International News Service

Two clergymen received checks
for $3.50 each from the New York
Shipbuilding Corporation after
they interjected themselves into
the labor controversy between
company officials and workers
last spring, the Senate Munitions
Committee was advised today.
The two were the Rev. John
Pemberton, jr., Camden, N. j., and
DR.. Harold Paul Sloan, Woodbury.,
N. j.
Both received their checks from
c. L. Bardo, then president of New
York Shipbuilding Corporation,
shortly after the labor troubles
were settled. There was no reply
from DR.. Sloan, but Mr.. Pember'
ton answered enthusiastically.
Appreciates 'Manna"
Mr.. Pemberton's letter to Mr..
Bardo, dated May II, 1884, said
in part
"Your very gracious letter
with the generous enclosure
came all Unexpectedly this
morning.

it as Moses must have been to

out OF the wilderness >. My ex-
perience as q worker In the yard :
stood me In good stead both in
appreciating the needs Of the
wOrkmen and also the cost Of
production ON the part Of the
company"
Another portion of the Pember-
ton letter recalled with pleasure
the clergyman's association with
Mr.. Bardo, and there was an
amusing. postscript, which follows:
II am still looking forward to
another bowl Of cream with
you"
Mr.. Pemberton, in one sentence
of his letter of acceptance, said
he accepted the check "in the
same spirit in which you sent it"
Letters to CIericS
. After settlement of the strike,
MIR. Bardo wrote identical letters
to two ministers in enclosing the
checks. Parts of his letter to Mr..
Pemberton, dated May Is, 1884,
follow:

BRITAIN TESTS
 SWIFT BOMBERS

London (U.P0-Little by little details are coming out of Britatn's new wonder plane, twin-engiKled medium sized bomber whcih can fly at 270 miles an hour, faster than any scout plane now in regular commission.
 The machine has been built by the Bristol Company. Tests by air force experts have revealed the plane is capable of attaining 8 speed of 270 miles an hour. This figure will doubtless be reduced when the machine is fitted with machine guns and other war ap- purtenances, but it still gives Brit. ain the fastest long-range bomber in the world.
 Having to do nothing to satisfy any requirements but their own, the Bristol Company made nuin- Der of startling innovations in planes of the type. The machine is low-wing monoplane, with Q re- tractable under carriage, fitted with two radial air-cooled engines with a combined horsepower of 1900. Instead of the usual longer-on type of construction for the fuselage, the fuselage was made on the mono cocque system," thus saving weight and space, and making the machine much less likely to suffer damage by enemy fire.

By FRAN KEITH

Francois, maitre d'hotel, at the Pompeii, surveyed the table before him pridefully. The immaculate linen, the silver properly placed, the flowers he had chosen, the food he had suggested, pleased him. The smart guests who sat at the table gave him a feeling of satisfaction. It was largely because of his con- summate art that they came here.
 He bent over politely to reply to a young lady's request. As he did so he caught sight of a small table near by. His first thought was that he must be mistaken. But no. There sat his wife.
 He knew at once why she had come. What if MT. Hayden should see her here? Francois grew pan- icky at the thought. MT. Hayden was the proprietor of the Pompeii,
 As inconspicuously as possible Francois made his way to her table. He kept his face expressionless as he said, Come with me-"
 Her eyes smouldered as she shook her head, "No, I'm going to stay here. Why should go?"
 You know that women don't come here unescorted."
 Who'll put me out?" she asked.
 "Please!" Francois entreated. T can't quarrel with you here. Go home. We'll talk about 1t at home. But go now. Please! Pleasel"
 "Yes! Go home. And leave you here where people are drinking and dancing and having @ good time. Go home to my ugly fiat where mo- body ever comes. And I'm always alone. Alone! I'm, sick of it. I'm going to tell MT. Hayden about you. I'm going to tell him that you leave me alone night after night. That you leave here at o'clock in the morning and don't get home until 5v"
 That isn't true," Francois said. How was he ever going to get her out of the restaurant without caus- ing a scene?
 T don't care if it's true or not. I'll tell him-and I'll divorce youl" she said, getting up to go.
 Francois followed her to the door. A light mist was falling. Gall Q cab," he said to the doorman.
 "So those were some of the wo- men who think you're so hand- some!" Louise said sarcastically as she stepped into the cab.
 Francois closed the door.
 Don't worry" she smiled, through the open window, "the walters have told me plenty. l don't think I'll have any trouble getting divorce"
 The doorman and the cab driver were interested spectators. Fran cois' despair turned to anger. It would serve her right if he called her bluff.
 Maybe you're right" he said. "If you want it, we'll get a@" there was a slight tremble in his voice as he added the unwelcome word, "di- vorce."
 AS she drove off, Francois went back to his party. The linen that had been gleaming white was dab bled with red wine spots. The flow CTS in their vases looked as dead as those that had been torn off for boutonnieres. The women who had looked so smart at the beginning of the dinner looked faded. Francois was sick of it all. Sick of every thing. Sick at heart.
 When he was finally able to leave the restaurant he decided to walk home. Perhaps he could think this thing out. But they had gone over the whole matter so many times be- fore.
 As he let himself into their small living room with his latch key he saw that Louise was serious this

row. He'll make all the necessary financial arrangements. Whatever suits you suits me-"
 As he lay in bed alone, unable to sleep, he thought of the first months of their married life that had been so happy. He tossed and turned and at dawn fell asleep.
 When the alarm rang at 10 o'clock he got up. Louise was asleep on the davenport.
 He let himself out of the house quietly. At the hotel he had some black coffee. Then he called Mir. Reed on the telephone. Come over at 2 o'clock" the lawyer said, "alld I'll take care of you"
 Francois went to MT. Haydenis office to explain that he would have to be away from the restau- rant for a couple of hours. And why? MT. Hayden wanted to know the whole story. He was very sym- pathetic. Francois found himself blinking away tears. | At 1:30 he changed his clothes and left. When he arrived at the Oll1CCo OA xtCCA, 4SCVA " 4$ASWAA v secretary led him to an inner of flee. MT. Reed sat behind large shiny desk.
 He looked at Francois over the rims of his glasses.
 "Everything's taken care of," he said. "Your wife's going to work at the Pompeii as hat check girl. She's tired of sitting around the house alone nights. I don't blame her."
 On Francois face there appeared a look of uncomprehending amaze- ment. But" he began

MYSTERY DEATH
 OF SCHOOL YOUTH

Boston, Oct. 29-(UP)-An el- derly and wealthy patron of an er- otic cult in Beacon Hills Bohemia was sought today in connection with the mysterious death of a Winthrop high school senior. This man, police said, had entertained and given money to Robert J. My then, 18, who disappeared while following Carol singers on Beacon Hill last Christmas eve. Mythen's body was found three months later in Charles River. The case was dropped following medical-exar11- iner's verdict of death by droWn- ing, but insistence by Miss Sarah Winslow, social registerite and friend of Mythen's sister, and members of the youths family led to the reopening of the investiga- ton.
 "The case involves factors which must be investigated" assistant at- torney-general Henry P. Fielding said. District-Attorney William J, Foley plans to call an inquest with in two weeks. According to relatives of Mythen including his sister Rose and brother -in-law, John Di Mento, the youth often discus sed his visits to Beacon hill. They said he mentioned 8 wealthy man who ha. given him money and had taken him to the theater on several occasions. The youth also was quot ed as saying the man invited him to go to Florida for the winter.

tigator of the labor department. Mrs. Theresa Sirica Crook of tnls city, connected with the labor de- partment, is carrying out investiga- tions for Commissioner Tone in other cities and towns of Connec- ticut in an effort to bring to light, if possible, further violations.
 It is possible that Waterbury may be brought into the limelight of the latest investigation. The state officials are not divulging their information at the present time but action is expected all over Connecticut that will result in nu- merous cases of prosecution.
 Answered "Ad"
 Miss Purtell found 8 girl work ing, she claimed, who answered an lad" of 8 cleaning establishment setting forth the hours of labor from 8. m. to 6 p. m., with one hour of for lunch. This compiled with the state labor laws relating to employment of women. The girls father is in 8 sanatorium Ill with tuberculosis.
 According to Miss Purtell, the girl worked four days and was then told by her employer that there was no pay as it was necessary for her to put that time in to learn the work. Then, according to Miss Purtell, the employer informed the girl that the hours of the job were from 8 a. m. to p. m. with no time of for lunch. For the 11-hour day and 66 hour week the girl re- ceived a weekly wage of $10. This, it is charged, was in violation of the state law relating to employ ment of women.
 Miss Purtell filed complaint re- sulting in the arrest of Edward Sarlin, 28, of 764 Garden street, Hartford, secretary of Publix- Cleaners, Inc, 5 South Main street, West Hartford. He was charged with obstructing an authorized representative of the state labor department and with violation of the 52-maximum work week for women which also provides for not more than g hours day for wo- men. Miss Purtell alleges that Sarlin refused to let her question one of his employees regarding her hours of labor. Sarlin last Saturday waived examination and was bound over to the Hartford superior court.
 Expected Here
 we feel this is only one of hun dreds of similar cases throughout the state," declared Miss Purtell. "The tragic dread of losing pitiful earnings keeps many young girls silent about conditions of employ ment. Because of the nature and number of complaints about these so-called cut-rate cleaning and dyeing firms which have reached our attention, the state labor de- partment will give added impetus to the drive to eliminate labor abuses in these establishments, J Miss Purtell added.
 Investigators are expected in Wa terbury any day.
