CADIZ, o., May THE eastern
Ohio coal strike area was wrenched
from its state of calm early today
when a huge electric transformer
was dynamited at the Somers MING

darkness.
The mine, operated by the Good

forced to suspend operations.
The Somers mine, located at
Adena had been the center of dis

state troops more than a month
ago.

of this sacri1cial attitude the party

The Young Turks also proclaim
their detestation of Senator Robin
son and hope that out of this defeat
may come an opportunity to purge
the party Of the old alliances,
cliques, and factions and bring
about sturdy new and progressive
Republicanism.
All they wait upon is defeat-and
they need no assurance that it in
evitably will come in Noyember-So
they lift no finger to stem the tide.
All their efforts are concentrated
in sitting in their club and pre-
dieting that Watson will get fewer
votes from this Republican retreat
than his Democratic opponent, Van
Mugs.
Thus they are waging a passive
campaign, a la Gandhi, against the
Watson theory of political behavior
based on the double-cross.

to American life-groping in con-
fusion and wonder and occasionally
in terror, but always with a deep
tenderness for people and with a
profound poetic insight.
Sometimes, in this book, he seems
to feel that machinery is the key
that a worship of the machine
is to be the lands salvation.
At other times he leans toward
Communism as the new religion. In
the end he is not decided; but
meanwhile he gives you a beautiful

The plot is slight. It is about
Red Oliver, son of a doctor in a
Georgia mill town, who wants to
get himself in rapport with the
spirit of his age and fails because
he can't figure out what that spirit
may be.
He plays baseball, fumbles about
blindly with a woman who dazzles
him, works in the mill, and at last
goes drifting northward, wanting
to ally himself with the luckless
mill hands, but not knowing quite
how to do it.
Finally he gets involved in a
Communist strike in North Caro-

That's all But you get to know
Red Oliver almost as you know your
