The I. W. W. Strike
It iswio strike; it is an instance of a bunch o men quitting
their jobs. That is the best description of the alleged I. W. V
strike. The demands they were to have made on many employers
have liot been made; they apparently are (putting for no reason
other than they do not want to work any longer. If this be a fact,
the remedy is to replace them with other men as rapidly as pos
sible and let the wheels of progress continue to revolve.
All over Oregon the "strike" has proven to be no strike at all.
Those who have quite can loaf a while and then find employment
in other localities from whence they came, so, sizing up the whole
situation, theie is nothing to be alarmed about.
True vs. Fake Art
Critics of extremism in the "new art," who rate it a passing
fad, presumably have their case against it on the ground that real
art is enduring. It is impossible to think of the extravagances,
the straining after novelty for sake of novelty, the distortion that
characterize this extremism as enduring.
The. world sometimes falls victim to faddism of extreme vari
ety and at such times art may contract the malady, as it has now
done. For it is not immune. The comforting thought is that true
art has too often proved the conqueritig strengths of its resistance
