LABOR MEN CALL MASS MEETING IN COYLE CASE City Administration Scored by Central Council at Public Meeting. A mass meeting has been called by Central Labor Council for Monday night, Sept 22. probably In the high

school, to discuss the dismissal of John Coyle, captain of fire company No. 3. This action followed a public meeting held Thursday night. The mayor and the city administration were scored. Impeachment was tuggested by speakers, but no action was taken. ! Lucius Harrison, recording secretary of Central Labor Council, said: "This is a test case. If this keeps up there will not be a union fireman on the force within a year. Of course they cannot 'fire' them all outright, but by a process of weeding them out they will not have a union member on the firf fighting force. Must Show Strength. "If the unions in this city let this problem pass up the charters given to them, will not be worth the paper they are written on. Now Js the time for organized labor to Bhow its strength." A publicity committee was appointed, which drew up a handbill. Five thousand of these notices will be distributed before Monday night, asking the presence of "all the tax-payers and citizens who believe In justice and liberty." Another committee, composed of twelve members, was appointed, whose duty It will be to call on all the merchants In the city, and determine what their 6tand is on the question, and also to extend , to them a personal Invitation to attend. Harrison scored the action of the board of works and the city mayor in regard to their "meddling" in the gas Increase question, eaying that they were "usurping power, because according to law, a matter involving a public utility, should remain in the hand3 of the city council." Vote For Man. "To safeguard our Interests," he Bald, "when election time comes around again we should vote for the

man, Irrespective of party. It is time that the union men and the other good citizens of the city tako the 'bull by the horns' and throw the autocrats out of the city office. Harrison also said the mayor, through pressure, had caused a number of city firemen, solely because of political reasons, to resign from the force. He cited Jack Coyle as an example of the man who etood hi3 own ground, and then was fired because he was an "agitator."

Old Dame Fashion Moves From Paris to New York NEW YORK, Sept. 19. Old Dame Fashion, Paris, has packed her trunks and moved bag and baggage to Filth avenue. This changeable .old belle, whose ephemereal whims only the artistry and eternal chic of the French capital could satisfy since the days of the early Bourbons, has deserted her boulevards and taken bourgeoise old New York long despised to her bosom. For today French buyers, representing the most famous fashion malsons of giddy old Paris, arrived in NewYork to see the new styles, and more to the point, to buy "le dernier cri in evening gowns, opera cloaks, lilmy lingerie, striking hats, and the other things that make up miladys toilette. And they are buying heavily, these famous costumers and arbiters of

ENGLISH GIRLS ARE STRONG FOR YANKS

(Kansas City Star) LONDON, Sept. 10. Those French mademoiselles may say what they like about Americans as hubbies, but English girls will keep right on marrying Yanks as long as there are Yanks to marry. ,SVhen a bevy of disappointed and divorced French brides brought their tarnished illusions back to Paris after a 6hort sojourn with their - American husbands in America, I went out to find out from "headquarters" whether English young women were taking this as a tip on matrimonial prospects. Saw Yankee Strategy. A barmaid was the first girl I questioned. "Propaganda," she snapped, swabbing the women's bar with a soggy cloth. "Ye3," I think it's probably

propaganda, started by the American girls to protect their own interests. They don't want their boys to marry French girls." Then I hunted up a pretty little hotel clerk. " Do you think English girls will hesitate to marry American boys now that those French divorcees have said things about them?" I asked. " Not for a minute," said the blonde. "It would not deter me, if I loved him. Anyway, I think the French girls expect too much from a husband. That la why they are bo easily disapointed. The Anglo-Saxon man is not as demonstrative in his affection as the Latins are and the French girl3 like 'em

i demonstrative."

She Would Take a Chance. Now, listen to a young newspaper

Sergeant Told Prince

Where to Get Off

(Christian Science Monitor) I A story is told of the Prince of Wales illustrative of the kind of thing which i

made him popular with all ranks of the British Army in France. He happend one day, when staff-captain, to wander into a Canadian battery position, and was not recognized by the gunners. The number and the shrewdness of the questions which the unknown young officer put to them made the men suspicious. At last a sergeant stepped up to him and told him quite plainly that he was unknown to them, that their regulations did not allow them to impart the information for which he asked, but that doubtless he would get his questions answered if he applied to the battery's officer. The Prince did as he was bid and, walking up to a group of officers a little distance away, told them of the sergeant's rebuff. He was much
