BLACK SWAN SUES
COLUMBIA over
RECORD SINGER

NEW YORK. Jan. 7.-Announce-
ment that the attorneys for the makers
of the famous Black Swan Records
have in preparation a damage suit
against the Columbia Graphaphone
Company was made here this week.
1t is alleged that many unfair tactics
have been resorted to by various white
companies to obstruct the progress OF
the Pace Company and to curtail the
growing popularity of Black Swan
Records.
Among the latest campaigns to be
inaugurated is a series of advertise
ments in which it is claimed that GER
tain artists under exclusive contract
to the Pace Photograph Corporation
are being claimed by the Columbia
among their exclusive artists.
The singer in question is Carroll
Clark, who has been with the Pace
Photograph Corporation since its be-
ginning and two of whose records had
already been released on Black Swan.
Mr. Clark at one time made a record
or so for the Columbia but they gave
very little notice to his recording. In
releasing it, instead of publishing his
picture as is usual, they printed pic
ture of a Southern Scene" so Mr.
Clark states. He became dissatisfied
over the matter and was among the
earliest applicants to sing for the
Black Swan. Due to the publicity
given by Mr.. Pace to Mr.. Clark, who
had signed an exclusive contract with
Mr.. Pace, and after thousands of his
pictures had been printed and distrib-
uted by Black Swan, the Columbia
resurrected these old records and are
now announcing Clark as an exclusive
artist whose singing can be heard only
on Columbia Records.
In view of the fact that a new record
by Mr. Clark, Swing Low, Sweet
Chariot and lone Sweetly Solemn
Thought" was released January 1st on
Black Swan Records, Mr.. Pace is adj
vised by his attorneys that the cam
paign of the Columbia is calculated to
damage the sale of the Black Swan
Record of Mr.. Clark's and suit for
damages is being prepared accord
ingly.
The attorneys are also investigating
the complaint that another white COM
pany has bribed certain dealers to
damage their Black Swan Records be-
fore selling them to customers with a
view to making the customer feel that
the race product was sent out in that
condition and to cause him to cease
buying them.

Cattlemen Receive Thousands More By Marketing Co-operatively.

Tucson, Dec. 15.-Buyers in Santa Cruz County offered a cattleman, MT. H., $32.OO per head for his three year-olds and $25 for his twos. Hav- ing only a few threes, he sold them, but decided to stick with his Associa- ton and sell his twos with theirs His neighbor, MT. X., had good bunch of threes and was offered $33.- GO for his threes, $25 for his twos, and $20 for his yearlings. MT. X re- fused to sell by the head. and insisted that he and his associates would sell only by weight.
 A price was finally agreed upon and some twelve hundred head were sold over the scales. The following fig ures were reported. MT. H. received for his twos $37 per head and over SPA per head for his yearlings. MT. X. received few cents less than $50 per head for his three-year-olds, and about the above mentioned prices on twos and yearlings. Thus, by sell ing over the scales, he received nearly $17 per head more for his threee than his first offer, while MT. H. re- ceived SIP more per head for his twos and $4 more for his yearlings.
 Returns on the entire twelve hund- red head were not always like the above, but the average came pretty near those figures.
 Cooperative selling among those concerned in this deal has reiceived an impetus which will make it easy for the officers of the Association and the County Agent to extend their sell ing operations among the neighbor- ing cattlemen.

TIE GAME LOST TO wINsLow
First Basketball Game on Home Court Close but Visitors get Break and Final two Points.

Some have said that the girls game of basket ball is slower than the game played by the boys but this could not be true of the game between the Winslow and Williams girls played on the Williams court last Friday evening.
 Williams led out in the first few minutes but the visitors soon found their stride and at the end of the fif- teen minute half the score book showed visitors 6 locals 4.
 In the second half it was "1S11 make this one, you take that one" until at the end of the playing time the count was ten to ten. Accord ing to the girls rules the game con- tinued until either team makes a total of two additional points. For four minutes-long, tense, anxious nninutes-the ball was worked from one end of the court to the other only to miss the hoop when it rose-and finally Proctor for the visitors edged one through and it was all over.
 The next game at home will be with the Normal boys January 19.

Pottery Manufacturers Get Big Tariff
 Workers Receive Old Pay

Pottery Manufacturers Get Big Tariff
 Workers Receive Old Pay.
 Workers in pottery plants whose owners are members of the United States Potters'. Association have re- turned to their employment after hav- ing been on strike for two months in an unsuccessful effort to obtain an i'm crease of per cent in their wages. They go back to work at the former scale. .
 One of the arguments presented by the proponents of the heavy duties inn posed by the Fordney-McCumbe profiteers' tariff act on imports of pottery was that these high tolls would protect" American workers from competition with Czecho-Sloa- vkian and German operatives who re- ceive only a small fraction of the average daily wage paid by manufac- turing potters in the United States.
 The manufacturers got the rates they wanted on more than 100 items in the schedule covering the earths and earthenware, and prices to the consumer have already begun to re- fleet the increases in the tariff. The workers not only have not beneftes: by this protection to their employ CTS but are poorer by the loss of two months pay as a consequence of their strike.

The Comforts of Security.


 One of the greatest causes for thankfulness experienced by the citi- zen, and which many never give a thought, is peace and security.
 Our country is free from war and social disorders, and few policemen firemen and traffic men keep order and protection in each community.
 Our banking system is so perfect ly adjusted that no one worries about their deposits or their little savings or about almost any investment.
 The citizen sleeping peacefully in his bed at home gets great hunk of enjoyment knowing that he has fire protection and insurance.
 In all towns and cities are equip ments that are constantly being im- proved for his benefit and if fire breaks out it is usually stopped.
 On top of this he knows that state fire insurance commissioners are bending every energy to see that in- surance companies are kept sound.
 The greatest asset of the average citizen is that he works and sleeps with a great umbrella of security spread over him by the government cooperating with private industries which seek to protect his every inter est. -

ARIZONA GENTLEMEN FIND
 VERY UNSETTLED MARKET

Cattlemen of Arizona are exper- fencing the most unsettled market conditions in years, according to a bulletin just issued by the Arizona Cattle Growers Association, which Angeles stock yards have created great uncertainty, both of markets and prices.
 The bulletin declares that since the opening of the union stockyards at Los Angeles November 1st large num- bers of cattle from the Northwest and Rocky Mountain district and from Texas have moved to Los Angeles which formerly went to eastern mar kets. These cattle are thrown on the open market, and many have been sold at sacrifice, since they cannot be moved. The opening of the stockyards also has kept buyers off the ranges to great extent. In ad- dition to having to sell his stock in direct competition with that from other states. the Arizona cattleman runs he risk of having to feed his cattle in the yards for days and take loss from shrinkage, until he can find a buyer.
 The association believes that cattle men are loath to give up the present fair system of selling their herds at the ranches, under which cattle are taken as they are needed, and not dumped on the market because the growers has no other outlet.
 The Arizona Livestock report for November issued by the U. s. Bureau of Agricultural Economies and CO., operating agencies states it is prob able fall sales will reach 13O,O00, of which 100000 will be shipped outside the state, mostly to California
 The fall movement of sheep and lambes to market is estimated at 26O,OOO head. Sheep men are great ly encouraged by their successful season.
