Armstrong Co. Cuts
In LinOleum Plant
BY a Worker Correspondent

LANCASTER, Pa. Lancaster
workers employed in the Armstrong
Co. linoleum plant, many of whom
had a good deal of faith in the N.R.A.,
feel the effects of it now.
A few days ago the management
announced that due to lack of orders,
they would have to put the men on
four days work every other week.
This means two days work per week.
One worker (whose name we don't
want to disclose) and who has been
in the mill good while, draws $25
for two weeks. He has a family of
five to take care of, including an
aged mother. When he is put on
four days eevry other week, how
is he going to feed his family?
The workers in the Armstrong Co.
now have a different conception of
the MIRA.

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS

ANSWERS III QOESl1ON
First Mate
A Worker, Bronx.-Every boat must
have a First Mate. We know Of no
other form of immediate" relief. AS
you see, your own diagnosis was cor
rect and there was no use writing us.
Flat Back and Childbirth
Helen.-We do not know what you
mean by FLAT back" If you refer
to flattening of the poSterior part
Of the pelvis, then it would surely
interfere with childbirth. If, on the
other hand, you merely have in mind
the soft parts of the anatomy, then
there will be no interference with
a normal birth. Every woman should
be measured by physician before
she gives birth to her first baby
He can tell whether the measure
ments are normal or within the range
of safety.

Errors Caused by
.Speed-Up Must Be
Fixed on Own Time
By NetaI Woke Correspondentl

(By Metal Worker Correspondent
FITCHBURG, Mass. - Under the
codes Of the N. R. A, the conditions
of the steel and metal workers at the
Independent Lock Co., do not seem
to get any better, but quite the con-
trary, the conditions are becoming
more miserable for the workers
Speed-up, pay-cuts, layoffs, an
threats Of getting fired is the code
under which the workers of the lock
shop work.
With all this speed-up all work
must pass inspection. If the work is
not perfect, the worker has to do it
over again on his own time. If the
worker getting his work back refuses
to do it. on his own time, he gets
fired.
Workers who are able to make a
few cents over their day rate in
riece work will lose it on the next
job if they can't make their day rate.
With the conditions of workers
steadily growing worse in a factory
that supports all patriotic move
ments, what good can the N. r. A.
bring us?
Come on, fellow workers, organize
into a union and fight against these
intolerable conditions.
Editors Note: This worker calls
upon his fellow workers to Organ
ize into a union" but does not
specify what kind of a union. We
want to warn these workers that
there are unions which work with
the employers against the workers,
like those at present under the
leadership of the A. F. of L., and
there are those, like the Steel and
Metal Workers Industrial Union,
which fight against the employers,
and for the interests of the work.
ers. We recommend the Industrial
Union, which is under rank and file
control.

those remaining in the nest were

saw the others being fed over on that
old stub, and the sight was too much
for one of them. He leaned so far
forward in his eagerness that he lost

Instantly his wings opened as If of
their own accord, and he began to beat
the air with them. He was no longer
falling. He was rising a little and
moving forward 1t was wonderful
feeling. He forgot to be afraid. A few
seconds later he was on that old stub.
One by one those remaining in the
home in the gravel pit, finding that
they would have to go hungry unless
they joined those on the old stub,
mustered up courage enough to make
the short flight. and each was prompt

L to get out in the Great World.
Whenever mother or father
returned with food they were almost
sure to find touseled head thrust out
of the entrance. Sometimes there
would be two.
They are about ready to try their
wings, the darlings," said Mrs. Rattles.
Don't let them try too soon," warned
Rattles. You know, it is long way
from this gravel pit in the Old Pas
ture over to the Laughing Brook or
the Smiling Pool That Is. it is a
long way for untried wings. OF course,
it is nothing for us. If there were
some trees on the way it would be
different"
They'll make it all right when the
time comes" replied Mrs. Rattles con-
fidently. "They are big and strong,
and we won't let them start too soon.
They'll make it,"
What puzzles me is how they are
going to learn t. fly" said Rattles.
"They won't have to learn" retorted
Mrs. RattleS. II didn't have to learn.
You didn't have to learn. When the
time came we just flew. The impor-
tant thing is to see to it that they are
ready; that they do not try too soon
Well keep them at home just as long
as we can. When we can't keep them
in the house any longer we'll know it
is time to take them over near the
water"
So one morning when Mrs Rattles
returned with little fish it was to
find one of the young Kingfishers sit
ting on a stub on the opposite side of
the gravel pit, and even as she spied
this one she saw another touselhead
leave the hole in the bank, pitch
downward bit, flap untried wings a
bit awkwardly, get his balance and
triumphantly join his brother on the
old stub She promptly fed the first
one and Rattles, arriving just then, fed
the second one.
Rattles promptly hurried back for
another fish, while Mrs. Rattles re-
manned to keep watch over the two
venturesome children. BY the time
Rattles returned a third had joined
the others and was promptly fed the

Mr.. Aggressive can hardly be criti-

consider that possibility in view OF
North's opening bid. however, and
based his play on North's holding

a heart and a diamond. North had

At this point, Mr.. Aggressive led

If Mr.. Conservative goes up with

lead away from his king of diamonds.
Result-Mr. Aggressive made four

not be stopped at any time, once the
clubs break favorably.
