a breaker. Now he logically
connects his attacks agains the
American workers with his vicious
onslaught Of the Soviet Union.
Coming to the support of the dis
credited Stimson war threat note,
Woll holsters up Wall Streets
morale and urges more direct mill
tary measures.
In his imperialist role, Woll takes
more open stand for the seizure
of the Manchurian railway for the
benefit of his masters, than did
Stimson in his official war threat.
The letter says:
"The United States has never rec
ognized the independence of Man
churia. The chief object of the So
viets is precisely to negotiate sepa-
rate peace and in this purpose, as
every dispatch has demonstrated,
they have the support at least of
japanese opinion, whatever may be
the position of the japanese govern
ment.'
Not only does Woll take occasion
to support the war preparations
against the Soviet Union, but he
supports the u. S. imperialist man.
euvers against Japan in Manchuria.
He fails to point out that Japan is
as vicious an enemy of the workers
republic as Matthew Vol is an en-
envy of the American workers.
In his letter, Woll takes the OPP
portunity of expressing his bitter
ness against the vanguard of the
militant workers of the world, and
+ begs Stimson not to recognize the
Soviet Union.
Finding it more difficult to betray
the American workers, VOL takes
every occasion to vent his spleen
against the fatherland of the work
ers of the world which in the pres
ent world crisis OF capitalism points
the way for the hard-pressed work
ers.
The support of Wall Streets war
threat is one of a long series of
imperialist moves carried out by the
A. F. of L., and Woll in particular.
He aids the big trusts in their
tariff fight, as well as in their wage
slashing campaigns. Whether he
got any Of the big sums that have
been spent freely for tariff lobby
lists has not been made public yet.
Other friends of Hoover, such as
Edwin Shattuck, were paid $4,000.
Most outstanding is VOLTS sup
port of Hoover's grand fascist
council" This is the organization Of
! big capital with state government
/ functions oaid them in their eff
forts to beat down the wages of all
the American workers. Woll signed
the statement in which the A. f. of
L. leaders said they would not insti-
tute strikers or permit the workers
to defend their wage standards.

the workers that the Communist
Party is modifying it's forces and
Strengthening its drive for 5000

collaboration with the bosses against
the American workers and against
the Soviet Union was given by the
Illinois miners in their general
strike, and will be added to by the
growing mass of militant unem-
ployed workers.

strike spreads, let me show some of
the things that caused the miners
to strike under the leadership of the
National Miners Union.
Rotten conditions are being put
into all mines-even where machines
haven't as yet been installed. This
is because of competition. The
bosses in open-shop industries
couldn't be more brutal. Men are
discharged for no reason at all.
One man working at the Peanut
Mines was discharged because he
had one car of loose coal in his
place. He went out half hour
before quitting time, and it has al
ways been customary that a piece

Grand canyon highway south of Mt. Carmel.
 At half dozen points the tunnel approaches close enough to the face of the cliff for galleries to be cut in its side, permitting views from on high of the winding canyon road, the turrete@ crags of East Temple, and of the west canyon wall. Some of the galleries are large enough for sev- eral motorists to park their cars.
 Construction of the tunnel and route to Mt. Carmel and Bryce can- yon was started in 1927 after labor ious surveys in an effort to find a shorter route between the Zion and Bryce canyon national parks. By airline it was only 54 miles, but by road it was 1858 miles over a route barely passa ble at best and at times impossible or dangerous. The new route shortens the distance to SS miles.
 Many problems were encountered The road to the cliff had to be built to transport the tunnelling machi- nery. The machinery had to be talk en up the face of the cliff and work was started at several points. First the galleries were cut to the tunnel line. and then the tunnel was cut

FRANCE PARADISE
 FOR AUTO DRIVERS
1ll1lc ia Plrs k HslIy But
 Almost UDdiroCtod

Louisville, Ky.,. June eS-Paris with it's traffic practically undirected. may be an object lesson to American cities. according to Mrs- Gordon R. Kinsey. wife of Louisville attorney. who has just returned from abroad.
 Mrs. Kinsey was Miss Anne Viz her. sister of Marcel Vizner attache of the French consulate in New York. Her story of how she drove an automobile in France and what experience she had with Paris traffic may be of interest to those in Amer lea who are trying to devise a safe and speedy traffic system.
 Although she had driven a car in the United States for eight years, Mrs. Kinsey had to make a six weeks study of automobile mech anics and pass a rigid examination before she was granted 8 drivers license or could even take her car out of the dealers store where she purchased it.
 Car Waits Its Driver
 "After I arrived in France" she says, "I bought small car to ill., All a dream I had always had of touring Europe. I discovered that all could do was to look at the car. all shining and new. sitting in . Parisian garage tempting me for . month and half. I could not take it out. In fact, had given my word to the dealer not to touch it until I had received my drivers license.
 Here came the difficult part of my experience. Before I could even apply for the license I had to sign several certified papers. tax bills. and . certificate of residence. For days. after going through these formali- ties. I sat quietly at home studying every part of the automobile and it's separate purpose. had to memor- ize the road code and when I knew everything about the mechanism of the auto, or thought I did. filed my application.
 The test of driving did not wor- " me much as I had driven a car in the United States for eight years. Yet had been doing this while knowing practically nothing about carburetors, magnetos and other mechanical features of the motor. The driving test was conducted un- der the sharp eyes of French en- Eineer. Then waited week until l finally received notice that I had passed and could speed over the French roads"
 In . Joyful Maze
 And that's the reason. Mrs. Kin sey believes. why Paris is compara- lively safe in traffic, although there are no traffic lights and very little direction by the sendarmes.
 T never enjoyed driving more than I did in Paris" she remarks. Paris is, think, unique among the cities of the world for her tangled mass of vehicles each moving noiselessly, finding it's way through . maze of dark and bright streets.
New Britain herald., 1929-06-28

If you happen to stand at the Place de rEtoile or the Place dc rOpera watching the cars 50 by, you wonder how thousands of auto mobiles of all sizes and makes can progress in all directions at tho same time at a speed of not less than 60 miles an hour without crash or wreckage.
 "In all Paris there are no Stop and Go traffic lights and no police men to interfere with the drivers. Yet there are fewer accidents here than any other place because each driver is a driver"

Mt. Carmel, Utah, June 2S R- Grandeurs now inaccessible to the tourist will be opened with the com pletion at the end of the year of the Pine Creek canyon highway tunnel, Zion national park, in southern Utah.
 Cut through the face of a forbid ding cliff, the tunnel, more than a mile in length, will open up the beautiful upper reaches of the park over scenic winding road, leading to Bryce canyon and Mt. Carmel.
 From the entrance of Zion na- tional park, the road winds back and forth along the slopes of Pine Creek canyon, climbing upward 500 feet in four miles to the portal of the tunnel through the high sand stone cliff.
 For $500 feet the tunnel, 22 feet wide and 16 feet high, follows just inside the face of the cliff on a five per cent grade until. at the oppo- site end, it has climbed above the walls of the lower Pine Creek can- yon.
 From there the road leads through sandstone ridges and across rocky plateaus to the eastern boun- dary of the park, and then to the
