Test of Leadership.

Because some of our industrial leaders
have been stupidity inept and blind in
their handling of labor relations, does
1t follow that labor leaders must take a
leaf from the same book? A test of their
wisdom seems to be in the making at
Detroit.
The injunction granted the Chrysler
Corporation by Circuit Judge Campbell,
calling on sit-doWn strikers to abandon
their illegal occupancy of property, is
based not only on the law but on sound
common sense. No one can deny its full
justification under the circumstances
outlined by counsel for both sides. Do
the labor leaders intend to ignore it by
the flimsy excuse of not interfering"
with the sit-doWners but leaving with
them the decision whether to obey
court order?
If so, they indicate deplorable lack
OF Judgment and of responsibility to
their men. The question at issue is not
collective bargaining, wages or hours or
working conditions or even the blunder-
ing tactics of some employers whose
warped point Of view is indefensible. The
question at issue is whether, as Judge
Campbell says, defendant strikers or
anybody else have the right to seize and
appropriate $500O0,000 worth of prop
erty of the plaintiff and to prevent by
threats of violence any use of the prop
erty by the plaintiff or its agents"
The judge relates, significantly enough,
that in no case examined through pre-
vtous court decisions docs the defend
ant stand before the court as the de-
PENDANTS do here, freely admitting the
seizure of another's property by force
and threats OF violence" That is, indeed,
precedent in this country. Do the labor
leaders want to let it stand as precedent,
attracted for the moment by a superb
clal glitter of what seems to be success?
Not If they are wise and not if they are
to demonstrate themselves as fit leaders.
To no class in America is the preserva-
ton OF respect for law and for the courts
more important than to those who labor
with their hands. To no class is there so
much danger in the destruction of this
respect for the law and for the courts.
The issue in the case at bar" said
Judge Campbell, is not between this
plaintiff and these defendants" 1t is
much broader than that. 1t affects not
merely property rights" but the human
right" OF personal liberty as well. If
group Of individuals is able to seize prop
erty at will and hold it until ransom
has been delivered in the form of
acqulescence with its demands, it is a
very short step to the seizure of persons
and their liquidation" which, like the
sit-down, is another European innova-
ton. The same courts that protect
property rights protect, also, the rest
of the Bill of Rights.
In Flint recently Governor Murphy
was able TO hold court orders in abey-
ance until negotiations were completed,
He did dangerous thing, but he avoided
bloodshed. In Detroit he is faced with
the inevitable result of an expedient
compromise. But he is giving other ad-
vice: THE law must be obeyed. There
must be no willful disobedience of court
orders or defiance of public orders" The
labor leaders, not the men in the ranks,
are responsible for following his advice,

| every admirer of things literary must "let
on" that he has read all the really great
things.
To listen to polite talk about books is
to get a good laugh, if you are SO
minded. Everybody has read everything.
This little subterfuge would do no harm,
perhaps, if it were not for the unfor-
tunate fact that many persons tend to
believe what they say.
Not wishing to answer mo" to the
question, Have you read Meredith's
The Egoist?" every one present has read
it. Oh, of course!
And every one, after awhile, really
believes he has.
1t is SO easy to mix up those old names,
and believe what one wishes to believe.
Amy one, by taking a little thought,
can make for himself a nice little list of
the great things of the past which he
really ought to read.
Ought, of course, from his own stand
point.
1t is not a social misdemeanor, as
some would have US believe, not to have
read certain great works of art.
1t is simply our loss.
Not every author, for instance, is for
every reader.
Let that point be insisted upon. Some
readers think Dante the greatest of au-
thorS, others cannot abide him.
Many modern reader tries Jane
Austen in vain. Her honesty, which won
the liking of Maugham-She never wrote
about anything she didn't know about
is often overlooked. The fact that very
little happens, in the usual sense of the
word, is not to the liking of many mod
ern readers, brought up on the machine
gun school of fiction.
There are few greater enjoyments, in
books, than to go back to some of the
Older authors, and make them your own
for day or two.
1t SootheS the restless spirit of the
times for one thing. The sales talk for
these writer's has ended. They endure
II they endure, simply because their
works refuse to perish. Some one is
forever discovering them.
What finer sport for the reader, than
to stumble over an old dusty set of Rob-
ert Louis Stevenson in the attic, some
day, and discover for himself again the
magic OF the old word magician!
There are scores of these trips into
the yesterday possible for any one who
sincerely feels the lure of the past. Not
every one does, of course and if YOU are
so modern" that you cannot even rest
in wing backed chair, but prefer one
of these funny things all chromium
tubes, stick to the present. 1t Will be
best.
But the mind so attuned to facts that
the past looms as we'll as present and
future, Will find something pleasing. in

Smiths essays. "Al' Smith, some one
says, lightly, but his name was AleXan-
der. He discovered 'Dreamthrope" and
put 1t on imperishable paper for us to
discover, too, if we will go back
One of the chief glories of English
fiction" eh?
And one never has read it,
Maybe it would be very good thing
to read, after all, little excursion into
the past, to find out what people
thought about then, and how they diff
fered from US, if at all in the novels
they wrote and read.

A Rhyme at Twilight
By
Gertrude Brooke Hamilton.
Climbing the Cascades.

Leaving Paradise vale
We climbed Rainier's mountain trail,
Camping for the night half way;
Up and ON with dawn of day,
Reaching the great mountain crest
AS the sun, now travelling west,
Tinted with a golden crown
A light cloudlet farther down,
While the sky above, deep blue,
Stretched in vast, unchanging hue.
Thru binoculars tall trees
Only seemed shadowy frieze
To rivers silent flow
Fourteen thousand feet below
On the snow-capped mountain height
Like the hush of deepest night,
Not an echo, not a sound,
Broke the solitude profound.

When Senator Ashurst mentions a be-

he puts a metaphysical twist into an

ability to talk one way and think an

So III CUES.
The hope of some of the supporters of
the constitutional amendment plan is
that if Congress submits an amendment
tTt States for ratification the Presi-
dents plan to revamp the court will be
allowed to die. So far there has been no
indication, however, that the Chief EX-
eCutive would consent to let Congress
pass up his bill. On the other hand, if
Congress finds that it has passed law
permitting the voluntary retirement of
members of the Supreme Court after
reaching 70 years Of. age and after
having been ten years on the bench
as it has-and that it has submitted an
amendment to the Constitution, dealing
with the subject of court decisions in
one way or another, the urge to drop the
Presidents bill may be great. On the
other hand, presidential supporters take
the view that if those who favor an
amendment to the Constitution are given
their head they may be the more willing
to let the President have his bill so that
he may operate on the court Immediately.

RACE TRIUMPH.
Wife Sees CraCk-up of
Jack Rutherford

The Presidents Cup Regatta
came to q glorious conclusion be-
fore 10000 spectators yesterday
when the Notre Dame won the
Presidents trophy and the Italian
entry broke the worlds record.
The greatest thrill in the race
Of the big boats occurred, how
ever, when Jack Rutherford's
Juno, doggedly churning away be-
hind the leaders, shot into the air
at a turn and went to the bottom
Of the Potomac. Rutherford and
his mechanic, Comdr. Jack Lynch,
were thrown from the boat and
escaped injury.
ITALIAN TOPS RECORD
The race for the prize trophy
Of the regatta is run in three
heats. The Notre Dame, piloted
by Clell Perry and owned by Herb
MendelSohn, of Detroit, came in
second in the first heat, first in
the second heat and second in the
third heat tc win by 1,400 points.
The Alagi, owned and piloted by
Count Theo Rossi, was second.
It was Count Rossi, running in
the third heat, who drove his high
powered water monster around a
lap at 68.802 miles an hour to
break the record.
WIFE SEES CRACK-UP
The spectators were not the only
ones to get a. thrill when the Juno
smacked to pieces. Mrs. Maude
Rutherford, = driving her Palm
Beach, also was in the race, and
she passed over the spot where
her husband crashed a few Sec
ondS before. Mrs. Rutherford was
too busy handling her own
buckling boat to take in all the
details.
She said:
II couldn't see Jack. I didn't
know whether he'd been killed or
not. I was just sick"
In the next most important race
Of the day, Jack Cooper, 81, won
the American speedboat cham
pionShip by driving his hydroplane
across the finish ahead of John
Charles Thomas, the singer who
was in his big runabout Smyne.

Weekly Sunday School Lesson - GOD PROVIDES A LEADER
Text: Exodus S:1.l2

One thinks of Paul at a later date, pleading his weakness, and of the voice that came to him: My grace is sufficient for thee, for my strength is made perfect in weak ness.
 It is this very sense of their own weakness and inadequacy that sends men capable of lead ership to the source of divine strength and help. Moses quick ly found the assurance of divine help. When he cried to God, Who am I that I should go unto Pharaoh?" there came the strong conviction of Gods presence and help.
 The voice that comes from our inner life may be as real as the voice that came from the burning bush, and all ground may become holy ground as all life becomes con- secrated to the higher purposes of love and righteousness.
