De Una
HERMOSA COMEDIA
LA CASTELLANA'

La Compahia de Virginia Fabregas

por Ell pnblico, y tuvo escenas intere-
santisimas.
Era una obra de Barbieri: LA Caste
Hama El conflicto presentado por ell
autor, EN- esta comedia, de corte ele-
gantisimo, es el divorcio, un divorcio
que es necesario para que la Cas-
tellana'', acknowledgements representa-
da por Virginia Fabregas, pueda con-
traer nuevas nupcias.
Ell autor ha descorrido por un mo-
mento las cortinas de ese mundo aris
tocratico donde la plsbe dorado ce-
Zebra sus ritos de frivolidad, adulte-
ra las pasiones con el resplandor del
orc. Hay varias personals empenadas
EN- casar a Lucia con Andres Jossom,
porque este dispone de una gran for
tuna
Los estratagemas y los ardides que
la madre de Lucia pone en- juego para
realizar sus planes de casamiento; Las
reprensiones que lie hace a su hija,
ell modo de como Sc preparan esas nup-
cias que todos desean inenos los cue
deberian ser los amantes, forman la
parte interesante psychological de Ia
comedia.
La obra tiene un bello desenl2ce,
cuando Ell esposo legal de Teresa, EN-
peflado EN- hacer todo el NAL possible,
Sc We vencido en- sus malignos propoai-
tos decide regenerarse.
Todos los artistas trabajaron nuy
bien compartieron los aplausos de-
publico, que hizo levantar ell telon va
rias veces, al final de algunas escenas.

a que los precios de las localidades Sc
consideran excesivos.
Nos dicen que va el abono de Ponce
esta cubierto en- exceso, y que la Com

Monsieur Willard dice que no acep

tiago Iglesias
LA HUELGA TRAE UN
GRAVE CONFLICTO
A LAS CENTRALES

!
Monsieur Willard, manager de la
Compania del Ferrocarril, francamen-
te manifesto aver un redactor de Ell
MUNDO que en- modo alguno aceptara
que Santiago Iglesias, el "leader'' So
cialista intervenga en- la sohcion de un
conflicto que solo incumbe Ia com
pafia y a sus empleados.
Nos manifesto, ademas, que la Com
pania ha hecho va tres aumentos en-
los salaries, y que Ell ultimo, hecho ell
diciembre del pasado afo, era ell limi-
te que Sc habia acordado en- la escala
ascendente, y segln ell convenio esta-
blecido con las diversas logias de me-
canicos y maquinistas, la Compaiiia Sc
reservaba Ell derecho de reducir los
sueldos este aho, de acuerdo con las
circunstancias.
Ningln sueldo ha sido reducido, sin
embargo, y todos los operarios han Sc
guido disfrutando de aquel aumento
de 18 por ciento. Ahora, sin que haya
una causa fundamental el descontento
vuelve a cundir entire los empleados
todos, de un modo violento, quieren i'm
poner la Compaiiia ciertas condicio-
nes, que Monsieur Willard considera
excesivas.
Monsieur Willard explic6 que las con-
diciones fnancieras de Ia Compaflia del
Ferrocarril no son muy halagadoras Ell
Ia actualidad, y no Sc pueden aumen-
tar los sueldos, segln los nimeros que
figuran en- los hbros.
La American Railroad Co" es-
ia dispuesta a discutir con los obreros
las clausulas estipuladas en- ell pliego
que fue enviado por las logias, pero
quiere tener gel derecho de escoger, entire
los mismos obreros, con quienes ha de
tratar, para esos fines ha solicitado
sc envien tres ternas, en- la siguiente
forma:
Tres nombres de empleados de explo-
taci6n; tres de obreros generates, tres
me maquinistas y fogoneros. Entonces
Mr.. Villard,-segun nos dice elegira
de cada una de esas tres ternas, un hom
bre para que represente los intereses
de los huelguistas sienipre que vayan
animados por la buena fe.
Los obreros no quieren admitir este
procedimiento de ternas, tai vez por que
entire ellos mismos, existe cierta des-
confanza. Los obreros quieren mandar
todos los hombres que mejor lie parez-
can para discutir las bases.
La paralizacion de los trenes, en- es-
tos momentos criticos, en- que empieza
la Eafra, significa enormes p6rdidas pa
ra la Compafiia las centrales azuca-
reras. Tampoco hay remedio alguno a
Ia mano, puse no Sc puede recurrir a
los militares para que corran las ma
quinas, debido a que, con toda probabi-
lidad, son muy pocos los que puedan
manejar una locomotora, y aim asi hay
que hacer ciertos relevos, para 10 que
Sc necesitan muchos hombres.
Ell numero de huelguistas asciende a
quinientos hombres la paralizacion
es general en- toda la isla.
Un detalle curioso de esta huelga es
que muchos bultos mercancias que
estaban en- transito cl dia de la declara-
ci6n, no fueron entregados a los CO.
merciantes quienes sin tener culpa al
guna, han sufrido algunos dafios.

Victory Drive Officials Report $780,
$50 in Subscriptions Since
Campaigns Start.

The last opportunity to enlist
names on the honor roll of the Vic
tory Liberty loan will be tonight at
the special booth in the Robinson

Arrangements were made Satur-
day for the extension of the volun-

OF the Liberty loan committee that
the subscriptions for this particular
period of the drive will reach nearly
to the. half million mark
Total tabulations of subscriptions
made thus far show $3.50, $50 loaned
to Uncle Sam by the people of Rock
Island. The grand total reported for
Saturday reached $195,700, nearly
half of which was subscribed during
the evening. A few precincts have
yet to make their report.
Those who are conducting the
campaign are much gratified with
the showing made thus far and say
there is no longer doubt but that
Rock Island will subscribe its total
before the week is over.

WHO OWNS ALL OF &
THE AUTOMOBILES

The collectors of the internal reve-
nue. bureau are trying to figure out
how man can support an automobile
and family on less than $4,000 a
year. With more than 5000, 900
automobiles in the United States, the
preliminary figures on income tax
returns which have been filed with the
collectors of Uncle Sans for 1918
show only approximately 1000, 900
schedules. AS these income tax re-
turns must be made by all unmarried
men whose incomes exceed the ST.
600 mark, this leaves about 4,OOO,-
automobiles whose source of support
the treasury is trying to discover.
OF course considerable number of
these are automobiles and trucks
owned by corporations-but not four
million of them.
The report of the automobile in
come-tax record for the United States
gives Idaho, Utah and Montana col
lectively as having 119,997 automo-
biles, the owners of which pay an
income tax on the same in the sum of
$51,526. The state of Ohio is the
banner automobile state, with 464,-
S26 cars; New York comes next with
4S6,s32; then Pennsylvania with
436,932; Illinois with 401 ,371; Mich
igan with 1885, Iowa, $751; 500;

ven at the Third ward meeting house
last Friday in connection with the
commemoration of thefiftieth ami

No particular period was represented
but the dresses were unique and
beautiful.
Grandma Julia Dunn sat knitting
at an old fashioned fire place, with
homemade carpets on the floor and
a spinning wheel in active work by
Mrs. VIM. Hirschi.
The minuets delighted many of the
old pioneers, who occupied front
seats, which had been reserved fol
them.
Grandmother's apple pies and an
old fashioned luncheon was served
to about 200 people. Old-time dances
were then INDUCED in until about
1880, when everybody reluctantly
took their leave, hoping soon to be
able to gather in 1.-THE good old time
ward"-the Third ward.
