Big Masks for Tribal Dancers.

Four ceremonial masks from New
Guinea ranging from IA to 10 feet in
height have been placed on exhibition
at Field Museum of Natural History In
Chicago. The masks are made largely
Of feathers, but at that 1t Is often
necessary for the wearers to have some
help in moving around. They are
worn during weird ceremonial per-
formances which occur only once in
two or three years. The masks are
used on such occasions, one somewhat
smaller than the other. The masks
are made inside an Enclosure from
which the uninitiated are carefully ex-
cluded. The process Of manufacture
usually takes six months or longer.
When everything Is ready the In
closure Is opened at one corner. and
the ceremonial procession, headed by
musicians and dancers, appears and
slowly makes its way through the VIII
lage. When the ceremony is over the
masks are dismantled, the bamboo
frames being destroyed and the feath-
ers carefully preserved, and the deities
represented by them are believed to
rturn to their local abiding place, such
as the bottom Of a neighboring lagoon

NEW YORK, January Tt was an
other day of heavy trading on the
Curb Exchange, with the main body
of stocks displaying more nervousness
than at any time since the turn of
the year While there was no uni
formity to the price movement, the
majority of changes occurred on the
side of decline.
Stocks of airplane companies were
active, with good sized losses taking
place in such recent favorites as Niles
Bement-Pond, Sikorsky, E. w. Bliss and
Boeing Air g. Transport. Aviation Cor
poration of America, on the other hand,
advanced sharply to new high record,
up points at one time, and Uni
versal Aviation experienced one Of the
largest turnovers since trading COM
menced in the issue.
Public utilities. which advanced
sharply following last weeks announce
ment of the New York Central electri-
f1cation plans, were held in check by
profit taking today.
Lower prices were reached by Elec-
trio Bond & Share securities, United
Gas g. Improvement and Northeastern
Power, receSSionS ranging from l to
more than 4 points.
Buying for control was the gossip in
connection with the further upturn to
new top prices in Ford Motor of Can
ada. At BIG the price was Is points
above last weeks final but lost the i'm
provement subsequently. Ford Motor
Ltd, the British subsidiary, opened frac-
tionally higher on block of 5000
shares, but failed to attract the atten-
ton it had Immediately following the
listing of the issue for trading here.
Considerable interest centered in the
trading on Radio Corporation new pre-
ferred and Radio Corporation common.
The stocks both opened on blocks Of
5000 shares at 1879 and 1919, respec-
lively, and were pressed for sale there
after. The issues represented the stocks
to be issued under the plan for the
merger with Victor Machine. Mining
shares were, for the most part, lower.
The oils did little.

COTTON STEADIES UP
AFTER EARLY DROP
Southern Selling and Liquidation
Absorbed in Today's Mar
ket Dealings.
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, January THE cotton
market opened steady at decline of 2
to 9 points under Southern selling and
liquidation which sent prices off to 1914
for March and 1887 for July.
Trade buying and covering developed
in sufficient volume around the 1874
cent level for Spring months to absorb
the offerings, however, and the market
soon became less active, with prices
showing rallies of several points from
the lowest by the end of the first half
hour. March sold up to 1881, with
active months generally selling back to
about Saturdays closing quotations
Gables from Liverpool made a fairly
steady showing and advices said that
local and Bombay liquidation there had
been absorbed by trade calling and COW
ering on the declines. According to
these advices the demand for cotton
cl this was well sustained, but the de-
mand for yarns was limited.

Passing Of Notorious Chicago Anti-Labor Organ
ization Announced By Thomas E. Donnelly,
Who Has All He Can Do to Retain Big Nom
Union Printing Contracts From M. O. Houses

Chicago, Ill. I. L. n. S.)-Death
has at last overtaken the malodorous
citizens committee to enforce the
Lands award, organized in Novem-
Der, 1921, for the purpose of finish
ing the attempted wrecking of the
building trades unions of this city
started by Kenesaw Mountain Lands,
then asfederal district judge, but now
the so-called "czar of baseball"
The demise of the busting
citizens committee has been announc-
ed by its chairman, Thos. f. Donnel,
ly, president of the notoriously un-
fair r. r. Donnelly & Sons Com
pany, operating the largest rat
printing office in the world, which
now has a fight on it's hands to re-
tain huge printing contracts recently
obtained from Sears, Roebuck & Co.
and Montgomery Ward & Co., big
Chicago mail order houses.
The announced reason for disband-
ing the committee is decision of the

These poverty stricken people are
listless, languid and depressed be-
cause of lack of food and clothing.
Even when put to work, the govern
ment officials state, they are too weak
to keep at the job.
The last general election was held
five years ago, when Ramsey McDon-
aid and the labor party were ousted
from office after nine months ten
ure. They were overwhelmed by a
popular vote of 8,112,000 to 5,47O,000.
In the closing days of this campaign
the tories produced the famous red"
letter, in which Russian communists
were alleged to advise Mcdonald in
the event of labor's success. The
workers failed to check popular re-
sentiment. Later the conservatives re-
fused to include the letter in the gov
ernment's official "Blue Book" there
by acknowledging it was forgery.
At that election former Premier
Lloyd George and his liberal party
polled 100000 votes. In the coming
election the conservatives are hopeful
to divide labor. The liberals have
abandoned former declarations in ia
vor of unchecked competition and
have platform the workers charge
was taken from their declarations.

COMPENSATION
Bill Is Passed BY North
Carolina Legislature

Raleigh, N. G. U. L. N. S.)-A
workmen's compensation bill favored
by employers and trade unionists both
has been passed by the lower house
of the North Carolina state legisla-
ture. after having previously been
passed by the state senate. The bill
is now referred back to the state
senate for approval on amendments.
Provisions of the bill call for a
minimum Of 81 per week in case of
injury, and a maximum of $18, at
60 per cent Of earnings. The death
payment is $500, with substantial
sums to cover permanent disable
ment or Disagreement. The compen-
sation law is to be administered by
a commission of three, to represent
the manufacturers, the public, and
labor, and the wage of commissioners
has been set at $4,000 per year.
Governor Max o. Gardner, in spe-
cial message to the state legislature,
asked for the passage of an adequate
compensation law, carrying out his
campaign promises to organized labor
in doing so. The Manufacturers Asso-
citation and the State Federation of
Labor compromised their widely sep
arate demands and decided on a com
promise measure which promises to
be the finest bill yet passed in any
Southern state.
Opposition to the bill came most
bitterly from q powerful lobby of
damage suit lawyers who tried to de-
feat the bill by posing as friends of
weekly compensation of $35 per week
and $4,000 for death.

THREE TIMES

Washington.-A proposed Califor-

ate waterpower commission was de-
feated three times by the public utili-
ties Of that state, according to testi-
mony before the federal trade COM
mission.
In three successive elections, 1922,
1924 and 1926, the amendment was
placed on the ballot and each time it
was defeated. The power industry,
evidence showed, conducted well or
ganized campaigns.
The California electrical bureau
files contain no record of funds spent
or details of the campaign. 1t was
stated, however, that reports were

Lands Award Committee Gives
Up Fight on Unions and Dies

Hope Thompson, sought an injunction
in the superior court against the citi-
zens' committee. The writ was de-
MED and an appeal was taken. After
dragging along for several years, the
supreme court gave the carpenters
a favorable decision last December.
There were $4,000 members affil-
lated with the Carpenters District
Council when this fight started. The
membership is double that at this
time, and the citizens committee, de-
spite its entrenched power and the
enormous capital it represented, is
dead and buried.
Now comes a fight nearer home to
Thomas E. Donnelly His own pocket
book is threatened to the tune OF
something like $5O,000,000 He, to-
gether with julius Rosenwald, cele-
brated throughout the world as ar
alleged "philanthropist," have enter.
ed into a deal whereby the printing
of the catalogues and other publicity
matter of Sears, Roebuck < Co., OF
which Rosenwald is the chief owner
is to be done under non-union condi-
tions in the Donnelly plant for ter
years, beginning March l, 1880.
Thirty Millions lnyolvde
1t is pretty we'll authenticated that
this printing contract calls for 3d.
OOO,OO a year, or $30,O00,000 for the
ten year period. 1t is not known what
the Montgomery Ward & Co. printing
contract calls for, but it is thought
that the sum is at least two thirds
