Well-guarded lorries with food sup

streets of London today; trains moved
more freely; the striking workmen
continued to obey their leaders, and

Denies Salary Boost
For Mass. Registrar

Boston, May 10.-(Fo - Governor
Fuller today vetoed bill to increase
the salary Of Frank A. Goodwin,
state registrar of motor vehicles,
from $1,000 to $4,000 n year. In re-
turning the bill to the house, the
goveOor pointed out that the bill,
contrary to the provisions of every
act of the legislature ever passed
concerning salaries. provides for the
minimum and not the maximul sal
airy to be paid.
This provision OF itself should de-
feat the bill. The abuses which could
occur under such authorization are
so MANIFEST that EXPERIMENTATION Is
unnecessary"
The governor indicated many
equally important officials who are
Tess often in the public eye" and
for whom there Is no agitation for
increased compensation. A survey
of the entire state salary question is
being undertaken, he said.

Montreal Favor Help
For British Strikers

Montreal, May 1O.-(P1-Prolonged
cheers greeted suggestion Of PresI-

Amalgamated Clothing Workers of

seventh biennial convention starting
here today, should show more than
the sympathy already expressed by
cable, for the British strikers.
1t was not the duty, he said. Of the
convention to pass upon the policy
that resulted in the calling of the
strike. The fact that many labor
organizations have come to the aid
of their poorly paid miners" with
the confidence labor leaders on this
continent have in those of Britain
was sufficient to justify further
action, Mr.. Hillman said.
