Union Men Demand

Two of the big trucks hauling gravel

on the Pacific highway near the Burk

erably damaged. One truck, driven bv
Newton Howe, was loaded with gravel
and the other was light, The man driv-
ing the latter truck claims his steeringn
gear failed TO work and that he could
not prevent the truck from colliding
with the one driven by Howe
II appears that the truck claimed to
have the defective steering gear was

the day before the collision occurred.
1t is also intimated that all these mat

no one is openly accused of deliberate

CONSIDER SPREAD OF
STRIKES TO CARRIER

(By Associated Press)

PITTSBURGH, Sept. 24.-Interest in
the nationwide steel strike, which has
been in progress since last Monday
centers today in the meeting here OF
the National committee for organizing
iron and steel workers. Those in close
touch with the strike are of the opin-
lon that the session called by William
f. Foster, secretary treasurer Of the
committee, will bring out important
facts relating to the walkout of the
thousands of workers which needed
the call of their leaders.
Mr.. Foster declares that the commit
tee will not consider peace plans" but
will discuss the advisability of extend
ing the strike to include seamen on
the Great Lakes carrier vessels and
union trainmen. The question of fl
nancing the strike will come up and
Mr.. Foster says he will bring to the
attention of the committee the "un-
provoked assaults" by state troopers
on strikers. According to the secre-
tary the union is preparing for long
struggle, and he declares the workers
will fight to the bitter end"

Artists Give Performance
In Competition With New
Edison at Washington

A miracle concert was the joint
recital at the Washington last eve
ming by Amy Ellerman and the Elem
ing Sisters Trio. Not one Miss FL .
herman but two sang to the audience;
and the instrumental selections were
played by the Fleming Sisters Trio.
In the midst of Miss Ellerman's in
itial number on the program, her lips
ceased to move, but her song went
on. Again, she sang, and the audience
only knew it was the living Miss Ell
herman, because of the motion Of her
lips. Her lips Ceased-but her voice
continued. For the tones which come
from the photograph matched those
from the living artist so perfectly that
ii was impossible to detect any diff
erence. The instrument produced not
an echo or copy, but the real thing.
The Fleming Sisters Trio shared
the stage with their fellow musician,
the New Edison. And they played in
unison with the Recreation Of their
art Only by watching them could
one know when they, the living ar
fists were being heard alone and when
their music came in double measure.
The recital was arranged by Mr..

The climax Of the concert came with
the darkening Of the room during one
of Miss Ellerman's selections. The
audience depended upon its powers
of hearing alone.
Everyone became more and more
convinced that no instrument could
sing as this voice was singing. Sud
denly the lights were snapped on.
Miss Ellerman was not there at all.
