1t is claimed that the agreement

DETROIT, Mich, March 80.

through the Hudson Gratiot
body plant yesterday, crash

cents to 81 and $1.05 per hour. With
other departments preparing to
strike, the company today raised
wages for practically the entire
plant to head of a general walk

Two thousand workers were in
yolved in the strike actions yester-
day. There are about 1000 in the
entire plant.
The strike action, in which the
Auto Workers Union members, and
A. F. Of L. members, as well as I'M
organized workers, joined hands,
comes as a mighty answer to the
A. F. of L. leaders sell out in Wash
ington.
Describing the action in depart
ment 3760, which was the first to
strike, one of the workers said,
quoting phrase from the Auto
Workers Union leaflet distributed
Wednesday night and yesterday:
1--WE took matters into our own
hands"
The men set up their own COM
mittee and refused to start the line.
After two-hour stoppage they won
an increase in the base rate of from
AZ to so cents an hour, and in per-
centage from 2o7 to 210.
Spreads Rapidly.
The strike spread quickly to de-
partments 3730 and 1905, where
similar increases were granted. This
was followed by action in depart
ments 1860, 1880, 1865 and 1888,
which gave the company until eight
this morning to come across. De-
partment $40 also decided to fol-
low suit.

nounces this decision with a big
streamline: "Union membership
barred at plant" The enrolment OF
members took place during the big
swing into the unions last month by
workers moving around the plants
and signing up members while
others did their work. This ruling
bars this chief method of organiz-
ing the workers.
The companies do not need to
move around but enroll the workers
automatically into their unions when
the men apply for jobs. Since the
big shops are still largely unorga-
nized, and with sentiment growing
against the A. F. of L. leaders, the
ruling is intended to hit at the Auto

President Franklin D. Roosevelt
frankly discusses the frequently
raised question, "Is there a revo.
lution?" in the foreword of his
book, "On Our Way" released to.
day by his New York publishers.
The President wrote:
eff there is q revolution, it is
. peaceful one, achieved with
out violence, without the over
throw Of the purposes Of eStab-
hshed law and without the de-
nial Of just treatment to any
individual or class.
"SOme people have called our
new policy 'Fascism.' 1t Is not
FaScism because its inspiration
springs from the mass Of the
people themselves rather than
from . class or . group or .
marching army. Moreover, it
Is being achieved without a
change in fundamental repub-
hcan method. We have kept
faith with and in Our tradi.
dOnal political institutions.
"SOme people have called it
"COmmunism,' it is not that
either. It Is not a driving regi-
mentatiOn founded upon the
plans Of = perpetuating direc.
tOrate which SubOrdinated the
making Of laws and the
processes Of the courts to the
orders Of the executive. Neither
does it manifest itself in the
total elimination of any class
or In the abolition Of private
property"

lie messages of the past several

re-routing plan is therefore completely proper.
Such committee would be of invaluable assistance to the
Commission and to the company both of which want give

Traits of Wine
And of all the moving story
the part that makes it so real
is the statement by one of the
eminent surgeons that the skull
of the boy king, Edward the
Fifth, had a tear duct abb
normally large. And one can
only conclude" remarked the
great surgeon, that this lad,
cut off from relatives and
friends, thrown into the dark
tower, abandoned to despair,
subjected to no man knows
what brutalities and mistr2at-
ments, had, literally, cried his
eyes out"
Julian Street has turned out
a delightful book on Wines,
Their Selection, Care and
Service" Mr.. Street finds that
good wines have traits almost
human. They get tired. They
become bad.tempered when i'll
treated. They have distinct
personalities.
Many years ago, when Theo-
dore Roosevelt lay i'll in hos
pital,. Mr.. Street procured from
Delmonico's bottle of Tokay
wine, very old, very fine. He
took it to the ex-President, who
told him that the doctors
wouldn't permit him to drink
wine. He asked Mr.. Street to
put the quaint, green bottle on
the mantelpiece where he could
see it from time to time. AS
the years passed, and the
doctors still declined to permit
him to use any wine whatever,
he told Mr.. Street that he
would open the bottle when his
four boys came home from the
war.
But as Mr.. Street says in his
book: mot all the boys did
come home. One was buried by
the Germans when his airplane
was shot down. The others
were abroad, in uniform, when
their father passed away in
his Sleep"
And then, one day in the
summer following the death of
Theodore Roosevelt, a parcel
was delivered to Mr.. Streets
house. 1t was from Mrs. Theo-
dore Roosevelt and contained
the ancient bottle of Tokay
which Mr.. Street had given to
her husband years before. In
1927 the bottle was opened, and
it's contents are described by
Julian Street as Infinitely
delicate and sweet, and it's
fragrance had a sort of gentle
majesty"
