ideal pasture for their herds of cattle,
and it was rented for that purpose.
When the fence was completed the ad-

the cattle owners turned loose upon the
lands surrounding them. The Herd

held posts In the cabinets Of Dupuy,
Ribot, Waldeck Rousseau and Sarrien.
He Is lawyer by profession and a
writer Of considerable prominence on

have been with the group of the Repub-
licans of the Left. He will be sixty
two years Of age in November.
The new premier is very rich. The
bulk Of his wealth came to him from
that extraordinary old multi millionaire
Chauchard, the eccentric owner of the
Grand Magasin de Louvre in Paris.
Chauchard was so grateful at receiving
the Grand Cross Of the Legion OF
Honor, in recognition OF his numerous
gifts to the nation. notably to the
Musee du Louvre and to the Luxem-
bourg, and OF his many charitable
foundations, that he left legacy of

explained that the shortage of cars held
back the contractors in getting their

sity. II numbers many thousand en-

The manufacturers Of these garments
entered last June into an agreement
with the unions which are strongly
represented among the employees, the
agreement to last three years. The
manufacturers now in a public state
ment assert that although the con-
,:ract is but six months old. the union
las disregarded this agreement and de-
nands a further increase OF wages
equivalent to thirty per cent, threat
ming to call a strike unless the manu-
lecturers yielded.
Apparently long struggle has be-
