PARLIAMENT

By United Press Leased Wire. }
LONDON, Feb. 6.-King
George opened the first parlia-
ment of his reign today in full
state. The king, accompanied by
Queen Mary and the young prince
of Wales and hundreds of thous-
HHds of cheering spectators lined
tle route between Buckingham
palace and Westminster.
Their majesties drove to par
lament in the famous eight
horse state coach, escorted by a
glittering escort of life guards.
On each side of the coach marched
the yeomen of the guard in their
quaint old-world uniforms of
scarlet and gold. Troops lined
every inch of the route.
Reads Speech.
Arriving at the main entrance
to parliament, their majesties
donned the royal robes of scarlet
and ermine. Then "a brilliant
procession was formed to the
house of lords, where there was a
perfect phantasy of colors, en-
broideries and jewels.
At the conclusion of the speech
from the throne, the assembly, led
by the earl marshal, shouted:
God save the King!" And as the
trumpets sounded for the third
time the procession was reformed
en- route for the robing room.
} Their majesties drove back to
buckingham palace amid \ hearty
demonstrations of enthusiasm and
loyalty.

CRISIS AND SPLIT IN

| 1t is doubtful whether many
persons in the labor world appre-

American Federation of Labor

in the history of the federation
was a split more imminent than
when the A. f. of l.. executive
council met in Washington and
the United Mine Workers in Co
lumbus, and long-range battle
was begun over the question of
admitting the Western Federation
of Miners.
When the Columbus convention
hurled the ultimatum at Washing
ton, admit the so, 900 metallifer-
Gus miners or the 100000 coal
miners will secede," Gompers and
his friends were visibly affected.
Gompers was shown a telegram
from Columbus, but he testify de-
clined to read 1t, eXclaiming: 81
refuse to read dispatches from Co.
lumbus to Influence my judg-
ment." Nevertheless, all the men,
beers of the executive council
knew what would happen II they
continued their policy of procras-
tination.
For a dozen years the western
miners had been invited to affiliate
with the A. F. of l.. and finally
when they voted last summer to
do so they were blocked by the
