LONDON, March 29.-(By Asso.
ciated Press. THE strike of London's
tramway and bus workers was ended
yesterday through negotiations between
the workers representatives and the
employers. The direct negotiations

/, The men left their posts at mid

The strike was settled on a basis con-

ITALY PREPARES
|. HER EMIGRANTS
FOR new HOMES
Likewise, She Studies
Money Transportation
For Them

ROME, March is. Correspond
ence of Associated Press. Premier
Mussolini and his government are fac
ing theoretically and eypertly ftaly;s
problems. among them that of emigraz
ton. The question is being studied
from all sides, including the choice of
suitable enigrants for the different
countries requiring additional labor;
the sanitary, moral and educational
preparation Of those who propose to
leave their native country: the encour-
agement of semigrations the choice of
suitable lands to which emigrants should
be directed. and the proteetion and as
sistance Of the emigrants when he Is
far away from home in strange and
unknown surroundings. 40
Rapid Increase
italian overseas emigration rose to
17S,000 during 1923, an increase of
Sc, 1000 over the preceding year. OF
these, $4,000 went to the Argentine !;
$1,000 to the United States; $4,000
to Brazil; 6,400 to Canada; $500 to
Uruguay; 1,150 to Australia; LOO to
Central America. North American inn
migration restrictions have driven a
large proportion to the Argentine, while
governmental care and regulations have
enabled many agricultural laborers to
find suitable remunerative work in
Brazil.
In pursuance Of Mussolini's princi-
plesof assisting those who have served
their country during the great war,
the commissioner general of emigration
assigned 1900 American permissiens to
ex-combatants, and the government has
been gratified to learn that the per-
centage Of undesirable emigrants has
been lower among Italians than in any
other natoin.
Well Prepared
The sanitary preparation of italian
eIhigrants has enormously improved
during the last few years; there will
soon be special emigrant houses in
Naples, Genoa, Trieste and at Bardo-
necchia which are provided with hot
and cold baths, elaborate systems of
disinfection and cleansing, and sanitary
attendants, who medicate emigrants
and start them off in a thoroughly
health and clean state. sG.f s.
An international conference will be
held next May in. Rome to suggest and
agree upon reguia tons for the further
protection. and assistance Of emigrants,
and the arrangements for sending home
the money earned by them.

PEARL DIVERS
IN SOUTH SEA
GET RICH QUICK
Fine Shawls And Canned
Salmon Are Favorite
Luxuries

PAPEETE, Tahiti, March 2S.-( Cor
respondent of the Associated Press.
Pearl diving off the island of Hikueru
has yielded rich returns during the sea-
son just closed. Both pearl shells and
pearls of high value have been found in
large numbers in the. waters of the
lagoon.
These pearl oyster beds had been un-
der restriction for number Of years
and for that reason the jewel crop was
unusually good.
The diving is done by natives whd
have trained themselves from childhood
to descend to great depths and remain
under water a long time. No diving
machines are permitted.
/. Representatives from Paris jewelry
houses always are on hand to COM
pete for the better quality OF pearls.
Pearls of lesser value fall into the hands
of speculatively inclined Chinese and
European schooner captains. From long
experience the natives are fully aware
of the value of their finds, so that
not many bargains are available.
The South Sea island native reacts
to prosperity SYSTEMATICALLY. The wife
of the successful diver parades the white
coral beach of Hikueru clad in brilliant
silks, high heel shoes, picture hats and
the most costly Chinese shawls. In the
island of Bora Bora, where the high
price of vanilla beans has raised grow
ers Of that staple OF temporary afflu-
ence, the Chinese shawl has been APP
propriated by the men as the insignia
Of great riches. 1t is worn draped
around the neck, with the embroidered
ends hanging gracefully down the back
and chest. The real vanilla barons wear,
in addition, second shawl of diff
ferent color about the waist.
Many stories of lucky finds at Hiku-
cru have drifted into Papeete. One
tells how the keeper of a semaphors
signal at Papeete, who went to the
island on Holiday, happened to see q
large pearl oyster lying in shallow
water near the beach, dived for it and
on opening it found a pearl for which
he received $4,000 francs. Another re-
lates that an old native woman, while
fishing on the reef, studied her toe
against an oyster that yielded a gem
worth $1,000 gold.
Riches, however, never do "A Tahi-
tian native any permanent good. They
are dissipated Immediately in fine
clothes, cases of timed salmon (no ma.
tive will wet his toes in the sea in
search of fish If canned salmon can be
had), guitars, aecordions, and all man
ner of trivial amusements.
Then, when the tide of affluence has
ebbed, tn Thitian returns to his Ioin
cloth and his bread-fruit and fish diet
until another crop of copra or vanilla
has matured, or the restriction has
been taken off another pearl island.

AUSTRIAN WINS. |.
RACE WITHSTORK
TO FRENCH Title
Prince Rene Now Claims
Chambord Castle Un-
der Old Law sasis.,

BERLIN, March 81 BY the Assoc
.ciated Press. )-y Various Germans and
Austrians who, through their family
connections had their estates in France
seized by the French governments sdurs
ing the world war, are eagerly watch
ing the efforts Of Prince Rene 81. Bour-
bon Parma, brother of former Empress
Zita of Austria, to regain possession
Of his family's share in the famous
Chambord castle property. The castle.
which is situated in Loir-et-Cher, eight
miles east 'of Blois, was formerly one
Of the gfandest royal estates in. France.
The surrounding park, about Fl miles
in circumference and surrounded by
walls. is one of the finest In Europe.
Prince Rene who married Princess
Margaret Of Denmark in Copenhagen
in 1921, served in the Austrian arzay
during the war. Even before his, mar
rage, since 1919, the prince had been
desperately endeavoring to regain, the
I hambord castle, which he claimed was
his by right of inheritance. The prince
was born at Schwarzau.
1t appears there is an old French
law providing that prince of BCur,
bon, born on French soil, has legal
claim to his family possessions. When
this fact became known, Prince Rene
and Princess Margaret were living in
Luxembourg The princess at the. time
was expecting a visit from the stork.
There was not a moment to lose.
Therefore an automobile was pressed
into service and the princess, accom-
panied by her husband physician
and nurse hurried to Longwys Just
over the Luxembourg frontier in France,
where the next morning. a new prince
of Bourbon-P Parma was usheredl into
the world. Suit to reclaim the Cham
Ebord property in the name of the young
prince was begun shortly afterward and
continues to be fought merrily III the
French courts. .EliG.'

RACES MAY NOW
SUFFER SETBACK
Belmont Proves Racing
Popular Without Oral
Betting
By HENRY L. FARRELL
Omitted Press Sports Editor)

NEW YORK, Dec. 26. -Interna-
tional horse racing, which was well
on the way toward an annual fix
ture after two successful expert
ments had been conducted in this
country, may suffer serious set
D,.o4. III the ucath of Major August
Belmont, chairman of the Jockey
Club of America and the. sponsor of
the international races held here in
the last two years.
1t was Major Belmont who induc-
ed the owner of Papyrus, the winner
of the English derby, to send his
thoroughbred here III 1928 for
match against Zev, the American
champion, and it was Major Belmont
who arranged the invasion this year
Of Epinard, the great French cham
pion.
Major Belmont was perhaps the
nearest thing to the ideal sportsman
IN this country. His big hobby was
the thoroughbred. lie lived for rae
ing and Tough COR racing and if the
sport didn I have MS its leader a
man of such high character and es-
tablished reputation in the financial
and social worlds, it is unlikely that
the race tracks in New York would
now be operating.
When racing was defended as a
sport that was conducted principally
Tor the purpose of improving the
breed of the horse, reformers
c-huckled and remarked that racing
was nothing but game TO bet on.
When he was given the chance, Bel
mont proved that racing was popu-
lar without even oral betting.
