Coney Island, entire companies Of
musical comedy girls, who, of course,
do their prancing and their singing
and their dancing ON the great stage
Of the open-air theatre near the club
house The musical comedy idea is
new to summer resorts but Coney has
shown that the people like to gaze
upon handsome girls in the summer
as well as in the winter Last winter
on the down town stage, it was PROV
ed conclusVely that Ziegfeld's Follies
was the biggest hit in all the season
and it was with this in mind that
the Coney Island Company, prevailed
Manager Arthur L. Rieseiberger, of
upon the Coney directors to open a
season of week -to-week musical COM
edy at Coney. The musical comedy,
made up Of the best IN the United
States surely is fulfilling the bill at

Retail Clerks
Too Busy To Attend Meet
ings Of Local These
Hot Nights.

Retail Clerks Union No. 119, met
Monday night with very small at
tendance just handful of the old
guard were present, in fact just
enough to form quorum. Those who
only come when they have an iron
in the fire or when they want to tell
just how to run union were CON
spicuous by their absence. 1t seems
that many of the clerks do not appre-
ciate what the organization has got
ten them in the past. Perhaps if the
merchants could be persuaded to open
up their store a few Monday nights,
shut off the Wednesday afternoon
holidays, remain open all holidays un-
til noon, all nights for three weeks
before Christmas, Christmas eve and
Saturday nights until II o'clock the
clerks would appreciate the good Of
the union and give an hour one Mon
day night in each month to attend its
meetings.
1t was brought out at the meeting
Monday night that several merchants
who have failed to sign the clerks
agreement and who no longer are en-
titled to display the union card even
refuse the courtesy Of reply to the
secretary's letters. These are mostly
furniture dealers 1t was decided to
give them until next meeting at which
time some definite action viii be
taken

ATLANTIC CITY
Union Labor May Lose What Has
Long Been Considered a
Stronghold.
FIGHT OVER WAGE INCREASE
Offer of Employers to Compromise on
Demands Made by Workers Is Re
fused and Strike Breakers
Are Being Sought.

For years one Of the best organized
union labor towns in the country, At
lantic City, N. J., threatens to become
an "open shop" town, in consequence
of final break between striking plum
bers, tinsmiths and electricians and
employers affiliated with the newly
formed Allied Building Trades asso-
ciation
The strikers demanded an increase
from sixty-two to eighty-seyen and one
half cents an hour Employers offered
to compromise on seyenty-fve cents an
hour, the scale being paid union labor
on government contracts in Atlantic
county. The proffer was rejected by
strikers committees. Contractors
who have employed only union men
during the last ten years advertised
in Philadelphia for non-union labor.
Discharged lighting men are expected
to take the places Of many of the
strikers.

Twelve States Report increase Of Idle

Unemployment of common labor now
exists in II states, as against seven a
week ago, said message from the
national council of defense to its state
councils, which were urged to do ey-
erything possible to find employment
for those needing it. The II states in
which there is a surplus of labor are
Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, California, Col
orado Idaho Missouri, Montana, Ne
braska, North Dakota, Oregon and
Utah. The country's surpluses in all
labor seem to follow belt across

probable that the danger point will be
reached within 80 days"

$25,OOO,OOO Treasure
In LIQUORS in New York

New York homes and clubs now
harbor a $25,000,000 treasure that
may become contraband and subject
to confiscation by the government
in the near future.
That is a conservative estimate
placed upon the stores of alcoholic
beverages now held in the cellars
and lockers of that city's liquor con-
sumers. More generous statisticians
said that the value of the hard liquor
thus stored would reach nearly
$780, 100000.
Should Congress pass the proposed
amendment making it unlawful for
any person to hold liquors stored be-
fore July l, all of this immense stock
will become contraband and subject
to seizure by government officials.
Just how this amendment to the en-
forcement law would be carried into
execution nobody in New York seems
to know. But it was admitted that
favorable vote on the measure would
automatically relegate the contents
Of such cellars into a classification
along with smuggled jewels and boot
leggerS' wares.

Hostility to March
Apparent in Congress;
Motion Omits Him

WASHINGTON, July 21.-Con-
gressional hostility to President Will
sons recommendation that Chief or
Staff March be given the rank of
general for life was apparent today.
Resolutions were introduced in the
house authorizing the permanent
rank of general for John ], Persh1ng
and admiral for William S. Sims and
William S. Benson. General March's
name was purposely omitted from a
resolution of Representative Britten,
Illinois, giving the permanent rank
TO General Pershing.
The presidents recommendation
will be considered by the military
committee next week and the honor
asked for General March appears
certain to cause a bitter fight. Ac-
tom may be taken by the house the
latter part of next week.
Chairman Butler of the naval at
fairs committee, Republican, In
PRODUCED the resolution comforting
the permanent rank on Sims and
Benson, and believes there will be
no objection.

Booze Fleet Planned
For the Dry-Throated

Sailing on the good ship Booze"
once considered a good musical COM
edy jest, will become a reality in the
near future if the plans of certain
liquor dealers are carried into execu-
ton. But instead Of using one ship,
a fleet will be necessary for the
series of voyages proposed in honor
of John Barleycorn. At least 1,000,-
coo gallons of bonded whisky will
come out of government storehouses
to furnish liquid cheer for the pas
sengers.
The latest plan if liquor dealers
who have been wondering what
should be done with the millions of
dollars worth of whisky now held in
government storehouses is to put it
into the ocean trade. But it has been
proposed that, since a long voyage
would demand too great an eXpendi-
-ture of both time and money a short
er one, with an opportunity to carry
the shipboard celebrations ashore,
should be devised.
Bermuda" exclaimed the owner
of one of the largest supplies of
bonded whisky still in the hands of
the government warehouse keepers.
So plans for a pleasure fleet to the
islands are under way.

When William Livingston, head of

ceived a telegram saving that his
presence was urgently required in
Wichita Falls, Tex, to close a big
transaction that might be forfeited
if he delayed coming even a few
hours.
1t is 119 miles from Forth Worth
to Wichita Falls. The morning train
had gone and there would not be an
other until night. Why not go by
airplane? He called up Cantain Will
Erwin, an Ace who had recently
returned from France. Yes, it might
be possible to get hold Of an airplane,
Erwin told him.
They went to Barron Field and
found a plane that was available for
use. Mr.. Livingston bought it and
an hour and thirty minutes later he
was in Wichita Falls closing up the

there. e.rs

Sack of Gold About Neck

with a sack Of gold amounting
to $4,000 tied to his back, Bert
Bower, ex-convict and former base
ball player, lost his life in an at
tempt to swim from one pier to
another in Honolulu harbor while on
smuggling venture recently.
Bowers planned to pass the gold
up to the steerage of an Oriental lin
er and receive, in return, the opium
which is selling at a high price
here. The strings, which held the
bag to his shoulders, became tang
led and the gold slipped around
and it is believed frightened the cord
arund his neck and strangled him.
His body was found near Pier Z.
The gold was intact. The money
will be turned over to his widow.
1t is believed that Chinese com
bine furnished Bowers the money
with which it was intended to Sc
