Invention of Armored Car At
tributed to Him.

PARIS. August 3 GF>.-News that
tanks are beginning to play more
important role in the Moroccan war
fare has led one student of history
and Voltaire to declare that Noltaire
was the real inventor of the armored
tank.
According to this claiment. Voltare
announced the invention about 1855.
of the "Assyriarn Chariot" which was
armed like the modern tank. With
this invention Noltaire proclaimed
that he could crush the armies Of
Frederick The Great, then waging the

lieu, however. turned down the In
vention and Noltaire in 1870, offered
1t to Czarina Catherine of Russia. who
was then engaged in war with the
Turks.
Catherine ordered a pair of the
tanks, but later informed Noltaire
that they were useless except against
troops in massed ranks. as she per
sonally had seen them tested.

Gains In Pay Rolls Indicate Upward

By International Labor News Service
 Albany, N. Y, Feb. 7.-The renewed upward swing of business was evident in December's increase in industrial activity. Factory payro11s>of New York state were 5 per cent. higher than in November. Part of this gain appeared because the previous months reports had included Armistice Day. But the rise was important, as the end of over time in some lines which supply the Christmas trade ordinarily tends to send payrolls lower in December.
 This statement was issued by In dustrial Commissioner James A. Ham i1ton of the State Department of Labor. It is based on reports from a representative , list of manufacturers who employ half million workers or about 40 per cent. of the factory work CTS of the state.

 Declaring that an exhaustive inves tigation conducted in North Carolina by Gilbert E. Hyatt of Labor's staff gives convincing proof that the League" was organized by agents of the Southern cotton mills and is being financed by the same interests, Labor asks:
 "Will Congress sit calmly by and per init this great fraud to be perpe- trated?
 Congress is responsible for sub mitting the amendment to the legisla- lures. It should not permit it's work to be nulli6ed by the lying propaganda of the mill interests.
