"Suppose we forget about buying ,the Scranton and Easton mills,' said Grenaker, "and limit ourselves to the Pittsburgh merger. Are you in?]' v' "Yes." Parker nodded. i Outside thte office, Buck Garrett, j hearth foreman' at the head of a TfToup of mill hands,was demanding to see Mr. Walling. Teppen, a timid : soul, interrupted- the conference. "A man named Garrett is here with a workers' committee," hfe said. "They insist upon seeing you." At the mention of Garrett, Waiting's face darkened with displeasure. ' "I'm busy," he said. "Tell ' them to get. out and stay out." , "They won't go," Teppen inter- • rupted. "A lot more are waiting in the street." "Oh, yes?" said Walling. "Well, • get the names of the committee and • fire them, Garrett- included!" "Better listen to them, Henry," captioned Parker. "Most of their grievances are legitimate." "Legitimate nothing!" snorted Walling. "Give them hard work and they behave themselves. Give them money and idleness and they drink themselves to death." , Parker shook his head. "We're the only company still working on a twelve hour day and the twentyfour long turn. Men can't stand that pace." "No mob of hunkies is .going to tell me how to run my business," Wlalling declared.

He became a trifle sardonic. "It might change your attitude if you paid a visit tot; that side of the town." "Perhaps it would," she said slow-, ly and thoughtfully. "You know--a woman hates to have a man defeat her in an argument." r "You look like a good loser," said Buck. The girl smiled. "Thanks.

Much of the .writing directed toward this end, however, fails to recognize the distinction between liberty and license for which this article "pleads, license "fails to recognize a moral imperative. A' license to operate an automobile doe& not imply a moral obligation to avoid unnecessary risks. So far as the license is concerned, I can drive 70 or 40 miles an hour, just as I please. True, jny license may be revoked, If I disobey a law, which limits my speed, but my license has nothing to do with that. Or, again, my neighbor's house may be on fire. While I am u/ider no legal obUgatiotrs~to notify •Mni-ef that fact, the very nature of the freedom of .choice implies a moral obligation to do so. Liberty implies a moral obligation to live and let live. 'License may give me the right to conduct a certain business, but liberty limits the methods and-motives which may seriously alTect the physical and economic condition of the other person. License to .do as I please, regardless of others, and liberty 'which safeguards the rights of others are two different things. Ttie latter is what we have inherited from our forefathers.
