FIX WAGES AT 1918 PER DAY
WHAT ARBlTERS SAY
ON WAGE QUESTION

A majority Of the arbltrators felt
constrained TO adJudae that the rate
OF wagcse should be fixed at rate
below tho amount asked for ny the
Journeymcn, and they fixed the wages
at 1915 per day. There are Journey
men worthy Of moro, and there are
,Journeynen not worthy OF 50 much,
and as no discrimination is desired
middle ground Is obliged to be taken.
It is much to be regretted that
proper and Just discrimination cannot
be made In respect to the merits Of
the Journeymen, SO that the merlto-
rlous Will receive a fun reward anu
the Indifferent will be stimulated to
Increased efficiency.

with hum0r and always interesting
With such a play. Mr.. Figman again
asked Memphis people to consider him.
They have done this. Mr.. Figman's
Robert Warburton was positive and
persuasive. 1t was triumph of ar
tistic acting. His meth DDS are finish
ed. He is exceedingly natural to begin
with. He understands the value of
facial expression, and he reads in a
way that revives faith in the English
language. Mr.. Figman is sure in ev-
erything be does. Naturally an artist,
he has improved this art with study.
He is absolute master of stage techni.

to do will be we'll done. Among con.
actors none seem SO well
