In the Limelight
BY George Perry Morris.
The Old school Diploma, Wins.

The resignation OF Lord Derby as
British Ambassador in Paris and
the appointment OF Lord HardInge
as his successor, marks restoration
to this important post Of diplomat
trained in the school of the past
and with wide experience. He is
expected TO show greater fnesse
just at this juncture OF strained
relations between London and Paris,
and to use the art that come with
knowledge and experience, but
which a novice, who is primarily a
financier and business administra-
tor. cannot acquire over night. as Il
were. In diplomacy as in other
phases Of governmental action,
New occasions" do teach new
duties; and with economics and
finance figuring as prominently IN
negotiations between governments
as they do today, a new sort OF
ambassador and minister has to be
bred; but you cannot rush the
process.

Nnhey-Labor's Specialist in Public
Utility strikes.

II you read OF the negotiations
now under way in New York City,
in which Gov. Smith, Mayor Hylan,
Samuel Gompers, Former Secretary
OF War Garrison and Judge Mayer
figure, you will see another name
emerging in the news story Of the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit strike. 1t is
that of James II. Vahey, general
counsel for the Amalgamated Asso-
citation Of Street and Electric Rail-
way Employees. Whenever you see
his name thus prominent you may
know that the controversy is reach
ing a stage Of compromise and rei>-
tive hnality. His specially as a law
yer is indicated by his title used
above. There is little in the law
or in the practice OF group tactics
which he has not acquired during
the years since he first won fame
in Boston negotiating with the Of
ficisls OF the local and urban trans
portation system. His speciality has
become profitable. for he is without
peer. His practice is co-eKtensive
with the national boundaries. It
may be in Boston today, New York
tomorrow and Detroit the day after.
The local strikers enter all fights
knowing that in the last analysis
they have his technical knowledge
and wisdom born Of experience %
fall back upon. Ordinary lawyers
representing capital in localities
where transportation strikes occur
do not scoIc man! p1ja-s IN This
clever Irishman.

Nearly everything from. steel to

the vaudeville theatrical field.
Vaudeville boOkers assert that
there is little or no new material

vaudeville of its best and choicest
