entation of demands to only one
demand-the demand for recogni-
ton of the A. A.
2-On the question Of united &C
ton with the Steel g. Metal Work
ers Industrial Union, which is the
desire of the mass Of the member
ship Of the A. A., as well as Of the
rest of the steel workers, the OPP
position leaders have not taken
definite stand.
3-The opposition leaders have
not yet shown that they are ready
to fight all down the line against
the Tighe-Leonard leadership, that
has in the past betrayed the strug-
giles of the steel workers. The rec
ord of the Tighe-Leonard leadership
in the recent struggles, such as
Clarion and Weirton, shows them to
be the agents of the steel COM
panies.
EThe opposition leaders have
not yet taken definite position on
the question of the election of broad
rank and file strike and negotia-
tons committees which alone would
provide guarantee for the carry
ing through of the policies and de-
sires of the rank and file.
The Board decided to undertake
Immediately an intensive campaign
in the various steel districts, CEN
tering especially in the key plants.
For this purpose there is to be a
mass distribution Of hundreds Of
thousands of leaflets and stickers, or
ganization of factory gate meetings,
mass meetings, the building of the
organization department by depart
ment, mass recruiting into the S.
M. W. I. u, the setting up Of new
locals, the issuance Of enlarged edi-
tions of the official organ of the
Union, the "Steel & Metal Worker"
The Board decided to endorse
basic economic demands put for
ward by the A. A. Convention,
namely:
For the 6-hour day, 5-day
week.
2-s1 per hour minimum wage
for common labor, all other trades
to be increased in proportion.
3-Abolition Of differential North
and South
4-For Unemployment Insurance
Bill H. r. 1898 now before Con-
gress.
5-Equal rights for Negro work
ers.
The Board endorsed these de-
nands as basis for joint action,
ton, emphasizing the need for
drafting in each locality the special
needs of the steel workers there and
placing in the center the struggle
against the increasing speed-up now
being enforced in the whole indus
try.
The Board decided to do every
thing possible to establish the unity
of the steel workers, assure the de-
velopnaent of the broadest possible
strike of the steel workers and the
guarantee of a successful struggle.
For this purpose the Board in
structed all its organizations, espe-
cially in the key plants where both

climbed into the back seat beside Miss La F1eur
when the introductions were completed.
Babette, he discovered on closer inspection,
was even more beautiful than she had appeared
on the stage He forgot to be embarrassed.
"You may not know me-" he said but know
you I've seen your performance nine times"
Babette laughed. 1t was a pleasant laugh,
like silver bells tinkling in the distance. so
you are the young lunatic the girl at the ticket
window was telling about. I don't know
whether it's safe to be with you or not. After
all, you apparently have a tendency toward in
sanity, and your eye Is black"
Percval blushed He had forgotten about
the memoir of his alteration with S2atch Halli-
han. "Oh, that? a mere scratch. You see,
was returning home from the theater last eve
ming when three vicious thugs attacked me- I
third escaped"
Mike snickered "I believe the boy could do
it tonight" he unused.
"I know I'm afraid to be with you now" the
girl declared When she rolled her dark eyes
that way Percival kept his blood pressure un-
der control with difficulty. "Caveman!"
The talk shifted to this and that, dancing
swimming do you swim, Mr.. Madison?"
Babette wanted to know.
Percival was still in the grip of his reckless
moon He smiled condesoendingly "Oh,
swim some, but diving is really my sport. They
wanted me for the Olympic team, but I couldn't
get away"
As you may have suspected, Mikes wine was
very old and very mellow.
The girl gasped audibly. "You must give us
an exhibition tonight. The Myerses have
splendid pool"
Percivals heart sank Exhibition! He'd
never been in a pool in his life. He couldn't
quite see way to wiggle out of the situation.
A black eye would scarcely disable champion
diver.
Percival had just got into his suit when
Myers spotted him and came trotting over.
Percival looked for place to hide, but found
none. "Babette has just been telling me that
you've agreed to put on an exhibition. Unfor-
tunately, our diving board is only 10 feet above
the pool hardly high enough for champion
ship demonstration

The long line by no means stops there The
State chairman, the county chairman and the
city political leaders and the national chair
men and chairwomen, and others in the high
councils of the party in that particular State
would not be outdone in politeness or hospitality
to a President.
Considering all this it is not difficult to see
that train of cars of tremendous length would
be necessary to accommodate every one, if all
the requests were granted But as in the case
of the local receptions during a presidential
visit, these requests are attended to by the
Presidents secretaries before such journey is
entered upon. First of all, the average presi-
dental train would not hold any such army
of people. Moreover, President has
given any indication that he would care to
have that many people travelling with him.
IT IS true that President when travelling out
through the country enjoys brief periods of
conversation with small number of people
from all sections. so as to receive from them
a frst-hand impression of local conditions, po-
itical, social, economic and otherwise FIRE.

- United States shrunk to abnormally low
levels than any other July in the rs years the
Weather Bureau has been functioning Never
before has there been such general drying up
of the streams lying in the vast area East Of
the Rockies and West of the Appalachians.
The trouble began with light snowfall last
Winter which, Of course cut back on the store
house of moisture in the mountains, which
der normal conditions would keep the streams

off, the usual heavy Spring rains failed to

Normally the Mississippi River at st. Louis
reaches its highest stage from April to July.
July, however, was the high-water month in

1907 1909 and 1924 The lowest stages usually
occur in Winter, when low temperatures freeze
the tributary streams to great depths, cutting
off the water supply. Below-zero stages have
been common in Winter, but previous to Au-

account of the dry weather, there had never
been below-zero stage in any but Winter

knew what that meant. He'd read in the
papers about gangster murders. A wave OF
cold fury gripped him. So they planned to

ditions over this area. Low water levels have
prevailed there since 1890 In June 1929, the

Since that time, 1t has not been bankfull al
though in May, 1888, 1t reached a stage Of

at st. Louis.
Unprecedentedly low stages have prevailed

Is below zero, while in March it was "a below
zero.
The low stages of the Mississippi and its
tributaries are particularly serious Mr.. Hayes
says, because the normal season of heavy rains
in the valleys of these rivers-April, May, June,
and July-is now past. Only a protracted
period of heavy rains could bring conditions
back to normal and even were these rains to
come continued wet weather would be neces-
sary to keep the rivers at their normal stages,
as the added water would soon go to replenish
the low water table of the surrounding country.
The Colorado River. emptying into the Gulf
Of California, and watering the Imperial Valley
by diversion, is exceptionally low now, and the
water shortage along its lower course is becom-
ing more acute every day.

ayers is shown in granting such privileges. 1t
is common sight during presidential trip
in campaign year to nearly hundred
men and women of supposedly political in
f1uence and other importance riding on the
Presidents train from one station to another
There is really humorous and in some re-
spects a rather pathetic touch to such gath
erings. They are generally herded aboard and
after a quick handshake with the President
while he stands either the rear platform or
in the drawing room of his private car are hur-
ried on through to the cars ahead to either sit
mill around, and otherwise entertain them
selves until the long train arrives at their
getting-of place. On such occasions the two
or three leaders of these big groups are invited
by the President to remain back in his car.
However, every one in the crowds seem proud
and happy even though they were in the pres
ence of the Chief Executive for only heeting
second. Being mere humans, they will talk
