The individual American spends
more of his time during the month
of July in discussing the virtues
of other months Of the year than
he does during any other month
of the year.
Nor have we filched that asser'
ton from the profound writings
of any other observer-contempo-
rary or otherwise. This depart,
ment takes full responsibility for
it and intends to copyright 1t
even as the ink dries.
And the sole reason we have for
making the above statement is
that it lends us a certain juStifica-
ton for talking about the coming
month Of November during this
present month of July.
Not that November holds out
anything gladstone for us. We
weren't even born in that month.
In fact, where we originated,
the month Of November meant
nothing more than 80 days Of
snow and long gray afternoons.
Thirty days of a bitter cold

tically.
Ever since we announced for
Paul MCGEE, the Police Court bail
if playboy, that he had holed in
for the summer at Chevy Chase,
one Of his rival playboys, George
Winfield Hurd, has insisted that
we accord him the same prom
inence in this diatribe on the Ma
TONS Capital night life.
We will, George, old boy, when
you have shown you're of the
same intense degree of playboy
stuff that makes Paul the cyno-
sure of Chevy Chase patrons eyes.
To date, however, Georges &C.
compliShmentS have seemed pale
when stacked beside the doings Of
that inveterate rounder whose She
naniganS he would approximate.

And at the La Paree, AL Sakol
persists in the idea that Emory
Daugherty has willed him an ap-
preciative gang Of patrons and
subsequent admirers. An idea pre-
cipitated by the fact that thou
sands have cheered his shoe-filling
blue notes to the echo.
And Dick Butler, of the Ham
iltOn Hotels managerial staff,
protests that Moe Baer'S strains
have him agOg with their ten
dency to nullify his Wanted cool
ing system.
So much SO, says Dick, that he
has decided to abandon the
Hamilton slogan of Gas Cool as
an EskimO's IglOO," in favor Of
"AS Cool as the IglOO Of an Es-
kimO Who Doesn't Have to
Simmer to Moe Baer's Tunes"
Which strikes us as being bit
unwieldly as a slogan.
All Of which finds us babbling
towards the end of our stint with
nothing but Milton Barrel and his
effete Dude Ranch to talk about.

quite prepared us. Thirty days
of wondering whether or not
we had been decent enough during
the year to merit a visit from
Santa Claus next month.
But what prompted this pratt.
tie about November was the
realization that a month or so
before this coming Christmas,
Bill Strickland and his Capt.
tolianS will have completed three
solid years of orchestrationS at
the Lotus Restaurant.
Quite a while, we say, to be
orchestrating at one spot. And

Originally scheduled for Thurs.
day, the inaugural appearance of
Mildred Harris Chaplin at the
Cocoanut Grove was delayed un-
til last night due to an oversight
on somebody's part in Cleveland
where the Republicans, If mem
DRY serves US, held their conven-
ton.
Supplanting the departed Frank
Mccormick as master of cere-
monies at the Grove is a fellow
by the name of Eddie Kinley,
who is putting over this new

The audience says Cecil who?"

Which is precisely what they
ought to Say-Cecil or no Cecil.

Shelters Bad?
Here's HOW TO
EUdde Them

Tips to householders on how to
eliminate the mosquito nuisance
were issued yesterday by DR..
George C. Rutland, District
Health Officer.
The buzzing of the winged pests,
which has been looked on as an
almost inevitable accompaniment
to midsummer nights, can be kept
down, DR.. Rutland said, if the
householder follows these instruc-
tions:
/. Do away with all containers
such as old cans, buckets, old
boxes, etc., which may hold
water and breed mosquitoes.
2. Cover all wells, rain barrels,
cisternS, fire buckets, ETC., with
screen wire 16 meshes to the
inch so that they cannot get
to the water to lay their eggs.
3. Locate and oil once a week all
floor drains, catch basins and
other water holding recepta-
cles. This oiling should con-
tinue until october IS, using
kerosene or light fuel oil.
4. See that your caves trough
and roof drains are draining
properly.
S. Have any ornamental pond or
other similar water retainer
protected by covering or oiling,
or place therein some species
Of fish.

NEW YORK, July 18 Q.N.S0
:, Brig. Gen. Hugh S. johnson, who
as head of the now defunct MIRA
played q leading role in settling
six major labor disturbances, eX,
= pressed the belief in an interview
:. today that there would be no ma.
tion-wide steel strike between now

predicted, adding:

~, Maritime Trouble
Asked where the next big labor
disturbance is likely to break,
johnson replied:
- "The most dangerous Situa-
ton was bituminOuS coal until
Lewis got those agreements un-
- der NRA. Four hundred thou
sand miners were desperate. If
those agreements flop the situa-
ton will again be desperate in
coal. But right now coal is
peaceful.

Coasts. think their agreements
expire around September l."
johnson said the MIRA brought
millions of persons into the labor
movement. The danger to the
movement, he explained, is from
the inexperienced, radical, younger
element who "try to run away with
it," The hope lies in honest ad-
ministration by experienced labor
leaders. He admitted some labor
leaders are racketeerS. He said:
- 1.-THE passing of NRA was a
blow to the country. 1 admit
NRA needed q lot of straighten-
ing out. Noncompliance was the
mistake. Another thing: The
chiselers should have been dis
ciplined. Some employers, of

johnson told how he thought
the Democratic Administration
was headed places the first six
months Of Roosevelt'S regime, and
of his subsequent disappointment
when policies were suddenly
changed. He said:
"'When 1 went into the Admin
& istratiOn it was intended that
the fiscal policy remain sound,
especially with regard to encOur-
20 aging investment in capital and
heavy goods. That is where go
per cent of unemployment lies.
But the Administrations atti-
,.stude became such people were
afraid to invest their money.
=, "The plan at the outset for
; the rehabilitation of agriculture
involved two elements: First,
bi.lateral trading with other
countries so as to barter down
the barriers to our own exports
and second, an outright sub
.sidy to equalize the disparity
between farm prices and indus
trial prices without any deStruc-
i, ton of crops.

on Q Sunday afternoon when 2S00 men listened unmolested to the or. gani2ers' arguments. The speeches, spirited but temperate, included one by Lieut.. Gov. Thomas Kennedy of Pennsylvania, who pledged, They're not going to get away with the stuff they have pulled on the workers up to this timel"
 Workers stayed throughout the whole long afternoon of speeches and then filed solemnly over to Munhall to pay tribute to those slain in 1892.
 Governor Earle backed Kennedy's stand in assuring that civil rights of oil citizens would be respected and further, that in case of Q strike, relief would be furnished.
 "r don't believe In denying re. lief to anyone who Is willing to forego . @ or $4 Q day job to exist on S1 cents day relief" Earle added.

Fire attributed to spontaneous combustion burned to the ground q two-story barn owned by Anthony DiBrigida on Scott road shortly be- fore midnight Saturday night. eev- erai tons of 1ew-mown hay had been stored inside, according to Pri- vate Eugene Legge of the fire fllar- shal's stan, who investigated. Dam. age was estimated ct ei,E00, and was reported covered by insurance.
 The alarm was teiephoned to headquarters ct 1i:2O o'clock and firennen arrived at the scene shortly afterward to find that the barn was e quarter mile from the nearest hydrant on the Cheshire-Wa Waterbury highway at Rockville. Acting Deputy Fire Chief Stephen ]. Bloomfield was ir charge of hrefnen. The fire spread to c tool shed nearby, but was extingtiished and firemen turned their attention to keeping the blaze from the house which was only 20 feet distant.

Want to Be Let Alone

But the large majority expressed views of which this Is typical: "I've been out of work pretty near three years. Now I'm back, steady. The pay ain't what 1t ought to be, but It's regular and It's gettin' better.
 "I'm gettin' my debts cleared up A little. I wish they'd let me alone. I'm afraid the drive means a strike and don't want to strike.
 T don't think the company union amounts to much, but it's some- thing, and it's more than VIC used to have, and 1t doesn't cost any thing. I wish the company and the union would both stop this whip saving back and forth. All I want is work" .,.
 That is the majority for which the O, I. O. is angling with mass meetings, personal contacts, radio speeches, and handbills.
 That is the majority fer which the companies arc angling with house organs, greater concessions through their representation plans pressure through foremen and boss es, public appeals.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-07-27
Spying Less Annoying

Company espionage unQuestion. ably still exists, but 1t is also less obvious ad prosecuting than it used to be. Union organizers say they have been followed and annoyed. Company officials deny 1t, neverthe- less they know perfectly well what the unions are doing. But up to now there has been little actual physical haraSsEnent of organizers.
 All these things tend to assure 0 free choice by the men of steel as to whether they want to join the union.
 What are they going to do with that choice? Are they, as John Lewis believes, "a mighty upsurge of human sentiment" for organization2 Or are they, as company execu- tives repeatedly assured me. selther indifferent or hostile to the union and not e hatful will join unless c strike iS called or plcketS brought in from the mine country"9
 Conversations with dozens of steel men, from Harrisburg Co Youngstown and Cleveland, lead Co this conolusion::
 A minority, perhaps 70 per cent, are hot for organization ready to aid actively tho union organizers in their field and make sacrifices for the cause of organization. They are mostly younger men, usually coTa- parativoly new in the mill.
 Another minority, probably even smaller, Is actively hostile to the union. They are usually older men who remember the payless months on strike in 1919, and who have since worked their way up to good paying jobs in the mills.

Trend Just a Guess

No one can be sure how the workers will decide. A large pro- portion of them are youngish men (more than half have entered the mills since the 1919 strike), which makes 1t harder to gauge their stand.
 Union organizers count on en- listing them by thousands, certain that organization principles are in tune with their depression educa- ton, confident that any incidents" of discharges or violence will drive them into the union ranks.
 Executives are equally sure that the workings of the representa- ton plans" have sold these newer workers on the company's good ir- tentions, and that improving hourly pay, increasing hours of work, bet ter conditions, will hold them firm against union approaches.
 Tn these workers hands lies the issue. In their hands lies the fu- ture of organized labor, perhaps of all labor.
 It lies in the hands of Q sweaty man swishing a shovelful of lime stone into a white-hot open-hearth furnace in Homestead; in the hande of an alert roller, deftly moving levers and switches in the high pulpit" of a rolling mill in Youngs- town; in the hands of a Lithuanian yardman trundling scrap iron in a wheelbarrow in the vast plant al Gary, Ind; in the hands of young Czech longing steel sheets out of . shear" at Birmingham, Ala, or oi an old man mopping up the wash house of Q Cleveland blast furnace
