of spoiled and coddled bache-
lors, that it seems superfluous
to talk about it.
Still, having been inspired by
Mr.. Hilaire Belloc to give a few
tips on "how to bore woman"
it's only fair to offer the fol-
lowing specific rules on "how
to bore a man."
Begin by calling him up at
his office (preferably before 10
a. m.) as often as you can and
on any foolish pretext.
When you telephone him, al
ways ask coyly "Guess who this
IS" and persistently refuse to
give your name. A man just
LOVES to stop in the midst Of
a big business problem. to play
guessing games!
When you are together, keep
up a running fire of small talk.
Never permit him or anybody
else to get in a word. Just be
bright and scintillating and
talk, talk, TALK. There's moth
ing a man enjoys so much
as being continuously "enter-
tained' by a human phono-
graph.
When he tries to give you
"advice" on any subject, don't
let him get away with it. Sur
prise and dazzle him by show
ing him how much more YOU
know about it, than HE does.
This will reduce his superiority
complex.
Tell him ALL ABOUT
YOURSELF. Leave nothing to
his imagination.

exactly as though you had been
waiting for that, all the time.
Or don't even wait for him to
TRY.
When he invites you out, al
ways suggest going to the most
expensive places and order the
most expensive dishes on the
menu. This will show him that
you are used to mice things"
and are sophisticated, and all
that.
When he starts to say good
night, look hurt and coax him
not to go home so early. Then,
hang around his neck gooily at
parting.
Keep tabs on his smokes and
drinks and drop in at his Of

that you're going to be his

When he makes a bright re-
mark or a new wisecack, shrug

comeback on him, which will
make his own joke sound tame
and flat.

This strike was pulled over the
heads Of the officials, and should
prove to all our comrades that the
Iowa miners are OF the same material
as the miners Of other fields. Iowa
is no exception. In spite of the fact
that no strike leadership is estab-
lished, the miners are staying out.
The U.MW.A. officials have been

Roosevelt. The following statement
was made today at the meeting; II
Roosevelt fails us we will fight against
him too, but we want to give him a
chance.
The condition necessary to win this
strike is to transform it from wild
cat strike, into an organized strike,
a strike led by the rank and file, with
committees elected by the rank and
file in every mine, and on a district
scale.
The miners are planning how to
get rid of the present leadership Of
the U.M.W.A. During this strike the
miners will be able to pick out the
best fighters and at the next conven-
ton put them into office. But in
order to be able to defeat the Of,
fetal machine at the convention, VIC
must organize broad opposition
group. An opposition group in each
local union and these groups to be
bound together on sub-district and
district scale.
The rank and file committees set
up to lead the Strike can be utilized
for this purpose very well. If estab-
nshed during the strike as strike
leadership, they can after the strike
be turned into an opposition move
ment, and be very effective.
One of the main things is to es-
tsblish conscious Party leadership
among the miners. A leadership that
will be able to guide and give strength
to the opposition among the Iowa
miners.

Cleveland Car Men
Angered at Sell-Out
by Officials Of AL.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Sept. 13.-The
treachery of A. F. of L. officials in
openly selling out the strike of the
Cleveland carmen was sharply scored
by the Communist Party candidate
for Mayor, Ford
A week ago Thursday the carmen
voted for a general strike to enforce
their demands for rs per cent wage
increase. The union bureaucrats,
however, ignored this decision, and
signed an agreement with the car
company for arbitration of the wage
scale and recognition of the union.
The car workers, angered by this
betrayal, are growing in militancy
and are eagerly buying the Daily
Worker"
Ford exposed the open collabora-
ton of the union officials with the
N. r. A. representative, Barnes,
Mayor Miller and the bosses.
1.-THE question OF pay increase has
dropped out of the picture as far as
your union officials are concerned"
said Ford. "And to make sure that
you shall not get any increase in
pay. they have also agreed that you
have not the right to strike for it,
either"
Union officials, who formerly cited
the enormous profits of the company,
now state that at is not practical for
men to ask for wage boosts at this
time"
To hide the sell-out, union officials
are now heralding the great "vic-
tory" in getting union recognition.
Ford urged the workers to continue
the struggle for wage increases and
to organize committees Of action in
the barns and shops.

found that the American miners
were very few, and that most Of
the others were unnaturalized.
To the question of removal of
the troops, Governor Seligman re-
piled that he was "afraid the min
ers would come to violence at the
hands of the deputies if the troops
are removed" The miners assured
him they could handle the situation
themselves. The governor gave no
indication that he had any inten-
lions of removing the troops. He
said he would give them "orders
to protect you, instead of the COM
pany." The miners expressed lit
tie confidence in this, however.
The first signs of weakness on
the part of the operators was seen
today when two of the mines

More than 5000 Iowa miners are
now out on strike against the pro-
posed code of basic wage scale of
$4.7O for an eight-hour day, and in
Appanoose and Wayne Counties
(Southern Iowa. $3.75 basic wage
scale.
The demands of these miners are
a basic wage scale of SIS for a six
hour day and five days week. This
demand was again confirmed at a
mass meeting of 1000 miners in
Union Park, Des Moines, Saturday,
Sept. 9. This meeting voted to stay
out until this demand was won. This
meeting also accepted motion to
send a notification to the president
of District No. 10 of the U.M.W.A.
Frank Wilson, that If he didn't come
to the next mass meeting to be held
Monday, Sept. 18th, the miners would
not any longer consider him as their
president.
Wilson had been invited to speak
at the meeting held Saturday. How
ever, he didn't show up and this
made the miners even more mad than
they were before. It was looked upon
as an insult to the striking miners.
Last Spring the miners Of Iowa
were forced into an agreement, that
was signed aaginst the vote of the
miners, by the District 10 officials.
This agreement stipulated basic
wage scale of s4.70 for an eight-hour
day. In southern counties the OPP
orators closed down their mines
rather than to pay the scale.

Last Sunday morning ten unem-

gang of hoodlums in Hester Park,
on the lower East Side. The Negroes
later required serious hospital treat

workers who were also sleeping in
