the question Of illegality of the

there are also open A. F. of L. strike
breaking elements who are raising
chauvinist issues to divide the native

Today's Detroit News features a
long story by Arnold Scott, who it is
rumored is a spy. This tool of the
manufacturers ostensibly attacks
Smith, but the purpose of the in
terview with this stool pigeon is
to attack the rank and file and. the
militant leaders in the MESA. The
stools and reactionary elements are
directing their efforts against the
popularity elected militant leader of
the production workers, John An
derson.
Smith, as it is natural for leader
of his type, who covers up his strike
breaking deeds with pious gestures
and left militant phrases, is tacitly
supporting the attacks made by the
reactionary A. F. of L. elements
against the militants in the organi-
cation. He raises his fists against the
militants in the MESA. but smiles
humbly and acts like q perfect gen.

reactionary chauvinist strike break

silent on the decisions of the tor

Employers operating under con.

more, employers must negotiate

take with them workers who want
to move to the new locations.
The decisions, charging viola

Unique 'Cobweb Art
Perfected by Boy, II
Student at Bethesda
Traps Beauty Of
Webs on Paper

Cobwebs may be anathema to
housewives, but to Eugene Meyers,
17.year-old Bethesda school boy,
they are fascinating "objets
dart"
Endowed with an imagination
far beyond the ordinary school
boy, Eugene decided recently to
discover way of making an i'm
preston of q Spiderweb.
1t was a task that would have
taxed the resources of many an
older student of natural science,
but Eugene, who likes nothing
better than puttering around in
laboratory, succeeded.
Method Is Unique
His method is unique and yet
comparatively simple.
First he has to wait for morn
ing after a heavy dew. Finding
a drop-laden spiderweb is easy,
then, because Eugene lives out in
Maryland, on Cabin John Road.
It's the next step that's hardest.
Taking a heavy piece of thick,
rough-coated paper, he sneaks up
behind an innocent, unSuSpecting
web, slips the paper in behind it
and then-zip-the web is his.
The tough part of the job is to
get the web caught on the paper
so it is not injured or disarrayed.
While the moisture of the dew
keeps the threads in their proper
position, he then sprinkles the
whole sheet with flour, tapping it
on the bottom very lightly at the
same time.
Design Shows on Paper
This forms coat of white paste
on the web which dries to the
paper after the thread is removed
and the dry flour is blown away.
The result is curiously surprising.
Eugene hopes the process will
have some sort of commercial

in a dark hallway and slept,
totally oblivious of the near-freez-

The nickel bought them some
pretzels this morning. Ducking
under a subway turnstile, Ernest
and Raymond rode to Bergen

to police, told a lieutenant a

had dropped them off in the
