How Many Are Strikings

The overshadowing issue in the tex
tile strike today seems to be the
number of strikers. Estimates by
such disinterested observers as the
Associated Press indicate that both
sides are resorting to the strategy
of exaggeration. Francis J. German,
for the union, says that 100000
workers have quit. George A. Sloan,
for the mill owners, fixes the number
at $4,000. An Associated Press can
vass of the districts affected gives q
union estimate of about 278,000 out
on strike, and an employers estimate
Of about $4,000. The generals Of
the opposing forces are over 100000
apart in their estimates. There is q
difference of about 10000 In the es-
Inmates of those on the front line
reached by the Associated Press.
There is, Of course, a highly sig
nificant element in these contradictory
estimates. One Of the chief issues in
the strike is the recognition of the
national textile union, the United
Textile Workers Of America, as rep
resentative Of the workers. If the
union is, as a matter Of fact, repre-
sentative of the majority of the work.
ers, the employers will, in the end, be
forced to deal with it in the collective
bargaining over other issues at stake.
II not, the settlement of the strike, in
the end, will come through the peace
terms reached, as in the past, between
mill owners and the workers in the
individual plants. 1t is obvious that
the present strike call has been de-
signed as much to complete the or
ganization of the national union as
to settle some of the more tangible
differences relative to wages, working
hours and conditions of labor. If ap-
proximately 800, 900 is the agreed upon
total of textile workers, Mr.. Gorman's
estimate of those answering the strike
call would show that it has been
about fifty per cent effective. Mr..
Sloan's estimate would indicate that 1t
has not been above fifteen per cent
effective.
To date the strike has not been
the overwhelming success that union
leaders claim for it, nor has it been
the complete fizzle that the employers
would like to picture it. There is
much to be said for Mr.. Gorman's
forecast, however, of greater gains to
the strikers before the end of the
week. The organization of union
pickets for the mills still operating
and the drive of the union organizers
are just getting started. The dam
gerous development in this connection
is the probability of greater disorder as
the picketing Of operating plants be-
gins, with the inevitable clashes be-
tween union and non-union SYM
pathizers in the ranks of the workers.
The National Labor Relations Board
has apparently chosen to reserve what
ever effective steps it might take for
strike settlement until after the strike
has begun-instead of before. It is a
matter Of interest how much longer it
will delay those steps, now that the
strike is under way.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

The tiny mites that live in books
average reader ever sees.
Usually they are to be found with
in the front and back covers of books
left unopened for a long time.
They are after glue and paste, Of
course.
Minute quantities of these will
suffice them for lifetime of sus-
tenance.
They are of a pale tone, almost
paper colored. as BELTS a creature
living in books.
If crushed beneath the finger, they
are entirely blotted out, without
leaving so much as stain behind.
What can be the use of such things
u great Nature?
Must there be q use?
No doubt, if you were to ask the
mite, if there were any way of ask
ing, it would reply:
II live"
In darkness they have their being,
feeding upon the invisible bits of
paste, starch, and the like, left from
the binding process.
Perhaps they live off ingredients in
wood pulp, too.
No doubt these curious creatures
are book lice, rather than bookworms.
They are minute insects, greatly re-
sembling the aphides, or plant lice,
which gather in great numbers on
our rosebushes in early Spring.
The latter, however, are green, of a
really beautiful hue, whereas these
book lice are pale. practically white,
but so small as to give the appear
ance of some color, as seen scooting
along the inner cover of a suddenly
opened volume.
These insects, which belong to the
family Psocidae, are pale and louse-
like. One of them is named Atropos
divinatorius, and is a great museum
pest, eating INTO all sorts of relics.
These lice are wingless, which per-
haps is fortunate.
True bookworms, as far as we can
discover, are usually moths or beetles,
especially in their larval forms. Among
the true "bookworms" are the bread
beetle, so called, and the spider beetle.
The first goes by the scientific name
OF Sitodrepa panicea, the second, Pti-
nus brunneus.
Another real bookworm is the larvae
Of the beetle Anobium panceum, a
boring insect, which causes the
"weevily biscuits" one reads so much
about in literature of the sea.
1t also is responsible for some of
the worm eaten" furniture.
The larvae become the death tick"
or death watch" beetles.
X X
A human "bookworm" is defined as
one unusually devoted to reading or
studying books.
This definition seems to make diff
ference between the reading and study
ing of books and, of a truth, there is
a difference.
To read a book is one thing; to
study it, quite another. Some people
never study books and one may feel
that perhaps they get the most out of
them, after all. No one misses the
point of certain type of book so much
as he who must study every volume he
reads. This is the best way we know
to kill entirely one Of the best values
of literature-its entertainment value.
Reading for diversion has its place as
well as reading for information, Per-
haps the best reading is a combina-
ton, in which such information as q

The Nazis at Nuremberg.


lead to Nuremberg, the ancient and
picturesque Bavarian city which has
been chosen as the scene for the an
nual conclave of the mighty forces OF
Hitlerism. Under the personal eye OF
the omnipotent Fuehrer, now the un-
challenged master of the nation, be-
tween five and six hundred thousand
Nazi cohorts of all ranks and grades
are assembled to do honor to the
head of the state and before Ger
many and the whole world make i'm
pressive demonstration of the power
and unity of the National Socialist
movement which is the Third Reich.
This years vast rally is distin-
guished by the presence Of detach-
ments of the Reichswehr, symbolizing
for the first time the union between
the army and the Naz state-a direct
aftermath of the passing Of President
Won Hindenburg and Of the trans
mission of all authority, military as
well as civilian, to the hands Of Hitler.
Apart from the purely spectacular
events of a colorful week, with its
external trappings Of Nazi pomp, glory
and numerical strength, interest will
center in q series Of no fewer than
seven public addresses to be made by
Der Fuehrer on as many different
phases of German policy, past, pres
ent and to come. In a formal ac-
ceptance of Nuremberg's fervent well
come last night Herr Hitler promised
that before the week has passed into
history words will be uttered which
will challenge the worlds attention
and rivet Its gaze more intently than
ever upon the amazing adventure
which the Nazi Reich presents.
Presumably Der Fuhrer's speeches
will partake Of the nature Of an &C.
count of his stewardship to date and
a forecast of what he offers for the
future. That future is bleak enough.
At home and abroad Germany's out
look is grim in the extreme. The
Reich hovers on the brink of bank
ruptcy as far as its national finances
are concerned. Unemployment pre-
walls on an extensive scale, coincident
with the wreckage Of the export trade
on which the Reich's economic we'll
being so largely depends. How the
country's food supply is to be main
tanned during the coming Winter con-
jures up a grave question. AS the
tragic circumstances of the blood
purge" of June 80 established, condi-
tions even within the sternly disci-
plined ranks of the Nazi party are far
from stable. There are bitter rivalries
for Der Fuhrer's favor and for a share
in his rule. Hitler is enthroned, but
the elements of discord and distress
amid which he reigns are omnipresent
and menacing.
The world waits anxiously to see
whether with the acquisition of auto
cratic authority Hitlerism is minded to
mend its methods both in the direction
of moderation and liberalism at home
and in ways designed to conciliate
foreign sentiment. The Nuremberg
speeches should bring enlightenment
on all these scores. Adolf Hitler has
amply demonstrated his capacity for
leadership. His hold on the German
people is indisputable. He now has
his opportunity to show whether he
is also a statesman.

book has is impaired freely as one
reads for entertainment.
X X X
Most readers, avid or desultory, have
never seen a real bookworm, then.
This is just as well.
The tiny white things which scurry
along sometimes when we open the
pages of a book are merely interest,"
ing additions to Nature study.
Even in our books, we must study
Nature.
Nature sees to it that these bits OF
life, not quite microscopic, 1ntrude
themselves between the lines, or at
least, leaves.
As far as we can recall they do no
particular harm.
Mostly they will occur in volumes
left in Offices, where, despite the best
charwomen, dust is bound to collect.
Something there is, about such an
atmosphere, which seems to breed
them faster than elsewhere.
Perhaps this something is no more
than comparative infrequency OF use.
!, Even where books are not read In the
home. usually they are taken down
and busted every so often. AT least
they ought to be.
This dusting includes smacking OF
covers together, in a careful manner,
to remove the dust which will settle,
even in the most carefully kept home.
Even the modern vacuum sweeper can
not get all the dust, down to the last
bit. Even the best bookcases, with
their vacuum doors, fail to keep out
every bit of dust.
y \ \ X
Perhaps 1t is not so much the dust,
in office-kept books, as the fact that
they may be left undisturbed for
longer periods.
In such immobility lies the environ
ment which these tiny creatures OF
the dark prefer.
The well-ordered household does
not afford them this immunity. They
are likely to be brought out into the
light of day any time.
Just how do such creatures get
spread around the world?
OF two books, bought at the same
time, and apparently made much the
SAME way, Will bllC odAllO AAloO(AAoASS
and care and subsequently kept side
by side, one will be frequented by book
lice, while the other will be totally
free from them.
One may think they must be in the
books when bound up. 1t is something
like standing bowl Of water with a
bit of dry vegetable fiber in 1t. In

Of microscopic creatures, broadly
known as "infusoria," really pro-
tozoanS.
These living things, enormously
spoken Of sometimes as insects" come
into existence under certain condi-
tions, so well recognized that they can
be created at any time, and easily seen
with a microscope of so little as 100
power.
Do the seeds, or spores, or first
beings" of these minute things, re-
main in existence on the hay, or dried
lettuce leaf, or other material used?
Or do they stay in the water, until
called into being by the call for food
and growth set up by the juxtaposi-
ton of vegetable matter, which vari-
Gus microbes first break up into food
for them?
These are questions which perhaps
science cannot answer entirely to the
satisfaction of the inquirer. All we
know is that certain conditions bring
the creatures into existence. Perhaps
that is all we can know about book
worms, and book lice. The why and
! the wherefore is O closed book.
