LABOR AUCTION IS
EXTREMELY HIGH
Children Bring Fancy Prices on
Block in France

st. Etienne, France. Dec. 26 (UP)
Little girl and boy shepherds and
stout farm laborers brought fancy
prices on the human auction block
today.
The annual farm labor auction.
held here in accordance with ancient
custom. illustrated forcibly the la
bor shortage in France. Only dog
en- farm laborers and shepherds were
put on the block. There we're eight
bidders for every one offered. Girl
shepherds, hardly more than -.
brought 1900 francs each for a
years labor, plus two new dresses.
Adult farm hands brought from H.
900 to $500 francs, with extra in
ducements.
Bid Vigorously
Excited peasants bid vigorously
against each other. sending prices
skyward. The recent tendency of
farm labor to move into the cities
has made The rural problem acute.
The auction presented the usual
colorful scene. From the highland
pastures and farms of the Auvergne,
the young shepherdesses. boy cattle
herders and bearded farm hands
came ready to step on the block.
Tradition permits that every year. on
the day after Christmas, the farm
workers who are dissatisfied with
their jobs may come to st. Etienne
and try their luck in the market.
The labor shortage brought farm
ers needing help in large numbers.
but the supply was far below the de-
mand.
Older than the abolished slave
markets of the southern states the
auction normally differs little from
the scenes that Harriet Beecher
Stowe pictured in her book. Excited
peasants, little bags of coins in their
hands, stand around talking ex-
citedly, pinching the biceps of the
farm hands as they size up the quail
ity OF the offerings.
The peasants buy the services of
the laborers for one year. and pay
in advance. The money ID held by
the auctioneer until the end of the
year. when it is turned over to the
laborer, minus a commission to the
auctioneer.
In recent years. since the labor
shortage, all sorts of extra induce
ments have been made. The bid
ders today shouted offers Of extra
holidays, meat twice day Instead of
once, an extra liter of wine . week,
an extra dress or suit of clothes or
even a share in the farm profits.
The erms of the auction provide
that the laborer Is to be given a
clean. dry. warm place to sleep, with
a new suit OF clothes for the men
and a dress for the girls.
Despite the lack of labor to be
auctioned. the farm hands made the
affair an annual fete, as usual. Flush
with years wages in their pockets.
they sing and dance in st. Etienne
this week. having their annual
spree. Every year romance buds
for some, Of the shepherd girls Or
boy herders and frequently a dozen
marriages result.

DYNASTIC PROBLEM
Up IN HUNGARY
Urged to Elect Foreign Prince
as King

Budapest, Hungary. Dec. 26 R-
Hungary's dynasttc controversy has
been revived and brought to fever
heat by publication of q Christmas
message from Lord Rothermere In
which the British publisher urged
the Hungarian people to elect some
foreign prince As their king, instead
Of a scion Of the house Of Hapsburg.
The message started discussion OF
dynastic problems throughout Hun
gary.
Tho legitimfsts, who are seeking
to place In the vacant throne the
Archduke Otto. son of Charles ~
who was deposed at the end Of the
World War. voiced prompt and un-
dying opposition to Lord Rother-
mere's suggestion. The message had
warned them that the election Of
Otto or any other Hapsburg would
nullify all Hungarian efforts to re-
wise the 1918 peace treaties. but
the legitimists said they would ig-
more that warning.
In the royalist newspaper Ujsag
tomorrow. Count julius Andrassy
will publish a statement declaring
that Otto would be the only occu-
pant of the throne acceptable to the
legitimists.
The statement will threaten open
warfare If the government selects a
foreign prince or any candidate out
side the Hapsburg family.
sisce the thirteenth century, the
count will say. the kings of Hungary
have not been elected. but havs
taken the throne by right Of success
sion. His statement continues.
whoever accepts a change in this
thousand year old tradition commits
q crime and does violence to the
memory Of the martyr, Emperor
Charles ~"
Among many government officials
there is a decided sentiment against
offering the crown to foreigner.
Yet these men recognize how hos
tile most other European goxern-
ments' are to the selection Of Il
Hapsburg. They therefore are sug-
costing that Admiral Horthy. who
has been regent Of the country since
March, 1920. might be crowned king
thus preventing the holy crown of
st. Stephan from being worn by 4
foreigner.
When the subject was last under
open discussion. Count stephen
Bethlen. the prime minister. was un.
derstood to favor Gra,i Duke Al
brecht. scion of the wealthiest
branch Of the Hapsburg family. It
was limited. however. in certain cir
cles today that the premier was now
inclined to favor Otto, who has just
reached the sixteen-year-old age Of
succession.
