STATEMENT BY TROLLEYMEN'S
COMMITTEE
Putnam, Sept. 10, 1919.

Putnam, Sept. 10, 1919.
Several reports concerning the troll
ley strike have appeared In the col
umns of the local papers during the
past week One of these statements,
among others issued by officials of the
Shore Line Co, is to the effect that
the backbone of the strike is broken |!
The motive for putting such state
ments into print is evident to every
one-and of course it is not to de-
ceive the publicl No doubt the com
pany feels the backbone of the strike
should be broken in return for their
enormous expenditure of labor and
money to accomplish this result. Nine
weeks after the strike was declared
finds the company financially weaker
and continually growing weaker; the
rolling stock and overhead equipment
fast becoming antiquated; splendid
motor buss lines instituted to compete
with the trolleys; the patronage of the
trolley cars decimated to approx
mately one-third normal; the lines of
this center of disturbance extending
in serious form to adjacent territory
with it's serious reactions ever pres
emit; and public sympathy with and
confidence in the management of the
Shore Line Co. completely alienated.
Our organization is. stronger today in
numbers as well as in spirit than it
was when this issue began. Any
company who can now see ray of
sunshine or hope in such wreckage
must be wearing different kind of
spectacles from those he wore when
he pleaded so tenderly and so cum
ningly for State aid
We expect every person whose
saleable commodity is his or her labor
to demand fair play. We ask every
one who believes in justice to do his
"bit" to demand the Shore Line Co.
to settle this trouble by arbitration.
We asked arbitration at the start. we
seek arbitration now, and we will con-
tinue to demand arbitration until it is
obtained.

Charlie Chaplin million-dollar pic
ture, to be shown at the. Nogaies
theatre today picturizes his experl-
ences and difficulties as an average
American doughhoy. from the time
he enters the rookie" squad until
as finished product of military
training, he inyades Hunland and
captures the Imperial German Staff
with a method typically Yankee for
rovelty and surprise.
His feet get him into counties
oubles under the unsympathetic
:. e of his drill sergeant, and evea
after his advent into the front line
trenches he finds new complexities
in the management of a. rifle and
bayonet. Following numerous :ev-
periences in his dugout he yolars
teers for special spying missions
Camouflaged as a tree, he invades
enemy territory. A Hun woods
chopping party attempts to add him,
disguised as tree stump to its col-
lection, with disastrous results.
Charlie is finally captured in shell
torn French houses He makes his
escape by turning the tables on the
Germans, and, e. accompanied by the
French. girl who befriends him, he
seeks refuge in what proves to be
the headquarters of the General
Staff. The Kaiser, Crown Prince
and Won Hindenburg surprise him in
an attack on German officer, but
Charlie saves the day for himself
and the girl by wearing the uniform
of his unconscious victim.
He rescues his drill sergeant, also
captured by Huns, and together they
conspire to escape. Their plan brings
complete confusion to headquarters,
and shakes the German army to its
foundation.

 Now if we could be made to under stand wherein we would derive some benefits from thisi proposed annexa- tion we would readily change our minds and vote for it, otherwise you can count on every one of us stand ing united and voting agaist it. And yo ucan count further an aggres- sive organized fight in direct opposf- tion to this proposed annexation.
 | notice further, that it was stated that MT. Seward of the Short Leaf Lumber company favors the an Il. Xation. Now everybody knows that Mir. Seward and the whole of the Short Leaf Lumber company's plant is inside the City Limits. We thing, MT. Editor, that it is entirely prema- ture to annex these Rural Districts to the prosperous City of Pine Bluff and tax our people when we could not hope to get even a Policeman to pa trol these solitary forests amid the rearing sound of the thick pines. Yes, sir, we are against it.

OPPOSES ANNEXATION.

Pine Bluff, Ark, February 1, 1919. Editor of The Graphic,
 Sir:--I noticed in your columns very recently an article in regard to the annexation to the city of Pine Bluff, the territory one CD mile North, West and South of the City Limits and also, that there was no organized fight or protest against this annexation. by the citizens en- braced in that territory.
 For the benefit of all concerned. I wish to make a statement, voicing the sentiments of at least four-fifths (4-5) of the citizens ill that portion of the territory one CD mile West of the City Limits.
 In the first place we wish it fair- ly understood that we want to dc everything we can reasonably do to promote the interest of Pine Bluff and to boom and boost the city, in order to make it the Greater Pine Bluff which we want it to be. but in this instance it seems that the effort is being made tc annex us foi the ben eft of the city. witho@t any regard to our benefit whatever. We would be taxed in order to pay for the var ious improvements of the Citv, with. out any prospect of our getting any of the benefits of those improve ments
 For instance. when do you think the city would cut down and grade the streets out here in the woods "a mile west of the city limits or when electric light to illumine these deep tsngled wild-woods; or when could

Before he left the stage for the screen MT. Miller had 15 years of dramatic ex- perience, from many years in stock to leading roles in Broadway produc- tions under the management of Charles Frohman Daninil Frohman, and Henry B. Harris. In pictures Mir. Miller has produced such plays as, "A Corner in Coleelns," "Wee Lady Betty Princes of the Dark" "The Flame of the Yukon" "Polly Ann, and many others, and has justly earned his fame.
 Henry KolkSr, seen in the part of the ex-kaiser, Wilhelm II, has 20 years of stage experience of which were spent in annual appear ances on Broadway in leading roles.l MT.

"The House of Gold" and "The Silent Wo- man." !Mr. Kilgour is in such demand that he is often seen on the stage at the same time that he is busy in a Metro picture, as was tine case this season when he was playing in "Oh. Lady Lady," in the evenings and working at the Metro studios in the day time.
 The dear of Metro players. Frank Currier, plays the part of William Gordon Besides his stage career. which is one of not both here and abroad, he is a great favorite on the screen and has played opposite every Metro star. Mr. Currier. has been seen in such plays as '"The Great Ro- nance" with Harold Lockwood, 'Syl- via on a Spree" "To Hell With the Kaiser" featuring Lawrence Grant, Opportunity" "A Successful Adven- ture," and sSocial Hypocrites."

 Trevor Lonsdale, the artist-hero of the story, is quoted as fellows:
