WHO PAYING?
BY ED HOLDEN

Them Democratic and Republic guns
have stop exploding E. but you can still
hear the rumbling. Information are
telling me that it costing Mr.. Landon
and his chums MORE to get defeated
than it do Mr.. Roosevelt to get elected.
Them Republics have spend over ONE
MILLION DOLLAR and the Demo-
CRATES have spend similar. Mr.. Roose-
welt threw in S675.00 Just imagine!
Only S675OO to be President of L. S.!
Whata bargain. But l like knowing
where do them two million dollar come
from? Who threw it in? were other
fellows looking for bargains also?
Thank yOH please

Oscar of the Waldorf, known far
and wide as a chef, isn't a chef
at all and doesn't care for the ap-
pelation. Once he wrote me so
when I classed him thus. A COM
pilation of recipes years ago under
the title Oscars Cook Book" gave
him that standing and he has never
been able to shake it. Nearly every
writer refers to him as chef. He
has occupied niche as greeter or
host in his years of service. He
plans and arranges banquets and
large dinner parties and knows
much about cuisine, but has never
actually donned the chefs uniform.

LOWELL HAS NEW
 STRIKE ON HAND

Lowell, Mass, June 1-(UP)-- More than 1900 members of the United Shoe and Leather Workers Union, an American Federation of Labor affiliate, went on strike here today for higher wages.
 Fearing possible violence, Chris Laganas, operator of a non-union shop, closed his plant, throwing an additional 500 out of work tempor- ariiy.
 The strike vote was taken ct a meeting. attended by 500 union members in Merrirnack hall. Sanc- ton had been granted by the Lowell joint council, which negotiated fu- tilely with manufacturers last week.
 Plants affected by the strike in. cluded those of the federal shoe, Economy Shoe, Lowell Shoe and Chelmsford Shoe companies.
 Some 1900 non-tinion workers have been invited to join the strik- CTS. Picketing probably will start later today.

 Wave of Discontent
 The mountain wave of discontent in the rank and file of the 20th army resulted from the action of its commander, Gen. Sung Cheh-Y Yuan, in agreeing to accept appointment of 20 Japanese advisors to his nlili- tary forces.
 Some of the advisors already have arrived.
 Gen. Sung, former governor of Chahar, was the leader of the Chi- nese campaign which opposed Jap- ans annexation of Jehol province and subsequently, suffered defeat be- ore Japanese guns in the great wall passes.
 Since then he has cast his lot with the Japanese authorities in North China.

tons were Q few scenic lines in the western mountain country, which were allowe dto charge extra be. Cslise of their added expense in chu6ang up and down mountains, and certain lines, such as the Long Island railroad, which still may charge commuters more than the basic two cents. All is not lovely, however, in railroad circles. Suits have been filed, bus rates have been reduced, andw the passenger fare situation, insofar as 1t concerns the eastern carriers, approaches the chaotic.
 Gcme Reads HAG Gut
 For the lest several years, south- ern and western railroads have been operating ct the two cent basis, or below, on an experimental basis. In ell cases they found increased traf- ilc more than offset the fare reduc. tions, insofar as net profits ere con- Cerned.
 Operating on the theory that 1t cost no more to haul full car than c half-enpty one, the interstate commerce commission decided on February 2S to make the low fares permanent not only in the south and the west, but also fin the east, where the cream of the passenger trafiic is skinned.
 Eastern Reads Protested
 This brought . concerted protest from every eastern carrier, except the Baltimore e Ohio, whose elderly president, Daniel "Uncle Dan" Wil- lard, had been advocating lower fares for years.
 M. W. Clement, president of the Pennsylvania, for instance, called the order Q great disappointment" and said it undoubtedly would re- suit in a terriflc loss" to the Penn sylvaria.
 when the IcC resected a ccm- promise offer 23 eastern railroads filed suit in federal court ct New York to have the order set aside. They charged the new rates would amount to coniiscation of their pro. perty.
 Commissioner Claude R. Porter answered formally in O petition which held the order was not arbi- trary and that it was fully supported by the evidence.
 AdveEtislng Campaigns The passenger departments of nearly ali protesting railroads be- gan vigorous advertising campaigns, telling the public how eheaply it could ride on the steam trains. Hardly had they done this before the bus companies lowered their charges again, to keep the diffeEentiRl be- tween a train and Q bus ride intact. Calling it's new rate reduction "the most drastic and general in the his- tory of the motor bus transporta- tion," one large bus system an- nounced fare cuts down to 1 l-4 cents per mile, or lower. Virtually all lorg-dlstaiice trips will cost less than two cents a mile. New England Reads Boston, June 1--(Upl-New Enge land railroads today noted Q slight picIk-1p ia passenger trafEic attrib- ntable to the new lower fares.
