RUSSIAN TRADE IS FAVORED BY MANY ENGLISH UNEMPLOYED (By Ann"?atel Press) LONDON, Jan. 19. The proposal by the government to alleviate unemployment by big roadmaking and house building Bchemei and other work of public utility IS called Inadequate by Itae leaders of the unemployed. Official returns give the number ot registered workless in the United
Kingdom on December 10 as 591,074, an increase of 70,721 during the preceding fortnight. London alone accounts for 141,533 and the proportion of men to women out of work is roughly as 3 to 1. Over a Million Idle. Labor leaders say these figures are incomplete. They declare - that at least 250,000 other manual workers and as many clerical workers are out of jobs, though not on the government books. These would bring up the workless army to well over 1,000,000 and, counting their dependents, a grand total is arrived at of close upon 4,500.000 sufferers from lack of work in one way or another. Clamor for reopening trade with Russia is growing and the chairman of the London Unemployed Council has told The Associated Press representative that by acting in cpncert with all other labor organizations, they were confident of being able to force government's hands. . Cites American Case. "If an American business man is able to get $3,000,000,000 worth of contracts out of Russia, that means that there is another $3,000,000,000 worth waiting there for British trade," he said. Meanwhile, public charity has been deeply stirred by reports made by social workers on many cases of genuine distress, with the result that gifts, both in money and kind, have been pouring into the different local unemployed centers. The danger of food riots which threatened some weeks ago, has apparently to a large extent vanished.

ROYAL BETROTHALS DENIED BY PRINCE
(By Aesoriated Pross) ATHTNS, Jan. 19 Reports that the Princess Marie of Rumania was bethrothed to King Boris of Bulgaria, and previous rumors that she might be engaged to Prince Regent Alexander of Serbia, were denied by her brother, Prince Carol, here today. "They are just fantastic newspaper stories," said the Prince smiling, and King Constatine and the rest of us have had many laughs over them. They really are too foolish to warrant a denial. Boris is a very nice fellow, but his marriage to my sister is impossible." Prince Carol objected to newspaper reports describing his own marriage to Princess Helene of Greece, and that of his sister Elizabeth to Prince George of Greece and that of his sister, Elizabeth to Prince George of Greece as "political,' 'and he declared them "love matches, pure and simple." lie is still uncertain of the precise date of his wedding, but expressed the belief that It would take place in Athens this month, and that his sister's marriage occur at Bucharest earlier. He raid the dates would probably be settled on Friday of this week, when the Rumania master of court ceremonies will arrive here.
LABOR CONGRESS HITS DECREASES IN WAGES
(By Associated Press) MEXICO CJTY, Jan. 19 Resolutions calling for the Inauguration of profit-sharing by employees of Industrial plants were rejected at the final meeting of the congress of the. PanAmerican Federation of Labor here yesterday. It was the sense of the congress that efforts should be made first to obtain legislation fixing minimum salaries. Alleged efforts by capital to "reduce the cost of living at the expense of laborers through decreased wages," were made the subject of protests and it was decided to carry on an extensive trado union propaganda in Central American countries. , The last session of the congress was quiet and the animation which characterized the sessions on Monday was entirely absent, debate being, for the most part, perfunctory. There were a number of short addresses expressing congratulations to the officers of the congress and Samuel Gonipers, president of the federation, commended the congress for its faithful work and its desire to &erve. Several delegates including American representatives left Mexico City for home last night.
