We are informed by in Associated Press letter from London that fash 1onablC London tailors are disturbed lover the reported popularity of d clothes conservation movement hail. ing from the United States which is being enthusiastically acclaimed by Englishmcn wearicd of long contin- ued high clothing costs.'
 Nevertheless, the movement is growing. We do not know whether it has reached the point of formal or sanitation yet, but u good many thousands of us have informally asso- ciated ourselves with it, and recruit S are being added every day.
 The movement requires no expcnd- iture on the part of those who join it. There are no dues, no red tape, no meetings no fuss or feathers of any kind. All that a man has to do is to resolve to wear the clothes he has un- til prices come down. Some of us, as a matter of fact. have AsSocia ted ourselves with the Old Clothes League unWiilinGly. We would much rather indulge in fine apparel, but we cannot. And 50 we brush up our old blue serge, get our 1914 ONercoat cleaned and pressed, and sally forth with d NlrluOuS CONSEQUENCES that does something to offset our semi Shabbiness.
 The Old Clothes League iS already established in England also. It's mem berS "are expected 10 regard patches on trousers, shiny coat sleeves and seWn-up splits in boots and shoes as badges Of honor" Now here is the germ of a. great idea.

Makes a Statement of Unusual Facts Surrounding New OIdsmobiIc Agency
 A precedent has been established in the purchasing of the OldsmobiIe agency from McsSrs. Beeman and Barnard by MeSsrS. A. C. Cohen and A. l.. tothSch Id, prOprietorS of the Cohen Motor Co. of this city. It has been the custom for some time past that when a dealer wished to secure another dealers franchise for d hourishing agency that he would go to the manufacturer and in glowing methods would cause his competitors contract to be discontinued, as all manufacturers are constantly in search of business gettcrs. The Cohen Motor Co. however. not only proved their ability to the Oldsmobile company, but they have come into the city Of Hartford and gone a step further by paying Messrs Becman and Barnard d handsome price for them to turn over the O!dsm0bile business, including all sales parts and SerVicC.
 The Oldsmobilc is now in it's tWenty-SeCOnd year and their future is a most brilliant ono, they being featured by the General Motors Co. The cars consist of all models in open and closed vehicles, also the very popular OiG,mobile Economy Truck They arc luUrh nes of quality, comfort and beauty combined with the best mechanical H'2tures and labor known to give ,'unOmy and enduring service
 The new corporation that will dis tribute OldSmobiles consists of some of IIartford's leading business men as we'll as mon known throughout Con- necticut as pioneers in the automo- bile field MT. A. c. Cohen of New Britain and Nr. A. l.. Rothschild of Hartford will be actively agcd in the business end.
 Nels J. Nelson. known as one of Connecticut's foremost mechanics, will assume full charge of the service and parts department assisted by a staff of very skilled mechHn nic+ &crN- ice prompt and courtnou. 'i1' h" available not only to Odsmobile owners but to motorists in general.
 The new corporation has uNeue'l elegant showroOms at 33 and 3o Allyn street and large service station 1t 41-45 Wells street, both places be- ing very centrally located.
 The public is extended an invita- ton to visit these premises, where n full line is on exhibit. On November 1st new models will be displayed in New Britain.
 | It will be recalled that the Cohen Motor Company formerly handled the OldSmobile and their continuation , and expanding with the Oldsmobilc and purchasing the rights thereto when so many agencies were offered them gratis should convince any pur- chaser that the OldSmOblc is a leader Pioneer motorists in this city and vicinity have never regretted their purchase of a car featured by the Cohen Motor Company as they select cars to sell only after the most cN- haustive tests by their Nlr.

THE COAL STRIKE.

II begins to look as if the coal intention of arriving at an agreement, at least until a test of strength has been made, and that the country is to face a nation wide coal strike upon November 1, when. we arc told by union heads, that the first 600,OO0 men will lay down their tools and quit the mines. The strike is well timed from their standpoint, the coal will be the most necessary after that time, not because there is a bigger demand from the manufacturers and railroads, but because the millions of furnaces in tho country must be fed and the millions of bodies of dWelIers be warmed by artificial methods. Ire spcctivc of this, irrespective of the fact that thc family will be the great sufferer, that the public will face pos siblc death from freezing, the miners have set out to teach the operators a lesson. It may be d lesson to them, they will undoubtedly lose money. but
 think of the suffering in the popula ce this lesson.
 It is not as if the miners were, themselves. being starved by the em- ploycr5 and had to strike in self-ce- fense. This seems impossible Wages arc not the bone Of contention but | working hours are. Thirty hours d week is the time that the men are l willing to spend in producing, no 1 more. and they will listen to no argu- 1 ments. They had an agreement, made l through the recognized union bOdieS ! 10 remain at work until December i

 From the first the attitude of th'
 acting president of the miners or

 country to expect that there was littlt 1 in the conference that he has had witt | Secretary of Labor Wilson. It ha
 appeared, a couple of times, as thougI
 there might be some middle ground
 of agreement reached, but, since tn
 start of the trouble, the strike ha
 been called. It is still in effect ther 1 has never been d move to postpone ii pending arbitration.
 The operators, like the steel mer are evidently resigned to a fins l fight now that they sec one mus come, and have probably laid out thei l plans accordingly. The miners ar undoubtedly more thoroughly organ izcd than were the steel workers, the
 are able to give longer fight, but ho, long is still mystery. We have fait in the public and believe that we wi get our coal somehow, despite tn suffering that must move us to the re lief of the situation. There will l.
