Il intend to speak on unemploy-
ment on the floor Of the House." Lun-
den said. Herbert Benjamin, Unem-
ployed Council Organizer who was sit
ting in, interjected, Don't you think,
Congressman Lundeen, that Congress
will act favorably on our bill only
when they are forced to do so by
mass preSSure?"
The Congressman didn't want to
make public statement about that.
But labor in Minnesota already has
spoken-and acted-on this matter.
The ranks of the working class, par
ticularly in Minnesota, are astir. They
'lected a Communist Mayor in the
town Of Crosby. In Minneapolis, in
Lundeen's district, they joined in the
Unemployed Councils agitation for
the Workers Insurance Bill until the
City Council of Minneapolis endorsed
it.
Son of minister, Representative
Lundeen was born in South Dakota.
He practiced law in Minnesota after
graduating from the state university
and soon he was serving two terms in
the state Legislature. In those days
he was a Progressive Republican,
closely associated with the LaFol-
lettes and the elder Lindbergh. He
was delegate to the Republican ma
tional conventions in 1912 and in
1916.
His anti-war record is unequalIed
by that of any other member Of Con-
gress.
His was the first voice raised in
Congress in defense of the Soviet
Union; he castigated woodrow Will
son for American intervention while
the doughboys we're still on Soviet
soil, at a time when such a position
meant being mobbed by red-baiters.
This 55-year-old lawyer Represen-
tative takes pride, however, in being a
practical politician. No doubt he
would strenously object to being &C
cused of opportunisn, but like other
public figures of the status quo, he
has more than bowling acquaintance
with the word expediency. He will
tell you it's a matter of principle with

AL, CWA Officials

Workers into AFL
Recognized Unions
to Fill All CWA
Skilled Jobs

NEW YORK-Arrangements by
which C.WA. and A. F. of L. officials
will collaborate to force all skilled
workers on C.WA. jobs to join A. F.
of L. unions, were concluded in a
meeting between executives Of both
groups Saturday.
The negotiations were carried on
between George Meaney, vice-presi-
dent of the State Federation of La
Dor; James Quinn, secretary of the
Central Trade and Labor Council;
Harry L. Hopkins, national admin
istrator of the C.wA. and A. H.
Schoellkopf, state administrator.
BY their arrangements, recognized
unions" will be asked to supply all
skilled workers for C.W.A. work in
New York.
Experiences on C.W.A. jobs in other
parts Of the country, notably in
Cleveland. Ohio, have shown that
such an arrangement with the A. F.
Of L. officials has resulted against
all independent and revolutionary
unions, and the establishment Of
'kick-backs" and job fees, which the
C.W.A. workers, employed for the
first time III years, have been forced
to pay into the union treasures.
Saturdays negotiations were con-
Quoted with only A F. of L. labor
officials. Representatives of indepen-
dent and revolutionary trade unions
were not consulted.
BY this maneuver workers who
have been dropped from the A. F. of
L. unions will be forced to fill the
unions treasures in order to be
eligible for employment as skilled
workers on C.WA. jobs.

Antelopes Are Among Most Deceitful
of All Wild Animals; Despise People

Visitors to ZOOS have nothing but
kind words and sympathy for n
group of animals on exhibit--the an
telopes. The graceful build, express
sive eyes and the dainty manner In
which they handle their food and step
around their enclosures perhaps is &C
countable for this. Yet the truth is,
says a writer In the Detroit News, that
there Is no single group OF wild AMI
mails more feared by their keepers and
of a more vicious and tr%eacherous ma
lure than these same creatures, be
they gnus. h~artebeests, waterbucks.
Blesboks, reedbucks, impalas, oryxs,
springbucks, kudus or any one OF the
dozen or more "gentle-eyed" gazelles-
There Ia hardly a zoo in existence
that has not recorded either serious
or fatal encounters with these AMI
mails.
Antelopes are among the most de-
ceitful Of all wild animals. They may
appear kind, gentle and lovable and
stir 1 desire on the part OF the spec
tator to pet them. Apparently they
are the personi1cation Of contentment
and t%rustfulness, but lurking under
their hide Is a lasting desire to kill,
which II likely to assert itself at the
most unexpected time This is n
lesson directors OF all zoos try to drive
