NO MOVIE OPERATOR STRIKE
Agreement Practically Reached as
to Wages.

The strike of the moving picture oper-
ators of Washington which was threat
ened for today has not been called, as
the result of meeting yesterday be-
tween representatives of the operators
union and of the Exhibitors Association
as to wages
At meeting held in the rooms of the
Chamber OF Commerce the exhibitors
practically agreed to the terms of the
compromise made by their representa-
tives and those of the operators several
days ago A formal vote on the agree
ment was not taken, as many exhibitors
were unable to attend the meeting. The
discussion of the demands of the oper-
ators, however, showed that there is not
likely to be any further trouble The
entire membership of the Exhibitors As
sociation will be given an opportunity to
vote on the question before formally
approving the terms of the compromise
Both the exhibitors and operators have
receded from their original positions. The
operators first demanded $50 a week
with an eght-hour day and 30 cents an
hour for overtime.
The agreement reached, however, pro-
vides for 3612 cents an hour. without an
eight-hour day, and no extra pay for
overtime. The exhibitors also agreed to
insist that If the operators want a day
off they shall provide substitute suit
able to the exhibitors, and that the day
off shall he set by the exhibitors.

Leaders Embarrassed.

House leaders killed the resolution limit
ing the presidential term TO six years and
making a President ineligible because
Speaker Clark and Representative I'm
derwood were in an embarrassing situa-
ton, having been candidates before the
Baltimore convention, and they did not
want to appear to be wreaking revenge
on their successful rival by passing i'm
mcdiately on the heels of their defeat
a resolution foreclosing Wilson from as
plring for second term. The two-term
idea would meet this situation. II would
also dispose of Col Roosevelt, for wheth-
er his service in the White House be
construed TO have been one or two terms,
the resolution would be worded to fix the
limit of the tenure at eight years and
that would make the colonel ineligible for
another four years.

Suggestions to Roads.

The commission makes these suSges-
tions to the railroads:
Il. That higher per diem rate shall
be made to apply for the use of cars az
between the carriers.
-. That an inspection service be at
once Instituted which shall report tn this
commission violations of the rules exist
ing which are intended to insure the re.
turn OF equipment to the home line.
-. That operating officials be instruct
ed to make fuller use of locomotives and
cars by increasing the speed of freight
trains. An average movement of less
than twenty-five miles a car day Is
not adequate to the need of time such
az this. An increased speed of move
ment is tantamount TO an increase In
equipment"

Democrats Refused to

something perhaps unexampled in party
politics in the United States. They rode
roughshod over the Cleveland adherents,

nominee the Cleveland supporters We're

silverites who could not favor the plat
form walked out, some of them with

speech swept him up the political ladder
from contesting delegate to the nomi-
nee of the convention, after one of the
most dramatic scenes in the history of
political gatherings.
The silver republicans ratified the ac-
tion of the democratic convention. the
populists put up Bryan and Watson and
the bulk of the prohibition vote went for
free silver. Later the go d democrats
met and gave the Cleveland administra-
ton the Endorsement it had been denied
by the regular democratic convention, and
nominated Palmer and Buckner on
