to keep through trains running. ram
men on the Hudson tube, connecting
New Jersey and New York, also
walked out.
Railroad managers and representa-.
tives Of the railroad brotherhoods, who
were fighting the trump" strike, de-
ciare6 they expected TO be able to
break the strike today. They announc-
cd that several crews which were
first to strike in Chicago had returned q
TO work.
Estimates placed the number Of men
out at not more than 25,0 600.
Thousands Of men were thrown out
of work by closing down Of industrial
plants unable to obtain fuel or raw
material.
While the food supply in practical
" all cities affected by the strike was
reported sufficient to last until the
latter part Of next week, a serious
shortage was predicted in case the
strike is not broken by that time.
Food prices were raised in some
sections in anticipation Of shortage.
Dealers reported that practically the
only food received in New York today
was milk. Employees Of milk compa-
MES took the place Of the yardmen
in UNLOADING cars. Fear was express
ed that the entire milk supply would
be cut off tomorrow, as result OF the

PLAN TO SAVE
 HARTFORD HOME
 OF MARK TWAIN

Hartford, March 10.---To save the greatest literary center of the state of Connecticut from the dissertation that will overtal1e it if it is wrecked and an apartment house built on it's site is the aim of the Artists Club of Hartford. This organization is to hold a meeting this afternoon to formulate plans for a campaign which will em- brace all parts of the country where there resides one admirer of Mark Twain, Americas great humorist. The recent announcem ment of the new own CTS of the property is that they pro- pose to wreck the house about which clusters all the sacred memories of the great literary artist who is not alone American, but who, through the beauty of his work has swayed the world from laughter to tears. In the place of Mark Twain's home will rise a modern apartment which will never, at the height of it's value, replace where, from the facile pen, came the glorious sparkling adventure of the real American boy, 'FHuck Finn" These are the contentious of those who seek to keep for Hartford, an other of it's landmarks about which history clusters and probably the most universally known of these landmarks which have thus far escaped desecra- ton.

His interpretation of Mark Twain's ''Tom Sawyer dem onstrated that his talents in comedy fines were decidedly pronounced. La ter, starring in "BiIl Apperson's Boy,'' he proved himself able to handle the most delicate dramatic situations.
