of a proposed constitution has been
completed for the organic union OF

nominations. The union Will De

Joint national convention, which Will
open at Seattle, Wash. tomorrow,
The principle underlying the pa
sis of the union is stated in the
preamble of the constitution to be
1.-The acceptance of Christianity as
primarily a way of life" Uniformity
in theological opinions, or in sacra-
mental rites is not affirmed as prl-
mary.
The constitution was prepared
Jointly under the direction or the
Congregational Commission on
Inter-Church Relations and the
Christian Commission on Chris
tian Union.
The basis of union is such that
the hope is entertained by the COM
missions that the two denominations
will be joined before long by others
in a yet larger and more inclusive
union. The constitution expressly
provides that the name of the new
united body, 1.-The General Council
of the Congregational and Christian
Churches" shall be used only until
such time as more inclusive name
shall be chosen"
The constitution specifies that the
new General Council shall have two
moderators. one from the Congrega-
tional group and one from the
Christian group, until 1885, after
which there shall be only one mod
orator. The Council shall have a
secretary. an assistant secretary and
departmental secretaries. Bureaus
Of Evangelism, of Ministerial Sup
ply. of Stewardship and of Christian
Unity and two permanent Commits
sions on Social Relationships and
Good Citizenship, and on Interna-
tional and Inter-racial Relations are
to be established by the Council.

HAD MILL RIOTS
Thousands of Dollars
Worth of Damage Done
to the General Fabrics
Company Last Night

Central Falls, r. l., July 10
(UP)-State police patrolled the
area surrounding the plant of the
General Fabrics company to-day
after thousands of dollars worth of
damage was caused to the mill by
rioting strikers last night
More than 1000 persons partici-
pated in the disorder which resulted
from an attempt to reopen the mill,
closed by strike. Practically all
the 500 windows in the building
were shattered by stones hurled by
the mob and great damage was
done to the valuable machinery by
falling glass and debris.
So fierce was the battle that a
call for help was sent to Governor
Case and all available state police
were ordered to the scene. When
they arrived local police were hold
ing the bowling crowd at bay with
a fire hose. Several officers had
been beaten and the rioters were
getting beyond control.
The troopers took command of
the situation and after giving a final
warning to move on started bar
rage of tear gas. The strikers and
their sympathizers gradually gave
way but not without last struggle.
The bombs were thrown back into
the ranks of troopers and the air
was filled with missiles.
In an hour the scene had quieted
and checkup of injuries was start
ed. Scores were badly bruised but
the only serious injuries were those
of Deputy Fire Chief Daniel Healy
who was badly stoned and beaten
when he gave the order to turn the
stream of water on the crowd.
After inspecting the mill to-day,
George Manton, general manager,
said the interior had been hope
lessly wrecked. 1t had been closed
for some time and opened with a
small force only yesterday. The
trouble started when the workers
left at the end of the day.
Police expected trouble and were
at the scene but the battle started
so quickly they We're outnumbered
and unable to maintain order. They
arrested one man, Aloysius Hull of
this city, who was charged with in
citing to riot and three men said to
be alien communists, were taken
into custody by federal immigration
officers from Boston.

EXPERTS MAKE
OWN QUAKES

Cambridge, Mass, (UP)-Harvard
seismologists are manufacturing
earthquakes in an investigation of
the foundation on which continents
rest.
Made by a small charge of dyna-
mite, the shocks used in these ex-
periments move the ground so
little that instruments which mag
Nifty a disturbance 10000 times are
needed to record them.
For years seismologists have
studied the velocity with which
waves caused by earthquakes
travel through and around the
earth. From these studies they
have learned the rock which
forms ocean basins is different
from that which composes con-
tinents, for the most part.
There is evidence that beneath
a veneer of sedimentary rocks

FAMOUS ENGLISH HOTEL
HAS TWO BAR TIMES

Maidenhead, (TP) There Is a
famous river hotel here which has
bar with two closing times.
Skindles, as the hotel is known, was
rest-hotel during the war, and is
popular weekend roadhouse for
Londoners. Half of it is in Bucking-
hamshire and half in Berkshire.
Thus one side of the bar closes
at 10 p. m. and the other at 1880
p. m. The latter half is the most
popular.
Recently the management applied
for an extension of license during
Ascot race week. The buckingham
shire authorities granted one until
1880 p. M, but no reply was re-
ceived from the Berkshire authori-
ties. 1t was feared that the old or
| der would remain unchanged.
Eventually, however, the Berkshire
authorities granted an extension till
1880 p. m.
For once in a way the bar will
be closed as whole, and thirsty
visitors may buy their drink in one
county and sip it in another, as they
do earlier in the day.

Following the defeat of Scott in

Newspapers lamented the de-

unfair. A number of leading art

News of sports and a Fourth Of
July weekend holiday was balanced
during the past seven days by final
ly successful negotiations to put
President Hoover's debt holiday
program into effect.
| Mr. Hoover announced all-round
agreement on his proposal last Mon
day. To a conference of experts
was left the task of working out
the details. The big fact is that for
a year until July /, 1882, Germany
will not pay reparations; allied
debtors will not pay the United
States.
The stock market, which in
dulged in asmall boom just after
the plan was announced, slumped
slightly when agreement was
| reached.

ably of more interest among aver

prize fight at Cleveland in which
