Two Marriages.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, September 17.-Ruth
Elder, Paris-bound aviatrix from
Dixie, today sought chance 70
prove to people I can fly an airplane
alone-that I'm no buffer or faker.
After revealing a double venture
into matrimony, and passing a physi'

license, the comedy 23-year-old flyer
from Lakeland, Fla, was determined
to qualify for her license To diSpel
any doubt as to her ability in the air
before her projected hop to Paris by
which she hopes to become the
Lindbergh of her sex.
In the midst of preparations for
her proposed take-off Monday morn
ing, the young aviatrix appeared at
the field wan and nervous, but seemed
determined to complete the trans
oceanic adventure in which ten per-
sons have disappeared.
She clarified her matrimonial status
further when she disclosed that Lyle
Womack, salesman, of Lakeland, Fla,
was her second husband. but wept
and pleaded that the first of the two
marriages be kept out of the papers
when she was asked If she was
widow or a Divorce.
American women believe that
married girls place is in the home
and not the cockpit of an airplane,"
she said tearfully. II don't want to
turn them against me to outrage their
belief Of the girls place in life. That
is why I evaded direct answer to the
first questions concerning my mar
riage."
Before her sister and other relatives
in the South had insisted she was mar
ried. she had insisted that she was
neither married nor engaged.

Former Union Lawyer
Is Accused at Trial

The federal governments case
against the International Association
of Journeymen Stone Cutters was
charged with being a frame-up yes
terday when Michael W. Mitchell of
indianapolis, president of the union,
accused Sidney A. Symes, of Mount
Vernon, former attorney of the
union, of altering an affidavit after
Mitchell signed his name to it.
The affidavit in question was one
drawn up in 1923 and purported that
union workers were not to work on
metropolitan jobs where the cast
stone used was not manufactured in
the metropolitan area. He said that
the clause was inserted after he had
put his name to it.
The government is seeking an in

unions from interfering" with con-
struction operations in the metropoli-
tan area where the cast stone used
was not manufactured in the same

When the mayor entered the place
and saw the Negroes seated quietly
at tables, he Immediately lodged a
protest against their presence and de-
manded that they be elected at once
This the management hesitated to do
but the democratic" mayor continued
his protestations. In an effort to pla-
cade him he was told that the Ne
groes in question were Brazilian citi-
zens of high standing in the commun-
ity, but this failed to satisfy "His
Honor"
Asked To Leave.
Later, in difference to the wishes of
the visiting mayor who had been
showered with compliments by Mus
solini and his fascist henchmen, the
management politely asked the Bra
zilians to leave the hall. They did so
at once.
AS the evening wore along the Ne
groes were permitted to return to the
cabaret, but Immediately upon their
reappearance Mayor Walker renewed
his protest, and failing to have them
ousted the second time, he left the
cabaret in disgust.

Chen Accuses Britain.

MOSCOW, U. S. S. R., Sept. 21.--
In an interview with a representative
of the international Glass War Pris-
oners' Aid, Eugene Chen stated that
the white terror is at present raging
in China where the ranks of the Com
munists are growing altho they as
well as all workers and peasants or
ganizations are ruthlessly prosecuted
Very probably, Chen said, Great
Britain and Japan will still more ac-
lively support Chang Tso-lin and
other reactionaries as Britain is par
ticularly interested in restoring "or-
der" in Shanghai and Kwantung.
The atrocities committed especially
by the demoralized bands of soldiers,
defy description. The political pris-
oners in the Chinese jails are treated
like ordinary criminals. Widows and
orphans, victims of the white terror,
viii die of hunger unless relief comes

FOR ALL OFFICERS

Elections for all Joint Board dele
gates, local officers and paid Joint

Joint Board, % East % st. Balloting

Calling upon all members of Locals

election, the Joint Board has issued
statement pointing out the past strug-
giles of the organization.
1t reads in part, as follows:
"In the years of 1928 and 1924 the
fur workers were confronted with the
same tragic conditions with which
they are confronted at this time. In
those years the same band who have
now organized the scab union had
held in their paws our union and its
membership. Then, just as now, their
strong-arm henchmen loarded over the
workers in the shops. Then, just as
now, the contractors tore the bread
out of the mouths of the fur workers.
Then also wages were slashed down
to the under level. Then, Just as now,
thousands of furriers were wandering
around in the market in search of
Jobs while hundreds of learners filled
the fur shops.
''In those years the left-wing of the
Furriers' Union called upon the down
trodden furriers and urged them to
organize themselves, to drive out the
gangstersand grafters from the union.
Already then the furriers knew that
the left-wing were their friends and
that the left-wing would liberate the
workers from their suffering.
Thanks to the fact that the fur
riers had organized themselves they
succeeded not only to drive out the
band of parasites but also enabled the
left-wing to build up the union and
increase the wages.
"The situation at the present time
is very much similar. Now also this
band of betrayers through their scab
union managed to plunge the thous-
ands of fur workers into unemploy-
ment, merciless exploitation, need and
hunger. These agents have made a
deal with the bosses and the contrac-

THERE is nothing between England

of good fellowship if we are to take
seriously the speeches made at ban
quets of the Sulgrave Institute and
at meeting of the English Speaking
Union. Nevertheless it is well to take
speeches of this sort with stiff pinch
of salt. The truth can be dragged out
by the scruff of the neck from be-
tween the lines of official statements
and news dispatches. Those who hunt
for the truth with an open mouth are
liable to get their throats clogged
with propaganda. A horse drinks
water thru gritted teeth. News should
be sifted thru skeptical screen.
