FIGHTING SIXTH"
RALLY AT 10 A. NJ.
Agency Sent Worker
on Wild Goose Chase

NEW YORK. - THE Fighting
Sixth Of the Unemployed Councils,
calls for a mass turnout at 10
O'Clock this morning at 46th Street
and 9Th Avenue, to protest one of
the most outrageous swindles by a
job shark in a long time.
William Harhurg, a pastry baker
spent his last $17s5 going to Wash
ington. D. @. for a Job. He was
sent by the Grand Employment
Agency, 1906 9Th Avenue. When he
reached Washington, he discovered
that the agency already had filled
the job. Now the agency refuses to
repay him for the wild goose chase.
The boss of the University Pastry
Shop, of 1924 Wisconsin Avenue.
Washington, gave Harburg a letter
to take back to New York to the
job shark.
"a man from your agency has just
arrived much TO our surprise" the
boss wrote to the shark. I'VE have
already hired a man from New York
who forwarded a telegram to you
from Brooklyn"
At the meeting this morning, a
delegation of rank and file workers
will be elected to go again to the
City License Bureau to demand that
the license of the Grand Agency be
revoked. Another delegation will go
to the shark to demand the return
of the money swindled from Har-
burg.

Police Attacked Workers
The demonstration at the 1nsti-
tute was for the right of workers to
get a change of clothing from their
bags which were being held because
they owed few cents board. Spe-
cial police attacking the workers
were beaten up. The police charged
Schouter with assault.
The International Labor Defense,
who is fighting the vicious open
frame-up, pointed out today that the
case involved the right of the work
ers to the streets. Franklin D..
Roosevelt is honorary ice-president
of the Seamen's Institute, While Ker-
nit Roosevelt along with other big
ship owners are the controlling body.
That these big bosses are behind
the frame-up was admitted in court
by Judge Collins when in charging
the jury he pointed out the political
significance of crushing the seamen's
miIitancy. He also promised to free
Schouter If the Marine Workers I'm

By Militant Union

NEW YORK.-The workers in the
Greenbaum shop, after an enthusi-
astic meeting, decided to give the
boss fight against the age-cut
that he had declared.
Greenbaum has forced two wage
cuts through and was now going to
impose third, but this time the
workers in the shop heard about the
victory of the Garfinkel and Stein
berg shop, led by the Independent
Carpenters Union, so they decided
to accept the leadership of the union.
The strike is going full force The
shop is located at 25th ST. and Lex

The MARYLAND BIBLE SOCIETYS CORNER
''The Word of Our God Shall Stand Forever

speaking America, the increase of
tourists is very noticeable. The
other day lady tourist rushed in
to the Bible House and asked for a
Bible. She had just received a cable
from a Rabbi friend and wanted to
know what the Old Testament verse
meant which he quoted in the cable
We did not make sale, but we had
the satisfaction of bringing joy to
her heart, for the verse read: The
Lord make His face shine upon thee
and be gracious unto thee During
the year 1881 one hundred and seven
missionaries, representing twenty
one different missionary organiza-
tions, availed themselves of the mis-
sionary quarters at the Bible House,
from one day to five weeks. Many
and varied are the calls that come
to US from missionaries. Some write
asking it we can provide lodging for
them at such and such a time. 9th
ers ask US to book passage for them
and perhaps look after their stray
baggage; or else they request us to
rebill freight shipments or to buy
certain articles and send them along
with missionaries who are soon to
pass through. We are always glad
to accommodate them, if We know
exactly what is wanted. With the
coming and going of so many peo-
pie through the canal, the Bible
House finds large opportunity to
sell Bibles and Testaments and dis
tribute thousands of Portions. "

There is a sense in which the sew
eral agencies of the American Bible
Society and the British and Foreign
Bible Society have become the spirit
ual descendants of the ancient mon
asteries as repositories of the Holy
Scriptures. Not that in these deposi-
tories the Sacred Word is preserved
as in the converts of antiquity, but
rather do they serve as reservoirs
from which the wayfaring man may
draw the water of lie when weary
and athirst.
There are two such reservoirs in
which the Maryland Bible Society
has peculiar interest, as they have
been presented by it to the American
Bible Society to better serve both the
Orient and the Occident.
The first is at Cristobal Canal
Zone, and is known as "The House
at the Crossroads of the World"
The second, completed in 1928,
standing where Orient and Occident
meet, at Peiping, China, is presided
over by Rev. Carlton Lacy.
Mr.. R. r. Gregory is charged with
the responsibility of serving the Car
ibean agency, with headquarters at
Cristobal. AS an indication of the
quality of service rendered by Mr..
Gregory in his house by the side of
the road, quote from recent re-
port: "The Panama Canal is often
times called the Crossroads of the
New World The Bible House is a
stones throw away from the en-

passengers arriving at the Atlantic

order to enter Cristobal or Gallon.

meet all sorts of people. With the

Mulch Protects Plants From Heat
Rather Than Cold
That a winter mulch of straw or
leaves, or a covering of burlap, is a
protection to tender shrubs or other
perennial plants from heat rather
than cold, will come as surprise
to many gardners. Yet, this is the
statement of Mark NJ. Shoemaker,
assistant specialist in landscape
gardening for the University Of
Maryland Extension Service.
The real purpose of the mulch, he
states, is to prevent the sun from
thawing out the ground too rapidly,
as therein lies the danger to the
roots. Successive freezings and
thawings tend to heave newly
planted perennials out of the ground,
he says.
1t is not likely, according to Mr..
Shoemaker, that freezing of the
ground can be prevented by the
depth of mulch ordinarily put on. He
advises waiting until after the first
heavy frost, or freeze, before doing
this garden chore and then doing it
while the ground is still frozen.
Pruning in the fall or early spring
is perfectly safe for some types of
Towering shrubs, this specialist
says, but it is disastrous for other
types. He points out that some
kinds of shrubs, such as forsythea,
towering ounce, and weigela, which

bloom early in the year, produce
flowers on wood made the previous
summer. Pruning that kind of plants
in fall or early spring, he states, re-
moves wood that would bear bloom.
Late summer and fall-blooming
shrubs, such as hydrangea, althea, Or
crepe-myrtle, bloom on wood made
during the current season and may
be pruned safely.
Without worrying about the reas-
ons, Mr.. Shoemaker says, it is a
safe rule in most cases to prune i'm
mediately after blooming.

Twenty-Five marriage licenses were

Clerk of the Circuit Court in Oak

Two applicants were refused licen-
ses. A girl applicant was refused
a permit because the boy she was to
marry applied for a license a few
days previous and gave his age as 10
which is below the legal marriage age
of the male When the girl applied
for the license she stated that the boy
was 81.
