SUPREME DICTATOR-ELECT,
 LOYAL ORDER OF MOOSE

Cleveland, Ohio, Sept. 1O-William J. Egan, assistant attorney general of New Jersey, was today unani- moulsy elected Supreme Dictator of the Loyal Order of Moose by the delegates to the 49th annual inter- national convention of this frater- nifty. His one-year term of office be- gins immediately.
 MT. Egan is fully qualified for this important office, the highest elective post in the Moose. He has had much experience in serving his fel- low men by assuring their security and comfort While director of pulp lie safety for the City of Newark, N. J., he was daily concerned with their welfare. AS Supreme Dictator of the Moose, he charges himself with the additional responsibility of helping to care for widows and or phans and for the aged-two vast missions of this worldwide frater- nity, as expressed in the Moose child city of Mooseheart. in Illinois, and in Moosehaven, the Moose home for the aged in Florida.
 An interesting fact about MT. Egan's successful career is that he began 1t within one hundred miles of his present home. Lambertville, N. J., where he was born on June g, 1888, is on the extreme western side of the state, overlooking the Delaware river. Newark is on the eastern side. Hence, while others went far afield to seek fortune, MT. Egan found his horizon, figuratively, just over the hill.
 Attending St. Johns Parochial School and Riders College at Tren- ton, he next went to the New Jersey Law School and upon graduation he became a member of the New Jer- sey State Bar. He began to prac- tice law in Newark and his practice resulted in much success. Blessed with charming personality as well as a keen insight into human affairs, 1t was but logical that his fellows should choose him for city clerk and it was but 8 step from that position to his present one.
 MT. Egan is an ardent Moose. He joined Newark lodge in 1910, when the order was still young and strug- gling. For eleven years he served the lodge as secretary, was for a time its dictator and is now life member. He was the first great north Moose of New Jersey legion and was president of the New Jer- sey State Moose Association for three years.
 Advancing to office in the Supreme Lodge, he was member of the ju- dietary committee, 1931-32; was elected supreme councilman in 1882, was unanimously elected supreme prelate in 1885, supreme vice dictator in 1886, and supreme dictator in 1897.

this morning for the Connecticut Federation of Labor convention m New Haven but before doing so had instructed Coutermanche to issue a statement denying one made last evening to the effect that the men had returned to work without any change in pay rates.
 Meeting Today
 The strikers, who have been ont at four local concerns for the past week, assembled this morning at the building trades council hall on Scovill street, it was further stated by MT. McGurks spokesman.
 The firms involved in the strike are the A. F. Taylor O., the John son Paint Shop, Carl G. Carlson and E, J. Nelson. Harry Ross of the Johnson concern sasid today that about half his men had re- turned, Patrick O'Brien of the A. F. Taylor stated that some of his men returned to work, E. J. Nelson could not be reached today and Carl G. Carlson had no statement at all to make.
 Pay Cut
 The strike was originally called when difficulty arose over a slight decrease in the painters wages. The union claimed that the four companles involved had cut the pay from nine to eight dollars per day. On the other hand, company of- ficials stated that members of their concerns have been working for other concerns or privately for lower wages and that this breach of contract was the cause of the reduction of the wage level.

Tea Is Given
At Spanish
Embassy
Sonora de Los Rios
Was Hostess
Yesterday.
BY KATHARINE BROOKS.

- ENORA DE LOS RIOS. wife Of

hostess yesterday afternoon at
- tea in the embassy when her
guests were hostesses in cabinet, diplo-
matte and oh1cial circles, with small
number from the unofficial group.
The spacious house which now is
owned by the Spanish government,
was planned for the home of the Vice
President of this country by its
builder, the late Mrs. John B. Hem
derson, who not only was far-sighted
in the building Of embassies and lega-
tions on Sixteenth street, but had a
pride to see the official of the second
rank in this country supplied with a
hitting abode. The late Mrs. Hender-
son agitated for its purchase by the
Congress when the late Calvin Cool
idge was Vice President. Mrs. Hem
derson was unsuccessful in convincing
the Congress of the need for such a
| house and so the Spanish government
obtained it for its embassy.
Sonora de los Rios received her
guests in the large drawing. room to
the left of the great entrance hall.
She wore becoming gown OF sapphire
blue velvet, fashioned with a long.
fiaring skirt and the bodice, made
nigh in the neckline, had long, flowing
sleeves. She wore no jewels except the
diamond and sapphire ornament at
the neck Of the dress, and the simplic-
lty OF her hair arrangement, parted
IN the middle with braid about her
mead, enhanced her cameo-like fea-
lures. Sonora de los Rios not only
mas a charming personality but she
mas lace which shows not only intel
hgence above the average, but kindli-
ness and keen interest in people and
analrs. She had assisting her the
wives OF two Of the members of the
Embassy staff, Sonora de PittaluQa
and Sonora de Pizarro, both newcom-

and left Sonora de Espil to remain
and enjoy the conversation.
