CROWS HUMBLE EAGLE
Beat Huge King Bird Of Air to
Earth in@Bitter Fight.
Defeated Bird, Its Feathers Broken,
Picked Up ard Sent to Cincinnati
=. Zoo-Dstress Signal Brings
Hundreds of Crows.

Cincinnati.-A golden eagle sat mo-
rOsely in the eagle house at the zoo,
doing his best to straighten and preen
tile broken feathers of his once proud
coat. No wonder. The huge eagle had
been humbled by members of the crow
clan.
The eagle arrived from Williams
burg Grated and riding on top of an
automobile truck driven by Harry
Hall. Mr.. Hall said he captured the
huge bird several days ago on his
farm after the eagle had alighted near
a crows nest containing young birds.
Mr.. and Mrs. Grow were standing
guard over the brood, and when the
eagle dropped out of the sky they let
out frantic squawks for help. Instant
ly, from all points of the horizon,
there began to materialize a fleet OF
angry crows. In a few moments the
air was black with crows and blue
with crow epithets
The naughty eagle glared defiance
at the threatening cloud of feathered
warriors wheeling past and chung to
his limb. Boder and holder became
the crows; closer and closer they
swept to the enemy. their wing feath-
ers brushing his face, their beaks
swapping defiance and hatred. More
than a hundred of the ebony fighters
assembled at last, and finally the bold
er spirits began delivering blows
along with the threats and oaths.
The finish came swiftly. The eagle
and the nest which the crows were
trying to defend were both knocked
from the limb and went tumbling to
earth in a pecking, claWing, curslng
mass. Even after they had their en-
envy on the ground the victorious
! crows gave no mercy, and but for the
timely arrival of Mr.. Hall and other
/ farmers who were blowing corn in the
fields near by the affair might have
! ended in a tragedy.
The men drove the crows away and

to his house and put him in a cage
the crows following as a triumphant
escort to see that the thing was done
properly and without deceit.
Sol Stephan, manager of the zoo, says
the eagle is a fine specimen, measur
ing nine feet from tip to tip of hi

worse for his terrible mauling Mr.

a prominent part in fomenting the
revolt against French rule in Syria
last May, and who later managed to
escape from prison where she was

STRIKE COST IS HEAVY
Loss to Labor in 1921, Due to
Disputes, Was s132,o0o,00o.
Survey Indicates 100000 Man Hours
Lost Daily in Disturbance
Building Trades Lead, With
Printers Second.

New York.-The loss of time due to
strikes in the present year will I'M
doubtedly exceed that of last year, ac-
cording to figures compiled by the Ma
tional Industrial Conference Board, III
East Thrty-ninth street. The board
estimates that at present 1,25OOOo
workers are idle because of strikes
in various industries, entailing direct
loss of approximately 100000 man
hours of work each day.
There were 2267 strikes and lock-
outs in the United States in 1921, says
the board report. or less than any of
the five preceding years. The number
Of strikes brought to the attention OF
the bureau of labor statistics in 1916
was $3.50: in 1917, 4,45O; in 1918,
1858 in 1919, 3,577, and in 1920, SOD.
The number of persons involved in
1887 of the strikes and 95 of the lock-
outs reported in 1927 was 1,0S5,653.
The total duration of 1,409 of the
strikes and 10 of the lOckouts last
year was 6O,165 days. The average
duration of the strikes in 1921 was 90
days. Estimating the average wage
of the workers in these strikes and
lockoutS at 50 a day, the total loss of
wages alone due to this number of
/ tabor disputes in 1927 would be about
| S132, 100000.
Two and half times as many
| strikes occurred in the first half of the
years as in the last half, says the re
port, the largest being that of the ma
rine workers in May, involving about
10000 strikers and embracing all the
