Superstitions Lasting

The black cat superstition is d.
rect descendant of the days when
the cat was worshiped in Egypt.
Some years ago the swastlca swept
the country as lucky emblem. AS
n basic form of design, it was
known In the Orient thousands of
years ago, and recent excavations
have disclosed that 1t was similarly
used as a religious ornament by the
Mayas and lncas of Central and
South America hundreds of years
before Columbus discovered Amer
lea. AS a lucky emblem it was
based on oriental legends, where it
has played a part in religious wor-
ship for centuries.

10000 TRACTORS
LEAVE SEATTLE.
FOR RUSS FARMS
Business Jubilant Over
Trade Resumption

SEATTLE, Wash, Feb. 4.-Twelve
thousand tractors will be shipped thru
Seattle to Vladivostock, during the
month Of February. The Osaka Sho-
sen Kaisha Steamship Co. will load in
its vessels the entire cargo to Kobe,
Japan, and from there it will be ship
ped to Vladivostock according to an
nouncements made.
The local papers and particularly
the Seattle Daily Times, one of the
most conservative capitalist newspa-
pers, carried the news in big head
lines on the front page, quoting big
shipping interests on conditions in
the Soviet republic and the gigantic
trade that will be carried on between
America and the Soviet republic.
These shipping men say that Soviet
Russia will become tremendous pur-
chaser of American manufactured
goods and machinery and that Seattle
is destined to become the gateway to
the Soviet Union, The 10000 tract
ors are being shipped by the Ford
concern. The business elements Of

sumption of trade with Soviet Russia

bureau in the regular census years.
There was less fluctuation in en-
ployment from month to month in
1925 than in 1924. This shows that
factory employment is being tempo
rarily stabilized at level below 1923
when the average number employed
was S,76S,0OO and still further below
1920 when the average was $685., 900.
The year 1925 ended with $4,000
workers on factory payrolls. In Decem-
Der 1924 the number was 7,S40,000.
Thus factories were giving employ
ment to about 100000 more workers
in December 1925 than the previous
year. The department reports ,oper-
ations at 94e5 Of full-time with S5Ts
Of a normal full force Of employees. In
December 1924 it was 9295 of full-time
with $40 Of full force. A year ago,
however, December showed a consider
able gain in employment while in
employment while in 1925 the num-
Der on the payrolls in November re-

Roumanian Fascist
Assault Costa Foru

BUCHAREST Il. r. Ably Mai)
-Costa-Foru, the secretary of the
Roumanian league for human rights
became the victim of a shameful at
tack of fascist and police agents.
Costa-Foru, well-known Roumanian
writer and publisher Of the anti-fascist
daily Fakla has reused the hatred OF
the Roumanian rulers by the publica.
tion Of his booklet From the Rou-
manian Torture Chambers"
The fact that Henri Barbusse dur
ing his stay in Roumania, was a guest
Of Costa-Foru, Is another reason for
his persecution.
When Costa-Foru returned from
congress of the minority press in
Grosswardein, to Bucharest, his train
stopped in Klausenburg and he was
compelled to pass some time in the
waiting room OF the station there.
About 20 members OF the christian
league, a Roumanian fascist organiza.
tion, surrounded his table and one Of
them asked him whether he was
Costa-Foru. When he gave an affirm
ative answer, they began to beat him.
Altho he was covered with blood, the
fascists continued TO beat him. Costa,
Foru had a revolver with him, but, aa
he said later on, he did not want TO
use It. The police that witnessed the
scene, made no attempts to interfere.
Another witness OF the attack was the
former minister OF justice. Jon. T.
Florescu,slwho made no attempt to
top the fascists IN their attack.

COST or LIVING
is CLIMBING c,
FIGURES SHOW
House Rent Has Risen
83 Pct. Since 1913
By LELAND oLDs, Federated Press.

BY LELAND oLDS, Federated Press.
1t cost a wage earners family 21a
per cent more to live in December
than in June, 1925, and per cent
more than in December, 1924 accord
ing to the semi-annual report Of the
U. S. department of labor. The report
shows an increase of approximately
rs per cent in the cost of family bud
get compared with 1913.
Per Cent Rise over 1922.
The latest rise in the cost, Of living
began the latter half of 1924. Since
June of that year the total increase
amounts to just over 5 per cent. Over
June, 1922, when the lowest point
since the war was reached, Decem-
ber, 1925, shows an increase of Z per
cent. Workers should receive wages
at least z per cent above 1922 to give
them as much food, clothing, fuel, etc.
as in that year.
The increases in living cost in 1925
varied widely from city to city. The
largest increase was Sc per cent in
Jacksonville. Other cities above the
average were Scranton, 4.9 per cent,
Cincinnati 4.6 per cent, Boston "A per
cent, Savannah AZ per cent, Buffalo
39 per cent, and New York 3.S per
cent Pacific coast cities reported In
creases uniformly below the average
with Portland, Ore. 7-10 Of per cent,
Los Angeles II per cent, Seattle 2.S
per cent and San Francisco 2.9 per
cent. Memphis and New Orleans also
showed slight increases with IA per
cent and 1,9 per cent.
The cost of living for the country
as a whole has fallen about 11.2 per
cent since December, 1920, when 1t
stood just 100 per cent over pre-war'
The department in its figures shows
an average decrease of 17.8 per cent
from June, 1920. But the use of this
June peak, 1855 per cent above pre-
war, for wage comparisons is unfair
because wage negotiations and adjust
ments in 1920 were not influenced by
that figure. Thus the U. S. railroad
labor board, in its July, 1920, deci'
sion establishing the highest level OF
wages, assumes an increase of 100 per
cent over pre-war in the cost of living
Rents 80 Per Cent over 1918.
The department shows present in
creases over pre-war in various items
of a workers family budget as fol-
lows: food $3.50 higher; clothing
69.49o; housing 67.19o; fuel and light
S6.9Go; house furnishings 114.3%, and
miscellaneous items 1O3.5qo. The most
important reduction in the cost of
living since 1920 has been at the ex-
pense of the producers of food.
Grave doubt has been cast upon the
departments figures for increases in
the cost of housing. In 1928 the sug-
gestion came from Washington that
the average included other than work
ingmen's quarters and that the real
figure for the increase in worker rents
should be nearer 1000. Statements
from Babson's statistical organization
and an original investigation by the
New York Central shopmen have con-
frmed this criticism.
The real increase in the cost Of
living since. 1913 including a fair
figure for increased rents would pro-
badly be nearer S3% than the 1870
reported.
