hangs a colored drawing, made by the genial old gentleman in October, 1929. Foxy Grandpa is pictured, in bright blue suit, shak- ing hands with the two girls, who are dressed just as they used to dress in those days. The picture is entitled, "A Smile from Foxy Grandpa" Beneath is the inscrip- ton: ITO Mary and Patrica Driscoll from their dear daddy's friend, Carl E. Schultze."
 The lovable old fellow brought that picture to my office, taste fully framed, and beamed when I told him how proud the girls would be.

During my term of syndicate editing, MT. Schultze was fre- quent caller. I never was able to do anything important toward promoting his work, because pub lie taste had turned away from his simple, kindly humor, and was satiating itself with feigned feuds of radio comics and wise cracks or the rough-and-tumble style of strips. The once well-to-do car- toonist always received my opin- ions with respectful good-humor, and was never insistent.
 In recent years the old gentle man lived at a Y. M. c. A., where kindly director found some sort of useful work whereby the artist could earn his bread. The gallant soul of Foxy Grandpa never sur- rendered to the misfortunes of this world. He went over the river with his head up and smile upon his friendly face.

Dues Collectors
And Workers Clash
Al Steel Plant
Injury to Eight
Focuses Attention on
S. W. O. G. Drive
~ the Associated Press.

~ VIC ASSOClhJeQ TIeSS.
PITTSBURGH, March 3 [P).-The
sclash of dues collecting pickets with
workers of the Carnegie Illinois
Steel Corps plant in nearby Clair
ton focused attention today upon
efforts of the c. I. O.'s Steel Work.
4ers Organizing Committee to gain
the right to collect dues inside mills.
4 The disturbance yesterday-when
!. eight persons were injured and a
dozen automobiles damaged-was
the most serious marking series of
collection drives. The drives had
abated in intensity recently due to
stiff protests by operators.
The first official protest to Philip
Murray, chairman of the S. w. o. c.,
came several months ago from the
Jones & Laughlin Steel Corp, which
has contract giving the union eX-
elusive bargaining rights.
Held Contract Violated.
Pickets had interfered with the
production in the j. & L. mill at
Aliquippa, near here, and the COM
pany was understood to have told
the union it considered such action
a direct violation of the contract
In conferences which followed the
question of permitting shop stewards
to collect dues near pay windows in
the mills was brought up but not
finally settled.
Union activity in the last few
weeks has centered upon mills of
the United States Steel Corp, which
was the first large producer to sign
a contract giving the S. w. o. c.
bargaining rights for its members
only.
A clash at the nearby Donora
plant of the American Steel & Wire
Co., United States Steel subsidiary,
brought another protest to the union
and conference to iron out the
problem has been tentatively ar
ranged.
The industry expects the decision
at that conference, which has been
delayed by absence of officials, to
settle definitely the steel corpora
tion's position regarding the dues
collections.
Says Problem Is Local.
The union claims to have arrange
ments with more than one-third of
the 565 companies with whom it
has contracts whereby dues are COL
lected as workers are paid. One
source asserted dues collection with
m plants already was being per-
mitted in some departments of the
Carnegie Illinois mills in Gary, Ind,
and South Chicago
Mr.. Murray reiterated today the
question of dues collection still re-
manned chiefly local problem but
one which eventually would be set
tied by the committees Executive
Board.
A checkup on the dues collection
situation brought to light today the
fact that in JohnstoWn the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor is making
a definite bid for members among
workers of the Bethlehem Steel
Corp. -
An A. F. of L. organizer has been
there for more than week. The
S. w. O. c. predicted some time ago
the Labor Board, in line with it's
ruling against the Bethlehem Ship
building Co.'S independent union,
would order the Bethlehem's en-
ploye representation group dissolved
and direct an election to determine
the bargaining agency for the COM
panys $4,000 workers.

It happened that he chose to do
this on the very day that the
Laughing Brook began to rise so
fast and that Jerry Muskrat got so
worried that he left his snug bed
room and climbed up on the roof
of his house. Chatterer could look
down and see the water rising but
being safe up in the tree he didn't
give that 50 much as a thought.

the Laughing Brook but he took no
heed. He had heard it like that
every spring. He didn't care how
the water might rise in the Laugh

there in the Big Hickory Tree he
was quite safe. So Chatterer curled
up and didn't even dream.

a great sheet of water. You see in
the night while Chatterer slept the
water kept right on rising until at
last it had crept over the banks OF
the Laughing Brook and the Smil-

out over the Green Meadows.
All of a sudden it came over
Chatterer that he was a sort OF

that had the Barclay plan been a

publicized far and wide. With

gladly embraced the opportunity
to substantiate in print and by

ION behalf Of the Diplomatic

health of the President OF the Re-
public of Liberia.
In response to congratulatory
remarks, President Barclay told
foreign representatives that it was
the aim of Liberians to have a
purely African State. He said:
"We fully realize how severely
critical are observers of the Lii
berian scene But they should
realize what it would appear, they
do not understand, that the aim
of Liberians is not to build up IN
Africa a pseudo-E European state.
Their objective is a state purely
African preserving what is best IN
the tradition of the race yet not
uninfluenced by those ideals OF
Justice, human liberty, and social
responsibility which have gradu-
ally developed by man everywhere
