Fosters conclusion regarding the, outcome of the
struggle is worth repeating:
even the densest of the strikers could see that
the loss of the strike was due to insufficient pre-
paration that only fraction Of the power Of
unionism had been developed and that with bette
organization better results would be secured An
the outcome is that the steel workers have won al
precious belief in the power Of concerted action
through the unions. They have discovered the
Achilles heel of their would-be masters. They
now see a way out of their slavery. This is their
tremendous victory"
But it is Mrs. Worse who has gripped the esen-
tials of this nightly conflict and placed them be-
tween covers for you and to read, to feel, and to
realize. 'Men and Steel" is such book as was not
written before. Making no pretensions beyond ire
porting" the strike and interpreting in terms of
the human lives behind it, this small book of 1876
pages is a tremendous document. Through it you
reach back of the obscuring details and feel the
pulse and the breath of the children, the women
and the men who fought this battle you see what
it means, you feel what it means, for over mil
lion people to live in conditions which could force
them into such a fight Mrs. Vorses writing is
not sentimental; her style has clean-cut, spare
athletic quality much like the women herself: but

phases OF CnlS cnange we may PICK ouI certain
events, certain persons, or certain books as SYM
bolizing the passing of society from one phase to
the next The great steel strike of 1919 may be
used to mark the passing of our national labor
movement into new period that of great mass
movements, united action Of diverse groups, the
first steps toward complete unification.
The strike shook the social structure of the ma
ton. One institution came tumbling down in ruin
the capitalist class destroyed it themselves when
they saw the great strike shake it loose from their
complete control. The Interchurch World Move
ment had been conceived as an instrument OF cap
italsm. John D. Rockefeller Jr, went over the
country speaking for it, millionaires gave literally;
everyone expected the new undertaking to provide
profusey of social chloroform But the great steel
strike shook the social structure so hard that it
woke up some of the Reverend Bishops and tech
nica experts. The result was theInterchurch World
Movement Report on the Steel Strike by Com
mission of Inquiry of the most respectable charac-
ter marvellous piece of comprehensive, accurate
and impartial research. Within six months the 4.
capitalist class had destroyed its creature which
had played it false The report was "bad-medicine"
for the exploiters May we hope that it may be-
come symbol for the breaking Of capitalist con-
troll of the intellectual class?
Fosters book may be cited as marking the ar
rival of new type of leader in the labor move
ment, corresponding more closely to the new con-
ditions and temper Of the masses; a type, at once
canny and practical, intelligent and efficient, fear
less, but not revolutionary AS clearly as Foster is
distinct from the Communists, he is as clearly
different from the old trade union bureaucrats
The publishers call his book one 'of the first i'm
portance in American labor history" That it un-
doubtedly is and it is more it is Of the few first
hand discussions of the tremendous technical pro-
blems involved in the organization of masses Of
men, and Of the technical methods being evolved
in the stress Of these movements Because it comes
right out Of the fire Of practical events-events
which mark the beginning of a new period in the
struggle Of labor in this country, 1t behooves all
realistic members and students Of the movement
to become familiar WITH and learn from this book.

STATE SCHOOL
fund READY TO
BE DISTRIBUTED

More than half a million dol
lars will be paid to the different
counties of the State during the
next few days by Raymond Ear
hart, state treasurer, as the
counties apportionment from the
State school fund.
This will be the last time the
funds will be apportioned on the
census report, the fifth State
legislature having passed an act
which bases the fund on the
average daily attendance.
Under the law under which
Treasurer E4rhart will recognize
warrants the COUNTIES receive
State school funds in January
and May, based on $3.50 per
pupil, based on the census re-
port. In view of the fact that
the census age is 6 to 21, it was
held that census children were
not school children and the aver
age daily attendance was consid-
cred as a fairer method.

There was good deal of sense and

despite Ezra's weak explanations
their point of view was practically
Identical. Ezra was beginning to get
the reputation of being henpecked, and
his excellent wife, excellent In some

That might have been well enough,

Walter went about town, a detected
reprOach to the kind-souled Ezra, and
poor Flora mourned till all the happi.
ness seemed gone out of her life.
That evening Ezra came down to the
Parsons home.
"See here, Greg" he said, tive were
talking about Melinda today"
"Quite right, Ezra; what about it,
"Why, Just this-Tve been thinking
over what you said"
"About time, should say" re-
sponded Parsons.
T don't care for myself can
stand Melinda's peculiarities. That
poor girl of mine, though. and young
Maywell-she's set them grieving their
hearts away with her stubborn ways,

Ezra broke down.
"Ezra," said Parsons very seriously,

I'll guarantee to cure your wife OF

"Greg," responded Ezra, grasping
the hand of his old.time friend fer
wildly, "you do just that and TIL give
you those old war relics of mine
you've coveted so long. What am ]
to do to help your"
If Ezra Dockrlll was mystitied as
to the plan of his friend, his erratic
helpmeet had clear Mysteries when she
found he had defied her authority and
had gone to the reunion. She rushed
down to the Parsons home, enraged,
then anxious, and finally alarmed.
"rve got a sort of doleful story to
tell you, Melinda" said her old friend.
"Im afraid Ezra has broken the
traces. It's like horse checked up
too high. Give him the chance and
the critter'll sprint"
"Why, what do you mean? Surely
nothing serious has happened to
Ezra 2" cried Mrs. Dockrill, quick
catch In her voice.
"It's the warllke spirit, you see,
Melinda" explained Mr.. Parsons.
Everyone Is talking about the Meyl-
can war. Why, there were lots Of the
old soldiers Just wild to enlist. Ezra
is a brave man. The war spirit got
him. They were recruiting at Pei
ham. If he's Joined the army again
he'll make his mark"
It was there that Mrs. Dockrill
broke down. "Tell you now" observed
the specious Parsons, II might have
little influence with the adjutant
general, and Ezra, too, II he really has
enlisted. You've got to promise cOnces-
sion. His heart is set on Flora and
young Maywell-"
"rll agree! I'll agree" interrupt
ed Mrs. Dockrill vehemently. "0nly
get my dear husband back and he'll
never have to complain OF me again"
She passed n sleepless night. When
that precious old schemer, Parsons
presented her husband the next day
at noon, Melinda threw her arms
about the neck Of her prodlgal spouse
and Parsons sneaked away feeling
quite mean for giving so hard les

PARDON FOR L[|B
IS AGAIN SOUGHT
Friends Plan to Present Peti-
ton Today at Meeting
Of Board
TO CONSIDER OTHER CASES

Pardon for William s. Lcib former
Republican boss of Schuylktll County,
now serving sentence in the Eastern
Penitcntiary. will be asked of the Board
Of Pardons when it meets today.
Ever since Leib's conviction of forg-
cry of tax receipts. friends have been
making strenuous efforts to obtain his
release. They have made up the petit
ton which will be placed before the
board today.
Aside from Leib an interesting case
IS that of Sabatino De Masi, who had
been in the Eastern Penitentiary for
twelve years. IEc was saved from the
death penalty and his sentence changed
20 life Imprisonment, after Charles }.
Roney, a lawyer, had worked untiringly
in his behalf.
Although De Mast was without funds
when he was tried in 1909 for the
killing of James Quinn, son of a saloon
keeper at York road and LyComing
street. Mr.. Roney. after questioning
the prisoner, became convinced of his
Innocence.
The trial resulted in a verdict OF
xuilty, and the late Judge RalSton
Comporto, n companion, to be hanged.
Following Mr.. Roney's appeals Dc
Masi's sentence was changed to life
imprisonment.
After her husbands death, five years
pxo, Mrs. Roney, who resides at 100
Catharine street, continued the fight IN
De Masi's behalf. 4 month ago She
convinced the District Attorneys office
that a complete investigation of the
case was necessary.
Mrs. Roncy said it was hoped to pre-
sent sufficient testimony in De Mast s
behalf to the Board of PardonS to obtain
his release before Christmas.
The lsardships of three young men
who arc serving terms in the State Pcni-
Tertiary have aroused the sympathy of
Mrs. z. NJ. c. Webster. of Nincland.
to the point where she will personally
take before the board information which
she believes will obtain their release.
Joseph dl Biaso. his brother. John di
Biaso, and Dan PelusO are the three
who are serving terms varying from two
to three years in the penitpntiary for
receiving stolen goods. 4 petition in
their behalf has been circulated by Mrs.
