code is the privilege of hearing
the boss say No" in person in
stead of being compelled to read
his refusal on the bulletin board.
But even that slim right is in
dispute. On the Newark Ledger,
L. Il. Russell met the request for
collective bargaining with bull
letin that half the staff would be
fired for their temerity in daring
to request discussion and that af-
ter brief vacation in Hot
Springs he would fire sixteen
more. We did not avail ourselves
of the code. We did not appeal

The Guild called a strike. The
Guilds experience with the NRA
is that mostly you lose and if
you do by any chance grab the
brass ring, somebody cuts your
hand off.
Mess of Pottage
That has happened in other in
dustries. Donald Riehberg has a
long reach. And so in speaking
for the Newspaper Guild we
think that we are speaking for
and with all labor. We deny the
neutrality of NRA. We contend
that even the President of the
United States has been argued
into accepting the interpreta-
tions of the employers. And we
will come no more to stand and
wait for Donald Richberg to pass
around the pottage. We say the
service is something terrible and
the pOttage is a little worse.

How Capitalism
Treats Intellect

A couple of weeks ago in New York
City, one of the nations most talented
writers of fiction, drama, and verse was
denied relief and faced with starvation.
Maxwell Bodenheim, age 80, and author
of p books written during the past IS
years, was thus honored.
A short time ago the architect of New
York'S famous flatiron building died on
relief in Chicago.
John Strachey, famous English econ
omiSt, author and lecturer, was arrest
ed last week in Chicago and awaits de-
portation-the result of a lying and
slanderous campaign pushed by the
Hearst papers.
Are writers considered human-un-

Dear Editor:
Opprobium is being heaped

plOyer of labor aspires to being
an autOcrat in his own business;

Into the NRA conception there
has crept from time to time the
word partnership" The pub
fishers take that to mean a part,
nership of the employers. Indeed
to them a code is a sort of land
grant giving them complete and
exclusive right to hunt, fish and
eXterminate the Indians.
And that explains the most
curious phase of all-the freedom
of the press. The publishers con-
strue the freedom of the press
to mean that no governmental
agency has any right to compel
him to do anything whatsoever.
If you ask a newspaper owner to
put in a rope on the fifth floor
so that somebody may slide down
in case of fire he may very well
draw himself up and say, How

Match or Fuse Used to
Fire First Powder Gums

The first weapon employing powder
and small enough to be carried by a
man was little more than a tube Of
metal from which a charge was fred
by the application to the touchhole Of
lighted match or fuse. The arQuebus,
forerunner Of the musket. was Of this
simple design, notes q writer In the
Chicago Tribune. Fired by the aid Of
the so-called matchbox. It hurled
ball maximum distance Of 400 yards.
Some time In the mid Sixteenth Gen.
fury the duke Of Alva (1508-15S3) In
troduced into the Spanish army the
smoothbore musket, which had q maxi
mum range of 500 yards, but which, like
the arQuebus, was only accurate for
about 100 yards.
Little Improvement was made in the
shooting efficiency of the smoothbore
musket in more than 200 years, though
the firing mechanisms Of the weapons
were successfully changed from match
lock to wheel lock, from wheel lock
to flintlock, and from fiintlock to cap or
percussion lock. Gradually the weapons
were made lighter and lighter, until
/, the soldier no longer was compelled
! to carry forked rod upon which to
rest his gun for firing.

For more than ten centuries miners

they spent their spare time in carving
marvellous figures In salt. A complete

beautiful statues Of the saints. affairs
and other Biblical figures and objects,
is one example of the workers skill.
On feast days of modern times, mass is
held in the underground cathedral.
Among the statues is that of the vlr-
gin. In one part Of the mine a giant
statue and a beautiful hall appear,
monuments to the devotion of the
miners.

Civil War Tokens

From 1861 to 1864 the dearth of
small coins gave rise to an enormous
private issue Of tokens and merchants
cards. The former bore inscriptions
giving vivid expressions to the parti-
san slogans Of the day, while the other
bore simply the advertisement of the
merchants who issued them. 1t was
estimated that not less than 25,00O.000
of these private tokens were issued
throughout the eastern and middle
western states until the government,
by act of congress In 1864, put a stop
to their issue. They are worth about
four or five cents each. The name
