RAILROAD

Chieago-The United States rail

road managers by ordering the Penn
sylvania railroad-the leader in this

The board also refused the Penn
sylvania's plea for a rehearing of the
boards recent order that this railroad
desist from only treating with its
company union"
The board indicated how important
these company unions" are-and why
managers favor them-by its state
ment that of the hundreds of disputes
brought before ii, less than five were
brought by and for unOrganiZed EN-
plOyes"
IF members of any class wish to
Join a union they have that right"
said the board. IF they desire to re-
main out or leave such a union at any
time, they have that right. II they or
a majority OF any class want a union
or its officers to represent them, they
have that right II they, whether
union men or not, want other individ.
uals to represent them, they have that
right.
Neither the board nor the man
has the right by any kind of plan
or movement to dictate as to who
shall be their representatives. Any
attempt to do so is an unauthorized
assumption of power"

the September issue of the American
Economic Review.
The commonly accepted belief that
wages have been surely and steadily
advancing since 1890 is completely
disproved by these investigators. They
admit that nominal pay rates In many
industries are certainly higher than
those whcih were granted during the
presidency of Benjamin Harrison. but
analyses of wages paid and living
costs convince them that, when meas
ured by what money VIII buy. the
workers compensation has actually
diminished over this period.
Wages, II Is held, are meaningless
unless prices are considered. The
period conprchended by the survey,
1890 to 1918, was one OF rising prices.

small and dainty. And Spring gave II
cup.
! OF flew the messenger, twlttering
with JOY and pride. But when it was
far north 1t saw bit of bright blue
high in the air. That was where the
blue sky, impatIently waiting for the
deliverance of the sad old King, had
torn away just tiny corner of cloud
and was looking down slyly.
"Oh, beautiful sky!" cried the little
bird. II know that | should not STOP
but / must look at you ard sing just
q moment"
And 1t sang. The green cup fell to
earth, and became blue as the sky.
So did the little bird. That is why
the bluebirds always come ahead of
Spring now and why the iris is so
blue and beautiful early In the year.
There Is none left now, little
Spring, to bear the great message
said the Sun sadly. "There Is none
left now, and the old King must live
on and rule the world"
"Do you think that could bear the
great message?' asked a low voice.
1t was woman.
"You?" said the Sun. "You are
weak and not brave and strong like
the man, or mighty like white tiger,
or swift like the eagle. What could
you do, when they have faiIed?'
LET her try said Spring. And
she formed another green cup and
kissed 1t and gave It to woman.
Woman departed full of fear. She
did not run like the man or sing like
the bird. But, since she was afraid
and humble, she prayed.
Weeping and bleeding, she came at
last to the palace where the sad, old
white King sat waiting. And when
the woman appeared In the portals
with the green cup, all the gray geese
and the white ermlnes set up a cry
that echoed through the world. II
was like glaciers rolling headlong into
the sounding sea; 1t was like ava.
lanches shiyerlng below; 1t was like
the southern storms that break the
ice: 1t was like grinding bergs and
SCATTERING foes.
That Is the cry that rings around
the world every year now, and when
men hear 1t they say: winter is
breaking up
The old white King arose with a
glad face and reached his wrinkled
hand out for the green cup. He
pressed 1t to his face and inhaled the
smell of the growing thing. And in
moment 1t turned whlte-snow
white.
So the Easter lily became white.
And whenever the world is waiting
for a great message, all things are
well If woman bears 1t.

In England, instead of developing
suburban communities, they are trying

new development In England will be
practically a garden city, with plenty
of open spaces, recreation grounds,
golf courses well-placed factories and
Industrial sections, and healthful resi-
dental quarters. The worker will
have his patch of ground, and the
usual smoke and CRIME Of industrial
communities will be nonexstent.

was generally adopted, were naturally

town planning should have preceded
