ICE CREAM MEN
HOLD PARLEY
ON STRIKE
Threat of More WaIkoutS
Hangs Over Session; Two
Firms Grant Labor Demands

Under threat from the Central
Labor Union that teamsters, fire
men and engineers would be
called out if the demands of the
ice creams workers were not met,
representatives Of the owners and
workers were meeting today in
the offices of the Colonial Ice
Cream Compay in an effort to
reach an agreement.
No word was forthcoming as to
compromise after a twohour
session, and no one would leave
the meeting, being held in private,
to report what progress had been
made.
The controversy between con-
tractors and carpenters on Gov
ernment buildings Is in allegiance
pending results of a Senate hear
ing today on alleged abuses in
the industry, involving charges
that workmen have been required
to turn back part Of their pay
to the employers.
Two Plants Meet Demands
The ice cream strike today re-
vealed two plants as having met
the workers demands, two more
holding out in passive way and
the other two trying to operate
normally by using nonunion
labor. This last development led
to q statement by Richard "A.
Dickson. president of the Central
Labor Union, that he would call
out teamsters, firemen and en-
gineers from the offending plants
if they do not abandon this prac-
tice.
64 Workers ON Strike
There are "a workers, many Of
them women. on strike for $3.50
a day for skilled labor, IS for un-
skilled and 81 for pint wrappers.
This is the scale they received
two years ago. 1t is 81 less all
around now, except in the third
group, where the cut was so
cents. The employees say an ice
cream price war has prevented
restoration of their pay.
The carpenters who quit work
number about 1900, it was said,
and apparently there are no di-
rect efforts on foot to settle the
controversy. The Master Builders
Association has offered $1.10, in
stead of the $1.37l2 an hour the
union demands.
National officers of the carpen-
ters' union were expected here to-
day to help the strike.

but we we're quite sure she
couldn't have been worth all
that fuss. Nobody nor nothin'
could. Somehow, thinking Of
them sitting there like that, we
wanted to snicker. But we
didn't dast."
Now I know that we, young
savages though we were, had a
much more healthy attitude
about the whole business than
our parents. It was silly,
worse than silly, to waste life
like that. It didn't help any
body. 1t wasn't even love. It
was one of those Shiny things
that so often masquerade as
love.
But we cannot realize that
when first we go into the
shadows. There is no realiza-
ton then but pain, and the end.
less loneliness that is like a lost
voice wailing through the night.
Sitting there, trying so vainly
to summon back our vanished
happiness, we do not know that
we are listening only to the
voice of our own grief. Nor do
we know the moment when
grief ceases to be a catastrophe
and begins to become a convent"
ence.
A cruel thing to say about a
broken heart? Yes, but it is
so; for natural grief was never
meant to be prolonged. After
each winter of sorrow there
should be a spring.
Grief is only sacred" as it
breaks the way to greater life.
When grief becomes an end in
its own self, it is no longer fine
or pitiful. Then it becomes a
menace.
Yesterday we wept out Of
sheer agony. Today we weep
because we've found it serves
our end. We won't admit this.
We'd cry in anger that it wasn't
true. And most of the world
would cry with us. But it's so!
Tears soon become a vicious
racket. People are kind to those
who weep; kinder, far, than to
those who laugh. Give them at
tention which they never had
before. Make excuses for them.
Let them slip, pityingly. from
responsibilities which they'd
otherwise have to bear.
FOR THE SELFISH, THE
CONCETTED, THE COWARD
LY AND LAZY, THERE IS NO
EATER CONVENIENCE
THAN A BROKEN HEART.
Yet there are no more tragic
creatures on earth than those
who give their lives over to
mourning. For nine times out
of ten they are self-deluded.
They are the victims Of our
vicious, sentimental belief in the
sanctity of sorrow. And they
are poisoned by that very sym.
pathy which we give so gener-
ously.

Ambassador Dodd called at the
German foreign office and re-

government intended to grant
American bondholders the same
treatment accorded British in

which remain crippled by loss

There was an old couple in
our town when I was a young
ster. Thirty years before they
had lost their only idolized
daughter. She had died shortly
before Christmas. Since then
they had shut themselves away
from the world; never opened
their home to guests; never
lighted another Christm a S
candle.
Her room remained just as
she had left it. With the excep-
ton of the kitchen and a bed
room the house was locked.
When the rest of the street
twinkled at twilight, their place
stood dark a S a tom b. They
boasted that they had never
set a table since the day Of the
funeral. They ate from bags
and cans which the grocer de-
posted against the closed back
door.
Once a week they emerged
and made an afternoon pilgrim
age to their daughters grave.
Hidden behind the cypress trees,
we youngsters us d to watch
them, fascinated. First they
would tidy up the plot, pulling
the weeds slowly with lax, gray
fingers. Then they would seat
themselves upon the curbing.
They did not cry. They must
have used up their tears long
ago. Until it grew so dark that
the road was a dim blur, they
would sit there silent, notion
less, their Sa agging faces as
empty Of purpose as the dead
around them.
Our parents scolded us when
they found we'd been watching.
They tried to make us feel that
such grief was holy, almost like
being in church, and we were
wrong to snoop. We listened,
mumbled promises - but felt
there was something wrong
somewhere.
