large crowd was present at OuI
last meeting to hear the report Of the
committee appointed by our Local to
investigate apprentices being placed Oh
the dish jigger in two local plants.
The agreement reads that when a
dish jiggering job Is open, dish
maker from the bench has the prefer
ence and if there is none available, the
fiat ware jiggerman should get the
preference.
Take the case of a jiggerman max
ing 7-inch flat ware, who has been
working for firm for fifteen or twenty
years, and as finch Is conceded by
everyone to be under paid, we feel that
when Il dish jigaering job is open and
no dish maker from the bench avail
able, the fiat ware jiggerman should be
advanced to the dish jigger.
We feel the action taken by these
films in placing apprentices on the dish
jigger, leaving the older employees on
the harder and less paid job is a vio-
lation of our agreement and we intend
to see that this practice is stopped.

Local Union No. 86
Display Honor Roll
For Men In Service
10 Per Cent Of Membership
Now In Armed Forces Of
Their Country

Local Union No. S6 met Monday
dent Joe Hester, presiding.
The Trustees who were instructed at
our last meeting to investigate our
finances in regards to purchasing more
War Savings Bonds certainly worked
fast. Another fine piece of work by the
Trustees was an Honor Roll with the
names of the boys now In the service,
to hang in our meeting hall. This we
think should remind us of the sacri-
fees these boys are making and also
should be reminder, to back these
boys up with our purchases of War
Savings Bonds and Stamps.
With a membership of a little over
five hundred members Local SO can
proudly boast that 10 per cent is now
in the service of their country, with
many more to go in the near future.
We are sorry to report of the sus-
pension of five of our Brothers for non
payment of dues. These Brothers who
were repeatedly warned that drastic
action would be taken unless they made
arrangements to pay up at our last
meeting, failed to appear: Tavern
Marshal, James Pryor, Jr., Harold
Worting, Harry Simmons and James
Pethel.
When you think that for $500 these
Brothers could have saved themselves
the $500 reinstatement fee, not to
mention the insurance cOverage which
they also lose in being suspended. They
not only hurt themselves, but their
loved ones are made to suffer also. So
Brothers, check your dues book and
makes sure that this does not happen
to you.

Since the auxiliary unit was formed
there has been marked decline in the
number of accidents caused by reck-

highway accident victims ha.ye been
given first aid treatment.
While they do not have police powers
members of the auxiliary unit are
given cards to report traffic violations,
indicating name Of county, number of
highway, approximate distance from
nearest town, type Of offending car, its
license number and hour of the day the
violation was observed. The card is
mailed to the state department of pub

letter to the viOlatOr calling attention
to the violation, urging him to be more
careful and asking him to cooperate
in the state traffic safety program.

Third Mongol Invasion

Toward the end Of the 18th century came
the Mongol invasion-this time by Timur
(Tamerlane), coming from Turkestan. On
September IA, 1895, he destroyed Tana, a
Furnishing italian colony on the mouth of the
Don. He also despoiled the Crimea.
Within that same year one Matthew, a
monk sent to the Crimea by the Patriarch
Of Constantinople, in a long Latin poem on
his travels devoted 153 of its lines to a de-
scription Of the Gothic stronghold Mangup,
which he called Theodore. Evidently he found
it a stately place with a citadel, battlemented
towers, palaces with p~orticos and fountains,
temples with rows of columns and sculptured
sepulchres filled with heaps of skeletons and
detached skulls. From the poem we learn
that Tamerlane's forces invested Mangup
nine long years. The siege was lifted only
after Tamerlane's death in June, 1904. Then
what was left Of the original kingdom of Goth
la became free of the Tartar yoke.
Still some Gothic was spoken in the war
ridden principality. We have this on the evil
dence Of one of Tamerlane's Christian mer-
cenaries, a Bavarian soldier of fortune, named
Hams Schiltberger. This man, having be-
come a Turkish prisoner Of war after the
battle Of Nicopolis, 1896, took service in the
Tartar army and served Tamerlane six years.
In chapter Sc of "Schiltberger's Reysebuch"
he describes the Crimean city of Karkery
(now Chufut-Kale) and its neighboring town
Of Serucherman, where he said the people

talked "Kuthia Sprauch", meaning Gothic
speech.
At that time Alexis Of Theodore was ruling
prince in Gothia. He was of the noble family
of the Gabrades Of Trebizond, who had inter
married with the Gothic princes. John, his
oldest son, married Maria, an Azar princess,
related both on her fathers and her mothers
side to the Palaeologs Of Constantinople. One
of her sisters was married to the last Emper-
or of Trebizond. Alexis second son was
Olobei, next to the last ruler Of Gothia, pre-
sently to become extinct.
