...appears that the perfect existence is one in which nobody is required to walk. Many persons like to look into the future and prepare out minds for the wonders that we shall see if we live long enough. We have never observed a prophecy of that kind that did not describe the happy circumstance of movable sidewalks to relieve the human legs of virtually all exertion. The seer of the movement is the fire chief in New York city. He foresees a city in which streets will be free from vehicular traffic, such streets as there are being devoted exclusively...
...Edwards and Walker, the visitors have excellent pitchers who may give the Crimson trouble this afternoon. The former struck out 12 batters, did not issue a walk, and allowed but five hits in the New Haven game. The latter was at his best against Colby when he fanned ten and allowd but five hits.

They were attracted, just as a magnet attracts. Just as the iron filings flow to the magnetic lines, so the people swarmed along the new line of travel--along the first horse-car line. What was the result? Congestion...

The second point noted from last year's speech is vitiated by the admission that the central unions have no control over the actions of the local labor organizations or their members in regard to walk-outs. When men refuse to obey the commands of their leaders or to accept the offerings of the employer, there seems no way left to offer justice to either side or preserve the advantages of collective bargaining...
