The golden bowl, given on the quar-

pressed hope for the fiftieth anniver-
Sary of Mr.. Noyes' presidency. Both

having served faithfully the great and
righteous cause of truth in news. and

Times Pays High Tribute.
The chief executive of an organi-

membranes with visible emotion, re-
marking that, as tokens of his serv-

would henceforth be his most cherish
ed possessions.

For citizens actuated by this kind
of public spirit we have no fixed

Their titles and decorations, as a

ANT|-PAY RISE PLOT
OVER i. S. ALLEGED
Painters Union Organizer
Asserts D. c. Employers Use
i Plan Found Elsewhere.

Returning after an absence of a
week, William J. Gallagher, national
organizer of the Painters and Paper
hangers Union. stated today that in.
vestigations on his trip and other in
formation received by him indicate
that there is concerted action
throughout the country to prevent
increased wages.
Mr.. Gallagher reported that in
Shenandoah, Pa, where there is a
painters strike, the master aSSocia.
tions are being controlled by a fair
wage committee similar to the one in
Washington. He said that he has re-
ports from master associations in sew.
eral other large cities which state
that they have been approached by
similar committees with a view to in
f1uencing them in keeping down
wages. InaSmuCh as this is a new
procedure and is simultaneous in sew
eral cities, Mr.. Gallagher states that
1t proves the suspected concerted
movement against increased wages
throughout the country.
Agreement Now Remote.
With the refusal of the Master
Painters Association to consider the
compromise plan suggested. and a
definite stand against increased wages
Teaff1rmed by them. a settlement for
the present strike, which seemed
highly probable yesterday. is now
considered remote
Tbe compromise proposed a four
year contract. This contract provided
that the union men should go to work
al SS day until June /, after which
they were to get $3.50 per day until
June !. 1926. Following that they
were to receive SO a day for three
years. There was only one dissenting
vote against the proposal not to con-
slider this settlement.
The union painters are now redou-
bling their efforts to tie up construc-
uon where non-union painters are en-
ployed. Besides several jobs they
nave already, by means of their own
union painting and paperhanging jobs,
ofhclalS of the union state today that
they have received five other jobs, one
of which calls for work on the Cham
Der of Commerce of the United States
Building. William T. Gallagher will
now assume absolute charge of every
move the union painters make.
Wage Statistics Gathered.
The Central Labor, Union, in its eff
forts TO start its campaign against the
open shop and non-union labor, com
pleted a survey today which shows
that they have Ga, 900 members in this
city who receive in wages every six
days S1,956,0 The building trade
mechanics receive every six days
S640.0O0.

Money Subscribed

No,v Nearly Half

That the fishing fund is growing in
more ways than one is evidenced by
the fact that subscriptions are now
being received from the outlying
districts surrounding Washington.
More subscriptions have been re-
ceived from Virginia than from
MARYLAND, but it is hoped that the
nearby residents in the latter State
will soon follow the example set by
Virginia.
The fund has now almost reached
the halfway mark of $500, as $1,000
is the amount tentatively set for the
purchase of wire screens. Col Sher-
riH has ordered the work started and
before the wire screens are ready to
put in position, it is believed the fund
will be subscribed.

with an eye to the public benefit"
In connection with the metropolis
tan newspapers comment that there
is no fixed system of recognition in
this country for public service of
the sort performed by the president
of the Associated Press. it is inter
esting to recall that in recognition of
the international public service of the
organization and of its president dur
ing the World War the French gov
ernment several years ago made Mr..
Noyes an officer of the Legion of
Honor.

The following is quoted from the
title page of the testimonial volume
presented to Mr.. Noyes:
Those who have been associated
with him in the responsibility of ad-
ministering the affairs of the body
feeling that they have had exceptional
opportunity to appraise his worth, seek
to testify of their admiration and af-
fection. His unflagging energy, clarity
of vision, abiding sense of justice and
firm determination to maintain the
highest standards of the service have

And, If human nature remains the
same, there will be many oldsters who

John Patterson, boss of the big cir

many of his animals are just like
folks" For instance, last November
one of his II baby elephants threw it's
trunk in the air and refused TO eat
any more boiled rice because some
scamp" to quote Mr.. Patterson, put
pepper in 1t.
Then Big Ben, handsomest of the
polar bears, took his turn at turning
up his black nose on bananas. With
out any apparent reason, he suddenly
gave the go-by to anything that even
looked like a banana. 1t took me a
week to solve the mystery.
"A large hippodrome track had been
built in our quarters at Bridgeport,
Conn, to house the $50 horses which
are now being presented in the equine
ballet. This meant the shifting of the
polar bear families, so that only a
thin partition separated them from
the paint shop. In this shop hun
dreds of pounds of gold leaf and gold
paint were used to decorate the floats
for the circus parade.
Nov, as you know, gold paint IS
made of what is called banana oil.
Big Ben simply had got fed up on
the smell of that oil He had the
painters collie. While he is recuperat-
ing he is favoring fish and cod liver
