There are no

loved to be ahead of ones time. But
eve:'y one can get as much into the
time as possible, some more than
others
Peggy was two years old. 1t vas
just as much of an event in the fam
lily as though no one else had ever
been two years old. That made il so
nice. Yet Peggy's brother had been
two years old right in their very own
family. He was almost ten now.
But Peggy was two. And every one
in the house was shouting about 1t.
There was Becky, who was busy In
the kitchen talking to herself now.
Becky didn't talk much in the very
early morning. If you spoke to her
she mumbled. And her mouth looked
funny, too. 1t went in and looked
queer and her lips looked thin and
rather long and were pressed tightly
together.
"YOu mustn't ask her why she
doesn't talk to you when she first gets
up" Peggy's mother had said. "She's
sensitive about her teeth"
Peggy puzzled over that. Why was
Becky sensitive about her teeth at
one hour and not at another? Sen
sitive, it seemed. meant the same as
being hurt in a PERSONS feelings.
Now Becky was talking.
''Bless her darlin' little heart, Just
guess 1 will make her a cake"
Peggy knew she wasn't supposed to
hear this, and vet she was sent from
one room to anOther-all because 1t
was her birthday. Oh, but she liked
being sent from one room to another.
1t was exciting. They sent her away
in such an interesting way.
Even Deborah was too busy to talk
to her. Deborah was very seldom as
busy as that. Deborah used to take
her walking in the afternoon. How
she loved taking hold of DebOrah's
hand and going down to the great
wharves and watching the boats. and
the nice, round island right out in the
water
Peggy talked to herself and to Gyp,
the little stuffed dog which had be-
longed to Peggy's brother. Peggy could
talk now. She had been saying more
and more words every day. But when
she wanted to have a really good time
she talked language all her own. 1t
was just right for play-talk. No one
could understand her except grandma,
and grandma was very wise.
The others would say What is
the child saying?"
Then Peggy would use real words.
But grandma would say:
"That's all perfectly good play-talk
and Peggy and Gyp understand it
and I believe do too
Grandma really did know more than
anyOne-even more than her mother
and her daddy and her brother.
Her brother came rushing toward
her now. He was dressed in funny
old clothes, with big hat which came
down over his head. He carried
brass bell which looked like man no
matter which way YOU held it. The
man had no back. If you turned the
bell around it was the same man fac
ing you at the back as it was the
other way.
Her brother rang the bell. Then
the others came along, all dressed up,

Her brother whispered to her that
Natal Day meant the same as birth
day. She sat in big chair before the
birthday table now with ribbons and
flowers about it, and about her place
were ribbons and flowers.
In the center of all was a cake with
two candles burning so gayly. And
such presents!
Best Of all was big cloth cat which
sat up very straight, and he made
friends with Gyp at once. That was
lucky.

NEW YORK, Dec. 19 (P)-The posi- tion of steel, the most widely consult ed barometer of American business in- activity will be maintained at record dicates today that general business 1 breaking level we'll into 1926. Steel production in the Pittsburgh district which has averaged around 80 per cent of capacity has increased this week
 The Carnegie Steel Company has topped v per cent. Jones and Laugh lin, leading independents, are running at S5. Production of sheet mills in that district as approaching S5 per cent. The plate mills are operating at 80 to S5 and wire and pipe plants are we'll above 70 per cent.
 Prices in nearly all lines are firm. Rlvets have advanced $2 per ton, and cold rolled strips S3 a ton at Pitts burgh. The high price of tin which is lowering around the high water mark for the year has caused consid- erable talk of higher tin plate prices but best judges assert the S5.5O fig ure is likely to remain unchanged The bright prospects of the canning in- dustry are indicated by the fact that the orders placed by leading can com panies with producers of tin plate show they expect to do even larger business than in 1925.
 The American Sheet and Tin Plate company is already assured of prac- tically capacity operation for the first half of 1926. The railroads are pre- pairing to handle record volume of freight. Agriculture is strong steel farm equipment being sold with in- creasing liberality.

SILK WORKERS ON
STRIKE ACAlNS
SPEED-UP SYSTEM
Build Mill Committees
to Unity Struggle
BY ALBERT wEIsBoRp.

PATERSON, N. j., Oct. 2S.-About
800 workers employed in the Hillcrest
Silk Co. plant in West New York, N.
]. haEe gone out on strike. The work
ers used to work two looms for GER
tain rate. Now they will be forced to
work three and four looms at much
lower rate with the result that they
will be really forced not only to work
twice as hard but even after their
harder work will have less money in
their pay envelope to show for it.
A committee Of the workers went
to see the boss yesterday, Friday,
but the boss said there was nothing to
change, nothing to negotiate about,
Before that the company official tried
to fire one of the most active and
spirited of the workers, fellow work
er Martin. A discussion ensued at
the end Of which all the workers in
the place walked out.
Call Out All Workers.
The central bureau of the United
Front Committees of Textile Workers
in the person of its secretary, Albert
Weisbord Immediately took charge
of the situation. A strike vote was
taken Friday evening and with great
enthusiasm it was unanimously de-
cided to strike the plant until the COM
pany gives in.
All of the workers in the plant will
be called out whether they belong to
any union or not and real united
front presented to the bosses. One
of the demands of the workers will be
now that the boss recognize their
committee permanently. A mill work
ers' organization will be effected and
the organization linked up with the
United Front Committee of Textile
Workers.
Unity Based on Mill Committees.
The United Front Committee of Tex
tile Workers is an organization that
has for its purpose the amalgamation
Of all unions in the textile industry
on the basis of shop councils and mill
committees. 1t raises the demands of
organization of the unorganized and
| goes into unorganized territories Great
ing united front committees from the
workers themselves. 1t is not another
union, but strives to weld unions to-
gether.
The workers of West New York
have raised the alarm for the rest Of
the silk workers. Fight against wage
cutsi Fight against the speed-up!
Fight for real mill committees and
one union in the textile industry!
A united front of the workers against
the united front of the bosses!

The pickets were then ordered to
