in a few minutes unraveled the

He wrote an order, and on the

a week in the country.
That was the turning point.
Spiritually I was made over. Once

Under hot challenge of the ma
jority, however, the group con-
coded that under the circum-
stances the union could not af-
ford to stand out against the
President. But they insisted that
in bowling to his pressure two ex-
plicit reservations be made:
l. That in agreeing to the
truce the workers we're not
binding themselves against TAX
ing to the picket lines again,
if, in their opinion, the terms
of the agreement are not COM
pleteIy fulfilled.
2. That the walkOut be con-
tinued in full force until the
still silent mill owners declared
themselves regarding the Presi-
dents proposal.
These demands we're voted
down. Old-line leaders took the
position that the wisest course
was to give immediate and I'M
unqualified assent, thus putting
the situation squarely up to the
President and the employers.
But. although conservative
leaders triumphed Tor the Presi-
dent. they nursed a secret COM
plant against him.
On the day following publica-
ton of the Winant board report,
Roosevelt had gone over their
heads and appealed directly to
the striking workers to return to
their looms. This was resented.
And although conservative labor
carried the day, its leaders are a
little less inclined to do so next
time.
IN a CCC camp up in northern
i New York is a young foreman
who has ample reason to remem-
Der Mrs. Roosevelt. In fact, he
still exchanges occasional letters
with her.
He first got to know the first
lady last summer when she was on
a motor trip, and he attempted to
panhandle the price of a lunch.
Mrs. Roosevelt, as frequently hap
pens, began to ask questions.
"All I want is chance to
work" he told her.
Mrs. Roosevelt had heard this
before. Apparently, however.
there was something about this
youngster which convinced her.
for she said:
Here is my address and a dol
lar. Bring this card to my house
tomorrow and I'll see if can get
you some work"
The next evening rather late.
Mrs. Roosevelt was sitting in the
ancestral home at Hyde Park
when a secret service operator
came in.
~THERE'S a man outside who

Mrs. Roosevelt" he said. He

first lady.
And. after a little telephoning,
she arranged an opening for him
with a CCC camp in northern
New York.
BY this time, however, it was
late. So. much to rhe surprise OF
her guest. she told him that he
could stay all night.

DOckers Dust
Scabs From
Hiring Hall

PORTLAND, Ore, Aug. 3.-Union
longshoremen have made it under
stood that only union men shall
get jobs through the so-called neu-
trail hiring halls that were estab-
l1shed following the settlement of
the west coast strike.
One hundred and fifty union
longshoremen drove 40 scabs from
the hall today. The union men
were attacked by large detail of
police who were summoned for
early duty because of the visit of
President Roosevelt.
The hall was ordered closed by
Police Captain Harry Niles and nc
further efforts were made to hire
longshoremen during the day.
The clash between the union men
and the scabs occurred when the
scabs banded together and attempt
ed to march on the hall. Scabs at
tempting to hide through the halls
by coming there individually were
stopped by the union men.
Although the hall is called "neu-
trail" by the shipowners the long
shoremen have made it a point that
no one but union men will ship
through it.

DETROIT, Aug. B. Results of
the recent balloting in the company

large proportion of the ballots were

Every one of the 5000 workers at
this plant was compelled to vote
under threat of losing his job. The
candidates consisted of superinten-

supposed to count the ballots. but
only one OF the workers was pres

done by superintendent and fore
men.

Plan Terror
InNew Jerse,

VINELAND, N. j.. August g. -
Terrorism similar to the wrecking
"vigilante" gangs that ran amuck
against workers organizations on
the Pacific Coast is being organized
here with the open cooperation Of
the authorities headed by the Mayor
Samuel S. Gassell.
A committee to Combat Commu-
nism" was formed after meeting
of rich farmers with the Mayor in
City Hall, with elements active in
the Ku Klux Klan participating.
This is the scene of recent at
tempt to lynch Donald Henderson,
organizer of the Agricultural and
Cannery Workers Union, who was
active in the recent successful Sea-
brook Farms strike.
Alarmed at the growth of the
union, the rich farmers here, led by
Seabrook, wealthy farm owner, are
attempting to incite the smaller
farmers against the union and all
working class organizations, partic-
ularly the Communist Party.
Vivian Dahl and Elinor Hender-
son were the subject of an attempt
ed dynamite frame-up recently when
"vigilantes" left a parcel of dyna-
mite in their garage. Wholesale
arrests of active union workers have
been taking place under the direct
Indictment of Seabrook, who con-
trolls the political life of the entire
county.
