Take Nv Word for 1t

It Is surprising that many people
of good education sound the second
syllable of America as muir" to
rhyme with purr, burr. Willkie was
much criticized for his "murr" pro-
|nunciation during the campaign OF
1910.
Correctly pronounced, the second
syllable Of America is given the short
"eh" sound as in merit, merry, Mer-
rimack,. never the "urr" sound in
mercy. Correct pronunciation:
uh-MEHR-i-kuh.
Andrew Carnegie pronounced his
surname: kahr-NAY-ghee (hard e"
as in "ghost'D. It should be so
pronounced.
Public speakers should watch the
tendency to telescope such three
syllable words as annual ("AN-yull") /,
history ("HISS-tree"), battery
("BAT-ree"), etc. The words should
have three syllables, thus: AN-yoo-
I'll; HISS-tuh-ree; BAT-er-ee.
Here are number OF other words
which should have three gyllahles:

Express Workers Say
Pickets Will Tie Up
New York Stations
By the Associoted Pres.

NEW YORK. Mar. IA union
threat to tie up New York's two
big railroad passenger stations
added new complications today to
dispute that has snarled railway
express shipping here.
A union official said picket lines
may be thrown around PennSylva-
MIA and Grand Central Stations
a move which he said would halt
operations at the two terminals.
Daniel j. Sullivan, general chair
man of the express division of the
AFL Brotherhood of Railway and
Steamship Clerks, made the threat
yesterday in reprisal for what he
called a lockout" by the Railway
Express Agency.
Says 5000 Are Locked Out.
He said 5000 employees in freight
terminals. depots and sorting sta
tions in New York and Northern
New Jersey have been locked out
as the result of a work showdown
by express workers.
The showdown started three
days ago in protest against what
the union termed company STALL
ing" in contract negotiations now
going on in Chicago.
Claiming employees were failing
''to carry out their assigned
duties" the company yesterday
laid off LIT men. and said the
employment of about 1900 other
package handlers and drivers
would be terminated by tomorrow.
Reports Washington Layoffs.
Mr. Sullivan said $500 others
had been laid off in Washington,
Baltimore and Philadelphia.
Although the company did not
confirm this, an official said it was,
likely that layoffs would result
In cities throughout the country
as result of the paralyzing sit
uation here.
An embargo has been clamped
on all less-than-carload express
shipments into and out of the
metropolitan area, which handles
25 per cent of all express shipped
in the United States This means
that points outside New York can
not accept packages for delivery
here, nor can parcels be accepted
here for delivery elsewhere.
Seeks Pressure on Railroads.
Because of the showdown, the
company says it plans to keep
only 1000 supervisory and Office
workers on the job out of total
of some 10000 workers in 10 ter
minals and Sc depots i'll the
metropolitan area.
Mr. Sullivan said the threat
ened picketing of the two big pas
senger stations, for which no date
was set, was contemplated to
force the railroads to bring pres

agency is owned by major rail-
roads.
He said the picket lines would
be respected by ticket sellers, Of

some maintenance men. all BROTH

first be approved by council of
local unions and by international
officers, he said.
