When the shop council returned and

American .labor leader was amazed.
Practically everything had been con

director whom the workers in this
particular factory greatly 'disliked
was to be dismissed; the employer
would abide by the decision of the

The. need for such advice la found in
the ereigi owing frequency of rob'

of international thieves is thought to
be operating In all leading hotels and
the French authorities although they
hare sent out their best detectives
and polios after members of the gang

American visitors are usually the
biggest sufferers and their money

BARBED WIRE
OF WAR USED
TO MAKE NAILS
Biga Latvia Dee. iA use has at
last been found here for the vast
quantities of barbed wire left oa the
battlefields of eastern Kuiope. Riga
inventors have devised machinery for
stamping nails out of the wire and
hose by this method to relieve the
shortage of nails in the Balkan states.
Riga has bees the center of so
much fighting throughout the war
that most of the lakes streams and
roads about the dty are thor ghly
lined with barbed wire entangle-
ments and great numbers of full
spools of wire are lying about. Tne
expense of collecting wire for mat-
in sr nails is thus .made light. Many
ef the piers at this port are stacked
high with wire suitable for nail making.
