BEST THEATRE.

Maurice Tourneur's latest Para mount-Artcraft production, ."The
 White Heather" will be the main feature at the Best theatre today and tomorrow. The story is adapted from the melodrama written by Cecil Ral- eigh and Henry Hamilton, which had a long run at the Drury Lane theatre in London. Indirectly the title comes from the little flower of the Sctoch Highlander, the white heather, which is said to bring good luck to it's wearer.
 Scotland, however, is the back ground for but part of the story. The action centers around the recov- cry of a marriage record from the hulk of sunken yacht, "The White Heather" The big scene of the melo- drama takes place at the bottom of { the sea, where the hero and william fight to the death on the ocean floor. For these remarkable scenes MT Tourneur employed the newest inven- tion of the Williamson Brothers
 whose subsea photograph devices
 made possible the under water scenes
 of "The Submarine Eye" and Twenty
 Thousand Leagues Under the Sea-
 The various roles are in the hands o1 capable players.

 The letter declares that fuel oil is now quoted at $1.S5 a barrel in Seat tie, while in New Orleans it's cost is only 80 cents barrel.

300,o0o ARE ON STRIKE, CHICAGO
 LEADER CLAIMS
Wheat Embargoes Predicted as Result of Increased Walk
 outs of ShOpmen.

Chicago, Aug. 7.-At the head quarters of the Federated Railway Shopmen's union today numerous re- ports were received indicating the serious effects of the nationwide strike of the organization on freight traffic. Word was received from Milwaukee that al lof the roads enter ing that city had declared an embar- go on wheat shipments. Unlon lead, CTS predicted that an embargo would be declared on wheat at St. Louis, Kansas City and other points within 48 hours. The railroads in the mid dle west and South have for several days been refusing to accept perish able goods for shipment as result or the strike. Thousands of locomo- tives and cars in bad repair and un- fit for service are reported to be accommodating in number of railroad centers.
 I. M. Hawver, president of the Chicago council of the Federated Railway Shopmen's union said to- day:
 "There are now 100000 of our men out and the number is increasing daily. This will soon tie-up the traffic on every road in the country. ihe grand lodge officers are using every influence at their command to induce our men to return to work without success. They will stay out until our demand for higher wages is granted"
 Reports were received that rail- roads at Kansas City and St. Louis were refusing to accept shipments of live stock for Chicago.
 Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 7.-The first break in the strike of railroad shop men in the southeast came late today when 1,500 employees of the Norfolk and Western railroad shops at Roa- noke, Va., voted to return to work to- morrow, and await results of the vote on a general strike order. In the meantime, railroads in the southeast working under suspension of freight traffic except in perishable goods and foodstuffs for human consumption. Passenger trains generally were run ming on schedule, but pullman sleep ing cars had been eliminated from several trains. The mayor of Allan ta, after comforting with local repre- sentatives of oil companies, announced today that gasoline would be sold only by permit beginning tomorrow, except in few special cases.

agreements or not. There can be no question, therefore, of the readiness of the government to deal in a spirit of fairness and by regular methods 1 with any matters the men may bring | to their attenti on.
 | Duty of Workers.
 Concerned and very careful con- sideration is being given by the en- tire government to the question of reducing the high cost of living. 1 need hardly point out how intimately and directly this matter affects every individual in the nation, and if trans portation is interrupted, it will be i'm possible to solve it. This is a time when every employe of the railways should help to make the processes of transportation more easy and econo- mical rather than less, and those who f are on strikes are deliberately delay ing a settlement of their wage prob lems and of their standard of living. They should promptly return to work, and hope that you will urge upon their representatives the immediate necessity for their doing so.
 Cordially and sincerely yours,
 WOODROW WILSON"
 Director General Hines, notified the union immediately that the rail road administration was ready to take up the question "as soon as the employees return to work" In let ter to B. M. Jewell, acting president of the railway employees department of tie American Federation of Labor, MT. Hines said:
 'I enclose letter which have just received from the president rela- tive to the wage matter. It is obv- ious that it is of the higher import ance not only in the interest of the public, but in the interest of the en- ployes themselves, that they shall immediately return to work. The sit uation having been clarified by the definite indication that congress does not wish to take action in the prem ises, the railroad administration stands ready to take up the wage question on it's merits with the duly accredited international officers and their authorized committee as soon as the employees return to work"
 The effect of the presidents decis- ion, it was believed would be to put a sudden end to sporadic strikes stroughout the country, denounced as illegal by union officials, but in- volving perhaps 8O,000 men and to some extent interfering with normal traffic It was taken for granted also that the menace of a general strike to compel higher wages to meet increased living costs, likewise was removed by the presidents action. If Director General Hines orders an increase in wages, since the railroad administration now is operating at a loss, either an advance in rates or a congressional appropriation will be necessary to provide the money. The fourteen principal railroad un- ions in a joint communication to the director general have suggested the latter.
 There was no indication tonight as to how MT. Hines would proceed to the settlement of the wage demands. 1 In view of the wage boards previous | consideration of the question, it was believed that new tribunal would be constituted for the purpose, with equal representation for labor, the railroads and the public.
