SONGS OF THE CACTUS AND THE
PINE

We have good news for the Con-
gregation of the Faithful and for all
who sit in our far-flung synagogue
this blessed Sabbath morning.
And the good news is this, that
Sharlot Hall has published a second
edition of her silver songs of the
desert. The book goes by the odd
title of Cactus and Pine" with all
the old poems in it, and some new
ones.
Happily for us, God makes a poet
now and then-just now and then,
only. For, everyone who writes rhyme
is not a poet And, also, there are
poets whose songs are in souls only
songs that the world never hears.
1t is our own personal opinion that
Sharlot Hall is the master poet of
the West. And that she is one of
Americas truest poets. And, because
we believe this, we are doing you
kindness by telling you to buy her
book. 1t will be friend in your
house 1t will put the music of des-
ert sands and desert stars in your
heart. You will thank us for putting
the book in your way. 1t is printed
at Phoenix by the Arizona Republi-
can.
Some day we will go over the book
for the synagogue. Some day when
"the moods shall run their fingers in
our hair" And then you shall hear
echoes of these silver songs. And the
music of desert winds and desert wa
terfalls will be in your ears.
But, you need not wait for this. Be
sure you have the book now to sit
with you in the inglenook of dreams.

ference on this poisonous fuel.
The conference made some deci-
sions in line with recommendations
Of the labor officials but the perilous
issue has not yet been settled. The
conference ordered the surgeon gen.
eral to make an exhaustive investiga-
ton with the assistance Of seven
scientists. At labor's request It was
agreed that the cost Of the probe be
met from public funds and not from
the purses of the corporations affect

Newspaper reports of the confer

Ethyl Gasoline corporation, Standard

directly represented, in addition to
their medical experts, thus sitting in
judgement on their own case.
Efforts OF the corporations to show
that the new motor fuel was harm

Painters, Strike Winning.

Boston, Mass, May 24.-The strike
of the Painters Union here is still in
progress against those hard boiled
bosses who refuse to raise wages to
$1.25 an hour. Many bosses have
signed up with the union, and the
painters have gone back to work on
these jobs. An assessment Of $3.50
is being collected from all members
Of the union at work for the main
tenance Of those on strike.
It is claimed by the officials of the
union that the building boom here
favors the union in its struggle since
the bosses must soon resume work
on their jobs or suffer under the
penalty clauses in their contracts
The bosses have been unable to get
sufficient scabs to do the work on the
struck Jobs.

Street and Electric Railway Employees
of America and owner of a string of
non-union hotels, who promptly decid-
ed that, of course. the local should ar

5000 BUILDING
TRADESMEN IN
STRIKE VOTE
Boston Workers Ask
Wage Raise
BY tom BELL.

Especial to The Daily Worksr)
BOSTON, May 24.-WhIIe the banks
are reporting that the projected buIId-
Ing operations In this dIstreIt arc Is
per cent greater than last year, the
building Iaborers Of thIs city have
voted to strike on Monday to force
the bosses 70 aecede to their demand
for an increase In wages from IS and
70 cents an hour to II and 30 cents.
The strike order affects 5000 building
laborers, and Is called after ballotlna
showed a majority in favor Of strike
of 1924 out Of a total Of 1900 votes
cast. The original demands Of the
union called for an increase to 30 and
80 cents an hour.
The date for the strike was set for
Monday at a conference OF the wage
conference committee OF the FIVE
Boston locals of the International Hod
Carriers, Building and Common La
borers' Union which met Wednesday
afternoon to tabulate the votes cast. No
work will be carried on on those Jobs
which refuse to pay the increase. and
those bosses who agree to the In
crease will be supplied with workers.
Sullivan Says Wages Too Low.
In discussing the strike vote and the
decision to give the bosses until Mon
day to put the new rates into effect,
Daniel ]. Sullivan, president of the
district council told the DAILY
WORKER that the building laborers
feel keenly the fact that they have
been working below the 1919 standard
of wages and have been receiving
less than this peak rate while the
other building trades have received
increases of 20 cents an hour since
that year. The wages of the building
laborers have only advanced about 10
cents an hour since 1919.
Members VIII Resent Interference.
The result Of the referendum vote
has been reported to Dominic D'Ales
sandro, president Of the international
Union. and it is expected that he will
insist on going into conference with
the bosses upon his arrival in this
city to attempt a settlement of the
dispute without a strike.
The feeling among the rank and file
of the union is against this procedure
since they think that the great vote
cast for a strike shows that the over
whelming majority of the building
laborers in the city are for a strike
if the bosses refuse to come across.
Any compromise with the bosses on
the part Of the international president
will be keenlt resented by the mem
bership.
