STRIKE IN TEXTILE
TRADE SETTLES into
TEST OF ENDURANCE
(By Associated Press)

BOSTON, July 31-The textile
strike at Lawrence, in its nineteenth
week today, appears to have settled
into a grim test of endurance. Mill
owners and operatives alike have an
nounced that they would maintain
their ground to the bitter end" and
neither side appears to show signs of
weakening.
The numbers of workers idle in
Lawrence because of the strike and
the closing of the Arlington Mills is
estimated at $4,000.
Unlike their fellows in Rhode Island
and New Hampshire where the strikes
preceded that in Lawrence by several
weeks, the Lawrence mill workers
have not been generally organized but
have remained a unit on the issue Of
resistance to wage cuts. These varied
from u to 20 percent, the latter cut
being most common.
The long period CT idleness is hav-
ing its effect on business. Stores are
feeling the pinch and relief organiza-
lions find calls for assistance increas
ing. Public sentiment appears to be
strongly with the strikers. The city
council has gone on record on several
occasions as favoring their cause.
In Lowell, where strikes were called
against five large mills which cut
wages, the mill owners say they have
all the help necessary to fill their or
ders.

HIDDEN WAR WEALTH
BURIED BY BAKER

RACINE, Wis, July 31.-Lure of
hidden treasure surrounds an OLD
building on one of the principal
streets here
A miser's hoard of gold is buried
there, according to pioneers.
The mystery, more than half cen,
fury old, may be solved when the
Knights of Columbus raze the old
structure preparatory to begin con.

The old structure was built prior Il
the civil war by German baker. His
name has been forgotten by Mrs
Tiege. The baker was so miserly, the
pioneers say, that his wife's face bore
unmistakable signs of hunger. The
wife was gaunt, silent woman.
The baker prospered; fortune smil
ed upon him and it was said through
his savings he had amassed larg'
. fortune. Then the Civil war brokj

PICKETT DECLARES
FRIENDS CONFERENCE
BEST IN MANY YEARS

From the point of view of The at
tendance of young people of high
school age, the Young Friends general
conference was the most satisfactory
this year that it ever has been" said
Clarence Pickett, executive secretary
of the Young Friends board, Monday
in summarizing the work of the 10
days meeting
In his statement Mr.. Pickett con
tinued, THE average age of those at
tending the conference was never so
young This is hopeful, because it
means that the responsibility for the
work of the church, when it falls on
the shoulders of this younger genera
ton, will find them better prepared,
both in mind and in spirit.
ALSO, the gradual development
from the opening of the conference,
when $50 young people met together
from various parts of the continent,
most of whom had never seen each
other before, to Sunday ut the close
of the conference, were like those of
big family. This perhaps was most
marked in the gradual deepening spir-
it of the vesper meeting for worship
and the Sunday morning meetings.
Calls Fourth Volunteers.
THE true presentation OF the work
which the church is doing and in par
ticular the home service work of the
American Friends service committee
called forth a number of volunteers
who are prepared to enter fields of
service as the way may open up in an
effort to enterpret the spirit of good
will so prevalent at the conference.
Mr.. Pickett stated that before the
| conference was over the registration
reached the total of 315 young people
actually in attendance. This number
| is not so large as in previous years
! but the number of younger people was
/ larger.
The business of the conference was
finished Sunday when officers were
elected and the committee TO look aft
er the affairs of the 1928 conference
was appointed.
The message to all young Friends
D.. everywhere was read Sunday. The
massage said in part: 1T is our earn

"Our conditions had in them ele
ments of difference according to gu
several past experiences but a vision
of a fundamental purpose seems to u!
to have been no less evident. In ST
far as we can interpret it, this vision
was of reaching a spiritual plane

Clothing Dealer "Stings"
Emperor With Outfits


PARIS, July 31.-Although the En-
peror Of AMMAN is the envy Of Paris
with his gorgeous robes of embroid-
cred golden yellow and blue, he wants
TO wear regular pants and coats and
vests like ordinary human beings.
As soon as he had moment to spare
from the round of official receptions
and dinners the emperor sent orders to
n Paris tailor for an outfit of European
style clothes And thereto hangs a
tale
1t has leaked out that the emperor
had bought several complete outfits
before embarking on his first trip TO
Europe Upon arrival at Marseilles il
was discovered that some unscrupulous
hand-me-down clothing dealer had
stuck the emperor with lot of pre-
war styles and a derby hat of the
vintage of 1890. 1t would never do to
have the emperor appear looking like
a vaudeville "hick." So the outfits
were hidden away and new set OF
1922 model ordered.
