MIR. VOL and the Russians

Just what does Matthew Vol think about the
Amtorg Tracing Company and the Russian business
in America? From his public pronouncements, one
would conclude that he shunS them as he would
a leper.
He has proclaimed his belief in Grover Whalens
Amtorg documents. He has asserted that he believes
Amtorg to be agitatng for overthrow of the American
system of society and government. He lately has
protested that must not have any dealings with
Russia, lest the Muscovite octopus shall overwhelm
American trade and industry. So much for public
consumption.
But Mr.. Vol is himself an American business
man as well as a labor executive. He is president
of the Union Labor Life Insurance Company. His
firm naturally needs to get business. But we can
not imagine that it would stoop to dealings with the
Russian scum. Yet, 10 and behold, the Amtorg Com
pany just has published photostatic copy of letter
written to it by Mr.. Vol on May s. This was three
days after Whalen had published the awful Amtorg
documents showing the reasonable acts of that COM
pany Further the letter was addressed to I. G,
Grapfen named in the documents as the chief rogue
and scoundrel in Amtorg
VOL wrote Grapfen asking him to receive Duffy,
general agent of his company suggested that he take
out policy, and thanked him in advance for any
favors. His letter follows
My dear Mr. Grapfen: This will introduce p j.
Duffy general agent for the Union Labor Life Insur-
ance Company, of the important social develop
ments of the American Federation OF Labor ana
especially designed to carriers as to the
necessity OF life insurance.
AS prominent figure in the business world, ask
that you permit Mr. Duffy to discuss the matter with
you and although your insurance needs may De wen
covered we would appreciate having you as policy
holder in company and to that extent ala Us
in the great service we have undertaken.
The Union Labor Life Insurance Company Is an

ing under the insurance laws of the state or New

II Would Seem That the Way
10 Mans Brain as We'll as
to His Heart Is Through
His Stomach.

r Asst Thursday the body Of a
II murdered man was taken from
the Chicago drainage canal. 1t was
decomposed so badly that the
authorities couldn't tell to what
race it belonged, much less its age
or personal appearance. BY ex-
tracing a tooth and then subject
ing it to violet rays, DR.. August j.
Paccini Of the Northwestern uni--
versity crime detection laboratory
established the fact that the body
was that of a Chinese.
The material gave of a yellow
phosphore5cent light, he says,
whereas, the light would have been
greenish had 1t come from a white'
man, and reddish if from a Negro.
Interesting as all this may be from
a scientific viewpoint, it leaves q lot
to be done If crime detection is the
object. Having discovered that the
victim was Chinese, the Chicago
police dismissed the whole episode
as just one more tong killing and
let it go at that.

1T was one of those inviting places
l. in the 40s or the Sos or maybe
the COS. Our elders would have
called it a speak. There was a bar,
tables, music, singers. Over in one
corner was a stuffed eagle, mute
symbol of decadent individualism
and personal whim.
It looked out on a scene of live
illness with glass eyes, cold, unsee-
ing. People came and went, men
and women. It was interesting to
study them.
Banging away at a Tom Thumb
piano was a cadaverous-looking
youth. Thin, purple lips. Eyes that
blazed and danced. A strange, fas-
cinating contrast.

Caterpillar

PINNED to his left lapel is an ir-
L regular-shaped emblem, thin
curved bar of silver. It isn't hard
to tell what that is-a caterpillar
and it means that at some time or
other, possibly several, the wearer
has Ieaped out of a cracked-up
plane in full flight.
My waiter knew him. He was
Lieutenant -. He had flown
with Rickenbacher in France. He
came back from the war to find the
girl he had left behind had married
a pie-throwing comic in Hollywood.
He's lone wolf these days. He Is
never seen in the company Of any
one.
Once in a while he talks to Berta,
the barkeep. Generally about the
next war.

Handy, Genius

NOU remembered that the late
i Colonel G. P. j. Mooney, one
of the south's most gifted newspaper
men, once wrote a fine piece about
him, his honored place in native
southern music and his raw, I'M
questioned genius.
1t wasn't often that black man
could get the colonel to- write any,
thing about him. But Handy was
well, Handy was different, and as
the colonel used to say, he had
something that God gave him.
Another call for the waiter.
Hurry 'em up cause we gotta see
that fight" demands the garrulous
young man from the south. What
fight?" murnbleS a companion
propped up unsteadily across from
him.
Sitting alone, reading a newspa-
per, is a squat-sized, wide-shoul-
dered man, with jet-black hair and
rugged, twisted features. Looking
at him you think of Wolheim, the
rowdy hero of the films. But may
be he isn't an actor. He looks hard
enough to be a desperate, gang
ster, rodney man.

CHICAGO, Nov. T.-Strong for

Rust Is Spreading
The minister of agriculture of
Argentina confirmed the spread OF
rust into the province of Buenos
Aires, CordoSa, Santa Fe, Entire
Rios and the Pampas. This being
more widespread than had been
thought by the trade.
1t is the almost general belief that
liquidation of the last week has inn
proved the technical position of the
market, although there is more De-
cember liquidation to come. Prices
are so low the pressure from short
sellers has been leSSened r.
The country is sending its corn
mostly on consignment, which serves
to keep a large part of the receipts
off of the open market and there
are not many offers of corn to ar
rive in the future
Futures Stronger
The effect of the receipts is to
give the futures a stronger tone
than otherwise would be possible
A Buenos Aires cablegram init
mated that Argentina was consider
ing the use of corn as locomotive
fuel in the place of coal as an
economy measure.
Oats are SO low that they figure
out at less than / cent q pound and
nobody wants to sell short as a.
result of these prices. There has
been a new class of buying recently,
cash interests and investment buy
ing on the belief that the cold
weather will increase the feed de-
mand.
