Hillsboro, \. NJ, Oct s LP,-After 50 years of search for a Host lead" of red ore said to have assayed s2,- 100 gold to the ton, Manuel Taylor, aged but active American Mexican who says he Is a descendant of Gen. eral Zachary Taylor, still pokes about this section of the southwest with two burros, confident that he yet will strike Ter rich.'
 Ills life and the faith that goes with 1t stamp him as one of the last Of that picturesque type - the old west gold prospector.
 One More Grubstake.
 Taylor now is eking out a living and saving toward one more grub stake by prospecting and placer mining near Gold Dust. x. NJ, with a primitive machine he calls the poor mans concentrator." But he is reputed to have mined on a vast scale at various times in his life and to have made at least six big min eral strikes and spent as many for tunes.
 For instance. in 1906-1907, when an epidemic of influenza struck this part Of the country, Taylor is cred ited with having bought 155 collins and paid the funeral expenses of as many of the poor of his community.
 Early in the seventies an Indian friend told young Taylor he could lead him to heap much gold" They Outfitted and neOatrated the wild San Matillo mountains country. F'i- nally they reached spot from where the Redskin pointed 10 streak of red earthmuch like brick dust and grunted dramatically:
 Here heap much gold."
 Lost Colds Location,
 Taylor was disappointed to see no trace Of gold in it. He was then ig- nor of metallurgy However, he wrap ped some of the stuff in a handker- chief and threw it into one of his pack bags. They returned to Silver Ciey. N. M.
 One day months later Taylor WaS cleaning his bags and found some of the red dust. Idly rubbing it between his palms, he suddenly noticed many particles of fine gold appearing as the coarser grains broke away. He went to an assayer to learn that the dust tested S2.100 gold to the ton.
 In the meantime his Indian guide had died. And for 50 years Taylor has failed to relocate the treasure spot again.

Speed-Up System
Being Inaugurated

ey a worker correspondent

TOLEDO, o., Oct. 17.-There is a
plan on foot at the present time to
bring about a different system OF
working of the men in all wood and
steel railroad shops. Piece work is
being abolished and a system as bad
or worse is being substituted.
Fam made to believe that the men
responsible for this new speed-up sys-
tenn are not directly connected with
the railroads. but are selling their
plan. Men receiving large salaries
are sent out 10 supervise this work.
Wherever these men have appeared
workers have been put on what IL
called standard of performance, as fol-
lows:
IL worker attains rate OF rs cents
per hour, based upon schedule re-
comfy worked out, he gets bonus or

How the Soviet Union Deals With Strikes

conceivably happen.

r Asst Friday / saw the first night of
IL movie.
have seen a lot of movie first
nights. They are always interesting
usually there are good many film
actors and actresses present. Friday
there were several thousand of them
at the performance. For interest and
dynamics and sheer excitement, these
ten thousand amateurs played Valen-
tino and Bebe Daniels off the screen.
The movie was the Passaic Strike,
and the audience and the actors were
the Passaic strikers.
They haven't Forgotten.
A NYTHING is a nine days wonder
n in New York for the metropoli-
tan press, and the papers and some
of the liberals who were. SO active in
their support the first few months
seem to have forgotten that the strike
exists. But the strikers have not for
gotten, and the strike has lasted eight
months. The mill owners have not
forgotten either.
In the thirty-odd weeks of the strike
the strikers ranks have been little

two, in sections of thirty or fifty have
gone back to work. Out OF sixteen
thousand perhaps two or three hun

~ side scabs. Five per cent, ten per
cent, in some places fifteen per cent
are claimed. They are a fine bunch
of brass check scabs. They walk in
the mill doors, then they sit and
smoke. The other day half a dozen
of them got into a fight and had to
be arrested. Actually, scabs arrested!
And as the American Legion says, this
isn't Russia yet. You can imagine
what sort of scabs. Some of them
have gone out on strike. The mill
chimneys smoke-a httle-but no tex
tiles go to the station in trucks And
bombs explode that hurt nobody, with
| the police conveniently planted near
the scene. That is the present state
of warfare on the Passaic front. On
the owners side all the signs of de-
moralization and collapse, onathe strik-
ers' movie audience of ten thousand.

Flrst-CIass Production.
The movie itself was a first-class
professional production, even to the
usual amount of holcum. Before the
strike drama there was a prologue,
which, as far as hokum was concerned,
was just a little bit bigger and better
hokum than almost anything / have
ever seen on the screen before. / sup
pose the producers wanted to make
us feel at home. 1t was just as well.
Before the stark realism of the mass
drama, something was needed to put
us into movie mood.
THE mass drama was a grand affair.
1 have seen three mass dramas on
the screen-"Grass,p "Potemkin" and
1.-THE Passaic Textile Strike" - and
they make most individual dramas
look sick No commercial producer
dares touch them, but they hold the
future Of large part of the screen.
The movie man has great advantage
over other dealers in realistic art
he can take his material as it comes,
then rearrange, cut and select it in
the privacy OF his studio But what
he works with is the raw material of
life. According to my theory OF art,
rearranging, cutting and editing is all
the artist does anyway, so l recon-
mend few Of our young artists to
learn the technique of the camera and
take few photographs of strikes.
An Artistic Work.
GCENARIO of "The Passaic Textile
~ Strike" was exceHently arranged.
This is the most difficult in fact, the
decisive job. II l did not know that
FPotemIin" was not shown here till
after the Passaio movie had been pro-
duced, l should suspect its continuity
writer of having been influenced by
"Potemkin." The scenes came one,
two, three-bang- bang-bang-b
with that dynamic quality that we
have learned to associate with all good
movies. Scenes were torn out Of their
chronological order and slight violence
to technical historical details, but
much greater accuracy in the spirit Of
the strike--in other words. instead Of
news-reel. we have a movie. The
fact that it held the interest Of a
very uncomfortably standing audience
thru seven long reels, and would, /
think, hold the interest Of any, is a
tribute to the intelligence with which
it was arranged. The camera work
was good, but not always perfect-it
was the only place where technical
specialists were employed. The titles
were excellent, pointed, colloquial, full
of propaganda, and with excellent com
prehension of what q movie title
should be.
A Promising Contribution.
Altogether, the Passaic Strike pie
ture is promising contribution to
American history, to working-class
propaganda, to the methods of con-
Quoting strike relief, and to the crea-
tive development of the newest and
most American of the arts.
