WOOLWORTH EMPLOYEES
NEW YORK, December 17.
Pickets outside three Woolwortli stores where employees are on strike carried placards derisively commenting on the former Miss Barbara Hutton's change of citizenship; also, a wireless message has been sent to her asking her to instruct "the Woolworth management to concede a living wage to thousands who are now existing on 3 starvation wage." ■ %
A cablegram received from New York on Saturday stated that the Woolworth heiress Miss Barbara Hutton, now Countess Haugwitz-Reventlow, paying a surprise one-day visit to the United.States, renounced her American, citizenship. She said: "My dual nationality has resulted in various legal complications. I sincerely regret that circumstances beyond my control have compelled this action." She is now Danish.
