FRANCO-BRITISH
 AGREEMENT NEAR
: Control Of German ATnamentS
 Issue Is Solved
By The Associated Press.

Paris, Feb, o7.-The French and British viewpoints on the question of an interaIlied control of German mili- tary ornaments are so closely in ac- cord that it is felt in official circles here that one of the main causes of the strain that has existed in the en- tente since 1922 will be removed shortly. This was brought out today al meeting Of the council of ambas- sadors which examined Premier Mac Donald's note on the subject Should the interallied military commission at Versailles, of which Marshal Foch is president. find that the measures pro- posed by the British premier are suf- tlcient to safeguard the security of France in accordance with the treaty. inc French will rally to Mir. Mac Donald's suggestions.
 The British proposal that the pres ent interallied military control com mission shall be withdrawn and re- placed by a committe of guarantees, was acquiesced in by France in 1922, but with the provision that certain essential conditions then elaborat cd should be fulfilled by Germany. The main condition which the French government is now placing upon the removal of the control commission is that a full and complete investigation of the whole German military situa- ton as it now exists be made, as inc commission has been practically at a standstill since the closing months of 1922.
 Providing this investigation shows that Germany has not been violating the military terms of the treaty of Versailles by accommodating arms and smmunitions the French will be ready to withdraw the military con- trol commission. It is explained that France desires to make the charges against Germany as light as possible and the control commission is a very expensive organization. The amount charged against Germany for its maintenance is a large one, while the proposed committee of guarantees would have Its expenses defrayed by the allies until such a time as the League of Nations is in position to enforce the execution of the clauses of the Versailles treaty pertaining to disarmament and when that time comes the entire problem will be turn ed over to the League.

Decent Labor Laws
 Used as Bogey Man

Chattanooga, Tenn, August 2-"You business is going to be still further bur dened with unnecessary and uncalled for 1egislation,", shrieks C. C. Gilbert, secretary of the Tennessee Manufac- turers' association, in calling for con- tributions of at least $1O from every firm to ''prevent the enactment of such unjust, unfair, and inimical legislation that is urged by labor.
 The program, that this spokesman for business objects to is as follows:
 Repeal of the law creating the state public utilities commission; enactment of a qualification law for minors; & hour day for women and minors; pro- lection of workers in the erection of buildings; improved workmen's com pensation law; free textbooks for pub lie schools; outlaw the use of health destroying paint spraying machines !; abolition of the convict contract svs- tenn; and abolition of child labor

POLITICS LOOMS AT
 LABOR CONVENTION

According to present indications politics may prove the storm center at the convention of the Connecticut Federation of Labor in Hartford on September 2 next Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, let it be known that it will not please him if any particular candi- date or party is endorsed. MT. Com pers wants to see the union labor vote split up between the various parties.
 The local unions that hold mem bership in the federation have just re- ceived notification that the election of delegates for the state convention is in order It Is believed that on account of the political situation there will be considerable rivalry for the honors. The Socialists, it is understood, will make a strong effort to send a large number of their men to the state con- vention in the hope of putting across an endorsement for the third party"
 There is hardly doubt that the political situation will take up consid- erab1e time at the convention inasmuch as the political party state conventions will follow within few days of the Labor meeting La Toilette followers might, if the railroad unions were affiliated with the State Federation be strong enough to secure an endorse ment there But the fact will still re- main that a Labor man or woman's vote for the third party nominees can not help but aid Coolidge and Dawes in Connecticut under our system of voting for members of the electoral college instead of for the nominees direct.

Local Lumber Trust
 Halts Home Building

Washington, Aug. PA lumber combine in St. Louis, Mo-, is responsi- ble for a housing shortage in that city, according to Jesse w. Barrett, attorney general of Missouri.
 MT. Barrett is urging the federal trade commission to outlaw the list ing bureau of the St. Louis Millmen' s Association. The bureau estimates the amount of woodwork required for construction work in that city, so that the Y members of the association have only to compete on price.
 Testifying in the proceedings, pr. Francis Walker, chief economist of the federal trade commission, said that competition has quality as well as quantity He explained that the way competition is carried on in business is as important as the freedom with which it might be conducted
 The St. Louis listing" bureau, ac- cording to Dr. Walker, would remove the incentive to skil1ful computation of the amount of wood required for par ticular jobs and would remove competi- ton between various mills as to which could fill the job with the lowest quan- tity of lumber.

his merry career in "The Burglars Union," the vehicle which he and his company are to present as Palace fea- ture. It's a rare combination of fun and song with just enough plot to help the comedy along at a rattling fast pace.
 William Newell and Elsa Most have ridden to many previous successes in various vaudeville vehicles but their present one, which is a comedy with music called The Last Dance" by Will lard Mack, IS probably the liveliest and brightest they have utilized for a joy ous touring trip through the land of vaudeville. Mr. Newell and Miss Most are young, attractive and clever, the lat ter asset accounting for their ability to sing, dance and exchange witty pat ter in the most effective and entertain ing manner.
 Jewell and Rita are girls but they don't brag about 1t, in fact they don male raiment and to all appearances are two lively, clever and very likeable boys. To all intents and purposes they get away with the little stage deception. In their singing they display we'll train ed voices and their dancing shows grace and technique Quite likely are called ''The Jovial Juveniles"

 Franschinelli Trio, those acrobats de luxe, will start things going and as the opening number of an exceptionally fine bill are sure to find favor through their cleverness and daring.
 Depicting that strange of high ten stoned business and overkeyed pleasure which marks the lives of so many of those to whom has come success in the, commercial and social worlds, Ali mony," the palace screen feature for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday gra- phically illustrates the error into which many are lead when blinded by un- expected prosperity. Out of all the shallowness and hysteria of these sur roundings rises the figure of woman who still sees in the marriage relation ship a sacred trust She refuses to abandon her faith in her husbands eventual regeneration and when he too, IS drawn into the vortex and becomes a votary at the shrine of petilous pleasure she never finches but redoubles her ef- forts to save him normally and hnan- cially. How she uses the usual courr of procedure in cases of separation and divorce to safeguard not only her own future but that of her husband as well, makes most expressing and effective screen drama The brilliant cast in "Alimony" includes Grace Darmond, Warner Baxter, Ruby Miller, Jackie Saunders, Vola Vale and other players of note.

UNIONISTS MOBBED:
 AIDED LEAD UNION

West Baden, Ind Aug. 2.-Ordered out of Flat River Mo-, by a mob, trade unionists told the story of this out rage to George Van Fleet, conciliator of the federal department of labor.
 A. F. of L. Organizer Flood, Edward Carbine, representing the Mine, Mill and Shelter Workers International Union, and two local members of or ganized workers, were victims of the mob's fury, when a newly formed un- ion of lead workers struck rather than continue employment where rocks fell from the roof of the mine.
 Complaint was first made to Gov ernor Hyde regarding conditions in the Flat River lead mines. The chief mine inspector visited the mines. The out the dangerous places but they were denied admittance to the prop erty and were discharged. The falling rock continued, and the miners sus- pended work.
 At the hearing held by Conciliator Van Fleet the unionists made afida- wits that an orderly parade of the strikers was stopped by mob armed with high-powered rifles, and the marchers turned back while the sheriff of the country watched the proceedings and officials of the lead company 'en-
  couraged the mob.
 Later the unionists were told to leave that section if they valued their lives.
