PARIS, August THE Mona Lisa in
the Louvre is the real Mona Lisa, mu
scum officials emphatically declared to-
day when asked about a London news
paper statement that the original Of
Da Vinci's masterpiece is in the hands
Of an Algerian picture dealer
This is about the eighth similar
circumstantial story that the original is
still missing" said a high authority,
but there isn't the slightest doubt as
to the authenticity of the worlds most
celebrated painting"
He added that photographs, minute
descriptions by experts and a mass of
similar evidence collected prior to the
theft of the Mona Lisa in August, 1911,
enable experts definitely to prove the
identity of the canvas, recovered in
Florence in December, 1881
The newspaper statement was at
tributed to man described as one Of
the thieves who once stole the picture.
Fernand Cellerier, director of the
National Physical Laboratory, main
tatned that you need have no fear
about Da Vinci's masterpiece, although
I admit I have seen another Mona Lisa
which might puzzle many experts"

BY Staff Correspondent Of The Star.

FAIRFAX, Va, August 3.-Despite
previous statement that he would
abide by the decision of the Demo-
cratic Committee that names can legally
be written on ballots in primary
elctions Eandon C. Painter of Hybla
Valley is considering the possibility of
contesting the nomination at Tuesdays
primary of John c. Mackal OF Langley
for the House Of Delegates, it was an
nounced today.
Il have not definitely decided to take
action" Painter declared, Il have al
ways been in favor of permitting voters
to write in the names Of their choice,
but it was the Democrats themselves
Who adopted party plan prohibiting
this action In primaries and l believe
that a court of equity would hold that
they must abide by their own rules and
declare me the Democratic nominee" :"
At the time Of the death Of Delegate
Edmund H. Allen only his and Painters
names were on the ballot and it was too
late for any other candidates to file
end have their names printed on, hence
Mackall and Herbert F. Williams ran
on the writing in policy and
Mackall received the nomination by q
large majority
Regardless of any action that may
be taken by Painter regarding the
validity of Mackalls nomination for the
next regular session, the latter'S elec-
ton for service in the special session
beginning August II is believed to be
assured Both Mackall's and Williams
names are on the ballot as candidates
end Williams has stated that he will
probably be inactive in so far as his
campaign is concerned because Of Mack
alls heavy vote in the primary.

BOOST PRICES AND
HOLD DOWN PAY

New York.-Leading rug manufac-
turers sent notice of Is per cent
increase in the prices of rugs to deal
ers throughout the country. All rugs
were increased from 2 to Z per cent
over the spring levels last month.
This new increase will put prices
around 20 per cent above the spring
maximum. The manufacturers gave
no notice Of their intention to raise
the wages of their employees.
The boost in rug prices will impose
a very definite burden on more than
one-half million employees of the fed
eral government whose pay, under the
recent executive order issued by Pres
ident Roosevelt cannot be increased
before January l, 1884.
Organized workers in private indus
tries may be able to compel employ
ers to increase their wages enough
to absorb the increased cost of rugs
and similar floor coverings. But IN
Gle Sans faithful employees will either
go without new rugs for the rest of
this year or cut some other essential
of the family budget, already reduced
to the minimum by the Is per cent
wage reduction imposed upon them by
the governments reactionary wage
slashing policy.

UNION SEEKS
Codes Covering Textile In
dustry Branches

New York City ULNS)-The emer-
gency committee of the United Tex
tile Workers of America, called into
special session at the New York head
quarters to consider the developments
to date in the textile codes, and to
plan the position of the union in the
woolen and worsted, silk and rayon,
knitted, upholstery and carpet and
pile fabrics industries.
Thomas F. Mcmahon, president of
the union. expressed the qualification
OF the United Textile Workers of
America in the establishment of the
cotton code, and the regulation set
forth by President Roosevelt. He said
that the delay in submitting the other
textile codes will prove dangerous to
business employment and the prin-
ciples of the MIRA.
The emergency committee announc-
ed that Frank Schweitzer, of Pater-
son; Francis ]. German, first vice
president of the United Textile Work
ers, and William F. Kelly, second
vice president, will go to Washington
and assist President Mcmahon with
the codes on silk, rayon, woolen and

fabrics.

PAGAN
Economic System Must Go
Forum is Told

Charlottesville, Va. (ILNS)-Every
thing in life, even religion, is largely
dependent upon economic conditions,
DR.. John Mcdowell, moderator of the
general assembly Of the Presbyterian
Church in the United States, told the
Institute of Public Affairs at the Uni
versity of Virginia.
at is idle" DR.. Mcdowell said,
'to talk of the kingdom of God, Of
an ideal social order in which the
Divine viii is realized, while the
present essentially pagan economic
system exists. The time has come
when we must insist that it is i'm
possible for men and women to be
possessed with Christ's spirit and not
be concerned with the conditions un-
der which people live and work.
1--WE must put our Christianity into
all our human relationships if it is to
be real and effective in modern life.
Economic society may be guided by
intelligence, but it must be founded
upon conscience, which means it must
be founded upon religion.
"It is increasingly evident that if
our individualistic system of owner
ship and control of industry and agri-
culture is to continue, those who hold
economic privilege must adopt a new
attitude of intelligent social concern
based on long view of their own and
their neighbor's interest.
IF the churches have a message
for industry, now is the time to de-
clare it. For although it is not the
business Of the church to furnish to
the world an economic program, it is
our business to see that no economic
program is permitted to exist under
which injustice and oppression find
shelter"

Social Justice For Labor
Visioned BY Untermeyer

New Samuel Untermyer, on
the eve Of sailing for London to at
tend an international Jewish confer
ence, hailed the national industrial
recovery act as a truly noble expert
ment.
Its most promising feature, if prop
erly applied, he said, is higher wages
and a nearer approach to social JUS
tice for labor. 1t will limit the size
of fortunes, stabilize industry, in
crease purchasing power and so help
create real prosperity, he held.
Mr. Untermyer warned, however,
that tariff tinkering would initiate
against the successful application Of
the recovery act

Washington, D. c. (ILNS)-On the
heels of presidential approval of the
cotton textile code as first in line,
comes the news that tremendous
campaign is about to begin to force
hold-out industries to come IN under
the tent with codes of fair practice.
The administration has been more
worried than it has cared to show
over the failure of such industries as
steel. oil and automobiles, to produce
codes. Reports of progress are def
nitelv known to constitute stalling
tactics.
The National Association of Manu-
facturers has largely inspired the
bold-out tactics. 1t has spread the
alarm of unionsm, holding before it's
membership the bogey story that
under codes their plants would have
to face unionization.
War Expected Soon
The administration is set to begin
war on these "big fellows" and the
opening gun may be expected at any
moment.
The cotton textile code was signed
and sent forth amid a fanfare OF
statements in praise of the industry
and of those who partook in the job
Of making the code. 1t registers tre-
