and France for the last $50 years has
been able to steer clear of dangerous

week, after passing two or three
months in cities on the Continent. 1t
was estimated that there were 10000
Americans In London daily this month,
but, it was insisted that they were
changing about daily.
Meanwhile the agencies are trying 10
interest hotel and business men to de-
wise some means of keeping American
tourists here and to bring about reduc-
tions In hotel rates, so that these tour
lists will not be driven away from Lon
don by prices which are higher than
those at home. Merchants and hotel
keepers who figured on American pusi-
ness find that they misca alculated, and
that merry old England does not charm
as she should.
The effort now is to make London a
gayer place, because 1t is realized that
the city is at disadvantage with the
war restrictions still on.
One appeal for movement to make
London more attractive to the American
tourist says
"The programme Of the American
tourist follows:

Composed of Men Dissatisfied
With Conduct of Old
ORGANIZATIONS

Captain Thongs Allison was elected
president yesterday at the organization
meeting of a new union of harbor men.
TO be known as the United Harbor
workers. The organization is composed
of men who are dissatisfied with the
ADMINISTRATION of officials of the cid
union: 1t has headquarters at 21 Coen-

Among their complaints of the Of
ficers of established harbor unions are
that they accept fees for finding Jobs
tor aliens who are not union members,
and that some of them sell OK soap and
Jewelry or conduct rooming houses on
time for which the union is paying.

union, reported that 972 former mem
ers OF other unions had joined, and
that freight handlers union on the
Jersey water front, with 1000 mem
Ders, expected to enter the United Har-
Dor Workers in body this week.
There are to be no paid officers in
the new union, the shop steward svs-
tenn of representation being substi-
tuted. Many of those at yesterdays
meeting were so enthusiastic at the
prospects that they threw their old
union buttons out of the window, while
some who wore union emblems of gold
turned them in to be melted and sold
tor the treasury of the United Harbor
Workers.

Mine Workers Plan Vote
On Kansas Strike To-day
Boil, Sides Arrayed for Show
down on Proposal to Order
Men Back

INDIANAPOLIS. Sept. 25-While
the convention of the United Mine
Workers OF America marked time to-
day. both sides in the fight centerlng
about two Kansas strike cases sought
TO strengthen their lines for the final
showdown. Alexander Howat. presi-
dent of the Kansas miners and lead
er of the anti-administration element
opposing President John l. Lewis,
planned to demand a roll-cal vote
when debate ends, probably late to-
morrow. and this, if granted. is ex-
pected to delay final decision uncil
Tuesday.
President Lewis's recommendation
for two days, proposes that the conven-
tion direct Howat to order strikes
back TO work, and the administration
forces contend that the issue is
whether the union requires its own
men to fulfill their contracts. Under
the lead of Howat. the opposition con-
tends that operators seek to change
working conditions, which is prohib-
tied by their agreement with the min
ers. and tEat al ,ptton of Lewis's rec-
ommendation would be taking sides
with the OF rratrrs against the strikers.
AS soon ss the Kansas strike eases
are disposed OF. the delegates will
have many other questions pressing for
consideration, particularly nationaliza-
ton of the mines. strike policies af-
fecting West Virginia and other non
IN n ie ds, and new wage demands
to be made next year Framing of the
wage demands may be postponed until
next February, when the convention
will hold another session.
