 STRIKE UNDER
 CONSIDERATION

Boston, Aug. 2s.---The threatened
 strike of carmen in Eastern Massa-
 chusetts Street Railway was hefore
 the state board of conciliation and arbitration today. The board has asked for appearance of men on the joint conference board of the Bay State Garments Union and the public trustees of the road at a hearing in the state house.
 An investigation by the state board
 was sought by union leaders on the ground that the war labor board s award of 30 40 cents an hour was in sufficient. They claimed the arbitra- tors in making the award had failed
 to take into consideration the prevail | ing wage rate for the district and that as the national board had ceased to function, the only body to which an appeal could be taken was the state | board.

.TAHITIAN VETS WELCOMED BACK BY HOME FOLKS Islanders Enact Ancient Ceremonies in Two Weeks
 of Celebrating. THREE SPEECHES
 IN CALIFORNIA First Address Will Be De- livered in Columbus, O.,
 Thursday Evening.

Papeete, Tahiti. July IS. CCorres- pondence of the Associated Press. )- Age old Polynesian customs and arts the natives in their swing toward European customs, were revived during the great festival which dur ing the past few weeks welcomed home Tahitian veterans of the great war.
 Maran, formerly queen came from semi-retirement and gave a pictures
 que feast of royal proportions in the
 old kings palace.
 The otea, or dancing company, pre-
 senting evolutions not unlike the Ha- waiian ~Ia-hula, were seen again and
 the himenSS said by musical experts
 to be unque in all the world, was sung.
 In the himene, lately abandoned for hymns and European songs taught by missionaries, short phrases of
 great originality and often of greater beauty are woven together in four or five parts without dissonance. Some liken it to Wagnerian choruses. One colorful feature of the celebra- tion was the lantern parade when young and old, carrying torches, danc- ed through the highways and byways | of the town. The square, lighted all
 about with paper lanterns while flow | CT crowned women promenaded with | husbands or sweethearts, resented a romantic picture of old Tahiti. When the battalion of Tahitian sol | diers arrived they were greeted by i great crowds of brilliantly attired na- | tives crowding piers and beaches | They marched through triumpha arches and palms and after being of 1 ficilaly welcomed by Governor JocelyT l Robert were taken over by the peo' | pie.
 The festival continued more thar 1 two weeks. Other settlements of the ! island have made preparations fol other celebrations to SD;iow.
