GAY BROADWAY'S

Settlement of Actors Strike Lifts
Dark Cloud That Has

New York. Sept. 6.-New York's
great White Way" blazed forth
Saturday night after the partial
eclipse caused by the 30-day war be-
tween thespians 'and managers,
which ended early Saturday. Many
of the closed theaters were unable
to arrange for reopening Saturday
night, but all announced that per-
formances would be resumed early
next week.
According to the claims of the va
rious parties to the war, it ended in
victory for everybody. The Ac-
tors Equity association and the
Chorus Equity association were tri-
umphant because they gained rec
ognition; the managers pointed with
pride to the fact that provision for
an open shop" was included in the
treaty of peace and the Actors FL
deity league, which supported the
managers, proclaimed its satisfac-
ton that it was also recognized.

this section was insufficient to
overcome the enormous lead of his
opponent in the upper end.
The vote was light, less than
one-fifth of the registered ballot

polls. This was expected in view
of the fact the Republican ticket
provided the only contest.
In Moline, Searle received only
81 votes as compared with 1885
for Bell, but in Rock Island he was
the favorite in the race with 94S

the rural precincts as a whole by
a majority of about 200, but this
was all gained in the upper end. In
