AUSSIES PAINT THE
 PYRAMIDS
Rv DE WITT MACKENZIE

By DE WITT MAChENAlE
 Copyright, 1929, Associated Press) One of the finest rough houses of the world war was staged by Australian troops in Cairo early in 1916. And is was some show! Cleopatra wouldn't have recognized the place had she returned for the Aussies' old home week.
 The trouble really started in a small way over girl, but it quick " assumed proportions of re a l menace. There was open mutiny, and for three weeks the Nile laved the shores of city of tribula- ton. The situation was so fraught with danger to the army and to Cairo that the Pharoahs must have turned over in their tombs, if per- chance there are any of these an- cient rulers who have not been dug up ana c@I:ed away for the ed ification of the curious.
 The matter was very wisely hush ed up at the time. Indeed, even after all these years I shall get no vote of thanks from anybody, much less from my many good Australian friends, for telling this tale. Still it can do no harm now, especially since I am writing about only a few hundred men from a force ol soldiers whose dashing bravery pro- vided one of the epics of the war
 Before telling of the roughhouse it is only fair to call attention to . fact which perhaps many people have not recognized Everybody knows, of course, the Australian. were two-fisted, fearless fighter; of whom the enemy frankly were afraid. Nothing under the SUI could stop them in an attack ex. cept death. But everybody know also that the Australians chafec under military discipline, and tha is what I wish to try to explain 1T a word.
 Australia is still close to he. pioneering days. She is filled witt the type of he men who made his tory in Americas west not so man. years ago The Australian dis likes restraint as did the old-tim CTS of Virginia City. U. s. A., wht wrote their names on the barroon floors in lead to show their inde pendence. This characteristic ii part explains the Cairo imbroglio
 It happened that a considerabl number of men from the wide opel spaces of Australia had been land ed in Egypt from the east and wer waiting to be transported to tn battle lines in France. They wer bronze faced, strapping six-footer who were more used to their sad dles and plains than they were t cities. and irksome military re straint.
 The show started one night in house used as a billet for Aussie next. to the Bristol hotel in til

TWO OVERCOME;
FAMILIES FLEE
TO ICY STREET
Blaze Spreads to Other
Tenements

HOBOKEN, N. j., Jan. 1.-THE
explosion Of furnace in the tene-
ment house at 807 Washington ST.,
Hoboken, followed by blaze that
swept the tenement, threw more
than hundred workers families
into the icy street yesterday morn
ing. The blaze leaped thru the tene-
ment rapidly, and before fire ap-
paratus had arrived, had spread to
two adjoining tenements. Work
ers and their families on the entire
block were forced to flee into the
street, where a sleet storm was
raging.
Two women were overcome by the
smoke, and had to be carried out of
the burning tenement by firemen.
They were Gladys Enright, a IT
year old clerk, and Mrs. Ella Cor
man, 78 years old. The explosion
OF the furnace sent flames darling
upward from the basement thru an
alrshaft. Before the arrival of the
first fire apparatus, the entire
building, from basement to roof.
was mass of flame. Clouds of
smoke spread thru the neighborhood,
and sparks and embers also threat
ened houses on the entire block.
The Washington st. section of
Hoboken in which the blaze occurred
is entirely inhabited by workers
and their families, who are forced
by poverty to dwell in ancient and
tumble-down tenements, always in
need of repair. The section is not
dlssimilar to the East Side of New
York, and is located near the Hud-
son River waterfront. Many of the
iongshoremen live in the Washing
ton st. tenements.

DAIRY FARMERS
OUT ON STRIKE
Refuse to Take Price
of Chicago Trust

CHICAGO, Jan. 17.-With pic
kets on all roads leading to creamer-
les, stopping scab milk producers
wagons and pouring the milk out
on the road, the farmers of Il
linois and Wisconsin are staging
one of the greatest agricultural
strikes in American history.
They are in rebellion against the
milk trust, the Borden and Bowman
Dairy Companies, national organi-
cations which control most of the
creameries amid milk depots within
shipping distance of Chicago. These
great milk distributing monopolies
have beat down the price of milk at
the dairy farmers end of the route,
and beat up the price of milk to the
consumers in the cities, and grown
rich.
This strike is at the point of pro-
duction, and the companies tactics
are to drum up great sentiment
of indignation among the consumers
against the farmers who are accused
of Starving the city," etc.
Bowman and Bordens offer the
farmers $3.50 a hunderweight for
milk. The farmers are on strike
for $2.85. The farmer is getting
about five cents quart, and asks
trifle more.
Picket lines are especially strong
along highways leading to the Bow
man receiving plant at Gurnee, ILL.,,
two Waukegan diaries, and the Bor-
den plant at Bristol, Wise. The lat
ter plant is reported to be ready to
close down, under the effect of night
and day picketing. The Gurnee
plant, which ordinarily receives 25,-
600 pounds day, did not get a
pound of milk yesterday.

the European workers or prevent
exploitation of the colored workers.
Unless the trade union machinery
is placed under the control of the
masses, the trade unions would
again collapse in case of war. The
main thing is to support the con-
structional work of the Soviet
Union"
Cook Answered.
At the next session, Melnichan-
sky, representative of the Soviet
Trade Unions, declared that "Cook
was wrong when he said that the
reformists were honest fools. Cook
had illusions about the General
Council of the Trade Union Con-
gress and the abandonment of the
British miners. The disruption of
the Anglo Russian Committee and
the support of Mondism has not yet
convinced him that the General
Council is subjectively treacherous.
Cooks demand for non-interference
was used by the General Council in
order to disrupt the Anglo Russian
committee"
"War cannot be fought with
phrases" he continued, "but only
with class struggle and civil war.
The imperialists, aided by the So
cial-democrats, are attempting to
deceive the workers with pacifism.
The only country really desiring
peace is the Soviet Union. The
Soviet Labor Unions had affiliated
to the League but did Lot consider
its hands bound. The League had
elements with which the Soviet La
Dor Unions could only go part way.
Affiliation did not mean the aban-
donment of the right to criticise.
Resolutions alone are insufficient,
resolutions must be realized"

SUMMARY

A disturbance of considerable in
tensity was central over eastern
Missouri and soutern Illinois this
morning, attended by heavy cloud
mess and more or less precipitation
practically throughout the eastern
half Of the United States. Heavy
to excessive rains were reported
from Louisiana, Alabama and
Georgia. Fair to clear weather
prevailed practically throughout the
western half of the country under
relatively high barometric pressure
influence in that region. Tenn
peratures were somewhat sub
normal over the immediate North
west this morning, and seasonable
to mild over the balance Of the
country.
