 FOR RAILROAD MEN
Outcome pf Conferences Between Road Officials and Brotherhood Represen- tatives.

It Is understood in railroad circles here that increases in pay of between 10 and 20 per cent, the inn mediate establishment of a straight
 workers god a new set of rules gov erning the working day of passenger
 train operatives have been promised
 to the employees of the New Haven
 men are the outcome Of a series Of
 conferences held in New Haven be-
 tween officials of the road and repz
 resentatives of the brotherhoods. / adjustment of the Adamson eight hour
 law to meet working conditions on
 the New Haven road. The Adamson
 law was intended to meet the de-
 mands of the men on all railroads, regardless of local conditions. Since
 the adoption of the law the railroad officials and representatives of the men have been in conference concern
 ing the working conditions on the New Haven for the purpose of ad- justing them for the best interests of both the men and the road.
 At the office of the superintendent Of the New London line division it was stated Thursday that nothing had been heard concerning such an agreement although it was known that Inc con- ferences had been in progress for some time. The agreement, while not official but which is known be sub SLdnI1ally correct IOfiOWS.
 Brakemen in the passenges serv- ice will receive an increase from 27 cents an hour to 32; baggage mas ters from 31 to 34 1-2 cents an hour; ticket collectors from 40 to A 1-2 cents an hour and conductors will go to 56 1-2 cents an hour. In reckov- ing the days pay for passenger men, a "]ayover" of an hour or more will be de6Plctible from the hours to be paid for. If the '1ayover" is less than an hour, the employment will be con- sidered continuous and paid for as if the time consItned in waiting for re- turn trips at the end of runs were used in operating trains. This new provision is expected to be especially beneficial to employees on the. New York division, where the "layovers' are of S,ight duration. The 'employe l on duty for more than 12 consecu- tive hours will receive two days pay for that time. |
 The straight eight-hour day will be- | some effective Sunday in the local | yards, 1t is understood.
 It Is presumed that the engineers | and fremen will get pay increases n proportion to those given the other | nen, but no information could be | gained on the subject today.

Palace Theatre Tonight.

Henry Walthall, whose presence on
the Triangle program came as an in
teresting surprise when the recent an
nouncement was made that he was to
be starred in Ibsen's "Pillars of So
ciety," is said to make the most i'm
portant characterization of his career
in this extraordinary play. He is Oft
en- called the most intellectual actor
on the screen and it is certain he is
peculiarly fitted to interpret the COM
plexities of character that Ibsen, go
ing straight to life for him material,
was dramatic master of and with with
such consummate skill
Karstor Bernick, the leading char
acter in Ibsen's "Pillars of Society" a
part played by Henry Walthall, is one
of the most extraordinary villains in
dramatic literature. Almost to the
end of the play you see him as lead
ing citizen, respected, shrewd and a
large giver to charity--a man of evi-
dent polish and dignity But through
it all you glimpse the cloven hoo1
through a multitude of subtle touches
In reality he is an arch-hypocrite, 6
financial pirate, a murderer at heart
and voluptuary, but, like villains ir
real life, he has his tender, human
spot. He is devoted to his small son
and thereby hangs an important part
of the story A less gifted dramatist
would have been afroid to allow sc
many excellences to his "heavy," but
in Ibsen's skillful hands the charac-
tre grows in sinister power by reason
of these very excellences. To have
screened this masterpiece was a dar.
ing and worthy undertaking.

The importance of age, sex, exercise,
food and care as influencing tender
ness and flavor in poultry is pointed
out by home economics specialists of
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture in professional paper, Bull
letin as, just published.
There is much less difference, the
bulletin states, in the digestibility
or healthtulness of the meat of diff
ferent kinds of fowls than is COM
monty supposed. early all the nu-
trients and energy of poultry, as of
other meats, it is pointed out, are
utilized hy the healthy normal body.
In all kinds of poultry, table quality
depends primarily on tenderness and
flavor, and these, in turn, are influ-
enced by age, sex, exercise, food and
care. Freshness is also an important
factor, but this is not merely a ques-
ton of how long bird has been dead,
but rather of how far developed are
the chemical and meteorological
changes which, when they are carried
too far, cause what we call spelling
or decomposition in the meat. The
microorganisms which cause danger
Gus changes are likely to be introduced
by careless and dirthy handling, and
for this reason cleanliness should be
insisted on. The changes take place
most rapidly in the presence of
warmth and moisture. Hence cleanli-
ness, cold and dryness are at the bot
tom of all the methods of caring for
