1t was about the middle of the
afternoon when Serena reached the
bridge, crossing the Hydraulic.
The city was really divided by that
Hydraulic. for on the other side lay
the homes of the very poor people,
with an occasional factory, belch-
ing out smoke and SCOT over the
shabby little homes and very dirty
alleys.
Just as Serena stepped off the
bridge, picking her way daintily
among the piles of old lumber and
rusty machinery, where some I'M
provements were being made on
the underneath part OF the bridge,
she met little boOtblack. He was
whistling cheerful tune and
stepping happily along.
"He doesn't need thing" Ser
ena gasped in astonishment; "he
just seems to be perfectly satisfied
with everything"
The reason for this contented
frame of mind was revealed to her
very soon, when another street
urchin appeared on the scene.
Hey! there, Jimmie!" he cried
in shrill admiration. where did
you get the pants?"
Serena looked quickly at the lit
tie bootblack's trousers and saw
that they were new.
''Oh, how do you like 'em, Bob?"
asked Jimmie, carelessly.
Fine! But where did you get

Then in a. fit of confidence, jim

and | just licked him good. Don't
they look just swell?" and he
strutted proudly along.
Just then Serena turned from
this picture of perfect contentment
to see dear little baby girl
running over the bridge in advance
of her tired-looking mother. The
thing that happened then was all
too quick for even a fairy-when
that fairy was only little girl one,
and just learning. The baby made
a sudden turn, and, before anyone
could stop her, had plunged head
first over the pile of broken timber
and down into the Shiny water OF
the Hydraulic.
Serena screamed with the rest OF
the crowd, and quite lost her head,
"Oh, what do they need, what do
they need?" she walled. mot a

But before she could finish, jim

Editorial Comment
Is America on Threshold Of New
inflation?,

(John lakewood in Forbes Magazine,
n Y.)
The expansion of business in the
United States since the first Of the
year has been so rapid as to raise the
question as to whether it was going
too fast for the future good of the
country-particula as to whether
the rest Of the world was ready for
SO much prosperity in America.
Since the first Of the year there has
been a marked increase Of COM
mercial and industrial activity in the
United States, rejecting in rising
prices and expansion in credit and
Federal Reserve currency. This de-
vclopment of activity has been re-
tarded by the coal and rail strikes.
Accompanying the expansion in do
nestle business there has been an
expansion in the evident ability of the
world to buy and sell from and to the
United States, coupled with the abili-
ty to command a large volume OF
credit here; as to Europe in particu-
lar there has been strengthening Of
her position to do business with the
United States. and also to command
a considerable volume Of credit
here.
As to the future, there is good evil
dence that world conditions justify
the expectations of rising volume of
sound business activity and prospect
ty for the United States, but hating
business in several Of the nations Of
Europe and unsatisfactory credit con-
ditions in thcm serve warning against
any expectations of a boom.
| Therefore, business expansion III

the year has perhaps been q bit too

and commercial slowing Up caused by

The Rail injunction

suV nan
PublicLedger.)
When the rights and interests, the
safety and the very lives Of the peo-
pie are endangered by conspiracy
against interstate commerce. the
Federal Government has right to
intervene and end such situations.
That is the essence of the Federal
Courts decision in the case OF the
Government VS.. the striking rail
shopmen.
Therefore, the temporary injunction
laid upon TIE strikers to cease from
murder, bombing and conspiring to
hinder the opedation of trains will be
made permanent. The contentious OF
the United States Government have
been upheld at every point.
The finding is in conformity with
numerous decisions and with the law
and the facts placed before the court.
1t is backed by long line Of prece-
dent. Furthermore. it is based upon
the soundest of plain common sense.
Before the Government showed the
existence Of a conspiracy the Nation
felt and knew from common knoWl-
edge and belief that there was con-
spiracy. No man in his senses and
who is not oozing class consciousness
will argue that the strikers have been
guiltIess of destruction. sluggings.
bombings and murders. The country
having the evidence Of its own eyes
and being in full possession OF its
senses knows better. For the union
leaders to plead entire lack Of knowl-
edge of all that was going on was
petty, childish, ridiculous, plain fool
ish
The strikers in attacking their OPP
ronents, the railroads, were injuring
the public. The roads fought back as
best they could, but the public could
not fight back The Government, be
it remembered, came to the aid of the
public and only incidentally to the aid
Of the roads. AS the Government
came in the strike began to break and
violence dwindled down. The in
junction justified itself then by its ef-
focts and in the opinion Of the court
il is justified now py the law and the
facts.
1t NAV be that the injunction was
too drastic in some of its provisions.
Yet they have been retained after q
long and careful hearing. Possibly
the injunction will result in row in
Congress and a further assault upon
the power of the courts and upon eX-
listing labor legislation. In the short
or view Of things It may even be
harmful, for the strike is settling it
self after the manner Of strikes and
industry is getting under way again.
There is a widespread disposition to
avoid the coming storm.
To avoid it. however, would be to
avoid the real issue that forced the
Government to ask the Injunction. 1t
may as well be taken up now as later,
for it is q battle tlIat must be fought
out some time. 1t will be a lonG
fight at the shortest. On its result
depends whether unionism or the
American people Will run these Unit
ed States.
That may as well be decided as we
so along 1T was the issue when the
Government asked for the injunction.

To Set Herrin Right

tNCW DIX IImcS.)
The findings and prescntmcnt of the
Illinois Grand Jury, after its tho
rough investigation of the Herrin
massacre. ought to be thought of as
duty reading" by all Americans.
Here they will find set down. as de-
tcrmincd after hearing hundreds of
Witnesses, the causes, origin and sue
ccssivc steps of as lawless and bloody
an affair as ever disgraced the annals
of any country. The Grand Jury
seeks to hold the scales even. 1t does
not overlook the provocative action
OF the armed guards at the mine. 1t
denounces in fitting terms the indif-
ference ana criminal negligence Of
tho Sheriff of Williamson County,
who, in the face Of repeated warn
ingS. took no measures to safeguard
the lives of the mon working in the
strip mines. But the burden of the
Grand Jury's charges falls most heav-
ily on the unoniSt assaiants, who ac
ccptCd tho offer Of the workers to sur
render and then marched them off TO
cold bloodcd and atrocious murder in
4 spirit Of ruthlcssness and ferocity
that q Turk at smyrna might envy
as something beyond him.
If the narrative thus officially set
forth is enough to shame and sicken
Americans, they may have at least
the consolation of knowing that a
fearless Judge and d resolute Grand
Jury have done their best to uncover
this awful crime and to punish the
criminals. Forty eight indictments
have been returned. It is now for the
prosecuting officers and the Illinois
courts to show that they have the
courage and vigor to bring the guilty
men to justice. The whole country.
