movement in the railroad unions is
very weak, place serious difficulties
in the way of widespread lodge pro-
test. All the more reason for taking
advantage of such resources as we
have.
In many terminals rank and file
meetings are being held to unite
the 81 crafts against putting into
effect any such new lay-off or con-
solidation plan. These gatherings of
union members, lodges and officials,
are utilizing all conferences and
lodge meetings taking place before
Jan. IL to get the following resolu-
lions passed:
/. To instruct General Chair
men to reject all proposals Of
Eastman, regardless of promises
made for the men laid off.
2. To turn the meeting of the
General Chairmen into a confer
ence to solidify the power of rail-
road labor within the FL crafts
and unite forces at every terminal
to take strike action where neces-
sary.
To prevent lay offs from going
into effect at any one point, win the
six-hour day without reduction in
earnings, stop speed up and in
creased production tasks, limit
speed and length of trains, main
tain full crews, fight for Federal
system of unemployment insurance
financed by the government and the
railroads and an adequate retire
ment pension act. In other words.

adoption as a united attack of all
railroad companies lies in a given
terminal and nationally was pre-
pared through government pressure
under the Emergency Transporta-
ton Act of June, 1888.
Through this process SOC, 900 rail-
road jobs have been cut off in the
past years. Through this process
$4,000 railroad jobs have been cut
off in the past five months. 10000
between Oct. Is and Nov. Is.
This determination of railroad
jobs is, however, not going fast
enough for the railroad profiteers
who plan the sacrifice of at least
another 100000 jobs in the coming
months. 1t is to ensure the smooth
carrying out of these and future
lay-offs that Eastman is going into
conference with the 1,500 General
Chairmen.
Workers Can Stop 1t
The only factor which stands in
the way of putting this program
into effect at once is the railroad
workers themselves. Organized half
million strong, particularly pow
erful in the key departments OF
train and engine service, members
of the 81 railroad unions have given
cause for alarm in forcing union
officials to call strike ballots on five
important railroads this past year.
On two roads, the Delaware and
Hudson and the Kansas City South
ern, tie determination of the rank
and file stopped, at least tempo
rarily, the abolition of the mileage
basis of pay for train and engine
crews, which would have meant a
30 per cent wage cut and the wip-
ing out of time and half for over
time.

Workers Bill
Workers and Farmers
to Send 3 Delegates
to Washington

VIRGINIA, MINI, Jan. g.
More than eighty-four delegates,
representing $500 workers and
farmers of the Mesaba Range as
sembled at a workers and farmers
relief conference here last week at
the North Pole Hall. Delegates
representing the Mine, Mill and
Smelter Workers, Croatian Frater-
nal Unions, Roosevelt Workers
Club, United Farmers League,
Finnish Workers Clubs, Working
Womens Clubs, Labor Advance
ment Association, Communist Party,
Young Communist League and vari-
GUS youth organizations we're pres
ent.
This conference elected a broad
united front Range-wide commit
tee to begin to fight for the maxi
mum amount OF relief allowed by
the State Relief Commission, hut
which the workers ana farmers do
not receive. Also, the question of
hay, feed and seed for farmers free
hot lunches in schools, the steel
trust to pay its taxes without re-
duction, were Joints on the con-
ference agenda. The conference
was the broadest united front of
workers and farmers on the MeSaba
Range fighting for the right TO live.
Resolutions, which were passed on
these questions, will be sent to the
state and county authorities for
immediate action.
Elect Washington Delegates
The conference went on record,
adopting the Workers Unemploy-
ment and Social Insurance Bill, and
pledged to do all in its power to
mobilize the workers and farmers
to place pressure upon the Con-
gressmen of this district for its
enactment in the Seventy-fourth
Congress. Three delegates were
elected to the National Congress
for Unemployment and Social In
surance in Washington, D. C.
One delegate from each of the
organizations were elected: the
Roosevelt Workers Club, the Inter
national Union of Mine, Mill and
Smelter Workers Local 80 of
Eveleth, and the Finnish Workers
Clubs of the Mesaba Range.
Growing MiJitancv Seen
There is growing militancy Of
the workers and farmers on the
Range, due to the miserable condi-
tons, the lay-offs of hundreds of
miners by the steel trust, the dis
elimination and low relief allow
ances to both adult and youth.
Thousands of workers have taken
part in huge mass meetings called
by the Farmer-Labor Party, but
these leaders have only used rad
ical phrases, to quiet down the
militancy of the masses, and take
no action to fight for better condi-
tons or lead the workers in Strug-
gle for better conditions.
A mass meeting held in Gilbert,
Minnesota, called by the Corpora
tive Association, took immediate &C
ton to fight for better conditions,
and a broad committee was elected
to take up the grievances of the
workers with the local relief Off
Gals and to take steps to demon
strate before the relief officials if
they refuse to act on the demands
of the workers. The workers are
beginning to realize that merely
meeting and passing resolutions will
not bring relief, but militant action
on the part of the workers is the
only solution to force the relief Of
ficials to act on the workers de-
mands.

Tennis Amateurs
Deny They Are to
Turn Professional

LONDON. Jan. 5. tUP)-
Three of the worlds outstanding
amateur tennis players yesterday
denied reports from the United
States that they were about to
turn professional; Helen Jacobs
of Berkeley, Cal, and Fred Perry
and Mrs. Eileen Bennett Whit
tingstall of England.
Miss Jacobs, United States sin
giles champion, admitted she had
received a cabled offer from Bill
O'Brien, New York promoter, but
said she would refuse it. She
said she intended remaining in
Europe until, after the Wimble-
don championship and return lat
er in the summer to the United
Hates.
Fred Perry. world singles
champion, told the Evening
Standard by telephone from Mel-
bourne. Australia. that he had
not agreed to sign a professional
contract. He said he intendeC
returning to England in April,
still an amateur. He said he had
had no communication with Pro-
moter O'Brien sence September.
Mrs. WhittinStall, ran k e d
among Britain's first five women
singles players, said she had re-
ceived a cable from O'Brien Of
fering approximately $4,000 for
a three months tour. She said
she cabled her refusal immedi-
ately.

To Aid the Blind

There were several systems OF
readlng for the blind in existence
before the invention Of Braille. The
earliest authentic records of tan
gible letters for the blind were in
vented by francesca Lucas, a Span.
lard. In 1910 a wr;ling master in
Paris cast movable leaden type
for their use. Valentine Hauy was
the first to embOsS paper as a means
OF reading for the blind. At the
beginning of the Nineteenth century
% different methods of embossed
printing were in existence. Well.
known types besides Braille were
the Moon type, invented by Doctor
Moon of Brighton in 1917; Frere's

NEW YORK, Jan. 5. (UP)-
Harry Williamson, lanky blonC
runner from the University OF
North Carolina who may be
Americas chief hope in the 1900
meters at the next Olympic
games, will command the spot
light tonight when the curtain is
rung ND on the 1885 indoor track
season i'm the Brooklyn Knights
of Columbus games.
There's no tar in the heels OF
this North Carolinian. IN fact
officials of the Amateur Athletic
union are confident he is going
places in a hurry. At 81, Will
hanson is ranked fourth among
the nations milerS. coming right
behind Glenn Cunningham, Bill
Bonthron and Gene Yenzke.
Those three are older than
Williamson and probably already
have hit their peak, while the
Dixie lad is coming up. Dan
Ferris, secretary of the A.A.U.
expects him to be approaching
top form next year, the Olympic
year.
Accordingly Williamson will be
watched closely tonight as he
swings around the flat track of
the 106th armOry, matching
strides in the TOO-meter feature
with five opponents headed by
the world champion miller, Glenn
Cunningham, of Kansas. The eX-
perts are particularly DESTROYS of
seeing how much speed William
son can turn on over the shorter
SOO-meter distance. They know
he has stamina. He demonstrate
ed that when ne finished fourth
in the N.C.A.A. mile at Los An
giles last summer. Running his
first mile in nearly two years,
the southern lad almost nOSed
out Gene Benske for third posi-
ton. Cunningham and Bill Bon
thron of Princeton finished first
and second. Williamson was
clicked in 4:15.6.
A week later w lulamSOn won
the national A.A.U. junior 1900
meter championship. In addition
ne is the southern conference
half-mile and mile champion.
His opponents tonight will be
Cunningham. Venke, Bill Ray,
of Manhattan college, Bill Pat
terSon of Columbia University
Dennis O'keefe of the Curb En-
change, and John Grady, former
Columbia track captain. AL
though Cunningham did little
running over the half-mile and
S00-meter distance last year, he
was considered one of the best in
1888. The question is whether
the Kansas graduate and Eene-
+, diet can oyerpower his position.

"There have arisen numerous

One reform cited by Gen.

the present law, benefits under

compensation to World War vet
Grams is not.
Gen. Hines reported that 63,-

admitted since March 3, 1919,

showed, paid total compensation
of Sl49,230,4 02 during the year
