coming these tremendous obstacles,
that the steel workers in the Pitts

There has also been some justified
criticism by the Ambr.dge workers of
the Strike tactics in this particular
instance. We must say, however, at
this point, that even an absence of
these weaknesses would not have
overcome the highly organized and
heavily armed fascist terror. The
outcome would have been different
only in that the resulting organiza-
ton of the union would have been
stronger, more closely knit and ready
to rebound, for quicker action in the
future. The chief criticism made is
that the strike at Spang Chalfant

Enumclaw Man, Human Radio,' Puzzles Physicians, Scientists;
 Taken to Los Angeles Specialist

TACOMA, Wash, Aug. 31.-The strange case of Martin Booker dairyman of Enumclaw, near here, known as the human radio" has been placed before Los Angeles physicians and scientists. Efforts of local experts to solve his peculiar condition have proved futile.
 Some years ago Booker had a radio installed in his home. At once he began to suffer intense pain but no examination could de- termine it's cause. It was accom- panied by severe twitching.
 One oay, Booker put his hand on a water faucet in his house and the pains vanished. They re- turned as soon as he took the hand away. It was then reasoned that radio waves caused the trouble, so he grounded himself by means of 8 cane wrapped with copper wire which connected with the ground through the floor.
 Local physicians after long study, admitted themselves baffled. Los physicians and scientists expressed a deep interest in the case so he has gone there for treatment and observation.

Miss Liberty Is Diporced Army After AZ Yedrs Union;
 Int, Department Guardian

NEW YORK, Aug. 31.-The Unit ed States Army and Miss Liberty, the statue, have parted company after forty-seven years of happy union.
 "The army and Miss Liberty will continue to enjoy close association" /" a statement from the former de- clared, explaining that the separa- tion was solely an economy move.
 Evasion of Facts
 But it was only an evasion of the facts.
 Forty-seven years ago, on Oct. 28, 1886, Miss Liberty was given away at a touching ceremony, at tended by thousands. Major Gen. John Schofield, commanding the Division of the Atlantic, United States Army, unveiled the bride, who weighed 225 tons.
 For many years the army and Miss Liberty were happy together.
 But in 1881 Miss Liberty, who had guided thousands to the free dom of the New World with her beacon, began to get ideas about freedom herself Probably it was part of the modern woman move ment. Anyway, there seemed only one way to appease her.
 Is Decorated Anew
 So the army spent about $40000 on her personal adornment and she shone forth to the world in new and dazzling brilliance in the form of floodlighting.
 The army's announcement that Miss Liberty and her soldier guardians are parting company, . was understood simply to mean that its a divorce, just another American divorce, where the parties give out statements that they are still the best of friends, and so on"
 Has New Guardian
 Her new guardian is the Depart ment of the Interior and from now on the unenlisted employees on Bedloes Island will be under it's jurisdiction instead of that of the War Department.
 The grounds are economy. The Interior Department won't spend the way the army did. It is just part of the Presidents recovery program, but is understood that Fort Wood Garrison, including the First Division Headquarters and Military Police Company, will re- main on Bedloes Island anyway.

 and Wingard on Fish

Today's meeting of the Juneau Chamber of Commerce in Bailey's Cafe evolved into an interesting round-robin of discussion in which many speakers took part and the subjects ranged from the NRA, through fishing, mining, to the progress of plans for a Juneau air. port.
 L. H. Metzgar, general superin- tendent (. fthe Alaska Juneau, in- formally talked about the gold price situation explaining that changes were being made daily and at the spresent it was impos- sible to say Just exactly what effect the new regulations would event. ually hive upon the industry, but that if proper balance between rising prices of supplies and the increased price of gold was main tained he trusted conditions would lead to increased employment.
 INO lOuC fNuuptC0
 He pointed out that through development and maintenance work 10 per cent more men were working in the local mine now than at this time a year ago. No national NRA code has been adopted as yet for gold mines, he said.
 Wingard On Fisheries
 L. G. Wingard, Alaska agent for the Bureau of Fisheries, explained how Commissioner Frank T. Bell was endeavoring to bring the fish ing industry under the MIRA as rapidly as possible. To accomplish this it is the hope and efort of the Bureau, acording to MT. Win gard, to stabilize the price of fish so that the individual fisherman in all Alaska areas will get a fair price for his fish.
 To assure this it is essential that the canners have an established market price that will permit them to earn a reasonable return. With the successful development of such a program as the Commissioner has outlined, MT. Wingard predicted
