northern provinces, that it is es- j
timated that three-fourths of the

better than they who earned their
keep.

WORKERS FIGHT TO
HOLD THEIR GROUND
STOCKHOLM, March 2,^ (/Pi
Backed by political power, as a
result of their organized strength,
the working men cf Sweden, Nor
wa yand Denmark are fighting to
keep up their standard of living.
The employers, also organized,
are becoming more determined
on readjustment.
Denmark, recently threatened
with a lockout which would have
involved 125,000 men and which
had the earmarks of a lengthy
struggle, has the most visible evi
dence of the unity of the working
class in Scandinavia. The indus
tial strike was averted when par
liament outlawed both lockouts
and strikes for a year.
In Sweden the situation is being
revealed, indirectly, by political
opposition to plans of the new7
social-democrat government to
float large loans for payment of
standard wages on unuemployment
for relief projects.
Norway, with memories of the
general strike in 1931, is moving
cautiously in seeking legislation to
make practically all forms of boy
cott impossible.
Finland, by contrast, with a de
cided lack of organized labor, has
managed to cut production costs
to the bone, to the advantage of
foreign trade, but lowered the
standard of living.
NOGALES, Ariz., March 2, — j
Border and immigration officers
were ordered to be on guard for

has resulted in evacuation of more

week, officials said.

IC1 WILL SOON
BE READY FOR DIB
[ TESTS: MUCH 11
AKRON, O., March 2, t/P)—The
U. S. S. Macon, sister ship to the
Akron, is now breathing gas into
her mammoth lungs preparatory
to test flights early this month.
Her completion and acceptance
by the Navy will mark the fulfill
ment of a five-year program that
was launched in 1927 when the
government announced a design
competition that resulted in the
building of the world’s two largest
airships and dock at a cost of
nearly SffT000,000.
A delegation from Georgia and
the City of Macon is expected to
take part in the christening cere
monies March 11. Mrs. William A.
Moffet, wife of Rear Admiral Mbf
fet, will officially christen the ship.
Comm. Alger H. Dresel, whose
first appointment in the Navy
came from Theodore Roosevelt, will
be the skipper. He will direct a
crew* of 54 men on the Macon.
Dresel has been in charge of the
Los Angeles and is being detached
from the commander’s post on the
Akron to take over the new ship.
Although the Macon, in outward
appearance, is virtually a “Chinese
copy” of her sister ship, she never
theless presents many changes and
refinements which engineers' have
made as a resuit of their exper
ience in building the Akron.
The Macon outriggers supporting
the propeller shafts will carry a
cowling, to cut down wind resist
ance. The ship is 8,000 pounds
lighter. The telephone system is
automatic ; a new trapeze for pick
ing up airplanes in flight has been
developed; the electric generating
system has been changed and the
heating plant simplified.
In length, height, gas volume
and power plant the two ships are
identical.
Floated by 6.500.000 cubic feet
of non-inflammable helium gas,
*785 feet long, 132.9 feet in diame
ter. driven by 4.480 horsepower,
capable of speeds of more' than 80
miles an hour, with a cruising ra
dius of 13.000 nautical miles at 40
knots, carrying five airplanes and
seven machine gun emplacements,
the sister ships comprise the two
finest aircraft of their type in the
world.

SALT LAKE CITY. March 2, —
A five-year-old Salt Lake Citv girl
was on the operating table. Lodg
ed in her tonsils were two tiny
dice from a “backgammon” set.
Surgeons were preparing to be
gin their work. Suddenly the child
sneezed vigorously. The dice flew'
from her nasal passage and fell to
the floor.
Singularly enough the dice reg
istered a “natural,” the spots to
taling the number 11.
A chimney fire in a cabin next
to the old Crawford blacksmith
shop, called the fire department
out yesterday but was practically
out by the time the volunteers ar
rived.
