TITLED CANDY MAKERS +
REFUSE TO join UNION
Needy Countesses and harnesses
Caused q Brief Outlaw Strike
by Refusing to Join Union.

Saalfeld, Sake Meiningen, Aug. II.
Needy countesses and baronesses who
work in a large chocolate factory here
caused a brief outlaw strike the other
day by refusing to join the Socialist
bon-bon makers union.
The demand that they take out
membership cards had been made to
the women out of working hours sew
eral times previously, but always re-
jected. Finally walking delegate
sought out one of the titled ladies at
her workbench. Her indignant re-
fusa to join the union caused such a
commotion in the plant that the dele
gate was thrown out, workers mass
meeting was held, and a strike pro-
claimed. Later the laborers tried to
return to work, but found themselves
locked out. A settlement was reached,
however after few hours.
Most of the titled employees, and
number of ladies of the former royal
court who also work for the firm,
come from the reighboring town of
Rudolstadt, capital of what was once
the principality of Schwartzburg- Ru-
dostadt. The factory's distinguished
payroll includes also the widow of
former cabinet minister.

the American national pastime which
was expected to replace cock-fghting

Manila league Is said to be the only
baseball organization in the islands in
a fourishing condition today,
During the last five years, sporting
authorities say, the department of
public instruction has given no en-
couragement to baseball through the
bureau of education. Prior to that
time, 1t Is sai6. the bureau of educa-
ton was actively engaged in fostering
the national game in the islands. with
a view to eliminating the island sport

SWITZERLAND BEMOANS

Owners OF Big Hotels Near the Alps
Say That They Are
Failing

Geneva, Switzerland, Aug. H.
-Four years of high exchange have
ruined tourist travel In Switzerland.
Many hotel keepers are unable to pay
their rent, some have failed, and bust
ness people say that If nothing Is
done to bring the current of travel
back to the Swiss Alps there will be
many more failures,

favorite path of tourists from all over
the world" said one hotel proprie-
tor recently To-day it is the mecca

1t is estimated that 95 per cent of
the foreign travellers now in Switzer-
land are Americans, and the great
err part OF these are bound for Gen
eva to look into the functioning Of
the league of nations. The heavy
British trade has been lost because
travel In the Italian and French Alps
costs only about third as much as
In Switzerland. The people Of other
countries are unable TO stand the
high rate of exchange.
Complaint Is made in Switzerland
that the federal authorities have done
nothing to solve the problem. Mean
while trade languishes and the Swiss
people, with diminished incomes. go
outside the country for their pleas
