- PEAKING Of that famous poem "a
Cycle Of Cathay," how has this bicycle
craze affected your family? Up at our
place it's now a question Of wheels
within wheels. The conversation just
rolls along. We use every sort of pedal
except the soft pedal" and we got so many
bicycles of both sexes locked up in the garage,
which We built in the old days when people
used to have cars, that expect to walk IN any
morning and find they have mated and that
there are few ltters OF roller skates 1rlsKng

Pa came home the other night and announced
he'd bought a tricycle. And then. went out
and took look at it, all I seen was just q
straight two wheeled bike with the name writ
ten on it, 1.-The Hotcha Chaser"
That amt tricycle." says.
"Oh amt it?" says Pa. We'll, been trying
to cycle it fer three hours. Try cycle it
yourself!'
Sister Anne has got light blue affair, fe-
male of course, and it's gentle as lamb. 1t
stands without hitching, except when 1t gets
tired, folds itself around the hitching post and
sits down. It'll trundle along beside her by
the hour without barking-not even barking
her shins now it's got used to her. Wonderful
pets, these bicycles make The name of Sister
Anne's implement of travel is Little Wonder
and it's little wonder she got pinched for riding
it on the sidewalk. Why every girl who wears
practically nothing but them bicycle shorts and
a hair ribbon don't get pinched good and hard
some place is more than I can tell you. If
bicycle Is considered clothes enough, Heaven
help us, what will the girls leave off if they
ever take up silt walking?
Sister Annes young man has a bike, too.
He's got an ambulance siren on it, you know,
one of them false alarms that goes Wheuooooo
at you from behind and scares the bundles
right out of your hands. His machine is an
"Installment," and has a chain drive. He's
driven by the chain of installments. It's
secondhand model and he needs third leg to
run it. He tried to turn it in on motor cycle,
but the motor cycle was too heavy and smashed
three spokes on the front wheel. When the
case came up in the traffic court the judge
wouldn't let him have lawyer. Every man
his own spokesman in this case he decided.
Aunt Eata says she's taken up the new great
outdoor sport, but to me it looks more like
wrestling she's gone in for. was watching her
from the window the ether morning when she
was having little practice bout with her bike.
The cycle and Aunt Eata met, shook handle
bars, and went right into clnch. Ten seconds
later by my stop watch the Little Giant" as
her machine is called, had her down with one
shoulder on the ground. Aunt Eata managed
to lift the right shoulder and retaliated with
a scissors hold The bicycle struggled out of it
and got her in q half-Nelson. Aunt Eata sunk
her teeth into the saddle and locked her right
around the headlight. The Little Giant"

when it was licked, ran off down the hill, Aunt
Eata after it as fast as her weight would allow
and she was calling it things I was surprised
to find she had in her vocabulary

but she's been in on everything else ever since,
just try and stop her. So, naturally, when
bicycles came up. grandma had to have a
matron's model Hers is called the "Esmeralda"
and it's painted a nice dark shade of maroon
to match the color hair she's wearing this year.
Her bike has three wheels-two on the side
and a little teeney-weeney one in front. You

27O Girls Walk Out
Against American
Can Go. Wage Code

JERSEY CITY, N. J.-Police under
orders to keep union organizers away
from the 270 girls who walked out
spontaneously yesterday against the
proposed code of 80 cents an hour
presented by the American Can Co.,
attempted to arrest a Daily Worker
reporter on suspicion.
The walk-out was ACCOMPLISHED
without any outside leadership or or
ganization, a girl from each depart
ment was selected by the workers to
speak for those in her section. These
workers must elect a strong strike
committee to carry their demands to
the boss Of the American Can Co. if
they are to win wage increases and
better hours.
An official of the company speak
ing for Arthur Saalrach, superin-
tendent Of the plant and who refused
to be quoted, said that "the girls
don't know what they want. They
just read couple OF codes presented
by other factories in the same line
and decided they ought to get more
than our code proposed. It's just a
misunderstanding" he added, "the
girls will be back tomorrow"
When Saalrach's statement was re-
peated to Anne, an older and more
militant girl, she said, yeah, we'll
show him if we don't know what we
want"

AZ Delegates Attend
First Youth Steel
Conference in Penn.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Sept. 49,
Forty seven young steel workers at
tended the first Youth Steel Confer
ence held here on Sunday. The
delegates, representing $500 work.
ers, stressed the low wages and the
speed-up conditions with which the
young workers in the steel mills are
faced. Indications Of the militant
spirit of the steel workers were re-
ported by two delegates from the
Woolworth Foundry of Greensburg.
After drawing up program call
ing for minimum wage of SIS a day
on a 6-hour day and 30-day week,
no night work for youths under 81,
no discrimination against Negro and
young workers, two 15-minute rest
periods a day on full pay, and med
ical attention for female workers,
the delegates pledged themselves to
organize the young workers in their
plants around these demands. A
committee of Is was elected to un-
dertake the leadership of the young
steel workers, with the help of the
Steel and Metal Workers industrial
Union.
Among the steel mills represented
were the following: Woolworth
Foundry, Cones and Laughlin Ale
quippa, Southside, So Ho, Columbia,
Steel Central Tube, Shang Chalfant,
Mclintic Marshall, A. M. Byers, Ma
tional Electric, and Republic Steel.

der that Mr. Green Is nervous, that
the Executive Council is nervous. 1t
is because the bosses are nervous.
1t is because the government is learn
ing in Utah ana Mexico that even
Federal troops cannot stop the strug-
giles OF the min rs.
Some Admission en- NRA-And Why?
Mr.. Green and his colleagues also
speak about fighting for higher wages
and shorter hours. They already tell
the workers that the MIRA which Is
of course still good for the workers,
has not done as much as was ex-
pected. What else CAN they say to the
silk workers who are fighting against
the $13 code? But this is just for
public consumption. This is for the
purpose of gaining the confidence Of
the workers to carry through the old
betrayal. For we can ask Mr.. Green
whether or not he voted for the NRA
codes that were worked out by the
administration. He did He voted
for the steel code. He voted for the
open shop auto code. He and Lewis
have voted for and even demanded
the strengthening of the clause deal
ing with compulsory arbitration and
outlawing Of strikes. He has and is
fully supporting the attack on the
workers carried through with the aid
OF the NRA. Did not Mr.. Green and
Mcmahon vote for the s13 textile
code? They did. In fact It was prov
en- by the NRA officials at the cotton
hearing that Mr.. Mcmahon worked
out the $13 cotton code And today
is not this same Mr.. Mcmahon try
ing to send the silk workers back to
work without any gains? At time
when there are over $4,000 silk and
silk dye workers on strike, with the
entire industry tied up by the strike
But the workers voted unanimously
against the Mcmahon truce Not only
the workers organized in the National
Textile Workers Union and the indie
pendent unions but the workers or
ganized in the AT of L union voted
unanimously against the Mcmahon
truce.
Little wonder that Mr.. Green rush
es in with some sweet words that the
MIRA has not solved anything. The
workers, however, as can be seen from
the silk strike, will not be so easily
fooled at this time.

convention will be the largest since

All Strike Leaders
Held By Military
Authorities in Utah
Miners Retaliate By
Withdrawal of All
Maintenance Men

DENVER, Colo, Sept. 18.--An
strike leaders of the National Min
ers Union in the Helper, Utah, coal
strike, are still being held incom-
municado by military authorities.
No charges have been filed against
them. The purpose is to hold the
leaders while the military authori-
ties and company gunner try to
drive the men back to work
through reign of terror.
Attorney Robert LaFonette of
Albuquerque filed writ of habeas
corpus in the Federal Court at
Santa Fe.
All newspapers in this vicinity
are featuring the wire of protest
sent by the international Labor
Defense, by its secretary, Patter-
son, to Governor Blood of Utah
and Governor Seligman of New
Mexico.
The strikers are swiftly retailiat-
ing against the terror by ordering
the Withdrawing of all maintenance
men at the mines and cancelling

RFC Negotiating
S5O,OOO,NOO Credit
To the Soviet Union

NEW YORK - Negotiations are
now going on between the Recon-
struction Finance Corporation and
the Amtorg Trading Corporation of
this city to arrange a s5OO00,O00 to
10000 loan to the Soviet Union.
The R.F.C. is ready to grant the
loans, it is reported, but final agree
ment on details has not yet been
reached, although announcement of
agreement is expected soon.
The Government, through the
RF.C. is eager to get some of the
vast purchases which the Soviet
Union has been making in other
countries. The Soviet Union is now
considered to be one of the richest
markets in the world. If it were per-
mitted to place its huge orders for
machinery and manufactured articles
in this country, it would create thou
sands of new jobs, it was said.

This will mean wholesale firing of
the several thousand steel workers
who were hired during the summer
months to take care of the recent in
flationary squirt in steel production.
The analysis made by steel con-
firms the analysis which the Daily
Worker has been consistently max
ing of the steel boom" Steel ad-
mits that the recent bulge in pro-
ducti0n which ran along for several
months was in great part due to
stocking of steel in anticipation of
higher prices" not because of any
real demand for steel products.
The outlook for steel production
is made even more disastrous by the
fact that the two basic consumers of
steel, the railroads and the building
construction industry, are not plac-
ing any orders. New buying is "yir-
tually absent" steel" says.
The steel backlog of accumulated
orders is now at point where only
once before in the history of steel
production has it ever been so low.
at the recent low point of the crisis
in April
Present developments point to a
decline in steel production which will
smash through the all-time low made
last year of IL per cent of capacity.
Steel men admit the possibility of a
new low being made this winter.

thousand.
In this connection It is worth
while to note that the building trades
unions that have expelled hundreds
Of thousands Of members in the last
four years for on-payment Of dues,
have in the last weeks also tried to
pad their membership and have be-
come more 1enient towards the un-
employed and have even reinstated
some membership. This, as can be
seen, was part of the little family
fight in the top leadership of the
American Federation of Labor.
Actual Growth Of A. r. Of L.
What are the actual facts as to
the recruitment into the A. F. Of L.?
The figure Of 100000 new members,
which we estimated and made pub
lie some time ago, as against the
original figure Of a million, which
Green boosted about, 1t is, without
doubt, correct. OF this number,
more than 100000 we had allotted to
three industries mining, textile and
needle. But we can add that many
Of these new recruits in these indus
tries do not yet consider themselves
part Of the A. F. Of L. and some
have already fallen away. This is
to be seen from the fact that the
majority Of the newly organized min
ers are not paying dues. Not all are
actual members. They merely signed
a card giving the U.M.W.A. the right
to represent them in the negotia-
lions. These same miners are now
again on strike, despite the wishes
Of Lewis and Green.
In the textile industry the silk
strikers throughout the country,
numbering some $4,000, have COM
pletely repudiated the A. F of L.
leadership. Here we already witness
a falling off Of membership in the
A. F. Of L. union.
As for the basic trustified indus
tries Of steel and auto, the. A. F. Of
L., while gaining some membership,
has hardly made any serious i'm
preston. Aside from this the A. F.
Of L. Council does not state how many
workers have left the A. F. Of L.
since last October, but merely state
that 100000 will have been added
since the last convention.
Furthermore. there has already
been distinct slowing down Of the
trend for organization into the A. F.

Freight Trucking
From Philadelphia
Paralyzed by Strike

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Sept. 49,
One hundred million dollars worth
of merchandise and perishable goods
are estimated to be tied up here as
the result of the strike of several
thousand truck drivers and helpers
engaged In interstate shipping.
The strike, under the leadership
of the Brotherhood of Transporta-
ton Workers, broke out when the
Operators rejected the demands of
the workers for a minimum scale of
$35 to $3.50 and 40 to 42-hour
week. The men had been getting
from $35 to $525o for a 48 to 54-hour
week.
. A. F. of L. union officials offered
to submit the question to the arbi-
.tration OF the National Labor Board.
