 All of the boy sopranos are from London and are members of the Westminster Abbey and St. Paul Cathedral. They are receiving their training at the London Choir School, not only in music but in other grammar ~c--~ol subjects. During the trip around the world the boys con- -..-3 their studies under the in struction of a junior master of this school. These boys were chosen from 400 pupils of this school.

respecting boy who has contributed his
precious dimes to Hollywood's prosperity
knows it must be so.
Such interest may seem childish to
Americans and unworthy of one grown
to mans estate. The Londoner can
only plead the novelty of what he sees
as his excuse. For the famous hobbies"
of his own home town carry nothing
more deadly than wooden truncheon.
And not one citizen in thousand ever
sees even that; for the British police
man is not allowed to draw his weapon
unless he is about to use 1t on an Of
tenders head.
Other European Police.
Most other European police are more
Iormldably armed. Some even carry
shining swords, as we'll as the pistols
strapped in polished holsters to their
belts. But they look so neat and stiff
In tight-buttoned uniforms that it
seems impossible they could unbend so
lar as to draN their weapons in pub
Tic place. Any anyway their little au-
tomatoes are mere toys beside the for
midable guns of the American cops.
1t may appear strange that the Brit
ish policeman should be sent out to en-
force the law armed only with weapon
which any schoolboy could fashion for
himself. But the reason is simple: 1t
does not pay the criminal to shoot. He
has no temptation to make sure" by
firing first, because he knows that the
officer who catches him Is unarmed.
And he knows also that If he kills a
constable he stands q chance of more
than 10 to l Of ending on the galloWs
before he is much older. For Scotland
Yard is unpleaSantly efficient and jurieS
are VIGOROUSLY hard hearted. So the
safecracker caught in the act usually
throws in his hand and goes quietly
in the hope that his sentence will be
less severe If he refrains from violence.

CHICAGO CLEANERS
ORDER UNION BAN
Lockout Follows Steps to
Organize Competition
for Employers.

| ny the ASSOCidteu EEcSS'
| CHICAGO, November 1.-ApproXl-
mately 5000 members of the Cleaners
| Dyers' and Pressers' Union were notifled
today to sever their union Affiliations or
Ne locked out by the Master Cleaners
and DyerS' Association. The lockout
will be effective tonight until the en-
ployeS are willing to return on nom
union basis, officers Of the association
said.
The lockout order was in reply to a
recent announcement that the union
would soon open its own $1,000,000
cleaning and dyeing plant to compete
for the city's $4,000, 900 annual clean
ing business.
Use Central Plant.
The Masters Association is composed
of community tailors and independent
operators, who send their cleaning and
dyeing work to central plant
j. L. Friedman, president of the asso-
citation, said it was the first time to his
knowledge that union had entered an
industry on a competitive basis with
firms employing members of the union.
He asserted that Ben A. Abrams. presi-
dent of the Cleaners, Dyers' and Press
ers' Union, was the actual owner of the
new plant and had raised the necessary
money by assessments on union mem
berS.
1t was stated recently that the union
was under suspension by the American
Federation of Labor for non-payment
of dues.
Have Had Years Of Struggle.
The masters have had years of strug-
gle, marked by vandalism, murder, rack
eteering and terrorism, for supremacy in
the cleaning and dyeing field. Besides
the Master Cleaners and Dyers' Asso-
citation, most of the city's work is done
by the Central Cleaners and DyerS'
Association. reputedly backed by George
Bugs" Moran, North Side gangster. and
Morris Becker. independent operator.
About year ago it was reported that
Becker had retained AL "Scarfare" Ca
