| am thankful that | do not have
to live in Albania, where there are
fewer good roads than there are in
Virginia, and where there are no
railroads at all, and where the popu-
lace would be hungrier than it is
but for the American Red Cross.

where the Bulgarians have to COM
pete in the struggle for existence
with refugees from T race, Dobruja
and Russia;
That do not livefn Czechoslova-
kia, where the mark has had such
a far fall the native industries can't
compete with Germany, and not
many of the natives are working
because there are few employers
hiring any of them;
That | do not live in Denmark,
where the industrial crisis is acute
and unemployment does not dimin-
ish;
That l do not live in Esthonia,
where an addition to the population
is all but national calamity;
That | do not live in Finland,
which would be the finish of any
man requiring three square meals
a day;
That | do not live in England,
where there are nearly two million
men and women in the army of
the unemployed;
That | do not live in France,
where the only districts in which
there are as many jobs as men are
Dion and Nancy;
That | do not live in Germany,
where, while there is less unem-
ployment than elsewhere in Europe,
the value of a mark decends so
fast ones wages diminish hun

obvious reasons;

BOMB OUTRAGE

Showing Firm, Hold Anarchists
Have Tried To Take

Chicago, May 17.-Police today
searched for uneXploded bombs be-
lieved to have been placed in $780,
600 apartment building in North Chi
cago which was damaged last night
by fire which police say was started
nv terrorists in connection with the
Chicago labor war. Another de-
yelopment on which authorities con-
centrated their efforts today was the
confession said by police to have
been obtained yesterday from Mrs.
Margaret Miller, wife of John Miller,
! now under arrest as the alleged driver
of the death car" from which shots
were fired killing two policemen early
last Wednesday in the labor feud. Po-
lice connect the firing of the building
with labor disorders through a man
who warned two women in an adioin-
ing building to escape before their
building caught fire. He ran down
the steps shouting "To hell with the
| Lands award"
The building, damaged by fire with
an estimated loss of 100000, was be-
ing erected under the Lands award
a decision handed down by K. M. Ian
dis, former federal Judge, which was
intended to end disputes between
contractors and the Chicago Building
Trades Council The structure was
built by contractor who denied re-
ceiving threats from labor men.
The force of 100 men employed in
construction are divided in two class
es. steam filters and masons working
under the Lands award. and carpen-
tiers and plumbers, working under the
old union scale.
That the fire was set has been prov
en- beyond a doubt, police say, for it
was started on the first and second
floor in various parts almost stimuli
| taneouSly
The questioning of Mrs. Miller, po-
lice say, brought a full confession
from her in which the names of other
occupants of the death car" were
given and it was substantiated by
previous confession said to have been
obtained from her husband. Police
said Mrs. Miller admitted caring for
the occupants of the bandits car who
were supposed to have been wounded
by shots from the policemen's pistols.
Mrs. Miller also admitted sitting in
conference with labor leaders at
which bombings and attacks were dis
cussed, police said, and admitted
knowing that explosives were kept in
her home to be used by labor men in
their fight against the Lands award.
