FROM BAD TO WORSE.

 Washington, Nov. s.--Labor conol- lions m Great Britain are going from bad to worse. Judging from the re- nort of John L.. Griffiths. consul gem erai at London. to the Department VT Commerce and Labor.
 wages are being lowered and the hours of work are decreasing. wniie an aiarmingly large increase in the number of those who are registered as unemployed is giving grave con- cern.
 Last year during the entire twelve months the wages of 464.o00 persons were reduced because of the bad times. Tn the six months of 1909. from January to June, or just haif the time, 1,0st.273 were compelled to suo- init to reductions in their earnings.
 The gravity of the situation Is viv- idly set forth by the statistics of the unemployed, prepared and compiled by the British government These show that in the first three days of regis tration in London last month 2.boo more persons applied for work than in the corresponding three days Of October. 1908.
 There Is at present bill before Parliament. drawn by the trades boards which. if 1t becomes . law. will authorize the Board of Trade to es- tablish a minimum rate of wage in all trades where there is satisfactory proof that the scale of wages paid is unusually low or unfair to the work. ara

 Georgiana. Nov. s.(Special. l--Gover- nor Conner received quite an ovation when he slighted from the train yes- terday evening.
 All the school children and crowd of people of the town vied with each other to do honor to. the chief execu- tive Of the State.
 A special committee headed. by Nay or Boone was on hand to escort him to the Williams Hotel, special arrange ments having been made for him.
 This demonstration must not be mis- construed. It was to do honor to the Governor of the State, and not alto gether to the man himself or his poll icies. as several in the crowd were against the amendment.
 At T:30 o'clock with torchiights strewn along the way he proceeded to the First Baptist Church. where about 800 or 500 people awaited his coming. He spoke against the constitutional a1nendment. as hes eaws if.r He received very cordial reception.
