A PROTEAN POET

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
 When D'Annunzio was self-appointed lord of Plume, he was busy a syndicate of pub fishers, issuing manifestos saluting the world in the name of one about to die for liberty. At the same time he was soldier, birdman and ad. miral of the fleet, as well as prime minister and chief of police. So that he was exceedingly busy, and became the least accessible of poten- tates, the Grand Lama of Tibet not excepted.
 But to his great disappointment Italy treated him with great consideration, refused to let him be the canonized martyr, and regarded his flaming manifestos as though they were plays or poems, significant merely as literature. Therefore, he was compelled to leave the citi- zens of Plume to wallow in their own puslla- nimity and transfer his typewriter to villa at Gardone.
 Here he seems to be making up for lost time. He gets something like $1 300 for lit erary article and $1,o00 for political disqui- sition. He had plunged heavily in agriculture. He weaves linen and dispenses sage advice from the second-story window. The world may have thought he was industrious while he was revo- luting at Plume. But that was lotus-eating, sybaritic life of "dolce far niente" compared with the flutter in the dove-cotes and the olive groves of Gardone now. And it's much more fun than making business of martyrdom. If his attention has been called to this, and if he has done anything about it?
 Most everyone wants good schools and good everything else, but they want to see their money used in a sensible business like manner before any more is forthcoming. If our pres ent city commission cannot give us good schools, good fire department, good police pro- tection, etc, then let them resign before they are recalled because Birmingham already is paying high enough for everything to be had.

RAILWAY CRAFTSMEN
 GET STRIKE BALLOT
600,000 Members Affected by AL
 Ieged Violation Of Contracts

Chicago, April 22.-GrievanccS cen terng about the contract system cm- ployed by some railroads in the handling of repair work has resulted in a vote for distribution of strike ballots to the G00,000 members of the railway employees department of the American Federation of Labor
 This department comprises the six federated shop crafts and the sWitch- mems union of North America.
 Authorization for the strike ballots was botcd at the sixth biennial con vention of the department which has been in session here two weeks and which concluded it's sessions today. The vote to send out the ballots was taken yesterday and officers declared that it was a counter move to 'an effort to crush our organization com petely."
 Will Favor Strike
 "If there is a strike and l feel sure our men will vote solidly for it, it will be in protest of the action of railways in ignoring decisions of the L. S. Railway Labor Board said B. M. Jewell president of the railway employees department.
 The labor board now has several complaints against the contract, or farming out system pending. It has been expected that a decision would be rendered soon after the conclusion of the present wage hearings.
 Board is Deiicu
 The carriers have arbitrarily re- duced wages in defiance Of the board" said Mr. Jewell "They have restored the piece work system and rcsortcd to the farming out system which is mere subtcrfuge by which they dodge la Dor board decisions.
