 OF SCENE PAINTERS
Artist Gets Special Permit to Enable
 Her to Finish Stage Settings.

Ne wYork, Feb 23-Mrs. Clara Fargo Thomas, society woman and mural painter, has been obliged to become technically a member of the Scene Painters Unlon, it was dis closed in order to show some of her work on the stage.
 Some days ago it was announced that Mrs. Thomas woudl paint the scenes for a new play, Grounds for Divorce" which is being prepared for an Atlantic City opening by Charles Frohman, Inc Later it was discov- cred that the Scene Painters Union, composed of men regualrly employed in the business, objected to the work of a non-union scenic artist
 Producers of the play, who were counting on Mrs Thomas settings for much of the effect of the produc- tion, were understood to have made overtures to the scene painters with the result that Mrs Thomas was told that permit would be issued for her upon application under which she would be allowed to compete" with union scene painters.
 On this basis, 1t was explained, Mrs. Thomas will be able to finish her work on the scenefy and no further difficulty is expected.
 Mrs. Thomas Is well known for her murals and her brilliantly painted furniture, large part of which was exhibited early this season at the An derson Galleries and aroused much favorable comment.

Private Compensation
 Urged By Business Men

Washington, Feb. I6.-Business in terests in this city and throughout the nation are urging congressman to op- pose the Fitzgerald compensation bill, whicr prohibits private concerns from writin compensation to injured workers in the District of Columbia.
 Business men favor the Underhill bill, which permits private concerns writing this insurance. These advo- cates declare that congress has no right to injure private business-the business of living off the injuries and misery of helpless workers.

their wives especially should take an active interest in poli- tics. They should organize politically and send more men to Congress who will help the little group or farmer-labor Senators and Congressmen and make 1t possible for them not only to expose the graft and corruption but also to demand that the criminals be placed be- hind the bars.
 1924 is Presidential year. Let the slogan be "Clean Out Wash ington!" It gives a great op- portunity, with all these scan dals exposed, for union men to arouse the unorganized work CTS and others who are inter ested in clean government.
 Workers should read the la Dor press. They should get their neighbors to subscribe for the labor newspapers. Carry the truth to the people. Knowledge Is power. When the people ; have the facts they will vote with the, farmers and workers.
 Together they. will form the great majority in every state and in the nation.
 Organize and educate. When the workers and farmers are sufficiently united leadership will develop. Let's get up early! Then and only then will Washington have thorough house-cleaning!
 If the scandals of 1924 do not wake up the people and arouse them to get busy, nothing ever will!
The Connecticut labor news., 1924-03-01

Oil scandals, Tea Pot Dome, the duplicate bond forgers, the Veterans Bureau, the Shipping Board pirates, the oeroplane grafters, harness robbers, the fur thieves, war frauds, extor- ton, defation, corruption, and bribery are a few of the inves- legations that are now going on in Washington. Space does not permit our listing them. Time does pesmft our giving details.
 In the midst of 1t all, with sufficient power to put them all in jail, sits Daugherty. He has done nothing to prosecute these plunderers. Nothing will be done as long as he sits in the cabinet. Grafters and crooks may we'll give a sign of relief when their cases are turned over to the so-called Depart ment of Justice.
 What Washington needs. is an attorney general who will clean house The cabinets, the bureaus, the bootlegging em- bassies, the committee rooms and government offices need renovating. The crooks and cooties of privilege must be beaten out of the easy chairs and department olunges. Strong disinfectants mus. tbe rsed for lobbyists. The social bloc must be segregated.
 Why does not Daugherty act? Why does he not arrest these crooks as he would ar rest the average citizen for committing minor ofense?

COTTON FUTURES
IN SLIGHT DECLINE
Yesterdays Sharp Rise
Brings Nervous Price
Changes in Trading.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, October 3.-The cot
ton market opened barely steady to-
day at decline of 10 to 23 points
and soon showed net losses of % to
AZ points. October sold off to 26.1S
and December 25.45 under week end
realizing and selling for a reaction
after yesterdays big advance. Fur
ther covering and some trade buying
caused slight rallies during the early
trading, but the tone of the market
was rather unsettled and the trade
seemed to be taking a more favorable
view of the weather outlook.
Telegrams received here from the
Southwest reported export demands
at higher basis. October contracts
here were relatively easy, but so far
as could be learned only II notices
were issued.
The early break was followed by
brisk rally on reports that export
ers were buying spot cotton at a
higher basis in the Southwest and a
private report estimating the crop at
only l1.5S4,000 bales. December ad-
vanced from 25.45 to 1851, or points
net higher, but offerings increased on
the advance and prices weaken ed
again under renewed realizing.
New Orleans Quotations.
= NEW ORLEANS, October 3.-The
cotton market opened unchanged, the
nearest months all showing first
sales at $3.50. Liverpool was better
than due just before the opening, but
broke sharply Immediately after.
Prices eased off right after the start
owing TO a generally rainless weather
map and October soon traded down
to $3.50. December to 25.40, and Janu-
ary to 25.45, or SO, 20 and Is points
down, from the opening levels.
The market then fiuctuated mar
rowly without definite trend. Fall
