Rug Rivals
Trio -Covefs 2 OrientaIs;
Ownership in Doubt

The case of the Nine Oriental
Rugs is going to be a tough one
to unravel.
Three parties have laid claims
and rather than 60 to the ma,
with any one. Assistant Corpora
ton Counsel Nathaniel II. Gold
stick filed suit Saturday to get
them all on the carpet at the'sam
time.
The Orieptals are being held by
police. They are being coveted by:
(a) Karekin Adnasian, who says
the rugs were stolen from his
store at 1920 Broadstreet avenue.
(b) The Western Adjustment
and Inspection Insurance Com
mny. which alleges II paid Adna-
sian for said theft.
(c) Adolph and Betty Mushro,
929 East Grand boulevard, who
contend they bought same from
an itinerant peddler.
Each rug fancier is watching
the other to make sure he won't
be caught mapping. Goldstick
fears the case may floor the judge.

leading to adjustment of some

There was a growing belief

Text of Statement

WASHINGTON Sept. S (UPI-Following is the
text of President Roosevelfs Labor Day statement:
THERE has never been Labor Day significant
this one.
In great many countries free labor has ceased to
exist; backout of freedom has darkened Europe from
the tip of Norway the shores of the Aegean and sturdy
workngmen who walked erect in the Stun

The rights of free labor and free have vanished
in the conquered lands They threatened and beseged
everywhere. ~
THIS is indeed labor's grave hour it's the grave
hour of the farmer the industrialst, the teacher
and preacher the aproned housewife, the smallest child
in the cradle. +,
All these are the benefciares and heirs of the demo-
cratic system, and it is democracy itself that the evil
men of the West and East hate and seek to Destroy
Happily, our good right arm is strong and growing

They have stocked the furnaces and hurried the factory

They have made the planes and welded the tanks,

THIS is appropriate occasion to express my APP
probation to the working people of the United
States for the energy and devotion with which they have
met the demands of the present crisis.
They know what it is to work until muscles ache.
They know what it to be weary when the whistle
blows at the end of the shift.
They know, too, that democracy has made labors
