Wife Seeks More
Table Money from
Hubby, Camden, n. ],

Camden. N. j., Mar. 9.-(AP)-
Suit to force a husband to pay more
table money" for his board was
argued today in the chancery court
here. The ease was regarded as
without precedent in this tribunal.
Mrs. Aida o. Smith, Palmyra, N.
j., complainant in the suit, testified
she demanded a minimum of $50
weekly from her husband, Walter
e. Smith, a druggist, employed at
Roebling, N. j. The husband testi-
fed his wife threatened to consider
him "only a boarder" If he fell be-
low her minimum. Smith declared
his wife owned their home and pos
sessed property.
II told ho:," he said, "if was
only boarder I would give her
only q boarder's board and cut the
allowance down to $40. She then
cut down my food, and I threatened
to reduce the allowance to IS. Then
she brought the case into court. In
every other respect she is an ideal
wife"
Vice Chancellor Leaning ordered
the case continued for a later hear
ing with the remark: Both Of you
need sense, more than anything
else"

Seek u. S. Membership
On League of Nations
Technical Committee

Geneva, Mar. 9.-(AP)-A move
toward disarmament has been made
calculated to assure American mem.
bership on the league of nations
technical committee, especially thu
military and naval committee, which
will advise with the preparatory
commission for disarmament con-
ference. The Indications were today
that the first meeting of the pre-
paratory commission, on which the
United States will be represented as
a full fiedged member, and which
was postponed on account of the
Russo-Swiss conflict, probably will
be held in May at Geneva.
The leagues permanent military
committee is limited in membership
to the states represented in the
council, and there was considerable
questioning here as to how to give
a voice on this committee to other
countries which have been invited
to participate in the preliminary dis
armament studies. These other ma
tons include the United States, Ger
many and Russia as non-members
of the league, and Bulgaria, Fin
land, Holland, Poland. Rumania and
Jugoslavia as members.
Great Britain sent a communica-
ton to the council suggesting that
in order to avoid misunderstanding
all the participants in the preliminary
stduies should be on equal footing
on the leagues technical commit
tees.

Admits Own Guilt,
Says Finn Innocent
In Ticket Conspiracy

Portland. Me-. Mar. 9.-(AP)-
1sadore Peters. 81, Of Roxbury,
Mass, admitted his own guilt, that
an innocent man. who had one dis
charged him, might not suffer, he
said, on the witness stand late to-
day. on a hearing on a motion for
a new trial for Maurice E. Finn of
Boston, convicted of conspiracy in
the Boston and Maine ticket case.
Peters told the court he had dealt
IN tickets as an accompiice of SAM
uel Slutsky. chief witness for the
state, during the entire time he hal
been employed at Firms labor agen-
cey. He said he had been discharged
because he refused to explain the
possession of tickets he had re-
deemed. He expressed the belief
that Finn knew nothing of the
fraudulent transactions in railroad
tickets.
The motion for a new trial was
taken under advisement by the court.

PASSAIC TEXTILE
STRIKERS STAGE
DEMONSTRATION

Passaic, N. j.. March 9-(AP)-
Unopposed by the handful of police
at Lodi, between 5000 and 1000 strik-
ing textile workers marched to the
plant of the United Piece Dye Works
at noon today and staged an orderly
demonstration as the workers left the
plant.
Before the strikers marched from
here, Is men who said they were en-
ployes of the Lodi plant attended a
meeting of strikers and said they had
struck for % percent wage increase.
Albert Weisbord, strike leader, who
organized the parade, made public a
letter he had sent to officials of the
plant demanding the wage increase
for the 1000 employees.
Weisbold said he acted on a re-
quest made yesterday by four repre-
sentatives of the United Piece Dye
Works employees. A letter was also
sent by Weisbord to the Dundee Tex
tile Company in Clifton. one third of
whose 500 employees are on strike,
asking a similar increase.
The marching strikers were met as
they entered Lodi by Chief of Police
Withee, who said they would not be
disturbed if they maintained order.
At the dive works the strikers split
into groups and surrounded the eight
entrances. When the workers left
for the day, there were a few cries
of "Scab!" but no disturbances. The
strikers claimed that between 300 and
400 of the workers had joined them.
The Botany Worsted Mills, one of
the largest affected by the strike,
will begin series of appeals to their
former employees tomorrow through
newspaper advertisements.
The first advertisement will assert
that reduction of wages was made
necessary last fall because of price
cuts by competitors, and that in jan
uary the situation was improving.
Then came along some outsiders
who said that everything was all
wrong. and have been trying to force
us to shut down the mills, make no
goods and pay no wages" the ad-
vertisement will say, warning that
the longer the strike continued the
less chance there will be for full
time operation.
