LITEURATURE RESURGENT IN
SPAIN.
Spain, which up to the twentieth
century had produced only ono au
thor of note, seems to have entered
upon a new era ln its literary life ln
the novels of Vicente Blasco Ibanes.
It was not the mere timeliness of
"The Four Horsemen of the Apoca
lypse" which caused It to be the most
talkeoof book of its year, 'xhe tact
that the four horsemen were riding
rougsVshod over Europe at the time
the book came out, gave a peculiar
Interest to its reading, but there is ln
all of Ibanez' novels tne quality that
endures.
Ibanez paints a Spain which has all
the woakneaBes and faults which we
aassociate with the Spain of former
years; the Spaniard's ignorance, his
credulity, his cruelty, are all there,
but he shows us also the elements
which make a new Spain for tomor
row.
There Is something dynamic about
the novels of Vicente Blasco Ibanez.
They seem an expression of his own
personality. His style has the care
fulness of phrasing and the fintsti of
the true artist, sure of his tools, yet
the predominant Impression which
the reader carries away with him
from the perusal of an Ibanez novel
Is one of power. Ibanez has chosen
to use this power to strike blows at
certain evils In church and state. In
Blood and Sand," Juan Galardo ad
mlrably represents the Spain which
finds Its chief recreation in bull
fighting, yet Gallardo loses nothing
of reality from his protagonisin.
A feeling of national consciousness
runs through all Ibanez' writings, no
one but a Spaniard could portray
Spain so relentlessly, yet at the same
time he Is never provincial. His nov
ola have a universal appeal, because
they deal with things that endure.
And Ibanez la only one or the group
of moderns who have been creating
Spanish literature. Goldos and Lose
Echegaray have in the dramatic
realm achieved equally with Ibanez
in prose.
Those were extravagant terms with
which Postmaster-General iJuncson
described his department
' A striking example of the penalty

and killed.
The Crawley boys were finally run
down after several weeks chase

and North Carolina. In a recent trial
three boys, George, Decatur and
Bland Crawley, and their sister, Rosa
Crawley, were convicted of murder,
the first two being sentenced, to

THE STEEL STRIKE

big strlKe looks like to an outsider, to
a countryman from tha west. And this
will be his story.
The reader must know that there
are two distinct steel strikes going;
one in the Pittsburg district and the
one in the Chicago district. In the
Chicago district the men have the
right of free assemblage and free
speech. They cannot use the public
parks, but they use vacant lota and
sometimes gather at street corners, and
so long as riots do not start free meet
ings ln the west are not stopped.
But ln the Pittsburgh distriet meet
ings are not allowed; and free speech
has been abrogated. Hence ln the
main the strike In the east Is more
eventful than in the west. Disturb4
ances have occurred in Gary. Of course,
the strikers claim that the disturbances
were caused by the owners ln order
to get the soldiers and thus provoke
more trouble.
But the soldiers came and there was
no more trouble for a time. In most
of the Chicago district for .the first
two weeks of the strike's duration it
was dull. Day by day groups of men
wearing their Sunday clothes, . with
their new silk shirts consDlcuouslv
flaunted in the face of cringing capital j
the workmen paced the streets. Ud I
ana aown tne siaewaiKs they went 1
out to the ball game in the afternoon,
into headquarters of the strikers, out
on the sidewalk and home for supper.
Saloons Empty.
At the doors jot the mills were pick
ets. But they had little to do. The
workers ln the mills were kept Insldo
the mills. New workers rarely went
in. The policemen, mounted or un
mounted, stood about chatting with
the pickets.
I heard an animated discussion be
tween an Irish policeman and a strike
picket at the door of the Illinois steel
industry to prevent strikes. And the
striker was against It. Children play
about the streets unmolested. Women
go about their tasks.
The saloons are practically empty.
There is nothing In the saloons to
tempt a worker. The barkeeper stands
with his hands folded under his apron
in tne trout door, lonesome as a dog.
"Come on In, Mrs. Kowalski," says
he to the lady dragging a child tri
angularly along the sidewalk.
"Whnt you mean come in, Mike?
You ain't got nothing with no kick
in it?"
So the striker saves his money, puts
it ln the bank and the strike will drag
on that much longer. And more be
cause the saloons are closed, as well
as saving his money the striker. Is
saving his head. A little liquor would
liven up the strike, incite riot and' pro
duce an early decision probably ad
verse to the strikers.
Inside the strike headquarters In
every town one finds a typical scene.
A long store room, generally on the
ground floor. Around the side of the
room are tables. At each table Is a
man with a card Index , box and a
punch.
From time to time probably one
man every three minutes. comes a
striker with a card. He holds it out;
it is punched by the man at the table
like a meal ticket. The man goes
away. The man at the table checks
off that striker in his card index. And
the strike committee knows he is still
out. Kach man at tfacli table repre
sents a different trades union one a
puddler, another an electrician, another
a stoker, tin engineer, a common la
borer and so on along the line.
When a man conn's Into the head
quarters room he stands about gossip
ing with his fellow workers rather ,
listlessly.
No Pinion Exhlbted.
Nowhere is there anv tiassn ad
hibited. ' ;
Sometimes an untoward Incident
rouses a momentary lire, but gener
ally for the first two or three weeks of
the strike it was unbelievably dull. The
crowd In headquarters was generally
American. This I am sure about.
Their names may be foreign, but they
are second generation foreigners and
they have for the most part that In
dependent swagger which is the char
acteristic American gait, and which
more than the face or the brogue
marks an American. :
The crowd Is well dressed; the
younger men have the new .hn.t.
waisted blouse-cut coats that revive
any other
crowd In any other part of tha country.
And here's another American thins.
The strikers complain that the bosses
are trying to pick men out of the
strike on the telephone.

happen ln no other country in the
world. It Is an American situation,
and it gives a He to the story that
these strikers are Ignorant foreigners,
ignorant lorelgners don't buy cars
ana use the telephone. Machinery In
life is an American characteristic, and
if these people were sending their
money back to Kurope with the ex
pectatlon of going back themselves
soon, they would not be uslntr tele
phones and buying rebuilt Packards. Of
course only the skilled men live ln this
state and style. But whoever they are
in the west they are strikers, and the
company claims the skilled men are
not out. Some of them are not, but
probably most of them are striking.
In the west, at least around Chicago,
probably 90 per cent, of the skilled
men are out and possibly 60 per cent,
of the unskilled men are ln the works.
But even with 90 per cent, of the total
number employed, the company could
not make steel if 10 per cent of the
skilled men were out.
In the west they are not making
steel, at least not much. In the east

that .unless things- change, unless
something happens from the outside

SIsqs,. Nek Attack.
For It seems now ths.t the strike will
be without crisis. That it will be
siege, not an attack, and this is' ths
kind of a strike" that ths company
wants.' It can well afford to let ths
cobwebs grow in the flues and the
mice play in the kettles. For the great

They believe "In fairness; they feel
that some outside force will help them.
that they will have succor from tns
government or from events of' the
passing year, or that a sympathetic
strike will tie up American Industry
in behalf of the steel workers.
So at least new in mia-ucioDer tne
strikers have not lost tneir courage.
They still expect to win.' They are
till looking for the ravens to come
and feed them during the winter. And
through It all they are keeping sweet!
A few broken heads, a dozen broken
hearts and a score of broken homes
have not discouraged the strikers nor
changed their high faith ln their cause.
Bored Into Surrender?
Hence, the orderly conduct of the
strke. The owners say the fools are
still drunk with their folly. Perhaps so,
but they are having a miserable time.
for they are bored to the core of their
souls. ' A ' wise psychologist among
them would start something free pie

in every center. The need of a i. M. U.

the V. M. C. A. could come nearer

the "wrecking ciew." The need to
keep the men ln line Is for diversion
rather than bloodshed. They may be
bored Into surrender.
The best economio -nope oi tne
strikers Is found In the fact that
America has ho great reservoir of un
employed. Probably the steel industry
Is over manned. And likely the steel
mill owners welcome the strike because
the industry Is somewhat over manned.
But It two or three hundred thousand
of their men leave, the Industry is
badly under manned and It cannot
be replenished. Moreover, if even 10 j
per cent, or 6 per cent, of the sfen
properly chosen stay out leaving the
mills without electricians, for Instance,
there is hope for the strike. But that
Is sm lrrideseent dream.
