 By ERNEST GREENWOOD.
 Washington, D. C., Aug. 27.-The an- nonncement of the permanent organiza- ton and establishment of the Interna- tional Labor Office of the League of Nations at Geneva, Switzerland. un- fortunately closes (for the present at least) one of the most interesting and important chapters in the history of American organized labor. For if will be remembered that 1t was the conyen- tion of the American Federation of La bor in 1914 which passed resolution containing the first concrete suggestion of providing definite international gov ernment machinery for the improve ment of working conditions. In 1o16 European labor adopted the American proposal and appointed British, French. Italian and Belgian delegates as com m1ttee to prepare a program for an in- ternational labor conference to be held at Leeds, England. the following July.
 At the Leeds conference a resolution was passed which virtually demanded that any peace treaty terminating the war should contain minimum of coali- ton, emigration, social insurance, hours of labor, hygiene and protection of la Dor. In August 1918 Samuel Gompers undertook the leadership of a delega- tion to the countries of the allied and associated powers and effectively adyo- cated the program which the federation had been urging since 1914 for an in- ternatlonal labor conference in cornec- ton with the peace conference
 At the second p1enary session of the peace conference on January g, 1919, a resolution was passed providing for commission to inquire into fife condi- tons of employment from the interna- uonal aspect and to consider the inter national means necessary to secure com mon action on matters affecting condi- tons of employment, and to recommend the form of permanent agency to con- tlnue such inquiry and consideration in cooperation with and under the direc- ton of the League of Nations"
 Representatives of the United States, the British empire, France, Italy, Japan. Belgium, Cuba, Poland and the Czecho- Slovak republic were appointed on this commission. MT. Gompers was ap- pointed president, the vice-presidents being the Right Honorable c. N. Barnes, M. F.. of England, and MT. Colliard of France Arthur Fontaine. director general of French railways, was appointed general secretary and Harold B. Butler of England, assistant general secretary. This commission held 35 meetings and drew up its con- clusions in two parts. The first con- tained the provisions for the permanent international labor organization. This organization itself is divided into two parts, CD the International Labor Con- ference and CD the International La- Dor Office controlled by a governing body.

Thomas Burke Will
Write Sketches for
Vaudeville Stage

When Edward V. Darling, chief
booking agent for the Keith circuit.
visits London early in July in search
of new material he will visit Thomas
Burke, the author of "Limehouse
Nights" and complete arrangements
for a series of vaudeville sketches
by the young author. who special
ICES in London types. Mr.. Darling
believes that vaudeville has room for
successful presentation of the
famous Burke tales of the meeting
of East AID West in Limehouse.
Burke is a vaudeville fan-a music
hall habitue who knows the artists
and their turns quite as we'll as the
men who arrange the bills. He has
genuine fair for the varieties, and
is keen to try his hand in shaping
his stories for vaudeville production.
The stage plays no favorites
Everyone and everything has a
place in the theater. provided the
something they offer is of real value.
The stories from many magazines
so to make any number of good
plays and sketches. Illustrations
have served as models for scene
artists. but now for the first time a
publication is being dramatized. The
publication is Vanity Fair" one of
the best-known fashion magazines
in the world.
OF course, Vanity Fair" has not
come to the stage cover for cover
and page for page, but the idea of
all that is fair and feminine is be-
ing used and being shaped into the
frfn Nv faf
well-known fashion editor of this
well-known monthly.
Yvette Kiviat presents Vanity
Fair" and describes this fashion
show in revue form as a dazzling
display of frocks, frills and fasci-
mating femininity. Vanity Fair" is
probably one of the most elaborate
series of stage pictures of the sea-
son.
Fashion shows usually merely
display milady's gowns on living
models. Here, however, frocks, mu-
sic, frills, fun and dance have been
welded together. There Is no one
better capable OF looking after the
sartorial display than Miss Kiviat,
and for the other parts Bobby
O'Neil and a capable company have
been engaged and then there is
music and lyrics by Bert Kalmar
and Harry Ruby.
In the Federal court in Chicago a
week or so ago William Harris was
the victor in n suit which would ap-
pear to give him once and for all
the sole right to use the title "Abra-
ham Lincoln" for a play, although
the decision may not be quite so
sweeping as IL appaars at the pres
ent moment. Mr.. Harris action
was bought against Ralph T. Ket-
tering. a Midwest playwright who
had produced a play of his own
authorship under the title "Abra-
ham Lincoln" together with GER
tain sub-titles which were SUM-
ciently informing for the discrimi-
mating but which might have de-
ceived the careless reader. The de-
cision was handed down by Judge
Kenesaw NJ. Lands.
