EIGHTY THOUSAND WORDS OF GEORGE
BERNARD SHAW FOR A
SHILLING
ROMANCE IN BOOKS
FOR THE MASS
By LIONEL HALE
IN May you will be able to buy 11,000 words of new Shaw
and 70,000 words of old Shaw for a shilling the pair. Mr. George Bernard Shaw has entirely rewritten for the "Penguin" series (6d. a volume) his "Intelligent Woman's Guide to Socialism."
Its title is now changed to "The I.W.G. to Socialism, Capital, Fascism, and Communism." Hence the extra 11,000 words.
This is only part of the expansion scheme which Mr. Allen Lano has planned for the Penguin series.

WAUKEEGAN PEACEFUL
Waukeegan, Feb. 21. Following the Fansteel Metallurg- cal Corporation officials rejection of Governor Homer's second Invitation to attend negotiations with strikers, labour chiefs here charge that the company did not want to negotiate, , but "merely wants to throw the men out of the plants and then refuse to negotiate:"

"However," labour union men add- ed, "we prefer that the plants should remain closed for a year rather than that one man should be killed at- templing to
the
sit-down strikers."
Meanwhile, the Committee of Industrial
Organisation's counsel, Jacobs, revealed the de- Mr. J. M. mahds of that organisation to-day, They are:
1. Recognition of the sole bargaining agency of the C.1.0.
2: Reinstatement of discharged employees;
3. Adjustment of wnges;

The situation in the plant is quiet, the strikers hovering over kerosene stoves, for all heat and power are off.

STARTED ON £100
Mr. Allen Lane, who founded the Penguin Company with a capital of £100 (be still owns all the shares), told me:
"I am sure that our sales will reach 10,000,000 before the end of the year.
"I got this idea on a telp round the country two years ago from the 2d. Ibrary.
"I felt sure that we could create a few book public among the lower middle classes.
"And this is borne out by the fact that the Penguin books have not at all affected the sale of the original editions.
"That public has responded, and we are now going ahead with a 'new, series, the Pelican series, of exactly the same size, shape, format price, but designed for that great mass of readers who wish to educate themselves.

"The first two volumes in this new series will be Bernard Shaw's re- written Intelligent "Woman's Guide.
"After that we have planned on claborate scries of Shakespeare's works, to be freshly edited for this series by Professor G. B. Harrison, of Cambridge.
