ACTORS STRIKE AFFECTS
- MORE PLAY HOUSES
Brady Threatens to Join Be-
lasco and Cohan in Retiring
From Producing Fsld.

! New York, Aug. 19.-Every New
York theater operated by members
of the Producing Managers associa-
tion may be dark tonight. Five more
attractions were forced to close last
night as a result of the stage hands
and musicians going out, only three
houses operated by the strike bound
managers remaining open. Employees
in these houses declared they would
strike this afternoon.
The latest theaters to close are
the Selwyn. the Astor, the Forty
eighth Street and the New Amster-
dam Roof, where a double bill has
been playing. .--
William A. Brady, one of Americas
best known producers, announced he
would join David Belasco and George
M. Cohan in retiring from the pro-
ducing field If the strike is won by
the actors.
The Lexington theater was packed
to the doors last night when the Ac-.
tors Equity association, which is
promoting the actors strike, held the
first of series of benefits.
Many of the country's foremost
stars were ON the stage. Ed Winn
was served with an injunction, pre-
venting his appearance on the ground
that it would violate his contract
calling for his exclusive service. He
took part in the performance from a
seat in the orchestra.

STREET CAR STRIKERS
GET INCREASE OF WAGE
EIGHT HOUR DAY TO BE
ARBITRATED.
New York Street Car Service
Resumed With Old Men
on Platforms.

New York, Aug. 19.-New York's
transit strike, which had held the
citys travelling public in the grip Of
unprecedented congestion since Sun
day morning. ended early today and
traffic Is once more normal on the
subway and elevated lines.
The settlement gives the strikers
a wage increase of rs per cent. and
assures all the men who went out
their old jobs back. Other questions
in dispute, chiefly the eight hour
day. will be arbitrated. The men de-
manded a so per cent. increase in pay
when they struck.
Service was resumed shortly after
midnight and by the time the morn
ing rush was in full blast all trains
were running.
Despite the settlement. the double
investigation OF the strike by District
Attorney Swami, of New York coun-
ty. and District Attorney Martin, of
Bronx county, began today with a
large number of witnesses on hand.
The investigation centers upon the
allegation that the officials of the
Interborough Rapid Transit company
and leaders of the brotherhood were
in collusion and that the strike was
to be capitalized by the company in
its fight for an Scent fare.
One woman was killed and sixty
were injured as the result of the traf-
flo accidents due to the strike tie up.

ANNEXATION MOVE
German Troops Successfully
Check Poles in Ad-

Berlin, Aug. 1S.-(Delayed.)- Ger
man troops have suppressed an abor-
tive attempt by bands of armed Poles
to annex Upper Silesia to Poland by
force, said dispatch from Posen to-
day The Poles were expecting to
receive support from the regular
Polish army under Gen. Haller, 1t
was stated.
There have been many bloody en-
counters between the Poles and the
Germans in upper Silesia. 1t is
charged that a number OF German
officers and soldiers were seized by
the Poles and put to death.
A general uprising in Upper Silesia
as climax to the numerous disor-
ders that have occurred throughout
the district was planned for today
by Polish organizations, according to
dispatches. Polish troops are re-
ported on their way to support the
military, which has been attempting
to restore order.
The strike Of many industries
which virtually paralyzed industry
for time is reported by other dis
patches to have become less effec-
tive. Most of the miners are voting
to discontinue it,

TIME LIMIT NOT
APPLICABLE.
Lowry Says All Registered In
Present Registration Can :
vote on Convention.
DISAGREES WITH STRANG
Believes Five Thousand Have
Registered in Coy-ty
to Date.

It is the opinion Of J. J Sr. Lowry.
secretary of the Hami n county
election commission, tn Severy citi-
zen of Hamilton coup who regis
ters in the present r ;stration can
vote in the constitut al convention
election. ~
Mr.. Lowry stated lat he had not
studied the laws, bu5.he had been ad-
vised offhand that the registration
laws were not passed to prevent peo-
pie from voting in elections, but to
make 1t possible that citizens should
participate in all elections.
The law states that before citizen
shall participate in any election he
shall register twenty days before the
election. However, 1t is not thought
by Mr.. Lowry that this means in
cities or counties where general
registrations are in progress. which
is the case in Hamilton county at
present. In other words, where THE
law says twenty days before an elec-
tion, it is meant for supplemental
registrations and not the general
registrations.
Mr.. Lowry, however, is not agreed
with in his opinion by County At
torney s. Barlow Strang. who has
held that before a citizen can partici-
pate in any election he must register
twenty days before he votes. Mr..
Strang. in a written opinion, has held
that Friday was the last day for citi-
zens to register who wished to par
ticipate in the constitutional conven-
tion election. In Nashville and other
cities it has been held that those who
registered on Saturday could vote in
the constitutional convention election.
However, there are many lawyers
who say that any man who registers
in the general registration even on
next Thursday, the last day of the
registration, can vote in the conven-
tion election. However, the law will
be tested out before any one is de-
prived of his right to vote on the
constitutional convention.

PAPERS CRITICISE
PREMIER'S SPEECH
Post Characterizes Attitude as
"Micawber" Policy, or Dis
honest COMPROMISE.

London. Aug. 19.-There was a
note of dissatisfaction in the COM
ment OF many of the newspapers to-
day on the warning speech" of Pre-
mier Lloyd George in the house of
commons yesterday.
The governments course. outlined
by the premier, was declared by the
Morning Post as a "Micawber poll
ICY" The Morning Post regarded the
whole affair as dishonest compro-
mise.
On the other hand. the Chronicle
says that the speech takes the stuff
ing out of the feared panic"
According to the Daily Mail 10
Northcliffe newspaper). the speech
leaves the people still in the dark.
THE most serious omission was
the failure to recognize the strength
of the demand for a reduction OF ex-
penditures in practically all depart
ments of the government" said the
Daily Telegraph. THE people want
to see retrenchment in high places"
The Times called the speech dis
jointed and lacking in method"
Omission Of reference to Ireland
was remarked on by several newspa-
perz
