Members of Branch 35. Ameri-
can Federation of Hosiery Work
ers. voted to strike when the COM
panies. it is alleged. failed to COM
ply with demand for recognition of
the union affiliated with the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor.
The companies had been given
until midnight last night to comply
In addition to recognition, the
union demanded. according to Will
liam Smith, Philadelphia, union
secretary treasurer, that the COM
panies sign the national labor
board agreement and price scale.
Charges Wages Too Low
Mr.. Smith said IS per. cent of the
hosiery mills of the country have
signed the agreement and that the
Real Silk plant is the only large
hosiery mill in the country not
signing. He charged that the To-
cal wage scale is from 10 to 40 per
cent below the wage scale set by
the agreement.
The strikers, after voting the
walkout, thronged streets in vicinity
of the three mills but remained or
derby and peaceable, giving nearly
a dozen squads of police on duty in
the vicinity no occasion to inter-
fere.
MIL workers who did not join the
strike were not molested when they
sought to enter the plants.
During the morning, many
strikers. who had been up all night,
returned to their homes More
than 1000 went to Eagles hall, on
Vermont street. between Illinois and
Meridian streets, and listened to
addresses by Mr.. Smith and other
organizers.
Meet Again Tomorrow
They adjourned at noon with in
structions to meet again at 1890
a. m. tomorrow in the garment
workers hall.
MIR. Smith praised the workers for
the quiet. orderly conduct, and also
compllmented manner in which po-
lice handled the situation.
He said indications point to early
success for the union in its de-
mands.
Real Silk officials said that out
of total of 5000 employees of the
plant. only 400 we're on strike. 1t
was explained that some depart
ments work in two shifts and only
2400 we're scheduled to start work

being on the 2::30 p. m. shift.
Union organizers claimed only
about 215 Real Silk employees, a

Two Are Small Mills
Ofhcials of the Fulton and Ma

small mills, and were not operat-

said that about twenty-five knitters
in each plant went on strike, and
because of this fact, number of
other employees, not striking, were
unable to work.

not to strike, but that it ignored

Hanging 1t on the General

IN their early married life, about 1917 Ruth and
Haywood constantly were getting into situations.
They would register at hotel Haywood Broun
and Miss Ruth Hale and this almost invariably
called for a long explanation and pep talk from
Ruth to puzzled room-clerk on a woman's right to
her identity and the scope and purposes of the
Lucy Stone movement
There might be a compromise proposal from the
clerk They would let her sign in as Miss Hale but
would write Mrs. Haywood BrOun in parentheSis
for the sake Of the record and would that be all
right? No, that wouldn't be all right She wasn't
Mrs. Haywood Broun. She wasn't anybody but
Ruth Hale and no room clerk or formality could
make any one else of her.
Possibly, when all was explained and Mr. Broun
and Miss Hale installed in their quarters the
hotel people fouled her to the extent of writing
NIIs. Haywood Broun) without her knowledge.
Old General Robert Lee Billiard was among the
early victims of the confusion The general was
distinctly Od-schoO He probably had not heard
of Lucy Stone and, in all his experience with the
civilized tribes, the wife took the husbands name
One afternoon in Lyons when Haywood was the
New York Tribune's with the A. E. F. he and
Ruth met General Billiard on the street Incidental
Iy, Mr.. Broun was not the most soldiery figure in
the A. E. F., and he and Ruth strolled along he
was eating jam tarts out Of a paper bag and had
traces OF the powdered sugar his whiskers. l

THE peaceful scene pictured in the Book of
Genesis when Adam was on terms of friendship
with all the animals in the Garden Of Eden NAV
have had its counterparts in many regions of Asia
during the early days Of mankind That is the con-
clusiOn Of DR. Walter Hough curator of anthropology
at the Smithsonian Institution Washington who
announces new theory to account for the domesti-
cation of animals
He believes that domestication arose out of amity
and not through mastery In support Of this theory
he points to isolated parts of the world where ami
mails exhibit no fear Of men His thesis is that fear
arises among animals only when it is engendered by
the actions Of men
Most domestic animals are believed to have come
from Asia, and there, according to Dr. Hough early
man had temperament especially adapted to in
Spire friendship and confidence among the animals
The fear that is engendered in animals by hap
penlngs out Of the ordinary" says DR.. Hough, "is
a protective device Where for a period of IN
determined length, animals not subjected to fear
the protective device is obiterated, becoming use
less function"
IN new territories, the discharge or firearms and
Il the light and smoke of campfres soon puts an
end TO this Eden-lke simplicity DR. Hough says
Before long" he continues, fear is displayed
often in an exaggerated degree, and the animals
become educated in evading dangers
The inventions of man for the capture Of ami
mails require increasing refnements TO be effective
There Is no doubt that most animals are apt stu
dents in the school of experience"
In support Of his theory, DR.. Hough calls atten-
ton 70 the fact that there are remote zones where
animals are unaccustomed TO fear.
One such zone was found in Tibet by naturaists
OF the British Mt. Everest expedition he says In
this case the naturasts we're allowed to observe the
animals but not TO collect or disturb them these

ONE Of the rarest of all mammals in scientific

those big hunks of earth you see

points out.
The difficulty now, with our
rivers, low from the drought, is
to keep them at the proper stage.
Inland beaches along the banks
would serve as water reservoirs
as well as a food control measure.
THE river always would have
some place to go-and that place
would be a bathing beach, where
it would do the most good to
suffering populace."
THAT place is treeless now, but
you can transplant trees twenty
feet tall. Men need jobs, don't
they?"

mentally with the future planned

bread.

ings, taking the place of novels
and tin-can homes now along

street to the rear Of CriSpus
Attacks high school.
In these sectit ms now poverty
sits on every rickety stoop. Homes
pride themselves more on the
color of the rags stuffed in broken
windows to keep out inclement
weather than in paint. Detection
