Roosevelt Says That
Elephants Are PUSSY

The ungainly elephant is as fussy
as prima donna about his toilet, ac-
cording to Theodore Roosevelt, who
writes about his recent hunting trip
in an article In Liberty. Colonel
Roosevelt tells about the tame ele-
plants from the backs of which his
party did their shooting, and says:
'"The elephant, If he is to be kept in
top condition, should have plenty Of
time for his toilet in the morning,
First, he is driven out by the mahout
and gathers his own breakfast
branches, leaves, etc. These he
brings back to camp with him.
after breakfast, he is taken to the
river-if there is one nearby-and
washed. His mahout rides him into
the shadows and makes him lie down
on his SIDE The mahout then scrubs
and pounds him while the elephant
slHices himself with wafer from his
trunk until he shows up like bulky
glistening black rock in the stream"

CHE WHY of
SUGGESTIONS
COMBING THE HAIR
IN NEW ENGLAND they say:
Comb your hair after dark;
Comb sorrow to your heart.
By H. IRVING KING

n NEW ENGLAND they say:
Comb your hair after dark;
Comb sorrow to your heart.
In other sections TO comb your hair
after dark ''is a sign of sickness"
and in still others combing your hair
after dark twill make you forgetful. !"
All three variations of the superstition
amount to the same thing-that comb
ing ones hair after the sun has set
is liable to result in unpleasant con-
sequences.
The strong belief of the ancients
with regard to the hair as something
containing the individuality of man
in the highest degree has been spoken
of In connection with the magical i'm
portance with which the act of cut
ting the hair was supposed to be at
tended. Was not Samson shorn of his
strength when he was shorn of his
locks? And has not Pliny written
learnedly on the Importance of ton
serial operations? Combing the hair
appears to have been a much less
serious operation than the cutting of
it; but even combing would not fail to
have an appreciate effect when APP
piled to a substance so intimately con-
nected with mans physical and
spiritual being as the hair. The OPP
GRAFTON performed in darkness might
naturally be supposed to have dis
astrous effect. The benefcent gods of
day were no longer on watch. Night
was especially the time of the prowl
ing of evil spirits with which early
man peopled the darkness. Best not
disturb the hair In such company, at
tention might be called to it; harm
worked upon 1t and through 1T, on its
poSsesSor.

Austrian Unions to
Send $50 Engineers
to Soviet Republic
Especial to The Daily Worker

VIENNA, April 5-The Austrian
Labor Chamber, representing the
trade unions of this country, has de-
cided to send $50 engineers to the So
Wet Union in response to the request
of the Soviet trade unions thru the
agency of the Soviet legation here,
according to Fritz RACER, secretary Of
the Labor Chamber.
The step, which is the first Of its
kind, is taken in order to relieve the
terrible unemployment which last
winter reached total of 100000 and
in order to attract to Austria the at
tention of other countries where the
services of such skilled workers may
be needed. Two hundred Austrian
settlers have gone to the Urals to set
tie there.
The Labor Chamber some months
ago petitioned the United States gov
eminent to allow the immigration Of
$4,000 skilled workers but never re-
ceived a reply.

meeting was arranged by the Interna-

behalf as class.

also explained the legislation proposed
to congress against the foreign-born
workers. He showed the drive against
the alien workers as an audacious at
tack by the bosses and as great
menace to the entire working class.
A resolution denouncing the proposed
legislation was unanimously carried
by the audience.

sets. Democrats Texas;
Montague, Virginia; Tillman, Arkan-
sas, and Dominick, South Carolina All
of them took a leading part in the fight
for impeachment and represent what
is said to be among the best legal
talent in the house.
Action This Week.
Present plans call for final selection
Of the managers on Monday, but as
senate leaders are in no hurry to set
date for the trial, Representative
Tilson, Connecticut, republican floor
leader, indicated today 1t might be the
middle of the Week before the house
gives its approval to the nominees.
When the managers are approved the
only remaining formality will be a call
on the senate, advising it the house
had voted impeachment and suggest
ing date for the trial.
Roads Stand BY Him.
Activity of railroad lobbyists and
congressman notably friendly to rail
roads that traverse Illinois, in opposl-
ton to the impeachment Of Federal
Judge English, marked the final stages
of debate of that issue in the house.
Whereas on the first day it had ap-
peared that the, membership was al
most unanimously favorable to put
ting the anti-labor and pro-railroad
judge on trial for tyrannical and out
rageous conduct, on the third day the
tide of defense was running strong.
Discussion of Fnglish's railroad strike
injunctions of 1922 and of his attempt
to secure their rigid enforcement by
threats against local officials and strik-
ers and their counsel was emphasized
The railroad companies friends ap-
peared satisfied to have it shown that
the Judge was intensely partisan to
the companies and hostile to labor.

DETROIT SOLON
FIGHTS UNIONS
ON CITY SCALE
Objects to Union Wages
on City Works

DETROIT. April 5--Councilman ].
G. Lodge objects to labor union efforts
to have the city pay the union scale
to city employees He says he is tired
of labor unions trying to force the
city to pay its employees union wages.
VIM. P. Frost, secretary of Local II,
International Brotherhood of Electro
cal Workers, sent a letter to the city
council stating that the council failed
to include in the budget the union
rate Of pay for linemen, cable splicers
and trouble men. This letter aroused
Councilman Lodges ire. He cold the
city council that the unions had no
right to dictate to the council and that
he would only consider their figures
when they agreed with those Of the
city department heads.
Councilman Sherman Littlefeld told
him that the Federation of Labor
would not give him its endorsement
at the next election, to which Lodge
replied: Il have never got one, and /
can get along without their endorse
ment.
The plumbers union and several
Others have requested changes in
wages to correspond with the new
union scale, which goes in effect
July 1.
The city charter prohibits the re-
cognition Of union, but it specifies
that the highest prevailing wage he
paid to the employees. Since the union
scale is the highest the unions have
their demand upon this clause.
But Lodge and a few department
heads claim that Detroit is not a
closed shop city and that they refuse
to be led by the union wage scale.
Since most of the department heads
and councilmen are interested in va
rious manufacturing enterprises in the
city the reason for their stand is OBJ
vious.

How Sieberling Boss
Introduces Speed-Up
System Into Factory
lHy a Worker correspondent.l

l5y a Worker Correspondent
BARBERToN, Ohio, April 5-ons
day the manager Of the Sieberling
Rubber Company made bet with one
of the tire builders that this worker
could not make 100 tires an hour
This worker accepted the bet that he
could make that number of tires If the
boss would furnish a helper. The
boss furnished a helper. The worker
turned out 101 tires. For doing this
he was paid SIS. When the boss saw
this he then decided to cut wages.
Where the workers in the shop made
AZ tires for $3.50 they must now make
~ tires for $3.50. The tire-builders
must make these tires without a
helper. The worker must work twice
as hard, produce more profits for the
boss and get less for his work. If a
worker is not fast and cannot build
tires quickly he makes about SIS for a
days work.
The bosses are planning to cut
wages more. They will cut wages
more and more and make us work
harder as long as we remain morgan
lied. In order to beat back these at
tempts of the bosses it is necessary
for the tire workers to organize into
union.
