ILLEGAL EVICTIONS STOPPED
 IN w. VIRGINIA MINE FIELD

detectives and thugs. Governor Nor gan consulted Attorney General E. T. England, who held that summary evic- tions, when attended by force or breach of peace, were unlawful
 Members of the Kanawha coal op- orators group announced that they would resort to court processes for the possession of the houses.
 Action of the A. F. of L. executive board was appreciated by the miners, President Lewis said, but the commit tee probably were not advised that the illegal evictions had stopped three days prior to the adoption of, the reso- lution.
 Unlawful use of gangs of private detectives to force miners and their families from the company houses, was declared likely to stir up serious trou- ble, if persisted in by the coal com panies. The practice was used by the companies in an effort to break the morale of the miners, as well as to avoid the legal difficulties and delays attendant upon the regular court pro- cess of eviction.

Clarksburg, W. Va, Aug. 23.-Evic- ton of union miners from company owned houses without regular process of law, has been stopped, according to information here. Company gunmen and detectives had been driving the miners families from the houses.

 Civil suits are to be filed against cempanies guilty of unlawful intrusion, in connection with the evictions, 1t was stated by John L. Lewis, president of the U. M. w. of A., who came here to look into the situation. The mine workers legal department in Indianapo- lis, will handle the litigation.
 Union officials brought the matter to the governors attention, when the coal companies resorted to summary evictions by rowing bands of private

GENERAL STRIKE
 FACES THEATERS
Musicians Demands for Increased Pay and Closed Shop Likely to
 Cause Split.

New York, Aug. 23.-Theaters all over the country are threatened with a strike of musicians and other work CTS on September 1 unless some ad- justment of the increase Ill wages de- manded by the unions Is made before hand Although the possibility of a strike of motion picture operators which loomed up before managers here last week has practically been averted the movie houses as we'll as the legitimate theaters and vaudeville houses will be dark on Labor Day un- less the present difficulties of the musi clans are settled.
 The strike would affect between 4,OOO and 5000 men in New York, Philadel- phia, Chicago, Boston, Cincinnati, Syracuse, St. Louis and Washington. The unions have demanded increases ranging from 10 to 50 per cent. and in some cases the demand has included an insistence' on closed shop. The man. agers, it is said, are for the most part reluctant to give into the demands and are seriously considering preparing to fight the strikers with non-union men.

 stion of Its Kind in the East.

The first organization of colored musicians in the East was effected in New Haven this week when Local AS , American Federation of Musicians, was instituted and James Fletcher installed as president and Joshua R.

Silk Manufacturers Take Up Question of U. s. Consolidation Chiefs
 Plan at Meeting.

Paterson, Aug. 23-A committee rep- resenting several thousand silk workers who went on strike here this week for abandonment of the multiple loom sys- tenn and increased wages announced af- ter conference with Mayor Colin NJ Mclean that it had agreed to submit the demands to arbitration
 The Paterson Broad Silk Manufac- turers will consider acceptance of the arbitration offer. Individual manufac- turers are said to have declared there are no grounds for arbitrations.
 The proposal for arbitration was ad- vanced by John A. Moffit, United States Cancellation Commissioner and contem- plates a board of seven members, rep resenting both sides.
 Strikers who paraded to Clifton this week and marched to and fro in front of mills there were warned by Recorder Barbour of that town that picketing of mills in which the workers have not left their looms would be considered disorderly conduct. Several arrests were made.

DAVIS TO RECORD
 LABOR BELIEFS IN
 WHEELING SPEECH
Will Speak Labor Day Before Ohio Trade and Labor Assembly
 at Big Meeting

Locust Valley, N. Y, August B. John w. Davis will start his long west ward trip with a second address in his home state. It will be delivered al Wheeling on Labor Day at a meeting held under the auspices of the Ohio Valley Trade and Labor assembly.
 In deciding to expound his views on labor in West Virginia, the Democratic presidential candidate ran counter to the wishes of some of his political ad- visors who expressed apprehension that such an early return to his native heath might be viewed as an evidence that he regarded the state as a very doubtful one.
 While giving careful weight to the advice thus received, Mir. Davis decided to accept the invitation extended by President, Mahoney of the Ohio Valley assembly because he wishes to speak face to face with laboring men from a number of states and the Wheeling assembly will afford him that oppor- tunity.
 Details regarding the place and the hour of the address remain to be set tied. Usually such gatherings are held beside the river, with the speaker stand ing on the cobblestone wharf, a relic of the old steamboat days, and the au- dience gathered on the nearby bank where many thousands can find acco- modatiOns.
 From Wheeling Mir. Davis vii strike into the middle west for several speech es before crossing the Mississippi river into the northwest.

 Apparently Mir. Durant has wakened up to the advantage his competitors were enjoying by their generous use of advertising. This week I ran into Colin Campbell recently appointed vice president and general sales manager of Durant Motors. In reply to question, Mir. Campbell said
 II have. just returned from a trip. We have opened wholesale offices in Boston, Philadelphia, Chi 2ago and At lanta. We plan to open some more of these wholesale offices in the middle west within the next Few weeks. We are also to open more of them in the south in the very near future. And by and by we mean to cover the whole country with wholesale offices at strate- gic points and dealers covering every nook and corner of the continent. We figure that this is the best IethOd for building up an aggressive national sales force. We have been using distribu- tors, located at a number of centers,
