Compromise

especial 70 The Daily WorkeTl
LONDON, Feb. 22.-Dock-
ers' delegates who met here to-
day to ratify the agreement
ending the nationwide strike
that has paralyzed British
ports adjourned today without
deciding one way or the other.
They all meet again Mon
day. Meanwhile the strike
continues.
The mems leaders and en-
ployers reached a settlement
yesterday, but the delegates
have to agree before the strike
can be called off.
Between now and Monday the dele
gates will return to their home dis
tricts and put their terms before the
members.
The latter are reported generally
determined to insist upon obtaining
the full two shilling increase imme-
diateiy. The employers offered
shilling raise now and another next
year.
The meeting yesterday showed
that the rank and file of the strik-
ers are in open revolt against their
leaders and the compromise offer of
a shilling raise now and another
after q period to be settled by fur
Their negotiation.
Strikers Suspicious.
The rank and file delegates take
the position that the present offer
is for the purpose of getting them
back to work and demoraIizing the
strike after they have demonstrated
their power to tie up transportation
completely.
The demand that the employers be
required to furnish the men with
full weeks work or pay the equiva-
lent has not been agreed to by the
stevedoring companies but has been
referred to a commission to be ap-
pointed by the minister of labor.
Union members from London and
the northern ports are strongly
against any compromise whatever as
their employers have signifed their
willingness to pay the two-shilling
increase. The absolute tie-up and
the feeling that the Labor Party
government can interfere for the
employers only at risk of losing its
whole left wing labor support gives
the lockers greater confidence in the
strength of their position.
Government Makeshifts.
If the settlement is rejected by
strikers, and this is regarded by
those who attended the conference
here as a foregone conclusion, the
government will institute a permit
system for the unloading and trans
portation of food No food will be
taken from warehouses except on
permits that are ratified by the
strike committees of the union. The
cold storage warehouse owners have
already agreed to this proposal.
Prices win also be fixed by the gov
eminent.
The employees Of the cold storage
houses in London and Liverpool
struck Yesterday, further increasing
the difficulty of food deliveries. In
Liverpool they returned to work
after receiving an increase of ~
shillings per week.
More Labor Trouble.
The entire labor situation is be-
coming more delicate as more agree
ments expire. The miners fedora
ton will meet the operators on
March and has called delegate
conference for March IL to consider
the offers made by the operators. It
is agreed in all quarters here that
unless the operators grant hand
some concessions strike will be
called.

If Smyrna Town Council does

If Smyrna Town Council doe:
not feel they have funds to oper
and extend streets, why not put
the question to a referendum
vote to issue bonds to open and
extend all streets to the Boule-
ward and open and extend
Market Street thru to South.
The bond issue needed would be
small in comparison with other
projects and would open up
prospects for revenues in the
way of taxes, light, water and
sewer, that would in time more
than pay the interest on the
bonded Indebtedness. Smyrna.

itself better to the boulevard

every week, go by Smyrna and
never know the name of our
town. We favor a diagonal road
north into Smyrna; we favor
opening Mt. Vernon Street and
South Street thru; we favor pla-
carding all streets, not only with
the name of said street but the
name of the town of Smyrna as
well. We favor opening Market
Street thru to South to relieve
traffic congestion to Smyrna's
community center-the Smyrna

opportunity to derive some rev.

progressive step and would help

all these street approaches at

ATHLETICS AT HIGH SCHOOL
The Spirit of Smyrna High School in
Sports as Viewed By an Outsider

The Spirit of Smyrna High School in
Sports as Viewed By an Outsider
We have all read about and heard
Of the great spirit Of certain institu-
tons, such as the spirit of Colgate
University which is known through
out the land. Such a spirit acts as a
goal for higher attainments in schol-
arship and athletics. 1t also acts as
a moral guide on the student body by
being courteous and respectful to its
opponents. An institution, whether it
be High School or University, without
such p spirit is like being without
back bone. The spirit Of Smyrna
High School is extremely poor. 1t is
safe to say that it is below any other
IN the State. The student body of
Smyrna High School should be
ashamed and should set about to pro-
mote a spirit that will be carried ON
from one class to another, year after

Famous Blackface Come dian Opens Road Sea-
 son At Jefferson

Once more we are to have chance to welcome the eyer popnlar Classes" and his 40 fellow artists, comprising the All!Ctars. This famous organization will be at. the Jefferson -theater four days, beginning Wednesday. Classes" to those who know him best has many commendable traits not least of which is his insistence on dividing with his fellow players all credit for the marked success of the All Stars. He contends that they contributed to it and are en- titled to full share in the praise. That he is the foremost minstrel of the day does not cause him to be blind to the, ability of those associated with him. With thezever present desire to improve it is said that ''Lasses" has fairly outdone all his previous efforts in the program he is offering this sea son. The promise is made that every thing is new even to the arrangement of the entertainment which is in six episodes. Starting with the first part called 'The Rose Arbor," to which is given in a beautiful scene with rich draperies that is a duplicate in lesser size of scene that was created for the Paris Grand Opera. Plantation Days of 1924" it is promised, is singing and dancing number of a high order, whereas the afterpiece named "The Hotel de. Blackville" is a rip-roaring sketch in which the inimitable 'Lasses" will be seen as beelboy, fly and up to the minute-anOther of the charac- ters that he has borrowed from life. That "Lasses' gives much faithful DOT traiture to the types of darkies in which he has been seen lays in the fact that having spent the early years of his life in and near Dallas where he was in position to see the darky in his native surroundings, and "Lasses" being Ob- serving, and furthermore, interested In their study, he became. the recognized peer of. all artists in their delineation. Asereat array of minstrel are associ- ated with "Lasses" this season and among them are Billy" Doss, monol- ogist second to none. Then there is Dan Holt, who with Charlie Morris and Bobby Burns assist "Lasses" as end man, while Maxwell Gordon and Frank Gilmore are interlocutors. Of singers there are Jimmie Mcdonald, Tommy Pickert, Paul Steel. Bob Johnson, Bob Maupin, William Dill, Karl Denton, the Eltinge of mintserels, and the Blackville quartet. Asjdancers the corps includes Chet Wilson, Eddie Girton, Louis Tracy, Joe Mullen, Burch ,Arkett, Charles McFeely, Bobby Burns and Jack Hays, who arranges all the dances.
