ST. REGIS HOTEL
SCENE OF MIX-UP
: OVER SENN FE|N
Sir Charles Carrick Allom Pro-
tests at Irish Drive
PORTERS AID HIS EXIT
British sportsman's Objection TO Dis
play Of irish Emblem opens
Hostiities

New York, June 25.-When Sir
Charles Carrick Allom, the English
sportman and airplane manufactui-
or, went into the St Regis Hotel at
Fifty Avenue and Fifty.hfth Street
for luncheon yesterday, he was asked
by two girls in the lobby If he wished
to subscribe to the Irish Victory Fund
now being collected in this country
for the benefit of the Sein Fein move
ment in Ireland. The girls were
standing at table near the door of
the main dinning room, and the
American flag and the emblem adopt
ed by the Sein Fein movement were
displayed by them.
Several different versions of the
conversation that followed were CIV
en- last night by persons who had TAX
en- part in it, but all agreed upon sew
eral of the main questions said TO
have been asked the girls by Sir
Charles. After the conversation with
the girls upon the aims of the move
ment, Sir Charles called for r. NJ.
Hahn, the manager and protested
against the display of the emblem in
the hotel. All those who took part in
the discussion, and those who heard
1t, admitted that it was animated. but
the reports of the conclusion of the
argument differ widely
Mr.. Hahn and his brother Joseph
Hahn said that Sir Charles was eject
ed through the main door into Fifty
fifth Street by attendants who admit
Irish parentage and that hat and
cane picked up in the lobby also went
into the street Sir Charles denies
this version of the story, and says
that he left the hotel voluntarily af-
ter an animated discussion with the
managers and some of the attendants
who were not in sympathy with his
views. .,.
Sir Charles SAID last hight that he
had lived in the hotel for several
months and that he had left there
after he had gained the impression
that some person not in sympathy
with the aims of the Allies was tam
pering with mail sent to him in refer
ence to contracts with the British
Government for airplanes and explos.
ives. The managers denied last night
that Sir Charles ever had complained
to them, while he was living there
that any of his letters had been
opened, and they said that he had
been there for luncheon and dinner
frequently since he ceased living
there.
According to all versions of the
story, Sir Charles asked the two girls
il they believed in the Irish rebel
lion" The girls replied that they be
lieved in the Irish republic" Sil
Charles told the girls that he believ
ed that their time could be put to bet
ter use IL they refrained from assist
ing a cause that was inimical to the
aims of the allies. The girls were

IMPROVES QUIT

Demand an Increase of Is Per
Cent All Round
KNITTERS TOOK THE LEAD
Bradford Mill Has Probably Run More
Constantly For Years Than
Any Other in the State

The underwear factory of the H. E.
Bradford Co., Inc. is shut down
today for the first time in Is years,
and probably for the first time in its
history, because OF a disagreement
between the management and EN-
ployes over wages.
Wednesday, according to the state
ment made by General Manager d. B.
heeler, seven knitters sent into the
Office round robin demand for an in.
crease OF 10 per cent in wages. The
manager replied that the company
was not In position to grant the in
crease because the orders on hand
had been taken on the basis of the
prevailing scale. The knitters in
sisted that they could not live on the
wages they received and left the
factory.
An attempt to fill the places Of the
knitters who had gone out was made
IN order to keep the factory in opera
ton but the spinners and the winders
did not return to work in the after
noon and the plant was closed.
The operatives state that the diff
Guilty Is entirely over the prevailing
scale of wages. They contend that
the scale is not as high as at other
KNIT goods factories. This conten-
ton is met by a counter statement by
the general manager that the factory
Is paying and is ready to pay the
same wages as other concerns en-
gagged in the same line of business
AS far as can be learned there
was no united movement for strike
at the factory and some of the opera.
tiYes when asked for an explanation

We're not at work. The suspension
by the knitters, spinners and wind

which prevented running the mill and
a shutdown became necessary.

VEGETABLES RUINED
New York Teamsters Refuse to Go
Back to Work.

New York, June 24,-Hope of an
immediate settlement of the strike Of
teamsters and chauffeurs employed
by produce dealers here was abandon
ed when Local 202 of the Interna-
tional Brotherhood decided at a meet
ing tonight not to accept a COM
promise offer and to continue the
walkout. The men are demanding
higher wages and shorter hours.
The action of the strikers is ex-
pected to result in serious shortage
of vegetables. Large quantities of
fruit and vegetables already here or
in transit will be ruined, the dealers
assert, for it will be impossible to
divert them to other markets.
The vote to continue the strike
which was called yesterday, was TAX
en- in spite of the efforts of Michael
j. Reagan of the state board of media
tion, who had stated earlier in the
day that settlement was in sight.

DAILY HEALTH TALKS
What Is The Cause Of
Backache?
BY DOCTOR CORNELL

Backache is perhaps the most common
ailment from which women suffer. Rarely
do you find anybody free from it. Some
TIRES the cause is obscure, but DR.. Pierce,
of Buffalo, N. Y, high medical authority,
says the cause is very often a form Of
catarrh that settles in the delicate mem
branes of the feminine organs. When
these organs are infamed, the first symp
tom is backache, accompanied by bearing,
dowr sensations, weakness, unhealthy dis,
charges, irregularity, painful periods, irri-
tation, headache and a general rundown
condition. Any woman in this condition
is to be pitied, but pity does not cure. The
trouble calls for Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription, which is separate and dis
tinct medicine for women. 1t is made of
roots and herbs put up without alcohol OF
opiate of any kind, for DR.. Pierce uses
nothing else in his prescription. Favorite
Prescription is natural remedy for wo-
men, for the vegetable growths of which it
IS made seem to have been intended by
Nature for that very purpose, Thousands
of girls and women, young and old, have
taken it, and thousands have written
grateful letters to DR.. Pierce saying it
made them well. In taking Favorite Pre-
scription, it is reassuring to know that it
goes straight to the cause of the trouble.
There is but one way to overcome sickness,
and that is to overcome the cause. That
is precisely what Favorite Prescription is
intended to do.
Send Ice for trial pkg. of Tablets.
Address Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y.
Constipated women, as well as men, are
advised by DR.. Pierce to take his Pleasant
Pellets. They are just splendid for cos.
tiveness.

Increase in Thoroughly I'M
proved Roads.

One of the benefits Of the war is
sure to be more good roads In this
country, and in other parts Of the
world where highways have not been
reneral!y and thoroughly improved.
We used to say "better roads," but
now there is large mileage so good
that if the rest were brought up to the
best American level, nothing more
could reasonably he, asked. Many
roads in America are quite worthy OF
compArison with any in Europe. All
we need is more of them, and then
still more until the country Is grid
ironed and netted with such highways.
