from the moving pictures and it is
understood that the tWo-thirds share
Of the receipts from that source was a
big factor in the decision.
The only positive decision as to the
location of the fight set forth in the
bid was when it was stated that the
battle must be held in california Ne
vada or Utah.
Tom McCarey, of Los Angeles, claims
the deal was framed up against him
and that he never would have had
chance against the combine" no mat
ter what the bid might have been.

made on some divisions of the COM

1t is said new men are being secured
in many cities to take the places of
the striking switchmen, and that these
men will not be laid off in the event
of settlement of the strike. 1t is be-
1ieved by officers of the road that time

who walked out in accordance with the
strike order will be forced to seek 9TH

This matter was discussed before
the committee OH parks OF the coun-
