Valentino is free. but he will work
out his destiny alone for a year

Justice ]. Walter Handy this
morning cut the chains that fas-

no doubt that Valentino had mar

Sanction "Moral Agree

Operators and Wholesalers
Action Makes Stand Incon-
sistent, Insists Chief.

Retail coal dealers are willing t.
make a moral agreement with
Secretary Hoover to prevent sky
rocketing of prices to the consumer
during the coal strike emergency.
but they have also assured him that
retail prices are due for a rise with
in the next few days.
Powerless to obtain an agreement
against this price rise because OF
the nonpolioing prerogatives of his
department, Secretary Hoover could
only tell the fifty retailers who con-
ferred with him late yesterday that
he cant stand for the retailer
wanting to increase prices. espe-
cially since the action taken in
by operators and whole
salers has prevented an increase OF

Roderick Stephens. Of New York
chairman of the board Of directors

as spokesman for the retailers. told
Mr.. Hoover that retail prices OF date
have remained stationary in almost
all localities, but must advance in
the immediate future sl.75. more or

Extent of Effect.
This is the effect so far as New
York. Chicago and other points are
concerned, OF the $3.50 maximum
fair price that has been agreed upon
for spot run-ofmine coal" stephens
said.
Mr.. Hoover told the retailers that
the increase was not justified: that
already in some instances hitumi-
nous coal was selling to the con-
sumner for 50 a ton. OF at least so
over what he conceived to be a rea-
sonable price.
You haven't prevented the in

have simply limited it." stephens
declared. However. we are glad
to say we are in accord with the
movement originated here to pre-
vent unduly high urices. And we
are willing to cooperate with YOU.

Labor Strikes 5000 YearsA6o Same as Today

Tybi passed without the people receiving
their supplies. They must have been ac-
customed to such treatment, for they al
lowed another month to pass before TAX
ing any radical steps. Then they lost
patience and on the 10th of Mechir they
crossed the five walls of the metropolis"
and said: I'VE have been starving for
eighteen days.
They placed themselves behind the
Temple of Thothmes III. and refused to be
moved from their sacred harbor OF refuge.
the two chief workmen tried to entice
them back to work. They refused to
move until their demands were granted
and the next day, the affair having as
sumed threatening aspect, two officers
of the police were sent to the place. The
priests also tried to pacify the workmen,
but their answer was I'VE have been
driven here by thirst and hunger. We
have no clothes, we have no oil, we have
no food. Write to our Lord the Pharaoh
on the subject and write to the Governor
who Is over us that they may give us
something for our sustenance"
Their resistance was successful and on
that very day they received their provi.
sions for the entire month. Peace reigned

their wages we're again stopped and again
they threatened to strike.

complaints and make their demands to
the men who were next to Pharaoh. The
result was that on the 30th of the month
the great princes ordered the scribe
"Chaemuere" to appear before them and
ordered him to distribute the corn be-
longing to the Government as rations to
the workmen so that they would be in
clined to return to their work on the
metropolis.
The table shows this entry in connec-
ton with the strike at the metropolis
I'VE received to-day our corn rations:
we gave two boxes and writing table to
the fan bearer" The meaning of the last
part OF the entry is that the boxes and
the writing tablet we're given to an at
tendant of the Governor as presents for
persuading his master to settle the claims
OF the laborers.
The conditions OF the workmen of the
metropolis were just as deplorable in the
twenty-ninth year Of Rameses III. The
men were almost obliged to enforce the
payment OF their supplies Of the food
owing to them by "a strike of work" On
these occasions they left the City of the
Dead with their families, thus emptying
whole sections of the town, and threat
ened never to return to work unless their
demands we're granted. Documents have
reen found showing that this state of un-
rest among the proletariat existed contin.
uously for half year. The month Of

The translation shows that there ex-
listed at Thebes a large number of work
men employed in the erection Of the ne
cropolis. They were composed of metal
workers, carpenters, artisans and similar
craftsmen, who we're always referred to
by the oficials--and of course the gentry
of Thebes-as the crowd or companies"
At their head was chief workman who
resembled the foreman OF our present
day, and to him was intrusted-in addi-
ton to the overseeing Of his men-the
keeping of daily journal showing the
record of the laborers.
These reveal to us that the time sheet
of to-day is no more than an elaboration
of the daily recording of the workmen of
ancient Egypt. There are even the same
old excuses for absence from work-the
word "ill" being entered the greatest
number of times beside that of the mans
name; again, there would be that of
"laziness" and occasionally the plea Of
taking holiday in order to sacrifice to
the gods, or because the wife or mother
in-law of the family suffered from some
sickness.
This particular group of workmen was
employed in the City Of the Dead at
Thebes during the reign of Rameses TX.

teristics of modern Egypt to-day that
payments OF any description are never

~ RITISH scientists, biologists and
u lmedical authorities are worried
by new tendencies in womankind.
The French, especially critics of America
with its freedom for women, are satirical.
American scientists and physicians are
discreetly marking time, saying they do
not know what's going to happen, but
that they win be able to decide in some
six or seven generations.
All are willing to talk freely on the
new development of woman, but nobody
seems willing to predict her biological
future. That is, up to certain point.
British physicians come nearer to
prophecy than any other group of inves.
tigators.
No dire monstrosity is promised in the
But these savants do forecast sort Of
biological extinction with positive phys.
ical reaction to certain mental qualities
being emphasized in the modern woman.
In other words, Nature, they declare,
angered at being ignored in the increas-
ing number of women who refuse to
marry, will be revenged. Even as the
archangel stood, with flaming sword, in
the Garden of Eden in those ages long
ago when the first chapter in the ever fas-
cinating history of womankind was writ
ten, and drove Adam and Eve from Para
disc, so Nature, in the garb of Nemesis,
an avenger, goddess Of retribution, will
stand in the next six generations and
drive woman to estrangement from
motherhood; to complete extinction as
sex.
In fact British scientists are moved to
vigorous action at the prospect.
A committee of investigation has been

ancient Egypt as shown in the transla-
tions. The routine of delays to which
the workmen we're subject was the great
est factor in the labor problem at that
time Many promises were made by en-
ployers, but very often months would
pass before payment would be made. and
the men practically we're starved into re-

The supply of corn was due on the 2Sth
CT each month in the month of Phame-

Phamuthi it was not delivered at all and
the workmen went on strike or, as the
Egyptians expressed It, stayed in their

scribes and priests to return to their
work.
On the 2Sth of Pachons the corn was
paid, but to the rage of the workmen
