WAGE INCREASE)
THE INCREASE is so PER CENT
OF THE AMOUNT ASKED
FOR.

Chicago, July 20.-The United
States railway labor board today
awarded to nearly two million organ

totaling six hundred million dollars.
The increase amounts to approx
mately twenty one per cent Of the
present wage scale.

active to May 1st, this year. The de-
cision grants the workers approxi-
mately sixty per cent of the billion
dollar increases they sought. Presi-
dents of all the leading brotherhoods
and representatives of the railroad
managers were present when the de-
cision was made public.
Whether an award on the basis re-
ported would be acceptable to the men,
no union officer last night was pre-
pared to say. Nearly 1000 brother
hood chairmen and executives held an
all-day session to discuss union af-
fairs and adjourned until this morn

port.
Feeling of pessimism was evident
when the union leaders met yester-
day and privately they did not hesi-
tate to declare that a general strike
was a possibility. However, it was
virtually certain that the unions them
selves would not call strike, but
would submit the question of accept

referendum.

PLAZA.

Three shows at the Plaza theatre today closes what is known as a good a1l-around vaudeville and photoplay program. The feature picture is 'The Stolen Kiss with the new Norma Talmadge of the screen, Constance Binney. tFThe Stolen Kiss is an ab- sorbing drama and comedy, touched with flashes of pathos. It is the story of little Brooklyn girl, Felicia Day, who is kept in sheer ignorance of the simplest things in life by her mis- guided but really affectionate grand father. The story hinges upon the ef- fort of the girl, who is called Little MisS-by- -the-Day' because she hires out by the day as a seamstress, to recover the ownership of her home and to find her boyhood sweetheart from whom she has been separated. Miss Binney really has three roles in cast supporting her.
 The vaudeville bill is headed by Catalano Williams and Company in a novelty song and piano offering en- titled "Courtship in Songs.'' Other acts on the bill are Lamont and Wright, a pair of dainty misses in sin ging and musical offering; Chase and Latour in the comedy offering, Pink Stockings; .Keeler and Burnet in a novelty offering entitled up in the Air-Down to the Floor" Charlie Chaplin in '"The Rink and Interna- tional News are also shown.

 Mary Ann Dentler, the leading woman, who does not lay claim to being a Sarah Bernhardt, does ex- cellent work. Arthur Chatterdon, the leading man, carries off the part assigned him to much applause Jack McGrath and Rose Ludwig car ry away the show in a duet and the imported specialists add much to the excelIence of the production.
