COMEDY WILL BE PRESENTED
 SCHOOL CAST
Is Eat S.?" Is Feature Offering by Thespians
 of Douglas Island

After practic.ug for five weeks, Is Eat Sop, a three act comedy, whuch is sponsored by the Jun iors under the supervision of Mrs. Engstrom, will be staged at the Douglas Coliseum tomorrow night. Situations rich in humor abound throughout the play
 Although the play takes place in 1916 and 1918, the costumes af the cast will be the usual modern dress. There is no change of scenery, for the entire action takes place in the combination kitchen dining room of the three pals, Art Leo and "Remorse." The room is typical of the cheap fur nished variety and is limited to the barest necessities. A sink with running water will be an unusual feature in the setting.
 The play will recall some old song favorites such as "On the Beach at Waikiki, They're Wearing Them Higher in Hawaii Believe Me If All Those Endaar- ing Young Charms, and Hail Hail, The Gangs All Here"
 Hilja Reinikka and Angus Gair have the Irish brogue down pat in their interpretation of Mrs Ccnnelley and Mike. Tauno Neimi enacts the part of "Remorse", vaudeville actor, who is always wise cracking and singing, much to the disgust of his two pals, Art and Leo. Art Harry Lun- delD and Leo Civilian Cashen . newspaper reporters, are more quiet and less demonstrative than their noisy, happy-go- o-lucky friend.
 Peggy Bryant Rosie Africh, a charming and pretty girl, is an actress who is looking for a the atrical engagement when she meets the boys. They adopt her as their sister and she keeps house for them, proving herself and ef- ficient cook and housekeeper Elm mic, (Vieno Wahto), the dirty, unkempt servant girl in Mrs. Con- nelly's apartment house, is utter ly without training and education being unable to even read But the skies change for the "Mopups" and she finds happiness before the curtain rings down on the last act.
 The War breaks out and the boys enlist, causing the gang to scatter. They are brought to- gether again in a delightful and happy manner, two years later on Christmas eve.
 Tickets are now on sale for the matinee for children to be given at 2.15 in the afternoon and for the evening performance at 8:15 | D. m.

AS The WORKER
SEES HIS WORLD
Summary and Digest Of
Important Events Of the
Week, Mere and Abroad

More than 100000 British govern
ment employees, with their children,
wives and sympathizers, held an i'm
pressive demonstration in London on
October II in protest against cutting
of their wages by the national gov
ernment.
About $500 more workers are re-
ported now employed by metal manu-,
featuring firms in the Philadelphia
area than in July, according to re-
ports from more than 100 firms.
Dispatches from Manila say that
the general strike called recently by
cigar workers in the Philippine cap
ital proved failure in all except
three factories and the men returned
to work.
Salary cuts affecting every branch
of the provincial service have been
announced by the British Columbia
government and will lop about a
quarter of million dollars a year
off its expenditures.
With the exception of one colliery
where repairs are being made and at
several which have been closed per-
manently, all anthracite mines of the
Glen Alden Coal Company in Lacka-
wanna and Luzerne counties, Pa, re-
sumed operations October IL after
having been idle nearly two weeks
because of an unauthorized strike of
$4,000 men.
Improvement in the unemployment
situation in Great Britain is reported
from London, decrease of more than
$4,000 in the weekly total of unem-
ployed being hailed as an indication
of returning prosperity.

COAL men APPROVE
PAY DISCUSSION

Charleston, w. Va. (ILNS)-At q
conference here of West Virginia coal
operators, Gov. William G. Conley
suggested that stabilization of wages
and opposition to wage reductions be
considered at a proposed conference
OF operators from eight competitive
states. 1t was decided to seek the
holding of the conference, which will
discuss stabilization of the industry.
The conference of West Virginia
operators, held at the call of Gov.
Conley, was asked by the governor to
discuss changes in the antitrust laws
to permit operators to meet and con-
slider prices for their product that
would give fair profit and the miner
a living and surplus wage" The
governor also asked that curtailment
Of production and stabilization of
wages be considered.
The conference adopted resolution
approving Gov Conley's suggestions
upon modification Of the federal anti
trust law, curtailment Of production
in the competitive states, the pay
ment of an adequate wage to those
employed in the industry, and meet
ing of committees Of operators from
West Virginia, Virginia, Kentucky,
Tennessee, Ohio, Pennsylvania, In
diana and Illinois to consider the
problems of the coal industry.

Labor Secures Pensions
For Canal Zone Workers

The influence of the trade union
movement was of assistance during
the last session of congress in secur-
ing pension legislation for the en-
ployes of the Panama Canal and the
Panama Railroad Company who are
citizens of the United States, accord
ing to the report made by the execu-
tive council of the American Fedora
tion of Labor to the 1881 convention
of the federation at Vancouver, B. c..
"All employees" the report said, ''to
whom the act applies, after they have
reached the age of 81 years and rem
dered at least Is years of service on
the Isthmus of Panama, shall be auto
matically retired on the annuity pro-
vided for in the law.
"The law also provides for disabil-
ity retirement and involuntary sepa-
ration from the service. The en-
ployes affected have unanimously en-
dorsed the law"

knew it in the old sense has disap,
peared. AS quoted in the New York
Times she said in part:
There has been tendency to
utilize the services of women and of
younger men, mere youths, in labor"
said DR.. Meek. "The services of per-
sons of middle age and beyond are
less and less in demand. The uncer-
talnty of working conditions has
brought lack of security to uncounted
thousands of American homes. It has
been necessary in many instances for
the wife to go to work. There has
been a decrease in the number of chill
dren and in the number of childless
marriages.

BIG NORWEGIAN
STRIKE ENDS IN
LABOR VICTORY
Workers Accept Award of
ConciliatOr Reducing Pay
6 Per Cent-EmplOyers
Had Sought Large Cut.

Washington, d. C. ILNS)-Re-
porting the ending of the great strike
of Norwegian workers, the Interna-
tional Federation of Trade Unions
says that the strikers won at least
partial victory. The federation's
report says:
"The big struggle in Norway, which
began on March Is with the lockout
of 10000 paper workers, and was
augmented by the subsequent lockout
of no less than $4,000 workers, is now
at an end, the workers having ac-
cepted the award of the state con-
ciliator which they rejected last Au-
gust After the conciiators' propos-
ais had been rejected, negotiations
were resumed-in part between the
two national organizations and in
part with the union executives of the
Individual trades-at which agree
ment was reached as to the interpre-
tation to be put upon certain ambigu-
Gus passages. Then referendum
was held, which yielded a majority of
the trade union members for the ac-
ceptance of the award.
"The fight may be said to have
ended in victory for the workers,
since the wage cut which is to come
into effect will only be an average of
6 per cent, while the employers had
demanded cut of Is to 25 per cent,
and the index figure of The cost of
living has fallen by IL per cent since
the last settlement of wages.
"The lockout which rs now at an
end is the most extensive and pro-
tracted labor dispute ever known in
the history Of Norway, and it has
been carried through with unexam-
pied endurance and splendid solidar-
ity. In strike benefits alone the Nor
wegian trade unions have paid out
nearly 20,000,000 kronen during the
conflict. 1t would of course have been
impossible to raise this sum had it
not been for the Incompatible soli-
darity of the Danish and Swedish
trade unions which provided the bulk
Of the money required for the long
drawn-out struggle. The close CO.
operation between the Scandinavian
trade unions has once more stood the
severest of ordeals."

One of the sWiftest truck trips
ever made between Imperial Valley
and San Diego took place recent
ly when a standard stock model
tWo-ton Studebaker truck made the
100 mile run overloaded by so per
cent with Fred Bright cantaloupes,
in three hours and 20 minutes by
Western Union time. This eStab-
fishes a record in fast truck trans
pOrtation of perishables, according
to Rogers and Tison, local Stude-
baker distributors.
The truck had travelled only $50
miles before being turned over for
the trip. At Z o'clock in the eve
ming the truck was loaded with the
cantaloupes and weighed, the only
servicing done was the usual oiling
and greasing. The scales showed a
net weight of 6,270 pounds. A road
light was added to make night
driving safer. Otherwise the truck
was a stock standard model with
regular equipment and Ray Sewell,
an experienced truck driver, at the
wheel
The start was made from the
Western Union office here, where
the time was checked. All traffic
regulations and boulevard stops
were observed within the city. A
strong headwind was blowing
against the truck during the first
25 miles of travel across the desert.
At the end of this stretch the
road starts upward, winding
around through the canyons until
it finally reaches an altitude of
more than 1000 feet.
Next the truck roared over the
tops OF the mountains, twisting and
turning, up steep pitches and down
sharp inclines for another so miles
until reaching the beginning of the
tortuous downward grade toward
San Diego.
There are few level or straight
stretches along the entire route.
