1t is unlawful for a woman to set
foot in Athos, Greece, where the
monks of the Greek Church live.
But as often happens. a young
woman disobeyed the law. She saw
monk coming down the path and
entered this building to escape
notice. She ran in az the Athos
door and about five minutes later
left by the only other door, lie back
one.
This woman claimed later that
before she left the building she en-

only.
Was she telling the truth? Is it
possible to enter every room once
in this fashion?

the sound of Dicks voice moaning
GLORY 49, Glory 1t kept repeat

Gloria's impulse was always to es-

She hated them with all her soul.
With sigh of relief she opened

Someone was coming up the walk.
In the light that streamed out from

it was Mother Gregory. Her face

Mother Gregory covered her face
with her large capable hands, and
began to cry.
"Oh, my dear Godr' she sobbed.
And the very voice of prayer was
in her tone.
Gloria watched her in surprised
silence. She wouldn't have believed
there was any tenderness or softness
in Mother Gregory. She had al.
ways thought that the love she had
for Dick was the grim kind that a
Spartan mother might have had for
her son.
Presently Mother Gregory dried
her eyes and started for the stairs.

WHITE SOUTH
SHOCKED BY
CONVICTION
Fright" to Murder Any
Negro In Danger

NEW ORLEANS-(FP)-For the
first time in the history Of the courts
of New Orleans a white man has been
found guilty of the murder of a Ne
gro. Southerners stand aghast at the
jury that dared render such a verdict.
About year ago Frank De Rocha.
a white blacksmith entered a street
car near the naval station with sew
eral companions after a night out.
In a rear seat were two peaceful Ne
gro citizens, Ernest and Joseph Bap-
tiste, on their way to work. De
Rocha, remarking that he felt 'like
killing a couple Of niggers this morn
ing" drew revolver and fired point
blank. Joseph Baptiste was killed at
the first shot. Ernest, the brother.
begged the white man not to shoot
again, when De Rocha fred again at
Ernest who died few hours later.
The states attorney asked for con-
viction without capital punishment.
Efforts are being made to appeal and
carry the case to the supreme court
to prevent a precedent that it is un-
safe for a white man to kill a Negro
in the south.

Professor Attacks Ban
on Teaching Evolution

Professor Fairchild Osborne, presi-
dent of the American Museum Of
Natural History made plea for a
more liberal attitude toward the teach
ing of evolution in the United States
before the convention of the Associa-
ton Of colleges and secondary schools
of the middle states and Maryland,
being held in New York.
He said the recent hysteria against
the teaching Of evolution was loss
to education and told OF his recent
journey thru Nebraska where even in
the state university "hush" is put
on the sound Of the word evolution.
In the public schools the word may
not be used at all. mo teacher in
the whole state Of Nebraska is free to
be sincere" he said.

BUILDING TRADES
UNIONS PAY NO
HEED TO BOSSES
4O-Hour Week Next
Step to Win

CHICAGO-FP)-Not even the
dignity of an official answer is accord
ed by the Chicago building trades
council to the resolutions adopted last
week by the conference in Chicago.
of the National Assn. of Building
Trades employers. The employers
resoluted against wage increases,
against the 4O-hour week, against the
union apprentice systems and against
alleged slowing up of work under I'M
ion rules, which in most cases safe
guard the quality and safety of con-
struction work
Wage increases in Chicago come in
spite of resolutions, federal statistics
show. Bricklayers have a scale of
$3.50 an hour compared with $1.25 in
1920 and SIS in 1913. Electrical work
ers show the same increases. Painters
show $3.50 for 1925, S125 for 1920 and
$.65 for 1913. Carpenters show SIPS,
$1.25 and Sos; plumbers $1.25, $125
and S.75 for the corresponding years.
At the same time several investiga-
tions have shown profits of material
firms and Of contractors rising out
of all proportion to the wage in
creases.
The 40-hour week is the next step
after the 44-hour week which is now
practically universal in the Chicago
building trades. Though no union in
the Chicago district has the 4O-hour
term it is being recognized, particularly
for painters, in a number of contracts
with employers elsewhere. With en-
ployers taking weekend vacations
from Friday noon to Tuesday morning
a 40-hour 5-day week for actual work
ers, who are producing more now
than ever before, will soon become
matter of course.
The union apprentice systems guar
antee adequately trained craftsmen.
The building trade schools maintained
by openshop employers to turn out
plasterers and plumbers in weeks
are ridiculed even by the bosses,
whose experience with them on the
job is Of the never-again variety.
THE association passing these reso-
lutions is a national organization"
says Secy. Conroy of the building
trades council, composed of both I'M.
ion and nonunion contractors. We
have found that our union work ad.
vances best by ignoring such find.

they have ever experienced.
What is this sltuation7
First, the biggest bituminous operat-
ors in western Pennsylvania-Mellon,
Berwind, Rockefeller and Schwab,
who signed and then tore up the Jack
sonville wage contract-have put
their mines on company UNION basis
during the past few months. One year
ago the western Pennsylvania field
asked the interstate commerce COM
mission to grant 1t lower freight rates
to the New England and upper lakes
market.
Later, Rep. Robinson of Kentucky,
a nonunion operator, was permitted
by the commissioner violation of
ordinary procedure-to joint the suit
with like demand for the nonunion
fields of Kentucky, West Virginia and
Virginia.
Slemp, Coolidges then secretary,
was Virginia operator in this"smoke-
less bituminous" group. The commits
sion in mid-September, granted lower
rates to market to the non-union fields,
and refused to take action on the west
ern Pennsylvania unionized field.
Now the case has been renewed
with demand for further reductions
for the Kentucky-Wes Virginia non
union field, and for a reduction in
rate for the western Pennsylvania
field in which company unions have
replaced regular U. M. w. A. recog-

Attorney Denounces
Horthy for Denial
of Counsel to Rakosi

BUDAPEST, Hungary, Nov. 30.-All
reports of the human treatment of the
revolutionary workers arrested in con-
nection with the Rakosi affair and
about the observation of the legal re-
gulations on the part of the authori-
ties, which have been spread by the
government, are pure lies. In order
to calm down the protests of the in
ternational working class the Bethlen
government published the deceptive
news that Comrade Rakosi had made
a statement to his lawyer to the effect
that he was not in the least tortured,
but on the contrary treated politely
and humanity.
In the telegram the name of some
lawyer, the alleged defender of Ra-
kosi, was mentioned. Now since the
Hungarian hangmen have showed
their true faces and have expressed
their intention to try the arrested
according to all rules of martial law,
the defender of Comrade Rakosi, the
lawyer DR.. Zoltan Lengyel Ga right
wing bourgeois adYocate) declares
in public in all bourgeois papers that
he had not yet seen or spoken to
Rakosi. He protestsragainst the fact
that the trial will take place without
he having been ablefto look into the
material and he brands the fact that
he is compelled tos defend a man.
whose accusation hebwill hear for the
first time in the trial.
From this can be seen clearly that
the Horthy bandits intend to hang
Rakosi and his comrades.
