Floyd smith as Marto and L. E. Bryant as Sinfo were comedians of rare merit and were irresistably funny.
 Geneva Fftz rendered a soprano solo between acts and her wonderful voice delighted the music lovers. Another between-act number was the violin solos. "Souvenior Melody in F." and
 cradle Song" by Norman Love. whose technique and expression were appreciated by the critics.

The music department may well boast of the Normal orchestra whose rendition of difficult numbers was truly professional.

BY EDWARD w. PICKARD

n ME of our great StrikeS-that Of
- the bituminous miners-was set
tied last week, partially, temporarily,
and after a fashion The agreement
reached at Cleveland by the miners
officials and operators representing
perhaps 100000 tons annual pro-
duction means there will be enough
coal to get through the fall and win
ter, though conservation and ration
ing probably will be necessary. But
the old wage scales and working con-
ditionS are to continue in effect until
March 81, 1923, which means the high
prices for coal that have prevailed
for several years will be maintained
by the dealers, if they can do it, and
also that next April the disputes and
probably the strike will begin all over
again. To be sure, the agreement
provides for the creation of machinery
to avert further strikes and to bring
some order into the chaotic coal in
dustry but the public must not count
too much on this.
Both the miners and the operators
claim to have won a victory at
Cleveland, the former because their
wages and work conditions are un-
changed, and the latter because the
miners signed agreements with indi-
vidual operators and also because the
tribunals to be set up solve the issues
revolving around the question Of ar
bitration, which the miners oppose.
The agreements were with opera
tors of all the bituminous states ex-
cept Illinois and Indiana, but the pros
poets for resumption Of mining in
those two states also was excellent.
Already tine coal prOfiteers are get
ting in their work. Senator Borah
of Idaho called this to the attention
of the federal fuel committee and an
nounced his intention of seeking legis-
lation to check them. At the same
time Fuel Distributor Spencer asked
the railroads to refrain from competi-
tive bidding for coal, the result OF
which had been to force the price
above the limit set by Secretary Hoov-
er. 1t was stated in Washington that
President Harding would ask congress
to pass legislation giving the federal
fuel committee legal powers to con-
troll the distribution and regulate the
price of coal as safeguard against
hardship and profiteering. 1t is quite
evident that unless the government
does come to the rescue, the settle
ment of the coal strike will be an ex-
pensive thing for the consumer.
