MATINEE TRIPS

No resident of Bridgeport wno IS Entertaining inland visitors snouAu allow them to depart without gNins them the pleasure of one CT 'he daily matinee excursions to Port Jefferson. Such a trip is always source of delight to lovers Of oeautl- full scenery, who enicy a breath or sea air Although it is only small place. Port Jefferson possesses one of the loveliest harbors Tn the world, and there are far-traveleo people who rank the entrance to II with the Bay of Naples In point or natural beauty. Of course, the arch1- tectural accessories and the stoneo associations ara lacking; but the stately conformation of the land Is almost equally striking. The har- bor is particularly attractive during the month of August, and the trip across the Sound Is an ideal one.

Use of an article on the British rail
way strike which should not be a
mere repetition of the government re-
ports delivered to the press, my first
surprise was the difficulty which I
met in getting people to talk about it..
The strike had been over for just a
week when we landed. 1t must have
been for some days the only real sub
ject of conversation in Great Britain,
yet seven days later it was almost
forgotten. l honestly believe that is
the explanation of my difficulty, for
it was a strike in which very little
bitterness was shown on either side,
and all parties are moderate in their
expressions of opinion in the matter.

PLANNED TO MOVE
COAL BY TRUCKS
HART PREPARED TO GET FUEL
TO NEEDY POINTS BY USING
GUARD AND AUTOS,

Gov. Louis F. Hart permitted the
first public mention of summary meas.
ures he was prepared to take to pre-
vent suffering for lack of fuel in this
state, last Saturday.
But for prompt action of the fed
eral railroad administration that day
in releasing coal for emergency ship
ment to Eastern Washington points
Governor Hart would have been load
ing coal on auto trucks at Gle Elum
and ROslyn for distribution to points
of greatest need by Monday at the
latest.
National Guard troops would have
been used to load and drive the trucks
and arrangements were made for dis
patching 800 full relief trucks daily
from the first. In tho event of ex-
tTeme necessity the governors plans
could have sent 1000 truck loads
daily out of the local storage points.
This is the relief action Governor
Hart had in mind when he issued his
proclamation declaring that hunger

and cold would not be permitted in
this state for lack of fuel.
His reply to William Short and
other labor leaders, who have de-
Inounced his proclamation. is that
there are other uses for troops than
causing trouble or bloodshed. In this
instance, the governor says. he be-
lieves they could have been effectively
used in keeping households heated
and warm food on the family table,
and says they certainly would have
been SO used without further delay.
Use of auto trucks to distribute
coal as needed was contemplated to
avoid possibility of drawing railroad
men into the coal strike situation.
In the earliest stages of the strike
Governor Hart ascertained definitely
that mines of the state could not be
operated without skilled men and that
there are practically no skilled miners
outside the union. The operators adj.
mitted the futility of attempting to
resume production under the circum-
stances and no official reliance rested
upon the possibility of resumption
until the strike was nationally settled

SAYS, EAST HOPEFUL
Of LOYAL LEGION
REPORTS MUCH IN
TEREST in NORTHWEST
ORGANIZATION.

Employers and employees of the
East and Middle West have both eyes
on the Northwest and the Loyal Lee
gion of Loggers and Lumbermen, in
the hope that this institution, now
local to this section, may offer relief
from labor and unrest and unstable
conditions, according to p. l.. Abbey,
Isecretary-manage of the Loyal Lee
gion, who has recently returned from
a trip to Chicago and other points.
Many people in the Northwest were
somewhat skeptical as to the future
lof the Ais when it was removed
from government control, and the re-
suits attained are said to be most
gratifying to it's supporters who claim
that it's principal objects, which are
to stabilize labor conditions, maintain
the eight hour day and provide an
equitable method of collective bar
gaining, have been achieved.
When in the East explained the
workings of the AIS to a conference
of employers and employees, called by
the Illinois Manufacturers associa-
ton" Secretary Abbey says. "The
interest displayed by those in attend
ance indicated very clearly their
hopes that the Loyal Legion method
of bringing employer and employe to-
gether would prove so successful that
it would be adopted in other parts of
the country"

An analysis of the figures will show
that their pay has barely increased in
proportion 10 the cost of living. They
are still disgracefully underpaid.
The strike was begun and ended by
the executive committee of the Rail
way Mems union without a vote of
the men at either time, a procedure
quite different from that in American
labor unions. There is, however, no
doubt that the great body of men
were eager to strike, and it is my
opinion that the mass of the laboring
people we're in sympathy with them.
American advertising methods were
used on both sides. Almost every
day the London Times carried full
or half-page ad, in display type, for

each side, setting forward arguments
relating to the previous days devel-
Opments.
In the compromise which ended the
strike, its immediate cause, the ques-
ton of the Standardization of pay for
the same crafts on all roads, was not
even mentioned. Every thing has
merely been postponed for a year.
That is not bad thing, for condi-
tons should be more settled by that
time, and the governments relations
to the railroads should be decided one
way or the other At present the sit
uation is the same anomalous one of
private ownership and public con-
troll which prevails in the United
States.

Medical Examinations in Montana

Opponents of compulsory medical
examination and inspection of school
teachers and children won a signal
victory before the Montana legisla-
ture on Sunday when the committee
on education voted unanimously to
reject senate bills No. 81 and g.,
which provided both for the semi
annual medical examination of all
school children with expulsion from
school of any who refused to be ex-
amined or vaccinated at the order of
the examiners and for the examina-
tion of teachers, janitors and others
connected with the schools or apply
ing for positions in the schools. Ro-
man Catholic parochial and private
schools were eliminated from the pro-
vision of the bills. This with the
additional fact that it was felt that
such a stringent law would make it
very difficult to obtain new teachers
outside of Montana is believed to
have had much to do with the COM
mittee's action. Both bills were in
troduced early in the session by Sen
ator Edward Nolan, one of the State
leaders, but bitter opposition from
all over the State developed. 1t is
considered significant that two men,
bers of the committee on education
are physicians. There are still sew
eral other medical and board of
health measures in the legislature,
but none are looked upon as so dan
gerous as the bills just killed.

romance that the Wild Cats wanted
to insert into their show, and it's

is being speedily whipped into reali-
tv, so much so that the rehearsals
have been amusing to officials from
Paris who have seen them. The pre-

at Mussy on February II, with
another presentation at Chaumont
