The excuse given for this was that
they had cast more votes than they
had members.
q. The votes of 10 lodges were
thrown out on the fIimsy excuse
that they had been delinquent in
their reports. These lodges cast
more votes for Anderson than for
Johnston.
5. Dawson refused to allow the
clerks to count the ballots Of 10
lodges on the grounds that he did
not receive the tally sheets.
6. In the case Of Lodge All, II
shows how the Johnston machine
was elected. There were 277 votes
for Johnston and only one for An

were cast and they have still the
blank ballots sent to them less the
SO votes cast.

ROME, July 29.-The attack on

of the MussoIinl government had an
unfavorabIe reaction here today even
In conservative circles.
Anti-fascisti were vigorous in their
denunciation of interference with free
speech.
While the speech which the former
premier delivered yesterday, has not
yet been circulated here in printed
form, it is understood that he merely
told his Palermo audience that the
opposition to the Mussolini regime,
would signalize it's dissatisfaction by
putting tickets in the field in the ap-
preaching municipal election in an
effort to defeat the fascist candidates.
For this and for expressing general
dissatisfaction with the governmental
methods of the fascist, Signor Orlan-

was necessary to call out troops to
quell the riot which ensued.

Federation, declared when leaving
Paris that he thought a strike was in
evitable, if it does not come now it
will come later week or two.
Hall calne codsakes the Owners.
The conference today is regarded as
last hope of bringing an agreement
before the strike begins. How it is
regarded by the British nation may
be seen by the fact that the distin-

ten an article in the Evening Standard

Sir Hall declares that If the mine
owners allowed the strike to come
with the whole strength of the trade
unions standing behind the miners,
they must not expect the miners to go

great novelist says:

Judge Hines emphasized that no

the affair would not be arranged at

Hence the August End picnic.

doubt. The very fact that conven-

the party membership should be well
represented there. 1t is no secret

in the party at present, and like all
