HARD CONTEST
Faced By British Unionists
In Miners Lockout

London, England.-Following a flu
tile resistance against the miners
lockout, trade unionists face legis-
lative onslaught against trade union
and social laws.
The conservative government,
headed by Premier Baldwin, is backed
by large employing interests that con-
stitute the Federation of British In
dustries. These employers declare
that wages must come down in order
that industry may adjust itself to the
new postwar conditions"
"There never was bigger delusion
than the view of our opponents that
the industrial struggles of the past
year have placed the workers in such
position that reaction may safely
go ahead with it's political attacks y
says the Daily Herald, owned by or
ganized labor.
"It must be made clear that the
workers of Britain will not submit to
any curtailment of their right to
strike, either on their own behalf or
in support of workers in other in
dustries and that they will not toler-
ate any new interference with the
powers Of their trade unions of or
their members"
With the work day of the miners
heightened and wages reduced, the
coal owners favor "peace in industry y

ITALIAN FAMILIES

ate en- proposals to amend the immi-
grafton law, that separated families
may be united, revealed that Italy re-
fuses passports to families, but per-
mits the father to come to America
that he may send wages to Italy.
If those Italians secure American
citizenship they are subject to mill
tary duty on return to their birth
place.
"It is the policy of the Italian gov
erment to send only the wage Garner,
and preferably the wage Garner who
leaves a family behind to bind him
to his fatherland," said Senator Reed,
Of Pennsylvania.
Every man who has come to the
United States in the last five and
half years came with his eyes wide
open, knowing that this country has
a quota law, and knowing that if he
left his family abroad and came alone,
his family might, and very likely
would, be stopped by that quota law.

PITY The BUSINESS
AGENT

The business agent-pity him!
You ought to if you won't;
He's damned by some because he does,
By others, if he don't.
He works all day and half the night;
He's always on the job;
A task like this can't we'll be filled
By bonehead, mutt or slob.
On Sundays if he ever should
Desire to 60 to church,
When he's not Johnny-on-the-spot,
For him they start search.
Inside month he listens to
A thousand tales of woe,
And some believe there's not thing
But what he ought to know.
He's target for the moocher,
And he can't keep out of range
Of the tourist who, when stranded,
Badly needs piece of change.
Then the knockers with their hammers
Keep on stirring up stink.
Yes, his path in life's pleasure,
Strewn with roses-I don't think.

Observation-Disclosures L. Smith, ap-

to fill the unexpired term of the late
Senator Mckinley, is finding senate
opposition increasing. He is charged
with accepting campaign funds from a
middle west public utilities magnate.
Smiths opponents first favored
seating him, and then attempting to
GUST him. AS this would require a
two-thirds vote, the plan now seems
to be to refuse his credentials. In
this case only majority vote is nee
essary.

London, old London town at last.
What it could have been | do not

haps it was the return To Il country
where Il familiar language was spoken;
perhaps it was the realization that
this was the last stop before board

The glimpses of famous landmarks
gained through the taxi windows as
we drove to our hotel made me more
eager to be out wandering around.
Our hotel, located as it was on the
Thames Embankment near the Water
loo Bridge, was an admirable start
ing point for walking excursions Cur
baggage was scarcely taken care of
before the urge to be out and looking
around was answered. Along the
Thames for quite a distance is II de-
lightful stretch of parking through
which paths wander past stone ben
chas and statues of famous statesmen
and authors. There, not far from our
hotel, stands "Cleopatra's Needle" an
other one of the Egyptian obelisks
transplanted into an alien land. Fur
Their up the river through the misty
veil were discernible the outlines of
the Houses of Parliament with the
great tower and the tower of big

Not only on the street but in the
hotel as well everything was inter
esting. Being one of the older host
elries detracted none from the comfort

lis on a small island helped us to

Lita Claims
Diploma in
MatYin1Ony
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

By MhS. w AL En- EEROOOON
Lita Grey Chaplin, who was re-
Gently divorced and is now visiting
in New York, says that marriage is
like a college course, and that she
has won her diploma.
Perhaps number of other wom-
en- who have lived through a score
of years making the best of bad
bargain will not agree with her.
And then, too, it really takes four
years to complete college course
and the Chaplins we're married in
1924.
Three Years Not Enough
And although Mrs. Chaplin has
borne two children and experienced
much storm and stress, it is the
woman who sticks over a longer
period of years who can actually
finish with cum laude degree.
However, this attitude of the
young divorce seems to be quite
popular these days. A girl who gets
the publicity attendant on marriage
with an internationally noted man,
who lives in luxury for a short time
and after her divorce will be pro-
vided with a sum of money to keep
her the rest of her life in comfort
is surely eXaggerating bit when
she calmly announces that she has
won her matrimonial diploma.
Ignorant of Truth
She may have suffered. She may
have made mistake when she gave
her heart and hand to Chaplin, lut
still you can't deny that too many
of todays girls want the world with
a ribbon around it. They want
money, prestige, luxury and love.
And for these things they offer
sometimes only their bodies. And
certainly they are entirely ignorant
of the significance of true marriage.
If you want the view of woman
who has actually earned a matri-
nonial diploma, go to an old woman
who has celebrated her golden we'd
ding anniversary, and thank heaven,
there are still some who do. Look
into her tired eyes that have smiled
through sorrow as we'll as joy; view
her gnarled hands that have not
been too soft and white to work for
the man she married, gaze on her
lined face that once was smooth and
know that you have seen a real
wife.

Author of "a Parents Guide to Children's
Reading" Etc.
1t is not only business that has
its slumps. Special kinds of books
have had periods of slumping badly.
Only few years ago girls in their
teens had few books of distinct in
terest to them. There were, Of
course, the fine old classics of Scott
and Dickens and Thackeray. There
were, too, their brothers books,
which they read with avidity. But
books dealing with subjects of par
ticular interest to them were of a
poor quality. Authors seemed to feel
ill at ease when writing for girls.
They couldn't give them fairy tales
and talking animal stories. So they
gave them school stories of such q
uniform pattern that they lacked
reality. They we're just so many
printed pages bound in hard covers.
The characters in them didn't live.
They existed in a mechanical fash
ion, and while machinery is essen
tial to modern comfort and we'll
being it doesn't, or shouldn't, belong
to literature.
Publishers Hesitated
And then, a few years ago, there
began to be change. 1t came
about slowly, very slowly. But with
a certainty about it. Nor perhaps
could the authors be entirely blamed
for what had happened. Publishers
seemed to be tremulous about put
ting any real romance, any real
spark of originality into books for
girls. So everyone frightened at the
beginning of the change. Authors
of books for girls began to feel an
interest in their work, their work
began to show it. Girls appreciated
the change and critics rejoiced that
they could tell young people md
their parents that here, after all,
was something for them.
One of the writer's whose work
has increasingly improved with each
new book has been Ethel Cook Eliot.
This year she has written an ex-
ceptionally fine story for girls. It's
title is STOREY Manor" doubleday,

when Tom, who appreciates that
Cecilia is the beauty of the family,
still can't stop thinking about Anna
Mary. But it is not only the ro-
nance of the story. 1t is the zest,
excitement, constant interest that it
has for the reader.

Anna Mary has plans-splendidly
inclusive plans-and by way of a
start she must go to call on Cousin
Malcolm. She goes, leaving Tom

of the mystery and the notes that
