workers, Ford agreeing 100 per
cent with the open shop clause of
the code, and as Mark Sullivan,
Herald Tribune special writer, said,
could very easily live down to the
wage provisions of the CODE"
But the big issue is trustifica-
ton, and who will gain the biggest
slice of the booty.
High officials of the General
Motors Corporation, such as John
]. Raskob, and others, have heavily
contributed to the Roosevelt cam
paign fund. Ford supported Hoo
yer. General johnson, closely con-
nected to Bernard Baruch and 9th
er Wall Street spectators, are
closely linked with Morgan & Co.,
and the General Motors Corpora
ton.
The Roosevelt NRA program, to-
gether with its attack on the work
ers' standard of living is aimed at
favoring the biggest trusts, who
would gain most by the elimination
of the antitrust laws, and the for
nation of trade agreements.
In the auto industry, the sharp
est battle has always been between
Ford and General Motors. In the
statement by General Johnson that
the public would sock down on
Mr.. Ford" is seen the use of the
NRA, as previously explained by
the Daily Worker, in the interest OF
the leading trusts who have their
agents on the NRA administration.
The present struggle of Ford and
General Motors is an outgrowth of
the sharpening of the crisis, and
the narrowing down of the automo-
bile market; and this struggle is
by the NRA.
General Johnson is trying to rail-
ly public support on behalf of the
General Motors attack on Ford,
while Ford through his own dema-
gogy is trying to get the petty
bourgeois, and even the workers to
favor him as an opponent" of the
bigger trusts, and as champion of
the cold liberties"
Ford is comforting with his son,
Edsel Ford, and other business as
sociates, and is expected to issue a
statement soon. Even if he accepts
the Blue Eagle, the battle will go
on nevertheless.

IN view of the reports Of change however it

AS long not to have the right of citizens

This system has worked satisfactorily for than 30
years. It is working satisfactorily now.
Theoretically of course, individual control and individual

But whether that superiority would work out actualty

than found in most cities where mayor city manager
is complete control of the administration of the community
In the other cities the people choose their mayor their

That condition does not and probably would not under the

Presumably would have city manager appointed by

Where have a threeman board appointed under the

Hungry Artist

And presently Walt was
making a little money, just
enough to live on, just
enough to take a room over a
garage in Kansas City, a
room which he proudly called
his "studio. " And that was
where fate stepped in, fate
in the persons of Mickey and
Minnie.
Working away in the hot
little room above the smelly
garage, Walt caught sight Of
two mice, one night - two
timid little creatures that
had come out of the wall for
GOODNESS, perhaps, or to get
the crumbs that even a hun
cry artist leaves around.
Walt was amused by the tiny
little creatures and began to
make friends with them,
finally Turing them, by
trail Of crumbs and cheese,
to his drawing board. And
it wasn't long until they
could sit on the drawing
board while he worked,
combing their whiskers and
licking their chops and tell
ing each other, probably,
what funny people these
artists are.

That has been the burden of the operators ever since the
steady increase in the fare began to drive passengers into

The companies deaf to the contention borne out by
figures from cities which have tried the fare reduction that
decrease in the fare would result in increase in the
riders.
For years the condition Of the companies has

This has been due to persistent drop in the number
passengers carried The blame for the decline
has been placed the increased of private automobiles
and cheap taxcabs

Amazing Story

One thing is certain,
Mickey will never ego Hol-
lywood." " He is too real for
that-too genuine. His rise
to world popularity is one
Of the most amazing stories
Of the times. This writer is
certain that more people
follow his doings and the
doings of his little group
than pay heed to the heavy
sessions Of economic confer
ences or the doings of leg
islatures.
Perhaps Mickey's celebrity
is not so amazing, after all,
when one remembers that he
came to us at the time the
country needed him most
at the beginning of the de-
preston. He has helped US
to laugh away our troubles,
forget our creditors and
keep our chin up. And now
that good times are return
ing, I think that Mickey
Mouse, as we'll as Franklin
D. Roosevelt, his good friend
and ardent admirer, is en-
titled to take a bow.

Therefore, by these same
tests, she should be a very
happy mother, and her chill
dren-16, 19 and 81, respec-
tively-should be proud, de"
voted and grateful.
But she isn't-and they
aren't. Instead, they are 1ndit-
ferent to her, when not down
right rude. They do not con-
fide in her. To the contrary
they hide their affairs from her
and fib when cornered.
They listen, when compelled
to her advice; but never follow
it. They frankly say, We've
got to fib to mother; she doesn't
know what it's all about"
Sounds as if they were tough
young outlaws. doesn't it? But
they're not. They are excep-
tionally fine youngsters. The
two oldest are earning their own
living and paying for their
board. The youngest is making
a good record in Commercial
High. They are all sensible, self
respecting young people; ami
able and respectful to everyone
but their mother, whom they
treat with good-natured con-
tempt.
Naturally the mother resents
this, grieves bitterly at their
"ingratitude," and feels sorry
for herself.
"After all I've done for them!"
she says.
THAT MOTHER DONE FOR
THOSE CHILDREN?
She has performed a tremen"
dous amount of manual labor.
She has served their physical
needs magnificently. BUT T
WHAT SORT OF SERVICE
HAS SHE GIVEN TO THEIR
OTHER NEEDS?
For remember, hu m n
motherhood implies much more
than service of physical needs.
1t isn't enough for a mother to
know how to cook, sew, clean
and dose, any more than it is
enough for a writer to know how
to type, spell, put pretty words
together, read books. If. as a
writer, I couldn't do more than
that, I couldn't hold this job a
week. A writer who serves hu-
mans must constantly study,
keep abreast of the times, dis
card old notions, take on new
oneS-above all, know his read
ers' current needs and tastes.

Behind the news that Art
ist Walt Disney will here
after do all his work and
transact all his affairs in
Hollywood, lies one Of those
human stories which make
news live. For the announce
ment means that Mickey
Mouse has gone to Califor-
nia-Mickey and his beloved
Minnie and all the little
mice.
Well, Mickey should have
quite a few years to enjoy
the golden sunshine of beau
tiful Southern California.
He is only 5 years old,
which, while fairly well
along in years for an ordi-
nary mouse, is nothing for
the irrepressible, ageless
Mickey. For Mickey Mouse,
like Alice in Wonderland,
will never grow up, and the
chances are that the chill
dren of years to come-yes,
and the grown-ups of years
to come, will still be squeal-
ing with laughter or chuck
ling apologetically over the
antics of that invincibly
gay, gallant and resource
full little creature who
makes kings and presidents
laugh as we'll as humber
folk.

Something New

Walt began to draw them,
actually using them as live
models, working them into
human situations, making
them tell human stories. And
suddenly, in the spring of
1928, the country awakened
to the fact that there was a
new character in films, a
comedy character different
from anything that had ever
been seen before. Within a
few weeks the whole country
was rocking with laughter,
and it still is.
Today, Mickey Mouse's
studio is in a large building
just off Hollywood Boule-
ward, in the outskirts Of Los
Angeles. In that studio Walt
Disney and a large staff of
carefully trained assistants
turn out IS Mickey Mouse
cartoons every year.

reaches all around the
curves of the world.
You can see Mickey at
his pranks if you wander up
to the Arctic Circle and sit
in a little movie house il
Illuminated by whale oil
lamps. And you can see
him in some sizzling hot
little cinema theater down
under the Equator, in Borneo
or Central America, or
China or Japan. For
Mickey, good American
though he is, is an interna-
tional character, who speaks
all languages because he
speaks the language of the
heart.
When Walt Disney was a
small boy his teachers had a
great deal of trouble with
him because he was dull
with his lessons. Arithmetic
and grammar simply could
not be got into his head. All
he could think about was
drawing. He covered his
school books, his writing
pads and his examination
papers with drawings of
people and of animals. Be-
fore he was out of his teens
he knew what he wanted to
do and what he was sure he
could do. When he was II
years old he paid for his hair
cuts because barber dis
covered that Walt s drawings
of animals doing human-like
things pleased people, when
he put the pictures in his
window, and drew customers
to the shop.

Tall Talk.

Tall Talk.
Why do you seem to gain
so much satisfaction in relat-
ing some of the devilish things
you have done?
Some rather serious sins
could be laid to your door II
you speak the truth about
yourself.
Instead of being proud Of
your offenses, do you know
that you are laying a founda-
ton for a bad reputation that
will follow you where you
least expect it.
Of course if your dcpreda-
tions were really of a serious
character you would not be
telling them so freely.
But to brag about your in
fractions and how no legal ac-
ton was taken, while it may
sound pretty sporty and racy
to you, is giving your enemies
an opportunity to lay a few
things at your door, that you
would not recognize later.
Men are only boys grown
tall when they begin to re-
count adventure.
They want to show they dared
to take a chance; that they
have not always followed the
straight and narrow path, and
it seems to appeal to some
men as evidence that they
were real fellows in their day.
What a mistaken pastime.
