can use their right hand better
than right-handers can use their
left, but that the palm and finger

Mr. Hull, Secretary of State,
sailed for South America six hours
late, to help bring peace to the
world, or at least help set a good
example on these two continents.
He left a pier "double-picketed";
the strike tied up his ship, which
had to bring six non-striking seamen
out to the secretary's boat,
waiting patiently near the Statue
of Liberty.
After peace is brought to the
world, the next step will be to
bring peace to United States industry.
You may read some day:
"The House. Senate and Supreme
Court could not meet; the President
has moved over to the New

Furnace Tenders let all the fires go
out. while, in sympathy, the Electric
union turned off all lights and the

There must be. for public necessities,

better plan than the strike plan,
and one that would be just to workers.
This country makes some things
better than any other country?automobiles,

instance?and Englishmen know it.
The late Irving Thalberg. vice president
of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, left
35,000 shares of Loew moving picture
stock. As soon as the large
block was offered for sale. Englishmen
bought it all, by trans-Atlantic

this country is one NOT to be sold

London, with the biggest floating

That is like trying to humanize

The biggest crowd seen in Washington

tell the President, free of charge,
how it could be run better, must
wait, probably until his return from

Voltaire's learned Dr. Pangloss

"New Imperialist War"
Coming. Says VoroshilofF
"CHAT a new "imperialist" war
is coming soon was the opinion i
expressed by Soviet Defense Com- |
rnissar Klementi E. Voroshiloff in
; an address at the E
19th annual celebration
of the Russian 9
revolution, and he $ .. nj
declared Russia fa
would be ready to
defend itself
adequately in the MLf- *
conflict. 'JSL
'"The worst enemies
of the toilers jjJ
?imperialists of every
shade and denomination
- are *"rosh.loff
continuing frenzied preparations for
new pillage and usurpations," Voroshiloff
said, "and the implacable
enemies are preparing to attack
Russia.
"The soviet union is firmly deter- !
mined that its Red army be j
prepared to rout the enemy on whatever
territory they may dare to '
appear.
"While defending the cause of j
peace, the soviet government is |
working ceaselessly to strengthen its
defense power. Never will the enemies
and incendiaries of war succeed
in crossing the sacred and inviolate
borders of the land of the
Soviets.
"The people of the U. S. S. R. !
now are more than prepared to
deliver a crushing blow at all who
may dare to encroach on the independence,
wealth and honor of
our state."
Spanish Government
Flees From Madrid
\\7T1ILE the Fascist insurgents
were smashing their way into
Madrid and hurling shells among
its chief buildings, the Socialist government
of Spain, headed by Premier
Fancisco Largo Caballero, fled
from the capital and set itself up
in Valencia on the Mediterranean
coast. The capture of Madrid by
the rebels seemed certain and this,
it was believed, would be followed
by recognition of the Fascist government
by several powers, including
Portugal and Italy and perhaps
Germany. The first nation to accord
this recognition was the Central
American republic of Salvador.
It is not to be assumed that
this would end the civil war, immediately
or soon. Caballero, it was
reported, believed the loyalists
could best continue the struggle
from the south, and it was claimed
they had strong concentrations at
Valencia, Cartegena, Alicante and
Albacete. Moreover, there were indications
that they would soon receive
open aid from Russia and perhaps
France. Leon Blum, the
French premier, told a Socialist
meeting that he was ready to scrap
the non-intervention pact arid help
Caballero if Great Britain would
join in such action. This caused
consternation among the British
statesmen.
Fighting in the suburbs of Madrid
was continuous and bloody. The
casualties on both sides were heaw.
and the Fascist bombardment by
artillery and planes killed and
: wounded hundreds in the center of
the city. The Socialist defenders had
been ordered to hold their posts
regardless of losses, and they
fought bravely and stubbornly.
Navy and Army Growth
Noted in Reports
C ECRETARY of the Navy Claude
^ Swanson, who it Ts believed may
retire from the cabinet, made his
annual report to the President showing
that the navy had made considerable
progress in its program to
build up to full treaty strength.
At the end of the 1936 fiscal year
last June 30, the secretary said,
the navy had under construction 79
vessels. Further, the 1937 appropriations
act provided for the building
| of 18 vessels as replacements for
over-age ships and for the beginning
of construction in 1937 of two
battleships.
The secretary emphasized the
need for auxiliary vessels, which
service and supply combat vessels,
as necessary to the maximum eflfi1
ciency of the fleet. Present auxiliary
vessels are old and unfit and should
i be repaced with modern craft, he
1 said.

Peace Move in Labor I
Federation Fails 1
P OR a day or two it seemed that
" the two factions in the American 1
Federation of Labor might get to- gether
before the convention opening
in Tampa on November 16. But
plans for a conference between
President William Green and John
L. Lewis, leader of the C. I. O., fell
through when the former said he
had no power to reinstate the suspended
unions. Lewis and his chief
supporters held a two day meeting
in Pittsburgh, after which he said:
"The convention will determine
the future of the C. I. O. If it
supports the arbitrary and insolent
attitude of the executive council,
that will be one thing. If it snows a
disposition to give consideration of
the fixed principles of the C. I. O.,
that will be another thing."
Mr. Lewis didn't say so explicitly,
but "another thing" will be a war
for domination of American labor.
Ship Workers' Strike
May Be Settled
""THROUGH the effort.-, of Edward
F. McGrady, assistant secretary
of labor and the department's
chief conciliator, the strike of maritime
workers that . ,
tied up a large part '
of the shipping on % '
the Pacific, Atlantic V;
and Gulf coasts may
be settled amicably.
Negotiations be- \ "~7 \
tween the shipown- jf
ers and the union j
leaders were re- // j
sumed in San Fran- j
cisco, and in Wash- k ?
i n g to n Secretary * .. "
Perkins said she E F McGr?dy
was hopeful that a jlist agreement
would be reached.
On the Pacific coast the strikers
had already consented to ease the
plight of stranded passengers and
release perishable cargoes. The joint
strike committee recommended that
their membership return strikebound
vessels to home ports. This
promised relief for 600 stranded passengers
and 900 strikers in Honolulu
as well as for hundreds of maritime
men idle in Atlantic and gulf
ports.
Rear Admiral Harry G. Hamlet
of the federal maritime commission I
had been compelled to postpone j
twice his fact finding inquiry but
finally got it started.
Wage Increases and
Dividends Declared
A,f AJOR producers of steel, led
^ by the Carnegie-Illinois Steel
corporation, largest subsidiary o f
United States Steel, and the Columbia
Steel company, west coast member
of the same group, announced
wage increases averaging 10 per
cent and in some cases running as
high as 25 per cent, which will add
about $80,000,000 a year to the in- 1
dustry's payroll. In most instances
the increases were to take effect I
November 16. According to compilations
of the American Iron and
Steel institute they will affect 526,700
employees throughout the country.
Committees acting for employees
at more than a dozen plants rejected
the offer, demanding higher pay.
Negotiations in these cases are
therefore continued.
Directors of numerous big corporations
authorized special dividends
to stockholders and wage bonuses
to workers that will release
many millons of dollars. This is
in pursuance of the policy of avoiding
so far as possible the stiff levies
imposed on undistributed profits under
the revenue act of 1936; and
also, in most cases, in recognition
of improved business.
