LOUIS, June 17—The Lind- bergh celebration here fell rather flat. Only about 6,000 people were out to greet the flier on his loudly heralded return to the city that sent him to France, The leaders of the pre-arranged celebration blame the poor turnout on the rain, there having been slight showers during the day, but even the Chamber of Commerce backers of Lindbergh have, some of them, ex- pressed considerable pique over the way in which St. Louis adventure into high class advertising was taken advantage of by the army and navy, various statesmen and politicians, and everybody but the business men of St. Louis. Lindbergh's recent definite switch to the side of “preparedness” and his advocacy of a big war fleet for the air has given a color of justice to the army’s claim that he is their Joint Defense and Relief Committee. | ° * . $56 From Philadelphia A picnic of the Needle Trades Workers was held last Sunday in Toiladeiphia, Sam Lipsin who was preset made an appeal for the strik- ing furriers. $56.60 was collected. r BUY THE DAILY WORKER AT THE NEWSSTANDS | man, and has further buried the aspiring hopes of St. Louis that some increased commerce and more set- tlers will come its way.
