But "Mr. and Mrs. ]. Johnson

Quebec, Aug. 21 P}-Mr. and Mrs. Irving Berlin today sought refuge from the glare of publicity at the summer home of Max Winslow in the Thousand Islands after failing to achieve anonymity as MT. and Mrs. J. Johnson" on the passenger list of the steamer Montnairn, from Glas- gow.
 The song writer and the disown- ed daughter of Clarence Mackay, president of the Postal Telegraph company, were greeted at the pier by three neWspapermen on their ar rival yesterday.
 Friends had expected them on the liner Homeric, it having been re- ported that they were coming home from a Paris honeymoon so their first born would arrive on American soil. Mrs. Berlin, however. denied this in Paris.
 MT. Berlin told newspapernlen that i've are returning to America because it is our home and we hope the time has come when we will be allowed to enjoy the beautiful essen tial of a home-privacy. The only question concerning me, in which the public might be interested, is answered when I say I am going to begin work on a new show"
 The couple left the pier in a taxi cab, then changed to a closed car, which was identified as Berlin's own car from New York, which took them to the Winslow home. IL is be- lieved that they expect to spend a

 Old Virginia homesteads in which were born and reared the makers of Virginia and the United States stand today, mute evidence of the simpli- city and genteel dignity which sur rounded those men and women pio- neers.
 Just as the cradle of America has often been said to have been at Jamestown, so the oldest mansions in Virginia are to be found there. And extending slowly, as did these early settlers over Virginia and the rest of the country, these palatial homes dotted the state. Naturally, this expanding movement followed the rivers, and so most of Virginia S Colonial residences are to be found close by the banks of the York, James, the Potomac and the Rapa- hammock rivers.

ARTISTS MAVERICK
 LURES THOUSANDS
WoodStoCk'S Annual Festival
 Draws Varied Crowds

Woodstock, N. Y, Aug. q Pl- The artists of the east held carnival today. This was the day of the Maverick, the annual costume fes- tival of the Woodstock artists. known to painters, musicians, writers, actors and other servants of all the seven arts throughout the country.
 The carnival began yesterday, but by midnight, with several thousand gathered in this valley in the Cats kills, it was but well under way and at dawn the end was not in sight.
 The festival is called the Maverick and, in fact, all brands" were ta- boo. Academicians whose paintings hang in the great galleries of the world mingled and danced with painters whose futuristic offerings have never been seen outside their attic studios. Members of famous symphony orchestras argued fierce Iy about counterpoint and other mysteries of their art with jazz ad- diets who only know music as something that comes out of a saXo- phone with a derby stuck over its mouth. And then mingling in the throng, all costumed in colors the rainbow never saw, were dozens Of real artists models.
 Yf,1If C around, looked on and gasped. AS the night deepened and the gaiety grew, friends were separated and re- unions was a chance seldom to be realized. The party reached fever heat and the quiet hills where Kip Van Wrinkle slept witnessed wild whirl of color and sound.
 In line hundred campf1res gleamed on brightly colored figures dancing on the grass. In a great hall tightly packed scores danced and shouted and the unknown trod on the toes of the famous with great abandon.
 Among the crowd were such per sons as Clarence Randolph, CO., author of Rain; Robert Chanler, painter and former husband of Lima Cavalieri; Ben Hecht, Chicago nov clist; Allen Dean Cochran, landscape painter, of Cincinnati; Professor J. K, ShotweH of Columbia university and Pamela Winton-Brown, widely known painter of miniatures.
 During the evening there was an entertainment in the theater, where tier upon tier of seats slant upward in what was once the wall of a quarry, with the stage in the bot tom. But the audience by that time was so imbued with the spirit of the festival that it seemed more inter- ested in itsel mthan the actors and was able to take its entertainment or leave it alone. One number that received thunderous applause was solo dance by Ruth Schrader, a dancer known to New York audi ences for her grace and fire.
 But no entertainment, no four walls any where could hold the throng long, it wandered. laughing, cheering, nymphs and dryads run ming through mountain scenery in search of pan. Through it all stroIled Hervey White, sponsor Of the Maverick, novelist a smiling cen- tral figure among the artists of every kind that spend their summers hare He has built up in his one yearly festival an enterprise with a gate" of which many struggling boxing promoter might well be proud.

"The Red Army Jubilee" Voroshi-
loft said, Comedies with the noise of

say that the workmen of the Soviet

Washington Conference Failure.
Voroshiloff cited the proposed Unit
ed States appropriation of $SO2,OO0,O 900
for naval expenditures as proof of
Americas insincerity to disarm and as
indicating the failure of the Washing

off recommended the militarization of
all high schools.
In his speech on the eighth ami
versary of the formation of the army
of the workers and farmers govern

Consolidated Cigar will turn out about
S5O,OOO,000 cigars this year. Large
quantity production is made possible
by the use of machinery. The COM
pany now has 1900 machines in use,

Census bureau statistics show the
steady decline in the number of work
ers engaged in the industry and in the
share which they receive of the value
produced. Between 1914 and 1923 the
number Of wage earners in the cigar
and cigaret industry declined from
$4,000 to 100000 tho the production
Of cigars nearly held it's own while the
production of cigarets increased five

number Of workers fell 1879, the total
paid in wages increased $50 but the
value produced by the industry in
creased 1857. The workers share of
the value produced fell from 3795 in
1914 to 249S in 1923.
The Cigarmakers' International un-
ion reflects this change In a decline
in membership from 80, 400 in 1915 to

Senate WAR ON
ITALIAN DEBT
PACT OPENS UP
Relieve Farmers Dis
tress First, Says HOweH
Especial to Tho Daily WOrkorl


WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-opposl-
ton to the italian debt settlement
negotiated by Melton, Hoover, Kellogg
and Smoot has grown rapidly in the
past few weeks. Smoot, chairman OF
the senate finance committee, now Is
doubtful of his ability to force thru
the scheme. Sen. Howell Of Nebraska,
leading the opposition In the senate
on this issue declares that the people
OF the United States will not tolerate
il. He promises to make a long fight
on the Italian deal when Smoot brings
it before the senate. Smoot is so fully
aware Of the difficulty ahead that he
has postponed all consideration Of the
Italian settlement until he shall have
secured a vote on the Belgian, the
Roumanian, the Checho-SloVakian and
the other pending debt contracts which
are less bountlful in their generosity.
Howells attitude is one of refusal
to agree to cancellation of the war
debts until something shall have been
done by the government of the I'm
tied States to relieve the economic
distress of the farmers. He refuses
to see any need for presenting $780,
0OO,O 900 to Mussolinis government. He
argues that the terms granted by
Mellon and Smoot to the British we're
liberal enough The eleven debt set
elements thus far signed, he says, in
volve cancellation Of $4,000, 100000
legally due the American treasury.
Howell will ask the senate to repudi-
ate this action by it's debt commission,
because congress never authorized
any such cancellation.
Only a few senators agree with Ho-
well in his economic attitude toward
the Italian settlement. A large majo-
rity of the regular republicans and at
least minority of the democrats
would vote for ratification if that
were the only thing involved. But the
political dynamite in voting to give
$4,000 100000 to Mussolini is another
matter. All over the country resolu-
lions have been adopted calling at
tention to the fascist terror in Italy.
The massacre of the free masons in
Florence by the black shirts is one Of
the incidents that is playing big part
in the opposition. Destruction of
Italian trade unionism, Italian coop
eratives and Italian rural credit socie-
ties-the latter almost exclusively built
by catholic workmen and farmers
have been talked over in almost every
voting precinct. The recent sword
rafting by Mussolini, directed at
Austria and Germany, has created
new distrust of the debt settlement
pact. Progressives in Congress say
that America must now choose wheth-
er it shall help Mussolini to establish
a bank credit on which he can prepare
for a new war.
Smoot, nevertheless, refuses to ad-
NIT that he is beaten. He says he will
bring the Italian settlement up for a
vote before congress adjourns. He
counts on strong democratic backing.
