DIAMOND GINGER.-ALE LEGION POPPY WEEK REPORT ‘How Funds From Sale Were Used I Explained The following self-explanatory res- olution was adopted by the executive committee of the Eddy-Glover post, American Legion, last night: Whereas, The publit of the City of New Britain supported the Poppy ‘Week, even beyond the hopes of the members of the American Legion and its Auxillary, and showed, by this support their continued respect for the deceased soldiers, sailors and marine of the great war, therefore Be It Resolved, By the executive committee of the Eddy-Glover post, American Legion, that a report of the expenditures be printed in order that our friends be acquainted with the disposition of the money involved. Text of Report. The report follows: The poppy committee of the Eddy- Glover post, American Legion, has submitted their final report on the sale of poppies during the week of May 22-29th inclusive. A total number of 5,728 poppies were sold from which the total re- ceipts amounted to $630.18. After de- ducting the cost of the poppies and incidental expenses of carrying on the sale the net proceeds turned over to the post amounted to $425.20. Following the vote of the executive committee last evening the expense of providing wreaths for the graves of all deceased veterans of the World War and including a large wreath placed on the Court of Honor will be paid out of this fund. $184 was ex- pended for this purpose .including an additional $5 contributed to the Na- tional American Legion fund for the decoration of American graves in France. It was also voted to place perma- nent American Legion markers on the graves of all men who died during their World War service, whose fam- ilies or relatives wish this form of recognition, Further details of this action will be found eélsewhere in this issue. The expense of this work will also be taken care of by the poppy fund, ) LOUIS FLEISCHER, FRED Jj. C. ENSWORTH.

Meriden, June 7.—At the meeting of the Rotary club at the Winthrop hotel yesterday noon, the members went on record as being very much disappointed with the action of the city officials in refusing the appropria- tion for the conduct of the summer playgrounds. The resolution was in- troduced by Henry C. Bibeau, chair- man of the committee on public af- fairs, himself a member of the board of apportionment and taxation, which refused the appropriation. However, in spite of the fact that the city made no provision for the conduct of these summer playgrounds, the children of the city will have their playgrounds provided through the efforts of the club, for it was de- cided to raise the money needed. Plans for securing the necessary amount will be completed shortly, and as the purpose for which the money is wanted meets with. gener- al approval, it is not expected there will be any great difficulty in raising the $1,000, which the city refused to provide. The summer playgrounds are oper- ated during the long summer vacation in several of the school yards. They open ordinarily just after July 4, and continue for two months. The mem- bers of the club believe there s ample time to secure the money and make all necessary arrangements for the conduct of the playgrounds.

LAFOLLETTE OPPOSES DECISION (Continued from First Page), based that finding, Senator La Fol. lette charged that “Chief Justice Taft neglected to state that as the result ot the Taft-Valece case the Brjtish parliament passed a statute which cut up that decision, root and branch, and made it impossible for an English court to ever render a similar de- cision.” “No doubt our supreme court of the United BStates is secure behind the bulwark of a wrtten constitu- tion, the meaning of which that court has abrogated:to itself the function of finally determining,” the senator concluded, EFFORTS TO SETTLE COAL STRIKE FAIL Endeavors of Hoover and Davis to This End Have Been Un. successful Thus Far Washington, June 7.—Secretary Hoover in a report to the senate today disclosed that he and Secretary Davis had sought recently to present sug- gestions which it had been hoped would lead to a’ settlement of the ex- isting coal strike but so far their efforts had been without result, The commerce secretary's state- ment, which was the first disclosure that the government had sought to intervene in the struggle between the United Mine Workers and operators of unionfields was contained in a re- sponse to the resolution by Senator Walsh, democrat, Massachusetts, adopted by the senate several days ago calling for information regarding the coal situation. Replying to the {nquiry in the Walsh resolution as to “what action, if any, government agencies have taken to terminate the strike,” Mr. Hoover said: “The governmental agencies have no legal authority to terminate or to intervene in the strike. Quite infor- mally and repeatedly suggestions as to propositions on which the dis- putants might well confer and hopes for settlement have been made through the d&partment of labor and this department, or both, but thus far the suggestions have been without result.” CELEBRATES HIS CENTENARY Garton Splits the Household Wood and Has No Use for Daylight Saving Bridgeton,*N.

H., Police Chief Makes Agreement With Union Leaders $o Prevent Hostilities. Manchester, N. H., June 7.—Strike leaders today took over the duty of preserving order in the cotton mills strike, by agreement with Chief of Police M. “J. Healy. When the gates of the Amoskeag Manufacturing company's Coolidge mill opened a crowd estimated at 1,000 was walking the streets with Vice-President James Starr of United Textile Workers of America, and Or- ganizer Horace Riviere personally keeping the strikers and sympathizers moving. Patrolmen were in the of- fing. There was some shouting. Orders banning the strikers from certain streets near the mills were lifted under the new conditions. These police rulings had caused the :trike ers to petition for the removal of Chief Healy, and had caused the police last night to arrest five men |for violations. ¢ Disorders followed these arrests and when four strike leaders including Riviere went to Chief Healy they/ were arrested, although without fore mal charges. The situation in other strike cen- ters in the state where the mills, like the Coolidge plant, reopened Monday after a 16 week shut down was re- ported unchanged. These mills are under the increased hours and reduc- ed wage schedules that caused the strike.
