ME|GHEN SAILS ID ATTEND MEET OF
 PRIME MINISTERS
Canadian Premier to Press Re- neWaI of Anglo Jap Treaty Upon Condition It Is Sat
 isfactory to U. s.
By Associated Press

Quebec, June 6.-(By the Canadian ess.)-Arthur Meghen, prime min ister of Canada, sailed for London today to attend the imperial conference of British prime ministers and leading statesmen, where he will press for con- sideration renewal of the Anglo-Jap- anese alliance as one of the four ques- tions which are sufficiently important to be settled at this conference.
 The most important questions to be discussed, in the minds of most Canad- ians, will be the Anglo-Japanese treaty and 1t has been intimated from London that the British government will not renew it unless the dominions favor it.
 Thus far MT. Meighen has not pub- licly proclaimed his position on the question, but it is understood in reliable circles that he vii support the treaty's renewal only upon the condition that it be satisfactory to the United States. Under existing circumstances, 1t is be- lieved he will be influenced by evil dence proving that such an alliance would serve the best interests of the British people. The majority of mem perS Tn the Canadian House of Commons hold the same view with the stipula- tion that the treaty should be executed in such a way as not to antagonize the united States or impair British chances of greater friendship with the American people.
 First fin History
 The conference which opens at 10 Downing street on June 21 is the first of its kind in the history of the British empire. It represents the first attempt to have the dominions formulate a foreign policy for the empire differ- ing entirely from the imperial war con- ference, which concerned itself solely with affairs of defense, and from the imperial war cabinet, conference. of selected ministers of the various gov ernors of the United Kingdom, which has no successor in peace times.
 The Canadian minister is particularly anxious to postpone discussion of the military and naval defense. He has taken the ground that the present con- ference affords neither the time nor the place for considering armaments and he will propose that the problem be taken up at the constitutional conference later At that time he expects inter- national difficulties to have cleared and naval experts to have reached some agreement as to the most useful@type' of fighting craft to build.

GEORGES TELLS JOE
 JEANETTE IN FIRST

Manhassett, N T., June 6.-Georges Carpenters flying right hand punch felled ponderous Joe Jeanette in the first round of two-round sparring session at the Frenchman's training camp today.
 The knockdown blow was landed after a half minute of fighting. Car pentier. for the first time since he started training, unleashed all his speed.
 After infighting with Jeanette, Georges stood off and began beating a tattoo on the big negroes jaw and body. Then he jabbed Joe on the chin. crossed with the right, and Jeanette's feet went from under him and he fell heavily on his back.
 Carpentier motioned to photogra- phers not to develop the picture they had snapped, and then assisted Jean cite to his feet. They worked lightly for the rest of the round. Carpenter then called Journee for one round and Jeanette came back for another ses- sion later.
 This morning Georges spent his us- ua1 two hours in the woods. He suf- fered slight cut on his left leg, in hurrlling a fence, but the injury did not appear to bother him. The French man was in superb condition. He per- spired freely during the workout and his wind was exceptionally good
 Trainer Gus Wilson announced that hereafter Georges would appear for newspaper men only on Mondays ano Thursdays. Heretofore he has been working for them Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
 'Carpentier.'' he said, "has started serious training and wants secrecy"

tion fair. Then our problem will be solved"
 This proposed raise in street car fares is an economic and not polfti- cal question" declared c. w. Sanders, Ensley attorney. "The great trouble is that many people consider it onlJ from a prejudicial viewpoint.
 T hold no brief for the street rails way but I do know that a car servics is a necessity to Ensley and other su- burbs and that a company which can't borrow money and is in the hands oi a receiver must take in enough money to run.
 The unfair part of the thing is that we Ensley people are being called on to make good the losses sustained on South Highlands, the loop lines and other short hauls 1t would be no hardship to those people to give up Jit- neys for they can get to town in q few minutes on the cars. When We were forcibly taken into Birmingham we were told that we must sacrlfice some of our rights and privileges for the common good
 Now I think the people of South Highlands and other short lines should be wiling to make some sacrifices for the common good. Since we must use the cars we are called on to pay far giving them two services when one is ample There can be no ques- tion that the matter would be greatly benefited if the jitneys were strictly regulated, if they were made hapie for damages, required to run evei y where the cars do and maintain serv- t1 inc year.
 Miss Joel Walker .of, Bessemer, sales- lady for a Birmingham department store: Another increase in street car fare at this time is most unjust in my opinion and will certainly work hard- ship on girls living in Bessemer ana working in Birmingham. When the last increase went into effect instead of being raised | cent each way our fare was increased 3 cents each way, making an increase of cents day
 "As it is now we are paying 42 cents a round trip and get cars every zV minutes during the day and every oV minutes at night and in the morning and evening when we are going to ana from work it is not uncommon for us to have to stand practically the en- tire way.
 "The proposed increase at this time will make us pay 4S cents a day ana in my opinion that is entirely too much It seems to me that people living in the city who get cars more often than we do could stand a z- cent raise better than we can stand 6-cent increase at this time.'
 Miss Hazel Bostick of Bessemer, em- ployed by a Birmingham department store. ''If the Birmingham Railway, Light & Power Co. must increase car fare I think they should not increase the Bessemer fare any more. l-cent increase for others means scent ln-

BILL AT LOEW'S OF
 UNUSUAL MERIT.


 The five acts of vaudeville and the feature picture. "A divorce of Con- venience," which constitutes the pro- gramme at Loew's Bijou for the first half of this week is one that is long on comedy and short of dull moments drought the bill.
 The vaudeville offering is opened with a trickster of the first order, Frank Shepard, who proves to the audience that the hand is quicker than the eye. Shepard has a new and original line of tricks but the main success of the act was the laughs caused by his witty chatter.
 Joe and Bertha Burke in their farce comedy playlet "A Western Union Flirtation." occupied the second spot on the bill, and though they came little early on the bill for a playlet they won many laughs.
 Rita Shirley, billed as the little Broadway favorite, sang a number of songs of the jazz type. Her songs and dances were practically all of this type but they were not suggestive and she won several encores for her efforts.
 sullivan and Mack proved that they were really specialists on the saxophone and they were forced to answer to several encores. The Royal Trio, acro- battles completed the vaudeville offers ing.
 "A Divorce of Convenience" photo- play with Owen Moore in tho leading role, completed the programme.

ZANE GREY'S 1.-THE MAN OF
 THE FORESTv AT TRIANON.

An excellent picturization of Zane Grey's "The Man of the Forest" While broadly speaking, this is q western drama or melodrama, the production is far above the usual ''wcstern." Written by a master in the craft of stories of adventure and excitement the story presents many thrilling and dramatic moments The cast is well selected and some of the western scenes are of surpassing beauty.
 Helen Raynor and her sister, Bo, leave the east for the picturesque ranch of their uncle. Helen, who has been accustomed to cooped in east ern existence, is charmed with the championship Of the man from the forest" fresh and manly type. 1t is love at first sight but a series of truly original complications that set in keep the affair from coming to a tame and untimely, though happy, so- lution. The complications embody much thrilling incident, and fight in a mountain cabin that is anything but usual

FIVE FINE ACTS ARE
 ON BILL AT THE LYRIC

s The full house that greeted the rise of the curtain on the first number d the Lyric Monday was justified by a perfectly delightful bill. Not a single act falls short of the best Keith stan- dard The opener is a breezy Scottish act filled with dancing and singing. The participants are two girls, both pretty. and a man. A well appreciated effort
 Just the kind of girl associated with the name of Betty" is Betty Washington who plays the violin anu steps about the stage. Her violin solos are fine, but what makes Betty so popular is her picturesque ap- pearance She did the unusual thing by appearing in costume with bare feet to play her later pieces,
 Almost every form of vaudeville en- tertainment is found in the act. "Old Black Joe Land.n There is black-facc comedy, singing and the violin. fea- Joe's snappy rendition when he ac- companies the orchestra with bones" is irresistably rythmic. This act elicited much laughter and got long hand.
 The hit of the afternoon was the Leighton act, where black face and very engaging well dressed chup get off many witty jokes, none of which failed of appreciation. Follow ing the jokes are series Of humorous songs. accompanied by banjo Thess songs in particular made hit.
 Effie Hartwell makes them laugh ia her act by her spoiled kid manner and mode of talking. She and Billy Potter sing ana dance and joke. They closa the excellent bill with appreciative applause

DIR. Grant Warns Papers
That Stir Group Hatred

The Rev. Dr. Percy Stickney Grant
in his sermon last night at the Church
of the Ascension warned the press Of
America against fostering controvcr-
sizes between groups of citizens, urging
that efforts be made to educate and
give understanding
Il feel that we should not try to stir
up animosities but rather to settle
differences" said DR.. Grant. My feel
ing about the press is that it should
not be representative OF private inter-
ests or of different groups in this coun-
try, but that it should be fair to every
side Of every matter of interest.
Il was older than Jesus Christ was
when he died before ! realized that
newspaper editors did not write their
own views, and that was a shock to me.
Because of the attitude of our own
papers we sometimes have to get our
news from other countries. We paid
no attention TO the Mooney case until
Mr.. Root was refused welcome in
Russia because it was felt there he
represented interests in this country
that were responsible for MONEYS
conviction in California 1t ought to
he the duty OF newspapers to throw
light on all our problems and not to
obscure them"

Ten per cent more women are look

drive to find work for women. Regis
tration is to be conducted by Y. w. C..

last month applied for work "There
has been great increase in our social
service cases. Last winter and spring
we were surprised that there were not
more calls from girls in distress from
poverty. They must have had some re-
sources to carry them over the crisis

Die Walkure' Is Theme
Of DamrOsch's Recital

Die Walkure" was the theme Of Wal
ter Damrosch's explanatory recital at
Aeolian Hall yesterday afternoon, and a
large audience welcomed the second in
Stallment of his serial story of the
Wagner Nibelungen Ring operas. He
devoted two-thirds of the recital to the
first act, which he called the most per-
fectly constructed OF all Wagner's
magics, showing the extremes Of feeling
done with artistic restraint, in which
not note is superfuous.
Referring TO the leopards drawing
Frickas chariot Mr.. Damrosch admitted
that Wagner had a weakness for animals
on the stage. This was his quarrel with
Wagner, for the stage should be reserved
for artists, and animals We're not ar
lists. In his own operate career he
had tried everything, but failed; the
best mechanical beasts only spoiled the
effect of Fricka part, making the audi
cuce regard her in the usual light of a
deceived wife, instead of, as Wagner had
intended. noble protectress of the
sacred laws os marriage.
Mr.. Damrosch talked and played with
enthusiasm and devotion, so that to fill
in the orchestra and the cast required
but a slight effort OF the imagination.

Yesterday. said ne was ready to inves

The employers association, Mr.. Inter.

Mr.. Untermyer's letter was in re.
sponsc to one sent him by the Mcr-
chants Association calling attention tc
the wage stipulation between the en-
ployers and the council. Mr.. Inter
myer said:
Eve must not blink the fact that the
members of the Building Trades
Council have written agreement TO,
the maintenance of the wage scale
until April. 1929. I think they are
unwise in insisting upon it under ex-
isting conditions. But it is evident
that they will not forego what they
regard as their advantage and what
basis for future day of reckoning.
Calls Employers More Vicious
THE Building Trades Employers
Association is, in my Judgment, a more
vicious organization than the council
1t encourages the insistence upon these
demands, in return for which the
constituent associations, have NO
doubt, continue to get preferences in
the way of union labor under cover
although the formal agreements assur-
ing such preferences have been
rescinded.
'If you can point out any concrete
thing that the Lockwood committee can
do to bring about the consent of the
Building Trades Council to the modif.
cation of this agreement l shall be
pleased to know what it is. .In my
judgment, there has been no drastic
reform in the council. There are now
men on the board whom / regard as
upright, but they are in the minority
Inquiry Far From Complete
Eve keenly appreciate the situation,
and you may rely upon our active CO.
operation in any practical step that
can be suggested for correcting the ex-
listing situation.
"The committee is very appreciative
of the attitude of your association
toward it's labors, as evidenced by the
resolution passed by your board of di-
rectors on December is, 1920, and we
hope to continue to deserve your good
opinion and good will.
Investigation into these labor condi-
tions Is still far from completed, and
I am expecting to take up another
phase of that situation when we recon
vene in November"
