Worcester, Albany, Rochester, and Boston,
and the other association theatres The
Rats promise that the strike will become
general. involving every theatre employ
ing one OF their order or any in sympathy
with It.
On the other hand. the managers make
the declaration that there is no better
time than the present to meet the issue,
and as they say Ito prove the value OF
association unity" They positively state
that all who have gone out of their the
aires on strike shall never return. and
that they have forfeited the salaries due
for the part Of the week during which they
played. They further allege that there are
more acts idle today than can be accom-
modated and in proof - this assertion
after the first inconvenience due to being
unprepared for the unexpected strike. all
of the houses deserted by the Rats were
soon running with full bills, and TO what
is said to be just as large business, and,
