INJUNCTION AGAINST
MINE DUES SUSPENDED
Employees of 90 West Virginia
Mines Affected by Ruling on
"Check-Oh" System.

Judge Waddill of the United States
circuit court Of appeals, sitting at
Alexandria, Va. yesterday, suspended
a temporary injunction issued by
Federal Judge McClintic at Charles
ton, W. Va, which forbids collection
of miners union dues by the United
Mine Workers in West Virginia
through the check off" system.
An announcement by the United
Mine Workers declared that Judge
Waddills suspension order would
govern the situation until a final
hearing is given the unions appeal
from Judge McClintic's injunction be-
fore the full bench OF the appellate
court at Richmond, Va. March 81:
The CHECK off, system entails the
payment of miners union dues to the
union officials by the employer, who
retains the sums SO paid over out of
the pay checks of the men. In West
Virginia twenty-three coal companies
operating with non-union miners at
tackled the system as illegal. and as
being a method Of furthering con-
spiracy on the part of operators en-
ploying union miners and the union
TO injure the non-union mining in
dustry. The union defended il as a
voluntary assignment by the miners
Of wages, and as legaliZed by pre-
YiouS federal court action.

A GREAT portrait painter. James j.
Shannon. has lately died in Lon
don. Mr.. Shannon was born and grew
up in Auburn, n. Y, but his pro-
ductive years were spent in England
| and, becoming a British citizen dur
ing the war, he was knighted by the
king year ago and became "Sir
James"
1t was in 1873 that he went to Eng
land to study, entering the South
kensington School. He was eXtraor-
dinarily talented and in school took a
gold medal for figure painting. His
first important portrait was shown
at the Royal Academy in 1881. In
1897 he was elected an associate and
in 1903 full member of the Royal
Academy. For several years he was
president of the British Society of
Portrait Painters. For years Shan

and in the estimate of the British
public. His Girl with Silver Ship

modern times. His Girl in Brown"

same model. He painted numerous
portraits of distinguished members
of the British nobility
Some years ago an English lady
asked Mrs Kinds If there were any
American portrait painters today of
note. and her prompt reply was: Yes.
two of the greatest in England, Sar-
gent and Shannon, are Americans"
Shannons style was reticent and
finished, very suave, very elegant and
sincere. No matter of what country
he was citizen. he belonged to the
world at large. and that he came orig
inally from America is just occasion
for pride. The Corcoran Gallery is to
be congratulated upon the possession
of so admirable an example of his
work.

those who are solicitous for the
reputation of American art abroad to
know that arrangements have been
made to show in Paris this summer.

interesting, historic old house,

the Washington Arts Club. over the
Dantel hangs an exceedingly clever
copy of a portrait of 4 young woman,
by Sully. who was. it will be remember
ed. a pupil OF Benjamin West. and who,
therefore. came directly under the in
nuence of the English school of portrait
painting at it's best. There is a close
kinship between Sullys works and those
Of Romey and Hoppner. though the
Americans are in most instances infe-
rior. In this particular portrait. which
shows a young woman out of doors and
is painted in a distinctly breezy style,
there is a reminiscent suggestion not
only of the British contemporaries, but
also OF one of Sully's American fore
runners. Copley, whose portrait of Mrs.
Rogers. in the Museum of Fine Arts.
Boston, is much in the same spirit.
Sully borrowed the money to go
abroad from a half dozen wealthy
Americans. promising to make copies
, for them of portraits by the great mas
tcrs in British ownership. but when he
got TO London he found that these
paintings were chiefly in private collec-
tons and inaccessible. HIS situation
became quite desperate, and il he had
not hunted out and told his troubles to
Charles King. who was studying with
West at the time. and who later it will
be remembered, settled in Washington
and painted numerous portraits here. It
is hard to conjecture what would nave
become of him. King took him to West.

to copy works in his own collection and
secured from his guarantors favorab bic

Sully remained jus; nine months in

spare moments between times: but in
1887 he revisited the great metropolis
and was privileged to paint a portrait
Of Queen Victoria. which hangs toda V

replica is included in the Wallace col
lection. Hertford House. and. what is
more, holds its own among the master
pices of that great aSscmhlage.

the subject and of the painter of

echo OF the old debate On this same
question and does he not. inadvertent-

To ask these questions is to answer
them in the affirmative. The doctrine

present Chief Executive of the nation
But what else could our critical New

not the brilliant Calvin Coolidge of

soon after he has entered the same

they have it. 1t sounds rather strange
to talk about centralized power demo
