NEWFOUNDLAND CABINET
MEMBERS QUIT POSTS

BY the Associated Press.
ST. JOHNS, Newfoundland, May "a.
Two members of the Colonial govern.
ment yesterday yielded to the demand
of Premier Walter S. Monroe and SUB
mltted their designations. They are
Charles Russell, minister of pubic
works, without a seat in the cabinet,
and Gordon Bradley, minister without
portfolio.
Together with two unnamed mem
bers of the government, they were
charged by the premier with plotting
with the opposition to overthrow the
ministry.
Russell and Bradley are asserted to
have planned with the opposition to
move vote of no confidence, after
Minister Crosbie had presented his
financial statement last Tuesday. The
plans for the coup supposedly were
based on the assumption that the
budget would include provision for in
creased taxation, but when this feature
did not appear. the promoters failed
to push their plans

British Miners Chief Bitter
at Other Unions Desertion.

LONDON, May 24.-The fifth week
Of the coal mine strike finds the mine
owners and the miners apparently as
far apart from settlement OF the1r
dispute as when the simultaneous
lockout and strike began.
The miners, If the words of their
general secretary. A. j. Cook. may be
taken as a criterion of their feelings,
are bitterly resentful of the action of
the Trades Union Council for ending
the general strike called in sympathy
with the miners.
Mr.. Cook, in a speech in the Ithond-
da Valley, in Wales Yesterday, as
serted that the cessation OF the gen.
eral strike was shameful betrayai
of the miners and that recent speeches
of the former Labor premier. Ramsay
Macdonald, and J. II. Thomas, secre-
tary of the Railway Mems Union. urg-
ing the miners to relax i'll their de-
nands, would be read with shame by
people of the working classes. lie
said the Trades Union Council had left
the miners stranded. but that they in
tended to continue the struggle.
Wives Held Against Strike.
suffragette. is authority for the state
ment that had a secret ballot been
taken by the wives of the coal miners
a strike would never have been de-
clared.
In the Merthyr Valley in Wales
women and children are bearing the
brunt of the fight of the men. Ihe
women. without grumbling. almost
savagely, are carrying out the task
OF feeding their large families. even
though wages or strike pay are not
forthcoming. AS against the usual
S10.5O weekly income when the men
are employed the housewife now has
s2.75 weekly allowance from the
county guardians. Daily the miners
in South Wales are besieging union
Headquarters for relief. but the strike
committees asert that their funds are
nearly exhausted.
King Cancels Train Trip.
The situation due to the miners
strike upset the holiday plans of the
King. Queen and other members of
the British royalty. For the first
time since their accession the King
and Queen spent Whit Monday in
Buckingham Palace.
They had planned to go to Alder
shot and also to Sandringham, the
home of the late doWager queen, but
the King Cancelled the tip because
it involved special trains, necessitat-
ing the use of coal. which the rail-
wavs are endeavoring to conserve IN
every way possible.
The Prince of Wales. the Duke OF
York and Princess Mary all are
spending the holiday in London.
which is also rather unusual.

Miss Virginia MerriIl's
Prize Winning Essay
Interesting History Of East
ern Shore Revolutionary
Soldier.

The Eastern Shore has reason to
be proud-proud of her mild climate;
proud of her sea-breezes; proud of her
evergreen forests; proud of her his
tory, and her noble sons and daugh-
tiers who have made that history. It
is not generally known that the first
European who ever trod the soil of
the United States trod the soil of our
own Worcester county. In 1924, only
thirty-two vars after Columbus dis
covered America, and eighty-four
years before the chivalrous John
Smith settled at jamestown, Italian
navigator, Verrazanno, approached our
coast and anchored his ship in the
beautiful Sinepuxent Bay. From this
we see that the history of our section
began at the very beginning of all
American history
Verrazanno's Journal tells us that
he called the country Arcadia, for the
romantic province Of Greece, because
Of the beauty of the trees" Let US
then, rival the ancient Grecian bards
by singing the praises of our own Ar
cadia, with it's true heroes and hero
ines.
Worcester county has never had a
more loyal and brilliant hero than
Col. John Gunby, leader of the "Old
Maryland Line" of Revolutionary
fame. No son of hers deserves to be
more honored than this noble, Patriot,
who fought midst all the perils and
hardships Of war to save his country
and to further the cause of Liberty.
The first Gunbys in America emf
grated from England and settled in
Queen Anne equity, where they had
obtained grant Of land from the
third Lord Baltimore. In ITO, Gun
by's grandfather moved to Somerset
county, which at that time included
the three present counties of Worces-
ter, Somerset and Wicomico. Here,
on the large estate on Gunby's Creek,
six miles from Crisfeld, Col. John
Gunby was born March 10, 1745.
Altho' Gunby was born in Somerset
county, his later life was spent on his
farm two miles south of Snow Hill, in
Worcester county. This farm was
originally vast tract of land known
as Security" and was bequeathed to
him in his fathers will. Here he was
living when his country called him to
service.
It was the love of freedom inherent
in all Americans that filled the heart
Of John Gunby, and caused him to vol
unteer as minute man in the spring
of 1775.. His father, who was al
staunch Loyalist and an influential
property-holder in the community,
was very much opposed to this action
on his sons part, and tried to dissuade
him from his purpose. Elisha Gunby,
a nephew of Col. Gunby, tells about a
conversation which took place between
father and son upon the subject. To
all his fathers remonstrances against
disloyalty to the Crown, Gunby re-
piled, 81 am determined to join with
the American forces, come what may.
We have little to fear, for justice will
dominate. For me, would rather
sink into a Patriots grave than wear
the crown of England.

 Mrs, Cromwell, who has national ranking as a parliamentarian, is secretary of the national association of secretaries of state.

C.. when Sappho, the Greek fIapper, not to be outdone by the Greek philosophers, organized club in literature; since the time when Africa followed Greece with 6 club in Alexandria which became so popular that the men begged en- trance and were finally admitted, and since Annie Hutchinson, in 1884, organized her American club to dis Cuss sermons,
