Sued for divorce in Trenton, N. J. last week was President Peter C.

Given this new idea of his wealth, Mr. Christensen's 400 employes promptly decided that he could afford to pay them better wages, walked out on strike. Up in a big black limousine drove Mrs. Christensen to cheer on the strikers, march for an hour in their picket line.
