THE BIJOU.

The grand reopening of the Bijou is slated for Monday next when a glorious bill of vaudeville and picture plays will mark the resumption of business at the popular playhouse after several weeks of summer Interruption For more than 30 years the Bijou has been the favorite playhouse of thousands of New Haven theatergoers and during the time it has been closed there have been hundreds of inquiries as to when 1t was to reopen.
 For the first bill of the fall and win ter season Manager Menges, formerly of the Hyperion has announced as the top liner Chester Pollards brilliant scenic novelty ''The Havana Gir1," a breezy musical comedy with four great princi- pals William Wayne Harry D.

Child Marvel at
 Palace Next Week

With a group of more than forty of the cleverest kiddie entertainers in the city appearing in one act at the Palace the first three days of the week will be seen as the prina donna, if one can call a wee bit of a girl eight years of age by that high sounding name, Pearl de- Orrell of West Haven, who has been rated as the cleverest child performer that has ever appeared in these parts.
 Although Little Pearl will have sev- eral singing numbers which she will cer- tainly, deliver in good style, it is in her dancing that she particularly excels and her toe dancing and ballet numbers have caused many critics to allude to Pearl as Toy Genee" and Miniature Paw Iowa" in the various cities where she has been appearing as a professional since she was five years of age.
 The little girl comes by her talent naturally as she comes of a family who have had long and successful experience in vaudeville and musical comedy. Vera de Orrell, who trained little Pearl and who now conducts a school of profes- sional dancing and department, was in vaudeville several seasons and her last stage appearances were with Will J. Ward and his Symphony Girls, with which act Miss Orrell toured from coast to coast. In the offering at the Palace many of the children are pupils of Miss Vera de Orrell but her ace, in way of speaking, is little Pearl and that this golden haired little beauty will be a big hit at the Palace goes without saying.

THE PALACE.

On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of the coming week, Mir. s. z. Poli will present to the patrons of his beautiful Palace, the New Haven Riddles Revue" a production in which two score of our own school children are due to provide not only delightful diversion, but also to hand out stunning surprise to local theater goers. The children in this revue, from the eight clever principals to the youngest and tiniest member of the wonderfu fully sweet voiced chorus of 30 children, appear and act to an advan- tage that will make every young, middle aged and old patron of the Palace thrill with a pardonable pride over the clever ness of New Haven Riddles. This Kid die Revue has been staged with all the care given a professional production. Under the guidance of the Poli produc- ing staff and the instruction of experi- enced dance, musical and song instructors the forty children have been in rehear- sal for several weeks. The Revue con- sists of solos, vocal, instrumental and dance numbers by its young but prohci- ent principals, these being supported by a juvenile chorus whose voices when heard in the big ensemble numbers will form one of the finest vocal treats that 1t has been the good fortune or local theater goers to hear.
 Novelty has its place. several ideas being staged that would be worthy of a

CAPMAKERS AND MATTERS PLAN FOR
 AMALCAMATION
Convention in New York Also Takes Note of Strike in New
 HauAp

The United Cloth Hat and Cap Makers of North America are to take an active part in the settlement of the strike on here at the plant of Mortiner-Newman Co. on Meadow Street, following action by the 3Oth annual convention of the or ganization in New York, which has just concluded. On instructions of the con- vention, General Organizer Rosenb1ot will come to New Haven and seek to adjust the trouble, which was due to the firm declaring the 'open shop and if unable to adjust 1t, to lead the fight to a successful finish.
 The convention was held in Headgear Workers Lynceum and the New Haven local was represented by A. Gertler, sec retary of the local union. Resolution for the establishment of union cooperative hat and cap shops all over the country and denouncing the so-called 'co-opera- tive" shops now in existence under the guise of workers shops, but really ''open shop" crowds, were adopted and will be put into effect under direction of the general executive board.
 Other resolutions calling for the re- lease of political prisoners and protest ing against militarism in America were sent to President Harding. Plans to fight the blacklist of union workmen now maintained by many employers op- posed to unions, were also drafted and adopted, while resolutions for the exten- sion and advertisement of the union label were also carried.
 The convention also took firm steps for insurance to protect the unemployed members and as starter levied $2OO assessment to start the fund and placed an assessment of SIS on every worker employed to assist those out of work un- til conditions become normal. Protests against the continued unfair use of in- functions, resolutions for the freedom of Ireland, another for a 4O-hour week when the favorable time arrives and also for two weeks vacation when possible and to provide for shop delegate where there are more than l6 in one local, were also adopted. The convention voted to join in the effort to amalgamate all the needle workers and left it to the general board to carry out.
 The question of jurisdiction over mil linery workers was also discussed and it was voted that 1t would be against the best interest of both to remove them from the Hat Makers jurisdiction. The differences between the Cloth Hat mak- CTS and the United Hatters were amicably adjusted both sides agreeing with the A. F. of L. decision at Montreal. The decision provides for amalgamation of both bodies.

Kelly-Keating Faction (Continued from First Page.)

Keating faction nominee for the office, is also raising a technicality that the registration was not properly made because an advertisement was not stuck on the town sign post as he contends is necessary Tn addition to advertising in the newspapers. lie must have gotten this information from Keating, who, during all the time he was registrar never put such a notice on the sign post, no more than did his republican colleague. Whether he knew it was necessary or not doesn't appear but it's strange that it now crops up to confOund the present registrar. MT. Cahill refuses to call a second registration period as Kelly insists and this adds to the merry party.
 The protest against the men in the public works department was made by Deputy Sheriff Peter J. McNerney, who is supporting the Keating fac ton this year, although two years ago he was against it. In fact the main supporters of Heating at the county organization crowd, made up principally of Sheriff Reilly's depu ties and their activity gives color to the belief that the whole scrap IS one of the county organization to control the city affairs next year without g1V- ing hang whether the party locally is successful at the polls this year or not.
 The men complained of, one Joseph Shaw, a carpenter employed doing the necessary add jobs about the city buildings, promptly resigned as a de putty registrar in the new Fourteenth ward. Another, Michael Mooney, is the father of nine children and drives . city team when not working with pick or shovel on the streets. He averages about $16 a week on this job and was glad of the chance for extra money as registrar. Yet Keat ing and his crowd wanted him kicked out of one job or the other because the charter says no man shall hold two salaried places under the city government A third, nomed Esposi to, also got small job at deputy registrar in one of the down town wards. He, too, has a big family and works on the city streets. He gave /up the registrars job when the pro test was made. There were several others and Director Lane refused to fire them, but i'll order that no em partment, even though MT. Lane knew nothing of the two jobs, they quit either one or the other That they will be heard from in no uncer- tain terms on primary day, goes with out saying.
 On the whole the fight is becoming one of the dirtiest ever waged here. keating in a statement to the press during the week, answered an editor ial in the New Haven Union, in which he attacked Postmaster Troup calling him an ingrate and a lot of other

 where a program of speaking and track and field events has been arranged. Frank Burch, in a letter to President Gompers, says: Expectations are for one of the largest Labor Day demonstra- tions this good old city. has ever seen. Everybody is going to bat with a vim and vigor that assures success and that no. doubt will be a great surprise to our opponents who have delighted in saying that they have us on the run. They have failed in their purpose and am glad to predict that the movement i'll this city will emerge from the onslaught stronger and better one."
 Chicago has arranged for a three-day celebration, the first of its kind under taken by the Chicago Federation of La bor. The work of arranging for this great demonstration IS in charge of a committee originally composed of 25, but subsequently, increased to include one member from any local union desiring to participate The celebration will be held at White Sox Baseball Park and Bricklayers' Soccer Field, which adjoin each other. The athletic events have been recognized as official by the Anna teur Athletic Union, the Chicago Fed eration of Labor having formed the Chi cagO Federation Ot Labor Athletic Club in order to secure official approval. The Chicago Federation of Labor announces that its speakers will be: William Jen- nings Bryan, Rabbi Judah Magnes, U. s. Senator Joseph Irwin France, Will liam z. Foster and Mrs Helen Mason Huck, daughter of the late Congressman Mason. Senator Robert M. LaFollette was invited, but declined on account Of the legislative situation in Washington.
 St. Louis, Mo-, has completed arrange nents for parade and a picnic celebra- ton. The picnic will be held at Triangle Park which is owned by Bakery Work CTS Union No. 4. David Kreyling, Sec retary of the St. Louis Trades and La bor Union reports that arrangements are practically complete and that beyond doubt the entire program will be a complete success.
 Waterloo, Iowa, is planning for an un- usually large and imposing Labor Day demonstration, according to a report made by Charles C. MacKay, Secretary Treasurer of the Waterloo Central La Dor Union The Waterloo movement plans to make a wide distribution ot literature one of the important features of it's Labor Day observance.

tion of Labor, through its executive board has already canvaSsed its afhlia- ted unions, while the Massachusetts Federation has emphatically denounced the open shop plan and called upon all its affiliated members to fight it to the limit, as the following communication from Joseph N. Weber, head of the American Federation of Musicians to the local Musicians union will show. MT. Weber writes:
 New York, Aug. IS, 1921. Secretary, Local No. 234, New Haven, Conn.
 Dear Sir and Brother:
 Supplenr1lting my communication ot recent date wherein advised you that the burlesque wheels had decided upon open shop, l beg to inform you that all local unions affected by this policy have brought the matter to the attention of organized labor i'll their districts As an illustration, 1 herewith call your at tention to the following resolution pass ed by the State Federation of Labor of Massachusetts, to wit:
 WHEREAS, the Burlesque Theatres in both the American and Columbia wheels covering the principal cities of the United States have decided to open the season under the So-called open shop plan, and
 WHEREAS, this policy is a direct blow at the very foundation of Organized Labor, which, if it proves successful, will be an entering wedge that will not only be followed by all the theatres, but will also be a continual advertisement and an encouragement to the employers in other trades to do likewise, and
 WHEREAS, this open shop plan as proposed by the managers of the Burles- que Houses will throw out of employ ment thousands of Union Musicians Moving Picture Operators, Stage Hands, Bill Posters, Teamsters, Engineers, etc, therefore, be it
 RESOLVED, that the State Fedora tion and Central Labor bodies be re- quested to immediately notify all affiliated unions of the unfair conditions existing in the burlesque theatres that their mem- bers may in every way resist and defeat this national organized movement which may be a death blow aimed at Organized Labor.
 If your local has not already called the attention of its Central Labor union to the open shop declaration by the bur- league wheels, I suggest that it i1nmedi- ately become active i'll such directions and in connection herewith, if possible, bring State Federation of Labor of your State.
 Fraternally yours,
 JOS. N. WEBER.

These instructions are displeasing to

These instructions are displeasing to number of Parsons friends. This de- cislon gave the anti-union propagandists an opportunity to start something against the union and all unions, and inn mediately the daily press was filled with stories that the Union would withdraw from the International Brotherhood and join the Amalgamated of New York or go 1t alone. Such statements are bunk pure and simple, and intended solely to put the union Ill a hole and give the open shoppers a chance to start such reported diSsension to spread their wares.
 The carpenters union Is one of the strongest i'll the state and while at meet ingS majority of those present stood back of Parsons election, they could not, even If such a thing was even conte1n- plated as 1t Is not vote the union out of the Brotherhood. The reported talk of secession from the international is made out of whole cloth and not based on facts or any authorative statements. Natural dissatis faction by some of Par sons friends against the order of the internationational probably gave rise to the opportunity to try to discredit the union before the public and the Open Shoppers were quick to take advantage ot it.
 When Gerety's appeal was made Spec ial Agent Cosgrove was sent here from Indianapolis ard after looking into the matter he decided that it was a subject for the international executive council to decide and therefore advised that the en- tire matter be left as it was before the election, with Gerety as business agent, until the council meets. Parsons friends refuse to agree to such arrangement and insist that he continue as business agent from July 1. Meantime Gerety is hold ing onto the automobile but Parsons drawing the pay from the local union and things will probably, continue that way until the executive council settles 1t in October

BLAME LAwLEss OFFICIALS.

New York, Aug. 26.-The New York World makes this comment on the civil war in West Virginia:
 AS a matter of fact the state gov ernment is always willing to intervene when violence is threatened against the operators, but it has never tried its hand at enforcing the law where the rights of the miners are in question. If West Vir- ginia had a government worth mention ing, there would be less war and less excuse for war within its boundaries. :"
