In Pittsburg Pa, has been formed a new
association that is attracting much atten-
ton in the world of labor 1t Is an Or
ganization whose object is to combine the
workers in the culinary trades into a fed
Grafton similar to the existing allied print
ing and building trades councils. The
movement has been launched, and 1t is the
aim of the projectors to eventually make 1T
Culinary Trades Council. Its formation
was first urged by the Brewery Workers
and Bakers unions. The idea came orig
inally from San Francisco, where a pro-
visional trades council has been in exist
ence for some time. similar organiza-
ton has just been formed in Chicago, and
its Introduction is expected to follow speed
lily in every center Of trades unionism.
Joseph Proebstle, national president Of
the United Brewery Workers, is an earn
est advocate of the new movement. In
speaking of the value of such an organ
ization, not only to the unions directly in
tereSted but to the general labor move
ment he said: 1.-THE trades unions whose
members are employed in the culinary or
provision trades. e., the manufacturing
and distribution Of food-have hitherto
stood alone. depending solely on the soli-
darity of other trades unions. A closer af-
iliation of these trades will benefit the
unions thus bound together. provisional
trades council means the same thing to
the provisions trades unions that the build
ing trades council means to the building
trades unions.

fore he left bis Russian home for
America, about twenty-five years
ago, with two sons, the first of his
family to seek these shores.
Wclnisky's business ruin in Anti.
pole began when Alexander II. was
assassinated in 1881. Alexander IT.,
who was by nature inclined to mild
measures, fell under the influence of
the leaders Of the old regime, and in
a period of repression which the ac-
tivity Of the revolutionaries seemed
to demand the Russian soldiery were
more aggressive than ever.
Cossacks broke into Wolnisky's
establishment in 1851, drank all they
could swallow, and opened every bar
rel IN his wel-flled cellar. When
they went on their way he was
ruined. He at once determined to
leave the country.
In the East Side here he was i'm
mediately recognized as person Of
extraordinary learning, and he was
elected rabbi Of the Eldridge Street
Synagogue, which place he held for
many years, retiring only two years
ago upon the death Of his second
wife.
Wolnisky's second wife was twen-
ty-two years old when, at the age
Of sixty-fve, he married her. They
had fifteen children. He has ninety
two living direct descendants, of
whom ffty-four are in this city or
state or in New Jersey. The others
are in Russia. His descendants have
been increasing at rate Of twelve
a year for two or three years. He
knows the name of every one of
them and never forgets their birth
days.
He rises every morning at 4 'clock
and has a few glasses Of tea and
pipeful Of Mohoke tobacco, import
ed from Russia, for breakfast. He
uses three pipes, one for the street,
one for the house and a third for
smoking in bed. This last has a big
bowl and long stem. the bowl rest
ing on the floor. He has never been
Ill, but eight years ago was run down
while crossing Canal street by fire

his ankle, breaking the bones, and
when it healed that leg was a triAe
shorter than the other, making it nee
essary to wear on it shoe with a

Remarkable Career of Man Who Has
Reached the Age of 1O5.

hclndIhdUlS OdTeSr VI MAN VINO has
Reached the Age of 105.
One hundred and FIVE years old,
Rabbi Barnett Wolnisky, on Sun
day night at his gread-grand-
daughters marriage danced the wild
steps of two Russian dances, perform
ing this feat despite lameness which
compels him to wear one shoe with
a sole an inch thicker than that of
the other.
His eyes, that watched Napoleon q
broken legions straggle westward
again in the Russian SHOWS ninety
five years ago, shone as brightly on
ifty-four of Rabbi Wolnisky's de-
scendants on Sunday night. His legs
which carried him briskly in boyish
panic from the French soldiers in
1912, twinkled almost as merrily in
Forsyth street in 1907, as he pranced
with his great-great-grandchildren in
the Zeide nit die Einiklach and later
broke into the wild rhythm Of the
komarishki.
The only thing that tired Rabbi
Wolnisky on Sunday night was the
length of time he had to go without
his pipe. He smokes before he gets
up, he smokes all day and he smokes
after he goes to bed. He had plenty
of tea at the wedding, where he per-
formed his remarkable terpsichorean
feats, however, and he needed it, for
his daily quota is about forty big
glasses, brewed strong, and taken
without milk. He drinks no water
and no liquor as a rule, though he
takes both in times of emergency.
One meal daily, consisting Of soup,
bread, and p little meat, is his only
food, and is set for him at noon.
Born in Bobrine, in the state of
Grodno, Russian Poland, he moved
about with his parents in his early
youth, and so came to see the ice
beaten regiments Of the Little Cor
poral falling back from Moscow.
Marrying early, he settled in Anti
pole and traded in liquors, most Of
his life in Russia being spent in the

Our forefathers Ito tell the plain
and simple TRUTH had no objection
TO a dram. We have been slightly
scandalized at seeing the frequency
with which these venerable ances-
tors Of ours bought every sort of
liquor, from cider to brandy. Never
did they buy much at a time-not
enough to hurt them we are quite
assured-but apparently they never
left the store of Thos. H. White &
Co. without dampening their whis-
ties with some kind Of exhilarating
tipple.
Those were days when every man
could make his own iquor:-no In
ternal Revenue Taxes, no Deputy
Marshals to intrude, Consequently
whiskies were plentiful, pure and
cheap. 4

Dead these many years, are the

Dead are the customers who

Dead is the town of Wrightsboro
Ia decaying monument of by-gone

From page to page in the Book OF
Accounts of this long-forgotten firm
is written an undeniahle record of
the life and times of the people Of
Georgia in 1923.
Beyond all power of contradiction
we can gather the facts which illus
trate the home life Of the folks Of
that remote period. We can take
this old hook and follow the farmers
to the village store and see what
they bought, and what they paid
for it.
We can form pretty clear idea Of
how the Doziers, Reeses, SCOTS, Pet
its, Parhams, Harrisons and Win
freys lived and managed III these
primitive days.
The first thing which impresses us
with these customers OF the store IS
that all the accounts are marked set
tied in full at the end of the year.
In nearly every instance the set
tlement is by cash. In verv few
eases, the settlement is i'y note.
It has been our luck during the
Last fifteen years to examine dozens
Of account-b0oks of ON merchant
clients, and the difference in this re-
spect between the record of 1929
and that of recent years is amazing.
SO far as regards the showing Of
accounts paid off at the end of the
year, we venture to say that there is
not a merchant in Georgia Today
whose books will beac compal ison
with these.
The people paid because they were
able to pay. In ninety-nine cases out
Of a hundred when a man is able
TO pay his debts he pays them.
Another thing that impresses us
with these accounts is that they are
small: people lived at home and
boarded at the same place.
Ii there is any corn, meat or meal
charged up on the 800 and odd pages
Of this book we~have not been able
to find it,
This is an eloquent fact.

game on us 3 to /. N. Fleming, loca
twirifst, who is even smaller thar
Rhode Island, dispensed slants for oul
demons and allowed the unlaundereC
heroes of Kokomo just four pop hits
Three OF these were punched in the
seventh and, combined with an error
by Fleming, netted two runs and the
game. Three errors were made by the
locals and two of them were costly
One of them resulted in Kokomo run
in the second This is the obituary
of the game in brief.
Dumb base running and inability to
bunch hits cost the game. In the fourth
three Richmond hits Melted only one
run, Minzler being moved down at the
plate by poor base work In the
eighth with Ritter and Cameron on the
bags, the Rabbit allowed himself to be
caught trying to pilfer third. A min
ute later Jim was cut down trying to
reach second.
. Notwithstanding the poor base run

Especially in the ninth was there great
excitement Richmond made desper-

the Kokomo talons but failed, dying

crowd to it's feet and the view from
