 Up Protest Papers
 For Property Owner

Show cause and mandamus proceedings will be instituted in Superior Court within a few days against City Tax Assessor Aldro Jenks, Mayor John S. Mona gan, and Corporation Counsel Mau- rice T. Healey, 1t was reported to- day by Attorney William P. Werth- elmer, who said he is drawing up the legal papers in behalf of sin- gle private property owner, who has been aggrieved by the revalua- tion program.
 Although the action will be based on statutory and legislative pro- visions relating to the duties of the three city officials, it will be aimed principally against the as- sessments given by the tax asses Sor for focal industrial property, Atty. Wertheimer indicated.
 Pointing to legislative provisions calling for flair and equitable" as- sessment of property, Atty. Werth- elmer charged today that the as- sessments given industrial firms are out of keeping with the appraisals listed by the Securities Exchange Commission of New York and with the property valuation reports giv- en by the firms to their Stockhold- CTS.
 Await Mayors Return
 The legal battle will begin roll- ing as soon as Mayor Monagan returns from his vacation and de- mand can be made upon him to enforce the statutory, legislative, and ordinance provisions which re- quire flair and equitable" assess ments, Atty. Wertheimer stated.
 If the preliminary demands can be made by Tuesday, the attorney will appear before Superior Court Judge Francis A. Pallotti at that time and ask him to issue a show cause order against the three off,

and stirring report on the blacklist
days Of the war. 1t shows the stark
courage Of the British people more
clearly than we have ever under
stood before. It deals with the perl
cd in which they lost Singapore with
a hundred thousand men, who were
badly needed In the middle east.
That was in December 194l. In Sept.

been torpedoed. In November their
biggest aircraft carrier and the bat
tleship Barham were sunk in the
Mediterranean. On Dec. 9th the
Prince Of Wales and Repulse, two
of their best, were sunk in the Gulf
Of Siam. (Two days before that our
battle fleet in the Pacific had been
destroyed in Pearl Harbor). On Dec.
10th the Valiant and Queen Eliza

were torpedoed in the harbor Of
Alexandria. This left the British no
battle fleet in the Mediterranean
(The Italians had five battleships).

to block, if possible, a Jap invasion
of Australia. The British fell back
nearly to Alexandria Uater to make

tons of merchant shipping was sunk

war picture was about as black as
it could be. Did the British quail?
Not for an instant. They held with
the traditional bulldog courage as
at Malta. They won air-breadth
victories as Alemain. They rebuilt
the Fleet and exterminated the

no more shining example of pure
grit than the English, Scotch, Welsh

AFL SETTLES FILM
JOB CONTROVERSY

Washington, d. ca special COM
mittee of the American Federation of
Labor set up detailed jurisdiction
boundaries for its various unions in
Hollywood movie studios, in a decision
ending long controversy.
The committee, consisting of Felix
II. Knight of the Brotherhood of Rail
road Carmen, w. c. Birthright of the
BARRIERS Union, and w. c. Doherty of
the Letter Carriers, was delegated by
the AFL Executive Council to make
final settlement of the 7-month dis
pute.
Unions involved are the Painters,
Decorators and Paperhangers; Elec-
tricians; Plumbers and Steam Fit
tels; Building Service Employees; Ma
chinists; the Carpenters, and the
theatrical Stage Employees, and Nov
ing Picture Machine Operators.
The special committee said that it
unanimously agreed that the best So
lution to the controversy would be "a
division of work designations within
the industry patterned after previous
agreements negotiated mutually by
the various crafts"
Each jurisdictional question was
decided by the committee according
to this policy after extended hearings
and after personal inspection at a
Hollywood studio of the various types
OF work involved. The decisions are
final and binding on all parties.

FARM PROSPERITY
HINGES ON WAGES

Washington, d. C-The American
farmer starts the New Year leaving
behind him the most prosperous IL
months in history. His gross income
for 1916 hit $24,2OO, 100000, accord
ing to the United States Department
of Agriculture.
Why were farmers unusually pros
porous last year? Because, Secretary
of Agriculture Anderson emphasizes,
industrial and other city workers gen.
orally were fully employed and earn
ing higher-th ordinary wages.
"The city worker had plenty of food
dollars to spend" Anderson says, "and
they spent those dollars right over
the farmers counter.
"They spent more than 80 billion
dollars for food, a third Of their en-
tire consumer outlay.
Contrast that with 1888, when con-
sumers had only 1k billion food dol
lars, and after the middleman took
his toll there was mighty little left
for the farmer"
The surest safeguard against an
other crash for agriculture, Anderson
says, is full production and full en-
ployment, with lots of food dollars
going into pay checks"

Columbus Hannah secretary
treasurer Of the Ohio State Federation
of Labor, this week demanded that
special session of the legislature be
called to correct unfair Disqualified
tions in the Ohio Unemployment Com
pensation Law.
In letter to Gov Frank Lausche,
Hannah said that thousands of Ohio
workers are suffering needless hard
ships during this critical period of
reconversion from war to a peace
economy because of unfair disqualifi-
cations in the unemployment compen-
sation law"
He reminded the governor that the
disqualifications existed because s'the
General Assembly refused to write
suitable work definition into the un-
employment compensation act"
1T is not fair or common sense or
in the interest Of the welfare of this
great state that skilled, semi-skilled
and specially workmen are re-
fused benefits because they cannot ac-
cept job referrals as restaurant work
ers and other service employment.
Skills Become Dull
Such employment not only dulls
their skills and nullifies their special
training and experience but actually
prevents them from finding jobs for
which they are best suited and at
which they can produce the best for
themselves and for the community"
Hannah said.
