Spirits FOrsake
Futurisn and Hop
Back to Rameses
Group of "a Pencil Pictures,
Called Real Egyptian Art,
Said To Be Automatic
Drawing Done by Woman

These arc days when spirits refuse
to stay settled. The latest adventure
Of their poor restive souls is in Fifth
Avenue otographer's studio where
they take a long range jump from the
modernity of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's
spirits to the Ramcses of ancient Egypt.
The thing that distinguishes this
particular group of spirits, which takes
in twenty-one penciled drawings done
by Mrs. Emma Mabel, of Chicago, is
that few believe in them, least of all
the person who drew them She laughs
at them and has been laughing for
several years at prominent professors
and archaeologists who insist that they
are perfect specimens of Egyptian art.
The pictures are on exhibition at
Charles Albin's studio, 554 Fifth Ave
nue.. 1t is the first time that they
have been seen in New York, although

called "An Impressionistic Personality
Portrait" was hung at the recent ex-
At the time DR.. Walter Franklin Prince,
- I'd Of the American Society for Psy
cAlcal Research, pronounced it a gcnu-
Inc example of automatic drawing.
At first glance the pencled draw
ings have an air of juvenility Closer
inspection reveals complicated design
that gradually becomes apparent as the
crude outlines are examined. A score
of little esprit" heads float into view
on every figure. The stiff Egyptian
outlines camoufage the whimsical fan
cies of her interviewer figures. These
unusual pictures run from 8x1O inches
to 3x4 feet and contain hundreds and
hundreds Of faces and figures, some SO
small that they can only be seen
through powerful magnifying glass.
The titles Of her pictures are wholly
conventional. such as Effort" 'In-
spiration," ''The Spirit of Death" and
"Xenophon."
"The Spirit Of Death" is half woman
half eagle swooping forward with saw
agery in it's expression.
The work of Mrs Field aroused the
interest of the late Professor James, of
the University Of Minnesota, who
started controversy about them based
on whether they were the product of
subsconscious forces in their creator or
whether they were inspired by dis
embodied spirit.
A special jury Of eminent psychics
and art critics have been invited to
view the exhibition in Mr.. Albn's
studio and pass judgment on it. Among
those approached on this score are Sir
Arthur Conan Doyle, DR.. Walter Frank
lin Prince, DR.. Hereward Darlington,
Hamln Garlin, Yogonanda and John
Sloan.

Under the union rules the employ,

separate contracts with the unions. Tho
employers are further prohibited from
employing men not affiliated with these
Jewish bakers unions. If the employers
were permitted to take their men from
any of the bakers unions. said Mr..
untermyer, they could sell bread for
three cents a loaf cheaper than it IS
now being sold, and would be glad to
do so, for they could greatly enlarge
their business and still further reduce

Leaders of Sea1nen's
Unions Approve
Ship Subsidy Bill
W. 5. Brown and Captain
Pruett Support Direct Aid
Feature as Best Means of
Providing Employment

From The Tribunc's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, May 1.-President
William S. Brown, of the National
Marine Engineers Beneficial Associa
ton, and Captain John II. Pruett, pres
idcnt Of the National Organization of
Masters, Mates and Pilots of America,
supported the direct aid features of
the ship subsidy bill in the hearing
before the joint committee Of Congress
o-day. Mr.. Brown said his organization
had heretofore opposed subsidies. He
said the American was superior as a
seaman to the foreigner. He held the
seamens act was not a handicap but
an aid in raising the standard of liv-
ing He said:
THE proposed bill offers the possi
bilty of creating the adequate mer-
chant marine so necessary to the ma
tion, and at the same time will provide
work for the marine engineers, thou
sands of whom are either unemployed
at the present time or have been forced
into other lines of cndeavor. 1t also
will provide work for men of the other
branches of seafaring who are in a po-
sition similar to that of the engineer,
and it WILL as a whole, tend to alleviate
the general unemployment situation"
Captain Pruett indorsed the bill and
held it would compensate the differ
entails that may exist in the operation
and maintenance of an American mer
chant marine as compared with the
merchant marines Of foreign coun-
tries"
In discussing the merchant marine
reserve clause Representative Davis
tried to bring out from the witness that
the Shipping Board favored this re-
serve clause in a separate bill now be-
fore the House and prepared by the
Navy Department. Commissioner Meyer
Lssner resented this and denied the
Shipping Board had gone on record for
the Navy Departments bill.
G. D. Mallory, New York operator,
indorsedN the bill and dwelt on the i'm
portance of managing agents in the
shipping business.
There is no reason said Mr. NAL
lory why the firms who have operated
Shipping Board vessels and do not de-
sire to become owners should be dis
solved, have their organizations disin-
tegrated and their experience and
knowledge thrown away. They will find

CLEVELAND, May 1.-THE Socialist
party Of the United States to day voted
to cooperate in organizing a national
labor party. Although its approval is
surrounded by so many qualifications
and safeguards that some of the dele
gates questioned whether it meant any
thing definite, the action of the organ
ization marks distinct break with so
cialist traditions in America. For the
twenty-onc years of it's existence the
Socialist party has held aloof from CO.
operative political action.
Veterans who have given many years
to the cause of socialism were among
those who opposed to the last in the
national convention today any form
Of joint political action. They fear the
Socialist party will be swallowed
The vote on the labor party issue was
II to 10. 1t substituted for the agenda
ugGestion-little more than a mere ex-
preston of interest in the labor party
project~a guarded proposal offered by
Morris ElllQuit, of New York, to bring
abou, cooperation. The convention did
not 20 that far, however, until the
HillQuit proposal had been amended
and further safeguarded.
The convention voted to attend CON
ference on joint political action in De-
ccmber, after the November Congress
siona elections have afforded the
party an opportunity to see how joint
action worked.
Max Hays, Of Cleveland, candidate
for Vice President on the Farmer
Labor ticket in 1920, spoke as fra
ternal delegate from that party, urging
the Socialists to operate.
"The British Labor party was not a
Socialist party at the start" he said
"but to-day there probably is not q
leader of it but who is Socialist at
heart
Alexander Kahn. fraternal delegate
of the Jewish Federation, also pleaded
for joint political action.
an New York we don't believe in
FUSION" he said. "We are with the
labor movement and the labor unions
are for US. That is not true Of some
of the other states We must find some
way OF working with the labor move
ment or go out of business. Instead
of looking scornfully at the labor
takers, let's look at ourselves We
have made mistakes, too. We haven't
yet struck the right key that will unite
the working classes.
