Cleveland Women
To Meet Thursday

CLEVELAND, June 1.-THE Wo-
men Workers Progressive League of
Cleveland is again. getting on the
job. Women in Ohio earn on the
average of $3.50 a week, which is
not enough to even pay for the board
and room of single woman, and
means that the married woman has
little to take home to the family.
More and more women are entering
industry, owing to the low pay of
their husbands, and they are being
exploited more than the men.
Several local issues, such as the
failure of the school board to fur
nish proper Fairgrounds for working
class children, will give the women
a well-rounded program of work.
The next meeting Of the Women
Workers Progressive League will be
held on Thursday, June %, at s p. m.
at 1927 Euclid Ave-, Room 10.

ST. Louis Fails to
Turn Out for Filler
FGtGd by military

ST. LOUIS, June 1.-THE Lind
bergh celebration here fell rather
flat. Only about 5000 people were
out TO greet the flier on his loudly
heralded return to the city that sent
him to France.
The leaders of the pre-arranged
celebration blame the poor turnout
on the rain, there having been slight
showers during the day, but even
the Chamber of Commerce hackers Of
Lindbergh have, some Of them, ex-
pressed considerable pique over the
way in which st. Louis adventure
into high class advertising was taken
advantage Of by the army and navy,
various statesmen and politicians,
and everybody but the business men
Of st. Louis.
Lindberghs recent definite switch
to the side Of preparedness" and his
advocacy Of big war fleet for the
air has given color Of justice to
the army's claim that he is their
man, and has further buried the
aspiring hopes of st. Louis that some
increased commerce and more set
tiers will come its way.

that there was chance of much OF
