Mr.. Garfnckel's Will.

Those persons who profess to fear and
distrust individuals who possess large
wealth surely would encounter difficulty
In any effort to explain Julius Garflnckel
within the terms of their theory. He
was a man who, by the application Of
his own genius to circumstance, created
an important business institution and
earned a vast fortune. But did he use
his powers to tyrannize over, Cypress
or exploit any fellow creature? His will
fled yesterday. provides the answer to
that question.
Mr.. Garfinckel left money to Emer-
sency Hospital for "the relief Of human
suffering" A similar amount he gave to
All Saints Unitarian Church to establish
and maintain q home "for needy and
worthy members ''' incapacitated from
earning their own living" The ultimate
residue of his estate he assigned to the
Young Women's Christian Association
for "a home and school" in the interest
OF the industrial arts and in specific
memory Of his mother.
But the most convincing evidence of

Labor Troubles.

William Green, president of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, has not minced
words in his latest comment on the at
titude Of John L. Lewis and the c. I. O.
He gave it as his opinion that Mr.. Lewis
refusal to consult with him and the
declinatiOn of the c. I. o. to appoint q
committee to meet with group ap-
pointed by the A. F.. Of l.. council was
"one Of the closing steps In q deliberate
plan" to set up a rival organization to
the American Federation of Labor.
The reelection of President Roosevelt,
it had been predicted, would mean
ascendency Of Mr.. Lewis in leadership
of organized labor. This was predicted.
not because Mr.. Green did not support
President Roosevelt for reelection, but
because Mr.. Lewis had been the fair
haired boy at the White House. 1t was
his Committee for Industrial Organiza-
ton would have the tacit support Of the
administration after the election. This
remains to be demonstrated. President
Roosevelt may have another problem on
his hands, problem entirely within the
ranks of labor. Lewis has the support
of powerful unions which have grown
and developed under the organization
of the American Federation OF Labor
Green has the support of other such
unions.
Mr.. Lewis, president Of the United
Mine Workers of America took that Or
ganization into open and pledged sup
port Of the reelection Of the President
early in the campaign. Mr.. Green and
the American Federation Of Labor stuck
by the traditional policy of non partisan
political action Of the parent organiza-
ton, although Mr.. Green announced his
own hearty support of President Roose-
welt.
The first showdown in the contest be-
tween Lewis and the c. l. o. and Green
and the A. F.. OF L. will come at the ma
tional convention of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor in Tampa. OF the
unions which followed Lewis into the
c. I. O., two or three will be represented,
Mr.. Green states, at the national con-
vention. He mentioned the United Hat
ters, Cap and Millinery Workers and the
International Typographical Union in
this connection.
The unions which followed Lewis into
the c. I. o. were suspended by action of
the Executive Council of the American
Federation of Labor. 1t is apparently the
intention of Mr.. Green to ask the conven-
tion TO ratify this suspension and to ask
that the unions be called upon to give
up the c. I. o. for reinstatement in the
A. F. of L. Apparently Mr.. Green has
come to the conclusion that the time
for conciliatory methods is past. From
now on, it is to be q fight.

Mr.. Garfnckel's integrity and maturity
of instinct is to be found In the impulse
of appreciation which prompted him to
bequeath one thousand dollars to each OF
one hundred and nine employees. They
we're his friends and his collaborators-
not merely "hired hands," paid wages
simply to pursue routine Of labor under
his supervisory direction. 1t follows that
his remembrance of them In his Anal
testament witnesses to the fundamental
honesty and justice Of his soul. Small
minded, mean hearted men do not do
such things.

with regret. Now it has additional cause
to mourn him and to hold his name In

Last Winter I interviewed the employ

forth on the part of his ONCE to secure

that through the efforts Of another off1-

never paid any money, nor has there

Beholding these glories Of the morning
the les0er beauties OF individual trees and
and evening skies, one should not forget
shrubs at this season.
Though lawns grow brown, in some
instances terribly 20, without apparent
reason for 20 doing. leaves OF trees and
some shrubs take on added beauty as
they hang.
Even on the ground these leaves add
one of the most colorful of notes. The
inquisitive pedestrian will not kick
through them. merely, but will look at
them as he walks.
He will discover an amazing variety,
not only In color. but in shapes He has
known about the latter all his life, but it
takes true realization to see the varying
shap and differentiate them as he
walks over them.
Thus q pedestrian may be never 20
busy, he still has time as he goes along
for something not visible on the schedule.
Perhaps 1t Is by this honest utilization
OF time that one makes great gains in
this world. We are too much given to
concentrating on the gains known OF all,
when we might make gains of another
sort II only we would think about them
ut the proper time.
Waiting In Union Station is one thing,
but watching the people while waiting
Is another, and takes no more time.
This utilizs ton OF time is open to every
one. whether walking or standing still
whether sitting ut desk or standing be-
fore the kitchen sink.
Time IL mystic, as we'll as actual.
Maeterlinck, among others, has written
on the mystic side OF time, how 1t exists.
yet does not exist, how 1t holds all and
yet holds nothing. how 1t is everything
yet fades into nothingness at less than
. touch.
Time is q giant bag, q container of q
sort. into which one Grams little or
much. depending upon the individual
nature. Here only the inner eye counts,
because no one outside can tell what
another has managed to put in his time.
Time is every ones property but he who
watches and waits may put as much into
1t as another who chases all over the
world.
1t is no wonder that the mystics of
MI ages ana n6ClOHS nave thought much
about time. what it means to the in
dividual soul and how its best qualities
may be utilized In the individual life.
Looked at from this standpoint, time is
not just emptiness. here today and gone
tomorrow. but 3 sure thing, which en-
dures. and stands still, and lives.
In time. thus comprehended, lie all the
past. present and future: these are seen
as not three parts OF time, but each one
all OF time there is or ever will be.
The time we take to watch q beautiful
sunset or notice an unusual leaf on the
sidewalk Is not time out, especially 1t
is never time lost Let no one ever tell
you so. Time is too big for that.
Time holds more. 1t means more IL 1t
Is supercharged with extra noticings. No
one will ever surround and comprehend
time, in its full meaning. but any one, by
taking extra thought, will get nearer to
the center Of things and become some
thing extra, in himself, II he adds to life
by f1lling his own time more full of the
small beauties Of everyday experience.
