Opera- tors were in secret conference at the Ritz Carlton hotel today, it was de-| clared, while across the street at the Bellevue-Stratford John L.

Texarkana, Ark., Aug. 31.—Seven bridges on the St. Louis Southwestern | (Cotton Belt) railway between Tex-| arkana, and Stamps, Ark, were burned: last night. ——— 128 PALAC Ed Starting Next Sunday RUDOLPgH VALENTINO Gloria Swanson in “BEYOND THE ROCKS” -|PREDICTS END OF STRIKE THIS WEEK Goal Dealer Finds Pennsylvania Merchants Suffer From Walkont The strike in the anthracite coal flelds will be over by the gnd of this week, according.to the general feel- ing. throughout that section of Penn- sylvania, as observed by Nathan Ber- son, of the Berson Coal company, who has just returned from a tour of the coal flelds. Mr. Berson made an ex- haustive trip through the entire an- thracite region, starting at Scranton, which {s the metropolis of the upper anthracite coal flelds, and going through the citles of Wilkes-Barre, Hazleton, and down to Pottsville in the lower flejJds and thence on through Tamaqua, Mahoney City, Ashland and Mount Carmel, to Bha- mokin and Paxinos, the extreme western end of the anthracite fields. In all the cities named he found the miners tired of the strike. There was discontent everywhere, The working people are “broke.” Their savings are gone., Merchants are car- rylng thousands of dollars worth of credit on their books. Hundreds of business places are in such flnancial straits that they face bankruptey the coal man said. One coal operator stated ;that he was carrying a weekly payroll of $18,- 000 and had not produced a pound of coal since April. In corroboration of this condition, Mr, Berson shows a clipping from the Hazleton (Pennsylvania) Plain-Speak- er, written by Edward J. Hunter, for- merly city editor of the Philadelphia Public Ledger and now a feature writer on the North American, who made a tour of the reglons to investi- gate. Mr. Hunter says in part: “Everybody in this center of the an- thracite region is absolutely sick of the coal strike. Everywhere the de- mand is for an immediate ending of the selfish struggle, which has been in progress for five months; The miner {8 certain that he has the operators at his fnercy and that peace on his terms is bound to come. But he is exhausted financially and his credit is sadly attenuated. So he is anxious that there shall be as little quibbling as possible. He wants to g0 back to the mines and feel again the sensation of drawing down a month's pay. Representatives of the operators here see an empty market, simply waiting for the inrushing coal cars, and with no one anxlous to debate price. They are anxious to have a | peace that will preclude cessations of operations for a long period to come, and they want to tie the miner up so| he won't find it easy to strike again without coming in conflict with pub- Hic sentiment. But they, too, are equally anxious that the settlement ghall be reached without unnecessary debate.” He writes that the business men are hard pressed for cash and want to see the collieries resume. Mr. Hunter hints that sbme of the anthracite miners are (criticlsing President Lewis for alleged delay in settling the hard coal suspension, claiming that he used the situation in one field to get the advantage of the operators in the other.

ROTARIANS TO0 ATTEND CONCLAVE New England Event Will Be Staged in New London Beveral members of the New Brit- ain Rotary club are planning to at- tend the fall. conclave of New Eng- land Rotary clubs to be held at New London on September 11, 12 and 18, according to an announcement made at the luncheon of the local club held at the Shuttle Meadow club this noon by President Leon Sprague. President Sprague made an urgent appeal that as many more members as possible hand In their names to the secretary as being willing to attend the conclave at which Rotarians will be present from Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Massachu- setts and Connecticut. The New London officlals report that over 1,500 Rotarlans have signified their inten- tions of being present. Don Adams, ‘governor of the 30th district of Rotary clubs, dellvered an interesting address to the members of the local club this noon on Rotary principles. In his talk, Mr. Adams said that the Rotary club was an organized expres- sion of men to make the world a bet- ter place for people to live in and sald that he believed Sir Harry Lauder, when the latter sald that Rotary was an emblem was for God, home, work and friendly neighbors over the gar- den wall, He also sald that the Rotary club is not an organization which was founded for the purpose of reforming the world but' it is one of the many associations to help do that sort of work, The speaker added that the members of the club should be taught to look upon their business and professions as serving their fel- low men rather than as a money making scheme. In closing his address, Mr. Adams said that Rotarians should practice what they preach and in outside life, in private affairs they should do things only as they would do them in Rotary with the real Rotary spirit. He sald that the outside world judges the International Rotary organization by the way each member conducts himself.
