WASHINGTON. Sept. 21.-The ad- ministration policy regarding com pulsory consolidation of railroads proposed by President Harding at Kansas City, will not be determined until after the President consults with the interstate commerce commis- sion, which has a voluntary plan worked out, and with Senator Cum mins of Iowa, chairman of the senate interstate commerce committee, an authority on railroads.
 Visitors have quoted the President as favoring the consultations, but 8 White House spokesman declared Friday that the President could not be responsible for unauthorized re- marks of callers.

On emergency orders prices have been $15.50 since September l, which $1.50 more than last winters price.

Labor in the United States Is Better Paid Than
Labor Anywhere Else
By SAMUEL GoMPERs. in New York Times.

IA y OF in any country in Europe is there a trade union movement
IN as free from internal discord, as free from bitterness and dis
il VI appointment, as united and confident of the future a the trade
union movement of the United States. The condition of labor
In Europe is not all due to postwar confusion.
Labor in the United States is better paid than labor anywhere else
in the world. It lives in better homes. It wears better clothes. 1t has
more leisure. 1t enjoys better food. It has a wider margin of choice in
determining how and where it shall live. It has more essential freedom.
Finally, it has a better trade union movement with which to achieve more
progress and Improvement. What is of interest to every one is the stnk-
ing fact, attested by every competent authority, that American labor is
the most skinful and productive labor in the world.
Of what avail are the programs of Europe if their concrete results
are inferior to the results of the efforts of American labor? t is notable
that the labor movements of Europe run strongly to programs and
formulas. They make formulas for everything. They embeIish them,
decorate them, punctuate them nicely, capitalize them freely, make
speeches about them endlessy, gaze upon them worshipfuly-and no
doubt thus please employers immensely.
But the American workers prefer an increase in wages, with all the
resulting opportunities, t a pleasing formula framed on the wall.
We have great distances where there is no industry whatever. In
point Of population our country is still almost half rural and agricultural
In addition, we have in our land all of the nationaliies and races of the
earth. In Holland there are only Holanders, in France only Frenchmen,
IN England only Brtishers, in Germany only Germans. We must meet
end reconcile all of the prejudices of the world, bridge all the chasms of
habit, language, thought and psychology, and employers have constantly
taken advantage of that fact. There is slight similarity of any kind
between the problems of labor in America and Europe, though European
doctrinares, inteleetuas and superior persons generally, feel free to tell
us how to order our affairs and how to enter the promised land which
is yet so very far from their own shores.

SIMPLE METHOD OF PUMPING
California Inventor Has Utilized Old
Principle With Results That Are
Eminently Satisfactory.

1t is said that a California inventor
has utilized the principle of the old
river f%erryboat In a plant for pump
Ing water from a stream. The CON
trivance consists Of two parallel
sweeps, fourteen feet In length, at
tached to a r%eciprocating beam firmly
anchored to the ground. The down.
stream ends of the sweeps connect
with sixteen vertical paddles arranged
in two parallel rows in a suitable
framework. The paddles are pivoted
and have an angular movement of
about 45 degrees. The pressure OF
the current against the paddle swings
the sweeps across the river, where
the angle of the paddles is automat-
ically reversed. Thus the sweeps
move back and forth with the regu-
larity of a pendulum. Attached to a
pumping unit on shore, the apparatus
delivers eighty-six gallons Of water q
minute.-Washi1gton Star.

No Civilization Lasts Long Unless the People
Are Trained to Their Tasks
By PROF. NJ. V. o'sHEA, University of Wisconsin.

The conditions in city life have changed markedly during the last
few decades. The individual home has been constantly losing its dis
tinctiye character Fifty years ago, even in the city, young and old spent
a considerable part of their time in their own homes. Today most of
their time is spent outside Of their homes; and even when they are in
their own homes, their friends are there with them.
The agencies in the city designed to help people to while away their
time have been constantly increasing out Of all proportion to an increase
in the size Of the cities. This simply means that people are spending
much more Of their time together in groups than they did formerly.
The tendency Of this new life is to make young people more respon-
aye, more alert, more selfTeiant in the presence Of Others, perhaps even
smarter than was true in the old order. But at the same tme,= young
people do not have training outside Of the school in long-contnued appli-
cation to any task. No civilization can long endure unless the people are
trained to apply themselves to their tasks. whatever they may be, for a
long time, that is to say, until the tasks are solved.

Americans Are Always Saying Cali Right!' It Is
Their Pet Phrase
By GUSTAV ~FRENssEN, in Letters From America"

The Americans are always saying cheerfuIy, careessly and lightly:
&Al right" t is their pet phrase It is a phrase appropriate to wander
es, pioneers, sportsmen, hunters. Americans are hunters, and always
they have been lucky at hunting. They have hunted Indians and bufaoes,
negroes and Spaniards and Germans, gold and copper and oil wells, and
always luck has smiled upon them. And evenings they sit by the fire and
talk of their spons.
Cares? Reflections? Right or wrong? Hunters do not ask questions
about such things. Americans are now going through al era like that
which Rome went through when it reached the Adriatic coast, Spain when
it dispatched Columbus, England when it laid hands on South Africa
and India. They are a people in the bloom Of its sprngtime, favored
and blessed by God because of its freshness, briliancy and efficiency.
But remember, all that is right and valuable contains something
tragic and sad. individuals and peoples alike, everything that is worth
anything bears the noble mark of guilt, remorse and need on its brow.
All the older nations carry this mark and do not seek to deny it: Spain,
Holland, Sweden, England, France, Germany. Creation is tragic. The
American people do not bear this old, holy sign of creation; in America
there is no scar, complaint remorse, want, error. Everything there is still
mechanically clear; everything comes out just as it should. Everything
there is still "al rght!'

ct Was Your Prime Minister. George Who
Saved Turkey From Herself"
By DR.. Al. ToYNBEE, in Contemporary Review.

Had we succeeded in establishing a moral hold over the last indie
pendent Nosem state, our ascendeney would hardly have been disputed
elsewhere: and the whole Isamie world, from Bengal to Constantnople,
and from the African lakes to the Caucasus, might have been drawn into
the wake Of the British Empire, except for a few French and Italian
dependencies scattered here and there as enelaves.
Looking back on this position today, the Turks, Egyptians,
Afghans, and Indians whom an English visitor meets at Angora have a
way Of smiling and protesting ironcal gratitude to Mr.. Lloyd George.
1T was yonr late prime minister they explain, "who saved Turkey
from herself. Had he given her one toyeh Of kindness, one friendly
stroke OF a gentle word, she would have licked his hand and we might
all have lost our independence forever. Fortunately, he preferred to kick
her till she showed nr teeth and summoned up her last energies to fight
for her existence; and, as it turned out, we have gained far more by
defiance than We could ever have gained by Cancellation"

William Lyon Phelps, in Scrbners Magazine-A correspondent
suggests for the ignobe prize no less a person than Walt Whitman,
whose fame is certainly broader and higher at this moment than ever
before. To me, he is one Of the American poets, and a man Of genius.
Yet there is an enormous amount Of rubbish in his complete works. In
many Of his pages l see nothing but a Sears-}oebuck catalogue with
calhope accompaniment. Would I place him above Edgar Allan Poe? l
would not. And if l could read only one American poet, would it be Whit
man? It would not. One hour Of Poe is worth a cycle Of Old Walt. But
there are passages in the Camden bard, especially his first lines, that
affect me like the ocean, the prairie and the stars.
