Funeral Drivers
Win Their Strike
At Nine Stables
Employers Assn Faces In
ternal Discussions Be-
cause of Capitulations


A substantial start was made yester-
day toward settlement Of the strike
of funeral coach drivers which, for the
last three days has been going on ia
The Bronx. in many parts of Brooklyn
and throughout the lower East Side,
when E. J. Cohan. leader of the men,
came to terms with nine OF the prin-
cipal livery stable firms.
There is possibility, however, that
these settlements may of themselves
pave the way to still more serious
trouble.
"a large body of the New York
Coach Owners Association, the en-
ployers' organization,7 said Delegate
Cohan yesterday, rs apparently deter
mined not to grant the men their
rights. At a meeting of that association
Saturday night a resolution was adopt
ed prescribing a fine of $3.50 for any
employer who yielded to the mems
terms. Now, these nine firms have
granted our every demand in defiance
Of that resolution. What the result
Will be within the Coach Owners Asso-
citation, do not know; but l can say
positively that all the men are ready
to stick till ell the stables meet our
demands"
All the officials Of the Coach Owners
Association deny the passage of any
such resolution as Cohan claims was
passed. but considerable section of
them last night sharply criticised the
nine firms that have capitulated. and
intimated that permanent break with
in their ranks was not beyond the pos
slbiltles as a result
The immediate trouble. which has
been the means of holding IN many
funerals and sending many others to
the cemeteries with an encourage of
automobiles and even. in some cases,
auto buses. arose from the demands
OF the so-called extra" men for rate
of 50 and $3.50 day.
Following is a list of the stables
which yesterday agreed to the mems
demands: A. Gutterman. 40 Orchard
Street; J. Tanning, 2s6 East Ninety
first Street; F. W Engle. 305 East
Eighty-third Street; Edward Donahuc.

Connolly, 431 East Seventy
Street; Matthew Smith. 24 East Twenti-
eth Street; A. Provenzano. 23S Eliza
beth Street, and Peter Curran. Sixty
fourth Street and Second Avenue The
meeting between Cohan and these en-
ployees was held at Mr.. Curran's Office.

but Otherwise No Relief
Is in Sight

Late yesterday afternoon faint
breeze brought to sweltering New York
the first intimation of relief on the
hottest July % ever recorded in the
Weather Bureaus annals.
Prior to that three deaths and ten
prostrations had been reported.
For to-day the WeatherBureau holds
cut hopes Of the showers for which
all yesterday and last night New York
scanned the sky in vain. but if these
do not materalize unabated heat is
the only prospect.
Last night every ferry, train and car
leaving the city for any point which
seemed to promise surcease was crowd
ed. Fully 10000 persons. many of
whom came from the East Side and
brought their bedding with them spent
the night on the beach at Coney Island.
Within the city, every available park
way was jammed, while roofs and fire
escapes claimed huge population in
congested sections.
The first death to be reported was
that of Mrs. Alice Delaney. A little
while ago Mrs. Delany's husband be-
took position at the Hoffman Kraft
Chemical Company's plant. 538 Porter
Avenue, Brooklyn. 1t was here that Mrs.
Delaney, who was forty-eight years
old, was stricken yesterday A doctor
was summoned from the Greenpoint
Hospital, but she had died before he
arrived. Her body was removed to her
home, 81 Debcvoise Avenue, BROOKLYN
1t was in Brooklyn, too, that both the
day. Mrs. Anna Allen, fifty was found
dead in bed in her second-1oor apart
ment at 96 Fourth Place. Emma Brown,
a nine-months old infant, was overcome
while being carried in her mothers
arms from the Coney Island Hospital
to her home at 20 Beach Lane. An
ambulance was summoned, but it was
too late.
The list of prostrations follow:

The hottest July day on record in
New York since the Weather Bureau
started in 1871 was July 8, 1876, when
the thermometer rocketed up to 80.
Yesterday at 4 o'clock it came within
five degrees of that mark, eclipsing the
July 22 record of 92 degrees, which
had stood since 1885, by two full de-
grees. After that the mercury began
reluctantly to recede-but not very
noticeably to the sizzling throngs. The
average temperature for the day was SO.

1t consists of Joseph B. Dickson, Of
New York; S. D. Warriner and W. j.

Philadelphia. Their job, starting with
nc reserves and empty bins, is to pro
duce 2,66S,000 more tons Of coal than
last year, to keep 900 tons away
from the regions that used to have
anthracite but may have it no more,
to curtai the allotments OF other sec

where it has always gone.
How Coal Is Divided
New England gets 10,331 900 tons of
domestic - 100000 more than last
year. New York is to get l5.S550 900
tons, or 100000 more thar in 1916

ar increase of 100000 tons, with a
total of 3l,4l7,000 In the aggregate

to deliver 54,345,000 gross tons of
domestic coal and about 5A,000OO0 tons
of steam coal, or about l00,00O,OOO net
tens.
All it lacks to win is labor. If it
could only get back those legions of
miners lost to the army and other in
dustries it would win in walk. The
coal is there The development is suf-
flcient for $4,000 more men to go to
work tomorrow. The railroads are
100 per cent efficient. The only way
out is to make the remnant of labor
100 per cent efficient. Neither money
nor orders will do that. Only senti-
ment can do it, Who ever thought that
the coal miner would have to turn
sentimentalist to become efficient!

LAKE RONKONKOMA, l.. l.. july %.
Lake Ronkonkoms, which, so far as
is known, has neither outlet nor inlet,
has suddenly begun TO fall. In the last
twenty-four hours the water has
dropped nearly three feet and the fall
has amounted to more then twelve feet
since the middle of last week.
Docks leading to boat houses, which
week ago were at the waters edge,
are now at least twenty icet from the
shore line. And the water is still re-
coding.
Old residents say the same thing
happened eleven years ago. At that
time it was believed an outlet opened
up somewhere below the surface Fol-
lowing the fall Of water at that time,
however, it rose shortly after and re-
sumed its normal level.

On the Screen
Back to the Woods
Delightful-All but
Mabel's Hair

Please. Mabel Normand, wear your
hair the other way. 1t doesn't look like
little Mabel in Back to the Woods"
the feature picture at the Strand this
week. You wear your hair, Mabel, in
aA sorts of ways, but never once in
ing you wear it.
Some people call Mary Pickford "Our
Mary" but we feel that way toward
Mabel Normand. She is "Our Mabel"
and we think we have right to tell
her how to wear her hair and every
thing.
We approve of Miss Normand's new
leading man. He is Herbert Rawlinson,
and we have always wondered why he
was not snatched up long ago and made
to act as steady, instead of appear
ing on Broadway sporadically. At any
rate, Goldwyn has him now and we
hope to see lot of him.
He is good looking and knows how to
dress, and, what is almost as impor-
tant in these days when the fans are
demanding so much, how 10 act.
Some people said that they liked
Back to the Woods" better than any
thing Miss Normand has appeared in.
We DO not. Somehow 1t seems that we
do not get so much of Mabel herself Is
usual.
Mabel is "stevie' Trent, t, daughter
of the millionaire, Stephen Trent, but
she doesn't care for any Of the men she
knows because they are rich. Stevie
fancied that only poor men were in
teresting. Poor Stevie.
So she goes up to the Maine woods to
! teach school. There, with the help Of
Arthur Housman, who, by the way, does
better work than We ever have seen him
do, she falls in love with Herbert
Rawlnson. Herbert is an author in
/ disguise. He calls himself Jimmy.
/ Mabel calls herself Sarah" All sorts
of improbable and amusing things hap
pen to them after that, and they do not
marry as quickly as one expects.
Stevie returns to the city and does
not know who Jimmie is until she sees
herself in his latest novel. Then she
attempts to have the second install
ment held up. They meet in al ele-
vator, and Jimmie. being resourceful
as we'll as a powerful young man
elects the elevator boy, who is well
under the draft age, and becomes an
indoor chauffeur.
He sends the car up and down the
shaft so fast that it makes one dizzy
to watch it, but still Stevie refuses to
be his. We wanted to cry out: go
on. Stevie, kiss him, so he'll stop
making that cage go up and down. u
SO finally Stevie kissed him.
Just one thing more. When Stevie
got in the elevator she wore a beauti-
full kolinsky wrap. When she emerged
she did not have it on. What be-
came Of it?
The comedy was rather amusing 1t
was called "Bill Settles Down" and is
written for Smiling Bill Parsons.
By special arrangement with the
French Pictorial Service, "Our Dumb
/ Friends in the War" was presented.
The overture is from Carmen
Maleta Boneoni, violinist, played the
"Polonaise" and mighty LAX Rose
