Awnings for Rain!
Certainly; Why
Not?

"The one thing that makes
me nervous in Summer is the fear
of sudden shower coming up and
running the furniture and mat
tings. With the awnings down
it is perfectly safe to. leave the
windows open all the time, as
they should be-"
Thus one customer explained
his reasons for ordering awnings.
Some people have an idea that
rain hurts an awning, but it
doesn't, any more than it hurts
an umbrella.
But whether you want awnings
for sun or rain, now is the time
to order them, not only that they
may be ready when wanted, but
for the more important reason
that awning materials are scarce.
The mills haven't yet caught up
with the demand, and some peo-
pie are likely to be disappointed
later on.
We will gladly submit an esti-
mate of the cost.

"Mr. Burleson's so-caled offer and
his filing our wage schedule with Mr.

nor, head Of the telephone girls or
ganzation here, said tonight.
MIR. Burieson has as yet failed to
take single step toward any settle

ne has gone back to the starting poins
of the entire controversy, which is
now more than five months old.
1--WE will be glad to discuss settle
ment with Mr. Driver if he is delegated
with the proper authority by Mr..
Burleson, or with any one else, for that
matter. although we would prefer to do
business with Mr.. Driver, as the logical
man. He has always been fair and
open minded in the past, in our expe-
rience.
"Tho strike can be ended in four
hours. Let Mr.. Burleson give Mr..
Driver full authority. Then we will
confer with him and he can telegraph
TO Mr.. Bureson the result of our con-
ference. Within four hours Mr.. Burle-
son could wire back his approval or
rejcction.'
Calls Operators Conference
Miss O'Connor said she had called
the chairmcn of the telephone unions
throughout New England to come to
Boston for conference with the local
strike committee. She said this was
done after receiving Mr.. Drivers Of
fer to meet the Boston committee
Asked what she saw in Mr.. Burcson s
move IN sending the wage demands to
Mr.. Driver, Miss O'Connor said:
ut means nothing except an admis-
sion that he has had our wage de-
mands right along, although he pre-
viously declared he had not, saying it
was impossible for him to act on de-
mands he knew nothing about" She
added: Its all for one and one fol
all now"
Miss O'Connor is a Boston woman
and has long been champion of the
workers. She took an active part in
the agitation for strike of operators
outside the metropolitan district in the
spring of 1918. She has served several
terms as a member of the executive
board Of the National Womcn's Trade
Union League, and has also engaged in
considerable settlement work here

Members of the operators committee
asserted that as the strike of young

operators, any conferences now must

LIMERICK, April 18.-It once was
the custom in Ireland that when man
received an injury he went and patient
ly sat and starved on his enemv's
doorstep until his grievance was right

latter stage seems to be arriving in
tho Limerick strike, where several in

the demonstrations.
representative from the Dub1;n
labor executive. Thomas johnson. who
arrived last night, it is understood, nd
viscd the resumption of work pending
meeting to be held later to consider
the question of adopting his views.
1T is understood that the military an
'horltcs, in case the strike ends, will
not wish to be unreasonable, aud that
they arc quite likely to offer conccs-
slons IN the shape of providing an
area for which permits will be granted
coincidcnt with the working area OF
tho city and not merely the citv's
actual boundaries, thus saving the
amour propre of the strikers while
leaving the actual question untouched.
The strike. however, is beginning to
press hard on tho poor, despite the
fact that the strikers have taken over
the entire distribution Of food. 1t is
estimated that with careful mauaro-
mont there is enough food here to last
ten days. but no wages will be paid
thus week, and by the middle of next
week the poor will be at the end Of
thor resources.
Special permission was given to- day
by the strike committee to open TO tho
sufferers tho little pawnshops which
were kept busy advancing money to
many appDcants. The tohacconists also
opened ~sSeir shops this afternoon, but
the saloons remain closed. There will
be general relief to all if the strike
can be ended quickly, because false
step on either side might lead to the
most serious and farrcaching conse-
quences, which the responsible leaders
OF all parties wish to avoid. Until
now perfect order has been maintained.

Marlborough. r. Paul A. Vaccarclli,
who took leading part in the City
Hall conference, was declared TO have
been removed from his Office Of inter
national vicc-president because of
charges he was said 20 have made
against 7. V. O'Conrer, international
vice president.
The charge against Vaccareli was
conduct unbecoming an officer which
grew out of the action of O'Conner in
forcing two of The local longshoremen's
unions 20 make private settlements
with the boat owners. This action
Vaccarelli opposed.
When notified of the action Of the
executive council Vaccarelli issued a
statement challenging its authority to
remove him.
"The council" said he. "has not the
power 10 remove any member Of the
executive board elected by the dele
gates in convention assembled 7 was
elected by delegates representing the
locals throughout the country. and
they alone can vote me out at the 1919

remove me-"
Fails to Attend Hearing
According to the statement issued
from the meeting of the executive
council, Vaccarclli was invited to ap-
pear before it and explain any charges
he might have against O'Conner. He
elected to attend the City Hall confer
ence and sent a letter saying that
when he had evidence to support
charges against O'Conner or any other
officer he would be glad to present it,

Company, authority to settle the strike
of telephone operators and electrical
workers, which has caused suspen-

States.
While the Senate was thus engaged

House declaring that the strike was
not only serious handicap to the
transaction of business in the common
wealth. but that it also was endangcr-
ing the successful promotion Of the
Victory Liberty Loan. The resolution
called upon the Postmaster Gene raj

At the request of Mayor Hyan the
harbor strikers yesterday declared a
further truce of twcnty-four hours in
the strike scheduled for this morning
n order to give him more opportunity
to work with the boat owners toward
a settlement. The request was made
after conference lasting all after
noon. in which the representatives Of
the boat owners refused to bulge from
their position that the hour day
must stand The men were willing to
arbitrate everything
The Marine Workers Af1iliation an
uounced late last night that through
g substantial increase in wages they
had effected settlement with the
Long Island Sound Barge Operators
Association, an organization of firms
operating coal scows and tugs between
New England and New Jersey points.
The increases range from $50 a month

To Meet Again To-day
Mayor Hylan later said he had been
unable to do anything with the boat
owners committee, which, he said, told
him it lacked power to agree to any
thing but ten-hour day for all time.
He had, therefore, asked, he said, that
the individual owners meet him this
morning in the City Hail. when he
hopes to obtain concessions. Later he
will meet with the men.
Practically all of the boat owners. i"
he said. "are residents of New York
City. They owe a duty to the city to
make somc concessions to settle this
strike, which. If not settled, may
arread to other trades"
In this connection Edward I. Hannah,
president of tho Central Federated
Union, said ave will not stand idly
by and see nn attempt mado to destroy
trades unionism in this city"
He did not explain the statement fur
ther, but it is known that tho building
trades unions have agreed not to han
die goods transported by non-union
tugs, barges or lighters.
According to Mr.. lIylau. tho unions
agreed to allow him to fix the working
hours pending settlement by nrbitra
ton of that question. and he fixed the
number of hours at ten.
