A VAUDEVILLE CASE PROTECTION SOUGHT HEARD IN POLICE: COURT ox! FRIDAY MORNING. Performers harge Manager of Grif.' fin Theatre With Non-Payment-- Manager-Says There Was No Con- | tract. The vaudeville performers book- ed for the Griffin theatre for the last three days of this week, were in the police court on Friday: morn- ing, when Michael J. Whitty, manag- er of the house was summoned by the two "artists" for refusing = to pay the sum of $23.25 which they claimed as, wages. ' The case which was very com- plicated required about ome hour and a half to hear the evidence, af- ter which the case was enlarged un- ti! 'Monday morning. Harvey Thomas, the complainant, claimed that he and his wife were engaged to put on an act at the local theatre for three days, for which he was to be paid $25 minus a commission which is sent to the booking agency. He told of arriving at the theatre on Thursday, afternoon and having a rehearsal and putting on one per- formance at about 4.30 a'clock. He stated that Manager Whitty told him that he could not use -the act after he and his wife had put on the one performance and was told to get out of the theatre. Thomas slated that he had no signed con- tract, but had .a telephone message with the manager of the theatre and was told to come to the city and put on the performance. Manager Whitty, ted that he had told Thomas that his act was closed, as it was not first-class. When cross-examined, witness stated that he had two lots of actors on hand, due to some mis- | take at the booking agency in To- ronto. The second lot of actors are performing at the present time Mrs. Thomas when called cor- roborated the statements of her husband. As the contract which was drawn up by the booking agency, order-! inz this couple to come to Kingston, was not on hand it was decided to 'nlarge the case until Monday morn- ing. As all the evidence was taken wm Friday morning, the two ti ' were allowed to leave COLONEL V. A. 8.

Organized Labor 'Asks Government To Take Measures to Prevent Un- employed From Losing Their i Homes, Ottawa, Aug 21 ~--"What about the common people ¥'" is a leading ques- tion in an appeal sent by the Domin- ion Trades and Labor Congress to ev- ery member of parliament, issued last night. Appeal is, made for due com- sideration to the workers of Canada in whatever legislation will be enacted al the present session of parliament Ww hereby they are likely to be affected. "The maximum of protection Is giv- en the great financial interests," states the open communication, which is addressed to Premier Borden and members oi the Dominion cabinet, and reads further : 'You have made legal tender the circulation of the banks; legisla- ton is proposed to extend the credit of *» banks enormously. You are to suspend the redemption .-of ninion notes for gold.' "A great many -of the workers never earned enough to' obtain a chance to purchase a home." Many by struggles they themselves could tell the best, have pun "haved homes by a deposit of cash apd assumption of mortgages. their only means of revenue is the selling of their labor power. They pay interest and principal out of the wages they earn. Now big industries are shutting down, adding to 4 fearful unemployed problem existing. Failure of the workers to be able to sell their labor means they will be upable to meet the payments on mortgages. The less of the nome is inevitable if the i great financial institutions and others ake advantage of legal rights "Inasmuch as the government is pro- tecting the great interests to an enor- mous extent, we desire that the pro- the government shall also to the common people whose interests are as dear to them as the interests of great corporations to the shareholders, ailord that protection now to the com- { mon people at this session." cb iimiin Great Revenue From Fisheries to note tection of be extended { The Prince Rupert fisheries are de- { . : | veloping very rapidly and during the "| month of July the flest gathered in a catch valued at $400,535.

There was also an ever increasing production 'of fruits and vegetables in the district around Prince Rupert. Fhese have been of exceptionally good vyoality. Fruits ripened earlier than usual this season, bringing them into close competition with produce grown farther south. One grower, H. D. Lenhart, at Mile 87, on the Grand Trunk Pacific railway, along the Skeena river, has received $700 for the strawberries grown on one and one-half acres of land, while much of his crop still re- mains to be picked. | most, Hard To Get News. | Toronto, Aug. 21.--News about the | actual fighting in Belgium has prac- | tically ceased to come over the wires | to-day This is in part explained by the fact that .telegraphic communi | cation with all Belgian points except Antwerp is cut ofi.
