STARTED FOR HOME.
Assyrian Party Left
Worcester for Bey.
root Yesterday.
ALL WELL SUPPLIED WITH COIN.
Will Buy Farms and Live
in Luxury for
Life.

Karam Abbib, his mother and sister,
Kabel Letifis and Eiira Matri, his wife
and child left Worcester yesterday
morning on the 1929 train for New
York, where they will leave today for
Beyroot, Assyria.
In addition to their belongings, the
seven members of the party took $4,000
in American gold with them, and are
satisfied they can live a happy life in
their home country and never again
want for anything.
All day Tuesday the members Of the
Assyrian colony, which numbers about
$40, called at the homes Of their fellow
country people on Oak hill, and gave
messages of all kinds for their relatives
and friends in far off Assyria.
Abbib, his wife and mother have been
in America about three years, all of
which time they have passed in Wor-
cester. When they left their home
country money enough to pay their
passage had been got together by years
of hard toll, and as soon as the last
dollar was collected which made up the
amount needed to procure the neces-
barked from sBeyroot for New York. AS
soon as he reached Worcester he start
ed in peddling, and by hard work
managed to get together almost $4,000,
which is more tEan fortune in his own
country. He told Officer Henry Lavio-
lette, who looked after the party yester-
day morning, that he could buy 10
acre farm in his own country for $500,
and it would be we'll stocked with farm
IN iY11rl or rr1ic 10 ica 10
quantities Of grapes and wheat, and in
a few years is certain that he can
double his wealth. He likes America,
but thinks he has made money enough
III this country 70 insure him, his
mother and his sister a good living for
the remainder of his life. All have
longed to get back to their native home,
and last night tl.ey were accompanied
to the train by the majority of their
fellow-countrymen ir this city.
Letifis had a cool thousand slowed
away in his clothes, and he will also
engage in the farming business. Matri
has not been in this country as long as
the others, but has managed to save
up $1,000, and he will take his wife and
child back ID Assyria and buy a farm.
AS the train which would take the
seven members of the colony away on
their journey rolled into the station,
scenes were enacted by some of the wo-
men that were pathetic in the extreme.
They had thoughts or that far off coun-
try. which they left but short time
ago, and the majority of them were in
tears when the train left.
One girl, about IS years old, who had
been in America but few weeks, gave
Mrs. Matri $40 to bring back to her
aged mother, who lives in Beyroot, and
had to be carried away when the party

THEIR TROUBLES INCREASE.
Ashley s tiOran and Drs. Kelley and DeIehanty
Are Marked by Labor Men.

The flag Of truce was hauled in last
night by the Journeyman Plumbers
union, and Drs. Kelley and Delehantv
are placed under the ban of labor or
ganizations again. A meeting of tha
committee and the physicians was held
yesterday morning in Lawyer John 5.
Ratigan's office. The question Of the
employment of union helpers was again
the stumbling block in peace negotia-
ton. Ashley & Horan agreed to abide
by the union regulations on the hos
pital job and on another contract in
volving day labor. The firm claimed
that it would be impossible to conform
to union restrictions without mourning
a great loss on contracts now being
filled.
In the afternoon, the committee met
in Webster Thayer's law office, and 1t
was pointed out that the contract be-
tween Ashley & Koran and the doctors
had been broken, Secretary and Treas
urer William ]. Spencer of Chicago ar
gued for the Journeyman Plumbers
union. He exhibited a statement signed
by Ashley & Koran in which the firm
acknowledged that strictly union men
had not been employed on the build
ing.
The Bricklayers' and Plasterer0f
union met last evening. 1t was an
nounced that no action had been taken.
The union constitution makes II necen-
sary that q committee should wait upon
Drs. Kelley and Delehanty before q
strike can be ordeFtd. II Is probable
that the masons at work on the build
ing will leave. This win cause delay
Of several days in the progress Of build
ing. The Building Trades council met
last night and Endorsed the action OF
the plumbers and trades unions in
volyed in the trouble, and voted to con-
duct system Of vigorous opposition to
the methods Of the owners Of the build
ing.
Secretary and Treasurer william J.
Spencer Of the United Association Of
Journeymen Plumbers, Gas and steam

on the case.

presidents cup and a gold medal year
ago and again led in the field of six play
ers in the opening round yesterday, was

Monks at ST. BaarIam Are ESQ Feet Above

The monks Of the monastery of St.

most remarkable workers in mid-air in
the world. The monastery is perched
on precipitous rock, rising $50 feet in

sheer down to the ground, and their
only communication with mother earth
is by rope sling, which is hauled up

few years ago a tight rope walker
slipped while crossing a rope fixed in
