up an anecdote about a man

author who claimed that he was
Enthusiastically the one referred
to and that his professional
standing with editors had been
irreparably damaged. Both
writer's were fired and later
married each other. zone Of
the writer's was woman.
AS for the regulation Of hours
for writer's, the code would have
to be pretty fairly elastic. You
couldn't say mo writer shall be

because there would be some

point as a guide. The idea, in
general, is to see how many
words there are in perhaps six
or seven typical lines, strike an
average, and then count the
number of lines. This, I may
say, gets you nowhere. Before
you have got very far down the
page, the lines begin unravelling
on you, forming designs like
jack -straws and sometimes &C
tually wriggling out of position
and moving upward vertically.
This confuSes anyone but the
most phlegmatic line-counter.
I have evolved, therefore, a
system of wordage-reckoning
called "the guess-system." In.
stead Of actually counting and
giving myself vertigo, I guess at
the number of words and let it
go at that. That this is not the
ideal measure can be seen by
glancing at the space between
the end of this column and the
bottom of the page. There Is
something wrong somewhere.
Some editors, descendants OF
Simon Legree, adopt Sweatshop
tactics in such cases and call
for "about two hundred more
words to fill" Now is that any
way to talk to an artist? After
completing a little gem Of En-
glish composition, with every
word carefully chiseled and pol
ished, so that just enough has
been said without saying too
much, how would you like to be
told to write "about two hun

There has been a lot Of criti-
cism Of the Government Con my
part) for not asking the en-
ployers Of writing labor to sub
NIT a code for the regulation OF
hours and wages Of their help.
Are we writer's to be the only
workers left shackled to a me-
dieval machine?
Working on the piece-system
as we do $50 much per word or
per piece-or per haps) 1t
should be fairly easy to set a
minimum wage and keep to it.
The only difficulty comes in
counting the words. I can't
count words on a page without
getting dizzy after eight lines.
You try it.
You begin "one-twothree-

constantly making remarkable
discoveries in the Etruscantomb
belt, and photographs Of these
have sometimes taken the place
of work in my schedule for five
or six days.
So it will be seen that any at
tempt to regulate hours or
wages among writer's must meet
with a certain amount Of con-
fusion, but I see no reason why
it should be impossible. My idea
would be to simplify the prob
lem by paying a minimum week
ly wages of, say, $500 to all
writers and more or less leave
the hours of work up to them
