NAVAL MEETING
PROCEEDS WITH
UTMOST SECRECY
Macdonald Asks Press
Not to Expose It

LONDON, Jan. 24.-Marked by
an interview with correspondents
with Macdonald, in which he urged
the journalists not to expose the
so-called Naval Conference in stories
sent to their countries, the confer
ence is still in secrecy, which an at
tempt is made to hide by occasional
interviews with the press by this or
that diplomat.
The chief item today which pre-
tended to give news, was an inter-
view with Premier Tardieu of
France, in which the Frenchman hid
all the real issues of the conspiracy
by long and mystifying arguments
about "global tonnage and trans,
fer of categories," and such techni-
cal matters.
Of course, the French are anxious
for what is called "global tonnage"

ITO the headquarters of the
Communist Party. Many of
the unemployed were beaten up
by mounted police who rode
into the ranks of the jobless in
an attempt to break up the
protest. Six were arrested.
Three are held on $500 bail and
two on 500 bail.
~The unemployment demonstration
which marched to the City Hall was
preceded by mass open air unem-
ployment meetings in front of a
large steel plant and Ford fac
tory. Another meeting was held
before the Municipal Employment
Agency.
When the six workers were ar
rested, the crowd of jobless work
ers marched to the police station
with them and struggled with the
police. The jobless went back to
the headquarters of the Party. Po-
lice then raided the Party offices,
chasing out everyone present and
beating the workers who resisted
the raid.

took a heavy toll of the strikers, but
the working class rallied behind the
Passaic Relief and raised hundreds
of thousands of dollars to buy food.
In the end, after more than a
years strike, the employers offered
to treat with the strikers if the
Communist leadership would step
out. The strike was turned over to
the United Textile Workers, and a
settlement with some gains effected.
The U. T. w. then betrayed the
strikers wholesale; all gains were
lost, and more also, and ~organiza-
ton deliberately smashed because
the U. 7. w. takers feared this mass
of militants in their union, The
workers are now ready to follow
the National Textile Workers Union
in new struggle.

boasts of being a 100 per cent A. F..

sent twenty men from the Sixty

to work as scabs in the strike of the
200 Yellow cab drivers there against
a wage cut. The company is offer
ing the men here a big wage to go
to Pittsburgh but the feeling among
the men in all of the Chicago sta
tions is against scabbing on their
brother-workers and only a few have
fallen for the promises of the boss
of high wages and gone to help him
break the strike.
The conditions of the Yellow Cab
drivers in Chicago are nothing to
brag about; out of the thirty-seven

ceived by the men, they must pay

200 Go Without Food
a Week in Flood Zone

BLYTHEVILLE, Ark, Jan. a.
More than 200 families have been
without food or fuel for almost a
week, due to the severe ice-covered
flood in the dismal swamps of
Northeastern Arkansas. Many of
the farmers have either drowned or
frozen to death. More than 100000
acres of land are water-covered.
Most of the farmers in this terri
tory are poor farmers, who live in
dilapidated shacks. They work on
tiny rice clearings and exc out a
miserable existence.

GHANDI ONLY TALKS RADICAL

BOMBAY, Jan. 24.-Ghandi. the
holy misleader of Inria, is finding
it difficult to gain mass following,
and is talking radical" in order to
gain mass suppost so that he can
trade it off for a compromise with
British imperialism that will leave
the Indian bourgeoisie in control
jointly with England. He yesterday
said that "the peace we prize is a
mere makeshift," and even that it
is better ito risk anarchy and worse
until the existing rule and spoilation
are ended" But he clearly does not
like what he calls "anarchy"-mean-
ing the revolt of the masses.

Relation of Relaxation to Work
BIZ LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

is better done. The important factor,
viewed from the standpoint OF the
housewife who is on the point OF q
nervous breakdown Is that the work
itself Is not what Is wearing her out
any more than the anxiety she feels
toward its accomplishment.
Practically any task about the house,
taken by itself without the knowledge
that another task Is to follow immedi-
ately, and done without the feeling OF
pressure. would not be a burden. In
deed. It would be harder for a nervous
woman to sit still and do nothing than
to take up a dust cloth and make
use of It.
Many women would spare themselves
illness and a doctors bill by cultivating
relaxation In work. Nearly every one
has had the experience Of saying to
herself that she Is going to take q day
OF and not do a stroke of work"
Some little piece of work comes to mind
and because she does not have to do 1t
the doing of 1t appears as q pleasure.
This leads to another task, undertaken
in the same spirit, and that in turn to
another.
To her complete surprise, she finds
in q more efficient days work than on
many another occasion when she had
gone deliberately about it and felt twice
as fatigued at the end of the "a hours
If the housewife, awaking in the
morning with the dread feeling that a
terrible day lies ahead, could separate
herself from the idea that all the work
had to be done right away" and with
that coveted feeling of relaxation go
calmly from one understanding to an
other, her health would show improve
ment and the work would not suffer.

Peter Rabbit was hopping along,
lipperty- lipperty-Np. over near the Long
Lane that leads from Farmer Browns
BARNARD down to the cornfeld on the
Green Meadows. It was early in the
morning and he was on his way home
to the dear Old Briar-patch.
I'm q little late" thought Peter.
Eyes, sir, I'm a little late. I ought to
have started for home sooner. I nope
that Reddy Fox and Mrs. Reody and
Old Man Coyote are nowhere around
I don't believe they are. And I hope
Redtail the Hawk isn't hunting over

Well, I'll have to stay hidden over here
in the bushes beside the Long Lane for
while. If Bowser the Hound and Flip
the Terrier stay at home, Ill be all

along the Long Lane and prepared to
make himself comfortable.
Peter had been sitting there half
dezing for some time when a faint
rustic of dry leaves caused him to open
his eyes in a hurry. The rustic OF dry
leaves, especially when none of the

Today in
Washington History
BY DONALD A. CRAIG.

May 2, 1S61.-Examination OF the
records Of the city tax sales shows that,
in the excitement of the times, with
civil war breaking out and the general
difficulty In obtaining money, hundreds
of citizens Of Washington whose real
estate has been sold for the taxes OF
1858 have failed to redeem it. The city
authorities today called attention to the
fact that unless it is redeemed today
to the delinquent taxpayers.
The law declares imperatively that it
must be redeemed within two years
from the date OF the sale. which was on
May 3, 1859. The two years expire to-
morrow. There Is no power lodged any
where to extend this time limit.
John Conner, the Government mes
senger who recently was accused of
tampering with confidential official dis
patches irtrusted to him for conveyance
between Washington and Philadelphia,
is now in the custody of Col. Butler at
Annapolis. It was stated in military
quarters today that he would probaly
be hanged.
tofore is said to have borne an excel
lent character. On the delivery of his
dispatches in Philadelphia, Capt. San
ders discovered that all had been
opened, and doubtless read, somewhere
on the road between Washington and
that city.
A crisis is believed to be approach
ing In the military situation in this
vicinity. Union troops are being con-
centrated in this area in large num-
bers. Baltimore is almost completely
filled with Union troops and there are
large forces CT Union Volunteers in
Southern Pennsylvania and Western
Maryland and In the nearby portions
of both Virginia and Maryland.
Fear of the Federal Government that
Southern sympathizers in Maryland
may endeavor to take that State out OF
the Union is believed to be the cause
of so many troops being stationed
around Baltimore, which is almost COM
pletely surrounded by Union soldiers
There is also large Union force at and
near Annapolis.
l. Federal authorities here thiYik the
prompt action that has been taken will
prevent Maryland from leaving the
Union. The western part of the State
is declared to be strongly pro-Union In
sentiment.

BOOK REVIEWS

It's good to read the book reviews:
they soothe and comfort and amuse.
They tell Of books we ought to buy,
though cost of livingS pretty high, and
give us hints, In playful tone, Of books
we well may let alone. I ramble
through the book reviews and get a
smattering of news concerning books
Just placed on sale, for which I have
not blown my kale. And when the
neighbors come along to gossip some,
at evensong, talk of new books, one by
one, as though I'd read them by the ton:
I seem quite learned and up to date.
as I thus rear up and crate. and people
doubtless wonder how I find the time
to pad my brow with so much knowl-
edge touching tones which haven't
reached their barren homes. A man
who reads the book reviews can tread
the village avenues and talk so wisely
and so long that folks will think he's
going strong, and they Will ask his sage
advice when they are fixed to blow the
price of some new book that's made a
hit-which makes him feel that he is
It. It fills ones breast with honest
pride to feel men think he is supplied
with wondrous knowledge touching
books-it is a high renown, gadzooks!
No man can read the countless tones,
biographies and tales and PONIES which
come in bundles from the press, no
man can read to such excess. A small
proportion he may choose-but he can
read the book reviews, and If their drift
is understood, and If his memory is
good, he is equipped to go around and
all our modern lore expound. OF course,
some sharps will see his game, and think
his nerve is beastly shame they'll know
his folks would think it queer If he
should read one book year. But with
the world he makes a hit: his knowl-
edge they will all admit.
