LABORERS TIE-UP
ALL cleveland
BUILDING JOBS
Workers Confident They
Will Win Strike

CLEVELAND-(FP)-For the first
time in the history of the American
labor movement a general strike of
building laborers has brought com
plete shutdown of all building opera
lions. This is the situation in Cleve-
land where 5000 building laborers
went on strike March 1 for 81 an
hour. Hitherto building laborers have
struck on isolated jobs, or in conjunc-
tion with other building trades, but
never has a single-handed strike been
effective enough to close down all big
building operations.
Demands have been granted for
1900 laborers on Independent jobs
but the big contracting companies held
out. AS result the Cleveland Build
ers Supply Co., operating a score of
yards, docks, warehouses and offices,
has closed down.
Cleveland bankers are losing $780,
900 day by waving interest due from
borrowers on struck jobs. In addi-
ton fat profits, estimated in the mid
lions, are lost by contractors. The
strikers and affiliated building crafts
are not worrying about the wages they
are losing"
"The work now tied up will have
to be completed sometime" they say.
1.-THE money the men might now be
earning will be paid to them when
work is resumed. The men are not
actually losing anything. There will
be just as much building, but it is be-
ing put off until the laborers get what
they ought to have. We are used to
going without wages. The bankers
are not"

There is nothing very beautiful

/ like it's spiny, struggling branches,
its slender, shiny leaves ana the
golden color Of its inner bark. l
like its strange fruits and the way
it forms hedges around old George
town gardens.
In the Halloween season Wash
ington children go up to the ola
Naval Observatory site, where there
is still stand of Usage orange, to
get its curious fruits.
Very strange. indeed are the
.,oranges'-twice the size of any
ordinary orange and very nubbiy.
Indeed, this fruit is really a com
mound fruit, composed of many little
fr,litlets that have united. This Is a
characteristic of all the mulberry
family, to which the Usage orange
belongs. The same type of fruit IS
found in mulberry and breadfrult'
But. alas! the Usage orange is quite
inedible; its only use is as table
decoration;. it will last most OF the
Winter in a bowl. The children use
them to pelt each other In mock
battles.
Although it acts so like native,
the Usage orange comes from the
other side of the Mississippi-from
Missouri, Arkansas and some other
states. Early in the history OF ex-
ploration, 1t struck the attention or
the French voyagers, who brought
it back East, and it has come gradu-
ally into cultivation. 1t grows as
high as go feet in the Southwest. but
here we use it only. as a hedge. which

". BURGESS

scuttle about Every once in a while
there would be a fight. Something
unseen by Danny frightened them, and
the way they all scuttled for their
holes was a sight to see. Each one
scuttled for the nearest hole, whether
1t belonged to him or not. The result
was that when the owner of the hole
arrived and found somebody else in
there he tried to pull the latter out.
Like all the rest of the crabs Danny
had seen, these ran sidewise. As
soon as all was quiet out they all
came once more.
Their eyes were on little stalks and
those stalks were movable. They
seemed to be very suspicious and they
were forever moving their eyes about.
1t was funny enough.
There was no one there to tell
Danny what kind Of crabs these were.
They were Fiddler Crabs. A Fiddler
Crab with the big claws is Mr.. Fiddler.
The one with the two pinching claws
small is Mrs. Fiddler. Danny was In
the middle of a Fiddler Crab town.
Such a sight as it was when all the
crabs were QUIT And it was an even
greater sight when he appeared in
their midst and suddenly sent them
scuttling to their holes. Danny was
too much taken with watching the
crabs to notice their holes. Had he
noticed them, he would have discover
ed that many of them were arched
over. The arches were built OF mud
by the crabs.
'sWeIl." said Danny on his way
home. al don't believe I'll ever see as
funnv crabs as those fellows with the
single big claws" But in this Danny
was mistaken.

There is the constant fight to get

What Tomorrow Means to You
BY MARY BLAKE.

TomorroW's planetary aspects are
excellent and continue so until after
dusk, when they assume an adverse
character. 1t is the appointed time
for putting into effect those plans or
changes that you have contemplated
for some time, as there Is present the
sense of courage. optimism and ener-
gy. In your work at this time you will
experience a force that will carry you
on over difficulties and troubles; a
restless energy that will enable you
to do much and fear nothing. In the
evening the signs are ominous, and
relax and to seek some recreation that
will distract your thoughts from the
efforts of the day.
Children born tomorrow will not ee-
cape all the ailments Of infancy, but
they will be less subject to them than
the average child. Great care must
be exercised just prior to adolescence,
with one or more serious illness that
as at that time they are threatened
will exact much attention and cause
alarm. Their characters will be
rather weak, and they will need a lot
of "jacking-up," in a spiritual way,
in order to give them determination
and resolution. They will not be over
studious or ambitious, win be indiffer-
ent to externals and rather disposed
to fly in the face of convention, where
their own wishes and desires are con-
cerned.
If tomorrow is your birthday, you
possess an adventurous disposition
and love travel. You are not q gam
bier in the general acceptance Of the
term, but are always willing to gam
BILE with your LIES chances. The
signs denote that you are robust and
vigorous and very fond OF athletic
sports, in which you should excel.
You are very independent, quite In
tellectual and self-suf1lcient. You are
never satisfied to be one OF crowd,
but always aim to assume q leading
role, and are never ayerse to shining
in the limelight.
Morally and physically you are
the drop of the hat for what you con-
slider right. You never yield q point
