necessary hastily to increase the
plants in this city, and during the
war the company spent over $1,000
900 more in capitalization To meet
the. activities of the war. 1t was COM
pelled to put in new switchboards, lay
many conduits and purchase two
apartment houses in which to house
telephone girls.
The Government was employing so
many clerks and other workers that
a sufficient number of local girls, liv-
ing in their own homes, could not be
secured. So the telephone company
sent away from Washington and
brought in hundreds of girls from the
States, most of them trained opera
tors. They were housed In the COM
pany's own apartments, and provided
with meals there.
Officials Of the company are unable

lions of outlay Is chargeable to the
United States Government. and how
much Is usable for commercial pur-
poses. The company realizes that IT

COMES TOEND
Both Sides Satisfied With
Settlement Made in Big
Walkout.

NEW YORK, Sept. 6.-The actors
strike which began a month g and
after closing the majority Of legiti-
mate theaters in New York, spread to
other cities, was settled early today.
All theatres affected by the strike will
be reopened at once. The settlement
followed a four-hour conference between
producing managers and representa-
tives of the Actors Equity association
and other labor organizations Of the
theater workers.
Augustus Thomas, the playwright,
chairman of the mediation committee
of the Authors League of America,
stated that an open shop had been
agreed upon. Francis Wilson, president
of the Actors Equity association, said
that all differences had been settled
to the satisfaction of both sides. A
statement, it was said, would be is
sued during the day setting forth the
terms Of the agreement.
Settlement Of The strike directly af-
ter officials of the international AL
lance of Stage Employees and Motion
Picture Operators had ordered members
employed in 1863 theaters throughout
the country where Shubert prpduc-
lions are being played to strike immed-
lately, Both the stage hands organ
ization and the actors association are
affiliated with the American Fedora
ton of Labor.
The new Actors Fidelity league, or
ganized since the strike began by
George M. Conan in an attempt to
force the equity association to a set
tlement, had no part in the final con-
ference and agreement. 1t was inti-
mated that the fidelity would soon dis
band since the striking actors refused

Must Break Trust.

Search your own economic history
and what have you been uneasy about?
Now and again you have said there were
small groups Of capitalists who were
controlling the industry and therefore
the development of the United States.
Seriously, my fellow citizens, II that Is

Il was) we must break up that monop-
oily.
II am not saying that there is any
group OF our fellow citizens who are
co-nsclentiously doing anything of the
kind, and am saying that these al
legations must be proved. But is 1t Is
proved, that any class, any group any
where is without the suffrage Of their
fellow citizens In control Of our af-
fairs than / am with you to destroy the
power of that group.
"We have got to be frank with our
selves, however. II we do not want
minority government In Germany we
must see~to II that We do not have 1t In
the United States. If you do not want
little groups of selfish men to plot the
future OF Europe. we must not allow
little groups of selfish men to plot the
future OF America. Any man that
speaks for a class must prove that he
also speaks for all his fellow-citizen

OF the glories Of the great document

That everywhere within the area Of set

the thing does not end there because
the treaty includes the covenant Of the
league OF nations. And what iioes that
say? That says that it Is the privilege
OF any membe state to call attention

disturb, the peace Of the world or the
good understanding between nations
upon which the peace Of the world de-
ponds, and every people in the world
that have not got what they think they

forum In which to bring the thing to

There never before has been provided
a world forum in which the legitimate

ask any better forum than to stand up

Orr Terms Are Liberal-One-Fifth Cash
Balance, Ten Equal Monthly Payments

DUYERS of Judgment and discretion appreciate the fact
id that diamonds have constantly enhanced in value for
years, Investors consider diamonds as one of the high
est forms of collateral. In view of the present market condi-
lions every indication points with a remarkable degree of GER
tainty to very substantial increases. 1t is advisable to antici-
pate your future requirements when you can secure the def
mite advantages of our present pIicings.
Under our accommodating selling plan you can make an
investment IN a diamond by paying one-fifth the purchase
price III cash. The balance can be arranged in ten equal
monthly payments, This convenient method incorporates all
the elements of q systematic saving plan and permits you to
wear the diamond while making the payments.
In the event that you are considering an investment in
diamonds write us, giving an estimate of the amount you de-
sire to invest. Our mail order division will prepare a VERY
liberal selection package which will be sent express prepaid.
You can make an examination of our offerings in the privacy
OF your own home, or compare them with those of other dia-
mond merchants, We merely require, as a means of identif-
cation only, the name of your bank or two or three well rated
merchants.
The diamonds we send in these memorandum packages
must sell themselves without, the addition of outside influence.
therefore, we are careful to mark in plain figures the exact
weight and grade of each stone.
We would suggest that if our Diamond Booklet. No, Is.
is not now in your possession that you write for it TODAY. 1t
contains valuable information as to the relative value of the
various weights and grades of diamonds.
