and is a binding contract between
the company and each individual en-
ploye.
Among its provisions are those
by which the employees agree not to
leave the employment of the com.
pany in a body and not to counsel or
advise other employees to do so.
Number Dismissed.
Our men have been working
under this agreement for more than
ten years and the greater part Of
them are satisfied with its terms.
However a few weeks ago, it was
deemed advisable to dismiss a num-
Der of men for violation Of this
agreement. Some of these men had
threatened to strike. Others were
counseling fellow-employes to strike
and still others were threatening
employees who we're trying to live
up to the temrs of their working
agreements. Some of these men
were discharged because their serv-
ice records showed plainly that
they were undesirable employees
under any kind Of an agreement.
I'm accordance with the provisions
of their working agreement num-
Der of these men applied to the
superintendent for reinstatement.
They were heard, individually, the
reason for their discharge given
them and reinstatement refused.
Still in accordance with their con-
tract Of employment they appealed
to the president, but when in.
dividual1y asked to assign some
reason for their petition for re-.
instatement they stated to the presi.
dent that they had been advised not
to answer any questions concerning
their petition.
To Show Violations
THE right to appeal from the
president of the company to the pub
lie service commission is defined in
the working agreement, violation Of
which caused these men to be dis
charged.
"These former employees have &C
knowledged the validity of the work
ing agreement by undertaking to
avail themselves Of it's terms ano
the company is fully prepared tc
show that violations of this agree
ment were the sole cause of then
individual discharges.
f"Their places in the system have
been taken by men chosen from G
large list of applicants who are
ready to accept employment under
the conditions that the greater par
Of the car service men fnd satisfac
tory"

Since the celebrated author Of "Man Street.
"Babbitt' and "Arrowsmith' turned down the Putz-

srbject of countless editorials, letters to the ed
itor' and what not, most of them blazing away at
him with the assumption that he is out after a little
notoriety.
Perhaps such an assumption is justified; perhaps
again, it isn't. Certainly it isn't weakened by the
fact that Lewis went out Of his way to attract at
tentiop to himself by disappearing from Kansas
City pulpit.
1t may have been consistent with the mans i'm
patience with fundamentalism--as set forth so prof
itaby in "Main Street and "Babbitt"-that he
should lay his watch before him and then invite up
on himself the wrath Of the Creator, but it hardly
was good taste.
To the degree that he evoked large gobs of dis
gust from citzenry that is not fond Of such cxhi-
billions Of sensationasm, TO that degree also has he
awakened the suspicion Of these who otherwise
might acclaim his spurnng Of the Pulitzer award

Quality Paws

Quality, quiet and sensible, yields returns. A
walk down Fifth Avenue, New York, where good
taste and business mix, proves it.
There no insulting signs on Fifth Avenue.
The garish gcwgawry, which many merchants deem
necessary to attract the trade, is missing there. The
buildings fine, not garing but composed. There
is uniformity. There isn't billboard or an over
hanging sign. One-hour parking rules arc rgidly
enforced.
Fifth Avenue didn't just happen to be that way.
That quiet dignity which bespeaks value is effect
that has been attained only by 90 years of hard work
by the Fifth Avenue Association. The association
started with the principle that practical beauty sells
goods, and proved it.
Fifth Avenue is lesson for every merchant and
for every street. The first cost Of quality may be
somewhat higher than that Of taw,rincss, but good
taste pays best in the end.
