IN COAL STRIKE
Head Soft Coal Union Miners Says New Wage
Scale Must Be Set Up - Nothing Comes Of
Conference with President and Secretary Of
Labor-Declares Shortage Of Coal Near with
Roads Unable to Move It If Strike Continues

Washington, June 26-(By A. P.)-
Administration efforts to bring about
a settlement of the bituminous coal
strike met preliminary check today
After conferences with President
Harding and Secretary Of Labor
Davis, John l.. Lewis, president Of the
United Mine Workers of America an
nounced that the union policy still
was unaltered and unyielding in its
insistence that a new wage scale must
be set up for the strike ridden mimi g
districts by national or semin- nation
al conferences with operators.
The meeting betwene Mr.. Harding,
Secretary Davis and Mr.. Lewis which
took place around the White House
luncheon table was the last Of a
series of conferences into which Sec
rotary of Labor Davis took Mr. Lew
is after he arrived from Cincinnati
Sunday.
Officially no statment was forth
coming though Secretary Hoover was
also called to the White House for a
word with the president about the
situation Immediately after Mr. Lew =
is left.
I'VE talked over the general prob
lens of the bitunlinous industry and
the strike" Mr.. Lewis declared on
leaving the White House, Its over
development and intermittency, and
projects for its sterilization.
With relation to the present strike
we considered the matter Of a joint
conference of operators and miners,
especially the merits of proposals to
hold district join conferences be-
tween operators and miners for wage
settlements, as compared with a joint
conference in the central competitive
field, or a national conference of all
fields, through representatives. No
definite plans affecting the strike was
decided upon.
The country will be facing a seri-
Gus shortage of coal within a few
weeks and if the strike continues the
railroads will be unable to transport
enough to take care of industries and
domestic consumers"

hearing petitoned for by the strik-
ers, asking the dissolution of modi-
fication of the injunction recently
granted by the Superior court, at the
request of the Amoskeag Manufac-
turing Company, will be delayed a
week, owing to the presence on the
docket this week of the Stark will
case.
Today, attorneys for the Nashua
strikers filed a plea in abatement
demurrer and answers to the charges
made by the Nashua Manufacturing
Company and Jackson mills. A
complete denial of all allegations

merce was unable to announce today
the personnel Of the committee which
will wait upon Treasurer F. c. Dunn
ain of the Amoskeag Company. 1t

The strikers appear to be much
exercised over a police warning to
those who live on the West side, to
remain in their houses and keep off
their lawns when the operatives now
working are going and returning from
work.
The strikers press committee an
nounced that another outdoor mass
meeting will be held on one of the

said trials and tribulatlons are not taken seriously enough to interfere with some excellent fun at the ex- pense of several fcouples who are used as specific examples. All will un- doubtedly agree. however. upon see- ing the picture, that the subject has been well and convincingly handled. In "Is Marriage a Failure?" the audi ence Is first won to laugh at the seri- ous question of marriage, and then, presto! 1t Is solved-like pulling a tooth with laughing gas.
 The screen has had nothing just ex- actly like this clever comedy drama at the Strand, for 1t is unique both in story and treatment. About six couples in an average American town are taken up at a point in their lives when they are all and each dressing for the silver wedding anniversary of one of their number. Into six snug looking homes (from the outside), the audience is allowed 10 snoop into the separate private affairs of all of the couples. Then all off to the big affair with the putting up of appearances that would convince the hardest skep- tic of the paradises that were theirs until circumstances give all of the men that chance that they most be- lieve they want-the chance to live the gay. free life again-and they take it. but, well that is the cieverest turn in the play. and 1t will not be revealed here. It will be said, though, that every married couple or any who ever intend to be married should not fail to see it.

LYRIC BILL RICH
 IN ENTERTAINMENT
By Estelle Beathea ArarIowe

Martelle, who heads the Lyric bill for the first half of the week with his female impersonation skit Per sonality' is indeed an artist and a unique one. Advance notices said that he was as good, or nearly as good as the immortal Eitinge.
 Martelle, impersonating a female role, is by far the most "womanly" artist who has appeared hero recently and his artistry met the approval of the audience yesterday.
 Jimmie Carlisle and Isabelle Lamar. in their skit The Interview" have a turn that gives them ample oppor- tunity to bring into play their en- tertainment talents. and they rise to every one in perfect form. Jimmie, who Is better known to his associ- ates as "Beanstalk" Is best described by his partners phrase, "A Bloated Shoestrong," and his partner herself is striking looking miss, who is known to vaudeville fans as the girl with the s5,000 arm.
 It has been quite the thing for song writers to tour the vaudeville stage, but few indeed have the real ly legitimate right to big time that Bob Murphy has. His voice is good. his humor clean out and clever.
 Burke and Betty. who open the bill with a potpourri of comic songs, clever batter and Instrumental num- bers held the Monday night audience for two encores, and the closing act. "The Awakening of Toys" disclosed one of the most spectacular balancing stunts that has been seen this season. There are usual attractions of the screen. Pathe News and an Aesop's Fable.

PENROD. BOOTH TARKINGToN'S STORY AT THE TRIANON

Those were great days that Booth Tarkington wrote about in Pen rod" his wonderful story of boyhood with it's big adventures and mis- chievous pranks. They have been brought to the screen by Marshal Neilan in a picture. 'Penrod," which Is a production at the Trianon this week that Is bound to thrill all boys and girls and even to chase a few thrills up and down the spines of grown-ups whether they will or not. Neilan has offered this great boy story just as 1t was written, and somehow. he has managed to bring the many adventures of the gang of boys who lived in excitement and ad- venture, to the screen just as Tar kington told 1t.
 In .Penrod" there are all of the famous scenes, the hidden cave of the boys who went in a gang and lived in disrepute with citizens and police; the circus; the day at the dancing class and the wonderfully funny theatricals that the boys gave they are all there. The cave is a wonderful piece of work, being an old cellar with only one secret en- trance to it's depths, where the boys might find refuge from enemies and the police-and chiefly the police. Then there is. finally. the capture of the two bandits and the new popular ity of the boys. who are regarded from that day thenceforth as fine cit izens of the community, and even to have opinions of importance.
 All of the boys and girls in the cast do fine work, and particularly "Freckles" Barry, who was chosen by Neilan and the author as being really like the boy character. A num- Der of adult actors enact roles in- cluding pretty Marjorie Daw.
