The amazing growth of Norwalk
as an industrial city cannot better
be shown than in figures published
in The Evening Sentinel today.
EBased on calculations made by
loading bankers in the city. we learn
, the weekly payroll in Norwalk
min the neighborhood of 5250.000.

remun- South Norwalk bank pays out
t§ite depositors between $70,000 and
g "0.000 each week. which is used to
: make up payrolls: another between
i 820.000 and 325.000; . and a third.
800,000. A bank in Norwalk figures
that the average weekly sum drawn
toepay employee. is between $50,000
i and 354.000; and another estimates
s clients use 325.000 each week for
purpose.
. To this total must be added a sum
i ranging from 310.000 to t15.000.sent
to Norwalk from out-of-town. to pay
men at work in factories and busi-
ness offices here.
.~ If $250,000 is considered a fair
is by rage of the amount of money
Lad to the ultimate consumer here
2 h week. that would make 313.-
“ ‘ .000 as the yearly aggregate paid
it salaries in Norwalk, which, judged
by any standard. is a tidy sum.
An interesting set of figures would
be the amount paid out in salaries in
the city. year by year. for the past
t“ years. This would clearly de-
monstrate our substantial expansion.
For those statistically inclined. if
“48.000 is taken as the. population.of
micity. it means that the average
income of every man. woman and
child here is approximately $400 a

Four hundred residents of the
town of l-lerrin are reported to have
"got religion" during a recent reviv.
al,
What sort of religion they "got"
in not stated. but if it was the re-
ligion of the Golden Rule. nothing
better could happen, to nerrin. or
any other community scourged with
the bitterness of class and industrial
war.
Let capitalists and laborers alike
judge themselves by that standard,
and better methods than fighting
will at once enter for the settlement
of industrial issues.
If both parties fight fair. they will
soon cease to fight at all.
Abstractly. everybody is for the
Golden Rule. But apply it concrete-
ly to these industrial disputes and
‘ece how it works out.
Labor regards "blacklisting" as
wrong when done by capital. There-
fore it will abolish its own “scab"
and “unfair" lists.
Capital objects to boycotts and the
“closed shop." Therefore it will it-
self quit boycotting. and will deal
cordially with the business establish-
ment that refuses to Join its trade
association.
Labor demands the right to or»
ganizc. Therefore it will deal with
employers' association. and not play
one employer against another.
Capital claims the right to choose
its own attorneys. Therefore. it will
deal with whatever representatim
labor designates. without, imposing
limitations on the field of that
choice.
And so on. Whatever we think
wrong when the other follow does it,

few weeks. have been written too
far away. across the ocean. to per.

Now that it is over, and the writer
is on the sea. new home. there may
be room for the expression of a hope
that tho driiniatic fashion in which
the show was put on will have
scrued its purpose.
it will have taught Tennessee, and

tempted to follow its example. that

the eyes of the world are on them.
and that most of the world thinks
them absurd.
It will have taught ' whole multi-
tudes more about modern thOught
than they ever know before.
it will have taught them that. no
matter how inconsistent evolution
and Christianity may appear to them
most of the Christian world thinks
otherwise.
Finally the case will come up in
the higher courts, where the legal
issue will be determined more intel~
ligently and less dramatically.
But the main gain is that this pre-
liminary discussion will have render-
ed that final decision unimportant
when it comes.
Whether a state has the legal
right to pass south laws or not. no
more states will do so. and Tennes-
see will soon repeal its law.
Such unwholesome growths cannot

WASHINGTON. Aug. 8.—Juet
what the Commerce and Labor De-
partment can do about the wage clit
in New England textile. woolen and
warned mills isn‘t very clear. What-
ever it is. however, the two depart-
ments may be depended on to do it
and do it hard.
President Coolidge is understood
to be a good deal wrought up over
the situation. When he asked the
Commerce and Labor officials to go
to the bottom of it. it was as good
as a guaranty that they’d get the
last available fact.
0
How the President will use his in-
formation. when it'e turned over to
him. remains to be seen. If it fa-
vors the employers. it will be pretty
hard to make the workers take much
stock in it.
But there‘s reason to surmise the
President hopes it will be the other
way. If so. though he may have no
means of actually forcing the em-
ployers to back track. nevertheless
he can make it somewhat uncom-
fortable for them if they don't.
Just a mere statement of his
opinion that the wage cut was un-
j‘ustified would do that. ,
O O 0
Political guessing in Washington
is to the effect that the President
probably is decidedly sore on some
big men in the textile. woolen and
worsted industries. A few weeks
ago. when a convention of them was
held here. it will be recalled that cer-
tain among them hinted at a desire
for more tariff protection and the
President intimated he didn't con-
sider it wise.
Is this wage cut their idea of the
best way to make him change his
mind? A lot of people think it
looks that way.
0 I
If the textile. woolen and worsted
folk are trying to eandbag the Presi-
dent. it requires no stretch of the
Stewart

that
imagination to assume he
doesn‘t like it.
Of course. the cut angers the
workers—not only those whom it
directly affects. but throughout
the country. President Green of
the American Federation of Labor
made that plain when he de-
nounced the reduction. as based
neither “upon reason. fairness nor
justice." .
The employers may “.9‘ care how
labor feels. but the President docs.
Labor dissatisfaction while he’s in
office reacts ‘unfavorably on his ad-
ministration.
. 0
On the theory that the textile.
woolen and worsted men really pro-
pose to make trouble for the Presi-
dent until he yielde to their demand
for a higher tariff wall, “sandbag”
isn‘t too strong a word to describe
what they're doing. it's right in the
President‘s own particular little
bailiwick of New England. too.
which makes it all Hi" nervier.
O e e e
One of the ironies of the situation
is that President Coolidge'e close
personal and political friend. William
M. Butler. Massachusetts Senator
and Republican National Committee
chairmen. who is severely aideewip-
ed by it. is himself a textile man.
0 O 0
Butler must run for the Senate
again next fail. He has a hard fight
on his hands at best. It won't help
him a bit to have his mills included
among those which cut their em-
ployee' pay.
And it would be mighty disagree-
able for both Butler and Coolidge.
and for the Republican party. too. if
the latter's national chairman should
be beaten for the Senate in the Pres-
ident‘s homo State.
Maybe the textile. woolen and wor.
sted people thought of this. Butler
certainly did. He opposed the wage
cut. but interests allied with him
voted him down and he made it most
reluctantly.
The Last Frontier

Scarlet fever has been conquered.
Today's most important piece of
news from the frontier of science is
particularly good news.
Medical men now regard the work
of Dr. George F. and Gladys K. Dick
as representing a triumph over scar-
let fever. ' .
Those two doctors evolved the so-
called Dick test for susceptibility to
scarlet fever.
This consists of the preparation of
a. toxin from‘acariet fever bacteria
planted in sterile broth.
An injection of this toxin "reveai
the susceptibility of a person to
scarlet fever. No reaction shows
that he is immune. But if the injec-
tion is followed by the development
of a small red spot it shows that
the person might take scarlet fever
if exposed to it. -
New further study has raealed
the case that greater infection of
the toxin will render immune W-
eone who were originally mu.
ble.
This immunity lute for about it
months. '
A third impartent step has been
taken in the development of a so-
called antitoxin. developed after the
fashion of diphtheria antitoxin.
which can be used successfully in
fighting actual cases of scarlet fev.

Mountain cheinl are the results of

This is the theory advanced by
Professor Reginald A. Daly. geolo-
gist of Harvard unlevrsity. .
Professor-Debt believes that the
rocks comprising the earth's eur~
face rest upon a layer of what he
calls basaltic glass with a tempera-
ture of about 1000 degrees. Fahren-

He believes that it is po-ible for
the upper layers of rock under eer-

crumpled up into great ridges. re-
