warm up. He was crossing the lobby
of the hotel when he spied Doyle sit
ting alone in one Of the big armchairs
in the lobby. He wasn't sure. but he
thought Doyle had smiled at him in
recognition. Curious, If true. He was
inclined to 60 back, but could not be
quite sure what Doyle's smile might
mean. Did he smile in recognition or
did the smile mean that Doyle was
rather satisfied with the beating he
had given Terry down at Tony's?
Terry knew that Frances Clark and
Sid Reynolds, the Brooklyn sports
writer, would be coming in imme-
diately anyhow. He had seen them
in the dining room; they were having
dessert and coffee when he left.
Terry fingered just inside the lobby
until all the players had left. The
doorman gave them the preference,
anyhow, and he had plenty of time.
From the corner of his eye he saw
Frances and Reynolds pass Doyle with
just Q nod of recognition.
Ten minutes later he was on his
way. His cab was racing along q
street which had been deeply ditched
for q sewer or some work of that
sort. There was a great gaping hole
on the right-hand side of the road.
The brakes of the cab were jammed
on suddenly and for one sickening
moment Terry felt the cab sway and
then come to a dead stop. There
was q terrific traffic jam on ahead,
with people running excitedly about.
Must have been an accident" the
driver said, and started backing up,
while Terry slung to the side of the
car in terror as the rear wheels
seemed to sag over the edge of the
ditch The cab swung across the
traffic and was blocked by oncoming
cabs.
"Damn" the driver exploded.
They've got me hemmed in now,
boss. can't get out"
1T may clear up in q minute, +"
Terry suggested hopefully.
Nav. There's q wrecker, an ambu-
lance and a police car up there. Was
you going to the game? It's only a
couple Of blocks away If you want to
walk It,"
4cIIy pdl0 Ills IdTc ana SIdI tcu
ahead. He reached line Of curious
spectators who were watching a
wrecker lift taxicab out of the ditch.
Terry tried to press on, but was
stopped by husky policeman. Terry
showed him his newspaper card.
ITS no use and there's too many
up there, anyhow" the cop replied
We'll, can't you tell a fellow what
happened?"
Sure. A taxicab went into the
ditch"
Anybody hurt?" the man next to
Terry asked
Now, how would I know2 Am I
up there? You can see as much as
I can. II your car ran into the ditch,
don't you think maybe you would be
hurt q little?" The crowd grinned at
the cops speech.
Evening star., 1934-09-18

Terry, with q momentary shiver as
he remembered his own cab swaying
to q halt beside the ditch, sidled along
the line which the police were holding
back. The cab was pulled free from
the ditch and the horrible work of
taking out the victims began. The
front Of the car was smashed In, the
top was pressed down over the drivers
seat and the sides were buckled. They
pulled the driver out first and then
q blow-torch was used on the hinges
Of the door and the other occupants
were lifted out to the street.
Terry looked at his watch. There
was still plenty of time, but he hated
being held up. Across the street from
the wreck a new building was going
up. Terry worked his way into the
building, picking his steps carefully
so as to avoid falling into the cellar.
In the rear Of what would be the first
floor Of the building they were pouring
the concrete floor. The workmen
were all out on the street edge looking
at the accident; that is, all but one
Of the workers, and Terry wondered
why he OF all men should show such
lack Of interest. He was ramming
something under the concrete mix
ture and Terry supposed it was one
Of the steel reinforcing rods which
are used for that purpose. Terry's
precarious path led him toward the
solitary worker, who looked up startled
when Terry's step on a board dis
lodged something that clattered into
the cellar below.
I'm not used to this" Terry said
and grinned. But 1t is the only way
can get around the police. want
to get to the game"
The man said nothing, bent his
head and went on smoothing the
cement. For a moment Terry con-
sidered and then went on. That man
had seemed vaguely familiar. There
was something about him and yet he
was obviously an Italian, and to Terry
all Italians of the slim dark type with
busy browS looked alike.
1t was a corner building which he
had crossed and he made the street
away from the accident, walked round
the block and reached the field In
about minutes.

A. & P. Store Tries to
Cheat on Relief Order

CHICAGO, ILL.-Workers of Chi
cago must be on guard against the
trickery the managers of the A & P
stores are using, in order to cheat the
workers out of few dimes of their
starvation grocery orders, forced from
the Cook county relief bureau.
A worker who is on relief entered
an A & store at SAB East 35th st.
and ordered some groceries which the
clerk placed on the counter. The
worker handed the clerk the grocery
order she had just received from the
relief bureau. The clerk asked her
her receipt. The worker demanded
that she get a receipt so she would
be able to keep up with the amount
she spent. The clerk then called the
manager, who also refused to give a
receipt for the groceries she had
received, and demanded that she
come back in the morning.
The worker left the store that
night and came back in the morning.
The manager had her receipt made
out with 20 cents more than she had
spent. The worker refused to accept
the receipt, and stated that "she

By n. HONG
The very appearance OF shop
paper in the huge Bathlehen Steel
Works in Bethlehem, Pa, one of
Schwab's domains, is significant news.
1t is to be hoped that Vol. /, No. 1 of
this paper will be rapidly followed
by No. 2, and that serious attempt
will be made to build, improve this
paper and keep it going.
The Steel Worker consists mainly
Of items describing conditions in the
plant. They are excellent items
One of them exposes the bonus sys-
tenn in the mills; another is fine,
concrete exposure of the N. R. A. and
the steel code, telling exactly how
they operate against the interests OF
the workers in the Bethlehem Steel
plant. This is the kind Of exposure
that is a thousand times more effec-
tive and valuable than mere general
name-calling.
There is also good expose of the
Amalgamated Association, the A. F.
Of L steel union, giving the example
Of the Weirton sellout strike, and the
part the A. A. played in the Warren
strike. This is important in view of
the fact that the A. F. of L. is or
ganizing in the steel plants.
Should Explain What Party Is
In this, the first issue of the shop
paper, there should have been an
explanation of what the Communist
Party is, what it stands for, how it
fights for the workers. There is very
little reference to the Steel and
Metal Workers Industrial Union and
it is referred to as S. M. I. U. mys-
ferrous letters which mean nothing to
those workers who have never heard

NEW YOR CITY.-A great Christ
mas tree in the welheated lobby of
the Park Central Hotel, West 55th St.,
decorated with various shining OBJ
jectS and softly Illuminated by small
electric bulbs; on top of which a
silver-lined placard wishes you a
Merry Christmas. Soft cushions
awaiting the tired" guest to give
him comfort and relaxation in an
atmosphere of peace and quiet; this
is the description of a swanky ritzy
hotels front entrance; mockingly
contrasting, the situation in the back,
where the workers are sweating and
Shaving to maintain that comfort for
a few; where walters are working
IA hours a day at NO wages at all.
The story of such a days work and
no soft cushions are waiting for us.
Is it any wonder then, that a certain
restlessnesS is evident; a ferment was
brewing amongst them, against these
unbearable conditions. A ferment
which until now successfully was kept
in check by the bureaucratic officials
of the Amalgamated Food Workers
Union.
Again and again the workers de-
manded from them that action
should be taken, and although hun
dred per cent organized, they refused
to take any steps to help the workers
win better conditions. Until at last
