Schwab, 1 talking at State College of a discus sion he had with President Harding en the evp of the Unemployment Conference, "that nothing would come of It because It wouldn't get down te fundamentals." The t'nempleyment Conference didn't get down te fundamentals. Few people de. i The conference get nearer te fundamentals than any one hud get before It In the search ier the onuses of involuntary idleness. Mr. Schwab Is en geed ground hi urging tiie need for a getting down through the 1 legs of discussion and delusion te the heart I and foundation of the industrial troubles of I the time. If we were te de that It would ! be necessary te stand a large part of the ' 1 opulatlen up for indictment under charges or vain, wasteful, negligent and costly habit. The sins of the hour are net peculiar te any one class, te the emplejer or the cm cm pleyed. Industry slackened beceuse for an interval It couldn't be made te return the usual profits te labor and te the owners. Neither group has been willing te make the temporary saerllices bv which industrial equilibrium may be restored. Each wants the ether te take the initiative. And there seems te be no way of getting them te as sume equal shares of the burden.

' I - PHlLADELJfHlA, WATUliDAfc, UUTOJ-M ID, STORIES ABOUT KNOX He Was One of a Remarkably Suc cessful Greup of Pittsburgh Men. One of His First Fees Ivy Lee Talks About Europe By GKOKGE NOX McCAIN PHILANDHR CHASH KNOX all his life had the reputation of being n cold, distant man. Net the frigidity of egotism j rather. I think, an Inherited mannerism that disappeared as one knew him better. I first knew him shortly 'after he hed formed his law paitnershlp with .fames II. Reed, new Judge Reed, of Pittsburgh. He was what was known as a 1 "keen" lawyer; one of these men with nn exceed ingly nctlvc mind and rcmnrknble powers of analysis. The firm prospered from the start. It specialised In corporation practice. A. W. Mellen, II. C. Frlck, Walter Fergusen, "Phil" Knox, "Jim" Reed, Geerge and Hnrry Oliver, nil men who became noted for their wealth or business ability In Pittsburgh In later years, belonged te the same group. "Andy" Mellen Is new Secretary of the Treasury: H. C. Frlck "Teft a fortune of $llt,0fl0,0u0, and a wonderful art collec tion that he gaie te the City of New Yerk. Geerge T. Oliver succeeded "Phil" Knox in the I'nited States Senate. Harry Oliver, himself once candidate for the United States Senate, died many times a millionaire, while Walter Fergusen made a vast fortune with II. C. Frlck In the coke, business. TIIURK i n legal story that Is alraeit a classic that was first told a generation age in which P. C. Knox figured as the principal. One of the shining lightn of the Pittsburgh bar is Judge Jeslnh Cehen. In the early days of their professional life neither Cehen nor Knox had any tee much of the world's goods, though eager te ac quire mere. It happened that both young men had been engaged In some research work for one of Pittsburgh's early Iren firms. At the end of the task Cehen appeared hi Knox's office te talk about their fee and prepare a bill. "My idea is that about $.r0 aplcce would be a pretty geed fee." said Cehen. Kne regarded him for an Instant and then replied. "New. Jet-iah, you leave that te me." Seme weeks after Knet sent for Cehen and handed him a cheek for J?li"00. It was his share of the bill rendered by Knox. Cehen eved it in blank surprise. The amount, and the nerve of his associate, fairly appalled him. Finally he said, with a grin: "Phil, alme-t thou persuadest rac te be a Christian." QhNAIuii k.NOA was boleu medium sJ stature. ire. lie was net nlwavs 11s rntutwl as lie appeared in his later years. Particularly was he correct and fastidious in the matter of dress. I think lie was a bit vain, with that par donable vanity that comes te a man who has reached the heights and surveys the crags he has overcome. When Mclvinley appointed him his Attor ney General in April, IfKll, I went out ahead of the public announcement te see him in Pittsburgh te get some Intimate data of his life for the press. He was absent from home, but from his associates and old friends I get rnv bterv. Months afterward I called en lilm In" the Attorney General's office in Washington. I had net been seated an instant before he said, with an assumption of serieusness: "See here, young man, it's all right for J mi te come and sec me at my, office, but you 1-id better stuy away from my house. Don't let Mrs. Knox see yen after what you wrote about me." I tried te recall any serious break in mv story. He centinued: "Yeu said in that sketch uheut me that I 'wasn't by any means a handsome man, though he l intellectual and a line lawyer.' "Don't you knew that a woman don't care hew geed a lawyer her husband is If he's only handsome? And my wife thinks I'm handsome. bles.- her heart " Wxi' IIKN occasion demanded Senater Knox sary under any circumstances. These who were prevent In the cafe of the Windser Hetel about twenty years age bore testimony te that fact. The Windser in these days was the fash-jenabl'-, and mere or less exclusive, hotel in Atlantic City. Jasen Waters wns manager and proprietor. Senater Knox, then Attorney General, with a party of ladies ami gentlemen, was havlnt lunch in an alcove off the "boat "beat room" when some gueit made a slighting nllusien te the party. It was, I belie-e, te-th" effect that be cause some people were high Government efliclnls they could make all the neise they wanted. Attorney General Knox heard it. He quickly dismissed his guests nnd then ap proach! the offender. He told him he was a Government official, but the fact didn't prevent him from administering punishment when needed. Wbvreupen he proceeded te land a couple en the map of the objector. The event"wns the sensation of the hour. It came te be known as the "Cambric Tea" episode, because the victim declared that Attorney General Knox hadn't been drink ing cumbrlc tea from the punch he had. H.V FRICK was the man who mmin C.

He knew that Knox would, if made At torney General, ,give the corporations at least a fair show, which some ether able attorneys might net de. Knox was intrinsically sound nnd had a keen sense of Justice, no matter what in terests were involved. II. C. Prick and his associates had been larse contributors fe the previous presiden tial campaign. They had asked no favors in appointments In return. They therefore prerented the name of the ablest corporation lawyer in the ceuntrv for the position. And he received the appoint ment.

BRAUN On American Art AMHUICAN art has produced and is pre ducing paintings which in coming years will be regarded by critics as masterpieces, the same ns these produced in past cen turies by Kurepean old masters, according te Jehn F. Rraun', president of the Art Alliance. "Taste for American paintings has in creased among he buying public tremen dously during the Inst ten years," Mr. Rraun says. "Hundreds of American col lectors are buying nothing but American paintings. Many arc weeding out examples of foreign art, particularly thes? of second and third rate Dutch and French painters. Constant Study Required "Collecting requires study the same as nny ether subject. When I mude my deci sion the litst thought was what te collect. Many advised me that the Old Musters were the most hnpertntnt nnd the most beautiful. After considering for some time I decided te confine rnvself entirely te American works. "Study convinced me that during the last hundred years works of art have been produced thnt are masterpieces, irrespective of win, painted them. As far (is my own collecting Is concerned.

It is net hard te see, then, that people buying Old Masters are taking a Jeng chance at nil times. "It is probably true many buy Old Mas ters simply becnii'c it is n fnd. Men of means desire te have the vcrv best. This hi a measure may be responsible for the fad. And this desire is played upon by both honest and unscrupulous dealers. "Somebody has remarked, 'I have a Ce ret, thou hast a Coret, he has a Coret.' And se we have many C'orets. Somebody else estimated there are mere C'orets in the I'nited States than ihe man himself ever painted In his long life. "Of course, there are many authenticated paintings in this country. There are ways of authenticating, although every one does net take the trouble te go through them. Value, Is Increasing "Frem a financial point American nrt has increased in value from 100 te 1000 per cent during the last ten years, ns the public begins te appreciate what has been done and hew ;he work stauds up in comparison with Old Masters. "My personal opinion Is, if a man buys examples of the great American painters at proper prices he has something which ap peals te him as American art and he also lias a goeil investment. "Many stories might be told of people who have bought with judgment nnd sold at large profits and In addition bad a posses sion which brought them satisfaction every day.
