The Indianapolis times., 1935-11-05
BY ERNIE PYLE

WAsH1NGToN, Nov. 5.-You
w might not even notice it
in an airplane, but when you
come up over the pinnacle in your
car and almost top 1000 feet, you
get a tight feeling in your ears,
and a ringing. And when you
stop and look down at the valley
below, so far away, you have a
catch in your breath that may
not be due entirely to the altitude.
That is the Skyline Drive. It's
Americas latest example of what
man can do with mountains.
Man can't improve on mountains,
but he can help us get up there
on top for the long look down.
The Skyline Drive is in central
Virginia. in Shenandoah National
Park. You drive above 90 miles
southwest from Washington. You
see the mountains coming, and
your road wanders up into them.
You top ridge and turn to
your left, and then-for 80 miles
you sail up and down through
and around pinnacles. 80 miles
along the serrated ridge of the
Blue Ridge chain, with the great
valleys first on one side and then
the other. People will be coming
from many thousands of miles
away to ride the Skyline. as its
fame spreads.
THE Skyline Drive is a high
i way. 1t was built by the
Federal government-the Nation
al Park Service and the Bureau
of Public Roads. They started it
under Hoover, in 1892.
1t viii be 80 miles long when

Shore thing, another
cut in. "Ain't no Repub-
licans round heah."
A third stepped close to the
open window. "We amt inter-
ested in the party no more-we's
interested in the man. That's
Roosevelt now"
A slender, high-yelloW crowded
into the picture.
Don't forget Huey," he an
nounced. "They was plenty of us
Huey folks around here It'll they
went an killed him. Guess most
of us Huey folks is got to be fer
Roosevelt now."
r ASKED about things in the
l. plant. We're working eight
hours, five days week." the boy
with the wide grin explained.
We're gettin' $385 day. KANT
hardly live on that. Some of
the boys tried to strike once but
they jes' shut down the mills and
toll us to starve. They pick
wrong time. Right time to strike
is when the mills is maxim money
and orders is comm in. They
won't shet down on us then"
A boy with a green sweater
stepped in close. Its the ma
chimes that's maxim it tough on
us. They're putin in new ones
all the time. An if we'd try
to organize the company spies
would find out about us and we'd
git fired"
The others nodded in approval.
They were in dead earnest. Ev-
erything here seemed to be in
earnest; there is somberness and
depression in the very air of a
steel town.
And these colored boys brought
up North to replace white strik-
ing labor after the great strike of
1919 seemed to symbolic their
depressing environment.
At best they could live only a
precarious hand-to-mouth exist
ence. They with the coal and ore
and sand were poured into the
great furnaces to come out as
steel.
nor IS miles along the shore of
Il Lake Michigan stretch the
great plants, with thousand tiny
factories gathered around their
feet.
Here possibly half a million peo-
pie live out their humdrum lives.
1t is jobs and food, not elections,
that interest them-but I tried to
find out how they would vote next
year.
1 talked to men off their shifts,
housewives, store keepers, minor
labor leaders.
Mrs. Gus Michan, in South Chi
cago, told me about her attack of
flu and then added: People
around here is kicking a lot about
the way relief is handled Still I
guess most of the people is still
for Roosevelt, even if they don't
think he kept all his promises.
Maybe he done the best he could,
but you know what it's like when
there's a hole in my boys over
~alls; if l don't mend it when I
wash it, it gets bigger than ever"
THAT evening at a monthly
n meeting of the South Chicago
Trades and Labor Assembly, her
husband, who is the secretary of
the council and>a capable labor
organizer, set forth his ideas:
organized labor will be from
IS per cent to so per cent for

There was a day when COM
munities were eager for an in
flux OF workers and coolish to-
ward those who came only to
loaf. That day will not come
hereabouts in the year 1885. II

tions, so that you have almost
nothing left for the other
climaXes.
T. would advise that when you
l. stop at the first parking place,
you just get out and say "Humph,
what are you looking at?" to your
fellow travellers, and then say
"Oh, is that what you mean, that
down there? Humph," and then
get back in the car.

war"
Over in West End, across the
Ohio River, Lewis Leonard, the
short, heavy-set International
Secretary of the Amalgamated AS
sociation of Iron, Steel and Tin
Workers. dropped this high eXplo-
sive in my lap:
I want to predict seriously that
Roosevelt will get more labor votes
in 1886 than he did in 1882.
"Organized labor is entirely for
him and unorganized labor knows
he has done more for it than any
half dozen Presidents put to-
gether. -. When the Wagner
law passes the court tests We'll
repeat in steel what the United
Miners did; we'll have every
worker in our unions"
ATOW go with me to the steel
L v suburb of Homestead, of in
famous memory.
Here in 1892 armed thugs in
barges foated down the beautiful
Monongahela and poured rifle fire
into striking pickets in the first
labor massacre in American his
tory.
A block from this same battle
ground lies Ammon-st with its
rows of old-fashioned tenement
shacks, where families live in two
and three rooms, without modern
conveniences.
In the doorway of frame
house in rear lot I stood and
talked to a woman in torn and
ragged dress. Her brown hair was
tousled and unkempt, but there
was something decent and pa
thetically fine about her.
MY husband has just gone to
the mills" she explained. I'VE
have three children. He gets
about four days work week, at
$3.50 a day. We can barely scrape

way tunnels have you seen in
your travels? Not many, for
there aren't many. This is a long
one too, almost 1000 feet. 1t was
blasted through solid rock.
AS you leave the tunnel. there is
wide parking place to the left,
and you stop and get out and
look back down at the miles and
miles of valley and foothills
through which you have been ap-
preaching the Skyline for an
hour.

GENEVA, Nov. 5.-Your correspondent had his
" first view of diplomatic preparations for the
next World War when representatives of many
tionS met in the temporary Palace of Peace to set
the date for cracking down Signor MuSsolin with
a boycott.
This punishment is to be applied in the name Of
humanity for protection of Ethiopia, barefoot
member of the club, but its effect is to protect the
British Empire. It is just well to accept at the

finished. The first 80 miles were
opened about year ago. The
second 80 miles are open, but not
hard-surfaced yet. They haven't
started on the last 30 miles. So
far it has cost less than a million
and half.
1t was all done under contract,
but the CCC boys helped out with
the light work. There are eight
or nine CCC camps in Shenan-
doah Park. Four of them are
along the 80 miles that now con-
stitute the real Skyline Drive.
The boys build stone guard
rails, trim ledges, fix "overlooks"
so you can park and see. The
camps are. neat and clean, their
green barracks and little gravel
streets as trim as any army camp
you ever saw. The boys at work
wave at you as you drive by.
TT is getting cold up on that
l. ridge now. The wind whines
and whips the leaves, and it will
be showing soon. Autumn has
touched the hillsides and passed
on to use its brush on mountains
farther south.
But there is still magnificence
up there, for the brilliance of the
leaves has faded ever so slightly
into gentler harmony with the
distant blue haze.
Climax is waiting for you al
most within the first mile of the
Skyline. You turn and climb
and turn. and suddenly you see a
hole in the hill ahead of you, and
you drive in and you're in a
tunnel.

ROOn,ing the Boom

MIAMI and Miami Beach are sharing in build
A'A ing boom. The merchants of these towns are
eager to have potential purchasers everywhere know
about the amount Of new construction which is
going on. 1t isn't any trouble at all to get any,
body to point out to you the house that Floyd Glib
5ons bought and remodeled the house that is be-
ing prepared for H. I. Phillips, the coumnist and
Kent Coopers name is also mentioned because he
is general manager of the Associated Press and
bought in on the boom.
New hotels and houses going up everywhere
Sound the trumpet and the drum so that all good
investors may beat pathway to the door But
there Is just one hitch in making the matter too
public. Florida does not want artisans in the build
ing trades to hear about the boom.
According to the Miami Herald recent survey
found that there are in Florida three times as
many experienced local people as can possibly be
given work even if the most optimistic expectations
are realized as to the number of people who may
find employment
This is an interesting statement, and it is douby
interesting since it happened by a strange conci-
dence to appear in the Miami Herald Just one COL
umn removed from editorial denouncing Or
ganized labor for its attempt to shorten hours

TN other words" says the sage inspired by Frank
b, Shuts, real competition, efficient and en-
hanced production and decrease in prices will
place more needs conveniences and luxuries within
reach Of the people"
But then as my eye turns to the right on the
same page I find more editorial comment on the
survey OF Florida employment and the status of the
willing workers who would sell their labor and take
part In the enhancement of the boon-"They should
not come unless they are fully equipped with suf-
nclent money to pay for transportation both COM
ing and returning and their expenses while here"
This is sound advice" says the Miami Herald
"and If needed will not only help relieve the en-
ployment situation in Florida but will unduly
reckless people from much suffering and humiliation
after they arrive here"
And IN all this 1 must confess I find curious
topsy turvy reversal of older modes of thinking If
playboy came to Florida equipped with fat bank
roh and he were intent upon playing roulette and
betting on the horse races he would be welcomed
as the most desirable of visitors. Nor do 1 mean to
be hypocrte and suggest that he should be turned
away at the border along with the htch-hkers In
fact but for the phrase "a fat bankroll the whole
thing might be the story of my life in Florida
