The impending railroad strike has nee

is the custom of this house to give Sun
day performances, holding over last
weeks company for this purpose. the
company leaving at midnight Sunday for

being Pittsburgh.
AS the crisis in transportation affairs
seemed to be approaching, the present
weeks company, under the direction OF

for leaving Washington Immediately att

doing so, they will reach Pittsburgh be-

whereby Rose Sydell's London Bellies,

amendment was adopted. He said:
After all. this is only an emergency
measure intended to meet an immediate
crisis, 1t is not Intended for the sole
benefit of the railroad men, but to pro-

brought the bill out, answered with a

was dealing with a most acute situation.
He was followed by Representative Hef-

out of such a calamity. He commended
