80 Per Cent Distribution

Not many manufacturers can get
every dealer or nearly every dealer to
handle their brands. Many dealers will
only handle articles that are called for
and demanded by the public. The fact
that French Market Coffee is so uni
versally sold shows the universal de-
mand for it.
On the other hand, we are proud Of
the cooperation given us by the hun
dreds of grocery stores in the city of
New Orleans. They have been friendly
to us, and have helped us to place
French Market Coffee before their GUS

CONTRACTORS BROWN
 ON WAGE INCREASES
Decline to Pay Carpenters SS And MasOns S9 Per
 Day, As Demanded.

The Master Builders association held a meeting last evening attended by about D builders and contractors and after thoroughly considering the demands for increased wages sought by the maSonS and carpenters voted not to grant the increases asked for. The carpenters want S1 per hour, or $S per working day, effective April 1. and the masons want $9 per working day. effective the first of February. A committee was appointed to advise the unions that these figures are COIL sidered unfair and out of proportion.
 It also was decided to institute what might be termed a labor clear ing house for contractors and their employes The idea of such a clear ing house is explained by the con- mittee as a move to see that employ CTS and employees cooperate for mutual benefit, but to insist that the employe does not take unfair advan- tage or make unreasonable demands for wages, while, at the same time, it will serve as a check for the con- tractors in treating with their labor.

HUNGARY IS DOOMED IF
 TREATY IS UNCHANGED
So Says Count Apponyi in Plea For Modification
 Of Pact.

Vienna, Jan. 21, (By The Associated Press) .-Acceptance of the treaty as drawn would mean cultural down fall for Hungary Count Albert Alp ponyi, former Hungarian premier and head of the<Hunga rian peace del- eSatiOn who is returning to Budapest from Paris with the allied peace terms. declared today. The counts S assertion followed the expression of his belief that such a peace as wae proposed for his nation could not last.
 "Concerning internal physical con- ditions of Hungary" said Count Ap- ponyi. i've have been pillaged of everything. In the first place, we had the hardships of war; secondly. we had two communist administra- tionS when all of our money was spent abroad for propaganda; and thirdly the Rumanians robbed us of manufacturing machinery, even printing plants and railroad equip ment. so that we now have but 27 locomotives.
 Our agricultural interests which the central European powers ruined by taking away our livestock, is in a condition of general devastation beyond the river Theiss.
 1T tried to make Premier Lloyd (reOESo ana others see that IL IS III the general interest of humanity to assist us and that cutting us up is an economic crime. As proposed in the treaty we should have no wood, lum Der, coal. salt. iron or oil. It is mockery to ask us to live after these are taken away.
 At Fridays sitting it was declared officially that the treaty as proposed would find no signers in Hungary. Such terms mean permanent unrest among us and also in Europe. Owing to our position on the line between eastern and western Europe ii We are unstable so will be the Balkans.
 The nationality principle is con- structed in defiance of geography and economies and also destroys the tra- ditions of the people whom it cuts off from home. Generation to gener- ation. there will be revolts. It l7 a transfer of national leadership to races inferior in culture. It is the destruction of our schools and uni versities, leading people back to ig- norance. It is cultural downfall that mankind cannot witness without abhorrcnce.
