LYRIC BILL GETS BETTER EVERY ACT THIS HALE
BY EsTEII.E nETHEA HALE

Beginning at a rather slow tempo the Lyric vaudeville bill for this half surprises the audience by winding u7 with some of the most pleasing acts in vaudeville. It is a fact that tho last three acts could not be better, with one especially, The Traffic Cop" simply bringing down the house with more strenuous ap- plause than is usually accorded to any act whatever.
 "The Traffic Cop" is presented by three vaudeville artists, as a "cop," a girl from Amster dam" New York and a girl of chicken" type. The act is filled with song and jest and fine humor in situation and dancing. There is something simply irresist- able about Eulalie Young, the comic character from Amsterdam, and prac- tically every move she makes or word she speaks brings laughs. The "cop" is also very successful artist and full of the breeziness that the type requires.
 Another fine offering is the humor- ous skit, "A Doorstep Romeo" which is take-off on a certain boring type whose lovemaking consists mostly of self-praise and lasts about all night This idea is filled in with song and dance and the act altogether is one

 During the war the packing plants operated under the Alschuler agree ment, all disputes being referred to Federal Judge Samuel Alschuler of Chicago for arbitration. This agree ment was extended for a year after the war and expired on September 1 g.
 The strike order brought to eli max controversy between the pack CTS and union workmen extending over three months.
 At that time four of the Dig fivep packers, Armour and company, Will son and company, Swift and company and the Cudahy Packing company in- augurated a system of plant confer ences and stated their intention of dealing directly with their employees through the medium of conferences between representatives of the em- ployes and the packers.

 Months Controversy
By Associated Press

Chicago, December IA strike of all union packing house employees in all plants where wage reductions were put into effect last Monday was ordered for December by the execu- tive committee of the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butcher Workmen of North America today.
 The strike, which affects all union crafts employed in the packing in dustry. will involve about 45OO0 workers in IF western cities, accord ing to Cornelius Hayes president of the Butcher Workers union.
 Dennis Lane. secretary of the union, tonight issued the following stat0- ment on the action of the executive committee:
 "All attempts to negotiate a fair adjustmen ent of wage rates by offering an agreement providing for arbitra- ton between the packers and the em- ployes have failed. The joint execu- tive committee representing all in- ternational unions affected do now advise in accordance with the strike vote of the rank and file, that all packing house employees in all plants where wage reductions were arbitrar- fly ordered into effect Monday No- vember 2S, or any date thereafter, cease all work at o'clock Monday morning, December g."
 There are about 10000 union work men employed by the "big five" pack CTS and about 10000 union workers employed in smaller packing plants, according to President Hayes. Ac- cording to MT. Hayes figures, there are approximately 45,000 organized

and successful engagements in New York, Boston, Philadelphia and Chi cago, where it's runs were extended so many times that its first general road tour had to be postponed until this season. In fact, the success of "Lombardi Ltd" has been so closely associated with the remarkable per- sonal hit scored by MT. Carrillo in the star role that it's producer has considered it inadvisable to attempt the manifold road company plan of showing 1t about the country at any time since its original New York suc- cess was established.
 The charm of "Lombardi Ltd." and what has made it so successful is at tributed everywhere MT. Carrillo ap- pears in it, to his own scintilating performance in the leading role MT. Morosco had to take this pronounce ment into serious consideration when the matter came up as to whether or not to organize and send out ad- ditional companies at the time the New York run had reached it's height, as he had done successfully in the case of his Peg O My Heart" which had no greater vogue in New York than did his "Lombardi Ltd" It was then decided to hold the latter for MT Carrillo's exclusive use.
