sweeping generalities, which leave
payrolls, unemployment indices and

Scala Orchestra's Concert.

Orchestra at the Hippodroma last even

Beethoven and Wagner. The first named
master was represented by the Leo

symphony Wagner's contributions were
the preludes TO "Lohengrin" and Die
Meistersinger," the "Tannhaeuser" over

There was nothing in the playing OF

radically different from that made after
earlier concerts. The auditorium, as has

Exit the Rail Labor Board.

Decentralization Of national bar
gaining by the railroads on wage
questions, as agreed upon when the
Association Of Railway Executives
abolished its labor committee, means
that 101 railroads, controlling 80 per
cent Of the railroad mileage in the
country, are ready for stand up and
knock down fight on the question Of
whether the railroads are to be run
for the benefit of the many or con-
tinue, as In the last five years, the
mich cow OF special privileged tabor
groups.
Collective bargaining will not be
interfered with by the passing of this
labor committee. The progress of
Industrial democracy will not be
stayed by It's disappearance. These
are based on principles too deep and
lasting to be uprooted by the act OF
any set of railroad executives. The
workers viii still have their organi-
cations 10 take concerted action where
it seems to them necessary.
But il IS not going to be SO easy
Tor small groups of workers or Of
employers TO bring down the dlumb-
screws on the general public by dash
ing before this special labor commit
tee with every minor grievance over
hours OF work or wages and BY i'm
putting to these minor difficulties an
aspect of wide Importance by reason
Of their mere consideration by com.
mittee Of nationwide jurisdiction.
In railroad labor affairs from now
on a mountain is going TO be a noun
tain and a mole hill is going to b,
a mole hill In the recent past th,
existence of a central labor board
was desirable for several reasons.
The need for broad gauge coopera
tive action was imperative during
the war. But the existence Of tho
board facilitated wide Involvement OF
railroad systems even where the dis
pute under consideration was purely
local. Labor agitators found it easy
to build up imposing issues by drag
ging unimportant controversies be
fore the board.
This is not TO say that the boarc
did not perform a good work 50 fal
ms 1t was able. Had II not existed
matters might have been much worse
Tt checked the tide if it could mo-
hold it back altogether.
But now the hour has come wher
wire pulling. special pleading ant
bullying either by railroad workers ol
railroad operators are just about a'
effective as shouting in the rain barrel
when it comes to proving to the coun
try that 1t is getting all that it pay:
for in transportation. Before the
railroad workers pay and the railroad
investors return are safe and secure
the public is going to demand that
the millions it pours in Transports
tion charges into the railroad till shall
be expended wisely by the manage
ments and bring proper return
whether paid out for labor or for any
other purpose.

Why We Are Here.
A Brief If Not Conclusive Answer
to an Old Question.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: Andrew
Barton asks the explanation Of why we
are here Well, well l can give but
one explanation, which is no explana-
tion at all Wo are here because OF
hope the explanation is highly salts
factory.
The reproductive instinct is born in
every living thing. The lowest forms OF
bacilli and the highest forms Of man.
malta do not differ In the least in this re-
spect. Moreover under stress species will
eliminate intermediate stages in order
to prevent extinction. Forms which
ordinarily are oviparous sometimes be-
come viviparous in order to prevent cx-
tinctioa.
Even plants OF the higher orders when
mortally hurt cut out intermediate de-
velopment and go to seed. Take away
the reproductive instinct and life VIII
quickly be snuffed off the earth. Be-
cause of II a single acorn possesses the
potentiality OF all the oak forests in
the world. The reproductive instinct In
sures the accomplishment of the rest.
Psychologists tell US that the repro
ductive instinct resides within the SUBJ
conscious self. Doubtless this is true,
but / should like uncommonly well to
know how they found It out. 1t is gov
erned in part by the conscious self, just
as the winking OF the eyes or breathing
is controlled in part by the conscious
self SO the reproductive instinct asserts
itself, sometimes beyond the control OF
the conscious self.
Therefore. the only answer that can
understand is the fact that our children
were brought into the world solely that
in time they may bring other children
into the world. just as the acorn is des-
tined to bring oak trees into the world.
The vitamines OF tho seeds and the en-
zymes OF plant juices enter also into the
life Of every being. biped or quadruped,
that consumes them. Without these
mysterious agents life cannot be sus-
tained. They are just as much a mys-
terry as the reproductive instinct and
there may be relationship between
them And when we are able to get
along without them it Is not likely that
we shall be here. y. Y. u.

THE GIRL ON THE JOE.
USING WHAT YOU HAVE.
BY Jessie Roberts.
1870. by Wheeler SyT

This little story of the success of two
young women might be called orange
peel and gumpuon, for these are the
factors that made the success possible.
The great fact that if you hope to make
money you must work with what you
have is emphasized TOO, and it is fact
that women who have not been trained
To work should take heart.
These two girls belonged to what is
called society. and had not expected 70
earn their livings but fate had its say,
and they found that they must either
be dependent on others. none too well
equipped TO take care Of them, or sup
port themselves. With true modern
spirit they decided on the latter course.
But how?
