The myth became reality, indeed,
The Robot toiled and served his every need
And now the master cried in joy; cat last
The days of unions and of strikes are past.
This beats the Federation-and no xraft
To pay" And so the master loudly laughed
One need but speak, the Robot must obey
Of four and twenty hours his working day
The Robot had no union, so it seems,
And no class consciousness and no fair dreams
Of freedom or of justice, for his head
Was but block He was not housed or fed
But he was simply told to do thing
And to obey he'd always quickly spring.
Close open DOORS or help lady stout
Unlace her shoes, or put the house cat out,
Or lift great burdens in his tireless hands,
In fact, do all the labors that were mans.
But soon the Robot he began to rock
And rattle and his knees began to knock
For he grew tired, worn out with so much toll,
And his machinery began to spoil.
One day, while polishing his masters shoes,
The Robot broke And no amount of CLUES
Or wires could mend him, for his work was done
Devoid of thought, of leisure or of fun.
And so we laid the Robot in his grave

The task of portraying the 'wob-
blies" was left to another romantic"
novelist, Zane Grey. Dr.. Grey--who
began his life at the more useful work
Of dentistry-wrote novel 'The Des-
ert of Wheat" in which he portrayed
the industrial workers as degener-
ates and criminals, whose occupations
were burning barns and crops, and
abducting beautiful heroines. 1t has
been my fortune to meet some hun
dreds Of "wobblies have a way
Of coming to see me when they get
cut of jail, and telling ME what has
happened to them. They are men with
souls of steel, tried in fiery fur
mace. I happened to see the filming

Grey's romance, and could discover no
resemblance between the haggard

curious things-I make my heroes out

what DR.. Grey replied, but 7 learned
afterwards that my remark had
caused him great uneasiness. He re-
peated it to our host, asking plain
lively, Glow do you suppose anybody
could make heroes out of my vii
lains?
And while we are listing the great
romantic champions of hundred per
cent Americanisn1, let us not over
look Harold Bell Wright. Rev. Wright
he began as Christian (Disciples)
clergyman--has evolved out of his
inner consciousness an America of the

tic America, virtue is always rewarded
at page five hundred and something,
with good common sense rewards
such as good common sense Amer

ship which this romance bears to
reality. the figures have been worked
out by mathematician-one of those
bright young writers for the "New
Republic" whom the hundred per cent
ers 50 cordially despise. This young
writer studied Rev. Wright's novel,

Marie briefly:
The hero, a criminal fleeing from
justice in Chicago, arrives in a village
in the Ozarks, the home of "Auntie
Sue, the silver-haired and golden
hearted re-creato1" Estimating that
there are three thousand villages to
which he might have fled, we have
an initial probability of one in three
thousand. The hero, drunk, drifts
upon a roaring river, and it would

The sheet makers for some years
have been in a constant state OF tur-
moil. since there were a large num-
ber of plants devoted to this type OF
production and new and modern
methods had increased plant capacity
much more rapidly than consumption
demand had broadened. The present
merger Is calculated to lead to more
stability in the sheet market and to
eliminate some of the cut-throat CON-
petition which at times has cut prices
to cost or beneath It.
The present merger Is regarded as
merely the first step In further inde.
pendent steel company consultations
in the Midwest. Once or twice In the
last year other big independents have
been brought almost to the brink Of
mergers. These steps have been
urged particularly by Cyrus S. Eaton
Cleveland banker and steel man. and
his associates.
The negotiations are reported to
have included Trumbull Steel, A. NJ
