BULLETIN.

WASHINGTON, Dec. "A mild
protest against the wholesale firing
of navy yard workers, not protested
in the interests of the workers but
because in the action "the govern
ment was setting a bad example to
the nation" was made today to
Hoover by Robert Wagner, alleged
liberal senator of New York.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. with
the announcement that over 1000
workers at the navy yard in Brook
lyn, N. Y, are scheduled to be laid
off by Jan. 81, comes the lay-off
of several hundred men at the
Philadelphia navy yard in the last
few months, and the probable lay
off of MANY mere navy yard work
ers in the near future.
The lay-offs in the yard are the
result of the fact that scores of
huge ships being constructed for
use in the coming imperialist war
are being built in the shipyards
owned by private interests, whose
lobbyists in Washington, and whose
close connections with the navy de-
department officials has led to their
receiving the contracts for construc-
tion of the cruisers designed to
slaughter workers in the coming
war.
AS the lay-offs continue and the
workers conditions in the yard con-
tinue to grow worse daily, the men
in the yard are becoming more and
more disgusted with the reactionary
A. F. of L. misleaders of the Ma
chinists Union and the A. F. of l..
Metal Trades Department in par
ticular, who have pursued a policy
of class collaboration with the navy
department, boasting Of their close
friendship with the admifals and
leading naval jingoists, while per-
mitting the navy yard workers to
get the dirty end of things.

are being laid eff according to a

, The note itself, with it's inno-
cent sounding phraseology, is
to be understood more from the
background of the Stimson
statement and the inspired
stories of the capitalist report
ers, as to what the United
States means to do. The fruit
of intense secret diplomatic
maneuvers for days with what
Stimson calls the civilized"
namely the capitalist world,
Stimson's statement declares
for arbitration" of the dispute
instead of direct negotiations
between the Soviet Government
and China, in an effort to have
an imperialist finger in the pie,
and of course by this very ac-
ton, proposing that it be the
finger, nay, the whole arm, Of
the United States.
The United States government.
through Stimson, says that "the
causes of the conflict are in dispute"
brass-faced lie, since none knows
better than Stimson who melted the
Marking government to seize the
Chinese Eastern Railway last July,
that that seizure and the continued
refusal of the Nanking government
which is bossed by the American
State Department through American
advisers" at Nanking, to settle the
dispute by direct negotiations since
then, have caused the later conflict.
The accounts are contradictory"
says Stimson, who rushes to the aid
of the Marking lackeys of Wall
Street, only when the Soviet Union,
after six months of suffering inva
sions by Russian white guards and
Chinese militarists, have struck a
punitive blow at the invaders of
Soviet territory and smashed the
kennel of imperialist bloodhounds in
Manchuria.
Stimson's note, written with the
knowledge that direct negotiations
are now going on at Harbarovsk on
Soviet soil between duly authorized
delegates of the Mukden govern
ment and the Soviet government,
leaves these negotiations without
recognition, and speaks hypocritical-
ly of mo effective steps having been
taken by the Chinese and Russian
government" looking to settlement

PARIS ID EXPAND
 ANIMAL CEMETERY
Cats and Dogs Lie in Most
 Beautiful Burying Place

Paris. Nay IT. (UP)-The Cat and Dog Cemetery of Paris, known as the most beautiful burial place in the world for animals, is to be enlarged. The desire of many French people to inter their pets in a manner befitting beloved one has crowded the graveyard with mausoleu ums, monuments and tomb- stones until expansion has become necessary.
 This cemetery, which was found- ed 29 years ago. is located on a little island on the Seine, just out side the gates of Paris. It has its caretakers who tend the perpetual plots, keep the tomb-stones and monuments clean and who dig the graves. They live in little house on one side of the graveyard. Here also may be found catalogues of sculptured monuments and stone vaults.
 A burial at this pet cemetery, ale though simple and without benefit of clergy. is always impressive. There is no music. no graveside eulogy. There is only the simple ceremony of solemnly lowering 8 tiny coffin. containing the remains of Siamese cat or French poodle. into a grave while the be- reaved master looks solemnly on. l Although many of the animals are buried in zinc collins, covered

 AMERICAN ANTIQUES
Prove Turn About Is Fair Play and Start Buying Colonial
 Furniture.

Paris, May IT (UP)-me F'ench are going in for American antiques this year. The furniture ot the Elm pire and Directoire periods of France is now being replaced in many homes by the bric-a-brac salvaged from Colonial mansions of the United States.
 Practically every transatlantic liner which touches France now carries heavy cargo of chairs. tables and bureaus, all dating back to Revolutionary days. Martha Washington tables and the spinning wheels of the Priscilla Dean variety are particularly popular as furnish- ings in ultra a-fashionable French homes.
 According to interior-decorators here a strange interchange is taking place between America and France. While Colonial objects from the United States are being imported here. France is shipping away great quantities of it's Empire and Direc- toire styles of furniture to meet the craze for historical antiques in the United States.
 Although many homes in Paris are now being fitted throughout in the style of American Colonial days, the predominant idea tends towards the furnishing of single room SO as to reminiscent of an American period while the remainder of the house is decorated with French upholstery.

SMOKING FOR sQuAWS
 ONLY AFTER MARRIAGE
Indian Maiden May Shorten Hair or Skirts But Tobacco Is Banned
 Till Nuptial Day

Glacier Park. Mont, May 17 UP.)-The Iidian girl on the Gla- cier National Park reservation may follow her white sister in bobbing her hair and shortening her skirts, but she may not smoke until she is married.
 The Indian girl speedily adopts the customs of pale faces in all re- spects except smoking for the femi- nine side of the family until the daughter is married and her hus- band passes the pipe around the circle. Officially, the girl then, and only then, gets her first whiff of to- bacco, first hand.
 If, after the marriage ceremony, the girl desires to change from pipe to cigarette. that is her privilege. Most of the squaws make that change. preferring cigarettes to pipes, but they always start on pipe. It's an old tribal custom strictly adhered to.

P0STP0NES ACTION ON FLOOD CLAIMS
Council Committee Further De-
 lays BelVidere Petitions

Further delay in action on the Belvidere flood claims was occa- stoned at the meeting of the claims committee of the common council last night because of the absence of eN-Councilman John A. Larson. former chairman of the commit tee, who is in possession of yalu- able data on the damage done by the flood in February. It was voted to meet next Wednesday evening at 1:30 o'clock and prepare a re- port for presentation to the com- mon council at the meeting Juno 19.
 It was voted to recommend that leave 10 withdraw be given on three flood claims. however, be- cause of the failure of the peti. tioners to respond to three notices Of hearings. They are Anthony and Mary Dorbuck of 1850 Stanley street and Leon A. kaplan of 45s Commonwealth avenue. The committee voted to recom- mend payment of $12O.75 to Mrs. Anna Montanile Of l97 Gold street, whose arm was fractured in . fall on an alleged icy sidewalk on Gold street. and $2O to Mrs. Lorenzia DeLeo of 66 Smith street, whose shoulder was dislocated in fan on an alleged icy sidewalk in front of property at 72 Smith street on March 3.
 Action was deferred after . hearing on the claim of Eugene Rouleau. father of Ernest Rouleau. 13. of Seymour street. for S1,0oe, the claim being based on injuries sustained by the boy when he was struck by police department mo- torcycle in charge Of Officer Thom. as Blanchette on Stanley street. near Seymour street, November .s, 1928.
 The boy. who has seven brothers and seven sisters, told his story of the accident and Officer Blanchetts gave his version. The boy took ono
 
 in the direction from which the of- | ficer was coming. and the latter, seeing him too late. shouted to him but struck him and knocked him ] down. Fractures Of the boys legs necessitated hospital treatment un- iii January 2a and. according to Attorney B. J. Monkiewicz. who represented him. there is pos&i- billty that the injuries to one lex may be permanent.
 The question of freedom of tho city from liability on account of the governmental duty theory was discussed by Attorney Monkiewic1 and Corporation Counsel !. H. kirkham and the former cited cases on the point. which will be looked into before action is taken.
