This message, accompanied by $500, was
sent to the Daily" by two Boston workers
who withdrew their money from the bank IN time.

the Daily Worker means to save the unflinching
leader of the fight against the bankers efforts
to hur millions of the toing population still deeper
into the pit of starvation and suffering.
These two workers have answered the blow
struck at the Daily by the banking crisis. Where
is YOUR answer? Receipts in the financial drive
Saturday. including this 500 contribution, were
only S288. Donations have dropped sharply and
the Daily is still stuck with over 200 in checks
that it cannot cash. Only last-minute contribu-
tons of Tag Day funds by the New York district
enabled the Daily" to appear today.
To assure the publication of the Daily Worker
tomorrow and the succeeding days, Tag Day and

IN the Senate tomorrow
The bill at one bIoy robs tens
of thousands of disabled vet
Grams and their dependents of large
portion Of the meager payments they
are getting from the government,
and cuts many thousands more COM
pletely off the payment list. The
present system of compensations and
allowances will be done away with
and in its place system of pensions
completely controlled by Roosevelt
(that'is, by Wall Street,, will be sub
stituted. This will give him the
power to make drastic cuts in bene-
fits.
f Pensions for the group known as
'non-service- connected disabilities"
will be given only in those cases
where the disabilities are classed as
permanent, which means that the
big majority of this group of vet
Grams will be cut off without a cent.
This class Of vets, numbering about
100000, has been under constant at
tack by the bankers spokesman de-
spite the fact that their disabilities
were in most cases contracted as a
direct result Of their service in Wall
Street wars.
No pension will be paid to widows
and children of veterans OF the world
war. Pensions will be given only to
those who served q certain number
i-9a days; the president having the
power to determine the number Of
days necessary. Pensions and allow
ances to veterans and dependents of
all wars before the Spanish War will
be cut 10 percent.
To Cut Pay of Armed Forces.
The men in the armed forces OF
the country, who are getting only 81
a day and less, will also be cut on
the basis of the decrease in commo-
dity prices between the Six-month
period ending Tune 80, 1928, and the
siX-month PEP d beginning Jan. l,
1882.
The bill carries out the demands
made by the National Economy Lea
que, an organization dominated by
big bankers and their republican and
democratic flunkeys, including Al
Smith and the late .Calving Coolidge.
1t is being backed by various mis-
leaders Of the vets, including some
who are now coming out openly for
the first time.

BERLIN, March IL (By Cable) -
Despite the continued sabotage by
the Socialist leaders of the anti
fascist front, the workers in many
factories have begun protest strikes
against the fascist regime and its
suppressive measures against the
working class. The situation in
Dresden is particularly tense with
increasing numbers of Socialist
workers Joining the anti-fascist
front over the heads of their re-
formist leaders, who are still
mounting demagogic threats"
against the fascist regime but In
practice striving to block the de-
velopmert of the revolutionary
fight on fascism.

by Dean James E. Russell of Teachers
College, Columbia University. He wrote
of her as "a patriot whose interest lay
in the development of young woman
hood; an idealist who dreamed dreams
that can be realized an executive who
knew how to engage others in service
that commanded her whole heart; ar
American whose sympathies embraced
the whole world, and whose faith was
inspired by peace on earth and good
will among men"
1t may happen that the time will
come when every American girl viii
be a Girl Scout. Such development
would be an endowment Of the life
of the entire Nation. Its influence
would affect every home and every
individual career and would solve many
difficult problems.

The Girl Scouts Day.

This Is National Girl Scout week, and
today is the seventy-third anniversary
of the birth Of the national organlza-
tion's founder, Mrs. Juliette Gordon
Low. In cities and towns throughout
the country the double occasion is being
celebrated by the Girl Scouts and their
friends.
Mrs Low was a very remarkable per-
son. She came of mixed Southern and
Northern stock, and had temperament
which owed much to both strains. Like
Sara Bernhardt, she had a multiplicity
of gifts, was writer, a painter, a
SCULPTOR. a musician and an actress;
and, like Florence Nightingale, she had
the tender heart Of the instructive ano
practical humanitarian. Her name is
listed In the roster of the most en-
inent women of her time. She was a
living monument in the great move
ment she established. Parents espe-
cially are deeply in her debt.
Probably it was inevitable that
girls equivalent Of the Boy Scout!
should be brought into being. The

Baden Powell. But in America nc

to the need OF rigid regulation OF
bicycle use here, in all the States,
uniformly If possible. In England,
where there are between six and seven
million bicycles-a large percentage Of
the population-444 riders were killed
and 1901 were injured in 1892
Three out of four Of these were adults.
From Berlin comes the report that
the bicycle is regarded as grave prob
lem throughout continental Europe by
reason of the refusal Of riders to comply
with regulations.
The admonition Of the A. A. A. Is
that bicycle riders should voluntarily
abide by the laws governing other
vehicles, obey stop signs and one-way
street indications, drive on the extreme
right side of the road, never ride
abreast, and otherwise conduct them
selves as do the careful, rule-respecting
drivers Of motor cars. II they will do
this they will protect themselves from
injury and perhaps death and will be
less of peril to other street users than
II they take advantage Of their present
Immunity from the regulations.

Problems,
BY PHnANDER JOHNSON.

Problems.
Long years ago in Egypt land,
When the distress was very great,
They built the Pyramids so grand
To make the money circulate.
So weary grew the working men
Into the neighboring sea they fed.
They struck low tide; passed through,
and then
They left old Pharoah in the red.
Old Nero piled up wealth so vast
Great riches spoiled him all too soon.
Upon a golden Tyre at last
He played a good old-fashioned tune.
And class distinction grew so great
That folks considered not so good,
His grandeur to illuminate.
Were used instead Of kindling wood.
Tobacco once for money went.
A cigarette is now joke.
Greenbacks were freely made and spent,
And likewise have gone up In smoke,
And still we hold faith secure.
Time always makes our problems
plain,
We measure what we must endure
And then march bravely on again.

Bleriot and Lindbergh.

Yesterday at Paris Col Charles Lind
bergh was the guest at luncheon of
Louis Bleriot. Thus met two pioneers
in aviation, whose respective achieve
ments were hailed by the world as
epochal 1t has been more than twenty
four years since Bleriot few from
Calais to Dover, distance Of twenty
three and ore-half miles, in thirty
eight minutes. Great strides have been
made in aviation In that period. 1t has
been nearly six and a half years since
Lindbergh few from New York to Paris
In thirty-three and one-half hours, and
in even that briefer span of time there
has been marked progress in the navi-
cation of the air.
Bleriot was true pioneer in avia-
tion. First interested in motor cars,
after the completion of his military
service, he became convinced that the
future great development in transport
lay in the then infant science of avia-
G1oi4s f1C bciACNCo III tilC llCdSACi -tiidll-
air machine, founded an airplane fac
tory In Paris, and in September, 1907,
built monoplane with his own hands,
the next year winning a beginner S
prize" of two hundred francs. Later in
the year he made the first cross -coun-
try flight on record, a single hop of
sixty miles. That was the virtual be-
ginning Of practicable air transport.
But 1t required Bleriot's famous feat
of flight across the Channel to arouse
the world. That occurred July 25, 1909.
1t was not as long a fight as that Of
the Autumn before, but it was rated
as more perilous, although French de-
stroyer accompanied the flyer on the
trip until Bleriot became impatient
with the comparatively slower speed of
the convoy and pulled away from 1t and
landed far ahead of the escort.
Bleriot and Lindbergh! Two men of
daring, Of skill and of prophetic vision.

Oil Price-Fi~ing Discussed

cessive competition"
In support Of the critics OF the
adopted policy, the Sioux Fails Argus
Leader comments: Price competition
is an essential of commercial and ma
tional progress. Without it We will fall
into the Stagnancy and lack Of balance
that develop when the spur Of compe-
tition is removed. If We are to have
monopoly or price fixing it is only fair
that We have it in all lines. With
monopoly in all divisions of endeavor
the free play Of economic forces will no
longer prevail"
IF the argument is sound as to OIL"
argues the Philadelphia Evening Bull
letin at is applicable to other pro-
ducing fields, first in those which are
directly competitive with oil. and in
principle to others And if the argu-
ment be sound. price-fiXing by govern
mental mandate may be regarded as
the logical complement of govern
mental power to regulate private busi-
ness enterprise as to wages, as TO hours
of employment. as to competition in
marketing. If the program of N. R. A.
is competent up to the point Of price
fixing, the fundamental argument for
this further step is fairly well estab-
sion of Government power 1t has not
proved entirely satisfactory in the
limited range of public utilities, and
the problem of Government regulation
of such service is SO far from being
solved that there is continuing temp
tation to resort to undesirable Govern
ment ownership. If Government regu-
lation is to be extended to all pro-
ducing and distributing enterprises and
Government price fixing is to follow OH
such regulation, Federal Government Is

Editor Vizetelly on
The Use of "Chiseler"
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
Thank you for your generous criti-
cism Of my work in regard to the word
"chisel" as presented In The Evening
Star Of October as.
Incidentally. will you allow me to
point out that I am quite In agree
ment with you as to the course that
the language takes. It rises from the
people. They create the vernacular and
the slang of the time. 1t Is left to the
higher-ups 70 accept or condemn these,
according to the degree Of their educa-
ton. In course of time, some slang
words acquire a certain degree Of re-
they keep, and 1t Is through the de-
grees of low, vulgar, slang and COL
loquialism that many of our words
travel, finally to attain position in the
literary language. Is it not very much
the same with the people? Are we not
born helpless little pigs, and don't we
develop step by step until road hogs
flourish and end-seat hogs obstruct?
My good friend, the late Prof. Bran
der Matthews. once said to me: I'm my
Judgment, Mark Twain and Rudyard
Kfpling are the writers Of the best Eng
lish we have today; their use OF slang
is wonderful, and they have made it a
part Of the literature Of the period"
After all, the speech Of the people,
whether it be in Washington or New
York, in London or in Rome, Is the
real language, Of which the literary
form Is but Sublimation. When slang
becomes field too gigantic to be sup
believe it will be, they will plead for
its legalization from the fear that the
age in which they live will be branded
by posterity with jabbering broken
dialect rather than speaking a ner-
vouS and dignified language. With
this view scarcely agree, for whether
we like 1t or not, none Of us can dis
place the Genius of the Language whose
chief duty Is to watch over the purity
Of our speech.
As Margie sat down at the table for
dinner she surprised her mother by
saying, Nom, I am not stuck on this
bread" "Margie," replied her mother,
you want to cut that slang out"
That's a peach Of q way to correct the
child" Clipped in father. Il know"
said the mother but just wanted to
put her wise" From the foregoing you
may deduct that every one Of the words
used Is a respectable word, entitled to
place in any dictionary but combine
them in the way they have been COM
bined in this case and you get col
loquial speech.
When the Associated Press telephoned
to me about the Presidents use OF the
term, I saw a delicate applications
preference over cheat and swindler In
that a chiseler is one who trims to
fit. Trimmer" has a more offensive
connotaton among US, but the man
who chisels of bit here and bit
there, so that no one will notice exact
ly where he has done so, was, believe.
the type the President had in mind.
