traction at popular prices IS in ltSelt triumph Ill managerial way.
 Surrounding the more serious head line offering Is collection of acts calculated through their liberal sup ply of comedy to make a bill of high diversity. First there is Will liam B. Friedlander's new production, Cave Man Love-" a musical comedy novelty that under ordinary condi- tions would be chosen to headline the bill. This act has all the ear marks of Friedlander staging. It is novel, has sparkle in it's comedy and catchi- ness in it's music. The cast in Cave Man Love" Is headed by Zella Ram beau and Helen Coyne
 Touching the heights on vaEde- vile novelty is the famous Chinese quartet, the Ming kee Four, the Ce- lcstial harmonists who have scored one of variety's biggest lifts The fact that four natives of the FloWery Kingdom are seen and heard in popu- lar melodies is indeed something novel and with this Is added a real musical value as each of the four has remarkable voice.
 It IS safe to state that the stage of the silent drama has seldom given the. picture screen a more stirring, interesting and gripping a diNma as The Wakefield Case" a truly master picture starring Herbert Rawlinson

and was therefore requested to head off a fight if possible. Reilly would n't interfere further than 10 say that keating wouldn't hold the two jobs if elected.
 But Heating had other plans in the works and instead of running him self had meeting called, OstenSibly by "Ihe Registration Committee" of the party, at Harmonic Hall on Au- gust D. which meeting, according 70 the invitations, was to discuss i'm pOrtant matters of party interest As d result many staunch Cahillites were inVelgled to the session and when about 100 had assembled, keating promptly announced the candidacy of Mr. Kelly for the general registrar ship and urged those present to sup port him. Many were indignant at the trick played them and left the meeting, promptly reporting the oc- currcnCc to MT. Cahll and the fight was on.
 The battle began in earnest when the primary registration started two weeks ago and went into barrage of bitterness today when Registrar Cahill declined to register I,2O7 names filed by Mir. Kelly and Mr. Heating on last Friday night an hour after the registration time had closed The names were taken to the first ward registration place instead of be- ing taken to the wards wherein the persons named reside and, under the state laws, MT. Cahill refused to re- ceive them. He had personally, just previous to the closing of the regis tration hours, made a tour of the city filing names left at the general regis off 1I ha ION- md week. The law provides that the names shall be listed with the several deputies in the wards where the voter resides and in refusing to ac- cept them, MT, Cahill points out that MT. Heating having been registrar before, knew we'll the law and used the tactics he did to embarrass~ the Cahill adherents, when he found he couldn't get them around to the sev- eral wards i'll time.
 Ever since the defeat of two years ago, the Heating faction of the party has been bitter against the victorious Cahill men and much of the respon- sbiity for the big republican sweep here last fall is laid to their inactiv ity, especially i'll registering the Wom- en voters. Now they are trying to foist this blame on Mr. Cahill and his deputies. Meanwhile the republi- can leaders, having the lesson of last fall in front of them, are egging the fight on, seeing in it the only possible means of defeating Mayor FitzGer- aid for another term. The other democratic city office holders, espe- cially Town Clerk Doughan, who is ardently supporting MT. Heating, may also be drawn into the fight and sui fer consequently at the polls. This is all meat and gravy for the republi- cans who are already whetting their political knives in anticipation of a good old democratic scalping.

STRIKE INSURANCE
 BLOWS UP; BANG IS
 HEARD OVER LAND
Liabilities of Company Formed to Bust Unions Million Over
 Assets Now.

Baltimore, Sept. 2.-The strike in surance and strikebreaking plan Of the Employers Mutual Insurance and Service Company has hit the rocks,
 A commission appointed by the court reports that the company's lia- bilitics exceed its assets by about $l 100000 and possibly considerably more.
 Circuit Judge Dobler has ordered that a receiver be appointed for the company unless it proves it is capable of paying it's debts.
 State Insurance Commissioner kcating was a member of the com mission that investigated the com pany under order of the court. The following recommendation was in Cluded in the commissions report:
 That an injunction be issued sus- pending the business of the company and that receivers be appointed to take charge of the estate and assets of the company and to administer the same and wind up it's affairs under the direction of this honorable court and that the charter of said company, as an insurance company, be annulled and forfeited.'
 The commission held that the com pany was doing business in violation Ot the laws Ot the state Ot Mary land and had not sufficient assets to carry on it's business; that it was insolvent and unable to pay it's losses. The commission indicates that the 44-hour strike of the printing trades was the final blow to the company. Organized labor has been ceaseless in it's publicity agitation that the company is a strikebreaking institu- ton. This position is sustained by Leroy Lane, assistant to President Edward C. Myers of the company, who acknowledged that the company maintained an employment service to furnish employees to employers who were having labor troubles.
 In acknowledging that organized labor exposed this company Lane pleaded that employers who had in sured should waive their claims
 rather than permit trade unionists to point to this latest victory.
 "I believe the insured would put beyond any question of indemnity, if necessary, the moral effect of con | tinued operation of the company said Lane. If receivers are appointed it will be the biggest feather in the cap of organized labor that has ever happened in this country"

Cap Makers Allege
 Wrong Man Run In

Following the fning in the city court yesterday of Samuel Prager, a capmaker of 25o Cedar street, of $50 and costs for alleged assault on Charles Smith, a non-union strike breaker at work in the Mortimer Neumann Co.,, of Commerce street, against which strike has been on for two months. Prager at once took an appeal baSing it on the claim that he was not involved in the reported assault but simply happened to be near the scene of the trouble. Prager is a capmaker but not among the strikers at the Commerce street shop Witnesses testified that he wasn't in VOlVcd in the rumpus over Smith and Smith himself couldn't identify him as the man who hit him. Others said he was, however, and Judge Hoyt imposed the fine, taking occasion to remark that 1t was another case of people attempting to interfere with those who want 10 work.
 Smith had another case in the court few days before when he had two women arrested for calling him "scab" and other like names. The women, on his testimony, were fined $25 and costs and paid up. Judge Caplan was on the bench that day and also issued an cdict against strikers, their wives or anyone else interfering with the strikebr eakers
 The women were wives of strikers.

WHEN IS A TON OF
 COAL NOT A TON?
If It Happens to Be in a Five Ton Truckload the Consumer Is
 Taking a Chance.

Whether d ton of coal Is a ton of coal If its delivered on a tlve-tOn truck IS a problem that the average man cannot bank on solving, according to reports made to the New Haven Trades Council last night by committee appointed at the last meeting to investigate the com plaints that the Warner-Miller company and kOnold Company had declared "Open shop and were employing non-union coal handlers i'll unloading their boats. The committee reported that while it seemed true that the two companies were antagO- niStiC to union men, there was yet pos sibility of ad juSting matters and the re port of progress was accepted.
 The report, however, brought out some interesting facts. The coal handlers don't work every day only when barges arrive and have to be unloaded, ill a hurry, of course, to save demurrage charges. The two firms complained of, used as an excuse, 1t was said, that the men insisted on going to work on the quarter hour and quitting on that sched- ule instead of the regular time. The men didn't care hang, 1t was said, but followed custom only. There are usual ly four men to a boat and they shovel up anywhere from 175 to 200 tons of coal a day after which 1t is passed on to the consumer.
 There is where the rub about a ton comes in. If it happens to be punched ill among five tons, the chances are some one is going to be shy and some lucky fellow get over weight. There is five tons on the load alright but it is seldom distributed evenly i'll the bags and where one fellow loses perhaps hundred or two pounds the other fellow gains. The only safe way, 1t was pointed out, is to order five tons at once or insist on one or two ton loads. Outside that there is the way, of course, of weighing each bag at the cellar window, but with coal at $14.25 ton, the average householder cannot spare the time away from work to weigh it.

Heating Faction Again
 Seeking Control to Put
 County Safe For Reilly
Trot Out Terry" Kelly, Recently Ousted From Revenue Office, to Make Run Against Cahill-K ely to Get Jail Job Later, Is the Report Among Party Men.

In it's efforts to secure control of the New Haven city democratic or ganization and therefore be sure of controlling the New Haven county congressional district and probate district conventions next fall, the keating-Reilly faction of the party has started another rumpus within the party and, of course, concen- trated its drive against the office of general registrar, now held by Thomas F. Cahill, who defeated Jail CT Heating in red hot primary fight two years ago. But instead of keatlng coming out in the open as a candidate for the office this year, he has substituted Terrence B. Kelly as the nominee and 1t Is currently re- ported in democratic circles that if Kelly should happen to land, he will soon resign and will the office of reg iStrar to Mir. Heating, who in turn and MT. Kelly be named to that berth.
 Kelly has but recently been re- tired from the office of chief deputy of the internal revenue office, which he held for seven or eight years and there is a considerable feeling in the party about kicking him into an other office just because he was eased out of a federal berth. ThesroW that has started however, bids fair to be a bitter one and may react seriously against the entire party ticket in the city election in October
 While democrats at large may think they are going to settle the question among themselves, the results of the recent primary registration shows that the republicans are going to have a great deal to say about it. Hun dredS of consistent republicans have been registered on the democratic primary lists by the Heating faction and it is hinted with the connivance of republican powers that be, in the hope of not only upsetting the Cahill faction, which has had nothing to do Mayor FitzGerald out and making him take sides and thus bringing faCtional feeling in the party against him. In the last primary fights the mayor kept consistently out of the squabble and will probably do the same this time, despite the efforts to make him line up with the Heating faction.
 While the fight has been pending for several months, inspired by MT kcating's desire to come back and the desire of his faction to control the entire party machinery to their own ends, it was expected that Keat- ing would come out in the open and run the race. Two years ago one of the things used against him was that he held the office of jailer and want ed 10 be registrar too and that work ed 10 perfection, the party men not for it. Sheriff Reilly, who lx s, of course, vitally interested in the | outcome of the local primary fight :.

was too late, didn't change the situa- tion in the primary fight one iota. It's just where 1t was in the begin ming, game of the county crowd to dominate the city next year when state, sheriff, and congressional nom nations will be in the foreground Not a whit does this crowd care whether the present administration of New Haven, admittedly fine one, is returned again or not. They want control next year and Mayor FitzGer aid and the rest of his fellow officers down 10 the aldermen can go hang for all the other crowd cares.
 THE LABOR NEWS is therefore going to use some journalistic, poetic or whatever other kind of license you desire to call it, and reprint below the summary of the situation as it appeared in our issue of August 19 and that tells the story. It IS as fol lows.

tcCtion of the liberties of the people.
 "This bill intends to grant to the judicial branch of our government a power which will place the liberties of our people under it's complete domination. It IS a bill that has no justihablc cause for it's proposal and bill that has for it's purposes the attainment of ends in complete vari- ancc with our democratic institutions and which conflicts with constitution al safeguards.
 "It is inConceivable that the rights and liberties of American freedom shall be left to the complete eXClu- sivc mercy of judges clother with ex- traOrdinary power. We are driving altogether too rapidly towards judi Cial autOCraCy.
