both the workers and the companies are vir-
tually honor-bound, not only to make use of the
established facilities but to abide by the results.
In this last dispute the roads refused at first
to countenance any negotiations, claiming that
bankruptcy would be an inevitable and imme-
diate result of a rise in the operating costs. The
initial proposals by Dr. William Leiserson, mem-
ber of the mediation board, were flatly rejected
and a deadlock appeared unavoidable. With the
cooperation, however, of the railroad workers,
who had implicit faith in the open-mindedness
of their employers, renewed attempts at con-
ciliation were made and a happy result finally
accomplished.
The agreement, effecting conductors, engi-
neers, firemen, trainmen and switchmen, calls for
a wage boost of 44 cents a day-an even break
for trainmen, firemen and switchmen, who with
pay averages of $4.40 a day, were holding out for
a 20 per cent increase. Conductors and engi-
neers, whose pay ranges up to $10 a day, re-
ceived only a five per cent advance.
The victory, then, it is well to remember, was
one of voluntary conciliation under nofmal op-
erations rather than under the abnormal strain
of a shutdown. Plaudits for such a precedent.

Another War
Of Seven Years?# .

RESS REPORTS relayed from
London during the last fortnight
indicate that the Ethiopian war, the end of which
Mussolini proclaimed when Addis Ababa fell, ac-
tually only has undergone a more or less super-
ficial transition from what might be termed the
active to the passive but no less deadly stage.
This change in the character of the war, or
more accurately in the tactics of the Ethiopians,
was the natural result of the loss of their capital,
the defense of which was the purpose of their
strategy during the earlier period of conflict.
Since its fall a year ago they have abandoned
their futile and sanguinary mass attacks in favor
of a guerilla campaign, the historic resort of a
weak and peaceful people against a powerful
aggressor.,
A massacre of the entire garrison and Italian
civil population of Makale, one of the largest
and most important cities of the occupied coun-
try is reliably reported to have taken place. Al-
though the almost airtight censorship of Italian
military authorities helps breed lurid and imag-
inative journalism, it is impossible to entirely
discredit the repeated assertions of correspon-
dents that Italians in Ethiopia do not dare ven-
ture out of range of protecting soldiers and forts,
that even the newly constructed European roads
are not safe, and that more Italians have been
killed since the campaign "ended" than during
its progress.
It is an established fact that huge numbers of
"workmen" have been shipped to Africa in the
last year, for the avowed purpose of aiding in
the rebuilding and civilizing of the new Roman
Province. French and English news sources,
however, state that these laborers are actually
soldiers in 'disguise, and that upon arrival in
Ethiopia they are immediately given uniforms
and rifles in place of the dissembling shovels
and workman's blouses. Simultaneously they
are given the choice of shooting or being shot.
The efficient terrorization carried out by
Marshal Graziani, traditional method of con-
querors in occupation, can hardly succeed better
than the same weapon in the hands of past
tyrants, in spite of bombing planes, poison gas,
flame-throwers and other twentieth-century ter-
ror techniques. Given an "easy" conquest like
that of Ethiopia may prove too expensive for the
conqueror when all the costs are counted.
A Better-
Methd..
W ITH A HERITAGE of intelligent
leadership, organization and will-
ingness to compromise the 250,000 members of
the operating railroad union-oldest in the coun-
try-again demonstrated commendable dispatch
in coming to an agreement with the 86 railroads
with which they were at issue.
The agreement was a notable victory for con-
ciliation and a splendid example from which
capital and labor might well take a few pointers

The Other Side Again
To the Editor:
Mr. J. Gibb, do I understand from your letter
to the editor that you do not want us students
(shall I write the word in quotes or will you
grant the point?) to take the town home with
us?
Working on the premise that we are most will-
ing to leave what there is of it here and merely
take our "self-centered, overbearing, radical"
selves home, just how long do you think the
words "Ann Arbor" would remain on the map
of the United States? Or do you concede be-
fore I go any further that it wouldn't remain
on the map?
I wonder if you are aware of the percentage
of letters containing checks and money orders
that pour into this town in each and every mail
from every part of the United States and other
continents, as well. The flood of currency con-
stantly, unceasingly streaming into this precious
burg of yours is of unbelievable magnitude, com-
ing from poor and wealthy parents in village,
hamlet and metropolis, alike.
And are you aware that some several thou-
sand Ann Arbor "good citizens" lay awake nights
devising ways and means of parting the student
with his money faster than he is naturally in-
clined?
I can just picture Main Street should some
ten thousand students realize that they have
been "taken in" for all they ought to care for,
and decide to take the next train home, leaving
the town in situ, cockeyed streets and all.
I can picture the thriving business your cloth-
ing, drug, and food stores, busses, taxis, news-
stands, soda fountains, etc., ad infinitum, will
carry on should we desert this place.
But perhaps the natives of Ann Arbor would
really like us to leave. There wouldn't be any
crowds in the stores and streets to get in their
way. The theatres would be quiet and there
would be plenty of seats for all. The hundreds
of home-owners who had to crowd "wise-crack-
ing, rattlebrain, drinking" students into their
homes would once again have the use of their
rooms, with the walls built too close together
and a hole in the hallway for a closet, that they
were so adverse to renting out.
Yes, this town would just bloom, a second
New York, if we "spoiled brats" left and let
you build it up the way it should be done.
I can visualize the hordes of tourists, spending
yet more money, pouring into Ann Arbor, sum-
mer and winter, if the University and its stu-
dents were gone.
Just what do you think, Mr. J. Gibb, would
bring them-or anyone within a hundred miles
of here. The drinking water, perhaps?
-Morton Jampel, '41.
She Agrees
To the Editor:
As a reader of the Michigan Daily, I am keenly
interested in the campaign which is being carried
on to clean up Ann Arbor restaurants. Unfor-
tunately, you do not go far enough in the pub-
licity which you are giving to this. A vague
statement that one-fifth of the places under ob-
servation has violated the simplest rules of clean-
liness makes suspect the entire hundred. I have
seen sandwich boys lick their fingers clean of
some morsel and go on to 'the next order, with-
out being conscious of offending the customer.
But until your account in the Daily was published
I must confess I have always hoped that my
sandwich escaped the blighting touch!
Your statement, however that twenty per cent
of the restaurants tested indicated that waiters
and kitchen help do not observe "even elemen-
tary personal sanitation,"-a statement which
is borne out by the fact that a type of organism
ordinarily found only in the human intestinal
tract was found in this group-impels me to ask
you to give your readers the names of at least
these flagrantly offending places. As I have
said, all places are under suspicion until you
eliminate those establishments which make an
effort to be careful.

In spite of your campaign there is still further
need to expose laxness in sanitary regulations.

TO ME
By Heywood Broun
The world is our house and it must be put in
order. Nor can there be any great delay, because
an age of renovation is upon us. I have been
reading the page proofs of a book about electrons.
The author, Raymond F. Yates, argues with a
high degree of conviction that the real revolu-
tionaries of our day are the research men in the
physical and chemical laboratories.
It is the electron which will make all of us
or most of us slaves. Apparently the electronic
experimenters are on the very threshold of dis-
coveries which will loose energies in quantities
hereto 'undreamed of save in some wellsian
vision of the new world. Norris and the other
great dams would be dwarfed, for I read, "the
atomic energy available in a single glass of
water would be sufficient to supply the needs of
a community of 25,000 for a whole year'."
Death Ray Becomes Reality
It may be argued that this still needs quite a
bit of doing, but the pace of discovery among
the physicists grows faster. Theories may be-
come accomplished facts almost overnight, and,
indeed, already many practical applications of
electronic control are being employed by indus-
try. And the Death Ray, which was once little
more than a good story for a Sunday magazine,
now exists in a miniature. The seal upon the
bottle where the genie dwells has already been
cracked. And once he has been released there
will be no putting him back again into captivity.
But if tonight some scientist finds the answer to
the practcal problems lying between fact and
theory he will do well to keep the secret.
Indeed, if he has a strong social conscience he
may be moved to shoot himself and let the dis-
covery also die. There is knowledge too heady
and far-reaching for the world to handle. The
social and political estate of the world is such
that truth would be corrupted into damnation
for the many and salvation for the few. Surely
it would not be a present boon if means were
found whereby a robot could do the work of ten
thousand men in industry and agriculture. And
such possibilities are no longer fantastic.
S** * *
Natural Forces Belong To All
As Mr. Yates points out, there is no longer any
cogency in the old argument that nen who are
replaced by the machine find 're-employment in
the making of the machine itself. In the new
day it will be a machine which makes the ma-
chine. There are robots to the right of us and
robots to the left of us. The forces of life
can just as easily become the forces of death.
Surely it would be the final tragedy if anybody
put into the hands of Hitler or any of his kind
that knowledge which would make him the mas-
ter of the world. Indeed, the power would be
too great to belong to any individual or private
corporation. Even if the ultimate potentialities
of electronic control are a long way off, it is a
good bet that the industrial aspect of the world
will change more radically in the next twenty-
five years than it has in the last two hundred.
Soon we will talk of the age of the locomotive
as we now talk of the horse and buggy. Natural
forces belong to all mankind. Before the latent
power of the world is loosed we must ourselves
be free.

with only shoes and underwear, and who looks
around for someone else to pay half his room
rent and lend him enough other clothes to round
out an outfit.

THEATRE
By JAMES DOLL
Gilbert Miller presents TOvARICH
by Jacques DeHal, English text by Ro-
bert E. Sherwood, with Marta Abba
and Rudolph Forster. Staged by Mr.
Miller. Production designed by Ray-
mond Sovey. At the Cass Theatre this
week, matinees today and Saturday.
'Tovarich' Reviewed
COMEDIES that can bear re-seeing
are rare. The reason that To-
tarich stands up so well the third time
through is that it's comedy comes
from its essential situations and
characterizations rather than from
gag lines. Plays like You Can't Take
It With You the second time are like
repeating an old joke. Even if you've
been told the lines or read them in a
review it detracts. But after seeing
this play well done in New York-
let's forget about last spring-and
now on its road tour, one realizes
again how grand it is.l
Everyone that would be at all like-1
ly to be interested must know by
now that the Deval-Sherwood play
is pronounced To-VAR-ich, that that
word means Comrade, that its plot is
Stars In Play

MARTA ABBA
the one about the Russian Prince
and Grand Duchess who become ser-
vants in a French household.
But the plot isn't important. It's
that the treatment is intelligent and
civilized. With Miss Abba blending
so well its high comedy, sentiment,
and drama, and with the generally
excellent Gilbert Miller production,
it is surely one of the vei'y best come-
dies of the last few seasons.
The only change of cast for -the
road is Rudolph Forster for John
Halliday in the part of the Prince-
played here by Charles Romano and
Maury Tuckerman. Mr. Forster is
a bit stolid in the light scenes in the
first act but makes up for it by great-
ly strengthening the serious part of
the last act.
One performance in the production
here last spring was superior Evelyn
Varden's Mme. Dupont, you will re-
member, had graciousness, distinc-
tion, as well as reality. Margaret'
Dale exaggerates her comedy lines
and business in a way to remind us:
of the declining days of the Mid-wes-
tern stock companies of the '20's. And
she offends in this way more than;
she did in New York.
But not much can be said of the
faults of long runs that Shaw did
not say in his article Hamlet Revisit-
ed, reprinted in the Dramatic Opin-
ions and Essays. Everything is a bitt
more pat than it was, there is less!
thought back of the lines. That is,
with everyone except Miss Abba,E
whose performance seems as spon-
taneous as ever. She is a real de-
light and we hope Fascist Italy can I
spare her for a while longer.

And if your roomie is a little larger than you,
he can always hold his stomach in while he skins

After you've roomed with the same fellow
for a year you can begin to see what colors he
doesn't like to wear, and get more clothes in
that color.
