Biggest Cinnamon Fire

The biggest cinnamon fire ever
recorded was built by Nero as part
of the funeral rites for his wife,
Poppaea. 1t is said that he burned
more than a whole years impor-

pared to this funeral pyre, the one
built to honor Sylla, the Roman
general, was indeed a meager blaze
for only 2l0 "burthens Of spice"

Are We Making Progress or
Going Backwards?

The sheriff of Cascade county is
author of an article of recent pub
ncation in which he pleads for bet
ter cooperation between the public
and law enforcement. officers. He
indicts the public for its indiffer-
ence in matters of crime and law
enforcement. He says that If the
depIorable increase in crime is to
be stopped, the public must take
a greater interest in crime proven
ton and must cooperate more
heartily with law enforcement de-
partments.
One of the astounding character
istics of present-day life is the in
difference to crime. No one seems
greatly concerned about it. The pub
lie reads of endless Law violations,
it peruses accounts in the daily press
of some revolving crime and is mo-
mentarily shocked thereby, but
moves on in its placid way and does
nothing about it. 1.-THE concern is
not NINE" says the average citi-
zen, ''let the other fellow look after
that" W
II the people of Libby or any
other community were really con-
cerned about crime or other unsat-
isfactory conditions in their COM
munities, they could very soon cor
rect those conditions if they joined
forces with law officers in deter
mined and relentless manner. But
there is no such determination in
the average community Instead,
there is an apparent Indifference
that is astounding.
The Cascade sheriff refers to the
increase in crime" and to condi-
tons that are '.degenerating our
young citizens into greater num-
Der of criminals each year" In
spite of all our boosted progress, in
spite of the claims we make for do
ing things SO much better than they
used to be done, IN spite Of our
improved methods and great sums
of money expended in social work,
In spite of wider education, in spite
of our science and our skill, the
constant increase of crime. espec-
tally among the young, is indis-
putable evidence that there is a
most fearful flaw somewhere in the
methods pursued And one would
not have to look very far to find at
least one factor that contributes to
that flaw.
But read what the Cascade sheriff
has to say IN part Of his article.
One of the serious problems oil
law enforcement today is that OF
the increase of crime This prob
lem does not confront us alone but
every state, county and municipal
ity throughout the land. It is a
problem that is causing deeper con-
Germ as each year passes by. Per
haps there are none who realize it
more than the law enforcement Of
ficers themselves, whose duty it has
been to undertake to curb its ever
lasting increase Efforts have been
made scientifically to get at the
root or foundation of its cause and
yet no one has SO far diagnosed the
cause to the extent of finding the
remedy or cure.
THE fact is it is not alone prob
lem for peace officers to solve. if
the situation is ever to be curbed
to any apparent noticeable decrease
The fault apparently lies with the
public to a great extent, in assum-
ing that because they have servants
to enforce the law, it is their bust
ness alone to do SO. This is great
mistake, one that is degeneratine
our young citizens into greater

THE DODO BIRD

There was once a bird called the dodo and it be-
came extinct because it sat down the business of
laying. The hens went on strike
The cry in America today is for shorter hours,

If America holds her own with the rest of the
world she will raise more cotton more corn, more
hogs more cows, make products, do it more
cheapy, and then outsell the rest of the world at

The only way we shall ever maintain our higher

ity to increase production. Yankee ingenuity made
us what we are, and if we lay down on that we may

LANSING. March 90 G.N.SO.
With John L. Lewis absent, Gov
ernor Frank Murphy'S peace"
conference on the Chrysler strike
was resumed at 1920 a. m. today.
While the absence of Lewis in
dictated to some observers that
settlement of the strike might be
delayed a few days, Governor Muir
ply declared an agreement could
be reached without Lewis being on
the ground.
He said the conference would be
in telephone touch with the c. I.
O., chieftain who was forced to
return to New York to work on q
new coal miners contract.
Martin Subs for Lewis
The union side was represented
in today's conference by Homer

man, C, I. o., counsel, and Rich

director of the c. 10. T..
Walter P. Chrysler, chairman Of
the board Of the ChrySler corpora
ton; K. T. Keller, president, and
B. F.. Hutchinson, vice president,
headed the Chrysler delegation Of

James F. Dewey, Federal Con-
ciliator, represented the United
States Department Of Labor.
Bargaining Big Issue
The U. A. w. is demanding the
right to be recognized as the sole
bargaining agency for all of
Chrysler's $1,000 employees, to
which ChrySler objects.
Both sides have submitted many
written proposals to each other,
but haven't been able to get to-
gether on the precise wording Of
an agreement on this issue.
They have been splitting hairs
on the extent of the U. A. w. bar
gaining power. At one stage, Gov
ernor Murphy said the opposing
forces were only lone sentence"
apart.
Martin Talks
Before entering the conference
room today Martin and Fraken-
steen said that should the United
States Supreme Court give an ad-

WIFE CHARGES
BROKER MATE
STOLE BABY
Mrs. Wallace Groves
Seeks Lawyer Aid
to Recover Son

NEW YORK, March 20 G.N.S0.
Accusing her husband, Wallace
Groves, wealthy broker, of having
their two-lnonth-old son spirited
away from her apartment, beauti-
full Mrs. Monaei Lindley Groves
today sought legal aid to find the
baby and have him returned.
The Groves rift occurred fol-
lowing a yacht cruise with friends
from Miami and back.
On her return, Mrs. Groves was
summoned to the bedside of her
father, seriously i'll in Philadel-
phia. After spending a night with
him, she came to New York to
find her apartment in confusion
and her baby missing. She charged
that a nurse employed by her hus-
band had taken the baby. Today,
bordering on hysteria and under
doctors care, she declared:
II want my baby. He should
be with me. MY husband and 1
have had our Spats, but we have
not had a serious quarrel since
our marriage three years ago."
Groves arrived in New York last
night under a police escort, after
flying from Miami to Newark Air
port. Airport officials had re-
ceived a telephone call, warning
them Groves would be shot on ar
rival. The warning was traced to
Groves sister, Mrs. Howard Bur-
ton, Of Baltimore, who later said
it was a mistake"
Groves was accompanied from
Newark to New York by two fash
ionably dressed women. After
reaching the city, he made q
change of taxicabs and disap-
peared.
Groves is reported to have made
more than $1,000,O 900 in 1892 and
1888 in stock transactions. He is
now president of the Phoenix Sc

years Of solidarity, today stood
divided on the increasingly critical
issue of the sit-doWn strike-with
the American Federation of Labor
lined up bluntly against this new
method Of union warfare.
A statement issued by William
Green, president, put the A. F. OF
L. on record against the sit-down,
as illegal, futile and dangerous.
He said. in concluding his de-
nunciation:
II therefore publicly warn Ia
Dor against this illegal prOce-
dure. And officially 1 disavOw
the sit-down strike as a part of
the economic and organization
policy Of the American Fedora
ton Of Labor"
The Federation's presidents an
nouncement came as the forces Of
John L. Lewis Committee for In
dustrial Organization swept into
greater power with the Sit-down
as its ace in the hole. Lewis him
self has never issued a statement
defending the sit-down, but he
has not condemned it, and his
c. I. o. unions have used 1t with
crushing effect.
Detrimental to Labor"
Green said:
The std, wn strike has never
been approved or supported by
the A. F. of L. because there is
involved in its application grave
implications detrimental to Ia
boris interests. 1t must be dis
avowed by the thinking men
and women of labor"
He set out two major reasons
for disavowal Of the sit-down. His
statement continued:
First, public opinion will not
support Sit-dOwn strikes. That
means labor loses public support
when any part of it engages in
sit-dOWn strikes. without such
support organized labor cannot
win strikes or establish and
maintain itself as a vital force.
WARNS OF INJURY
Second, temporary advan-
tages gained through Sit-dOwn
strikes will inevitably lead to
permanent injury. The public
l1ry yr,iIl InVn~ fnlora IA
the illegal seizure of property.
If persisted in it will, through
State and Federal law-making
bodies, force the enactment of
legislation providing for COM
pulsory arbitration, the incOrpO-
ration of unions and other re-
presSive forms of legislation
which will deprive organized Ia
Dor of freedom Of association
and liberty of action within the
limitations of both moral and
statutory law.
Labor, therefore, runs the risk
Of losing more than can be
gained by engaging in Sit-dOwn
strikes. 1t must be free to strike
against injustice and oppression
and for higher wages and better
living standards. 1t must be per-
mitted to picket when strikes
occur. 1t may be greatly re.
stricted and perhaps denied the
exercise of these elemental rights
IL it persists in engaging in sit
down strikes"
