amid the swarms Of ordinary folk.
So the 150-foot police boat Macon

committee.
Since that time the Macon has
carried ashore such great visitors as

CAMDEN, N. j., Nov. 3.-The
Arabian Nights story of the prince
who left his wealth after dark and
went adventuring among The com
mon folk has a counterpart here in
princess who sought experience in
blue apron.
She is only the daughter of a
canned soup king, but her father
rules over a fortune of from $40,-
900 900 to $4,000, 900 and she is the
heiress apparent.
When the annoying genii OF an
inquisitive public broke the spell,
the princess was having a beauti-
full time peeling tomatoes. in the soup
factory.
Princess Elinor Dorrance, she is,
daughter of DR.. John T. Torrance,
president Of the Campbell soup COM
and railroads and a member Of
twenty-three clubs, mostly exclusive
ones. She came back just recently
after a year of study at the Sor
bonnie in Paris, and looking around
for occupation she. hit upon the
factory girl idea. If the son Of a
railroad president can drive spikes
on a section gang, why can't girl
also learn big business from the
ground floor?
When one is 1S, pretty and rich,
there's little she should not be able
to do. And if it is appropriate for
girl to spend hours at teas, dances,
dog shows and other elaborate idle
ness. why not take a fling at work?
Well, it is difficult, Elinor found
out. People had to intrude. They
talked a great deal more over her
earning 80 cents an hour than she
could make them say at the most
lavish expenditure.
Elinor punched the time clock just
as any other factory girl, hours be-
fore her father drove up TO the plant
office in his car. She planned a
mato peeling department to the
cashiers cage and on to per-
manent place on the advertising
staff. The other girls didn't know
her from the mo commonplace
Lizzie Smith. Then it came out that
she was the daughter of the big
boss.

NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-Electric

Williams pointed out that in les

Thomas Alva Edison opened his frs,
little electric generating station OF
Pearl St. iD New York City, ha
grown to what is in many respects
the greatest industry in America.
During the first year of America s
first electrical generating station,
he said, there were seventy-eight
employees in this industry and the
total annual pay roll was II 900; to
day more than 100000 men and
women are employed in the electrical
central stations alone, and un.
doubtedly more than a million men
and women are engaged in the en-
tire industry. During the first year
of the operation of Mr.. Edisons
original station the company served
20S customers; today the combined

Of the cases entrance to rooms hous-
ing safes was obtained through sky
lights.
Using a skylight to gain entrance
to the c. c.. Gaussin drug store. 1901
w. Morris ST., yeggmen blew the
door off a small safe and escaped
with 5000 in cash and between $500
and $500 in American Railway Elk
press money orders.
Gaussin told Motorpolicemen Fin
ney and Wachstetter that he closed
the store at 10 o'clock Tuesday night
and discovered the theft when he
opened at Z a. m. today.
An unlocked safe greeted the
yeggmen who entered the combina
ton laundry of Geyer, caldwell &
Fry, at 1412 Cornell Ave-, Tuesday
night. Entrance to the place was
gained through a skylight and the
contents of the safe and twelve
shirts were taken. Police were un-
able to learn how much money was
stolen.
Apparently frightened away, yegg-
men failed to obtain 800 in a safe
at the Office of the Muesing- Merrick
Coal Company, 1880 Brookville Rd.
Two handles on the safe door were
battered off and a little more work
would have given access to the
money. Entrance was gained by
breaking a rear door of the office
building and the glass of another
door leading into the room where
the safe Is located.
For the second time in four days,
the filing station of the Great West
ern Oil Company, 1880 Speedway Rd..
was looted Tuesday night, when
twenty-three gallons of gasoline were
stolen after two pumps were
smashed. Last SATURDAY night the
pumps were put out of commission
and seventy-two gallons of gasoline
and eight gallons of oil stolen.

ITALIANS PREPARE

Prohibition Makes InroadS in

Bv United Press
MILAN, Italy, Nov. 3.-Affected

which has dealt telling blow to the

vets have organized to protect the
fiourishing Italian brands which are
known the world over The organ
iZation is headed by Professor G..

Italian vets are now preparing to

and to present to the Premier the
problems connected with their or
ganization.
The conference marks a renewal of
the war that the vets are initiating
against the drys' educational prohi-
bition campaigns in Europe. The
wine and liquor industries in Italy
! are Of great Importance to the eco
nomical wealth of the country.
Prohibition would be harder blow
than in the United States, as wine is
a basic industry in Italy. 1t would
mean laying off of thousands Of
workers and the loss of millions an
nually TO the government. For this
reason, prohibitionists have never
gained much favor in Italy. The ap
peals Of European drys have been

! ured in many spectacular labor strug-
giles, eliminating in the great Dublin
lockout of 1913, when the Dublin en-
ployers decided to crush the union by
refusing employment to any worker
who did not tear up his card in the
l. T. and G. w. U. The answer of
the workers to this impudent demand
was defiance.
The strike was not successful or,
rather, the lockout was. The men
went back under whatever conditions
they could secure. The employers
were jubilant. Jim Larkin went to
the United States on a speaking tour
and was not able to return for eight
and a half years, very eVentful years.
In the meantime the Irish rebellion
had taken place, and James Connolly,
secretary of the Irish Transport and
General Workers Union, as well as
the leading exponent of Marxism in
ireland, if not in Great Britain, fell
before a British firing squad during
the regime of the liberal Asquith,
whose cabinet included Mr.. Arthur
Henderson, socialist. Henderson did
not move finger to save a man whom
he once called his comrade in the in
ternational army of labor.
William O'Brien, co-worker with
Connolly in the socialist movement in
Ireland in its infancy, told me the
story of the unions struggles after
