In the Days News

George N. Conan, who has been
taking q conspicuous part in the
efforts of the theatrical managers
to break" the actors strike, is
one of the best known and most
popular of American comedians and
playwrights, who began acting
when he was lad in knickerbock-
ers, made his first hit while still
in his early teens, and later, in
vaudeville, caught the crowd with
a sketch called The Four Cohans, -
in which he shared honors with
other members of his family
Later Mr.. Cohan came to be the
managing producer and popularizer
of plays of his own and also those
of other clever playwright AS a
writer Of popular songs he has also
earned an enviable reputation.
From his efforts as actor. play
wright. song writer, producer and
manager he has earned a fortune
that, according to popular belief,
has placed him in the millionaire
class.

TIME SAVING
MAY BE USED
NEXT SEASON
Piasterers Put Question Of Start.
ing An Hour Eearly Up to
Tri-City Builders.

Though the national time saving
law will not be in force next year
it is not unlikely that good deal
of work in the cities will be done
on that basis. Various trades and
industries are discussing resuming
the present system of chronology
next spring for the benefit they
will derive from the earlier start
and the longer evenings.
At its last meeting the local
plasterers' union adopted a reso-
luton in favor of time saving and
agreed to put the question up to
the other branches of the building
trades of the three cities. Should
a majority prove favorable to the
project it is likely that the con-
tractors will agree to work next
season an hour ahead of sun time.
This would necessitate starting at
z instead of at in the morning.
taking the noon hour between IL
and IL and quitting at 4 instead of
at 5.
Other Industries May Act.
1t is probable that time saving
will come up before spring in q
number of local industrial fields.
