5000 MEN STRIKE IN
SLAUGHTER HOUSES

PARIS, Feb. 25.-Three thousand
employees Of Paris slaughter houses
have struck. their demands being, first,
the abolition of the tax on meat, and,
second, the prohibition of clandestine
markets by the insistence OF a direct
transfer of meat from slaughter houses
to retailers.
The workmen declare the tax has
caused ~uneasiness in the trade and that
clandestine markets are allowed to vio-
late the regulations as to the sale of
meat. NJ. Vilgrain, under-secretary ~
the ministry Of provisions, has prom
ised the men that the tax would be
abolished. Should the strike continue,
Paris will be without peat in a few
days.

Clear his conscience-clear a bell
And this is the story Of how he fell.
One morning as on his perch he sat
He watched pifering criminal cat
Climbing a tree to a robins nest,
And-~ell, it's better to guess the rest
And the Owl he said to himself, said he
