CHEST Of SILVER
To Be GIVEN CARL|N
Former Congressman Will
Be Honored By
Citizens
MR.. PALMER TO SPEAK
Attorney Generals Address Under
Auspices Of Cameron Club-Big
Demand For Tickets.

Since the announcement by the
ladies of the Cameron Club that
Attorney General A. Mitchell Pal
mer will address them at Elks Hall
on Monday night next, the demand
for tickets has been very great, and
now that it is known that on the
same OCCASION the chest of silver
and gold watch which. have been
purchased by contribution of the
citizens of Alexandria is to be pre-
scented to Hon. C. c. Carlin, re-
newed interest is manifest, and an
increased demand for tickets is the
result.
The Cameron Club is being be-
ing besiegcd. Those asking for
tickets first arc the first to receive
but as the hall is limited to a seat
ing capacity of 400. tickets will. of
course, have to be limited to that
extent.
1t is understood that Judge SAM
uel G. Brent will make the presen-
taticr address on behalf of the city
of Alexandria.
The subject to be selected by the
Attorney General will probably be
current events. This, however,
will be announced later.
All those who contributed to the
gift of silver will be furnished with
tickets. If there should be any
omission a simple statsment., at
door will admit party without tick
cts.

The reply :, of President Go:npers
of the labor group as to whether it
would make any concessions or: go
back ;nto the conference was:
"We have withdrawn until the
conditions are changed. That ends
it so far as we are concerned. We
are not jumping jacks. We are not
only responsible as citizens but re-
Sponsible to millions of workers"
President Gompers also said that
his information was that the en-
ployers group voted against the
last stand resolution by labor on
collective bargaining by a majority
of one. Other members of the
