STRIKE AGAINST
500 WAGE CUT
300 Auto Workers in
Revolt

KALAMAZOO, Mich, Aug. IL
Three hundred men have struck here
against the brazen announcement Of
the Limousine Body Company of a
30 per cent wage cut. In the hope
that corps of mechanics would re-
main to break in scabs, workers de-
clare that concessions were prom
ised to many. However, only three
men remained in the shop.
Prominent advertisements offer
ing "good pay and steady work" for
all types of auto body mechanics are
appearing daily in the Toledo pa
pers. No mention. Of course, is made
of the strike. Obviously the body
company hopes to trick some of the
5000 unemployed in Toledo into
scabbing.
Under the leadership of. the left
wing Auto Workers Union, which is
calling preliminary conference Au-
gust "a to organize a national union.
series Of strikes in automobile and
body plants have occurred during
recent months. The most recent Of
these was the militant struggle of
the Murray Body Plant workers
which enlisted in the picket line over
a thousand unemployed auto me-
chanics who refused to scah.
Sporadic strikes are spreading
among auto workers who are forced
to work under unbearable speed
up conditions. In strikes where the
A. F. Of L. stepped in, workers were
sent back with promises Of "arbitra-
ton" which never developed. The
Limousine Body Company sstrikers
will be represente dat the National
Automobile Workers Conference and
together with thousands Of other
auto workers will participate in the
Trade Union Unity Convention in
Cleveland, Aug. 81.

Martha Moore Avery,

BOSTON, Aug. 11.-Mrs. Martha

the age of 70 years. She was one
time active in the socialist move
ment, but some twenty years ago
became renegade, joined the cath

apostate, one David Goldstein, noted
as the only catholic who was "bap-
tized" by a rabbi. Goldstein's ia
vorite subject was Socialism a

Martha Moore Avery died two
days after Victor L. Berger. The
difference between her and Victor

life isn't often like that.
It Is but the story Of these
two-Nancy Hawkins and Hal
Ferris how they first saw each
other, how they met and what
then happened to them.
They did meet. As quickly as
he could Hal went around to
his tent and washed the grease
from his face and replaced his
oyeralls with knee breeches and
boots. Then he went out again
and found her still standing
there and went up and spoke
to her.
It didn't seem strange to him
that he should do that nor
strange that she should answer.
she asked him il he were an
actor and he said, mo, I'm an
electrician"
And she said. "We're going to
have electricity here pretty
soon. Il heard Daddy talking
about it at the store the other
day. They're going to dam the
river up that way /" she threw
out an arm and then they're
going to bring electricity here.
Daddy says we won't be cut of

much longer, he says the noun
tains are going to have all the
things the city people have.
Later he walked home with
her, following q path that led
through the laurel and the Wild
flowers, and before he left her
she had promised To come again
the next day.
she did come, the next day
and the next one, and they
talked FOR long hours together
until each knew all there was to
know about the other and they
thought they had known each
other forever. And sometimes
little silences would fall between
them as their eyes met and
they knew that IL must go on.
And then. on the fourth day,
she asked him, What Is this
play about? It doesn't make
any sense. Z
And he said, TITS about q

Guys face was now darkly
pallid thin and aquiline. His
eyes had a luminous intensity.
He gave a start when his friend
put q hand on his knee; when
he cautioned:
"Guy-den't be a fool! You're
up against it. Don't make the
case utterly black. Don't try
any rash, insane trick"
Mo- won't!"
Five minutes later, Guy stood
at the iron screening. On the
The Washington times., 1929-12-27

other side Of this stood Laura
Dawn.
Her voice had q sobbing,
prayer-like information. All
yesterday at hah-past three
Pat was living. She kept her
thought focused with fiery ap-
peal on that moment the last
moment when her girl was
known to live. Let God keep
her for them! :
She had her ear to the
screening. His lips moved
against it with a surcharged
precision. And she felt his
heart humping with q kind Of
mad-passionate resolution. She
had no wish to halt its reckless
pulse. They were bound to
each other now with a strange,
superhuman exultation. They
were apostles whom heaven had
chosen to make this race
against death.
Guy said: "GO to Bryce. Tell

She turned for one moment
to look In Guys face. But
there was q dim shadow about

But her face was In the
light. Its eyes were beautiful.
He could have blessed her be-
cause they looked up and put
all that trust in him.
He went to his cell. He sat
on the edge of the cot. His
thought rode on beams of light
infinitely swift. It passed
through obstacles through
iron bars. He no longer felt
his own weight.
One scene and one figure
was in his mind. It was the
moment Of Sunday night when
he lay half PROSTATE in the
hills. and Tim Chase, the de
tective, came upon him.
He had turned with q cry Of
relief-a cry Of Joy, hearing q
human step: seeing q human

and only that was Just what
the director wanted. That was
his Atmosphere"
Now. the movie company had
been there three days when Hal
Ferris first saw Nancy Hawkins.
She was watching the actors,
and he didn't know then that
she had seen him before he saw
her. In fact. had he known it
he would have preferred that
she hadn't seen him not at
that time.
For Hal wasn't an actor, and
instead Of being resplendent in
costume and makeup he was
dressed in d grimy pair Of over
alls and there was . disfiguring
smudge across his nose and
most Of one cheek, . souvenir
OF two hours work on the balky
dynamo.
Hal, in short, was an electro
clan. Not q very good one and
not q very bad one. He was
also 9 young man; city,borr.
city-raised and cityIninded.
He was strengthening up
from his work when he saw
Nancy, and 1t wasn't until his
back began to hurt that he
realized he hadn't completely
Strengthened. Because the sight
Of her stopped him Ia mid
course. as 1t were, and, still
half bent over, he stood there
and stared.
With him It was like that.
He had never seen anyone
quite like here before. He never
expected TO see anyone quite
like her again, and he never
wanted to. IL was more than
love on first sight; 1t was mute
and unthinking alteration.
Had anyone asked him what
he saw in her that he hadn't
seen IN other girls he couldn't
have told. Not In detail. any
way. It wasn't her brown eyes
with the straight brows above
them, nor her short straight
nose and the dusI1y red IN her
cheeks. 1t was none Of these
and all of these all Of these
together. And with them the
things which his eyes could
not see and which he could
not reduce to words. The
things which he felt where his
heart had been.

Swede With an English Accent Becomes
Wealthy Merchant in Interior Of China

London-(AP)-Hc's a Duke Of
Mongolia and he owns and runs a
big wholesale business and speaks
with an English accent and his real
name is +. A. LARSON. because he's
really a Swcdc. His story is one of
the most fascinating yarns that has
come out Of the troubled realm of
the Chinese in recent years.
When he was a youth, LARSON,
whose people we're peasant farmers
in Tillberga in middle Sweden, went
to China as a missionary. A Mon
golian prince took a liking to him,
protected him in his work, and
taught him a little Monaghan. Armed
with this, he moved deeper into the
interior and settled at urga, which
happens to be the seat Of that mys-
ferrous being known as "The Liv-
ing Buddha," who is for the Bud
dhists Of Mongolia something like
what the Pope is for the Catholic
world.

"The Living Buddha" also took a
fancy to this young Christian mis-
sionary and often had him come to
