ments which were to have terminated
last Friday. The overtime order IS
not final, however. 1t was hoped that
the railroads and employees would
soon reach agreements relating to
rules and working conditions. Hail
union leaders to the number of more
than a Thousand met in Chicago to
decide whether the employees should
accept the wage cut and to try to
avert a tie-up in the country's trans
portation facilities.
In the Chicago district it appeared
the efforts of Judge Lands as arbl-
traitor would result in the ending OF
the controversy that has tied up all
building operations for a long time.
The carpenters were the last to yield.
There was rejoicing in England at
the news that the great strike of Brit
ish coal miners had been ended and
that the men would return to the
pits on July 4. The government
grants a subsidy of ten million pounds
to avert the hardships of the next
three months due to wage reductions.
By the terms of the settlement a new
wage basis will come into effect for
the next eighteen months whereby the
miners receive 20 per cent above the
pre-war scale of wages, with an adj
ditional share of profits, which will
be regulated by the creation of ma
tional board and district boards. The
strike thus ended lasted "a days and
is considered the most injurious Eng
land ever suffered, because it crippled
so many industries and affected all
classes of the population.
Lloyd Georges effort to arrive at
friendly solution of the Irish trouble
by inviting De Valera and an associ-
ate to confer in London with him and
with Sir James Craig, premier of I'll
ster, appears to have failed as have
all other attempts to settle the row.
Craig agreed to the conference, but De
Valera has baked. At first the Irish
president" wrote to Lloyd George a
temporizing letter, and invited Craig
to meet him in Dublin for an exchange
of views. Craig declined and De
Valera wrote him: mir. Lloyd
Georges proposal, because of its i'm
plications, is impossible of acceptance
in it's present form. Irish political
differences should be adjusted and
can, l believe, be adjusted on Irish
soil. 1t is obvious that in negotiating
peace with Great Britain the Irish del
egation ought not to be divided, but
should act as unit on some common
principle"
A London newspaper says the au-
thorities have discovered and frus-
trated a plot to murder the British
cabinet ministers. It says the police
are seeking three men sent to Lon
don to do the assassinating. They
are French medical student, an Irish
man from the western part of the
United States and Spaniard. The
same paper declares the forces of the
Royal Irish constabulary are to be
quadrupled at once.
Rather Unexpectedly, King Constan-
tine refused to defer his projected
offensive against the Turkish Nation
alists and permit the allies to try to
mediate. 1t was believed he knew
the Turks were getting ready to at
tack with Bolshevist aid and deter
mined to strike first. The British ex-
erted extreme pressure on the Greeks,
and up to the time of writing the only
fighting has been a rather bloody con-
f1ict while the Greeks were withdraw
ing from Ismid. Thursdays news dis
patches indicated that Constantine had
good grounds for his apprehension.
The allied troops in Constantinople
were called into action to forestall a
vast uprising planned by the Turks
and the Bolsheviki, which was to be
accompanied by the destruction of pub
lie buildings. The Bolsheyik head
quarters were raided, quantities Of
weapons seized and several ringlead-
ers arrested.
In the death roll Of the week APP
pear two notable names. Charles ].
Bonaparte, eminent citizen of Balti-
more and cabinet member during the
Roosevelt administration, died at his
country home He was granddaughter
of the great Napoleon. Lady Ran
dolph Churchill, who was Jennie
Jerome of New York, passed away
as the result of injuries received last
May. Probably no other American
woman has had SO great an Influence
