BRITISH MINERS TO
GO BACK ON MONDAY
Will Share in Profits of Mines in
Future Under New
Agreement.

London, July 1.-The British coal
mine strike, which has been in prog
rcss since April 1, has been settled,
it was officially announced yesterday
The prime minister announced in
the house Of commons that the exccu-
tive body Of the miners union had
agreed to recommend the terms pro-
posed for a settlement of the coal
strike to the men, who will be asked
to return to work Monday.
The claim Of the miners to a nat
ional wages pool has been abandoned,
Lloyd George said land a settlement
had been attained which would insur e
peace for a long period through a
system by which the workers would
share with the employers the profits
Of the industry and would obtain a
direct interest in productivity. The
prime minister expressed the belief
that this would be the largest exam
pie of proflt-sharing in any country.
The government has recommended
a subsidy not exceeding ten million
pounds for the period until the end
Of September, Lloyd George con-
tinued, beyond which time there will
be no subsidy. Wages will be reduced
not to exceed two shillings per shift
in July, half crown in August and
three shillings in September, he said
and national wage board will be
created consisting of the employers
and the Workmen.

VETERANS INVADE
SOCIALIST MEETING
Invite Radicals Outside and Warn
Them Against Disloyalty.

Detroit, July Fifty delegates to
the convention of the disabled Amer
lean veterans of the world war invad-
ed the socialist national convention
Wednesday and warned the socialists
that the veterans are ready ito hight
to defend the flag against sed1tlon,
disloyalty and treason.
Ralph Horr of Seattle, who led the
invading veterans, told the socialists
to "step outside Of they wanted to
fight for their beliefs"
He quoted from printed reports OF
remarks of J. Louis Engdahy, to the
general effect that his section OF the
party would fight mot as 100 per cent:
Americans, but under the red flag OF
international socialism"
Cameron King, socialist delegate
from California, replied in behalf OF
the socialists: 1--WE appreciate the
sacrifices the disabled veterans of the
world war have made" he said. 1--WE
understand the impulse that drove
YOU to that sacrifice. At the same
time we have made sacrifices. We did
not believe when war was declared
that it was a Just war and because we
so believed many of our comrades
have been imprisoned. AS American
citizens we claian the right Of free
speech and free assembly and we are
going to stand on those rights.
The visit of the veterans was made
without disorder.

Ihe An1nn TheatreH
THE BIJOU

A Woman's Instincts, intuition, sixth
sense-call it what you will-can some
times solve foul murder mystery where
the machinery of logic, as embodies in
the minions of the law, fails. That is
the unusual theme at the core of 'The
Last Card" starring May Allison, which
heads the double feature bill at the Bijou
Theatre for Sunday night Those who
know what Bayard WELLER has done in
"Within The Law" and "The Thirteenth
Chair" two of the strongest melodramas
ever produced in America, will be inter-
ested in the announcement that "The
Last Card is. a Bayard WELLER produc-
ton Miss Allison has the role of Elsie
klrkWood, the happiest married woman
in town, until her husband is put in jail
tor the murder of man in the basement
of their home. Sudden inspiration makes
her realize that in some inexplicab1e,
strange way the woman next door has
had hand in the murder Acting on
this belief, Elsie sets clever trap in
which the murder is enacted to the last
touch, and the real murderer brought to
a sudden confession.
The added feature for Sunday night
features Gladys Walton in desperate
YOUTH an appealing love story adapted
from "A Kentucky Cinderella" by F.
Hopkinson Smith.
A third Sunday night feaeure that has
been attracting considerable attention is
that thrilling serial "Do or Die" star
ring Eddie Polo, the third episode of
which will be shown. A laughable COM
edy and the latest Bijou pictorial news
complete the big program.
THE Last Card" remains at the Bijou
for the first half of the week along with
the third episode of THE Yellow Arm,
splendid mystery serial featuring juan
tia Hansen, Warner Orland and Mar
guerite Cortot
The vaudeville has five big acts of
really all star vaudeville, featuring The
Dancing Chicks, a song and dance or
ganization of charming misses, graceful
'ly gifted and trained in the art of ter
pslChOre and the muse of orpheus-What-
ever that may mean. Another winner is
Tarsan, the sensation of the season Tar
san will create more speculation than a
whole city of Wall Streets. The origin
bf man is still more or less scientifically
in doubt. The Tarsan specie is a decid-
ed doubt. Then there is Pagana, the girl
with the Piquant Personality The very
name "Pagana" sounds musical 1t is
just the cognonen of a great violinist or
pianist would have, and in this case Pag-
ana happens to be a very charming young
girl who plays the violin beautifully
Two other big acts will complete the
vaudeville bill.

Well Known Electrical Union Men,
J Der to Watch Over Alarm

Tohn C.. Burian, who for the past
II wears was employed in the electrl-
cal department of the New Haven
road and a we'll known member OF
Local 400, Electricians, has been ap-
pointed TO the city's fire fighting
forces and in the future will see that
the fire alarm system is kept in tip
TOP shape. Burian, under c. S. Dow,
had charge of the telephones in the
crew dispatcher's offices throughout
this district and the experience gained
in this particular line will no doubt
make him very valuable aQd1tlo1l
to the fire department.

AS foreman Burian won the conn

JITNEYS

protected This despite that thous-
ands OF. citizens all over the state have
appeared at public hearings and de-
manded the retention, with regulation,
of the jitney service.
The first decision was to deny right
of jitneys to run between Hartford
and Manchester and in defense of it,
the commission says that "during rush
hours, trolley cars on the line, prior
to the jitneys, were overCrowded,
while since the jitneys came in many
empty seats are noticed" Of course,
that doesn't show there was any need
of the jitneys but that the trolleys
were giving adequate service. Then
they go on, the board being unani
nous:
'In cases where the operation of
jitney service would result in the dis
continuance and abandonment of
trolley service otherwise possible to
exist, the commission will be inclined
to refuse a certificate of public con-
venience and necessity although ur-
gently claimed by patrons of the jit-
ney, at least until the substitute serv-
ice shows more stability and per-
manenCy than at present, and more
substantial assurance that it will con-
tinue to render adequate service in
the future"

ALLY or collectively for any reason
which they consider sufficient and that
to deny them this right means to re-
vive the medieval institution of in
voluntary servitude; that they have
the right to induce their fellowwork-
ers to join them in their struggle Tor
economic betterment and to quit work
for hostile employers; that the en-
ployer has no property right in labor,
as labor is neither a commodity or an
article of commerce..
Solve Race Question
The Federation ordered confer
ence to be called within 90 days to
discuss the question of eliminating
race and sex restrictions in those int
ternational union constitutions where
they still are found The decision to
follow this course is a triumph Of
voluntary action and tribute to the
serviceability of voluntary action as
principle.
The convention also endorsed the
44-hour fight in the commercial print
ing industry and condemned the en-
ploying commercial printers for
breach of agreement. By this action
the convention went on record for the
faithful observance OF collective
agreements. The vote was interpreted
to mean that contractual obligations
must not be disregarded.
In the same session the convention
refused to adopt a resolution calling
for the six-hour workday. The con-
movements must be initiated by the
affiliated unions themselves. Any
affiliated body, however, that under
takes a shorter work-day movement
in its own field will have Federation
support, according to the action.
One question Of amending the con-
stitution to change the convention
time from June to October, but this
proposal was defeated. The question
of leaving the choice of the conven-
ton city to the executive council also
was defeated.
The Federation by overwhelming
majority, decided not to reafiliate
with the International Federation OF
Trade Unions until the viewpoint OF
the American Federation of Labor is
Federation.
Russia and Mexico
By the same strong vote the con-
vention endorsed the report of the
executive council on Russia, APPROX
ing thereby the councils unwavering
opposition to sovetism and bolshe
vism, repeating the pledge of friend
ship to the Russian people.
These two reports, together with
the report on Pan-American affairs,
in which the hope for early recog-
milton Of Mexico was asked, consti-
tutc the federation's declaration of in
ternational policy this year.
Expressing. the hope that Mexico
could soon be accorded recognition
by the United States government, the
convention approved the action of the
| American delegates to the recent Pan
| American Federation of Labor con-
lvention, and decided that hereafter
there should be closer relations by
correspondence with the Mexican
Federation Of Labor.

THE PALACE

In many ways "Cheated Love-" which
comes as a Palace screen feature for
! Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednes-
day, reminds one of that powerful pro-
duction "Humoresque." 1t is the story
of a merchant of New Yorks east side
and of his beautiful daughter who comes
to this country known only on the great
ship and in the immigrant station as
: mo. g." The part of the daughter is
the leading role played so faithfully by
Carmel Myers, the young star who is
making most rapid strides in the silent
drama Many scenes in the play are laid
in and about the little YiddiSh theatre
where a group of earnest and conscienti-
Gus artists are trying to express their
feelings and emotions under the most
trying conditions. Carmel Myers as a
beginner in this little company plays a
role of unusual strength. Heart interest
lis the main keynote that sounds the Sue
cess of Cheated Love-" Not only is a
Istrong vein Of parent love and effection
brought into prominence but a romance
is developed that forms most delight
full and pleasing love story.
The special screen feature for the Sun
+ day evening program is His Brothers
Keeper" with Martha Mansfield as its
star. This interesting story affords
many possibilities for Installation and
INSTALLATION and forms very fine
'photoed drama The Kineto Revue and
the Seznick News Weekly, an illustra-
ted magazine of the worlds events, are
+ other features OF the Sunday evening
program.
} In The Magic Fan" Palace vaudeville
for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
; has a remarkably fine and unique head
liner. This, in a way, is musical fantasy );
its book being the work of James Madi-
son with music by Walter Rosmont. "The
Magic Fan" is one of those vaudeville
conceptions that appear every now and
then to delight audiences who admire and
enjoy original ideas. In Valentine Vox,
known in vaudeville as THE Clubman,
the Palace bill has what is considered the
highest development of the art of VEN
tr1equilisn The ideas employed by this
artist in presenting his act place the
offering far above the conventional act
of this class. Lightning and Dotson, the
far famed colored entertainer, must be
related as they both have the same char
acteristics. DotsOn is dancer employing
comedy as a side line. His feet move
faster than whippet and if the colored
race had Mordlin his name would be
Dotson. Kay Neilen, the pretty diminu-
tive COmedenne in cleverly done Charac-
ter songs and Roy Williams and Clara
Brown in their dancing novelty complete
the Palace bill.

About the same time former Pres
ident Taft in one of his copyrighted
articles being syndicated throughout
the country by the Philadelphia Pub
lie Ledger took Mr.. Gompers' sug-
gestion as an occasion for another
shot at Organized Labor. He said ia
part:
"Mr. Gompers' proposal in the re-
cent convention of the American
Federation of Labor that union labor
and the farmers should unite to pro-
tect themselves against the rapaclty
of the capitalistic class is not new
and is not any nearer contamination
than when proposed before. Occa-
sionally the self-interests of unions
and farmers, as each class under
stands them, do lead in common &C
ton in respect to legislation and vot-
ing at an election, but more fire.
quently their interests clash.
"The radical socialiStIc tendencies
of the Non-Partisan League have led
leaders Of that organization OF farm
ers to seek combination with the
more radical socialistic element of
organized labor and with the l. w. w.
zone reason for the complete power
Of organized labor in Great Britain
is that there are not farmers enough
there to offset the labor vote. One
reason why the leaders of union labor
in this country have never thought
it wise or expedient to attempt to
engage their men in politics as a
separate political, party is that in
would be almost certain to neutrallze
their influence by rousing great OPP
position among the farmers.
"In the conflict Of interest between
groups of our people, the safety of
the republic lies in a sound public
opinion, the resultant not alone of
the views of the contending factions,
but of other groups not sel6shly in
terested in the particular issue, whose
views are impartial and look only to
the general good. Mr. Gompers' sug-
gestion that organized labor and the
farmers permanently unite against the
rest of the country is fortunately i'm
practicable Great economic and
political issues in this country will
not be settled that way"

THREE JAILED FOR
DISTRIBUTION OF
RED LITERATURE
Hartford Court Also Fines Commun-
lists for Perjury and
Contempt.

Hartford, July 1.-Harold Kreature
did not come out as well in the police
court before Judge Pallotti yesterday
as he did on Tuesday when Judge
Pallotti suspended judgment under
the complaint which charged him
with distributing literature containing
propaganda contrary to the principles
of this government. After his dis
charge he was taken by Edward ].
Hickey, an agent Of the bureau Of in
vestigation Of the United States de
partment Of justice, and he admitted
to Hickey that the testimony he gave
in the police court was false. He said
in the police court that he did not
know Anthony K. Kiengelas and An
ME Baltski, who were arrested with
him, while they were distributing the
literature, and he told Hickey that this
was all false and that he had hired
the two to distribute the literature.
He further admitted that he was an
agent in this state Of the communist
party for the distribution of literature
and that he received wages of SIS a
week.
In court Wednesday he admitted
that he had sworn to falsehood on
Tuesday. He was fined $Ioo and SEN
fenced to jail for two months for dis
tributing the literature and he was
also sentenced to Jail for three months
for perjury. Zienglas and the Baltskl
woman were also before the court
