Local Unionmen Say They
Favor Change In Wage Scale
Reduction Would Make Possible For Them Compete
Local Work Equally With Unionmen From Other
Cities = Phases Of Local Unemployment
In Building Trades

There is increasing sentiment among employed in
the building trades that action should be taken by the
respective unions to meet the competition of outside union
who into this field from other cities and work for
less pay per day.
The scale adopted by in the local unions of the
building trades happens especially the of the cpen-
ters to be higher than the scale of Philadelphia and
other cities.
1t is becoming felt with increasing acuteness that Phil
adepha union carpenters jobs the Mainland and
Atlantic City and work for 81 less per day and have been
getting the most of the work at these prices

fore reaching the markets.

Poultry and Dairy
Now Bring Profit

Atlanta. Ga.-Poultry raising and
dairying are attracting more atten-
ton in Georgia than ever before, and
profits from the Industries are in
fluencing more farmers to turn to
them as among the diversified "crops"
now so persistently recommended to
combat unstable agricultural condi-
tions due to adherence to one-crop
system, according to agricultural
agents of the Atlanta, Birmingham &
Coast railroad.
Poultry products in the United
States in one year were valued at ap-
proximately one billion dollars, and
of crops produced from soil only
three had a greater value, statistics
made public by the railroad show.
These were corn, cotton and hay. In
Minnesota eggs alone exceeded in
value the states wheat crop and oc-
cupy second place in crop production,
it was stated. Reports received from
Missouri show that the poultry indus
try has clipsed all other agricultural
activities in that state.

Henry Morgenthau, former ambassa-
dor to Turkey. "The pivotal center
of near eastern trade and commerce
has been moved from Turkey to
Greece" he said in an address to the
Near East Relief Committee in Wash
ington. Turkeys shortsighted ex-
pulsion of the Christians and Jews is
the cause for this commercial de-
bacle."
Mr.. Morgenthau painted gloomy
picture of the modern Turkey under
Kemal Pasha. He said that Turkish
industry and commerce had been so
greatly reduced that KemaPs republic
is threatened with becoming again a
nation of backward nomads.
Constantinople's famous harbor,
the Golden Horn, has been center
of world commerce since the days OF
the Emperor Constantine. Before
that, Athens had been the center OF
the world for 1000 years. Now
Athens is staging it's come back.
More than 100000 Greeks, ex-
PEELED from Turkey, have become an
economic asset of enormous value to
the land of their forefathers. Mr..
Morgenthau paid warm tribute to
the important part which American
philanthropy has played in this revl-
val of the glory that was Greece. The
former ambassador is now writing a
history of his work as head OF the
League of Nations Commission for
the rehabilitation of the Greek refu-
gees. He pleaded for continuance
of American support for the volun-
tary relief work which has been an
important adjunct of the GREGG ref
ugee development.
Malaria Conquest in Greece
American doctors and nurses have
added new laurels to their crown by
their CONQUEST of malaria at Corinth,
Greece.
The city of Corinth fills many
brilliant pages in the history OF
Greece. 1t had at its most flourish
ing period a population of 100000,
with more than 100000 slaves en-
ployed in it's merchant fleet and its
Mediterranean colonies. When, af-
ter innumerable vicissitudes, it fell
into the hands Of the Turks, their
devastating dominion reduced it to
a wretched village.
The present village of Corinth,
built since the destruction by earth
quake of the old town in 1858, had
pre-war population of 5000, and
was merely the western terminus Of
the canal, planned by Nero but not
finished until 1893. 1t was almost
uninhabitable because of mosquitoes
and consequent malaria. After the
Smyrna disaster the population was

LOSING ELOPERS LAUGH !
MICHAEL CUDAHY, HEIR TO
MILLIONS FAILS TO
GET BRIDE

Believing there are other tlsh IN
the sea, Michael Cudahy, grandson OF
the millionaire Chicago meat packer
who bore the same name, IS today
singing: "Ain't Coin to Elope NO
Mo. No Mo-" In another home in
California Marie Astaire, movie star,
laughs gayly when she thinks OF
Michael and says: Anyway, anyway
we had a good time trying to elope.
Young Michael has apparently been
doing his best to follow in the foot
steps of his father, whose colortul
and dramatic death thrilled the nation
a dozen years ago. But his fond
mother, Mrs. Jack Cudahy, has sue
ceeded in snatching him again from
the jaws of matrimony.
Grand Rush to Marry
Not so long ago Marie and Michael
met in Hollywood. 1t was the old
story-love at first sight. A few
weeks later the pair appeared at Los
Angeles for marriage license.
MichaePs mother learned of the
elopement. She grabbed her tele-
phone and by long distance calls
warned every sheriff, policeman and
county clerk in the state not to grant
them license.
To each she shouted: 'If you see
my wandering boy tonight lock him
up until l can get my hands on him. "
Meanwhile Marie and Michael were
dashing along.
Young Lover Locked Up
Everywhere they stopped they were
refused a license. Finally they
reached Santa Barbara. At the same
time police received word to arrest
them. So Michael spent the night in
iail, Marie was sent back home, and
Mrs. Cudahy started South for her
wandering lad.
Anyway, we had just lots of fun, "
the disappointed bride-to-be chuckles.
"Just wait Something'll happen.
Wait and see," says Michael.
So over the nations coffee cups
the turbulent affairs of Mikes mother
and her husband, the famous jack
Cudahy, are re-discussed. Jack shot
himself to death over financial affairs
after he had divorced and REMARKED
his wife.
