AN ATTEMPT TO COMBINE SOCIAL OIL AND WATER The Chicago Gathering of Radicals This Week Has a Big Task Ahead of It FTtHE failure of an nttempt In 1020 te J- bring nbeut n political working agree ment ninetig the farm organizations, the Socialists, the Communists nnd the labor groups has net discouraged the men who mnde It. The nttempt Is te be renewed this year, with n view te action In the congressional election". A let of radical, near-radicals and liberals arc te meet in Chicago this week te sec If they can find n common pint form. The meeting seems te be In charge of William II. JohiiRten, president of the International Association of Machinists. This, is one of the most radical of the labor unions. Jehn L. Lewis, president of the Interna tional Mine Workers, has ngrecd te be pres ent, and se has W. S. Stene, of the Broth erhood of Locomotive Engineers, and V. S. Carter, of the locomotive firemen's broth erhood. James II. Maurcr, president of the Penusyhnnln Federation of Lnber, will be there, and se will Frederick C. Howe, former Immigration Commissioner tit New Yerk, and Merris Illllquit, both Socialists. Glenn Plumb, the inventor of the Plumb Tlan te give the railroads te the men who run them, has nlse accepted nn Invitation; and officers of the Nen -Partisan League and of various farmers' organizations and of numerous radical religious societies nre en the list of delegates, along with Ames Pinchot, of New Yerk, nnd the Itev. Dr. S. Zane Hatten, of this city. The only thing in common which these nnd the ether delegates have Is a feeling of dissatisfaction with existing conditions, and n, belief thnt they can be improved by legis lative nctien. Seme of them are firmly con vinccd that If the lnw which they odvecato Is passed all discontent and nil Injustice will disappear and everything will be as merry ns a marriage bell. Of course, they are mistaken. There is no panacea, and the man who thinks there Is writes himself down at once as n member of the intellectual kindergarten class. Ne program for the meeting has been published, but if a 6hert list of definite prepositions should be made nnd If a man with the intellectual clarity nnd the diplo matic tact and the driving force of Secre tary Hughes should be put In charge of the gathering something might be done that would be as noteworthy as the accomplish ments of the 'Washington Conference. Hut the task of persundlng the diverse groups te agree en anything save en their common discontent will be much mero dif ficult than that which confronted Secretary Hughes. The farmer!-- have their grievances and they arise in part from the demands of the members of the lnber unions. The labor unions contain Socialists, but some of thorn arc opposed te every form of so cialism. The radical religious, groups seek te app.y a specific formula te contemperar; ills, but the formula is one which does net commend itself te the labor groups or te nil the Socialist groups. And the Com munists have nothing in common with the farmers or with the conservative labor unions. The Chicago gathering may net agree en any definite program, but these who attend it will learn hew near together they nre or hew far apart. And the rest of the country will bine the benefit of this knowledge. It is desirable that we should knew hew strong the radical meement Is and in what direc tion it is headed. Then it can be met In such ways as seem geed. If the labor unions nnd the Socialists bnck the demand of the radical farmers; for a Government price guarantee of farm crops, a situation will be created which will demand the serious consideration of the rest of the country. There aie farm lead ers who wish the Government te protect the farmers against less in the business. They insist that the farmer deserves special consideration and special treatment. The labor unions held similar views about their members. They and the farmers wish te be exempt lrmn the regulations that gor ger ern men in ether forms of buslr.es-,. If an nlllanc" between the radical farmers and the radical labor n.en can be negotiated the ret of us will bine te bestir eursehes. Sen's ter Kenyen introduced a bill in Con gress the ether day te give the members of the farmers' bloc an opportunity te show hew far they weu'd go te the relief of labor. This Chicago gathering will afford another opportunity te the farmers' organizations and the labor oiganlzatiens te show a ills pMsitiiin te co-eperato if such n disposition exist. They have coalesced In the pat about as 6'ii.ccjsfully as oil and water. AN APOSTLE OF CHAOS HA li Alexander Ilewat, btermy petrel of the L'n'ted Mine Workers of America, been successful In his attempt te stamnede tin. Indianapolis convention against Jehn L. Lewis, president of the miners' federa tion, the country might have looked for something mere than an nnthr.iclte trike en April I. The result would have been chues In the coal industry and a nearer approach te practical belshevlsm in the United States than anything recorded in the days when belnhcvism wni the favorite fear and the constant obsesblen of Attorney Gen eral Palmer. Hewat Is the man who rebelled simul taneously against the authority of the United Mine Workers and the Industrial Court in Kansas, where he was president of the State Federation of Mine Workers. Fer that he was scut te serve n Jail term and turned out of the Federation of Laber. Prrsldent Lewis signed the order for his dismissal. Hewat han returned from prison te be an Insistent velte of the rndicals of the miners' organizations, nnd It is Interesting te oh eh serve tuat but for the sentimental attach ment of one dlHtrlct delegation for Mr, Lewis the "rebel forces" might have ob tained control of the national organization, Hewat nnd net Lewis might be dictating the policies of the coal worker In the pics ent emergency. Mr, Lewis held his place only bceiuK the miners' leaders from the inlluentini WUkeS'Barre and Bcranten districts re- fused te act with the Insurgents from re gions further south In this State. The nar rowness of his escape shows clearly the drift of feeling nnd sentiment amene mine work ers, who arc asked te accept further reduce , (ions in a wnge scale which Is new far irem adequate In the widening areas where mines operate en part time when they operate at all. Lewlj is te the United Mine Workers whet Gempcrs is te the Federation of Laber a shrewd conservative who has learned thnt what you de In haste you may repent at leisure. Hewat Is nn npestle of direct nctien, n leader who has been telling the miners that they can hope for nothing that they arc net willing te fight for. "New," said Mr. .Hewat after be ad mitted his defeat by n narrow margin, "I guess I'll have te go te Russia!" Hut he will net go te llussln. He knows better than te go where the life of no agitator against the accepted enler Is safe and where even n hlsper of his sort of free speech would open the Jnti doers ter him. He will go, instead, back into the miners' federation and wait for another opportunity. Hut his amazing and uuexpected display of power nt Indlannpells ought te be n mntter of Interest nnd concern te all people who soe the coal Interest drifting te chaos without knowing what is wren or what te de nbeut It, Idleness and want nre almost universal In the anthracite nnd bituminous fields. Thnt fs because of the high costs of coal, the refusal of the public te buy coal nnd the lirmense reserve supplies held In storage by preduccrs and distributors. There will be either an nnthracltc strike or n suspension of all operations early In April. The tem per of the mlne workers will net be Im proved thereby. Certainly their condition will net be improved. And Hewnt, knowing this, will stay around nnd wait for time nnd the felly of the coal profiteers te give him the little added power necessary te convert a ma jority In the rnlted Mlne Workers te his way of thinking nnd his policy of action. Mr. Levis may be able te held his place at the next miners' convention. And he may net. OUT AT LAST A MORE sensitive man than Judge Landls would hnvc resigned from the Federal bench ns toen ns he accepted the pest of baseball arbiter. Such n mnn would have perceived the impropriety of sitting en the bench nnd drawing a large salary for out side work. Newspaper criticism left him unmoved, and he did net teem te be disturbed by the condemnatory resolutions adopted by the American Har Association Inst summer. Se far as appears, the reason that has led te his resignation nt this time is his discovery that his baseball job takes se much of his time that he has none left te give te his judicial duties. Se he thrown up the job that pays him ;7e00 a year nnd retains the one thnt nays him $30,000. If he had done this .n the first place he would have escaped all the unplensnnt no toriety thnt bus come te him. Hut this docs net seem te have displeased him, for he has been a notoriety seeker for enre. rt. ,.-. ...

AS ONE WOMAN 8EE9 IT Werk Dene by the Traveler' Aid 8eclety, With Seme Little Side- lights en the Stranger In Town en Sunday Uy SARAH D. LOWBIE I AM always making vows that I will net go te another public luncheon or dinner te hear speeches about n cause spelled with a big C, and then for some weak personal reason I am beguiled and find myself seated facing another broiled chicken. . (Where de they all come from, these chickens? I knew where they go te. "I done had 'spcrlcncc.") At a public luncheon everything depends en the person you Bit next te the cause is really secondary. In one week I succumbed te three banquets, and It se hnppencd that at one of them both my neighbors nt table and the cause made the affair most reward ing. My neighbors belonged te the Society of Friends, nnd the cause was the Travelers' Aid Society. A geed many years age I was nt th organization meeting of the Travelers' Aid In this city, nnd a great and geed friend of nil needy travelers and n geed traveler her Hclf, Mrs. William Shaw Stewart, presided nt that meeting nnd was Instrumental In bringing the whole idea before the responsi ble peeple of the town. She has been dead n geed many jeare new and a new Heard of Directors has arisen, but for me the Travel ers' Aid still means Mrs. Stewart, se I was doubly glad te go and bear all about its progress. We were only asked te listen ; the society is en the Federation list, and our time for' giving was net then or there. My feeling Is, however, thnt it Is doing a great work for all of us, nud If It needs our support it should have it. SOMETIMES when T am coming back t Philadelphia from n journey nnd the train gees en nnd en through miles nnd mi'es of strcits nnd I leek ncress the reefs of thousands and thousands of houses, I say te mjsclf. "Hew Is It possible that In nny place se big nnd crowded there Is n house which my key fits nnd n room made ready ter my coming nnd people who will actually knew thnt I hnvc come home I Twe million people! And yet I still belong there and have a place of my own." It Is n very wonderful feeling. And the reverse of It is n very strange feeling, nnd under some circumstances n frightened nnd quite terrible feeling. The Travelers' Aid Society has been founded nnd is working te take nwny the fright nnd terror nnd te glve the persons who stand in need of a welcome nnd a sense of protection while they nre within our borders both welcome nnd pro tection. Se far as It is humanly possible it de livers these who appeal te it and these who arc put in its core unci these whom It can seen out nnu unci irem evil. r.lghty thousand travelers pass through the Hread Street Station during a day. One hundred nnd seventy-five thousand pass through the New Yerk Terminal. Among these there nre children ns young as eight and adults ns old us 100 who travel ulenc. Last j ear, during the New Yerk strikes, many ship, decked here mid I'.OOO linml giants pusaed through our pert, f peaking twenty-six foreign tongues.

Miss Murray, the bend of the New Yerk City Hureau, recounted two travelers' talcs that had been reported te her within twenty-four hours. One was concerning an aged pll grim who gave his nge ns la'l nnd his des tination ns Ireland. He had eemc from Lincoln, Neb., nnd wns minded te turn nbeut nnd go home because, as he remarked, lifter nil there would be few who would re member him or care nbeut bis coming te Ireland, eiuce be had been gene just ninety bix years. It wns while he was debating this new thought with the Travelers' Aid ngent in the Pennsylvania Station thnt he divulged te her tiint he was stuffed with money from his beets up. He was taken te u bank and $1200 was found nbeut his person, changed into drafts, nnd his tickets bought nnd ar rangements niRde for his return te Lincoln nnd a welcome and safe home provided for him. If he had get out of the btatlen nnd Inte the New Yerk streets alone nnd garrulous, ;ct suspicious, It Is hard te say what would have been bis futc. The society's agent nt the Grand Cen tral Station had been wanted that brune day of the arrival of two tiavelcrs from Maine going Seuth te their grandmother in Seuth Carolina. They were easily recognizable, for they were tugged. Tliej were also twins and ns nlike ns two coconuts. Their tinmcs were Teddy Roosevelt Robinson nnd King Solemon Robinson, and tbnu vvere sent en their way lcjelcing. OF COURSE, hundreds of children, boys going te the Klendike or te the West trapping, and little girls coming te town te leek nbeut, arc quietly rounded up bv the station officials and handed ever te the so ciety nnd eventually sent home or held until their patents cm reach town. Of course, hundred1 of runaway girls nnd eloping jeung women and escaping old women drift forlornly into the spread nets of the organi zation nnd nre sent back or sent en or taken carq of ns their cases warinnt.

Talks With Thinking Philadelphia en Subjects They Kneiv Best Daily DR. EMERY R. JOHNSON On Scholastic Business Training MODERN commercial education Is new universally accepted ns a requisite for the highest possible development of business ability, says Dr. Emery It. Jehnsen, elenn of the Wharten Scheel of the University of Pennsylvania. "Commercial education of tedny," said Dr. Jehnsen, "Is along two independent lines of development. There is nn Increasing number of studies for these who desire the four -years' training preparatory te their business education, nnd this Includes the standard basic college branches, such as English, some of the modern foreign lan guages, history, economics nnd government nnd these courses which develop clenrly and fullv the principles which apply te busi ness in general nnd te that particular field of business in which the student Is inter ested. . . . The Second Line "The second line of development has naturally been toward a mera definite spe cialization both in the method nnd the con tent of the courses tnught. Celleglnte schools of business nt the present time are going through the period thut the schools of engineering nnd of the applied sciences went through a deende or mere age. Naturally the student elects that one of the two lines of business development which seems te give him the especial training that he will re quire for his future work. "The -500 students in the Wharten Scheel constitute n body sufficiently large te indicate definitely the trend nnd the prin ciples of study In collegiate training for business. "After the completion of the work of the first year, where the eeur.-e of study is the same for nil of the students, each young mnn Is required te designate the group or the general subjects In which be wishes te spe cialize. About one-half of the student body elect te tuke the 'general group,' which is organized with the specific view of giving instruction In the principles nnd the funda mentals of the main lines of business. These Irclude finance nnd bnnkiug, foreign trade, transoertntlon, etc "The ether half of the student body di vides itself ntneng the several specialized groups which the members wish te study in detail, such ns accounting, brokerage, bank ing nnd finance, transportation, commerce, foreign trade, insurance, merchandising and real estate. Special Groups Encouraged "The student is encouraged te enroll at the close of his freshman jcar in the spe cialized group which will give him the studies In the subjects which have the great est and most important bearing en the par ticular line of business which he intends te cuter. Year by year the work in the tevernl groups is becoming moie specialised nnd technical, nnd this policy is pursued in order te develop an Institution wherein the student may obtain, along with his general college training, n course which will pre pare hlra ns definitely nnd ns completely us possible for his vocation In life. "Expciience has clearly shown that the college student has three definite needs.
