One of the best acts i'm Wash
ington is a soundtrack of PreSi-
dent Murray Of the SteelWorkers
and the G. l. O., reciting from
memory the budgetary life and
times of an average worker in a
steel mill. Murray is easily one
of the more eloquent spellbind-
ers in Washington. He has learn
ed all the tricks of slow speech
from his old master John l..
Lewis. He knows the value Of
dramatic pause, and emphasis,
He has in addition a rich burr in
his speech, and he can drive
over bits Of sarcasm without
making people mad-something
Lewis never learned.
Murray's full speech on the
average steelworker's income
and expense, as delivered before
the War Labor Board panel
hearing the United StcelWorkers
of America petition TO break the
Little Steel formula, takes near
ly an hour. and it's tear jerk
err. 1t holds audiences like the
rhyme Of the Ancient Mariner.
Space doesn't permit giving
the whole thing, nor is there
time. SO this is not direct quotes
but a paraphraSc. You can put
in the burr and the oratorlcal
touches.
This average StcelWorker may
live in Calumet, Ill, says Mr..
Murray, which is seven and a
half miles from his work in
Gary, Ind. and the man must
ride on street car at cost OF
Is cents each way, because he
has no auto. This man lives with
his wife and two children in a
five-room house for which they
pay S32 month rent, because If
the man lived in Gary nearer his
work, he would have TO pay
more.
HASN'T HAD A NEW SUIT
The meals of this family aV-
erage 81 cents per person, and
that low figure includes 90 cents
which the head of the family
must pay for his lunch at the
mill every day.
This worker has had no new
suit this year, and no new shoes
for himself, though he did spend
S2.9l to have his shoes repair
ed. He has had TO buy Is pairs
of work gloves where normally
he would have bought five, be-
cause the quality of work
gloves is only one-third as good
as it was before the war. And in
three months he had to bl\
three pairs Of oVeralls al 50 a
suit, where ordinarily he would
have bought only one pair IN
three months, because the quail
ity is so poor.
For his wife he has bought
four dresses. and they have cost
him S2385. He has bought one
new pair Of shoes for his wife
too, and two pairs of shoes for
his little Riddles.
He did buy War Bonds, assign
ing 10 per cent Of his wages to
that as his patriotic duty, but nc
could not keep it up, partly be-

 E ENJOYED HERE

Juneau had a white Christmas and everyone seemed to enjoy it except the autoists-who had to put on chains.
 Snow, which began falling Sun day afternoon about 4 o'clock continued until early yesterday Then, after an interval of several hours, snow again fell for short time, alternating with light rain which rendered walking and driv- ing slippery and hazardous.
 Youngsters enjoyed sliding on Gold and Indian Streets and many snow- flights were staged, the soft damp snow being just right for snow-b -balling and the building of snow men, many of which were seen at various points in the city.
 Total snowfall covered the land scape to depth of from four to six inches.

Dynamite Is Placed Under Street Car Tracks in
 Front of Hotel

ATHENS, Dec. 26.-British Prime Minister Winston Churchill today sought to end the bloody Greek civil war as a British patrol re- ported it discovered a ton of dyna- mite under the street car lines op- posite the main doors of the Hotel Grand Bretagne. Officials of the Greek Government and It. Gen Scobie live in the hotel. The dis patch from Athens didn't say wheth- CT Churchill was staying at the hotel.
 The dynamite, which was ill boxes bearing German markings, was ap- parently, laid curing the. night as the area was carefully searched yesterday evening.
 Churchill arrived here yesterday, accompanied by Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden, as Athens echoed to the sound of street fighting between the left wing ELIAS partisans and Greek Government forces supported by British troops.
 Churchill conferred immediately with Field Marshal Alexander, AL lied Mediterranean Commander Herold McMillan, British Resident Minister in the Central Mediter- ranean and Greek Premier Papan- dreou.
