ISOLATION. arrived on the Florida

Immediately after arriving Mr..
Alvarez was at the Santaella Cigar
factory and addressed the en,-
ployes relative to the new work
ing code recently agreed on by a
committee from the manufac-
turers and the authorities in Wash

This code was worked out after
much study of conditions in the

ploycd.
It provides for cigarmakers to

Should q cigarmaker desire to

will not be allowed to earn less
for the eight hours. In the event
that he loses time Of his own Volt
ton, the time lost will be de-
Quoted.
Minimum wages for shippers.
those who remove the stems, will
be SO for a 40 hour week. The
same rule as to lost time, when
the worker Is personally respon-
sibic, will apply.
The working day begins for all
employees at o'clock for certain
employees and 7:20 o'clock for
others. A regular lunch hour TO
begin at 0 o'clock and end at 10
o'clock will be observed by every.

LongshoreInen's Strike In

The longshoremen's strike

made she took "a cars. Ar
irving in Havana the work

sci. A committee came to
the ferry slip when seven Of
the cars had been taken off
and ordered the men to de-
sist.
AS a result Of this action
the ferry was forced to re-
turn the following day with
II of the cars carried over
to Havana in the vessel.
Since that time no voyages
have been made by any of
the ferries as the strikers
were demanding that no
more ferries be allowed to
bring cars to port and all
vessels be anchored in the
harbor and their cargoes
lightered to the shore.

Quick Naturalization OF Einstein
Sough By Savant's English Friends
(By Associated Pressl
By OSCAR LEIDING

LONDON, August. 22.-Steps
are being taken here to obtain
for Prof. Albert Einstein-citizen
of the world but of no country
rapid naturalization as British
subject.
The champion of the famous
German Jewish savant, who lodg-
ed notice at the German embassy
in Brussels renouncing his German
nationality, is Commander Oliver
Locker-Lampson, member of
parliament.
Search For Short Cut
Commander Locker Lampson
who was Prof. Einstein's host on
his recent visit here, introduced
a bill in parliament just before it
adjourned which was designed to
permit citizenship in Palestine for
Jews deprived of citizenship else
where.
But for the scientist, the COM
mander believes, this would be
neither adequate nor sufficiently
prompt. So he is seeking, through
the home secretary, more rapid
naturalization process.
Prof. Einstein himself sat in the
distinguished strangers gallery in
the house of commons just before
adjournment and listened to his
host plead for the extension of OPP
portunities of citizenship for Jews
resident outside the British EN-
pire.
Parliament Cheers Einstein
81 feel the great German peo-
pie have been misled by their lead
ers," the commander said. Ger
many has not driven out her cut
throats and blackguards. She has
selected the cream of her culture
and suppressed it."
There was great applause from
the floor for the scientist when
the speaker added:
She even has turned upon her
most glorious citizen, Prof. Elm
stein.''
On his visit here, the savant
siined with David Lloyd George.
wartime premier, and like all
guests was given the visitors
book to sign.
Under the space reserved for
his address he wrote "ohne"-the
German word for without"
May Use Rare Power
Discussion is now proceeding as
to whether the home secretary has
the power to grant a naturaliza-
tion certificate. He has certain
powers under statutes of 1914,
1918. and 1922 t owaive the ordi-
nary requirements as to residence
but the latitude to grant special
certificates applies to ''any person
with respect to whose nationality
as a British subject a doubt ex-
lists"
If Einstein's case does not fell
within the statutes, another course
is technically open-the promo
tion Of private bill in parliament.
The process is very rare but
parliament could grant British cit
isenship to the exiled scientist.
