New York, March 1.-THE chiefs OF
the brotherhoods of the railway em
ployes came here today for their final
conference with chairmen of the
union in eastern territory before
meeting Representatives of the nation
al committee of the railroads tomor-
row to present their demands for an
eightIhour day. 1t was expected that
the eastern Representatives would fol-
low the example of the employees con-
ferences held yesterday at Washing
ton and St. Louis, and ratified plans
for general strike, if the railroads
refuse to grant their demands.
Orders Issued.
Strike orders to take effect first in
the east on Saturday, already have
been issued. and the organized en-
ployes await directions to be issued
here after Thursdays conference.
The managers committee, which IS
handling the situation for the rail-
roads, will meet here tonight. The
managers maintain that there cannot
be any compromise at this time, pend.
ing a decision by the supreme court
on the Adamson law.
Don't Look for Action.
There is no expectation on the part
of the railroad leaders here that Pres
ident Wilson will take any action prior
to the announcement of the result of
the Thursday meeting. w. G. Lee,
head of the trainmen's organization,
declared that he and his associates
would go before the railroad repre-
with their entire member
ship united behind their demands.
A statement issued by the chiefs
of the railroad brotherhoods. before
leaving Washington last night, de-
as absurd, "all insinuations
to the effect that transportation en-
ployes are not loyal citizens because
Of their attempt at this time to secure
from their employers the benefits con-
by the law" and said that
the railroad men had given to Presi-
dent Wilson assurances of their will
lingness and intention to support the
should war be declared.
"Seemingly, it has been the pur-
pose of the railroad companies" said
the statement, ito postpone settle
ment of this question until either a
panic or war should defeat our de.
mands."

DOES NOT AFFECT CRISIS.
(Unjted PreSs.)

Washington, March 1.-THE sink
ing of the American steamer. Algon
Quin, in an unwarned attack by a
German submarine and confirmed to-
today, substantiated the expressed
belief of officials here that Germany
would carry her ruthlessness into the
American situation, but did not alter
the present crisis American armed
ships will venture forth as is planned
by the navy department. The sink
ing of the Algonquin convinced au-
thorities that they have nothing to
hope for in the way of modified pro-
cedure on Germany's part of her
warfare. The vessel sailed unarmed
from New York the same time the
Rochester started.
Is Critical.
Her arrival abroad was never re-
ported. While there is general
agreement that the sinking of the Al
gonquin does not necessarily mean
war at this time. state department
officials regard it as extremely critical
and tending to show that Germany
is making her acts conform with her
threat. The general view was that
despite the overt character of the
sinking. the government is taking all
steps to continue it's arming Of AM
erican vessels.
Statements of the crew of the Stor-
stadt cabed to the state department
today confirmed previous reports that
the German submarine which sank
the vessel utterly disregarded the Bel
gian flag which the ship flew. The
Germans are operating at night more
than in the day time, according to
government information.

REAL LIFE DREAMS IN PLAY.

A birth, marriage and death, three of the vital happenings round which most of the drama of human life is woven, figured in reality dur ing the making of the big screen pro- duction of Romeo and Juliet," in which Francis X. Bushman and Beverly Bayne are starred.
 While the Bushman-Bayne company of more than six hundred players were working in a scene in the Italian city of Verona, erected on the Brigh- ton Beach race track. one of the wOln- en in the crowd fell prostrate in the street. She was removed to a tent back of the street scenes. where she gave birth to baby boy. She was Mrs. Rosanna Araza. 26 years old, of Brooklyn. She had the role of fruit vendor, and for the most part stood in front of her stand in the recess of quaint building. There were, perhaps, scores Of romances that had their beginnings when the six hundred players met and worked together for many days and nights, but as far as known only one friendship resulted in wedding during the making of the picture. Jesse l.. Guire, a student in the Co., lumbia university summer school, ob- tained position working as an extra in the big scenes made in the studio at night. He was working his way through school, and the three dollars he received each night added consld- erably to his purse.
 Justine Harcourt, high school girl, living in the Bronx with her mother and three sisters, was another "eX- tra." Justine. who had ambitions to go on the stage as soon as she lin ished school. induced an older sister to accompany her to the studio. There Justine met young Guire for the first time. Four weeks after their first meeting they were married.
 The saddest chapter of this history making feature was the death of John Arthur. the man who wrote the scenario and conceived the idea of picturizing the great drama on big scale for the screen. MT. Arthur lived to see the big feature well under way, and was present for several weeks when many of the important scenes were photographed. But his hope ana ambition to see the completed picture upon the screen were not realized. lie died suddenly of acute indigestion m New York hospital. MT. Arthur was A wears old. He was graduate Of the Northwestern university, and TOT a time was a member of the faculty there.

Today-Bessie Rarriscale in "Plain Jane" Bessie Barriscale returns tC
 the Triangle program in "Plain Jane, comedy drama from the pen of C. Gardner Sullivan, and scOrnS another
 in what is now a long succession of personal triumphs. More, critics agree, that the story, photography directing and setting for "Plain Jane''
 make it one of the decided hits of the year. The picture serves to in- trOduce Miss Barriscale in decidedly new and different role than she has been seen in for many months. Ably seconding all of Miss Barriscale's ef- forts is Charles Ray, who plays the
 part of the boy working his way through school, and cherishing. as he thought, lofty ideas of his ultimate
 mission toward mankind.
 The settings for the story. and, in particular, those which show the cam pus of a college, are realistic and ar
 tistic. Not little care was exer- cised in order to impart an atmos- phere of accuracy, and those memo ries of college days are either dim or vivid, welcome the picture as a touch of real life, all too often flashed on the screen. A particularly Wellbal- anced and capable cast supports Miss Barriscale in the minor roles. and the picture makes a decided addition to the wealth of achievements placed to the credit of the cinema. Miss Barri- scale, once revealed in all her charm ing beauty, makes decidedly attrac-
 tive picture, and her acting through
 out the story leave nothing to be de- sired.
