LABOR STRIKE
IN MILWAUKEE,
Workers Unite Againsc
Strike Breaking Action
of Socialist Leaders

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, May 7 A
group of more than SO men on forced
labor at South Shore Park threw
down their tools Thursday morning
in protest of a cut in their working
hours, hence their pay. Their ex-
ample was followed by groups in
other parks. With the quitting Of 100
men at So. 10th and Harrison, more
than 500 we're on strike Friday. There
is now in progress meetings of other
groups preparing to spread the strike.
Over 4,500 men work altogether on
these projects in Milwaukee County.
Immediately, the men sent mass
committees to Glassberg, relief head.
who refued to see them, saying "a
few agitators' were responsible for
the trouble. Mr. Glassberg issued
statements to the press in which he
said the men we're receiving suffi-
cient pay, and defended the cut in
their wages.
After May LIST, the workers on
county jobs who were working out
their relief rations, and had been
receiving certain portions Of their
wages in cash, were given cut in the
cash wages of from SO to $40 month.
This was done under the excuse that
the relief department was now is
suing shoes, which the men would
not have to buy while the warm
weather made it necessary for them
to buy fuel.

The workers have accepted the united
front with the Communist workers
with great enthusiasm. One strike
committee of five, for instance, is
composed of two Socialist, and three
Unemployed Council members. The
Unemployed Council and the Social
ist-controlled Unemployed Leagues
members are cooperating
When Supervisor Metcalfe, the
Socialist whose resolution year ago
introduced forced labor, tried to stop
large group of Socialist workers
from striking, he was unsuccessful.
He pleaded with the workers to keep
their heads" and wait till next week
before acting. But they answered by
voting to strike Immediately and
they did.
The Unemployed Council is calling
for the other workers on County and
City jobs to elect committees and join
the fight for the following demands
y Restoration of the cut in wages.
o An increase of Is per cent in
the cash allowances over the amount
given previously to the cut.
81 A minimum of $50 month cash
wages on county and city jobs with

MARITAL STATISTIC |
CLOCK MAY STOP
Economy May Cease Compil-
ing Of Figures on Mar
riage and Divorce.

Economy is threatening to stop the
statistical clock that clicks of the num-
Der of marriages and the number OF
matrimonial shipwrecks in the United
States annually.
After 55 years of steady grinding,
during which time system has been
perfected reaching into practically
every county seat in the country, the
Census Bureau now finds its appropria-
ton so limited that it may be forced to
cease compiling marriage and divorce
records
The figures come to the bureau from
county clerks, who are paid small fee
for their services. Last month, Census
Director F. L. Austin sent circular
letter to the clerks, requesting them to
send all statistics gathered to date, and
the bill for their services.
There is some doubt as to the con-
tinuation of this inquiry. even for the
remainder of the calendar year. 1888"
the letter said.
Most Marriages Success.
Should the county clerks cease this
function, the bureau would have access
only to State statistics. Sixteen States
keep divorce statistics and 20 marriage
statistics.
Meantime, hard times Americans
tended to stand pat on their domestic
relationships. Most of those who were
married stayed married; most Of those
who were single stayed single.
The stocy is told in figures collected
by the bureau through 1882. Only 7.87
new marital unions were affected for
each 1000 population. 1t was the f1rst
time in 81 years the number Of mar
riages fell below the million mark:
there were 981,759
Similarly. divorces dropped from ~
per cent in 1890 to Al per cent Iii
Time Low Is Reached.
Miss Alice Hagan, keeper OF the mar
rage and divorce statistics, said 1t was
safe to claim the 1882 rate was an all
time low since the trend was for the
marriage rates to get higher the farther
back one goes into the earlier, incom-
plete records.
One of the Census Bureaus axioms
reads like this:
1T is a well known fact that the
marriage rate responds quickly to
changes in economic conditions, in
creasing in periods of prosperity ana
decreasing after a commercial crisis"
down from 1929 to 1882: 10.14, els,
6.54, 7.87.
Hard times hit even the Nevada
marriage market" said Miss Hagan.
Due to CALIFORNIA; strict marriage
law, Nevada has hitherto been a host
to many marriage seeking couples as
we'll as those desiring divorces. but 1892
showed a IL per cent decrease Iii
marriages-and a 24.2 per cent decrease
In divorces
The divorce rate was on the upward
climb the entire time from 1887 until
the stock market crash of 1929. It has
fallen since then, however, 40 per cent
in 1880, Al per cent in 1881 and A.
per cent in the 1882 statistics all
nounced today.
There were 160,329 divorces granted
In the United States in 1882 as CON-
pared to 1873, ,664 in 1881.

OPENS MAR. c
Manager Buchanan An
nounces Premiere
at carolina"

Monday, March 6, at 7 p. m, is
the time set for the opening of
the new Carolina theatre, former
ly the Rex.
This announcement was made
today by Harry E. Buchanan,
manager of the theatre. Mr.. Buc-
hanan stated that a special pro-
duction will be selected to aid the
opening program. the program to
be announced at an early date.
There will be two complete per-
formances on the opening night
and the opening program will be
held over through Tuesday.
The theatre, it is said. will be
one of the most attractive in the
entire state, being designed along
atmospheric lines in the motif of
the Italian Renaissance. 1t is be-
ing erected by Capt. E. A. Smyth
to replace the old Rex theatre, de-
stroyed by fire. Erie G. Stillwell
is the architect.
"The new Carolina theatre is
being built for Hendersonville, and
we want it to serve the Hender-
sonville public in the broadest and
most thorough manner" said Mr..
Buchanan. owe think it will
please everybody more. however,
if they will refrain from peeping
into the building until the open
ing night. We think that if the
people do not see it until it is fin
ished. the pleasure will be greater
than if they stop in now to view
the progress of the work. 1t is our
desire that everybody except those
connected with the job remain
outside the building until later.
"The work is progressing splen-
didly and | can definitely say this,
the theatre will be something of
which the town can long be proud
and which will serve to draw more
people to our city to live, to play
or to transact business"

STRIKE BRINGS
MLLKLESS day
Wisconsin Price War Ac-
tive on a Hundred
Fronts Wednesday
BY WILLIAM A. MUELLER
United Press Staff Correspondent

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Feb. %.
(UP).-Farmers battled forces of
the law on at least 100 fronts yes
terday in the vast east central
Wisconsin territory which the
milk price rebellion has turned
into a veritable war zone.
So widespread and effective was
the rebellion that dairies here said
it appeared inevitable that many
residents Of this. the states larg-
est city must go without milk to-
day.
Overall-clad farmers blockaded
scores of highways with tirnbers
to keep milk trucks from the mar
kets and force up prices.
The farmers fought with fists
and crude weapons, pitched tents
along highways and stood guard
night and day. They disregarded
orders of their leaders, attacked
market bound trucks, beat driv~
ers, and battled deputies who tried
to dispense them.
Khaki-clad police led the oppos-
ing army, which was augmented
by companies of non-striking
farmers and special deputies. Fire
departments joined in the war and
drove back rebels with streams of
water.
The war zone stretched from
the states southern border along
Lake Michigan far past the tip Of
Green Bay. 1t almost blanketed Il
dozen counties which produce
more dairy products than any
other area of it's size in the ma
ton.
While the rebellion spread, the
man who started it all, Walter NJ.
Singler, met in Madison with
other farm leaders.
AS president of the State CO.
operative Milk Pool, Singler urged
immediate suspension of the strike
and organization Of a nationwide
embargo on all farm products #
the incoming national administra-
ton does not provide relief.
At the same time, Gov. Albert
G. Schmedeman said he would go
to Washington and urge immedi-
ate relief legislation.
Singler's statement was par
tial surrender to other farm lead
ers who urged him to end the re-
bellion and join later in a nation
wide purging if necessary.
Farmers. sensing victory. dlsre-
garded his plea.
"They're getting wilder all the
time" said Sheriff H. j, Kirsch OF
Washington county.

Mayor Anton J. Cermak of Chi-'

rose to political power as chief
executive of one of the worlds
greatest cities, passed his crisis
yesterday at 7 p. m. in his fight

DR.. Frank Jirka. one of the may

that he has shown definite turA
for the better. The mayor slept
well last night.
DR.. Jirka's announcement en-

Cermak was shot when Zangara
sought to kill President-elect
