ESCAPESHELLING
Besieged People Tunnel Pas
sages From Cellar to
Cellar Many Asphyx
iated Americans Leave
By Jam O. Oldfleld
MADRID. Nov. 27, AP) The bo
eelged people of Madrid began tcd&y
to turn their bomb-torn city Into
a vast labyrinth of underground passages.
Seizing whatever Implements were
available, or using their bare hands,
householders began , tunneling from
cellar to cellar to provide places of
refuge In case their homes are
brought crashing down upon their
heads.
During the dovc-t'ttng shelling of
the last three weeks, hundreds of
refugees In the basements of the city
have died by asphyxiation. Against
the grim prospect of being smotaered
or crushed to death, Madrileons
sought to establish a means of escape
by the house-to-house burrowing,
Spades Lacking '
Their task was made difficult by
the fact that almost every available
spade In the city has been pressed
Into use for the building of fortlfl
cations. Meanwhile, at Valencia, 73 Ameri
cans awaited evacuation from Spain
aboard the. United States cruiser
Raleigh, following a safe but trying
trip from the closed embassy tere,
The weather in Madrid brightened
after two days of rain, but there still
were few pedestrians on the central
streets.
Scarred by shells and air bombs,
the city's most beautiful buildings,
with torn curtains flapping through
Jagged window panes, resembled the
structure of Flanders 20 years ago.
The air raids and artillery barrages
no longer were an . attraction as a
public spectacle. Madrid was sombre,
even In dress. Women fongt their
finery and went about listlessly in
kitchen attire, or even In bath robes.
On Vegetable Diet '
The defense food supply commis
sariat worked hard at transporting
supplies from eastern Spain. It vir
tually bad succeeded in placing the
whole city on a vegetarian diet, due
to the scarcity of meat. .
However, herds of sheep were graz
ing on the lawn and in the gardens
of the war ministry and some- peas
ant brought eheep, pigs and fowls
from outlying district' to live with
them- In their, new refuge in the
Salamanca district of the city.
Pigs seemed to be fairly 'plentiful,
but fish were not. Many were taken
from ornamental ponds and eaten.
Light skirmishing made ' up the
only activity on the University City
battlefront in northwestern Madrid
after a fierce, early-week battle.
Militiamen were throwing hand gre
nades at the insurgents who, before
dawn, tried their old trick of sending
two or three tanks on a rald toward
the model prison. '
t
In one of your political brain
storms a few days ago, I counted an
even doeen commas that were alto
gether wasted should not have been
used at all. Also several others tnac
were misplaced and some more that
were abused In other ways.
This mistreatment and abuse
abounds thruout your literary efforts.
Why thte harsh treatment of a sim
ple little fellow like the comma? Why
do you scatter him by the handful
promiscuously somexning
shaking salt into a schooner of beer?
I hope now that your aiionuw
has been called to it that you will
be able to mend your evil way wlt&

To the Editor:
For a good many years Z have been
a persistent reader of your editorial
vaporings political and otherwise,
and , aside from those political ,
usually find myself in accord there
with. But, as to national politics, I re
fret that you are so extremely hay
wire. It has been with great mental suf
fering that I have followed your
laudations of the New Deal, and your
lambastings of the men who, largely,
have shaped the destiny of our coun
try since the cavil war. I refer to
the Old Guard of the Republican
party. If the statements of every
politician Democrat. Republican, or
Third party can be rellfd upon. tJie
Old Guard must have performed a
pretty good lob, since all the poli
ticians loudly proclaim that the
U. B. Is the greatest, most wonderful
and best governed country on earth.
Be that as It may, there is another
. error which you dally commit that
should be corrwtd. I am speaking
now of your careless, wanton and sin'
ful mistreatment of an Inolfensive,
harmless, but very usoftil thing the
comma.
To the Editor
An rtiteria.l in the Capital Journal
-inclusions on the
maritime strike. You show the im
passe from which the public le now
mifferirur as much as the combat
ants.
Thr u . wav out. to which I
have given much thought for a long
time. It would enable both combat-,
anta aa well as the public, to galnj
their chief objectives. j
The objectives of the unions, as
I see them, are: (1) Pull recognition.!
and (3) prevention of the victimiza
tion of individual workmen by which
some employers seek to weaken the
unions, the instrument being, in the
case of the longshoremen, control of
the hiring halls.
The objectives of the employers
are: (1) The prevention of the dis
location of business by "quickie" and
other strikes and (3) the avoidance
of the general business uncertainty
that now prevails In the buying of
labor on a non -contractual basis.
My remedy Is thav the employer
should buy labor, not from individ
ual workmen, but from a co-opera
tive association of workmen, xne
employer would enter Into a detailed
written contract with the association
and would have no dealings with in
dividual members thereof. Wner an
industry, as in the present case, in
volves a number of different trades,
one association might employ them
all for example, 1 longshoremen,
stevedores, sal lore and firemen, stew
ards, masters and ma tea each trade
being represented by its own union
In- the formation of the cooperative.
In this way the whole hidustry would
move together, preventing trouble
from sectional stoppages; and Inci
dentally, it might prove to be a har
mo n to us solution of the "craft vs.
ind ustrial " quarrel in orga n lred
labor.
You will readily see that the co
operative association device , would
achieve all four of the objectives
above mentioned.
Now, how about the public inter-1
est? The objectives of the public are:
(1) Continuity of efficient service,!
and (3) fair recompense. and health-i
ful working conditions for labor. Both
these objectives could be secured by
legislative provision for:
(a) The making of new contracts
voluntarily, between the cooperative
association and' each employer, be
fore the expiration of old contracts.
with the assistance, advice and col
laboration of a permanent govern
ment commission, specially created. !
(b) Extensions of the old contract
