In 1904 Duke William Ernest of Wei
mar fulfilled his dream of having a

Asmann, the famous Weimar clock
maker of that time created this
unique mechanism, which he also
fitted with wheel apparatus which
showed the progress of his Maecenas'

this clock, and on every day of the
week different picture with biblical
subject appears, to remind the duke of
his pious duties. For $50 years the
clock went perfectly. Suddenly it
stopped and sounded no more. The
interruption Of its mechanism is at
tributed to the disturbance caused
when later dukes ordered mechanics to
adjust the clock so that it would tell
the tale OF their lives as we'll.

That union officers even closer TO

Of the costly intralabor competition
also is apparent from the number and

In the last two weeks each COM

them have come from locals of inter-

Most Of them are duplicated to both

about evenly divided as to the af1ilia-
ton of the senders, although the
c. I. o. announced yesterday that Of
the first 157 such messages received
30 were from Federation unions and
so from c. I. o. unions, with the re-

Of these appeals for peace has in

LONDON, Nov. 6.-The refusal Of
Generalissimo Francisco Franco to
release five captured British ships
was disclosed by informed sources
today to have deadlocked negotia-
tions for trade agreement between
Great Britain and the Spanish in
surgent regime.
Franco was angered by the strong
British protest on the piracy sink
ing" Of the steamer Jean Weems,
these sources said, and withdrew
orders to free the five vessels he
still holds. The Jean Weems was
sunk without loss of life off the
Eastern Coast of Spain October 81
by an airplane marked with a desth's
head.
Britain made clear there was prima
facie evidence the plane was an
insurgent and delayed trade nego-
tiations pending receipt of a salts
factory answer.
Release of the freighters Caught
IN the insurgent blockade, informed
circles said, was to have been part
OF the general slate cleaning for
the agreement. They said that while
the situation was "difhcult" they
believed it could be cleared up and
the exchange of commercial egents
proceed.
Britain was disclosed already to
have consul at Seville, vice consul
at Vigo and an acting vice consul
at Bilbao, whose positions would
not be affected by the proposed COM
mercial accord.
