LABOR’S TRIPLE
ALLIANCE IS
STRONG BODY
LONDON, March 5 (Correspondence
of the Associated Press).—Labor’s
Triple Alliance, which just now is de
manding much from the employers of
England in- the way of shorter hours,
higher wages, and living conditions
such as never before were dreamed
of by British workmen, numbers ap
proximately 1,500,000 men with auxil
iary forces of some hundreds of thou
sands more. Its demands have been
taken very seriously by the govern
ment.
The Triple Alliance, which is re
garded as one of the most powerful
labor bodies in the world, is made up
of the Minors’ Federation of Great
Britain with 800,000 members, the Na
tional Union of Railway Men with
450,000, and the Transport Workers’
Federation with 250,000. Outside it
but dependent upon its action, because
a strike of the Triple Alliance means
unemployment for them, are the Na
tional Council of Colliery Workers,
Locomotive Engineers and Firemen,
the Railway Clerks’ Association, and
a number of others.
The machinery of the Alliance is
simple. There is a small consultative
committee made up of the chairman
and secretary of each of the three or
ganizations, while the three executives
meet at least twice a year. Each body
retains complete freedom to take
action on its own behalf, joint action
being confined to questions of national
importance and questions of principle.
Before a matter can be considered by
joint action it must be fully approved
by the executive of the body which
raises it. The approval of at least two
of the organizations must be obtained
before any joint action can be taken.
To the present the Alliance has not
been called upon to test its power
to the point of drastic action, but it
has been far from idle. In 1916 it laid
before Mr. Asquith, then premier, a
reconstruction program which includ
ed the demand for full state mainten
ance, failing work, of all workers dur
ing the period of reconstruction, a
demand which is now being pressed
upon the government. It was active
in pressing for better pay, pensions
and allowances for the soldiers.
The Alliance decided to postpone
, action in the industrial field until
after the war, but each of the three
bodies drew up its plan for recon
struction, and these national programs
were mutually discussed and consid
ered in common. It is these which
the government now faces under a
threat of action that may plunge the
country into the greatest industrial
upreaval it has ever known.
CANTEEN SHIP
BORODINO IS
DISMANTLED
LONDON, March 1 (Correspondence
Df the Associated Press).—Crews of
the American battleship squadron
which formed one of the powerful out
fits of the grand fleet that ruled the
sea during the war will learn with re
gret of the dismantling of the old liner
Borodino, the floating canteen for four
pears of the British navy, according
to navy officials.
Her war work done, the Borodino
iow returns to the placid commerce
if peacetime. How much the Boro
lino administering to the creature
comforts of the fleet, did to relieve
;he strain of warfare and the monot
my of life in the dreary regions of
3capa. Plow, the Americans can tes
tify. And they will recall how, on re
turning from a sea mission, the crew
)f a United States battleship took a
ipecial pride in cleaning up the Boro
l:no, stripping its well-stocked count
ers of the last bun and the last pair of
suspenders.
Tlid Borodino was the first unofficial
jort of call of the warships on their
•eturn from the arduous cruises in
the North Sea. The smaller craft
would lay themselves alongside the
>ld liner while their crews went
iboard. The larger ships would send
their customers in small boats, or
would receive visits from the “drift
ers” attached to the Borodino as de
livery vans.
It was an extraordinary variety of
purchases that the canteen ship
iffered. There were comestible com
'orts of every description, all sort# of
lainty dishes to break the monotony
)f “bully beef” and biscuits; tobacco,
cigarettes, books and candy.
That was only part of the stock.
Visitors to the Borodino learned that
the sailor has delicate tastes of an
other kind. Choice perfumes at $9 a
jottle, face cream and expensive toilet
soaps constituted one of the most
popular departments of the store.
The Borodino did not go to sea, of
course, with the grand fleet, but she
lad her own adventures. Once on a
;rip from the Mersey she was hailed
nysteriously by wireless: “What ship
s that?”
“Borodino,” replied the canteen
ship, innocently.
“Where are you bound?” was the
lext question. To everyone afloat ex
cept a U-boat commander the Boro
lino's name was her passport, and the
nquirty put the vessel on the alert
md she cleared out of those waters
it full speed. The submarine, seek
ing the Borodino for its prey, was
sunk. Some months later an officer
visited the canteen ship and asked for
discount on the ground that he was
“the chap who sank that U-boat.” He
got it.

FOUNTAIN PRESENTED TO I
HONOLULU BY JAPSl
HONOLULU. March 28.—Presented
to Honolulu by the Japanese of Hawaii
to commemorate the accession to the
throne of the present emperor of
Japan, a beautiful fountain erected in
Kapiolani park was dedicated here to
day with appropriate ceremonies,
which gave testimony to the friend
ship between the United States and
Japan, making the occasion a notable
one.
Formal presentation of the fountain <
to the city was made by Consul Gen
eral Moroi, Japan’s representative in
Hawaii, the gift being accepted by
Mayor J. J. Fern and the board of su
pervisors.
Invitations to attend the dedicatory ^
ceremonies wkere sent by M. Moroi to
Governor C. J. McCarthy, Rear Ad
miral R. M. Doyle, commandant of the
Pearl Harbor naval station; Brigadier
General J. W. Heard, commander of
the Department of Hawaii, members
3f the territorial legislature, federal
nfficials and to many army and navy
sfllcers stationed here.
The memorial fountain is massive, <
Df Phoenix design and stands as a
testimonial to the artistry of its Jap
anese builders. The casting for the
bronze portions were made at an esti
mated cost of nearly $10,000 and were
ordered from the Tokio Art school. (
rhe first casing arrived in Honolulu
in 1916 and it ha3 required over two
years to complete the work.
Tomorrow will also be a gala day
for the Japanese of the city, as they
plan to conclude the dedication with
in athletic meet in which wrestling *
md fencing will be featured.
REACTION FROM STYLES
IN VOGUE DURING WAR,
PARIS, March 5 (by mail).—Paris
fashions this year will be “strikingly
new and handsome,” regardless of the
high cost of living, and in the way of
gowns the feminine world expects to
see a reaction from the war time sim- *
plicity.
A “victory” style in women’s gowns
is expected this spring and summer,
says Excelsior, and evening gowns
will be more elaborate than they have
been since the war. <
Gowns will be longer and more or
nate, it is reported, and brilliant col
ors, profusions of flowers, plenty of
ribbons, frills and furbelows, will be
the rage. There will be no pronounced
"military style.” The year 1919, it is ^
said, will not see the birth of any dis- .
tinctly new fashion, as it is only a
“transition period.”
