THE PALACE.

Many names we'll known and prom inent among the high classifcations of Supreme Vaudeville are found on the Palace bill for the first three days of the week. The coming bill is com posed of upper class talent but this has been so selected and arranged as to form a program of wide variety and perfect balance.
 Two of vaudeville's best known fe- male fun makers form one of the shows prominent attractions. These are Annie Kent and Minnie Allen who appear in skit written by Miss Kent entitled Why Cry?" The bright little vehicle Is a combination of song ana story and 1t receives a perfect pre- sentation in the hands of the Misses Allen and Kent. These clever women have won their stage spurs both in vaudeville and the legitimate and in each realm of entertainment they are considered leading comediennes
 During the stirring days of the war one of the big attractions used by the Navy to stimulate en1istments was Sailor Jim White, the Navy's famous strong man. Prior to the war Sailor White was physical instructor at An napolis for several years. The feats of this Hercules are wonderful to behold and startling to see. Tearing a pack of cards i'll halves and quarters with his hands, holding over two thousand pounds on his chest, swinging three

'CAPMAKERS WIN
 NEW YORK STRIKE
Union Brings Stubborn Manufacturers
 to Terms in Short Order.

New York, July 19.-The carrying out of the fundamental reforms map ped out by the union has now been assured The strike has been won. stubborn Wholesale Cap Manufactur- CTS Association had been convinced not merely that the cap makers are determined to insist on their demands under all circumstances, but also that the reforms demanded by them are essential for the progress of the trade as who1e,-and this association has
 finally come across. The Cloth Hat and Cap Manufacturers Association, which has been in contractual relations with the union for several years and which has had an opportunity as an organized body to know more about the needs of the industry, came to an amicable agreement with the union be- fore the strike in the other shops was declared. All substantial independent manufacturers also settled, conceding the union demands. Thus practically the entire New York market is now working under the new agreement.
 The strike in the shops of the Wholesale Cap Manufacturers Asso- citation and in all the unsettled inde- pendent shops was declared by the de cision of a general mass meeting held on Monday, June 30, and all the un- settled shops went out on strike on Wednesday, July 2. The strike call of the union met with a unanimous re- sponse, and all the unsettled shops were entirely para1yzed. The strike was conducted with great energy and the organization and picketing com mittees deserve special credit for the excellent work done by them during the strike.

DECLARE OPPONENT
 OF POSTAL RAISE
 PREPARED VETO
Secretary to Postmaster General Man Behind Coolidge's
 Turndown

Washington, July 19.-The presiden- tia1 veto of the postal workers wage increase was prepared by Joseph Stew art executive secretary of hte post master general, according to the Union Postal Clerk, official magazine of the National Federation of Postof1ce Clerks.
 Postmaster General New opposed the wage increase, and on every oc- casion publicly expressed this oppo- sition.
 ''The insistence by the President that the postal service not incur any financial liabilities without core spending increase in revenues is new departure in policy-a departure in sharp conflict with the republican plat form expression and frequent pro nouncements by the postmaster gen eral," said Editor Flaherty. of the Union Postal Clerk.
 "The platform upon which Mir. Cool idge was elected stated that the postal SSINlCS SllOuIu DG OpGI dlSd LOT SGIVICG and not for profit. MT. New has often expressed the same thought. Yet the veto message contained the plain inn plication that there can be no pay adjustments because of the effect on postal profits.
 Tn his veto message President Cool idge, speaking of the generous postal wage standard, said:
 "'It was found that in all cases of employees of similar character the av- craze salaries paid were much lower than those paid in the postal service
 Where is htere an employment similar to postal employment, MT. President? If there was any outlet for the skilled, experienced postal workers-any place for them to now turn and dispose of their knowledge and experience-how many would be left under the benehcient administra- ton of your postmaster general? Very few, indeed

 | is credited with being a Klansman and 1 backed by others of the hidden face among the trolleymen. At any rate Ferriter began to feel the effects of his victory soon after.
 Then two weeks after the row Fer ! ritter, who was operating a one-man car, happened to bump into an auto that got into his way. It was his first accident in three years and was trivial. Nevertheless while during the noon day rush claim agent, name said to be Lucas, jumped aboard his car and demanded the particulars. Ferriter had enough to do watching his passengers and the traffic without answering the claim agent and told him so.
 The result Is said to be that Lucas, registered among the trolleymen as a close friend of Bancroft, reported the motorman, Ferriter, in as using sour ri1ous language to him, being insolent and entirely to blame for the accident On this report Ferriter was discharged, tne 01S1loI OIlCeIS OI tIlo COIlpdlly simply taking the agents report. In the report no mentian was made, 1t IS stated, that the agent got aboard the car at the noon rush hour to question the motorman instead of either re- heving him or waiting until he had opportunity to answer such questions as put. Nevertheless he reported him as insolent and his discharge followed.
 There's been complaint enough about the operation of one-man cars even in off hours and the union intends to take the matter up higher. Ferriter had clean record for carefu1ness and attention to duty and 1t is now openly charged that he is a victim of the Klan because of his argument with Bancroft and the company is going to be asked to settle 1t.

The campaign of the Bakers Union
 against the L. L. Gilbert company of New Haven, which declared a lockout
 on it's union workers on May 1, is hav- ing big effect, it being reported to the Trades Council Thursday night that already the sale of bread in New Ha- ven alone has been cut down 6,500 daily and the decrease being extended every day to such an extent that the firm is now considering overtures. In addition to the bakers success, rival firm, as large as the Gilbert, has made Overtures to the union to have it's men permitted to go to work earlier SO as to meet their increased demand for fair bread and the executive commit tee of the union has agreed that such request will be granted on August Is, if not sooner, the delay being neces- sary to make the proper changes in the working rules.
 The bakers also reported great sue Icess in the countrywide campaign against the Ward Bakery goods which Ialso went sour from a union stand point.

 lieve New Proposition Will Benefit
 Them-Drum Corps Receives Letter
 William Pagan, former postmaster CT at the Kensington office, this morning announced that he will be a candi- date for first selectman on the demo- cratic ticket. Although rumors had been floating about town for the past few weeks limiting that Mr. Pagan would be candidate he has re-
 nained silent until today. To date he is the only man to oppose George B. Carter, present selectman and also q candidate, either on the republican or democratic ticket.
 MT. Pagan told a representative of the Herald" this morning that many prominent residents of Berlin and Kensington, including a number of kaunch republicans, have approached him within the past month and urged him to run for the office. He was well liked while serving as postmas- ter. It was during his administration that the office was made modern in every respect and made one of the best of it's size in Connecticut.
 For the past four years MT. Carter has been first selectman. He is a resident of Berlin and voters in Ken sington believe that it is again time for a resident from their section of the town to fill the office. Although Serln has always been known as a stronghold for the republican party l. Is the concensus that Pagan will have a good chance to win if he se- cures the nomination at the caucus.
 It has been prophesied that there may be such turn in election here es there was in New Britain when Angelo M. Paonessa, democrat was elected mayor of what is considered ! republican city. At any rate the problem presented is an interesting sne and the voters, whe will finally make the decision, are awaiting the outcome.
