On Situation

The Telegraph Messengers Union
filed complaint Friday with the
Regional Labor Board accusing the
Western Union Telegraph Com
pany of having discharged its
president, David Newman, for his
activities in connection with the
Union.
Newman, who has a record of
three years satisfactory employ
ment with the company as mes
senger, was discharged after he had
appeared twice at code hearings
in Washington, D. c., to present the
case of the employees at such hear
angs. Although he had followed
the company's rules and given no
tice to his office manager each time
that he was going to be absent,
Newman was Summarily discharged
on the return from his second trip
to Washington on May 7. The only
excuse given for the discharge was
chronic absence"
Fourth Person
Newman is the fourth person to
be discharged by the company for
activity in connection with the
Telegraph Messengers Union. Abe
Dubroff, the first president of the
organization, was discharged in
January, almost as soon as the or
ganization was formed and became
active In April, Julius Freshman,
a member of thu strike committee,
was discharged on the pretext that
he had failed to deliver a telegram,
and the Regional Labor Board has
refused TO order his reinstatement.
Louis Fucker, another leading menu
Der of the organization, was dis
charged on May ?, but was sub
sequently reinstated after he had
filed charges against the company.
Newman's discharge is obviously
q case of discrimination against
him for his union activity, as he
was discharged by his district OFF,
Cial for the hiring and discharging
of messenger boys, and after New
man had only worker for two
weeks in that particular district SO
that the district superintendent
knew nothing about Newman at
the time of his discharge except hiS
connection with the Telegraph
Messengers Union.

$500 HatterS On
Strike In N. Y. c.
W alkout Friday For
Pay Increases

Production in mems felt hat
shops in New York came to a halt
Friday, as $500 men and women
went on strike for higher wages.
The main demands of the strikers
are rs cents increase per dozen
hat finishing and the prices paid
in 1929 for trimming.
The capitalist press reporting the
strike lied when it stated that the
matters were making So day until
now, and that they were demand
ing SO. The fact of the matter is
that while the Bill of Prices signed
last year called for the SO a day
standard, the prices per dozen hats
were not high enough and as a
result the So day was only a fig
ure on paper. which hatters have
never seen in their pay envelope.

SIGN OF MANKIND
Scientist Says WhorI Of
Hair Distinguished Hu-
mans From Apes.
BY THOMAS r. HENRY.

The despised "cowlick" on the
crown of the head is a badge of the
human race.
It proclaims the wearer as human
and not altogether a throwback to
some remote tree-dwelling ancestry.
1t is a constant character in hu-
man beings and rare occurrence
in the anthropoid apes, according to
the findings of DR.. T. D. Stewart,
physical anthropologist of the Smith
Sonian Institute. Something of the
same nature is found in the orang-
utanS. but on the back of the head
and not the crown.
The "cowlick" is at a point OF
divergence. From this point the hair
streams out in all directions. which
makes it so difficult to control with
the comb, and such a vexation in
getting sonny ready for Sunday
school If the boys hair started from
the forehead and streamed constantly
rearward TO the back of the neck it
would be easier on mother-but not
quite so human. That is what hap
pens in the cases of the gorilla, the
chlmpanzee although the pat
tern varies somewhat-of the orang.
Man alone has "cowlick.'
x *
Examines Skins of
Animals and Men.
DR. Stewart has made preliminary
classification of the differences in
hair growth directions over the whole
body between man and different
members of the anthropoid family
essentially an unexplored field in
physical anthropology. He based his
study on the skins of 80 gorillas, 10
chimpanzeeS and Sc orangs, and on
observations of young men stripped
for physical examinations at the Y
NJ C. A He found as was to be ex-
pected. much in common. There
seems to be basic hair direction pat
tern for the group, from which each
animal has departed in various di-
rections. Man has gone farther than
any of the others.
While the "coWlick" is the most
conspicuous human divergence in this
field because it is constantly before
the eye, the halr direction pattern
of the back is perhaps the most
striking. The hairs start from both
sides and converge at about the mid
die of the spine. The back hair of
the anthropoids streams downward
from the back of the neck and the
shoulders. 1t might be considered as
q continuation of the hair pattern.
Most of the apes have a hair di-
vergence center on the wrist In men
this Is very rudimentary-altho
it is found we'll marked in certain
individuals. Such persons. in this
particular character, tend towards the

Workers in Coal Tar
Known to Develop Cancer.

hhOWh ~ DCNCiOp
1t has long been known that per-
sons who work with coal tar are espe-
cially likely to develop certain forms
of cancer. and these also have been
produced by tar injections under the
skin of mice.
Public Health Service workers, ac-
cording to a report of Dr. H. B. An
dervort, biologist of the Public Health
Service staff. have been able to pro-
duce the same results in mice by in
Iections of a chemical substance
known as dibensanthracene. which is
one of the constituents of coal tar
and apparently the cancer-producing
agent.
The experiments were carried on
with strains of mice which never de-
velop spontaneous cancers, leaving
little doubt but that the substance
itself is responsible Discovery of the
cause in this case apparently offers no
suggestions for cure.

WASHINGTON, June %. = The
height of the tourist season is at
hand but the White House, chief
objective of the visitors, is locked
to them.
The whole downstairs of the exc
cutive mansion is being converted
into an office, which will resemble
temporarily some Of the working
places the Soviets made of Russian
czarist palaces.
The reason in this case mas notl.-
ing to DC with Communism. 1t is
far more prosaic. The President
needs more room. So his office to
the mansion proper, while contrac-
tors enlarge the former.
When Mr.. Roosevelt returns from
his Hawaiian vacation, his desk will
be installed in the center OF the
formal blue room, scene of many
an important diplomatic visit.
The smaller red room next door
will house one of the presidential
secretaries, probably Louis Howe,
who will sit on chairs hallowed by
historic events and flick his cigar
cites into a marble fireplace which
was part of the White House when

A GOOD TALK

Critics of the new deal" and Mr.
Roosevelt will have to do considerable
searching to find out wherein he weak
ened his hold on the American people or
lessened the effectiveness of his program
as result of his radio talk last night
The President may make mistakes in
judgment on legislative or political mat
ters but he doesn't make any when he
sits at the microphone to talk to his fell
low-citizens. 1t is dollars to doughnuts
that the greater percentage Of his listen
ers last night sat back with a satisfied
feeling at the conclusion of his address.
He had spoken to them plainly and ef
fectively, using the language which all
could understand, and driving home his
points with illustrations which were not
difficult to follow. Using the i'm
pending alterations in his own business
office as an example of what he is try
ing to do under the general term of the
new deal'' was master stroke, COM
parable to the parallels of long ago.
His fellow-citizens, individually and
collectively, were asked to act as the
jury in judging his course, the answer
to be given at the polls in November, al
though he did not state that in so many
words
Republicans who have had hopes of US
ing the cry of "Fascism' Socialism" or
RECOMMENDATION" as the ammunition to
tear down the Roosevelt regime will be
foolish in the extreme if they use such
tactics. 1t won't work. Something more
sound than the mere cry of wolf is
needed. Efforts to smear Washington
with Moscow influence are not only go
ing to be futile but they are childish.
1t is all right to disagree on political
policies and theories but clubbing oppon-
ents reds and "soviets" because of
such disagreements doesn't make it true
that they are.
The Americanism of Mr.. Roosevelt
and his followers is as sound as the AM
ericanism of Mr.. Hoover or Mr.. Fletch-
er. Republican efforts to prove that it
is not will only further weaken the Re
publican party. A sounder attack than
that must be made in the opinion of
Republican editor if the Jury is to re-
turn a verdict adverse to any extent
toward the new DEAL"
