HOLLYWOOD, Cal, July lion
thousand notion picture worker
went on strike last week at the CO
lumbia Studios, which had refused t
accede to the demands of some 40
sound men for wage increase an
better working conditions. The 80
additional workers, composed Of cam
era men, stage hands and other tech
nicians, walked out in sympathy wit
the striking sound-men.
The walk-out ties up the productiol
of a number of pictures alread

many, and has refused to date {

United Mine Workers, with no oppo-
sition whatsoever from the operators.
What was the agreement they had
entered into with Lewis In Baruch's
home? Did the leading industrial
magnates promise to accept the
United Mine Workers as a company
union in return for Lewis's promise
to prevent strikes and not to de-
mand anything more than a mini
mum rate for the miners, to be estab-
nshed by the N. I. r. A.?
To the mine workers Lewis and his
representatives stated that everyone
was welcome in the union for the
present without any initiation fee.
Later there might be charges again,
but all that was now needed was to
sign q pledge card, reading in part:
II further pledge myself that when
I am admitted to membership that
I will abide by the laws and policies
of that organization. Signing up the
miners with these pledge cards with
out payment of dues, the U. M. W..
officials in each district went about
making extravagant promises that
the Jacksonville scale of $3.50 day
would be restored within few
weeks. The code as finally offered
fixes "a and IS day rate for
Northern miners and per cent less
in the Southern fields.
Over the radio In some of the
mining districts, U. M. w. officials
are said to have threatened the
miners If they attempted to strike.
They would be fined by the union
and would be dealt with by the gov
eminent In Utah, a leaflet headed
The New Deal' and signed by Nick
Fontachio, a former international
representative of the U. M. W., prom
ised a non-strike policy, as follows:
you can rest assured there will be
no strikes nor turrnoils In our work.
The miners are asked TO Join our
Union and to remain at work until
Joint contract Is contaminated"
Certain large coal companies, how
ever, have indicated a preference for
their own individual kind of a COM
pany union and have already estab-
Hshed employee representation"
schemes with dummy agents acting
under company direction. Among
these companies are the Pittsburgh
Coal Co., the Bethlehem Mines Corp,
the H. G. Prick Coke Co. and the
U. s. Coal and Coke Co.
That thousands Of miners are not
accepting either the United Mine
Workers or local company unions will
be seen in the record Of recent
strikes.

and Queen Isabella had only two baths in
her lfe-one when she was born and the
other when she married! Voltaire called the
Middle Ages "a thousand years without
BATH"
This earnest dislike for bathing IS rather
incomprehensible when one remembers the
historic Roman baths! However the depth OF
religious feeling in early America may have
been responsible for it.
Millard Fillmore was q broad-minded far
seeing man. Disregarding the furor aroused
by his action, he had q bathtub installed In
the White House. Newspapers decried 1t as
"monarchial luxury" But the strong minded
President was not to be swerved from his pur-
pose and q bathtub was installed which was
sufficiently long to float any man." In fact.

City Escapes
 Storm Damage
State Hard Hit By Lightning and Rain-Trees Hit By
 Bolts Here

Lightning struck in two places in Waterbury yesterday afternoon during. the electrical storm that held the city within it's grip for some time. Generally speaking, though. Waterbury escaped lightly while surrounding towns were hard hit. The lightning struck 2 tree on Euclid avenue and an oil circuit at the Bunker Hill power station. Minor damages resulted in both cases. The Euclid avenue tree was splintered and the lightning striking of the oil circuit inter- rupted local electric service for about a minute.
 During the storm a huge limb of tree bordering Library park fell, It landed on @ car owned by Kenneth Tullar of Oakville. which was parked on Grand street, and smashed in the hood of the vehicle. Fortunately no pedestri- ans or autoists were in the. path of the limb. The branch did not fall because of being struck by lightning, however. According to E. R. Bushnell of S6 Waterville street, an expert on tree surgery, who was seated in an auto with his wife not far distant, said the falling was caused by elm rot.
 In Lakewood hail stones fell. They were quite large. They also fell in other parts of the state, damaging farms considerably. Twenty-two windows on the north side of Lakeside tavern in Wolcott were shattered. A car near Hitch cocks lake had it's top perforated by the hail stones.
 'The precipitation was light in

Waterbury compared to other parts of the state. Lightning struck throughout the state. Churches and barns were among the objects struck and damaged.
 Following the storm crews from the power company worked to re- pair damage in the Waterbury district. The damage to the oil circuit at the Bunker Hill station was quickly repaired. Slight in- were reported along the Country club road and along West ering transformers.
 In the Prospect district, also. transformers were put out of com mission by the lightning and con- siderable trouble was experienced. Watertown reported no power trouble.
 According to official of the tele- phone company service interrup- tions were very slight. The lines of the company withstood the storm excellently, it was stated
 Tn Naugatuck lightning played havoc. It struck a barn on Maple Hill road owned by Alex Smolinski The barn caught fire and was de. stroyed. A new crop of hay IT the structure was lost.
 Another bolt of lightning tore through the roof of the storehouse of the U. s. Rubber company on Rubber avenue. It went through three floors. Nobody was hurt but goods stored in the building were considerably damaged. The top was taken off a smokestack in the rear of the storehouse by light ming, also.

AMERICANS ARE
 ALL RELEASED
 BY MALLORCANS
Incident That Almost Caused International
 Trouble Has Been ClOs- ed for Present at Least
BY IAN FRASER

United Press Stan COrrespOndent)
 Palma, Mallorca, July 21.-(UP) An early end of a case that was assuming proportions of serious international incident was fore- seen to-day after Francisco Vidal, chief Judge of the military court. ordered the release in bail of the last of five Americans held for 46 days without trial on the charge of striking a member of the crack Guardia Civil.
 The Americans still faced the prospect of a military trial, their Because of Mallorcans restment against Americans, it was expected they would be given prison sen- tences. However, 1t was indt- cated the sentences would exactly match the time that they spent in jail awaiting trial, so that they would be given immediate uncon- ditional freedom.
 Mrs Clinton B. Lockwood. Springfield, Mass, and Rutherford Fullerton, Columbus, Ohio, were released in bail yesterday-Mrs Lockwood because she was wo- man, Fullerton because he was held only as witness.
 Late last night Vidal ordered the release of the remaining Ameri- caris--Mrs Lockwoods' husband, Roderick F. Mead, New York, ana Edmund w. Blodgett, Stamford, Conn.
 I. Dawson, sent here to tntercede for the Americans, and Luis Ra- nallo, their lawyers, obtained the reduction of bail, and they were freed.
 Mrs Lockwood was nervous and eager to leave the island. Fuller ton said he would like to remain here. Mead spoke well Of the treatment given them.
 We were as free as any prison- CTS could be-" he told the United Press to-day. "Our jailors were most polite, and saluted us when they approached. Our beds con- sisted of boards mounted on iron, with thin straw mattresses. we were not allowed to play cards: We are well but we have not had enough exercise"
 He ordered that passports of the Americans were to be impounoeo and that they should report 10 him every three days.
 American Ambassador Ciauee Bowers. sent Consul General Claude I. Dawson here from Barcelona. The prisoners were ordered re- leased soon after his arrival.
 Mrs Lockwood went from the jail to her villa.
 T started to cry when I found I was being released" she said. T only heard would be released a little before noon when Do- lores, my janitoress, told me. did not believe 1t at first. But others came and said the same thing.

pected that Connecticut's bank will be opened very shortly.
 Either Hartford or New Haven will be selected as the city where the bank will be located. Some time ago Mir Kennedy was reported as being the strongest candidate but later the name Of James Law Tor of Bridgeport, strong demo- cratic leader of the Park City, was mentioned.
 It is understood that MT Ken- nedy has been recommended for the position by U. S. Senator Augustine Lonergan. Furthermore, 1t is understood he has the sup port of the directors of the Region Home Loan bank at Cambridge, Mass. MT Kennedy has been con- nected with the regional bank in Cambridge for some time past.
 Yesterday it was definitely an- nounced in Hartford that Albert Levitt of Bedding, we'll known enemy of the Connecticut Light and Power company and J.
