LOW THE NAVAL MEN. | Sir Eric Geddes Is Only Protecting | the Men Who Man the Pumps--- | Conferences Being Held Which May Help the Situation (Canadian Press Despatch) ! London, July 23.--The most hope-| ful feature of the coal strike situa-| tion is the decision of the Weleh | miners, at a conference at Cardiff, | not to join the Yorkshire movement. | There was no great accession of| strength to the strike movement to- ~day. The men on strike total about 275,000, Yorkshire, Derbyshire, Not- tingham and Monmouth being among the counties mainly affected. Sir Eric Geddes, minister without portfolio, who, on Monday, was ap- pointed a commissioner to settle the strike, is at Leeds and, according to government statements, will confine himself to affording protection to men willing to work at the pumps and will not interfere in any way with the actual strike 'movement. The strikers, however, appear to be in a rather bad mood and seem to think that the troops will follow the naval men in an attempt to break the strike. The conference of the Triple All- ance, which will be held at Westmin- ster to-morrow, may have an in- fluence on the situation. The canfer- ence will be followed hy a meeting of the executive of the Miners' Feder- ation at which the situation will be discussed. ' Brought About Chaos. (Canadian Press Despatch.)

Hearing her sweetheart's cries, Miss Fisher rushed to his rescue and tried to drive away fhe bull. At ed" astride the bull's neck, and scared, it dashed away. The brave girl managed to slip to the ground unhurt and helped her injured lover from the field. eee pint "FAVORITE SONS" Will Be Named hy the Various Pro- vinces.
