baif1a done which in the ordinary course
of events would be spread out over Q

The synopsis Of unemployment condi-
tons throughout the United. States
issued by the Department OF LABOR
reveals that In December there were
further reductions In operating sohed"

but In part this Is attributed to the
fact that December els generally recog-

Winter conditions have tntertered

trades. Agricultural work which cffers
seasonal employment to thousands OF

appraise accurately one month as

several weeks, but that many orders are
being placed now for materials and
equipment which should be reflected
very soon in increased employment in
the many factories and business estab-
lishments which supply the by-prod-

Another significant point made by the
employment service Of the Department
Of Labor Ii that "the larger industries
have low stocks on hand, and with q
brighter outlook prevailing are ready to
increase producing schedules, which VIII
mean increased employment"
Broadly speaking the comment made
By the Government bureaus which know

the month Of December drew to a close
"a more hopeful outlook" regarding In
dustrial employment became evident.

BY ABBOTT'S WIFE

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
PHILADELPHIA, December 31.-In
a sensational court hearing which ended
in an uproar when Mrs. Peter Abbott
struck the prosecutions star witness in
the face and called her liar, Abbott
today was ordered extradited to Mary
land as the alleged trigger man" in
the Old Colonial Tea House shooting
near Bladensburg, Md, November %
AS Judge Frank Kun announced his
decision to turn Abbott over to Mary
land authorities, Mrs. Abbott, enraged
at testimony of Mrs. Verne Edwards
that Abbott was the first man to enter
the tea house on the night of the
shooting, leaned over and struck the
witness in the mouth with her fist.
How can you stand there and lie
like that" shouted Mrs. Abbott.
Led From Court Room.
A number of court attaches jumped
TO the protection of Mrs Edwards while
others led Mrs. Abbott, shouting and
crying, from the court room. 1t was
fully five minutes before order was re-
stored in the crowded court.
Judge Kun did not hold Mrs. Abbott
in contempt of court.
Mrs. Edwards, principal witness in
the habeas corpus proceedings to obtain
eXtradition of Abbott, testified ne was
the first of the alleged gunmen to enter
the teahouse.
He ordered me to go to the kitchen
and stick up my hands, Mrs. Edwards
testified.
She said she didn't know who fired
the first shot because everybody was
firing at once"
Woman Given Guard.
After Judge Kun heard three of ten
defense witnesses, he announced his
decision.
Whether this defendant is innocent
or not he said lis not a matter left to
my discretion. Under Pennsylvania law
it is matter for the jury to decide and
will, therefore have to turn him over
to the Maryland authorities"
1t was then that Mrs. Abbott lunged
at Mrs Edwards. When order finally
was restored, Abbott was taken from the
court room, accompanied by Sergt w.
C. Feehly Of Baltimore, Deputy Sheriff
Thomas Garrison of Prince Georges
County and other officers. He left for
Baltimore, where he will be finger
printed and photographed before being
taken to the Marlboro Jail.
Police protection was afforded Mrs.
Edwards when she left the court room.
She was surrounded by detectives, who
feared an attempt might be made on her
life by racketeers and alleged white
slaverS.
