washington belongs in the clean
air" group of big American cities, ac-
cording to air pollution studies of the
Public Health Service
Although the results have not yet
been entirely analyZed, they have
gone far enough to justify dividing
the communities into three groups
based on the average findings of par
ticles in the air. In the highest
group were Baltimore, Boston, Chi
cago, Pittsburgh and st. Louis, ar
ranged alphabetically. The second
included Buffalo, Cleveland, New Or
leans, New York and Philadelphia
Detroit, Los Angeles, San Francisco
and Washington compose the third.
The air conditions have been
studied over a period of two years.
Four trips Of about five days each
have been made to each city, and
records obtained as to the number of
particles in average samples of the
air, the weight and composition of
these particles, and the relationships
to meteorological conditions and time
of day.
The average size of these invisible
particles, which apparently fill the
air everywhere, was about one micron,
or about tflousandth of a milli-
meter. This would be invisible to the
naked eye but easily visible if the
eyes were Of the order of first-class
microscopes. Their composition in
Winter averaged IS per cent of or
ganic matter. 35 per cent of ash, u
per cent of silica and about 2 per cent
OF iron oxide. Sulphur was recorded
as present to the extent of less than
a milligram per 10 cubic meters Of
air.
Polluted in Winter.
Air pollution, especially with re-
spect to particles of organic matter
and sulphur, was greatest in the Win
ter months, the study shows There
was a great variation at different
times OF the day. Apparently the
purest city air is to be had at about
$3.50 am. and the most polluted dur
ing the Winter at about 7:3O in the
morning. 1t is slightly purer during
the middle of the day than at morn

CHICAGO, November 17.-From
the candy stand Of the Metropolitan
to the footlights of Chicago grand
opera came Anna Turkel for her
American debut tonight in "Cavalleria
Rusticana."
The young New York diva, whose
rise to the operate stage reads like
a. fairy tale, was enthusiastically re-
ceived in her part as Santuzza.
She was ably supported by John
Pane Gasser, Joseph Roger, Ada
Paggi and Maria Barova. A new con-
ductor also made his deput, DR..
Frank Laird Waller, who worked with
the late John Philip Sousa in the or
ganization of Army bands during the
war.
Got Vendors Job.
The story of Anna Turkel had its
origin in her love for music. She
got a job as a candy vendor at New
York's famed Metropolitan Opera
House in 1921, and for five years
worked there. singing at home the
arias that she picked up at work and
from scores.

teacher. After q member of the Met

abroad.
After she made her debut in Verdi's
la Fora del Destino" in Genoa, she
sang frequently abroad.
Preceding "Cavalleria Rusticana"
was Il Pagliacci," often the COM
panion piece on the bill with Mas
cagnis work.
Thomas as Tonic.
A great favorite with Chicago au-
diences, John Charles Thomas sang
the role of Tonic. With him were
Giovanni Martinelli, Giuseppe Cava-
dore, Hilda Burke and a young Chi
cagoan making his debut, Mario
Fiorella.
Fiorella's chance at opera was as
unusual as Miss Turkels. He rose to
the stage from a position as tele-
graph messenger boy here. Tonight
he was Silvio.
Incidental with Thomas season
debut it was announced today by the
Italian consul general that the ia
nous baritone had been made a

Company Union Brings
Not One Improvement
at Budd Wheel Plant
B a Worker Correspondent


DETROIT, Mich.-You remember
very well, not so long ago, a picture
was painted for us of the company
and the company unions bringing to
us a full dinner pail with good
things in it. Many workers in De-
troit grabbed torch and ran after
the prosperity parade. Now we find
this is only another pipe dream.
At present we are fooling away
at IS per week, where we used to
make $50 for full weeks work
In the Budd Wheel company, since
the election of company union
representatives, there hasn't been a
single improvement for the workers;
it is still as much as mans Job
is worth to express any dissatis-
faction with the pay, or working
conditions.
I am reading a book called I'm
perial Washington by Senator r. F.
PettigreW on the fellow who made
the constitution. Page 1877 quotes
the interests of these men who made
up the constitutional convention OF
1887. There were fifty-fve delegates
present in the convention. A
majority were lawyers. Most of
them came from towns, there was
not one farmer, mechanic, or la
borer among them. Five sixths had
property interests. OF SIS members
40 owned revolutionary script; IA
were land spectators; "a were
money lenders, IL were merchants.
Is were slave holders. Washington.

was a slave holder, land Spectator
and a large scrip owner. jefferson
was in France. George Washington
was paid back one dollar for every
nine cents that he gave to finance
the revolutionary war. (Mr. Petit
grew is not a Communist.)
President Roosevelt tells YOU that
you can organize in your own or
ganization, but when you do go on
strike the same gentleman sends
troops to shoot the strikers down.
The strategic position in every
class war is the government. No
great improvement in the life of the
toiler can be accomplished as long
as this institution is in the hands
OF our enemies. The industrial
struggle must be carried into the
political fields. But striving for
political power must not prevent us
from developing our other fighting
organs to higher degree of eff
cheney.

That is the question. Shall we lag

this task. The growth and improve

half and resulted in a victory for

American Steel Co. In this shop,
although small, only a few months

The Party nucleus in this shop is
selling the Daily Worker and litera-
ture to the workers in other plants

workers of this factory demanded
an increase in pay the boss in
formed them that he couldn't see
his way out. The workers told him
that either he comes across or there
would be a picket line in front of
the place. He wanted time to con-
slider. He decided to give in. The
workers got an increase of from

Graft Estorted
For Gary Jobs
Nv a Steel Work

By Steel Worker Correspondent
GARY, Ind.-Graft is openly col
lected in the shipping yard of Bill
let Mill Department. The graft col
lection Is wide open. I've watched
workers going in the mill for is
days and only get two days for all
of the two weeks. And then again
I've watched the other group Of
workers that get four anc five days
weekly, after bribing the boss, Mr..
j. Butch. The workers are not or
gained
Last week I had an opportunity
to go through this shipping yard
and meet some of the workers that
I know, and asked them how
many days they were getting. One
said four days in all for pay of two
weeks. The second said he only
had two days. I asked them If there
was any union talk and they both
answered the same way. The only
union talk was about the company
union.
In the locomotive shop there is
one known there as Walter (Bill)
Hinky. This fellow does clerks work
In the locomotive shop for w. A..
Egan. All the orders are made and
given out by Bill Hinky, and Egan
never checks up on the books as to
who is working or how they are
working. So long as he has some
body on the engine it's all right
with him. There's another CRATER
who gets butter and eggs, packs of
potatoes, and it can be seen by
blind man that there is graft, and
it can be proven by asking a few
workers when they were hired. The
reply was, some in June, and some
in July of 1888, and they are max
ing from Is to II days to a pay And
on the other hand I've asked work
ers that I know have been hired as
far back as 1927-28, but they lost
half the pay of July which was
pad on Aug. 5. Their brass checks
we're taken away, and the answer
Is that there is no organizational
work carried on at ALL
Fellow workers, exposure Is all
right. but unless we organize into a
real union that really carries on the
fight from below and above, our ex-
posures don't mean a thing to the
bosses. The only way out is through
organization, to create shop COM
mittees and department rank and
file committees of organized and
unorganized workers, and this or
ganization is the fighting Steel and
Metal Workers Industrial Union.
