Regular Theatrical Season At Bradley
Open. With Splendid Attraction

Bradley theatre opened its regular
theatrical season on Thursday, with
Charles Dillingham; presenting the
immensely popular fantasy, Chin
Chin. Manager David Smith could
have secured no attraction that would
have been more favorable for the sea-
sons starter. The company was large,
there were good voices, and the CHOIR
us was far above the average. 1t was
one of the largest productions of its
kind that has ever played Putnam.
This company is not one that regular
ly plays smaller cities, as shown by
the fact that the two car loads of spe-
cial scenery brought could not be
used. as the Bradley stage was not
sufficiently large to accommodate it.
But that mattered little, for the cos
tunes and effects were delightful.
The audience was large; it filled the
theatre almost to capacity.
Walter Wills and Roy Binder play
ed the parts originally taken by Mont
gomery and Stone, and proved them
selves worthy successors. William
Pruette was pleasing in the role of
Aladdin The eccentric dancing of
Walter Wills and Violet Tree brought
rounds of applause, as did the ventril-
oquist act and the saxaphone sextette.
In every way the performance, even
though hampered by a small stage,
was all that could be desired.

Message From Washington
May Have Ended the
Walk-Out

BALTIMORE, March 49, - The Coo
shipworkcrs who laid down their tools
at the Baltimore Drydock and Ship
building Company plant here yesterday
Will return to work tomorrow morn
ing. Local No. 35, Boilermakers, Iron
Shipbuilders and Helpers, which in
cluded the strikers, issued a statement
late tonight announcing that the lay
off was due to a misunderstanding Of
tht Wage Adjustment Board scale, but
that 1t had been properly explained at
meeting tonight. and the men had
voted unanimously to return to work.
Leaders deny that they received any
message from the Shipping Board in
ducing them TO resume work.
1t was intimated in Washington to-
day that pro-German influences in
Baltimore have had something to dc
with this latest obstruction of work
in the shipyards. The situation in the
baltimore yard was reported 20 the
Shipping Board to-day in the follow
ing message from the BALTIMORE Dry
recommending that the Shipping Board

in the shpyards during the war period
be prohibited from working in any
yard in which there is government con-
struction for period of from thirty
to sixty days:
"All riveters in our yard, including
those working on Navy Department
mine sweepers, left their work yester-
day morning. They were later followed
by all clippers ard caulkers and some
reamers and drillers.
NO demand of any kind has been
made upon us, ana we do not know of
any grievance. We hear from outsi de
not return to work until Judge Gray,
of Wilmington, has rendered deci-
sion on the demand that they made on
the Adjustment Board for $10.56 a day
for clippers and caulkers and S24 a
day for a gang of machine riveters.

boy. on what is known at our works as
allowance work, which is scattered
work and repair work, where piecework
prices are not applicable.
THE government expects us to build
ships. Some drastic action must be
taken to prevent occurrences OF this
kind. The men are receiving exceed
ingly high pay and all question of
wages, piece work prices. hours. con-
dtion of labor, are absolutely in the
hands Of the government, through the
Labor Adjustment Board"
Until about month ago. the steel
hull workers in the yards of the Baltl-
more district were receiving $4.SS per
day. The recent decision OF the Labor
Adjustment Board, raising the wages
IN the Delaware River district, IN
creased the pay of this class OF workers
to $500 per day. By working overtime
they nave been able, it was stated at
the Shipping Board to-day. 10 obtain
between $40 and $12 per DAY.
The demand now for a fiat days pay
Of S1O.50 was interpreted here as an
effort to secure the same pay for nor
NAL days work as the men are now re-
ceiving for the day with overtime.
The demand represents an attempt
to secure a nearly 100 per cent in
crease in wages over the normal rate.

Besides being the first wooden shir

is also the first of fleet of a nev.

constructed of wood-which are being
built by twenty-three firms on the A.

The company announced that the
superstructure of the hull will be COM
pleted next month, and the ship then
will be turned over to the government
for the installation Of machinery. An
other hull will be launched this month.
Then launchings are to take place
every two weeks.
footing of whistles and screeching
OF sirens all along the Passac River
signalized the advent Of the new ship.
Scarcely q ripple disturbed the murky
water as the Coyote slipped down its
creased ways and floated buoyantly on
the river.
Miss Phyllis Hughes. daughter of the
late Senator William Hughes, of New
Jersey, performed the christening cerc-
mony. Beside her on platform in
front of the bow stood James O. Hay

interested in shipbulding.
At signal Miss Hughes released a
suspended bottle of champagne. which
broke against the bow, and the hull,

and weighing $500 tons, began NOV
ing slowly toward the water The sun,
lighting brilliantly the flags Of the
Allied nations on the hull, was taken
b. the shipyard officials as a good

Corporation last summer. Although
the Foundation Company had to develop

After the ceremony Mr.. Hayworth
announced that shipbuilding firm at
