GREEN IS REDS IN SPEECH BEFORE MINERWING Announces Fight to Drive Out Communists —For Five-Day Week. William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, in his address to the United Mine Workers in Tomlinson Hall Friday afternoon, launched an attack upon communism, which, he declared, “is boring its way into the heart of organized labor." Green also favored shorter working hours and declared for a five-day week in industry. Declaring that he intends to make the fight against communism a major issue of his administration he stated, “I intend to carry the battle to communism until it is driven out of organization." "Should be Expelled” “In our war against the communists,” Green declared, “we are fighting foes that were tolerated when they should have been expelled. But they are deceptive, they are wolves in sheep's clothing. We are just now beginning to realize how opposed to our American principles they are. If they had appeared in their true colors they would not be tolerated within the American trade union movement.” Green upheld the tenets of the Jacksonville (Fla.l agreement under which present mine wage rates are fixed, and scored operators who have abrogated this agreement. “A contract between employer and employe,” he declared, “involves a solemn obligation and can not be violated by either side.” More Wages and Efficiency Declaring that “men's wages must be regulated upon the productivity and efficiency of the worker,” Green sttaed that wages will constantly rise. “You cannot have prosperity and low wages at the same time,” declared Green. “Show me the size of a community’s pay roll,” he said, “and I will measure its prosperity. We are entitled to have money to buy back those things we have produced.” Reaching the question of hours of labor, Green came out flatly for a shorter working day and a five-day week. Favors Five-Day Week “We believe,” he said, “that the working men have reached a point where further reductions in working hours ean take place. Productivity has increased so that the world’s work can be done in less time. I favor a five-day working week which is now in operation in many industries. That ft will become general is entirely within the range of possibility and the theory behind it is economically sound.” Green eulogized the officers of the United Mine Workers and advised a strict adherence 1/) the policies they desire to put into effect.

MR. FIXIT Alleys and Poor Drainage Cause Complaints,

Write Mr. Fixit in care ol The Time* and tell him .vour troubles. He is The Times’ representative at the city hsll and present your case to the proper city officials. Mr. Fixit wishes to impress upon the minds of the persons who write to him to sign their full name and address. The name and address will not be published. Tills, in many cases, helps Mr. Fixit to locate the trouble. One person wrote Mr. Fixit today asking for new street lights in the neighborhood in which he lives. This matter was presented to the board of works. The letter is: Dear Mr. Fixit: Asa property owner in the 5800 block on Broadway, I should like to know why we can’t have sufficient street lights to enable one to venture out after night? There is a single bulb light at each end of the block which is not much better than a candle. I feel that our taxes are high enough to warrant us a little illumination in this vicinity. I solicit your help in this respect. A CONSTANT READER. Roy C. Shaneberger, president of the board of works, told Mr. Fixit it is necessary a petition be presented to the board. If this is done the territory will be viewed by the board and extra lights allowed if necessary. DEAR MR. FIXIT: -Neighbors in this vicinity, last half of the 500 block between Harris St. and Warman Ave., must think the alley is a place for dumping ashes. Please see to this matter at once as some of us have to use this ash dump to get to our garages. YOUR FRIEND AND A READER OF THE TIMES. Mr. Fixit suggests that the person write him again and give the exact location of the 500 block. He will be very glad to do all that he can to help the writer. DEAR SIR: E. St. Clair St„ between Fulton St. and Davidson St., is covered with water. The gutters are full of ice and snow even with the curbs. The water cannot run to the sewers because of it. There is also a terrible hole on Massachusetts Ave. in front of Sablosky’s store. You must either hit this hole or go into the safety zone. Your help in these matters will be greatly appreciated. C. C. E. Mr. Fixit turned these matters over to George Woodward, street commissioner, who said that he would see that they are attended to at once. Woodward said that he had a full force of men at work today cleaning the ice out of gutters so the water could get to the sewers. Moving pictures were first presented at Koster & Blai’s music hall in New York City, when Edison’s vitascope was used to throw pictures on a screen.

THE SEQUEL TO SOMA

BEGIN HERE TODAY SONIA, the young wife of Dr Don Stillwater, became jealous of her husband when she inadvertently learns that he formerly was engaged to— ELAINE WALLACE, stylish wife of Stillwater's partner. DR. ROBERT WALLACE. Through ESTHER LANE, stenographer in the office. Sonia also learns that Dr. Wallace is somewhat ol a flirt, and attracts many of his women patients. DR. STILLWATER takes Sonia to ft Chinese restaurant in San Francisco for dinner. Later she soliloquizes on the fact he was engaged to another before their marriage. SONIA fears the Wallaces may have heard about her affair with FRANKLIN CRANE, before she was married. Sonia thinks Don is ill. because he is not looking well, and calls on Dr. Wallace for advice. She receives no satisfaction from Wallace, who tries to flirt with her. She runs across Stillwater and Elaine Wallace in a restaurant later and is Ailed with conflicting emotions. On the night of their wedding anniversary. Elaine phones, calling Don away as they are about to go out and celebrate. He returns with a gift picked out bv Elaine. Later at the Wallaces’ Elaine accuses Sonia of calling her husband by phone and then denying it. Sonia receives a letter from Franklin Crane, saying he is coming to San Francisco. _ . Sonia fears Don’s love for her is waning and decides to leave home to live with Jinny of Jed Thomas' office. Sonia refuses any financial assistance from Don. Jinny tel In her she is in love with a married man who proves to be Dr. Wallace. A young salesman. Steohen Sessenger. in the office of Jed Thomas, is interested in Sonia. Franklin Crane finds Sonia back at work. He waits for her at noon, and reminds her of the past. Sonia meets Don while out walking with Stephen. The prined look about his eyes was too much for her and caused her to swoon. Don calls on her and insists on her taking a rest. He refers to her chat with Elaine. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XXIV How could she explain tc him? And of what value an explanation? His wife’3 engagements were nothing to Dr. Don Stillwater. At least so his tone had implied. He cpntinued, briskly, “Go to bed early tonight and see what a good sleep will do for you. Best medicine in the world.” “I haven’t been sleeping very well. He looked at her, keenly. Her voice was so forlorn. 1 “What a child you are,” he said, gently. “Try a cup of hot milk, honey.” Abruptly lie opened the door and was gone, leaving Sonia r fifing. There had been an unmistakable flicker of tenderness in his eyes. Her knees were so weak she had to sit down to tnink about It. “Try a cup of hot milk, honey.” Commonplace words! Advice he might have given to any patient! Even the little term of affection was not necessarily an indication of any personal feeling. Don was affectionate to any one who depended on him. But the look in his eyes. . A . She sighed “Oh, he didn’t mean anything.” She had given him every opportunity. Her defenses were all down. And she was so weary of this battle which seemed to Accomplish nothing. What was her object anyway? She supposed, eventually, one of them would get a divorce, but it had never been mentioned. She didn’t want to apply for one, and she doubted if he ever would. Although, if he wished to remarry. . . . The idea was so revolting that she pushed, if from her. She was not brave enough to contemplate giving him to any other woman yet. Perhaps, sometime! Utterly unstrung by the events of the past week, she took his advice and went to bed. She was awakened by Jinny sobbing. Sonia lay still for a moment undecided what course to pursue. But the other girl was crying so miserably, she could not remain silent.' So she said, quietly, "What’s the matter, old thing?” “Oh,” gasped Jinny, “I didn’t mean to waken you. “That’s all right. I’ve been asleep for hours. What is it? Anything in particular?” / “Yes. I’m such a—fool.” Sonia tried to laugh. “No use worrying about that.” “I suppose not. No help for it, either.” Jinny sat up in bed, an indistinct blur in the darkness. “Sonia, I can’t go on." “My dear, there are hundreds of other girls thinking the same thing. But they will —we will —all of us.” “It’s different with you,” wailed Jinny. "My affair is so hopeless.” “Hopeless”—Sßnia shuit her eyes, wohdering what possible hope the future could hold for her. “You see,” continued Jinny, "it isn’t as if Bob weren’t married. Sonia, I wonder if he really loves his

wife. What do you think? You’ve seen them together.” Sonia took & deep breath, determined to be truthful with the same clean-cut ruthlessness Don wo ;ld use In an operation. “Yes, I do think Bob loves Elaine.” Nothing but silence from the figure beside Tier, so she went on. “As I told you before, he is an incurable flirt. Don’t kid yourself that you are the only other woman on Bob’s list. He sees ’em from morning to night, young, bored, restless, beautiful. ... It would take a man with iron will-power not to play up to some of them.” She stopped, thinking, that her husband was one who wouldn’t. , . . “Then you think,” Jinny asked in a small, crushed voice, “that he is just trifling with me?” "I do,” repeated Sonia, gently. “Not because I doubt your attractiveness or your ability to hold a man under other conditions. But no woman living could win the entire heart of Robert Wallace. He has chopped it into pieces too many times. A little here and a little there! But the woman who has the largest share and will continue,” she added, firmly, “to have It, is the one he cared for enough to make his wife.” She heard Jinny give a little cry and slide down beneath the covers. Sonia's heart ached for her. “You hate me for saying that, don’t you?” “I would,” came the muffled answer, “if I didn’t know it is all true.” Sonia was surprised and absurdly grateful for so much perspicacity. It was more than she had expected. “You know I like you better than I do Elaine," she said, warmly. "I think, even without her gorgeous clothes you are more attractive." “Thanks, darling! I understand what you mean. If only I could stay away from him. It’s seeing him that gets me.” “I know.” “To be perfectly honest,” admitted Jinny dolefully, “I feel sometimes that he’s bored. If I drop in unexpectedly it seems to me he's rather anxious to get rid of me. Not that ’he isn't always sweet, you understand.” ”1 understand exactly. That's why if I were you I’d beat him to it.” She was a little disgusted at her own capacity for giving advice. But Jinny gulped, "Yes, I suppose that’s what I should do.” Presently she asked, “Have you a hankie?” Sonia fished under her pillow. "Thanks. Mine's all wet.” She added, naively, “I certainly have cried, haven't I?” Long after she was asleep, Sonia lay staring Into the dark. . . . The next day Stephen Sessenger came to her desk. Deliberately, with no pretense whatever. “Feeling better today?” “Much better, thank you." “You look It,” he said. She flushed under the intensity of his gaze. “Yes? Well, you see it’s such a wonderful morning. ...” Words! She needed lots of them. To fill up the chasm which yawned the moment they attempted conversation. Eventually, he managed to state his purpose, “Would it be possible for us to finish our interrupted evening tonight?” It simply wouldn’t be fair to disappoint the expectation in his eyes. Particularly since he had been so nice about her fainting. So she replied that if he were sure he wanted to she thought it would be all right with Jinny.

He surprised her, then, by saying, "I’d rather you would have dinner down town with me. Some place where we can dance.” “But I thought you wanted to get acquainted with Jinny?” He said. Innocently, “I think we know each other well enough, now. Do you accept my invitation?” She accepted, dubiously. For two reasons! Since her conversation with Don, she really had no desire to do any “steppin.” And besides, Stephen was a little too youthful in his ideas. Sonia was accustomed to men of mature judgment. His lack of sophistication irritated her a little, although she told herself she “ought to be ashamed.” To atone for this lack of interest, she was especially sweet to him. They dined at the Golden Pheasant and she was delighted to discover that he danced exceptionally well. In spite of her first reluctance, the music melted her a little. Suddenly her "woman of thirty” complex dropped like the ohrysalis of a butterfly, and the 6ld Sonia fluttered her wings.
