ion does not grant the relief asked

Since that time several other
bills have been introduced but no

whereby one system receives less
than a fair return and the other
IN. excessive return can be obtained
Until some change in the taxation
methods is adopted or until a
merger Of the several companies is
sfrected."

PARIS, July 30.-Parisiennes are
waiting with suppressed amusement
to see whether that political speed
demon, Clemenceau, will be hailed
into court for exceeding the auto

Toul, or whether he will escape.
1t is true, Clemenceau was not
in his machine when the chauffeur
dashed through the town and was
pinched. The chauffeur loyalty tried
not to reveal who was the owner
of the car, but the discovery was
made, and the Tiger. under the
French law, must go to court -un-

LONDON, July 3o.-King George
today replied to Lord Northciines
denial taat in an interview in New
York he quoted what purported 10
be a conversation between the
King and Prime Minister Lloyd
George. The Kings message was
cabled by Lord Stamfordham. his
secretary. 1t read:

sage to the King. His majestey IL

by his authority by the Premier IN

Called Fabrication.
The settlement made in commons
bv the Premier in reading a mes
sage from the King was that no
such conversation had been held
with Lloyd George and that the
statements in the alleged interview
were "a complete fabrication"
London newspapers were In
clined to treat the situation jocu-
larly today, several referring to IL
as "a little show.

NEW YORK, July 30.-Dismissins
from mind incidents of the last few
days growing out OF his feud with
President Lloyd George of Great
Britain, Lord Northcliffe, noted
British publisher, left here tonight
l. T. Of tho world
His first stop will be toronto TO-
morrow.
Accompanying Northclife was
II. wickham Steed, publisher OF
his London Times.
Northcliffe forgot his controversy
with Lloyd George in the more ac-
tive competition of the golf course
today. Steed spent his time en-
deavoring to trace an interview
wrongfully charged TO Northciine'
which caused a furore in England,
because it contained alleged quo
tations from conversation be-
tween King George and the Prime
Minister. -
1t Was steed's Interview.
The same conversation appeared
in the New York Times as part OF
an interview with Steed himself.
Steed declared he did not attempt
to quote the King and his Prime
Minister. The interview was cablsd
to England and appeared in several
papers there ascribed to Lord
Northcliffe.
Northcliffe's denial, cabled i'm
mediately after word was received
that the King had repudiated the
alleged conversation repeated in
the interview, eIicited an answer
from Lord Stamfordham. the Kings
secretary.
The publisher dismissed the
whole subject with the assertion
that he thought II would all blow
over in a few days. He was more
interested in the golf game he had
just played with Thomas w. La
mont on a Long Island course.
How did you pIay!" he was
asked.

sponse.

Frederick Hahn, violinist and teach

of his own compositions.
Mr.. Hahn began with the familiar
suite in Z fat by Edward Schuett,
which he played we'll, although palpa =

own compositions in two groups, and
showed considerable ability as a com :
poser for his own instrument. Mr.. Hahn
Is familiar with the resources Of the
violin from beginning to end. and he
makes effective use Of this knowledge
in his works. All Of those which he
played last evening are in the smaller
forms. and they made a very favorable
impression upon the audience.
For the closing number Of the con

Dr.. Batten Tells of Efforts to
Bring Employer and En-
pIoye Together
CLERGY PUSHING INQUIRIES

The Rev. Samuel Zanc Batten, ID.
d., told todoy of the results OF nm in
vestigation being made in the Kensing-
ton mill district by the Interchurch
Federation,
This investigation into the textile sit E.
uatioii was undertaken BY mn industrial
relations commission of the federation
Dr. Batten Is chairman of the commits
sion, which is made UP Of clergy and
laymen of several denominations.
This Is very complex problem, I"
said DIR. Batten. 1--WE are trying to
bring together representatives Of the
employers and the workers so they may
consider all the questions involved. To
many employers, and many workers,
too, this seems to be question of
wages only. It is really a deeper prob
lem. The workers feel they are more
than mere hands, they want to be taken
into conference with their employers.
The employers, upon the other hand
feel the workers have been lying down
on the job. il is a matter of misin-
derstanding all around. We are trying
to get together committee of repre-
sentative men to act as hrbitrators-to
be the conveners Of groups of workers
and employers. We want TO have the
whole situation gone over thus in con
terence.
This is not question of radical
labor leadership today. There are thou :
sands Of people out of work. The EN-
ployers are making radicals by thou
sands upon thousands. There Is no
question about that.
"A prominent labor leader from Ken
sington came TO see me the other day,
and he was sincerely worried. The rad :
icals were increasing in his organiza =
ton. he said, and he was very much
afraid they would get out of hand
" In this connection I might say some
Of these Chamber Of Commerce men are
among the most dangerous in the coun
try. BY their unyielding dictatorial at-
titude they are making Bolshevists.
There Is no doubt about il, upon the
part of some there is an attempt {,
break the labor unions. They will no
succeed. The unions have made mis-
takes, it is true. Well, the only mar
who does not make mistakes is out il
the cemetery. The unions are here t,
