By FRANK ROGERS

CLEVELAND, March 2e.-Ths

Gratis had to be on hand all Friday
night at the Fisher Body plant to
prevent strike this morning. The
local press reports that 1T Is OBJ
vious that the men want an imne-
diate walkout and are difficult TO
hold in line" They praise James
McWeeney, general organizer Of the
A. F. Of L.. and George McKinnon,
secretary Of the Metal Trades Coun-
ell. for the good job they are doing
in keeping the men from striking.
It is only by showing kilograms
from Washington and making
patriotic speeches plus threats of
firing any militant worker who re-
fuses TO obey the orders Of the bu-
reaucrats that they have succeeded
in keeping the men in the plant
One worker who innocently asked
how long their representatives
would stay in Washington was inn
mediately branded as a red Boil
shevik" and told to keep his mouth
shut. Highly paid bouncers and
thugs, heavily armed, stand guard
st all meetings to crack heads of
militant workers who demand &C
ton.

The Auto Workers Union has is
sued several leaflets at Fisher Body
plant calling upon the workers to
take action over the heads Of
the bureaucrats and elect a rank
and file strike committee. The
Young Communist League has is
sued a special leaflet to the young
workers. These leaflets have met
with so favorable response amongst
the men that the bureaucrats to-
day phoned the T. U. U. L. office
that IF you don't stop those
damn leaflets we will send you all
to the hospital"
The company has posted notices
that the hours have been reduced
from 40 to IS with wages at least

R.R. Labor Heads
Forced to Reject
Ten Per Cent Cut
Roosevelt and Eastman
Work With Board to
Get Commission


WASHINGTON, March IS. - For
appearance sake, the Railway La
Dor Executives yesterday rejected
Transportation Co-ordinstor East
mans proposal for a continuation
Of the 10 per cent pay cut six
months after June 30, the date Of
Its expiration.
The proposal coming originally
from Roosevelt expresses the real
wish of the railroad owners, around
which all the maneuvers Of both
the railway labor executives and
the government are centred. Each
rejection has been dictated by grow
ing rank and file militsncy and the
spreading sentiment for strike
among railway workers.
The Railway Labor Executives
this time are forced to go into more
complicated maneuvers in putting
through a continuation of the wage
cut than they ever have before. The
stringing along Of negotiations fol-
lows the action against the auto
workers. A compromise" VIII be
worked out after an apparent tussle
against wage cuts by the ralroad
labor leaders which, unless rank
and file action can stop Il, will be
favorable to the railroad bosses.
At present, Eastman and Presi-
dent Roosevelt are working with
the railroad labor executives to get
them to accept "fact-f1nding com
mission" whose decision would be
final This would give them a way
out and would lay the basis for con-
tir,nng the wage cut. The com
mission proposal has not yet been
accepted.

NEW YORK, March 26.-The

was now staring at Milly.
Cecily saw that he was doing his best to be
courteous to Milly. Really she wasn't his type
at all. Flamboyant, and not a grain of SYM
pathy. How did they ever happen to be to-
gether? Blind date, perhaps. But Milly liked
to go through all the gestures of possession,
nevertheless.
Not that he could mean anything to her. She
was supposed to be engaged to some boy she'd
met last Summer way of in-Maine. wasn't
it? Even now her blush diamond was glitter

something unintelligibe. and allowed Mily to
lead him out to the dance floor.

was bending his head politely to listen to
Milly'S chatter. Milly. of course. would have
no idea how constant talking bored a man of
that type. Cecily felt increasingly sorry for
him during the evening. until finally she found
herself in his arms. moving with him to
sentimental fox trot

chance to contrast her silence with Milly's
foolish speeches. His eyes were grayish as Phil

"You live her in Mllard, don't you?" he said
at last.
"Yes Oh, yes. I live here But let's not ask
each other all those questions that neither of us
wants to know. Other things about you are
much more important than where you live"
This startled him into looking at her, but
evidently the sight of her curling hair and tilted
nose reassured him. for he looked away again
Immediately. 1t was such a handicap not to
look unusual when one wanted to say unusual
things
1t was clear to her that she would have no
luck with him on the dance floor.
She said Lets go outside and walk down

"Of course" he said, eff you want to. If we
have time"
Absolutely no enthusiasm. Poor mani He
must have cared terribly for that woman who
had Tilted him. Cecily wondered how long
ago it had happened.
Glancing at him SidewiSe as they crossed
the porch and descended the terrace she found
that there was bleakness about him. in spite
of his physical health, which made her heart
quicken romantically. The night cloudy
and melancholy, an Appropriate setting for con-
fidences.
How you must hate U.s." said Cecily in
vibrant voice.

She noticed that at last she had his complete
attention.

to you"
But I assure you don't"
"Oh you needn't pretend to me. I know what
it's like, trying to behave naturally, trying to
mingle with other people, when all the

Her voice broke, throatily. A very good sound

this time and she walked out to the end of it,
