 New York. May 26-Declaring that 1000 Siberian peasants have been en- ticed into peonage by planters in Ha- waii and are being held there against their will. Nicholas Aleinikoff. Simon C. Poll and Ivan Okunstoff went to Washington today to ask the Depart ment of Commerce and Labor to take action. The three men have received reliable information. they say, that the Siberian peasants were brought to Ha- wall under promise that they would earn S45 a month. thats%every family would have house and plot of ground with title clear in three years. that they would receive half pay when i'll and that they would have free school ing. hospitals. agricultural instruments and food.
 They were forced to live in open huts without sanitation and they received SIS month. the committee declares. When the peasants appealed to the Governor of Hawaii and the Russian consul in San Francisco more than a dozen were arrested as vagrants and sent to 0risOn.
 It is hoped to have the peasants sent back to Siberia by the government on the ground that they were taken to Hawaii in violation of the contract labor law.

 Organized Craftsmen Expect From Employers

Bridgeport is likely to see organized non-unionism making a demand for more money and a half holiday on Saturday. if the plans of some of the non-union carpenters employed by h. ter-State bosses do not fail or mis- carry.
 There is some likelihood of the Mas ter Builders Association and the Car renters' Union adjusting their differ ences whereby the union men will get a half holiday on Saturdays and will get nearly as much money in their pay envelopes as they are getting now. Since the master builders offered an increase of 2-S cents an hour it is un- derstood that they have offered a still better wage increase and a half holi- day

In blissful idleness,
AS one whom neither fears
Nor weighty sorrows press.
He hung upon the fence
His clothes showed many tears,
But on his face smile
No man of millions wears.

Around a.post-the sun

No shadow of regret;

WAR
TAKES ANOTHER
TURN
ASSOCIATION WILL
NOT LONGER ACT AS BOOKING
FOR kLAW G. ERLANGER.

Another chapter has been added to
the theatrical war in the south dur
ing the past few days. 1t was in the
form of an announcement from tie
Association of Southern Theatre
Managers to the effect that the as
sociation does not find it practical to
carry on general booking Office in
New York, and have decided to dis
continue same.
Notices have just been sent to all
members of the association, and an
nounces to them that in connection
with the bookings fer the present
season, that the managers make sush
arrangements as they see fit and con-
slider to their best interests.
One of these notices was received
yesterday by Manager Finney, of the
Grand, who was, until the theatrical
was started this season, a member
of the association. He, however, to
gether with several other managers.
in the south, resigned in order to re-
main with Klaw & Erlanger and play
their attractions. AS matter of
fact, there are but two or three man
ayers in the state, who remained
with K. & w.
Just what the announcement means
is not yet known to the full extent.
Of course as the association has dis
continued its booking office the man
ayers will now be only too glad to
book Klaw & Erlanger shows, but
insomuch as these managers, at the
critical moment, refused to affiliate
with Klaw & Erlanger, it may be that
this booking company will now re-
fuse to play those houses whose man
ayers refused to remain with them.
1t is probable that the Shubert's will
play most of the houses, but they
can book such attractions as they de-
sire in@ nch houses as they see fit, as
the Ia managers will have to do
their o~n bookings.
AS far as Brunswick is concerned,
the theare-goers of this city will get
the best line of attractions in the
history Of the city, as Manager Fin
ney has remained with the Klaw &,
Erlanger booking house all along and
he will play almost every attraction
sent out by that concern to this sec
ton Of the country.
