RESIGNATION WILL
NOT ALTER POLICY
"a. F. of L. Publicity service.)


WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 22-
at has been announced that Edo
Fimmen, one of the secretaries Of
the International Federation of
Trades Unions, has resigned and
newspaper representatives have ask
ed whether this will in any way af-
feet possible affiliation of the A. F.
of L. to the international Federation
of Trade Unions" said President
Samuel Gompers at A. F. of L. head
quarters.
Announcement of Secretary Finn
mems resignation was made at head
quarters Of the Internatinal FEEDER
alton of Trade Unions in Amsterdam
in the follwing language:
"In view of the numerous reports
which have recently appeared in the
press, we consider it necessary to
state that the rumors circulating to
the effect that our Secretary Edo
Fimmin has been discharged are abb
solutely untrue.
AT the recent full meeting of the
management committee, which was
held at the beginning Of August last
Fimmen stated that he desired to
tender his resignation. The commit
tee agreed to accept it, but left it to

tiers its attitude toward a number of
questions raised by the A. F. of L.,
whether as a result of his resigna-
ton or otherwise.
"The American Federation of La
Dor has declined to affiliate with the
International Federation of Trade
Unions on a number of grounds. The
International Federation of Trade
Unions has committed itself to the
idea of a general strike in the event
of any war, even a defensive war,
and it has furthermore adopted a
method of procedure which has de-
stroyed national autonomy within the
international Federation. These are
two of the principal points upon
which the American Federatin of La
Dor has made known its disagree
ment.
National Autonomy.
"Above everything else the A. F.
of L. has insisted upon national au-
tonomy, refusing to be bound by the
vote of other nations to policies with
which it cannot agree.
"The last convention of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, held in
Portland, Oregon, directed the execu-
tive council of the A. F. of L. to con-
tinue negotiations in the hope of
reaching an agreement by which af-
filiation with the International Fed
Grafton of Trade Unions may be had
Secretary Fimhen's resignation of
itself cannot affect these negotiations
,''If the International Federation OF
Trade Unions, for one reason or an
other, can find a way to come into
agreement with the requirements of
the American Federatin of Labor the
situation will of course be material
ly altered"

PUBLIC KNOWS OPEN
SHOP DRIVE DYING

The National Founders Association
has prepared an exhibit to show the
remarkable development of open
shop approval among all classes in
America" The first thought in this
connection is that there has been
no such growing approval, but that
approval has diminished.
Propagandists are trying hard to
keep the so-called open shop alive
but it's hard job. The whole thing
was a fraud from the beginning and
even a payroll can't keep a fraud
alive forever.
The tenacity of the propagandists
would be more admirable if it were
displayed in a better cause.

Soviet Influence.


"There has been much dispute
within the International Federation
of Trade Unions and much criticism
of that organization because of the
action of Secretary Fimmen some
months ago in entering into an agree
ment with the soviet organization Of
Transport Workers." President Com
pers continued "Fimmen, who is
secretary of the international FEEDER
alton of Transport Workers, assisted
in engineering an alliance between
this organization and the red Trans
port Workers organization.
''The resignation of Fimmen obvi-
ously means a decrease Of soviet in

SALE OF PICTURES OF FILIPINOS IN
 NATIVE DRESS VIGOROUSLY DEFENDED

If there is breach of promise the aggrieved party is remunerated. If there be divorce-and one of the chief grounds for this is no children or weak offsprings-the property the woman brought to the marriage is restored to her. If there are children, she takes them "All the property of both must be assigned to the children at the time of divorce (except the personal property). The one who takes the child Gin rare cases the father may) takes also the property of that child and tills it. He may not dispose of the property; should the child die, it's brothers and sisters inherit the property
 This is quoted from Barton's "Ifu gao Law" an excellent authority. Here are some of the causes for divorce: Neglect in time of sickness, i'll treat ment of one spouse by near kin of the other (mischievous mothers-in-law) disposal of property by one spouse without the consent of the other, lazi ness, getting into debt or squandering money, jealousy, continued quarreling inconsistency.

IRISH FARMERS IN
 "KU KLUX' SOCIETY
Organize to Reduce Wages of Work CTS; PenaIize Those Who
 Don't Join

DUBLIN, March 6.-The Ku Klux Klan has arrived in Ireland, accord ing to c. F. Ridgeway, organizer of the Irish Transport and Genera Workers Union, the largest trade
 union in Ireland.
 "All the farmers are now in dis pute with their men," Ridgeway said
 "and they have formed themselves
 into a flying column, even intimidat ing other farmers to force them tc join the organization, lock out the farm hands and compel them to take a reduction in wages.
 "In one case that I know of the Ku KIux Klan farmers imposed z
 fine of $45 upon farmer who re fused to discharge his laborers. The marauders searched the farmers home and, when he rendered check in payment of the fine, refused tc take it, demanding money. Since this Ku Klux Klan has beer formed fires have been frequent
 among the farmers buildings, and the
 workers are being blamed for the work of the marauders."

Miss Martha Miller Is Again Eager Return
 to Scene SHOT ELEPHANTS, LIONS
Went on Akeley Expedi. ton; Ate Lion Heart
 Saute

NEW YORK, March 6. Central Africa is great rolling country, much like Wisconsin, for example. And an elephant grazing on Congo meadows is no more strange to the view than an amiable Holstein doing the same thing in Waukesha County The pachy- derm, like any other creature, is neith- CT preposterous nor awe-inspiring, "chez lui" that is, in his native ele- ment, with all his "props" about him.
 Yet even the stuffed ones at New Works Museum of Natural History always make our timid heart turn around once or twice for luck; while on the several occasions that we have done stories about the circus we have been at great pains not to write any thing unfavorable about the elephants, for they are supposed never to forget.
 Africa, though, has tremendous lure, one variety of which Cynthia Stockley has often indicated in her fascinating stories about events on the veldts. Aside from that, it is able to call back from the luxuries of such civilization as Manhattan affords a girl huntress of twenty-three, who has brought down her elephant, her lion and two specimens of antelope.
 Natural and Pleasant
 Miss Martha Miller testifies that Africa is wholly beautiful and seldom uncomfortable. It is nearly twelve months since she returned with the Carl Akeley Gorilla Expedition, so en- amored of that land that she declared she would go back before another year elapsed That period of time is nearly up and we wanted to know if the Ethiopian country had complete ly alienated her affections.
 After two weeks in the jungle it seems the natural, pleasant way to live," Miss Miller explained. "It al ways appealed to my imagination. l was never afraid of anything, having had six brothers and no sister, and doing whatever the boys did.

MANILA, March 6. - Two proprie- tors of picture shops on the Escolta, Manlia's Fifth Avenus, have been charged with selling "obscene and in decent" pictures of Ifugaos, Negritos, Igorots and other people of the Philip pines in their native costumes.
 The issue has developed hotly de- bated defense, and the defendants will seek to prove in court that the pie lures are neither indecent nor ob- scene, but on the other hand illustrate mode of dress which conforms rig idly to tribal standards of modesty and reflects customs far more ancient and fixed than the Western garb. The defendants charge that the govern ment represented by the Christian Filipinos" are seeking arbitrarily to impose upon the natives their own idea of dress.
 A sturdy Igorot or Ifugao brave may be shown in a G-string, they contend, while his 1.-the limbs and si- neWed torso might be the subject for a Greek statue. An Ifugao wom- an, whom the feminine movement has yet to overtake in the liberty she en- | joys, would be shamed by a Paris gown; the scantier, but different, drapery traditional with her, cloaks her in perfect modesty.
 It is believed that the Government s action is partly based in the fact that pictures of these virtuous primitives sent out of the islands on postcards might be lengended as those of Fili- pinos, which of course they are not !; the true Filipino is Christian, and costuming him and his occidental lady in conventional dress enriches i'm porters and merchant in the Philip pines. Even overcoats are worn by some Filipinos in the rainy season.
 To get back to the alleged "immod- est" Ifugao woman.
 Unmarried Ifugaos live in dormitor- ies, and marriages are trial marriages solemnized as permanent partnerships by elaborate ceremonies after it is clear that the contracting parties are compatible. By choice and by long established custom, Ifugaos are mon- ogamists, both men and women, there being the single standard of morality for both.

 Sees Only Pretty Side
 'If you are determined to see the pretty side of a place the unpleasant features of it will not impress you, the young Diana explained her attl tude toward travel.
 When we asked about the proper mental attitude in which to approach the staying of a large and wild ami nal, Miss Miller said:
 Never worry about the next mo ment. Take each one as it comes.
 People who go out looking for dan ger bump into it.''
 Going along as an "extra gum With the Akeleys, Mrs. Mary Hastings Brad ley and her small daughter, it was Miss Martha Miller who brought down the first elephant that fell for the ex petition. These intrepid hunters not only slew the giants of the animal kingdom, but ate of them. Elephant steak and chopped lions heart were features of the jungle table d'hote.
 "Elephant steak has rich, 'gamey taste," said Miss Miller "The natives smoked it over a bonfire of green branches and danced around it like a barbecue. It had to be eaten right away after the elephant was killed there was no way to keep it longer.
 Lions heart could have been any thing, judging from the taste. We tried that just to say we had sampled it.
 Wears Leopard Coat
 Miss Miller wore a fashionable coat of leopard skin and a little turban trimmed with the same fur. We rude lv inquired whether or not she had shot her coat in addition to her other trophies.
 "No, but the skins came from Africa native got them for me. I had ii made up here," she replied.
 For the present Miss Miller is giving some lectures on her experiences, as founding enough for anyone, let alone a girl. Though she doesn't like snakes the huntress says she was too proud to pay any attention to weird tales told by teasing persons they encoun tered on the trip, that bold reptiles crawled into ones blankets during jungle nights.
 q wouldn't look as matter ol pride" Miss Miller told us.
 All of which sounds almost incon ceivably courageous to us this story of a girl who stalked an elephant and looked a lion in the eye in broad day light while so many of us are toe cowardly to kill lyric cat at mid night.

NEW ENGLAND HAS HAD
 MUCH COAL BROUGHT IN
New Haven Statement Shows Excen. tionally Heavy Shipments Since
 First of April

New Haven, July 31.--A compara- tive statement as to movement of an- thracite coal over the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad was issued by the operating department today, and its figures show a greater num- Der of cars moved for the past four months than for the same period in 1921 and 1922.
 The statement says:
 "The coal year commences April first and our figures for the first four months of the coal year. namely, April May, June and July (figures for the latter month being estimated on basis of cars so far received) in dicate total of 28,263 cars of an thracite coal received, which com pares with 25,9S6 cars for, the same period in 1921 and 4,96l cars for the same period in 1922, this latter low figure being q ue to the anthracite coal strike last year.
 J This is considerably more coal than has been brought into New Eng land by the New Haven for any first four months period of the coal year, with one exception, namely. 1918, during which year there was ths largest number of cars of coal re- ceived of any year of which we have record"

Churches Start Move.

Hartford, July 31.--Concerted eff. forts to urge upon the people of Con. necticut the necessity for enforcing the law and of observing the edicts of prohibition, have been started by the Connecticut Federation oi Churches, working in cooperation with the judiciary and bar association of the state,
 Definite plans for the campaign were completed Monday in q confer ence held in Bridgeport between Chief Justice George W. Wheeler and the Rev. Morris F. Alling secretary of the Connecticut Federation of Churches.
 According to the plans, all churches in the state will be asked to cooper ate in bringing to the people the vital importance of creating change of teeling concerning the enforcement of all laws and particularly prohibition laks. Pastors of the churches will be urged to preach frequently upon the phase of public duty, and 1t is ex- pected that the campaign will cul- minate in the observation of a law enforcement Sunday, early in the fall, when special exercises will be held by religious and civic organiza tions
 The detailed work of the movement has been placed in the hands of the committee on law enforcement of the Connecticut Federation of Churches and will be directed by Harrison B. Freeman, chairman of the commit tee, and the Rev. Morris F.. filling, secretary of the federation. Members of the bar will be asked to speak to church and civic organizations on the subject of law enforcement, and the judiciary brought through the direc- ton of Chief Justice Wheeler will be especially active in the movement.
