Eliot and Rudolph The worst that
can be said about the male sweetheart
of Moronia is that he set a standard
in amorous technique which the ordin-
airy male finds difficult to rise to. He
was at worst a negative nuisance.
Eliot on the other hand was pos

issued a statement holly assailing the

In their statement, the committee

the mills yelleh Communism and said
time and again We cannot deal with
the strikers, because their leaders are
Communists. Now that difficulty, If
it was one, has been removed, The
American Federation of Labor has
come in, so now the mills do an about
face and say that they will deal with
operatives at present in their own
employ because they are the only per-
sons with the right to be interested.
SIS it not self-evident that the mills
branding of the strike as COmmunistic
was only a way of befogging the real

that the American Federation of La

would never have done so, but that
it was done for the sole purpose of

"The citizens committee, at its or

organization which could help in this
strike, and used the name of that or
