ENGLISH VOTER CH0SEBEIWEEN
 FOUR PARTIES

LONDON, Nov. 18.-Two new fac tors entered into the Parliamentary election of this past week. Bew1l- dered, Great Britain faced situation never before experienced.
 For centuries, there have been two traditional parties in Britain-Con- servatives and Liberals (Progres- sives). In slow, good tempered kind of antagonism, they enjoyed practical ly alternate terms of office, and legls- lation was slow and sure.
 Then came the Labor Party, which introduced an atmosphere of Social ism and Radicalism, but with always insufficient numbers to alter serious ly the ordered course of events.
 Now, two new unknown factors enter into an election. One IS the enormous influx of new electors-both men and women-on account of recent legislation, and the fact that there will be four distinct parties instead of two and "bit."
 Liberals have been split into sec tions for some time. Conservatives sometimes known as Tories and some times as Unionists-have just now split their ranks.
 As a result of these schisms, one section of Conservatives determined to remain true to the old idea of: "Let things remain as they are" Another section went over to Lloyd George, and joined forces with his followers" The remaining Liberals, under the leadership of MT. Asquith, remained true to the slogan of Peace, Re- trenchment and Reform and fought on those principles.
 The Labor Party, recently rein forced by 'Intellectuals," like H. G. Wells, Dr. Temple (Bishop of Man chester), Lord Haldane and Sidney Webb, held for their own established planks-except that any tendencies of EXtremlSIS COWdTuS bOlSHeNlSHl "clo severely drowned upon.
 Elections in Britain are far less sweeping than in the United States. The party gaining power has no power of appointment to offices in general It only has appointment of heads of departments. All other of- fees under the state are permanent, and their holders are members of a permanent Civil Service.
 The Prime Minister may make one of his followers a Governor of Brit ish Colony. But he has no power to disturb the tenure of village post master.

Butte Miners Spurn /. ". W.;; Organize
 Union 71heir OlUn

| BUTTE, Mont, Nov IS. After eight years without an organization the 120OO miners in the Butte district are to have a union through which they will deal with the companies This is the result of deliberations that have been going on for several weeks between representatives of the mining companies and the men at the mines Without any organization the men had been getting $425 day. Work, CTS of World attempted to start walk. out for SC a day and six-hour day. It was an absolute fizzle. When the little breeze created by this effort quieted down the companies voluntar- fly raised the pay of the men fifty cents a day.
 After that the men working in the mines went about organizing union of their own, totally ignoring the radi- calls who had tried to start a strike.
 Several conferences of the mine managers and committees from the men were held. At one of them the managers submitted the draft of what they considered would be a good con stitution for such an organization. This the men turned down and pre- pared one of their own, which has proved acceptable to the managers.
 Now the miners are organized into what is officially known as the Butte Mine Workers Independent Union, the independent" part of the title mean ing that it's activities will be con fined to the Butte District and that there will be no utilization with the miners and smeltermen's organization which succeeded the old Western Fed eration of Miners.
 Reasons for not wishing any con nection with the international miners and smeltermen's organization will be found in the virtual extinction of the old Butte Miners Union, probably the largest and most powerful labor or ganization in any one locality in the world in it's time. It was dissatisfac- tion with the management of that body over the heavy assessments it was levying on the members of affiliated bodies that gave the radical element

CONVICT HEIR T0F0RTUNE OF
 MANY MILLION

WINDSOR, Vt., Nov. 1S.-Richard Demange, convict, residing in cell MO- 12S, at the Vermont State Prison, is an heir to fortune of $12,00O,000, it was learned recently.
 The gray-faced, callous-handed con- vict, who is wealthy enough to buy the iail and turn it into a magnificent mansion, will probably be released early next spring, providing he be- hayes himself and has good luck. He is serving a sentence of from two to three years.
 F Richard Demange has been la borer all his life, but recently learned that he is one of the three equal heirs of the deceased Nicholas Demange, whose fortune, now amounting to $12,- 900 900, is deposited in the Bank of France, at Paris. He is anxiously counting the days when he can leave the prison and assist his relatives in the establishing of his identity and the identity of the long dead Nicholas.
 The only weak link in the evidence supporting the Demange claims Of re- lationship is the absence of birth rec ords proving the relationship of the living Demanges to their grandfather, Nicholas Demange. These papers were mislaid years ago.

Beyond naming two Ministers to sit as observers, the United States, on the other hand, has declined to participate officially in the con- ference. The Washington Govern ment has, however, outlined the subjects which particularly con- cerned it. Among other things, the United States is on record as fay- bring unqualifiedly the freedom of the Dardanelles; the Sea of Mar mora and the Bosporous, as we'll as the protection of racial and relig- ious minorities. It also is recog- nized, according to the American Secretary of State, that the United States has certain very definite rights under the so-ca1led Capitula- tory Treaties, pertaining to extra territorial concessions granted for eigners; and again that the Wash ington Government is not disposed to see Americans discriminated
 
 against in favor of the nationals of other nations. Another side-light on the conference, and one which has played no small part in the prelim- mary interest, is the attitude of the United States as regards the Allied tendency to exclude Russia from participation in the general deliber- ations. It is understood here that the American Government is strong ly inclined toward the belief that nc permanent solution of the Near East problem can be hoped for un- less steps are taken to conserve and protect the legitimate interests of Russia in any settlement that may he attempted.

Peace Parley On Near EuSt Wur
 Called. T0n1orrow

l LAUSANNE, Nov. 18.-The com blicated Near East situation, which
 cdkstitutes perhaps the sorest spot
 now femaihing in European politi
 cal affafrs promises to have thor. ough airing in the Near East Peace
 Conference, beginning here tomor-
 row, and which may continue for
 several weeks.
 Primarily, the plenipotentiaries will seek to end the war in the Near East between the Greeks and the Turks, which has ben sizzling, and at times assuming more menacing proportions, ever since the Sevres Treaty of 1920 informed the Turk that his presence was no longer de- sired in Europe. Actual military operations, in fact, were halted only month ago, when the Turkish forces under Mustapha Kemal Pasha, commander-in-chief of the Nation alist Army, consented to an armis- tice following the complete defeat of the Greeks.
 The attitude of both Russia and the United States toward the con- ference has presented many aspects, not the least of which is the Russian contention that she must take leading part in any negotiations cen ering around the Straits, in which she has tremendous commercial in- terest. "We are not making threats and are not rattling the swords" Foreign Minister Tchitcherin said recently, "but we do insist upon proper consideration in all questions relating to the Near East, and par ticularly the commercial freedom of the Straits"

1 in the local union the incentive to de stroy it, which was done in 1914.
 It was on June 13 of that year that the Butte Miners Union started to celebrate it's anniversary, as it had been doing for years, by big parade and a general holiday. The radicals broke up the parade before it got well started and proceeded to wreck the union hall, throwing everything out on the street, including the safe, which was carted out of town, broken into and footed.
 After the excitement had quieted down repairs were made to the hall, and things were going along more or less smoothly until the night of Oc. tober 23, when Charles H. Mover, president of the then Western Feder- ation of Miners, came to Butte to straighten matters out. It was the sig nal for another outbreak.
 Mover and those friendly to him were virtually barricaded in the min ers' union hall The front of the build ing was destroyed by explosions of dynamite. Mover and those with him escaped by the rear windows. In the rioting one man was killed and sev- eral wounded.
 That was the end of the old miners union. The men who brought about it formed another union, and they prac- tically ran the town and the district for more than two months. The law was defied and the law officers help less. Finally the governor sent in the National Guard and the district had peace. But while the miners had formerly worked under the protection of their big union they now worked without any organization.
 So for eight years the curios spec tacle has been presented of the big gest mining camp in the world work ing with men unorganized in its un- derground and surface labor, while every other line of industry about the mining properties was running under agreements with labor organisations.
 With the new independent miners union, every class of labor in the dis trict will once more be organised

BILLIARD MATCH DREW INTEREST
 SPORT WORLD

NEW YORK, Nov. 1S.-Six of the finest billiardists that ever lived lined up to play at the Hotel Penn- sylvania this week for the worlds championship at 1872 balkline bill lizards.
 They are Jake Schaefer, the greatest champion the game has known; Willie Hoppe, champion for sixteen years and, in point of skill, hardly, pace, if that, behind Schaefer; Welker Cochran, Mo- in the American ranking; Edouard Horemans, champion of Europe; Roger Cont, of France, and Eric Hagenlacher of Germany.
 Last years tourney in Chicago was productive of more sensational ism than any similar event since Hoppe won the title while still in his teens. It saw Schaefer break the Hoppe monopoly for the first time, and then only after a 1,5O0- point play-off, in which Hoppe mis- cued when within 35 points of re- taining the championship.
 In victory, Schaefer proved him. self the greatest champion of all time; yet were it not for the fact that he disposed of Hoppe twice during the tourney that honor might very we'll be placed in doubt.
 However, both of the men in ques- tion, to say nothing of Cochran and Horemans, are 20 per cent beyond the ability of the old-time stars. Twenty years ago Schaefer the el- der was called the Wizard because he had beaten such men as Cure and Frank Ives, but he would be forced to improve his game considerably to stand . chance now.
 The big thrill of this weeks event hinged on the possibility of Hopes comeback.
