To make all, except one, of the 13 tricks in hand is a thrill to most bridge players. The bidding and making of slams is one of the most attractive features of contract, even when the opponents do not en- ter the auction.
 How much greater, then, is the thrill of making a slam in the face of sound opening two-bid by op- ponents who place their require ments so high in trick taking strength that the opening bid is a practical guarantee of game.

unrestrained exercise of the liberties
of self-expression and participation
in measures affecting their welfare.
Anything short of these liberties,
whether by employer coercion or by
autocratic union methods and leader
ship, would be contrary to the ideals
attainable in democratic society"
Will steel heed these wise words !?
Dr. Watkins, who made the speech
containing these paragraphs at a
banquet attended by many steel mag
mates, doesn't believe it will. But the
report of DR.. Watkins, properly cir
culated, would bring public opinion to
bear on the issue in way that even
steel would find very hard to resist.

EVERYDAY THOUGHTS

When you are hurt
Who undergoes the physical pain
and mental suffering?
Who runs the risk of impairment
causing permanent disability?
Who suffers loss of morale which
comes with serious disablement?
Who loses one-third of his wages
even if compensated for injury?
Who has the status of his family
disrupted by reduced income?
Who must regulate his expenditures
to make up this deficiency?
No compensation check
Can ease your suffering on bed
of pain.
Can allay the grief of your family
and friends
Can retrieve the loss you suffer as
a result of idleness.
Can eradicate the bitter memories
of suffering and sorrow
Can compensate you for the loss
Of an eye, arm or leg.
Can restore the mental attitude
toward life and your job that you
once had

viii help in the ones we know are yet

will help in the ones we know are yet
to come.
"The problem should not be passed
over to the states so lightly. We be-
bieve firmly, in this connection, that
the report should contain positive
statement that the program will be
administered without discrimination
as to race, religious or political affil-
iation or organizational member

Cooperative Effort Advocated
Mr.. Blackstone believes further
that in the South, at least, the small
individual homestead is doomed TO
failure, and that what is needed is
cooperative effort under enlightened
federal supervision"
And then he comes to passage
which will arouse response from
organized workers:
eve are naturally strong in our
conviction that the report should con-
tain a section endorsing the unioniza-
tion of these workers in the field as
a means of providing an instrument
tality through which all the detectives
expressed in the report can best be
obtained For through unionization
can and will be developed responsible
leadership and the ability to pull to-
gether for common betterment."

WHAT NEXT?

A single bladed propeller, long
thought impossible, has been invented
by W. W Everts, of Baltime, and has
been successful on small airplanes.
Everts recently tested the odd-looking

c. M. SHOWN
Using Six Spy Agencies
Last Four Years

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-Sena-
tor La Toilette denounced industrial
spying as the ruin of collective bar
gaining, at hearing of the senate
civil liberties committee productive of
startling facts. Senator Thomas de-
livered talk on fear which the au-
dience understood and approved, but
of which the General Motors witness
then on the stand did not seem to
understand word Six different spy
agencies have been employed by
General Motors in the last four years,
and some of the time, one agency was
spying on another. Alfred Marshall,
a G. M. personnel manager, laid the
growth of spying to "agitators," and
showed in spite of weasel words his
feeling that spying is right and neces-
sary. And another G.. M witness told
how the personnel men from the IL
biggest corporations in the land meet
each month in New York to discuss
labor questions.
do you discuss industrial spying ?"
asked La Toilette; and when the wit
ness answered in the negative, the
senator said:
you're not quite intimate enough
for that, are you?"
Senator's Score Espionage
The use of this labor espionage, !"
La Toilette went on, "has proved to
be one of the most effective weapons
in destroying collective bargaining.
| The evidence is overwhelming that
the injection of these labor spies into
unions, the fact that some of them
get to be officers of unions and cart
Ireports back and forth to the agency
offices has proved beyond any doubt
that they destroy collective bargain
ing.'
Senator Thomas was gentler, but
just as effective. "This spy business
has become habit, growing habit, !"
he said; land all you get out of it is
fear. You have fear to begin with;
then you spend good money-more
than SS00,000 of it, to buy more fear.
"The fair dealing and equal rights
which make democracy have worked
very well in government. Why don't
you try them in industry" 2"
Marshall Blames 'Agitators"
But Marshall, then on the stand,
could do little more than blame agita-
tors, and say that the company had a
right to know what the men were
thinking.
The II corporations whose person
mel managers meet monthly in New
York include General Motors, General
Electric, Standard Oil of New Jersey,
U. S. Rubber, u. S. Steel, Bethlehem
Steel, international Harvester, Amer
lean Telephone & Telegraph, Goodyear
Tire and Rubber, Irving Trust Co., Du
Pont, and Westinghouse.
The six spy agencies were Pinker-
ton, Corporations Auxiliary, Railway
Audit & Inspection, Charles L. Wat
kins Service, O'Neil Industrial Serv.
ice, and w. j. Burns At one time
10 agents of the Pinkerton gang were
spying on the Corporations Auxiliary
men-and sending the bills to General
Motors.
