SETTLED

NO ELECTRICIANS' STRIKE.

RESUMPTION OF WORE.

LONDON, September 16.

As a result of the recommendation of the Council of Inquiry the electricians' dispute has been settled. Representatives of the employers and trades unious meeting this afternoon decided that work should be resumed as soon as possible.

DOLEFUL EARLIER CABLE.

LONDON, September 15.- There are only three more days in which to find a solution for the | electricians' dispute with a view of securing the withdrawal of the strike notices for September 18 which threaten, London's lighting, tubes, and tràms, Yesterday's first sitting of the courts of inquiry yielded little hope of an amicable settlement. Meanwhile, a conference of London's local authorities has been convened for September 16 for the purpose of discussing the possibility of averting the disruption of the public services,

-

Yesterday the Manchester electricians gave notice of a strike on Sept. 21 which will cause a stoppage of trams, electric trains, and many big industries. Most of the large towns throughout the country are expected to follow Manchester's example.

COAL STRIKE APATHY.

LONDON, September 15. Mr. Henderson, Secretary of the Labour Party, as regards the cos! crisis, stated that he was confident that peace was still possible. Meanwhile official figures from South Wales, which is usually regarded as an extremist centre, show that less than 50,per cent. of the miners have tendered strike notices. In some districts the apathy for a strike is most pronounced.

FORTHCOMING CONFERENCE.

LONDON, September 15.

At the conclusion of the meeting of the Miners' Executive this evening, Mr. Hodges, the Secretary, announced that a full coal miners' delegate conference would be held in London on September 21 and that the Executive Council would Interview Sir Robert Horse on September 16.

A DEFINITE PEACE MOVE.

LONDON, September 16. >The miners' invitation to Sir Robert Horne to meet the Miners' Executive to-day, which met with a prompt response, is regarded as a definite peace move, as the purpose of a further interview must be a desire to make another attempt to find a basis for settlement. Although the path to a compromise satisfying both sides is strewn with difficulties, fresh hope lies in the belief that the miners are shifting their posity as regards the indivisibility of the two claims. In this connection it noteworthy that Mr. Smillie in a full statement of the miners' case for the first time placed the wages claim in the foreground. There are only ten days before the strike is operative and according to the rules of the Federation a fresh ballot is necessary to nullify the decision for a strike, although the Miners' Executive can postpone the strike notices.

KINEMA NOTES.

CORONET THEATRE.

THE NEXT BIG PICTURE..

Fighting Cressy," which comes to the Coronet on Sunday night fos a run of four days, is a picturisation of Bret Harte's famous story" Cressy." Blanche Sweet, whom Hongkong kinema-goers will remember as the bervine of The Escape." is starred in the title role of a spirited daughter of a fighting Kentuckian who has settled in the West.

Bret Harte stands supreme as the best story-teller of the West that ever lived. The picturising of his stories has done a great deal for the movies, for he has brought the present into intimate contact with a people who have passed, but who will never fade from memory people who lived and loved and fought in the days when that wondrous land of California..was young. The outdoor scenes with which the picture abounds were photo- graphed in a beautiful canyon near Sacramento where the necessary set- fings were erected to give the picture the atmosphere that Bret Harte has imbued his story with.
