Weekly Payment
 Of Rent Favored
Harris Believes in the System -L Long Agitatet
 Locally

Payment of rent by the week fn- stead of monthly ig among the things recommended by William M. Harris, head of the unemploy- ment bureau in this city, who is now supervising a relief plan in New Britain. MT Harris is quoted as stating he was always in favor of the weekly rent payment. and that he is of the opinion it would be a benefit to the tenant as well as to the landlord.
 Just how the average tenant would feel about this is not gen. erally known, but like all other customs of long standing 1t is like ly that a change would not be pop ular. For many years all the fac- tories paid once month, and no doubt this is how the monthly pay- ment of rents came into practice. The same thing was true of board. Everybody paid by the month un- til the weekly pay system went into effect in the shops and other places where large numbers were em- ployed.
 It is an important question. If

HIGH FINANCE
 DISCUSSED IN PRIVATE HOMES
Secret Conference Being Held at Bar HarbOr Be- tween Bank of England Head and N. Y. Finan- ciers

New York, Aug 23-(U. P.) = What is termed in high financial circles as "the most important private international financial con- ference" of the year is being held in a number of country homes at Bar Harbor. Me, this week between Governor Montagu Norman of the Bank of England and number of important New York, Washington and Philadelphia financiers.
 Every effort is being made to guard the names of these latter but 1t is regarded as significant in New York that Governor George l.. Har- rison of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York is, reported out of the city. During the last half of the week Norman is expected to ar- rive in New York. Whether there will be any publicity admitted con- ference with Eugene Meyer, gov ernor of the federal reserve board is not known.
 Meyer is reported to be at his Mi Kisco, N. Y. estate.
 The British program in refer ence to it's next payment of their debt to the United States, which
 
 ly is regarded as one of the topics uppermost in the minds of the head of the great British governmental bank and the American interna- tional financiers. It is known inn portant British bankers, even mem- bers of the directorate of the Bank of England, make no effort to deny that Great Britain, in all probability, will not be able to meet it's payment at that time. Congress does not meet until December and financial circles feel 1t is important that preliminary arrangements and plans to meet this situation should be tentatively considreed as early as possible.
 Another matter. of great import ance Is creation of an effective plan looking toward international coop eration to raise commodity prices. Great Britain, particularly in its dolninions, is severely hit by the fall of commodity prices and Brit ish return to the gold standard can- not be accomplished until definite change for the better is secured. It also is probable that the question of Brtt;sh-American cooperation in the agenda of the coming inter- national economic conference will be touched upon. There is a grow ing feeling in both the United States and Great Britain that any International economic conference tO be of real value must consider issues in connection with tariffs and the so called "war" debts.

UNION MINERS
 | MAKE THREAT TO
 MARCH ON MINES
25,OOO Strong They Will Start Wednesday-3O,- 900 Deputies Ready Under Sheriff to Meet Them

Springfield, Illinois. August 23-- (UP) = Striking miners are re- ported planning to march 25,00O strong on operating coal mines Wednesday in Egypt" where one sheriff, whose deputies killed a picket Monday. has promised to meet them with 30,000 deputies.
 While everything appeared peaceful and serene today in the southern Illinois coal district where war over a new wage scale has been raging, there was an un- dercurrent of fear and hatred. in Hated by the killing of the picket at Zeigler.
 Small groups of miners working under the new $5 a day wage scale brought up 8 trickle of coal from scattered mines, as Zeigler, Taylor vile, West Frankfort and other centers reported that thousands of men opposing the scale were plan ming a new protest march.
 The miners aroused by the kill ing of the picket during a battle with deputy sheriffs, planned to gather Wednesday at Gillespie to March into the Franklin and Sa- line county districts.
 Union leaders at Taylorsvilie said all the 1,500 men in that vii cinity would join the march. They predicted that from 26,000 to 30,- 900 miners would participate.
 The battle which cost the life or Dominic Lauranti at Zeigler start ed when deputies attempted to drive 200 pickets from a mine en- trance. Several shots were fired, Lauranti's body was found hours later.
 Sheriff Browning Robinson, who led the Zeigler deputies said that if the proposed new march mater . ialized and 30,000 men did come into his territory he. would have 30, 900 deputies to meet them.
 Any miner who wants to work in this county can do so," the sheriff announced.
 While six large union mines in Saline country operated yesterday without interference, the protest movement spread to non-union mines in another section. Four mines shut down at Nashville af- ter 300 union pickets persuaded the non-union men to join the strike.
 Tickets also visited several other towns. At Galesburg, perma- nent picket line was posted about the Knoxville Mining Company property. Every mine in Fulton county was surrounded and shut down.

the proposed new order should 60 into effect 1t would be mean that the landlord would have to calI oftener than he does now. and the tenant would not have as long . lease of his tenement. Then you pay a months rent. you have q right to the place for four weeks. but if the change comes the lease will be much shortera The Ques- ton has often been raised in Wa terbury as to why one was sup posed to be paying rent in advance in case the landlord insisted on payment when the tenant entered the premises instead at the end of a month, but the practice never be- came general. The average 1and~ lord is quite well satisfied if the tenant comes down with the cash at the end of each month. But no matter what turn things take, the payment of rent will always be q matter of agreement between the owner and the occupant, 90 that there Is nothing in the proposition to cause uneasiness.

 About 30 children were vaccin- ated today by Dr Godfrey who was confronted with many children, ac- companied by parents who did not understand the program laid down by the health department. This practice of vaccinating in the health department office, however, will not be followed throughout the period pending the opening of the pre-school clinic, Dr. Godfrey explained this morning.
 1t is estimated that a few thousand children will have to be vaccinated this year before they can enter school. As a rule most mothers and fathers have this work done by the family doctor but due to the depression an extra call upon the resources of the health department is anticipated.
