room clean. All one had to do was to pick ups
papers thrown around, dust the chairs and
keep the spittoons clean. Only, one must do his
work quietly and go about in silence. One
should perform his task and leave like shad-
ow, without a sound. There were big men
who required attention without disturbance.
Smith was overwhelmed with Joy. Had the
manager been a statue he would have kissed
his feet. Had the manager been child, Smith
would have embraced him in his arms, but as
he was middle aged man whose diameter in
creased every year, Smith did not dare. He was
irresolute as to what he should do to show his
appreciation. He worried himself so that he
could hardly stand on his feet. He tortured
his soul by making himself think that he had
been the worst sinner that had ever lived and
that the manager was god almighty. And in
his lowliness he clasped his hands and bowed
before the manager, not daring to look him in
the eyes. Before he went to bed that night he
fell down on his hands and thanked the Lord.
He idolzed the men for whom he kept the
convention room in shape. But he could never
understand these people. There was Mister
Pork for instance An awfully big and heavy
fellow, having a fat cigar wedged in between
his lips. Then there was Mister Pigstee
most peculiar man. For hours he would talk
about iron and steel; and one day he declared
he had sent a telegram to the east for ship
ment of hands. Hands were cheap in the east
and it was worth while to pay the freight
Smith wondered what kind of hands Pigsteel
referred to- Were they mechanical hands, or
was he talking about human hands. In his ig-
norance, Smith looked at his own hands. He
didn't know. Another time there was an auto
mobile accident outside the hotel, followed by
an agonizing scream from woman who must
have been torn in two The Shrek echoed
thru to the convention room, but Pigsteel puff
ed his cigar and never moved. He was think
ing of the market prices.
Another nice man was Mister Oilbarrel Once
this knd-hearted soul gave Smith cigar Such
a, big one! And how good it smelled 1t sure

CMITH was an old man. His body was bent
forward as if he had carried a burden on
his shoulders all his life. His arms hung loose
ly down his sides, with hands like weights.
Gray hair covered his head. The skin on his
face was grayish and dusty, and it gave one a
barky impression. His eyes were sunk far in
his head, and were framed with almost visible
bones. Out of them shone no light, no hope
There was look of patient obedience in them
There was an air of harmony between his
humble soul and his crooked back. He was
satisfied with his lot.
For many years he had worked as garbage
man at the Constitution Hotel. But now,it
was different. He was no longer garbage-man.
He was boss. He recalled the days when he had
been jack of all trades around the place That
was long ago. in his younger days. The hotel
had grown enormously. Now there were JAM
tors around, scrub women polishers, women
who busted furniture, men who cleaned rugs
with vacuum cleaners innumerable bellhops
and walters, and doOrman who was dressed
like king. There was also man to help car
'rylout the garbage. Of this Smith felt proud.
He was boss
Why shouldn't one feel proud? One had a
steady job, nothing to worry about The work
one knew by heart So many cans full, so
many cans to empty 1t was easy. When Sun
day came one went to church. And there was
the kind man, the servant of Cod who knew
all and loved all. One should work and then
pray, and then everything would be glory. One
would be saved! Smith was glad. He worked
and he prayed.
ONE day Smith was called into the managers
Office An employe had died and there was
job in store for an honest man. The man
ager had decided on Smith. He had carried
garbage long enough. The manager had gath
cred riches while Smith had gathered garbage.
Someone else could carry garbage Smith
shouldn't have to break his back any more 1t

workers being merely incidental to
the great task of extracting profits
and fabulous profits, too-for plutoc-

is that its keenest advocates are EN-

America when you don't have to bene-

A point into which l inquired with
some care was the question of high
wages. Here it was particularly help
full to get the evidence of English
workers who had emigrated in the
course of the last few years. They
all told me the same story. Tho their
nominal wages were higher than they
would be getting in England, the cost
of living was so high that their real
wages were about the same; in some
case even less. Special stress was
also laid by all my informants on
The terrific pace and intensive charac-
ter of the work. So severe is the
strain that men are, on the average,

sack; another sidelight on "benevo-
lence." +*4.'
1t must be remembered. of course,
that there are exceptional trades
where the wages are extremely high.
The chief Of these is the building
trade, where skilled workers such as
painters, plasterers and bricklayers
command at the present moment in
America a high scarcity value; their
wages may be as high as Gle $500
or more week. But this is excep-
tional.
