RAIL PAY CUT HIT
BY COMMUNISTS.
PIanks in Party Platform
May Be Brought Up for
Vote Today.
g> tie Associated Press.

~ LIE Associated PreSS.
NEW YORK, May 31.-The Com
munist party decided yesterday to
wage a campaign against the proposed
national cut in railroad wages and
then moved into a closed night ses-
sion for discussion of planks to be
included in the party platform.
The planks, presumably, will be
brought up for vote today.
A resolution recommending the rail-
road wage action was adopted by the
party in its tenth national conven-
ton.
If the wages of railroad workers
are reduced, it would undoubtedly
mark the beginning of a wage cut
drive affecting all of the basic in
dustries," declared Jack Johnstone,
Illinois delegate who introduced the
resolution. The cut has been sched-
uled for July /.
Prompt aStion by the full forces
of labor is necessary" Mr.. Johnstone
said Nothing short of a joint anti
wage cut policy by the C. I. O., A. F.
L. and railroad brotherhoods, backed
up by vigorous and strike action
when such becomes necessary, will
suffice to repel the growing attacks
now being made upon the workers
wage scales"
Leading the floor discussion of the
resolution, Earl Brofder, leader of the
party, said. This report by Comrade
Johnstone should be the starting point
for new and greater drive for one
powerful American trade union move
ment." No details OF the campaign
were discussed.
Mother" Ella Reede Bloor, 76 vet
eran party worker and delegate from
Pennsylvania, reported rapid growth
OF the womens branch and stressed
the need for disseminating Communist
propaganda in the big womens Or
ganizations of the country.

I hope that the Department

Communists who are trying to
provoke war between Germany
and the United States by set

ships.
Germany is a friendly nation.
Germany sends an ambassador
here and the United States
sends an ambassador to Berlin.
Many of the pioneers of Amer
lea came from Germany and
they are good citizens.
But the Communists seek the
downfall of the United States.
They tried to wreck Germany,
but Der Fuehrer stopped that.
So now they make trouble be-

Europe and the Americas.

Well, gentlemen" I nor any
one else will take your advice,
because if we did we would soon
be doing the goose step.
The democratic countries are
NOT going to get accustomed to

cause we don't need to. We're

A ReprOOf

Your editorial about the in
significant, unconscious habit Of
cab drivers driving with one
hand, is not of enough impor-
tance to be an editorial. 1t re-
fleets on the good name that
The Times has always been
proud Of.
Don't you think, Mr.. Editor,
that cab drivers are also hui
mans, that get tired driving
with hands all the time? And
that they are entitled once in
a while to rest their driving
hands alternately? Have you
figured out how much taxes a
single taxi driver pays to the
District? And he gets no added
protection from the authorities,
but on the other hand is always
subject to criticisms and what
notS from someone like you?
Why don't you wake up and
go out after more important
subjects for your editorials in
stead Of trying to hang on to
your job as a fault finder? I
am glad to hear that you under
stand how hard cab drivers
work to make a bare existence,

right slap bang in the middle
of prohibition. A girl was ar
rested there for adjusting a
garter which she wore above a
shapely knee. That gives you
an idea of how beastly pure the
Sesquicentennial was. 1t went
the way of the first San Fran
cisco show-and rightly so.
Chicago'S second world
Fair opened in 1933-and ran
for two years. We were in Mr..
Hoover's depression then and
had yet to slide along the ban
listers of a synthetic prosperity
into Mr.. Roosevelt's depression.
You could have got long odds
that the Chicago show would
be a flop-and at the start it
was a flop.
And then along came Sally
Rand-naked and with a fan
in each hand!
Rightly, as much credit as
goes to Sally should go to Andy
Rebori, the Chicago architect
who built and leased the Streets
of Paris at the fair. This was
a collection of cafes, dance
halls, cabarets, bars and peep
shows erected in the French
manner and encircling a SWIM
ming pool which was boarded
over three times a night to
carry Sally and her fans.
THE fame of Andy Rebori's
= Streets Of Paris-and Of
Sally - eclipsed the returns
from the tremendously publ.
cized fair itself. The Midwest
erners among them in all
probability the fellow who COM
planned in New York the other
day-came to Chicago not so
much to see the fair as to see
the Streets of Paris. But they
had to go through the most of
the grounds in order to reach
Rebori's Show-and so while
the fair organization itself was
just able to retire its bonds,
Rebori, his associates and his
concesSion-renters made for
tunes.
Girls not afraid to take off
their clothes thronged to Chi
cago. There was one in every
concession along the midway.
They even dug up poor. old
Fatima, now in her sixties.
They wanted to bill her as the
Sally Rand of the Fair of 1893,
but Fatima stood on her own
starring rights. She just sat
and knitted in her torso-reveal-
ing costume of yesteryear.
Sally Rand is getting on in
years-and is definitely pugna-
cious. But there are other po-
tential bubble and fan dancers
emerging from or still in the
high schools, at the cross roads,
and in the big cities. Mr..
Whalen in New York and the
gentlemen in charge of the San
Francisco Fair Of next year had
better gather them in-and also
see to it that those menacing
barriers to art be torn down.
Otherwise there will be a flop
on both coasts.
