Graduation Gowns.
AS result of this contest PrinCi.
pal Walter S. Mitchell, OF the high
school, and Supt. o. p. Bostwick have
suggested that the club carry the
dress question still further and at,
tack the problem of graduation gowns
for high school girls. The committee
will suggest this in thir report to the
club and it is believed that the girls
of the Clinton high school, class of
1911, will be offered substantial cash
prizes for the graduation outfit that
involves the least outlay of money.

POLITICAL CRISIS
IN GREAT BRITAIN
Growing Strength of the Labor
Movement Likely TO Cause
Complications.
Special Cable TO The Tribune.

LONDON, Sept. 1o-Labor disputes
arc developing rapidly in Great Britain.
Hitherto the leaders have generally dom
mated q course OF events, but a peculiar
feature OF the political crisis is that the
rank and file are disposed to regulate
the leaders and take affairs into their
own hands. Formerly the danger of In
dustrial war was considered TO lie In
the spread OF organization. now II is
seen to spring from the breakdown OF
organization.
Four classes of workers are involved.
They are the northern shipbuilders. the
Welsh miners. the employees OF the Great
Northern railway and the Cotton Spin
ners' association of Manchester. The
particular body OF shipbuilders con-
cerned are the boilmakers overthrow
Ing their leaders they voted two to one
10 tear up the arbitration agreement in
force between them and their employers.
The latter retaliated with lockout
The Welsh miners and the Great
Northern railway men are also In re-
volt against their leaders and their ar
bitration agreements. Tho situation Is
almost Identical In Manchester where
the operatives of the Oldham mill are
on strike and the employers are threat
ening that unless consent Ia given TO
arbitration by next Monday they will de-
clare the general lockout. to begin on

1t was nothing more or less, he fur

the tide of public resentment so as to

Then, as he paced to and fro. first

And at the outset, he placed the
blame for Taft and insurgency and the
