The capitalization Plaza.

Senator Keyes of New Hampshire
announces his intention to make a
real effort at the next session of Con-
gress to settle for all time the Union
Station Plaza situation. This is GER
tainly desirable. The Government
should not indefinitely postpone &C.
ton. 1t should either proceed to pur.
chase all the land remaining within
the boundaries originally set for the
Plaza, and then to Improve the space
in suitable manner, or it should de-
clare the case closed and the Plaza
limited to the areas now owned by it
and proceed to develop them.
The present condition on the Plaza
is disgracefully unsuitable. A great
space has been cleared of buildings.
In some cases lands have been pur-
chased. in others merely pre-empted
by declaration Of intent. On a large
part Of the proposed Plaza Govern.
ment hotels have been erected, tenn
porary structures that are now becom-
ing shabby and that cannot be main
tanned much longer. Private enter
prise has been choked, although a
few buildings have been erected and

Jazz at Coyent Garden.

Transformation of Covent Garden,
once one of the leading opera houses
Of Europe, into a jazz dance hall is
calculated to shock conservative Lon
don severely. This change will take
place, it is announced, on the 18th Of
this present month, syndicate which
conducts several halls in the West End
OF the British capital having taken the
lease and planning to install an orches-
ira for public dances, with the admis-
sion price set at half q crown, or about
half a dollar. Covent Garden, like
Drury Lane, has it's place in dramatic
history. 1t has been the scene of some
OF the most important theatrical pro-
auctions. Its walls have echoed to the
voices Of the most famous singers in
the world. 1t was to London what the
Grand Opera House in Paris is to
France, what the Scala at Milan is to
Italy, and what the Metropolitan
Opera House in New York is to the
American metropolis. A few years
ago an American musical comedy was
staged there, and the music lovers of
London shuddered at what they
thought was a sacrilege. Now jazz re-
places the great orchestras at Coyent
Garden, and the British capital is wall.

others are planned, the owners being
willing to take chance against ulti-
mate condemnation. Signs are posted
throughout the Plaza Offering sites
for sale. The land on which some Of
the Government hotels stand Is thus
offered to purchasers.
The original plan for the Capitol
Station Plaza comprised a much larger
area than that which has been cleared.
If that plan is carried out, an impress
sive park will be created, extending
from the station to the junction
Of Pennsylvania avenue with the
Capitol Grounds. Years have passed
since that project was initiated,
marked by condemnation procedure
for a period and then by a halt, &C.
casioned by protest against the
prices that were being awarded to
one of the largest holders Of the prop
erty. Since then, though the question
has been raised several times, nothing
has been done, either to complete the
condemnation proceedings or to re-
move lne ClOuu upon the Title HiiPoSeu
by the original definition of the area
of the proposed park.
Complaint has been made Of the fail
ure of the Government to proceed
With the acquisition of the area still
privately owned. within what is
known as the Mall-Avenue triangle,
upon which a veritable ban has been
put by an indefinite allotment within
that area of sites for public build
ings. This case. however, is not so
grave an injustice as that Of the
Capitol-Station Plaza, where con-
domination has been begun and not
completed and where private enter
prise in the direction of Improvement
is checked, with the result Of Gre
ating and leaving unsightly conditions
seriously rejecting upon the dignity
of the National Capital.

Cross-Wording and Education.

So rapid has been the sweep of the
crossword puzzle as popular diver
sion that educators have been some:
what overwhelmed. A fixed conviction
obtains in the public mind that CROSS
wording" has an educational value.
Professional schoolmasters, however,
are not entirely in agreement, yet
they are 10th to dispute the worth of
a pastime which deals in words, their
meaning, their spelling and their
origins. The Teachers College Of Co.
lumbia University, N. Y, Is now to
conduct series Of tests for grammar
schools, high schools, colleges and
graduate and professional schools of
that city to determine whether a sys-
tematic study of crossword puzzles is
to be introduced as q regular unit in
all institutions.
At present cross.wording Is largely
a pastime, relaxation to persons of
busy brain occupation and a sporting
proposition to some. A puzzle is more
or less of q challenge to the intellect,
the memory and the ingenuity. Many
people spend half an hour q day on
these enigmas Just to prove, If they
can. that they are as smart as the in
ventors.

School Head Praised.
Called to Poem bv
Henry W. Draper.

To the Editor of The Star:
I have before me the January, 1925,
issue of the Langley Pilot, published
by the Langley Junior High School,
and a praiseworthy publication.
On the first page is a poem, ITO
Langley" which will bear repeating,
the spirit disclosed therein being not
only commendable, but well worth
the consideration of all who under
cipal of the school, I presume, is the
author, as Henry w. Draper" fol-
lows the poem.
TO LANGLEY.
They say that he loved little children.
And that children loved him, too;
And loved to be
Where they could see
The wonderful things he could do.
He taught them to know the wild flowers,
The birds and the many strange things,
That science reveals
To the who unseals
The volume that nature brings.
Where tits. o. so pleasant to stray;
Where wise men strive
To make alive
The dead things of yesterday.
The children rejoiced in his friendship,
Accepting the love that was given;
Since child may discern
What the wise cannot learn
For Of such is the kingdom Of heaven
We shall always honor his memory,
And follow the path he trod
Till we learn to know
The thoughts that go
From the heart of a child to God
Sometimes in this world of more or
less, this and that" we get the
right man in the right place, and
from what I hear in my neighbor-
hood Henry w. Draper is one OF
those right men.

Of black and white squares hold their
fascination when they become part Of
a curriculum? VIII they appeal to the
student mind when they are made a
task instead Of diversion?
This is a psychological question, as
are most educational problems. It is
announced that IL the Teachers Col
lege finds that cross-words will not
serve as school tests formal public an
nouncement will be made that efforts
at solution are a waste Of time and
brain power. and that solving puzzles
will never develop mentality. Yet it
Is doubtful whether such a proclama-
ton will affect the popularity Of the
fad. At present it is universal. Day
by day new deXotees are lured. Per-
haps some OF the first corners have
lost some Of their zest, but the num-
bers of daily cross-worders are grow
ing. How long will the puzzle craze
continue? Perhaps not even the
Teachers College of New York can
answer that question.

Declares Postal Pay
Increase Is Deserved
To the Editor of The Star;

To the Editor of The Star:
desire to reply to the article in
tonight's Star, signed by w. j. Muir
ray. relative to the postal pay bill
being called by him class legislation.
In my opinion there is no more class
legislation in this bill than in any
other appropriation bill, as 1t is
merely intended to give the postal
employes-which are without doubt
the hardest worked bunch of en-
ployes that Uncle Sam has on his pay
roll-a salary commensurate with the
amount of work and study which
they are required to perform.
I defy Mr.. Murray or any other
Government employe to show me any
other department that expects as
much and gets as much from its en-
ployes as does the Post Office De-
partment. In what other depart
ments do they have to work eight
hours in their Office and then go home
and study two or three hours on some
examination that has to be put up
according to Hoyle and at an average
percentage of not less than 95 in or
der that he will be eligible for the
500 a year increase? Mr.. Murray
should know that this is why they
are trying to get this just increase
If he was in the postal service very
long, and /, will say for his benefit
that was In the railway mail serv-
ice for ten years and that got the

Defends Postal Bill.
Union Official Tells of Condi-
tions Surrounding Work.
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
Your issue of February contained
letter from W. J. Murray stating
that postal employees have been un-
duly favored by Congress in the mat
ter Of salary legislation.
1t is not my purpose to detail the
difference between postal clerical en-
ployment and clerical employment in
the departments in the District of
Columbia. Suffice it to say that post
office clerks work a minimum of
eight hours daily, with frequent over
time; the majority Of them work at
night, and must study distribution
schemes on their own time. Further.
there is much Sunday and holiday
work in the postal service. All
postal work is performed at high
speed and tension not required in
other governmental routine.
But. entirely aside from the diff
ference in employment conditions,
Congress is now hesitating to in
crease the postal employees wages
because the postal service is not
financially self sustaining.
This policy is clearly discrimina-
tory against postal employees. It has
never been suggested that War and
Navy Department employees, for in
stance, accept inadequate wages be-
cause these Government agencies are
not on a paying basis. Yet postal
employees are now told, in effect. to
first bring money into the public
treasury before they can hope for a
wage adjustment.
Mr.. Murray is correct in saying
that the postal salary bill is class
legislation. The postal employees are
the only class Of Government work :
ers who, while having no voice in
fixing postage rates. find that their
wages are dependent upon the service
earning a surplus.

LEAVE THE
MINER FREE
BY JOHN L. LEWIS
President, United Mine Workers
Of America.

1.-THE first impartial survey Of the Rookie
Teller plan for industrial representation.
which has been copied By hundreds of indus
Sage Foundation. In this smashing editorial
labor leader given h.z resction to its ind
ings.)
one outstanding fact that is proved
by the report of the Russell Sage
Foundation on the Rockefeller indus
trial plan as 1t is practiced in the coal
mining Industry in Colorado is that
the plan is a rank failure. 1t does
not do the things it is supposed to do.
The Rockefeller plan has been lauded
to the skies by employers who are OPP
posed to trade unions. The purpose
OF the Rockefeller plan was and Is to
fool the workers into becoming ut
terly dependent upon their employ
ment for everything in life. Under
this plan the worker has no voice
whatever In determining what wages
he shall receive for his labor nor the
conditions under which he shall work
Thus the worker is deprived of his
most important rights. The Rookie
Teller plan attempts to atone for this
injustice by offering the worker So
called industrial welfare. but that
kind of welfare does not furnish
bread, meat and clothing for the
miners family. Pay the miner a de-
cent wage ana leave him free man
and he will look after his own well
fare. The trouble with all such in
situations as the Rockefeller indus
trial plan is this: The very existence
of the plan recognizes the need for
some agency or representation
through which the worker may expect
to obtain justice and fair treatment
The worker has found such agency
and representation in his trade union
The Rockefeller plan attempts to sub
stitute something else for the trade
union, but the report of the Russell
Sage Foundation. based upon it's own
exhaustive research and study, proves
that the attempt Is a total failure be-
cause 1t does not do justice to the
worker. There is deep lesson in
this report, not only to labor, but to
employers as well.

Mr.. Stones Confirmation.

Confirmation Of Attorney General
Stone to be an associate justice of the
Supreme Court Of the United States
was voted yesterday by the Senate
overwhelmingly. The vote was II to s,
with two Senators refraining because
OF personal interest. Counting those
two Senators, Wheeler and Walsh of
Montana, and the only other member
of the Senate who, though absent, was
announced as in opposition, La Fol-
Iette, in all 9 Senators out of SO
were in the negative on the question
Of confirmation. The vote was non
partisan, AZ Republicans, q Demo
Gratis and Progressives voting for
confirmation, with 4 Democrats, 3
Progressives and Farmer-Laborites
standing on the negative side by direct
vote or by statement without voting.
This closes an incident that has &C.
casioned considerable delay in the
Senate at a period Of heavy pressure
of business. Time is precious at the
short session, and yet the Senate has
devoted many hours to the considera-
ton Of this nomination. Had a vote
been taken promptly upon the sub
mission of Mr.. Stones name the re-
suit would probably have been the
same, in perhaps the same proportion.
Doubtless the discussion would have
taken place in executive session. Cir.
cumstances, however, developed to the
point Of requiring, or at any rate max
ing desirable, an open session for the
final consideration and vote.
Two reasons were advanced against
the appointment Of the Attorney Gen
eral to be an associate justice of the
Supreme Court. One was that in a
case in which he acted as counsel long
before he entered public service he in
voked an unusual rule of practice in
favor Of his client, a large corporation.
The Senate found this plea no justi-
fication for rejection. The other was
that he had as Attorney General
moved for indictment and trial in the
District Of Columbia Of a member of
the Senate charged with violation Of
the law. He personally appeared be-
fore the committee and explained his
course in such terms that report was
promptly made in favor of confirma-
ton. The Senate yesterday sustained
the committees recommendation.
This procedure has been beneficial
at least in demonstrating to the coun-
try the almost unanimous belief of the
Senate in the fitness Of Mr.. Stone for
the position of associate justice Of the
Supreme Court. He will take his place
on the bench with the confidence of
the country in his integrity and his
ability to discharge the responsible
duty to which he is now assigned.
