HOLD CONFERENCE
 ON LABOR STRIKE
Shllatss ud- Employers
 Mpe to Rslh ASr9nnt

A conference between the master steam 0tters and the representatives of tho Hastford union will be held this afternoon during which an effort will he made to settle the strike which involves not only the Hartford steam htters but a group of New Britain employees who arc at work on the new Senior High school addi- tion on Bassett street.
 During the conference the com- promise offer of the master steam Alters will be discussed and two prin- cipal matters will be ironed out to the satisfaction of both sides, they hope, In the offer made yesterday the master steam filters agreed to the demanded raise from $f.-5 an hour to 1.s7h an hour but would not agree to the demand that the helpers be replaced by iourneymen. The masters request that for two years they be given the right to bid on open shop work. This latter proposition is expected to meet SC were opposition from the journey men and the proposal to eliminate the helpers will meet with opposition from the contractors who have al- ready bid on work and would lose money on it if they have to pay $22 q day for both journeymen instead of paying for one journeyman and one helper, they say.
 If no agreement fs reached today the master steam filters are left in an unfayorable position. If they go out and hire non- union men, union brick layers, carpenters and elec- tricians will quit work on the build- ing where non-union men are em- rloyed, according to the usual cus- tom. In this case the construction of the new high school addition will be at standstlll and not only will the portion scheduled to be finished in September be unfinished but the entire building will be completed later than it is scheduled.

ESKIMOS' CULTURE
 OBJECT 0f SEARCH
Scientists Will Conduct EIpe, didou for "Godsn Aee' Relics

Washington, May 10 R - Rem- nants of golden age" of Eskimo culture will be sought this summer south of Boring strait
 The search will be made by Henry R. Collins, Jr.. assistant curator of ethnology. United States National museum. and Herman E. Brandt, an engineer.
 Findings are expected to add evil dence to the theory that the Eskimo had . Siberian. Boring sea, or north ern Alaskan origin, rather than an eastern. It may be proved that the art of the Greenland, Labrador. and North Canadian Eskimo was derived ffeM an ancient but newly discov. cred civilization.
 Tho Dskimo culture, the oldest Of sts Kind Of which man has knowledge was first found in 1928 by Dr. Ales Ardlicka. anthropologtst of the mu- scum. and Diamond Jennes of the national museum of Canada.
 Art of the period excels with graceful sweeping lines that adapt themselves to the shape of the ob- ject. circles fashioned free hand. and ornamentation that is rich and flow- ing. Modern Eskimo art is called mechanical in comparison.
 Collins and Brandt will collect or Haments, tools. and weapons. Per- manently frozen piles\ of refuse. or chen-middens," some more than IS feet thick, will be pierced. Great numbers of articles fashioned from bone and ivory are known to be contained in the rubbish heaps.
 Objects unearthed 50 far are to- tally different in shape and detai. from those of modern times. Har- poon heads were fastened different ly and the use of many objects is unknown to the Eskimo of today.
 The present expedition will leave Seattle on the Northland. a coast guard cutter. and reach Nome in the middle of June. The men will ex- pl0re sites on Norton sound and St. Lawrence island. probably returning in October.

ATLANTA HE|RESS
WORKS AS MODEL
Jacque Swift Finds Enjoy
ment Displaying Gowns
in Local Shop.

The glittering advertisements of the
idle rich are just another yawn to
Jacque Swift. At 10 that young lady
more than half suspects that travel is
an adventure in futility, bridge but a
compromise with boredom and dancing
a silly whirl that gets you nowhere.
Since childhood Miss Swift has been
beating against the bars of her golden
cage. AS a schoolgirl she was OPP
pressed by luxury; as debutante she
rebelled against the endless round of
gayety that involved her.
So she arrived at tremendous de-
cision.
The potential heiress to five, or per-
haps ten, millions found she no longer
could gain her. own consent to refrain
from work.
Entrained for Washington.
In her Atlanta mansion, on Peach
tree road, Miss Swift hastily got a few
belongings together. She packed them
in suit case-or possibly couple OF
small trunkS-and entrained for Wash
ington.
That was a fortnight ago. Today
Miss Swift Is doing her nine hours as
a model for an F street importers
shop-Rizik Bros.
She obtained the Job strictly on her
own merits and went to work Monday
morning.
Yesterday, when a newspaper man
called, Miss Swift was toiling indus
triously. Sheathed in a carmen evening
gown, she graciously piroutted at the
bidding of two woman patrons.
"A little to the left, my dear" purred
one, never suspecting she was address,
ing one of the WealthieSt Southern
debutantes, and little to the left it
was.
Miss Swift had complied with just
the effective touch of naughty disdain,
her blonde beauty a flawleSs recommen-
dation for the merchandise she was ex-
hibiting.
A moment later. retiring to an alcove
with her visitor, the stately demeanor
of the professional model gave way to
schoolgirl naivete.
Thrilled With Work.
The job was going splendidly, she
was thrilled with the work, the sur
roundings; she was determined to stick
it out and make good with her en-
ployers.
In short, Miss Swift was certain,
after thre days of practical experience,
that she had discovered a paneca for
ennui-Work.
The girl is the only child of Tim
Swift of Atlanta, millionaire many
times over. The family fortune was
founded on the successful manufacture
of a patent medicine which has be-
come a household word in many parts
of the South.
While in Washington she is living
with an aunt, Mrs. Harry Wendal OF
6O8 Nicholson street There she makes
her own bed, tides her room and rides
the street cars to work.
She rubs elbows, and likes it, with
other alert young women IL the morh-
ing and afternoon rush to and from
the business district.
Meanwhile Miss Swift is getting in
nire hours, from to 6, and hoping
her family will not demand that she
return to the fatiguing routine OF
pleasure.
