On the Wrong Trail

It is presumably the duty of MIR.
David Hirshfield,, Commissioner of
Accounts, to keep an official eye
upon the conduct of the various city
departments and investigate and re-
port any neglect, misconduct or
waste Of public money. Evidence
has accumulated recently that all
these conditions exist in the Depart
nent Of Public Markets.
1t is admitted that pushcart ped
dlers have been paying exorbitant
Aeense fees and that only 10 per
cent Of the money collected from
aen ever reaches the city treasury.
4 large part of it has been totally
aaccounted for.

To a Finish

Mr.. Jewell, the head OF the rail
shopcrafts' union, has elected to let
the shop strike run to a finish. 1t
is now strike not so much to over
rule the Railroad Labor Boards
wage decisions or to get the strikers
back into their jobs as it is to sal
wage Mr.. JEWELS prestige as a
leader.
The strike would never have come
except for too much loose advance
talk on Mr.. JEWELS part. He was
one of the promoters Of the rail-
coal alliance which was to enforce
union domination of coal mining
and transportation. He played Mr..
Lewis's game, thinking that Mr..
Lewis would also help him to play
his. But he ignored the important
fact that conditions in the coal in
dustry favored a summer layoff,
while conditions in railroading did
not.
Mr.. Lewis had to deal only with
the coal operators, many of whom
welcomed shutdown. Mr.. Jewell
had to deal with the Railroad Labor
Board--representing the govern
ment and the public-as we'll as
with the rail executives. Nobody
outside the shopcraft ranks looked
with any tolerance on rail tieup.
Mr.. Jewell discharged blank cart
ridge when he called out the shop
men. He could not stop work in
the shops. He could not seriously
interrupt transportation.
There were two elements in the,
shopmen's union One consisted of
the trained repair workers. The
other was composed Of the new
men-mostly unskilled laborers--
who were classified as skilled work
ers after the government took over
the railroads. These are known as
''McAdoo mechanics" They were
far below the others in skill and
counted on union pressure to hold
their places. They have been the
active element in the strike and the
chief obstacle to settlement. Shop
service would be greatly benefited
by their elimination.
Mr.. Willard, president of the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, said re-
Gently that many striking B. & o.
shopmen were working for other
railroads and that many striking
shopmen from other railroads were
working in the B. & O. shops. In
Eastern territory the Jewell strike
order has been evaded in this man
ner to considerable extent. The
strikers are not all behind the
strike. No wonder, then, that
many weeks ago the shopcrafts'
union chief quietly abandoned all
the issues on which he had called
the strike and concentrated on get
ting the strikers back without loss
of seniority.
Seniority was red herring
dragged across the trail of Mr..
Jewell's failure. He could have
saved his leadership, perhaps, if he
had won on this after-thought is
sue. But he could not force the
roads to yield on principle just

are plays. In this great army are rep
.esentatives Of every business, profess
sion and mechanical craft, and il the
time they have wasted had been en-
ployed in some simple work of agri-
culture like picking huckseberries or
digging potatoes the cost Of living
might have been materially reduced.
No mirage of shady grove and cooling
spring that ever quickened the pace Of
the weary desert traveller is as alluy-
ing as that which the ingenious youth
beholds as he journeys toward the goal
that always eludes him. In that mirage
he sees himself in that fascinating
region that lies behind the footlights.
land of indescribable charm to every
one who has never entered it. He sees
himself conversing on terms of inti-
macy with the actresses whom he has
watched from his seat in the orchestra
or gallery, wondering the while if the
radiant qualities that distinguish them
in, the, mimic scene dominate their
private lives. ] firmly believe that
desire to go. behind ykhe scenes of a
theater. and be introduced to actresses
is. the most powerful and, in many
cases, the most disastrous passion Of
which human nature is capable.
The Dran.atis.'s Equipment
A. fair for the stage is q gift that
the Fairy Godmother seldom brings to
the christening. 1t was the birthright
of Dion Boucicault, whose London
Assurance" was produced with sensa-
tional success when he was nineteen
years old, and, as it was as difficult
then as now for an unknown to obtain
la hearing, we may infer that he wrote
it at the age Of eleven. II is a rare
thing to find this extraordinary apti-
tude for dramatic creation in the culti-
vated mind, and we have only to read
the essays on the drama penned from
time to time by erudite scholars to
become convinced that the whole sub
ject lies beyond the comprehension Of
academic thought.
The education Of the successful
dramatists has been that of life rather
than of books. The last man to learn
the art is the literary expert, because.
he cannot escape the thralldom of fine
writing, which is a far cry from con-
struction. An accomplished playwright

fFrom The DiaIl
1T is evening.
The mountains sit as impenetrable
as Buddhas.
The light falls upon their foreheads
Leaving their quiet fornas and vast robes
in darkness,
The sky hangs dropping above their
heads
Like a canopy,
And the immense earth is awed beneath
their feet.
Only the lowing Of the ccws and the
calls of the herd boys in she
meadows
Come family to their ears.

A Million Aspirants

The result Of this was to create a
sort of will O. the wisp which the in
competent have followed to the neglect
of better opportunities. No estimate
can be made of the numbers engaged
in this futile pursuit, of the avocations
abandoned or the careers ruined by
following this ignis fatuus, but it is
safe to say that Of the hundred odd
millions who constitute our population
there are very few who have not at
least considered a try at the calling
that involves SO little work and holds
out promise Of such great rewards.
/ am speaking entirely within the
bounds of probability when I say that

of royalties disgusted him, and in time

It was Charles Frohman who i'm

followed, of paying the dramatist per-

Grafton had regarded as profession

with efficiency, and industry, reaping
large pecuniary harvests and implant-

Frohman and Fitch was far more ex-
tensive and disastrous than is general
