American Astronomers to
Hold Annual Session.

BH United Press
CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Dec. 3d.
Recent discoveries of American and
Canadian astronomers will be dis
closed at the forty-third annual
meeting of the American Astronom-
icaI Society which conveneS at
Harvard university here today. The
meeting will occupy five days.
Among the papers expected to be
presented at the meeting will be
one by j. E. Willis on the crossed
vertical transit, a new instrument
used extensively during the past
year in fundamental astronomy.
A preliminary report of the
eclipse of the sun in 1882 will be
made by Frederick Slocum, it was
announced. Slocum'S report will
deal with the possibility that the
eclipse would occur in a clear sky.
During the session, members of
the society will visit the plant of
the General Electric Company at
Lynn, where they will witness the
process of manufacture of fused
quartz mirrors.

CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE

IF he lived to be 100 years old,
i Howell Sheffield would not be
able to forget his twenty-third birth
day. Catching a glimpse of himself
in a mirror on the elevator, he
thought bitterly. You're a fine
fellow"
The reflection of the face JAG
queline Bordini had seen fit to adj
mire made him feel ILL., He walked
to the subway station and took a
Hollywood car, conscious of only one
idea. He owed "Lambie" 500, which
must be paid before he could look
upon himself with any self-reSpect.
Something Sally had said to him
months ago flashed across his mind.
you'll hang around until you
lose your money and self-conf1dence.
In the end, maybe, your health and
Self-reSpect,"
And he had answered, 'I wouldn't
say that if 1 were you"
The memory of ''Lambie's" words
and the expression in her eyes made
his blood run cold. Would he ever
feel free of the contamination of
her touch? Even after he had re-
paid the money he had borrowed?
Borrowed? She hadn't expected
him to return it. q, She had known
he never would be able to save 500
out of his earnings as a cop"
Now he hated that word! How
he hated the sight of a braSS-but-
toned uniform and himself in it! A
fine costume for man who should
be wearing a surgeons coat.
"Oh, well, and oh. he'll" as DIM
plies would say, it was all part of
the game. The thing for him to do
was to return the 500 Immediately.
He went to DimpleS' rooming
house, determined to seek advise
without conflding. Dimples was
clad in a purple dressing gown,
rather the worse for wear. His
room was Uttered with trophies of
the chase. Photographs, some quite
intimate ones, Sentimentally in

signed Peggy" was pasted across
the mirror. A half-open box labeled
among My Souvenirs" revealed
gloves, vanity cases. chiffon hand
kerchlefS, carriers and other things.
Howell considered that box the
most atrocious thing about Dim
plies. He exhibited it to masculine
visitors with the air of conqueror,
boastfully relating the stories that
went with it. The tales he told were
those of a modern Boccaccio, both
revolving and fascinating.
At these times Howell wondered
why he continued the friendship,
but after all DimpleS was a colorful
soul He always could round up q
crowd or think of something to do.
Howell had decided by now that
beggars can not be chosers in the
matter of companionShip. Dimples
was more or less Of life-Saver in
an existence barren-Up masculinity,
and as such, Howell appreciated
him.
He pushed aside the contents of

ing and sank upon the bed, saying

obtained by Dourof. Martha not
only photographed we'll. She worked
! (this is not meant as an insult to
professional actresses) with an I'M
usually quick grasp of the meaning
of the producer. Even at times
when she was not herself in the
photograph, Martha would be follow
ing with her eye all that was taking
place in front of the apparatus. She
worked with the minimum amount
of rehearsing. Rehearsals bother
her, and, to use her own expression,
only confuse. All that is needed is
to explain the requirements to her
in simple language-what, where,
how and why. Martha tries it over,
never relaxing her attention for a
moment. You ought to see her face
when the producer is explaining to
her the task in hand; how every
muscle of her face and body is re-
Taxed; how she is wholly absorbed
in preparing herself for satisfying
the requirements. You ought to
see how Martha works through a
whole succession Of scenes arranged
for quite different purposes.
There is one episode in the pic
ture: Martha goes to the dairy. She
enters quietly. Suddenly she sees
that the peasants are dividing the
first profits. Money has disappeared.
Only a trifle remains for distribu-
ton. Farewell to her dreams of
bullock for breeding! Martha looks
at the dull faces around her. Alas!
what darkness and ignorance! Like
an angry mother defending be-
loved son, Martha hurls herself on
the treasurer of the dairy; she
rushes through the crowd, barri-
cading the door with her frail body.
The peasant attacks her. She does
not relax her hold. She endures. The
peasant filings her face downwards
onto the handle of the separator.
Martha is bent up with pain. Still
she endures. The agricultural dire :
tor comes in. The money is re-
covered. The agricultural director
helps to put matters right. The
peasants listen to his words.
Martha's face, with it's high cheek
bones, is lit up with joy; the grey,
slanting eyes are radiant.
The simplicity and readiness with
which Martha adapts herself to the
required mood effaces with SUSPECT
Gus ease all the distinctions between
an illiterate hired worker and a pro-
fessional film actress. Fortunately
for the latter, the laurels of the
cinema are without interest for
Martha. She is back in her village,
and it is doubtful whether the walls
of our cinema studios will ever see
her again. She has even refused a
position as work-woman at the Kino
factory.

SLASH WAGE OF

IN GENERAL CO.
Get SIP to S14 a Week
Now
(By a Worker CORRESPONDENT

NEW BRUNSWICK, N. j., (By
MaiD Some time ago the bosses
of the General Cigar Co. plant here
cut our wages by Is cents per 1000
cigars packed. Now we are getting
only 25 cents for every 1000 ma
chine made cigars packed and 80
cents for every 1000 hand made CT
gars we pack.
We are able to make now since
the wage cut only $12 to $14 week.
Before the wage cut we made $40
to $22 a week. This was very low
too, but now the wages are so bad
that we cannot live on them.
We want the old wage back for
starter, the old wage of 40 cents
per 1000 machine made cigars
packed and as cents per 1000 hand
made cigars packed. That is one
reason why we are striking. We
also want a shorter working day.
The company is very busy now and
I'm sure that we can win if all the
General Cigar Co. workers stick to-
gether.

There are many girls here that

they work only eight hours, if the

But do they actually work only
eight hours a day? They do not.
They work nine and a half hours a

The A. F. of L. bureaucracy, aided
by it's inseparable thuggery, again
demonstrated wholesome fear and
hatred of any worker fighting with

the workers, instead of more profits

Old-Time Labor Faker.
The present secretary organizer,
A. F. Martel, an old-time labor
faker and betrayer of the working
class, did not at all like the idea of
having competition for his well paid,
easy job. He took the floor and told
the membership that Whittier could
not hold office in this union; that
Whittier himself knew why; that he
had "kindly" refrained from saying
anything before as he expected
Whittier to decline the nominations.
Whittier emphatically denied hav-
ing committed any act that pre-
vented him holding office. He de-
manded that Martel state openly to
the membership these accusations
against Whittier.
The Red Bogy.
Being pushed, Martel told how he
had found "Communistic" literature
in the union office, but could not
discover who brought it there. Some
time afterward he had Whittier
watched" and learned that he had
brought it there. Quite recently
some people called him up and told
him (MarteD that a cook by the

of my ability to carry out that

Faker Martel was then challenged
by Whittier to mention anyone who
had worked or self-sacrificed more
or even as much for the union as he
(Whittier) had. Martel did not
answer.
A vote was taken, and Whittier's
name was kept in nominations until

81 told Brother Kearney I had
nothing against Whittier as a Com

hold office in the union as member
of that Party, and l wanted a de-
cision on this matter" Brother
Kearney stated emphatically chat
no Communist could hold office in
this union"
Continuing, faker Martel said,
"The shoe strikers in Boston and
vicinity are against the American
Federation of Labor of which we are
part, and Whittier is mixed up
with these strikers. Therefore he
is against us. Eleven years ago
we got you the straight hours and
six day week, then the Communists
came in, broke up the union and see
where you are today.
"Brother Whittier does not want
the office, no! it is the Communist
Party who wants the position to
break up our union, and Whittier,
like cur, has come here to do the
dirty work! But we will not give
you the chance this time Brother
Whittier, you can stay in the union
if you behave yourself and keep your
'Communistic' stuff out of here; if
not, we will put you out"
Whittier then got the floor and
again explained to the membership
the fighting, working class char
acter of the Communist Party. He
bitterly denounced the stool-pigeon
tactics Of the business agent, A. F.
Martel, and warned them that every
member that fought for better con-
ditions would get the same treat

munists do not go to the bosses to
organize the workers, but Martel
had gone only to managers and hotel
owners, and always with ideas and
suggestions as to how to make more
profit with less expense for the
bosses by cutting down the number
of cooks and speeding up the rest of
