Fashion Threatens Deem
of Abyssinian Monkeys
Washington, June 17. (By A.
P.) Fashion's demnnd for monkey
fur threatens the extermination of
Abyssinian monkeys, according te a
report te the Commerce Department,
today from Aden, Arabia.
The dictates of fashion, particu
larly in Paris, the report snld,
have exerted a strong demand for
black nnd white Abyssinian menlcey
skins te be used for trimmings, anil
ns n result the mortality is high
among that variety of the species
and shows no tendency of abate
ment. The supply of skins is very lim
ited, it was added, and net mere
than 15,000 or. 20,000 can be ob
tained in n year without exter
minating the monkey.
Demand for Wartime Wages Is
Blamed for Much of Pres
' - ent Unemployment
SKILLED WORKERS WANTED
Present indications regarding the un
employment situation Jn the various
local industries point te a decided de
crease In the number of men out of
work.
At the same time there is a tendency
en the part of many workmen, both
skilled nnd unskilled, te scorn wages
offered by large employers.
Although unemployment has been cut
in hnlf during the last six months,
according te K. M. Coolbaugh, super
intendent of the State Employment Bu
reau here, there still are many men out
of jobs. But, he added, n large per
centage ere cither of the "floating"
type or else refuse te accept work
where war wages de net prevail.
"Jobs can be had in most branches
of Industiy," he asserted, "if men are
willing te adjust their mode of living
te present economic conditions. All
branches of the building trade, ns well
as iron nnd steel and automobile Indus
tries, have picked up tu work.
Clerks Still Hard Hit
"The man who is hardest hit today,"
he ndded, "Is the technical nnd office
worker. Due te the lack of produc
tion In many lines, manufacturers and
sellers have cut their forces consider
ably." A scarcity 'of skilled labor is being
felt by the building trades. Brick
layers, carpenters, machinists, stone
cutters nnd rlcctrlclnns are in demand,
let, although wages hnve taken an
upward stride since last year, really
competent workers nre at n premium.
This is due, in the opinion of one
employment manager, te the haphazard
training et men during the war, when
inexperienced help was thrown to
gether with skilled workers nnd grad
uated into the skilled class without
serving nn apprenticeship. Since then
practically no experienced labor has
been developed.
Rumors thnt several builders here
intended te halt construction en new
operations because of the extreme
shortage of skilled labor nnd demand
for increased pny are without founda
tion, according te Harry A. Stene,
secretary of the Builders' Exchange.
Ferget War Is Over
"It is true," he said, "thnt n large
number of men can't get the notion
into their heads that the war Is ever
and with it the accompanying big
money.
"In several instances shore resort
builders offer bonuses te journeymen
workmen. They accept because of the
advantages in money and the oppor
tunity te spend the summer away from
the city."
Figures compiled by an employment
association show that wages in iiinnunl
labor have been lowered approximately
24 per cent, since the peak of war
time Veges was reached In 1020.

be received by the trustees, who nre
generously, patiently nnd pntrietlcally
trying te meet the wishes of the Presi

The Beard of Directors of the General
Alumni Society has passed a resolu

Stan Corrmnendrnt Averting rublle Idr
Covvrieht, 1021. bu Publie Ltiger Company
Washington, June 17. The flareup
In Congress yesterday ever Secretary
eeks' speech at Cleveland is just
another example of tne bad temper
prevailing here.
Congress nnd the President have been
at work without respite and little gets
done. Nerves nre wasting. The
weather Is het. President Harding Is
irritable and depressed. Congress Is
irritable ami depressed. Ucnomina Ucnemina Ucnomina
tiens are hard te win. Strange cattle
arc moving en te Washington from the
u est te arrive here after November.
It is net going te be a pleasant place
for nny one hnving responsibility for
either legislation or administration.
Congressmen sign nn angry petition
attacking the Treasury Department and
Incidentally the President. Mr. Mellen
puts out no very conciliatory statement
in reply. The clinlrmutf of nn impor
tant Senate committee interested in the
bonus wnlks up and down the Capitel
attacking the President. The Presi
dent scolds the press and the Senators
end Representatives hear of it and
think he means them.
In the midst et nil this Secretary
Weeks, placid nnd never intending te
give offense, mnkes what he regards as
a highly philosophical speech, saying
that the Government was ncycr at. a
lower point of efficiency and giving
direct primaries and the amendment
te the Constitution which increased
suffrage nnd provided for the direct
election of Senators ns the cnuse of out
troubles and instantly Congress tlkff)-
it. as ii-iiwuun upon useu.
Congress Much Peeved
What was said en the fleer about faff
speech wus only a faint echo
what was said In the cloak rooms.
The legislators net only resented Mr.
Weeks' remarks as an attack upon
themselves, but conceived them as
adding te their troubles in their dis
tricts. They regurd it as bad politics
te attack direct primaries just when
the people were enjoying them
selves se thoroughly making nomina
tions in defiance of the machine.
The organization wes put by the
speech en the side of reaction. It
would be one mere thing te defend en
the stump when seeking election. Vir
tually ever body has te go into the dl-"
rect primaries te be reneminated. Ne
one wlshlnc te come back te Washing
ten could afford te rise and defend Mr.
i Weeks. The organization sat glum and
I silent, confining the expression of its
sentiments te the cloak room.
AT WASHINGTON I
NEAR BREAKING
. A
All this debate as te whether the
I present disintegration sprang from the
'adoption of diret primaries and the-
cunnge in me innuc ei cuoesing senators
is the obi quarrel ns te whether the
chicken or the egg came first. And It
is all quite fruitless because tbere is
net the faintest sign that the old sys
tem of party government can ever be
restored. Kven Mr. Harding, who
came here full of hope that he might
bring It back, new privately admits that
his efforts te de se were largely mis
taken. 1'nlty of People Needed

of great bosses or with a strong execu
te e as its head, Implies a unity among
the people, a common nlm, that no

Miitence and say what will happen if

if it were possible for the ItcpuhlicatiH
te lese the election without the Homo Hemo Home

Hut that is impossible. v
