FORMER MINER
GETS TASK OF
union REFORM
John Brophy Campaigns for
Organization Along
Industrial Lines.
BY FRED w. PERKINS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-John
Brophy, trouble shooter for the
United Mine Workers, is at grips
with his biggest assignment.
When he finishes, the Committee
for Industrial Organization, of
which he is director, either will have
reformed the A. F. of L. along in
dustrial-union lines or the A. F. of
L. will have suffered deep scars and
probably lost some of its most i'm
portant affiliates.
The platform of Mr.. Brophy and
his boss (John L. Lewis, head of the
U. M. w. and the new c. I. o. is a
simple one: The American labor
movement, they say, will be mex
cusably weak until its organization
embraces the many millions of I'M
skilled workers for whom the craft
unions have no place.
Mr.. Brophy was born in Lam
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1935-12-20

has been attached to the national
staff.
Mr.. Lewis, in Mr.. Brophy's opin-
ion, symbolizes the power and drive
of one of the most energizing move
nents that has shown itself in re-
cent American labor history. He
declares the result will be unifca-
ton rather than division of labor's
forces.
BY next falls convention of the
A. F. Of L., he hopes, sufficient
progress will have been made to
demonstrate the wisdom as well as
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1935-12-20

the strength OF the drive. Progress,
he thinks, will be made in two
ways-first, by convincing the craft
unionists who now dominate the
Federation of the need for more
efficient organization; second, fam
ming the interest of unorganiZed
groups and spreading the informa-
ton that a substantial group is
ready to help them.

City, Long Buried Under
Mud, Uncovered in China

A terrific windstorm which recent
ly swept over northern Honan I'M
covered the west gate and part of a
street of the ancient city of Chuh-
sien, according to reports from Kali
feng, the provincial capital, says the
New York Times.
Chuhsien, which was f1ourishing
city situated between Weihuei and
Hsinhsiang on the former bed of
the Yellow river, was inundated by
disastrous flood in the early part
of the reign of Emperor Chen Lung
Shortly after the Yellow river SHIFT.
ed its course, and when the waters
subsidized no vestige Of the city could
be found. 1t had been completely
covered by the mud and sand depos-
tied as result of the flood.
In the intervening two centuries
the action Of the wind has removed
successive layers of mud and sand,
until the last windstorm actually
brought a part of the buried city
once more to view. The provincial
authorities have planned to con-
tinue the work of nat1re and COM
pletely excavate the ancient city.

Wandering Folk Players
of the Cars Dav Vanish

In the Cars day there was prac-
tically no theater in that part of south
eastern Russia which is now Soviet
Uzbekitsan, writes Langston Hughes
In Asia Magazine. Tashkent had a
small Tartar theater and also a poor
provincial Russian playhouse for the
entertainment of the military and col
onial families. But the Uzbek masses.
unlettered as they were, contenred
themselves with folk music and Jug
glers, magicians and other outdoor per-
formers. These wandering folk per-
formers are rapidly disappearing, some
of them being absorbed into the state
circuses and others into the modern
theater. Some have gone even as far
as Odessa and Leningrad to perform
for distant audiences In indoor cir
cuses.
Gone, too, are the dorvos, native
ropewalkers who used to perform in
the public squares. Uzmozaif, an old
musician whom l met, told me that
he had never heard of any European
ropewalkers as skillful as these DOR
vos. They worked on high ropes with
no protecting nets and crowds of peo-
pie below them. Among them were ac-
complished dancers doing graceful
steps in mld-air.

By GRANDMOTHER CLARK

The original rug shown measures
"A inches and requires four pounds
of rags to complete. 1t is braided
with three strands, but can be GRO
cheted. A crocheted rug has better
wearing properties. Many colors
are used in the following combina-
tons: Center circle in white, yell
low, red, and black. Three of the
outer circles in various rust shades
The other three circles in two shades
of blue, and yellow. Outer edge is
rose, yellow, black.
This rug shows that beautiful
rugs can be made of rags. The
regulation or common rag rug is
either round or oval, with various
color combinations, and when fin
ished has no particular beauty. In
making the above bed of Roses" rug,
make seven small round rugs about
twelve inches in diameter, and set
together as shown here, then work
rows all around to size wanted. It's
a different. rug and only another
idea Of what can be made of rags.
The best material for making rag
rugs is 'Linkraft." When using this
new material no cutting or match
ing of sizes is necessary. Linkraft
is round knitted material like jer-
sey. 1t comes in links about five
inches long, but stretches to about
nine inches when linking together.
These links are to be linked together

SHOWS SPEED OF THOUGHT

A method Of studying the move
ments of the eye in reading aloud,
and correlating them with the actual
pronunciation of the words, has
been announced In Science Maya
zine by Prof. Joseph Tiffin of Iowa
university.
Photographic records of the eye and
the "sound track" produced by the
voice show that the voice lags about
a second behind the eye. This may
be taken as measure Of the speed
of thought: the time required for
the mind to recognize the word and
transmit the necessary orders to
the speech apparatus. The record
also shows that the eye does not
travel smoothly along line Of type,
but proceeds by series Of jerks.

know something about how to get at a
thing like this. We have our methods
and they usually work I'd sug-
gest that both you and Ordway sit
down and wait It'll Jim gets back. In
the meantime think I'll look that safe
over once more"
Without waiting for possible re-
tort, Warren strobe over to the safe
and bent to scrutinize its interior.
Mr.. Rud and his butler exchanged
glances.
It wasn't often that the master of
the house was so completely dismissed
without being given chance to as
sert himself.
A testy retort had formed in his
mind and he was on the point Of speak
ing, when footsteps sounded on the
stairs, and Bradley appeared in the
archway.
The detective carried a package in
his hand.
Warren, satisfied smile on his lips,
relieved his chief aide Of the package
and handed it to Rud.
"Your Jewels, Mr.. Rud, and believe
you'll find them all intact"
The tall man blinked, gulped and
stared incredulously.
.Why-why," he stammered, "this is
miraculous! / say, how in the world
were you so sure that Vincent was
the guilty man. Why, drat his hide,
I'll clap him in Jail for this! l had
no idea he was such a vicious char
acterl''
Warren smiled.
"Your ideas were correct, Mr.. Rud.
Vincent isn't vicious character. In
fact, wouldn't be surprised If, upon
investigation, you found him sleeping
soundly. The sleep of the just-And
innocent"
"But-but don't understand. These
jewels you found them in his room,
did you not?"
ION the contrary, MIR. Rud, we did
notl We found them in Ordway's
room, which / instructed Jim to search
five minutes agol''
Warren whirled and pointed an ac-
cusing finger at the white-faced butler.

who's been with you ten years and
whom you trusted implicitly The man
who was willing to let some one else

There was no mistaking the express
sion Of guilt that flashed across Ord
ways face, an expression which he
Immediately tried to obliterate by a
poor attempt at clustering.
His was the guilt Of a man bewil-
dered and confused, of inability to un-
derstand in what manner his crime
had been detected.
And Warren, understanding the feel
ing, smiled in satisfying manner.
He no longer felt that his manners
were regarded as coarse and crude.
And the sensation of having tri-
umphed was pleasant.
But at least he said:
1T was difficult not to notice the
electric clock in front of the wall safe
there. Ordway. checked its time with
my own watch, which is noted for it's
accuracy; and discovered them to CO.
incide to the second. Which means, Of
course, that there wasn't any fuse
blown at all, for if there had been

electric clock would have stopped and
