"a BIT OF LEAvEN"
By N. P. j.
VALENTINES
To Brother

To Brother
You re full of tricks and jokes and
prapks
Of fell design
But every day | offer thanks
Because you're mine.
To Sister
Oh, just to own a microphone
That carries news afar
So all may know by radio
How very nice you are.
To Her
I'd like to send diamond ring,
But very much to my regret
| can't finance the pesky thing
So valentines are all you get.
To Him
/ would that YOU, Sir, were adept
at detection,
And could read people s
thought with a whiz;
But what would | do if you looked
my directionf
All, maybe It's better as it's!

Technical Engineers Ready
To Reorganize N. Y. Union
If Red Leaders Are Ousted

Washington, d. c., (ILNS) Charg-
es made by members of the Union of
Technican Men, New York City, that
the organizations affairs are in the
hands of active communists, are seen
at the headquarters here of the In
ternational Federation of Technical
Engineers, Architects and Draftsmen's
Unions as confirming evidence Of com
munist control suspected at the last
three conventions of the Federation.
The Union of Technical Men is now
an Independent organization but was
formerly affiliated with the Fedora
ton, which is an A f. of L., body.
The New York union was expelled last
fall, its strong communist learnings
being one of the factors in the expul-
sion.
A large group in the Union of Tech
nical Men, discharged with what they
charge is communist mismanagement
of the organization, is fighting the
communist influences and is seeking
the removal of Mercel Scherer, the
unions organizer and an active work
er in the communist party. His re-

world relief to cancer sufferers
if radium We're sold at cost price to
research organizations such as the
National Research Council. Wealthy
men, he believes, would contribute to
an endowment for the control and use
of radium in this way.
Universal agreement as to the eff
ficacy Of radium in therapeutics is not
TO be expected" says the journal, "but
there is considerable body of author
tative opinion to the effect that radi-
um, when used skillfully and in suf-
ficient quantity, still offers the best
means known for the treatment of
certain types of cancer to mention but
one important application relating to
the maintenance of health and the
defeat of disease.
"Where radium has failed authori-
ties tell us the cause has more fre-
quently been the insufficient quantity
of the radium salts available than
for any other reason. These quanti-
ties have remained small because of
the price, requiring an investment be-
yond the ability of many who other
wise would be glad to use it..

Excessive Price for Radium
Keeps 1t From Dying Cancer
Victims, Professor Charges

Washington, ID. c., (ILNS).-Thou-
sands throughout the world are dying
of cancer every year while radium
is being boarded and sold at excessive
prices by Belgian monopoly, declares
an editorial of protest in the July num-
ber of Industrial and Engineering
Chemistry" journal of the American
Chemical Society, quoting DR.. r. b.
Moore, dean of science at Purdue uni
versity an expert on radium.
A hoarder of food who endeayors
to exact a fabulous profit for a
necessity would be given no mercy,
asserts the journal, asking:
what shall be said then of COM
pany which, through numbering
among its stockholders citizens of
other lands, is nevertheless controlled
by those identified with a country
which sought and was given the help
of the world, and which now demands
the utmost the traffic will bear for
a material which to many means the
difference between life and death ?"
Radium is now selling at retail for
$4,000 gram. DR.. Moore points out
that the Belgian producers could bring

Labor Head Pledges Full Support of Organized
Workers to Campaign of Porters to Win Bet
ter Pay, at Enthusiastic New York Meeting
Which Shouts Down LEFT Wing" Hecklers

New York City, QLNS).-Declaring
that the American Federation of La
bor stands unalterahly against any
color line in the trade unions, Presi-
dent William Green of the Federation
pledged the full support of labor to
the campaign of the Pullman porters
for better pay, at an enthusiastic
meeting of porters held in the Abys-
sinian Baptist church here. Hecklers,
some of whom were members of
communist organization, who inter
rupted Mr. Green were shouted down
by the porters.
My presence here ought to be an
answer to the mischief makers who
say that the A. f. of L., is not inter
ested in the colored man" Mr.. Green
asserted. I'm 1893 the Federation de-
clared that the working people must
unite to organize irrespective of creed,
color, race or nationality. The record
shows we have repeatedly reaffirmed
that view. The Federation stands un-

alterably OH the principle of no dis
elimination. When our movement de-
parts from that fundamental principle
it will perish"
"We are" said Mr. Green, "immeas-
urably interested in the Pullman port
ers and maids and it is our purpose
to give them all the support possible
in their efforts to promote their well
fare. We want to see them live as
American citizens should live and to
help them wiring from an unwilling
corporation wage commensurate
with American standards of living.
The heart of labor beats in sympathy
with the colored workers efforts to
secure better life. 1t appears to me
that if the facts can be brought
squarely home to the American peo-
pie, public opinion will demand that
the Pullman Company give justice to
its porters."
Mr.. Green denounced the company
for insisting its porters must depend
for their living on tips.
Tipping" said he, is a personal
thing If for good reasons l see fit
to tip a porter, the porter should pro
fit. Instead the Pullman Company
benefits most, for the company bases
its wage ratios on the volume of tips
the porters are expected to get"
Mr.. Green asserted that 100 out of
l05 international unions in the A. F.
of L., provide for negro membership
and that the Federation, in cases where
they are barred, would directly chart
er unions of negroes.
A. Phillip Randolph. general organ
izer of the Brotherhood of Pullman
Porters, who introduced Mr. Green,
said that the time must come when the
porter will not be dependent on tips
for his living, and disclosed that in
taking the porters into the federation
the Executive Council of that organ
ization had waived $4,000 in initiation
fees.

The fight in the New York union

HOSIERY WORKERS
ACCEPT new PACT

Philadelphia.-A special convention
Of the American Federation of Full
Fashioned Hosiery Workers approved
an agreement between manufacturers
and union representatives.
The agreement will insure stabili-
zation as far as this can be insured
by any human agency" said Emil
Rieve, president of the union.
All employees in the knitting and
topping departments Of the full fash
ioned plants must be members Of the
union. Provisions are made to pre-
vent abuse Of the two machine sys-
tenn, and numerous clauses provide
methods by which technical disputes
can be adjusted.
the claim that the union has given
in to the 'Allen-A' system, operated
by the Kenosha concern against which
we have been striking for Is months,
is ridiculous" said President Rieve.
The Allen-A did not invent this
system. It was at one time universal
IN the trade, but was abandoned be-
cause it was uneconomical Manu-
facturers Of full-fashioned knitting
machines are the principal advocates
Of the system
The issue in Kenosha is not the
two-machine system. The lockout was
caused by refusal Of Allen-A to bar
gain collectively with our members .

FUTURE HOUSES BUILT
BY MASS PRODUCTION

Boston Dwelling houses in the fu-
ture will be built by the mass produc-
tion system, Edward A. Filene, Boston
merchant, told delegates to the Ma
tional Association of Real Estate
Boards.
Mr.. Filene pictured houses manufac-
tured mostly by machinery, as many
makes of automobiles are today, in
central factories and in standardized
sizes and shapes, by companies CON
trolling under one management the
entire chain of production from raw
materials to finished parts, and assem-
bled at the place for sale by the same
concern using the same maximum of
machine processes up to the final sale
of the finished product.

clared before a senate tariff sub-com-
mittee.
The witness represented New York
manufacturers who operate on the
anti-union basis. He said strike is
probable among these 5000 workers,
all Of whom are revolutionists.
He agreed that low wages was the
rule and that some" Of their troubles
"are due to employment of cheap for
eign labor"

POWER TRUST RUNS
GOVERNMENT

New York.-Domination of govern
mental agencies by the power trust,
commencing with the smallest mu-
nicipal office and reaching up to the
heads of the government ITSELF" is
charged by Senator Norris.
The Nebraska lawmaker made this
statement in connection with the Fed
eral Trade Commissions expose of the
power trusts attempted control of
public opinion.
Other evidence, said Senator Norris,
startles the country in the magnitude
of the trusts investment in newspap-
ers in various parts of the country.
Investigation of the Mobile newspaper
situation discloses that where the
trust could not buy newspaper they
did not hesitate to establish a news
paper.
"The cry of regulating such mon
opoly is preposterous, said Senator
Norris. ut is already large enough
to enter the national field in regulat-
ing the government itself"
