The Railway Strike Has been Settled, and Premier . Baldwin Has Prepared Pro- posals for a Settlement of the Coal Dis- pute — London Underground Railways Resume Pro-Strike Service Today — Newspapers Ma king Their Appear- ance Again - Other Settlements Eif- fected.

(Canadian Press)

LONDON, May 14.--The British Industrial crlals began to clear raplldiy today. The ralilliraymen, who had .emalned out notwithstanding official termination of the general strike, signed an agreement with the companies. Traffic will be resumed as speedily as possible.

posals for a settlement of the ooai miners strike and that these would be placed limmedlately in the hands of the men and the employers.

Congress said there was a marked easy feellng_ln the tensenesa of the

ground and affiliated tram and bus lines will shortly resume normal service.

pic to be followed in reinstatement is seniority in each grade. The trades unions admit in calling the strike they committed a wrongful art against the, companies, and if. is agreed that the companies do not by reinstatement of the men sur- render their legal rights to claims for damages arising from the stike or from the strikers or others responsible.

The unions undertake again to instruct their members not to strike without previous negotia- tions with the companies and not to encourage the supervisory em- iployees to participate in strikes. The unions agree to give no sup- port of ‘any ‘kind to their memlbers who undertake unauthorized ac- tion.

The railway companies intimate that because of the strike, it may be necessary to remove certain positions to other positions. The statement does not extend to por- sons who have been guilty of vio- lcnce, or intimidation.

boy,” Capably Pre- sented by Kelly’s Cross Dramatic Club

Charlottetown theatre goers have been entertained this season with a more than ordinary number of amateur dramatic performances and last but not least on the list is “An Arizona Cowboy", which was presented to a bumper audi- ence in the Prince Edward last night by the Kellys Cross Drama- tic Club. and staged under the aus- pices of the Catholic Women's League.

if tho applause of the audience was any criterion of the play there was nothing lacking in “An Arizona Cowboy" for the handclapplng that rewarded the efforts of the performers was most generous in measure. and no opportunity was lost to show appreciation of a particular- ly good piece of acting. Not only was the acting in the drama espec- ially good for amateur and practi-

high class entertainment, and fid- dlcre and step dancers were heard and see-n who would have given a good account of themselves at the rece-nt fiddling and dancing con- tests.

As the story of "An Arizona Cowboy" contains very little of amy kind of plot the play depends a good deal for its interest on the acting or the cast. and this in lt- self says quite sufficient for the histrionic ability-oi the actors who go to make up the Kelly's Cross Dramatic ‘Club, for not for a min- ute did the action of the perform- ance lag or lose interest.

The title role of the play was very capably filled by Joseph Kelly, as the Cowboy Sheriff, who is responsible for the maintenance ot law and order in the Western town of Purple Dog, and who in- cidcntly is in love with Marguerite Moore. a pretty ranch owner, played very cleverly and convinc- ingly by lMiss Helena Moiuaghan. Leslie Trainer. as the somewhat ir- responsible and reckless partner of the sheriff, was also very clever and realistic in his acting. The ‘villains of the piece were played by Frank J. Flood amd Emmett German, who both gave good (or rther, bed) accounts of themselves Both characters were well sustain- ed and quite true to life. Particu- larly good pieces of characteriz- ation work fail to the credit of Mrs. Joseph Creamer, as the Indian maiden, and Bennett Train- Ol‘. as the comical Chinese cook. Mrs. Creamer. who had a quite difficult role to play. rendered it to such fine effect, that on more than one occasion she won the spontaneous and uustlnted ap- Dlause of her entire audience. The supporting parts, Hezekiah Bus: (whose name should have been Aussies). by Oswald Kelly; lBig Elk, the Navajo chief, by Frank Roach; Mrs Petunia ’Bugg. by Mrs. Joseph Kelly; (kiralle Biflokflilefl-r. by Mrs John Nantes. a Young-nu by Miss Margaret Monaghau. were all equally well played, and contributed not a lit-
