III UPON CURRY DOCK

"A very unusual incident
happened this aorning at
gCurTy's dock on Key Vests
waterfront when a Spanish
mackerel leaped about four
or five feet from the water
onto the pier upon which Viii
liam Guenther, winter visitor
from Hokah, Mimi. was stand
ing, which furnished MIR.
Guenther the surprise of his
life.
The visitor in company
with George Mills White,
called at The Citizen office
this morning, and told of the
experience.
He said that obtaining fish
without angling for them
was something new on him,
and he brought to the office
a part of the fish to prove
his statement.
A large school of the
mackerel were seen around
the docks this morning, and
MIR. Guenther advises other
visitors here to visit that Sec
tion of the waterfront, where
by they may gain the same
exrerience.
He says catching them
without line or net" should
prove great advertising for
Key West, and says he will
not fail to tell the folks back
home of his unusual expert
euce, and will recommend
that thew come to this city.
where fish of every variety
can be caught with very little
effort.

President Roosevelt's personal
representative, were present how
ever to laud the work of more
than seven years which for all
time chains destructive flood
waters of the 0keechobee region
and provides a safe, beautiful
water passage from Atlantic to
gulf for small vessel and barge
traffic.
Following an overnight stop
and entertainment Monday night
at Clewiston, the flotilla arrived
here late Tuesday afternoon.
Short ceremonies were held at the
draw of the Edison bridge as the
yacht Baroness, carrying Secre-
tary Roper, led the fleet into
port. At the pier a committee of
comedy Florida misses gave each
visitor a miniature brass ships
wheel, bearing a picture of a
palm-lined Fort Myers street, as a
souvenir of the event. Recep-
tons and cabaret dance and
floor show completed Tuesdays
entertainment.

What the Annalist terms a
Spectacular race between wages
and prices" constitutes the most
interesting and important recent
business occurrence.
Wage increase has followed
wage increase in a multitude of
leading industries. In many cases.
wages are above the boom-time
level, and are at all-time peaks.
However, labor heads are still far
from satisfied. They are, in some
instances, demanding further
wage boosts. In other instances
they are demanding shorter work.
ing weeks. without wage decreases
which, in effect, constitute wage
raises, inasmuch as industry's La
Dor cost per unit produced would
be lifted.
Without debating the many
faeeted subject of whether or not
labor deserves more money, it is
obvious that turgid situation
vitality affecting workers, stock
holders and management, is de-
veloping.
Unions are in stronger posi-
ton now than they have been for
many years. Furthermore, the
craft unions are at least momen-
tarily on the decline, and the in
dustr:al unions led by John L.
Lewis, are in the ascendent. The
A. F. of L. is no match for the
CLIO in aggressiveness or pulling
power. And the CI0, for good
or evil. has finally reached the
stage where it can make strong
demands on industry and feel
safe in achieving them.
For example, the steei indus
try is the great stronghold of the
"open shop" Yet steel has recent
ly officially a CIO committee as
a bargaining agent, and it is gen.
orally believed that it will aceede
to some Clio demands in such
matters as wages and working
hours. Reason for stee's "cap-
itulatior" is plain. 1t is looking
forward to a big production and
profit year-mills are operating

the Lewis ranks. Steel knows
that. in all probability, Mr.. Lewis
and his Clio could bring about an
almost complete cessation of coal
production by means of a strike.
So, rather than take a chance Of
being forced to shut down and
lose business, steel strings along"
with the unions. A remarkable
sidelight on this is found in Mr..
Lewis. recently published tribute
to the chairman of the Board of
U. S. Steel. Myron Tay.or. for his
aid and cooperation in settling
difficulties.
Higher wages naturally mean
higher prices for al manner OF
commodities and services. This is
where the race, referred to by the
Annalist, comes in. Will wages,
on percentage basis, outrun
prices? VIII the income Of the
public at large go ahead along
with rises in the price index? Win
the consumer accept higher prices
and not cut down his buying?
These are vital questions. which
only time can answer.
In the meantime, the reader
may consider it certain that prices
viii continue to go up all along
the line. Most commentators also
regard it as certain that shorter
hours and higher wages are in
evitably coming in most indus
tries. The Administration is at
least tactitly favorable to labor's
aim--state governments have
shown dissemination to enforce
the law in such matters as sit
down strikes. As a result, some
observers, even though sympa-
thetic with labor. are fearful that
unions may demand more than
the public can pay and cause a col
lapse in the rpswing in buying
and business.

CELEBRATIONOF
JEWISH EVENT TO
BEGIN ON FRIDAY
PASSOVER, FEAST Of EMAN.
cIPATIoN. WILL BE OBJ.
SERVED WITH SERVICES
AT LOCAL SYNAGOGUE

History's first emancipation
proclamation and earliest blow for
religious liberty viii be comment
Grated by Jewish peop.e through
out the world, Friday evening,
March &c, when they initiate the
holiday of Passover by telling
again the story of the Exodus
from Egypt.
Services will be conducted at
the local synagogue in accordance
with this event by Rev. Joseph
Male.
The Biblical tale is the central
feature of the Seder service which
is celebrated on the first night of
Passover at the family table, or,
as in many parts of the world to-
day, at community gatherings.
During the Seder service and
for the ensuing week, pious Jews
will refrain from eating leaven
and will partake of matzos, or I'M
.eavened bread, recalling the af-
Elections which their ancestors
suffered under the Pharaohs.
Besides its historic message of
freedom Passover also celebrates
the advent of Spring. This can
be traced to an ancient agricul-
tural aspect of the festival. In
Biblical times Passover marked
the barley harvest when all pious
Jews would make a pilgrimage to
Jerusalem and offer the first
fruits with joyful ceremony and
singing.
The emphasis in the holiday to-
day is placed upon the deliver
anee rom Egyptian bondage and
upon the influence which this
episode in Jewish history has
welded in the history of man
kind.
Over, three thousand years ago,
according to the story told in the
Book of Exodus, great number
of Jews dwelt in Egypt, and were
made slaves to the mighty Phar-
aohs. BY their labor they built
the mighty cities of Pithom and
Rameses. This physical slavery
signified likewise the extent of
their spiritual slavery.
AT that time of bitterness Moses
was born. From his youth he
championed the cause of righteous
ness and fought for the rule of
justice. He beheld the affliction
of his people and his sense of
Righteousness was stung to the
core.
With prophetic fire he thun-
dered forth the message of free
dom to all Egypt and finally sue
ceeded in leading the Jewish peo-
pie out of this land of bondage.
Recalling this historic epic the
Jewish people recite these happen
ings every year. For out of this
story mankind draws strength and
inspiration in its eternal struggle
against slavery and tyranny.
BY celebrating this Feast of
Passover Jewry the world over
voices its protest against the OPP
preston and spiritual slavery cur
rent in many lands today.
