The Labor-Farm Movement.

Attention of leaders in the two old
line political parties is calculated to be
drawn to the non-partisan labor-farm
movement. set under way in Chicago
yesterday, should it prove to be, as as
serted by Morris Hillquit, the most
significantyeventt that has taken place
in the American labor movement in
generation" Members of the farmer
labor and the socialist parties. labor
union leaders, railway unions and
clergymen united upon a proposition
to seek to install in the nations legis-
lative halls men and women of the
working class, agricultural and indus
trial.
The idea is not to form new party,
but to nominate and try to elect to
Office candidates known to be in SYM
pathy with the aims and desires OF the
movement. 1t appears to be new
kind Of "bloc," a larger combination
of existing potential blocs. Cynical
politicians may look skeptically upon
En- attempt to organize and coordinate
interests which must inevitably at
some stage of the proceedings clash, in
their view... The basic theory Of the
proposed combination Is that the In.
Evening star., 1922-02-21

terests Of all laborers and producers as
a class are identical. and there would
be no clash. But what about the So
cialist equation injected? Are all pro-
ducers convinced of the soundness Of
socialist doctrine?
An ominous note was sounded by
one Of the clergyman participants in
the meeting. The Rev. Richard Hogue
Of Philadelphia. executive secretary of
the Church League for Industrial
Democracy, declared that "a new tide
of insurgency" only lacking leadership
was sweeping in the schools and SEM
inaries. and its support could be
gained by supplying leadership. The
best interests Of the students and Of
the country would be served by leader
ship in the schools and seminaries
which would divert the attention of
students from such movements during
their formative and instructive period.
Talk of a tide of insurgency" in such
quarters does not ring sound nor
healthy.
So the movement should be watched
carefully and its progress noted. It's
inherent weakness lies in its mixed
elements. At the same time that very
condition would constitute strength if
the elements should be assembled un-
der efficient leadership of some strong
and dominating personality.

immigration Restriction.

The House yesterday. by the over
wheming vote of $50 to SO, extended
until June 30, 1923. the per cent re-
strictive immigration law. Chairman
Johnson of the House immigration
committee explained that as matters
stood the law would expire June 80
next. The Senate. it is expected, will
concur in the House action.
This is taken from a report Of the
proceedings:
Mr.. Johnson was applauded when he
declared that he was certain the peo-
pie of the United States never again
would desire to return to The old Gus
tom of free immigration. The
committee chairman said that while
it probably would not be considered
by Congress at this session, the House
committee would proceed Immediately
to the preparation of a permanent
law.
The present law is an emergency
measure, and rests largely upon the
unemployment situation at the time
of it's enactment. While the number
of the unemployed is not SO great now
as then. it is still great enough to
warrant the extension of the law the
House has voted.
As for the permanent change in the
law suggested by Chairman johnson,
it is well that the House committee
will not ask consideration of the ques-
ton at this session. 1t is so important
a question it should not be stinted in
the matter Of debate, and the card of
Congress is so crowded the proper de-
bate could not take place without pro.
longing the session undesirably. At as
early a day as possible the brethren
on Capitol Hill want to scatter for
campaign work.
The immigration question in its
larger bearings is Of interest to all Sec
tions and classes, and, like all other
questions, has been affected by the
war. To what extent the war has inn
posed new safeguards only debate can
show.

Bonus Muddle Worse Muddled.

The situation in Congress with re-
spect to a soldier bonus recalls the
Irishmans description of his sick
fathers condition: 1t is getting no bet
ter fast. The nearer the time comes
when decision must be made the
more hopeless appears division of
opinion as to the wise thing to do. 1t
is a situation in which no one can find
satisfaction, unless it he that there are
democrats who view partisan advan-
tage in the coming congressional cleo
tions as of paramount Importance.
Proponents of the bonus in Con-
gress. spurred on by officers of the
the five-plan bonus measure shall be
enacted forthwith, regardless of where
the money is to come from to meet
the cash installments. Responsible
leaders in the House. needing Presi-
dent Harding's advice. now are dis
posed to finance il with sales tax.
Members of the. farm bloc and other
sales tax opponents are bestirring
themselves in opposition, and declare
they will not be bound by any party
caucus to support such a program,
and that they will oppose on the floor
the adoption Of any rule seeking to
couple the bonus and the sales tax for
a vote without amendment. Advocates
Of excess profits and higher surtaxes
to pay the bonus are again active. de-
spite the Presidents plain declaration
that he opposed such financing.
Still another element. seeking an
'easy" way out. would enact the
bonus measure and depend upon econ
omies not yet effected to make possible
the cash payments out of current
revenues without additional legisla-
ton. President Harding has not said
specifically that he would veto such a.
bill. but he has made plain his strong
of it. The enactment of
such a bonus measure would simply
mean the forcing of bond issue, with
all the evil consequences which would
entail Secretary Mellon estimates
that. under existing law, there will be
a drop of $500, ,00O, 900 in the federal in
come next year. and that as economies
will account for but $500,000.000 Of
this sum, Treasury deficit of $780,
900 900 is in prospect. In view Of this.
it requires financial optimism of the
highest order to see where the money
is to come from to pay bonus.
The one suggestion which is practi-.
cal under existing conditions, and yet
which would assure eventual adjust
nlent of compensation for the former
service men-that cash payments be
deferred for one or two years-is the
one proposal which does not appear to
be making any headway in Congress.

The Art of Authorship.

A novelist who. is famous for the
quantity and quality of his output re-
Gently said something about writing.
He said, you cannot learn to become
a short-story writer or a novelist 1t
must come natural, like moving your
ears or knowing how to draw to the
strength of a hand in poker. Submit
what you have written to publisher.
Keep on submitting what you write.
You will soon learn whether you are
destined to shine in literature"
1t does not follow that because one
can wiggle his ears he also has
talent as a writer. but writing is a
knack. Some call it a talent, but that
is too complimentary. Many facile.
prolific and successful writers perhaps
have not that quality called talent. but
they have the "knack." 1t is not likely
that anybody taught them how to
write. They learned how to do it. but
they learned within themselves. They
learned a great many things from
other writers, but not by asking them
how they did it, but by reading them,
and having the "knack" within them
they could see the mechanism and the
plan for producing effects followed by
the other fellow. Without that "knack'
they would not have seen in the other
fellows work Anything but words. SEN
tences and sentiments. So writing is a
knack, and does come, naturally, just
as does ones ability to wiggle his ears
or make music on the jewshar7.

drama, will be a difficult enterprise,
the more admirable because it is diff
cult. The veterans Of the playhouse
have so consistently devoted them
selves to giving the public what 1t
wants" that stage displays have be-
toes. ankles, calves and knees. The
comforting theory has been cultivated
that what the public wants is what Is
most easily supplied. Gradually 1t has
dawned upon popular attention that
anatomy is a rather uniform quantity
in natures economy, and that variety
is to be sought rather in the play OF
human emotion than in muscular fiexi-
bility. The appreciation of the Shake
speare plays, however. has been over
marked. bringing fortune to several
old-timers. Clean plays Of simple senti-
ment and familiar Characterization
have found high favor behind the foot
lights and on the screen. Even Shake
speare, however, has been over
whelmed by the obtrusion of the anna
teur Venus de Milo.
The need of a specialized theater as
now recognized by the consolidated
producing organization is obvious. The
element Of theatrical patronage that
shares the mood of the cab driver who
said, Step up, madam, stockings are
no treat to me-" is entitled to con-
sideration. The money of an intelligent
and discriminating spectator is as
good as anybody's. The only difficulty
lies in supplying the material for the
theater in each community which un-
dertakes to interest On terms OF men,
taiity, with physical charm as con-
tributory but not dominant factor. The
theatrical producing managers are
wise in realizing that a period OF re-
construction is at hand for the theater
as we'll as for more prosaic enterprise,
and will no doubt meet the situation
with practical discernment and with
Difference to hints so broadly given
