A Book a Day by BRUCE CATION
A New Life | of Wilson

A century from now, in all prob-
 ability. biographers will still be
 puzzling over the career of Wood- row Wilson. No American since Lincoln has letf them so rich & field to work. Grand, tragic mys- terious, a titanic mixture of great ness and pettiness--was there ever 8 life like it?
 "Woodrow Wilson," by John K. Winkler, is the newest biography of the war president. It IS straightaway, workmanlike Job, readable but superficial, outlining the main points of the mans ca reer but leaving the numerous val leys unilluminated.
 Yet MT Winkler has not been unconscious of the existence of these dark valleys. Indeed. they seem to fascinate him. over and over he returns to them. wilson, he remarks, gave every- thing but himself. He stirred mems | hearts as few in history have stirred them-but remained aloof, | lonely, misunderstanding and mis- undersood. He made himself tho symbol for the hopes of mankind and was unable to retain ordinary personal friendship. His weakness was interwoven with his strength in a manner almost beyond human understanding.
 Those dark places, those tragic mysteries, must await another Car l lyle--and we can hardly blame MT | Winkler for not being Carlyle. Meanwhile, the outline is presented here in competent Journalistic fash ion. Here is the record, briefer than we might like but essentially complete. We can do our own speculating.
 "Woodrow Wilson is published by Vanguard and sells for $3.50.

Roosevelt's Energy Is Amazing
BY RODNEY BUTCHER

cratic congressional majorities last fall. Evidence of this is to be seen in hotel 1obbies, night clubs and
 in two or three new and gaudy
 speakeasies which have opened up
 here of late.
 Secretary of State Cordel Hull
 uses an unusually gracious and easy form of bidding his visitors adieu. Come in and out" he says as you leave his office-instead of the
 conventional Come again" His sympathetic courtliness pleases everyone. Hull press con- fere1ces continue to be makked by his patient conscientious efforts to make some sort of answer to every question. Instead of terminating a conference and running, as his pre- cessors have done, he waits until the last shot is fired.
 Congressman Dirksen, who rep l resents Abraham Lincoln's old
 Illinois congressional district, be- gan his speech on. the farm relief
 bill with this story:
 After hearing all the debates on
 the bill under consideration I feel
 like the two chaplains who were
 lost in the Argonne. They were were coming over and airplanes
 were flying above them dropping
 bombs. They had gotten lost from their regular military organiza-
 tions. They were wandering around
 in mud and water of the shell holes. when they heard voice
 from a trench saying, "Who in hell
 led that ace?' The chaplains got up | and embraced each other and said,
 Thank goodness, we are among Christians"

 There's nothing mandatory in it. Everything is optional. And when-

 measure it would have to hold on tight until congress repealed or amended the act.

 Substantial savings on cuspidors obviously will be meade if Roose- welt continues appointing women to high office. Miss Grace Abbott, chief of the children's bureau, suggested the possibility the last time the
 bureau moved to new quarters and she found $25 or $30 worth of
 bright. shiny cuspidors within
 shooting distance in her own office. The entire children's bureau has always gone without cuspidors and will continue to do so.

There has been so Ss talk of recent weeks about the proposed amendment to the federal constitution limiting child labor that Senator John C. Blaekall of Hartford, former Waterburian, wants an investigation started in this state. The amendment has just been revived in several states after more or less desultory course through the nation. It was first proposed to the several Sates as federal amendment back in 1924. It was adopted by six states and rejected by |twenty-six. But this year the amendment has been given new lease on life.

 To-day we present a comparative table ot qualitative analyses of happiness and despair. Just rough outline intended to make you think, perhaps Here it is-select your column:

 do not mean that all lives can be so an- alyzed. It would be silly to think one may either may grow old gracefully or commit sui- eide. But I offer the tables as my impressions from the analysis of many human lives.
 There sermons in every pair of these components and books in the parallel columns, but 1 wish to point out only two or three im- portant contrasts.
 The emotion of anger is an impulse to fight or punish hurt. The emotion of fear is the impulse urge to escape the imminent threat danger. The natural reaction to either emo- iton is motion, that is fighting .ie antagonist running away from the danger Action, mo- ton satisfies or dspels the emotion just well in either event; that is, it makes no difference whether you fight run away, only so you DO SOMETHING immediately. If you just sit still and try to appear nonchalant the emotion burns you up before your time, wreaks a kind of grudge on your good health, upsets the ball. ance of your bodily functions

SOLDIER GROUP
TURNS AGAINST
De VALER R A

. DUBLIN, Aug. 81 GN.S0.-The
army council of the Irish Repub-
lican Army formally announced
its withdrawal of allegiance from
President Eamonn de Valera to-
day, pitching Ireland into further
political turmoil and creating an
acute situation.
The Republican Army bolted
from the ranks of De Valera's
supporters as a result of a raid
of several of it's headquarters
by civic guards.
The council issued statement
announcing the withdrawal of
allegiance, and declaring it con-
sidered the raids an indication
the government was taking
coercive measures against them.
The civic guards simultaneously
raided offices of the new Blue
Shirt" army of General Eoin
O'Duffy, seizing documents.

DUBLIN, Aug. 81 GN.SO.-
'There is no room for any blue
shirt dictatorship in Ireland!"
President Eamonn De Valera, of
the Irish Free State executive
council thus dismissed, in an ex-
elusive interview with international
News Service, the attempt of Gen.
Owen O'Duffy and his blue shirt
army to unseat the present re-
gime.
Discussing the situation with
unusual freedom, De Valera ad-
mitted the inherent dangers of
any dictatorship movement in
Europe at the present time. But,
he said, truly representative gov
ernments have no reason to fear
overthrow by any such means.
He said:
81 banned ODuffy's national
guard, because the purpose be-
hind it was that of seizing the
government and establishing a
fascist dictatorship.
"The blue shirt movement is
obviously a political effort.
cit is an attack upon demOc-
racy by soldiers known to
possess arms. Formation of
the national guard in itself was
bad, but it became actually
dangerous for public safety as
soon as it began demonstrating
it could not fail to lead to
violent clashes with Republican,
minded citizens who might also
have arms"

IN the previous Daily Worker

Voluntarily increased your quota
and went over the top. You set =
splendid revolutionary example to
workers throughout the country.
In the present campaign for
$4,000, however, when the Daily
Worker Is needed by all of ms
more than ever before, when our
paper Is In graver danger than
ever before, your activity 50 far
sets anything but good example
to workers in other cities.
AFTER IL weeks, you have raised
II only 6S.s per cent on your
quota. Will workers give to the
Daily? Yes. Section 2 has al
ready raised 1856 per cent on It's
quota Of $500. Section I, 1871 per
cent on its pledge of 800. In Sec
ton !, Unit 5, located In one of
the poorest downtown areas, in
creased its quota Of $50 to $500
and Is within q small amount OF
going over the top. Unit S, in ad-
dition, obtained new subs and es-
tablished IA new carrier routes.
If action Is taken, comrades, IL
workers are approached for con-
tributions, II affairs are held, as

'Longshoremen Win
Strike for More Pay

BALTIMORE, Md, Dec. AFTER
a brief but militant strike, longshore-
men on the coastwise docks here won
their demands for an increase In
wages to rs cents an hour and rec
ignition of the International Long
shoremen's Union "a F. of ID.
The strike settlement came after
the longshoremen had twice rushed
the pier in the face Of a strong de-
tail of police and had faced tear gas
and riot squads in their effort to
prevent the Commercial ALBANIAN, a
freighter, from unloading. During
the picketing on Friday, II strikers
were arrested when they arrived at
the pier by means Of scow brought
across the river from Locust Point
after battling $50 police.
The Marine Workers Industrial
Union was active in rallying the sea-
men in support of the strike, and the
strike settlement was undoubtedly
fastened by fear that the strike
would spread to the crews Of the five
ships in port. The union raised the
slogan of general strike in a leaf
let distributed to the seamen. The
crew Of the Texmar notified the
union Of its willingness to support
the struggle and asked for guidance.
The Industrial Union is calling a
North Atlantic Conference in Balti-
more on Dec. 9 and 10 to discuss the
recent strikes Of the seamen and
longshoremen and plan a program
for immediate action. The National
Bureau of the union will meet there
at that time also.

POliceAttack Youth
March for Jobs and
Relief in Detroit

DETROIT, Mich, Dec. 5.-More
than thousand young workers, Ne
gro and white, fought back against a
vicious police attack on q den1onstra-
ton before the City Hall for jobs
and immediate unemployment relief.
The demonstration was organi- by
the Youth Section of the Unen jyed
Council.
Six young workers were arrested.
Temporarily dispersed by the brutal
police attack, the demonstration re-
formed quickly, and moved forward
carrying banners and shouting slo-
gans for relief and unemployment in
surance.
Ten thousand spectators were drawn
TO the struggle with the police, and
many workers arrested by the police
were torn out Of their hands by the
demonstrating workers.
The workers then marched through
the business section of the city to
Grand Circus Park where a commit
tee was elected to protest to the Boys
Bureau against the attack, and to
demand relief for the youth.
