Re§uest To Keep Working,
ederal Move Attacked
ATLAll'i'IO CITY. July 10.-hepresentetives of the enthreoite
miners in conference here yesterdsy rejected the suggestion of coel
operators thet they egree to keep mines working even though a. new
stage egreement feils to replace the one expiring August
31.
They turned the proffer down on the ground that to agree
would be to throw sway their only weepou.
, Doubt was expressed that the ope—
r'ators would be ready for a‘day or
two to reply to the eleven demands of
the United Mine Workers regarding
recognltoin of the union and en in—
crease of to per cent. in wages in ad-
dition to charges in present working
conditions.
Failure lmpcnih.
With this complication arising. the
situation so far as the conference is
concerned. took on added aspects of
probable failure.
Two factors are working to post-
pone action on the conflicting parties
getting together.
The first and probably, the more
important is the United States Coal
Commission's ultimatum. that unless
the conference reach an agreement by
August. 1. the Commission will littor-
ycne in the proceedings to force an
agreement.
Mentions l‘rcsindcnt.
, The other distmbing element. is a
story contained in George H. Cush-
lng's "Survey and Service" of July 5.
This declared that the original recom-
mendations. .ls drafted by the Federal
Coal Commission. “ere edited by At-
torney General Daugherty.
Thomas Kennedy. pres‘dcut of Die-
.‘trlct No. 7. of the limicd Mine Work-
ers. declared in z. rputuh. that the
Cushiug report. it into, "comtltulets a

. "THE \VHITE FLO‘VER"
New Betty CompeOn Production Con-
cludes Run at Regent and
Palace Today
"The White Flower" one of the
finest pictures released by paramount
tor the 19:38 season opened a. two-days
run at the Regent and Palace Theatres
yesterday and delighted large nudi-
cnccs. The beauty of thc.produciion
was one of the striking features and it
was at once apparent to the initiated
theatre-goer that this release stands
for and above the ordinary program
picture in every detail. Iictty Comp-
son. who has long been recognised as
a first rank star admirably acquitted
herself in the leading role while the
supporting cast of well-known players
aided in turning out a vehicle which
Manager lieu-iii Esterson of the lie-
gcnt and Palace may well feel proud
to have had in his housvs. Spit-Adm
short suhjccta completed the program.
The fcniure concludes its run here
today.
JANE NOVAK AT RIAIXI‘O TODAY
“A little pnlo rose with a crimson
heart." -
That was Marie Corelll‘s descrip-
tion of her heroine in ”Thelma." her
classic romance of the Norscland and
in Chester Bennett's ecrccn vcrsiOn
of the famous tale June Novak. as
the star. is the. perfect embodiment
of'tho character known to millions of
readers throughout the World.
As romance in the basis of happi-
ness romance is by all odds the most
popular species of entertainmrnt to-
day and the spectacular and charm-
ing picturization of “Thelma" at the
itiullo theatre where it is being shown
far on engagement of 3 days starting
today.
"Thelma" is a triumph for Jane
Novak. It is a triumph too. for Chee-
ter Bennett. the producer. For the
many admirers of Miss Novak it will
be welcome new: that she appears in
brilliant gowns fashioned by the
greatest mediates of this country and
Europe. Then. by the way of com
trust. she is shown in the sweet
simplicity of her Norseland surround-
ings. wearing the plain native frock
of her homeland. The scene. in
which she captivates London society
as the wife of Sir 'Phllip Errington
are in themselves exhibitions of bril-
liance and charm of matchless pro-
portions.
Then. too. there is drama. clean~
cut and forceful. Situagons of extra-
ordinary power are .cquent. The
love interest the emotional conflict
that storms in Theims's mind when
she has to make her choice between
Britain and the land of her nativity
are dramatic elements of tremendous
force and appesl. ,
Friday and Saturday. Harry Carey
Will be. presented in his latest pro-
duction. “Desert Driven.".adepted
from Wyndham Martyn's widely read
story. "The Men from the Desert."
The management of the Rislto
wishes to announce thet the first iif~
ty women attending the Friday mat-
inee will be presented with s. photo-
play version of Bertha M. Clay's fa-
mous novel. "Thorns and Orange
Blossoms." The photoplay. "Thorns
