GEORG|AMINSTRELS PLEASE GAP PACITY
 AUDIENCE AT ELKS

When it comes to minstrels. there are none like the genuine colored min strels. They have got all the other kind beaten before they start.
 If you don't believe it ask anyone of the capacity audience at the Elks theater last night. The Georgia Minstrels were there and what they didn't give in the way of an old time minstrel show in an up-to-date dress isn't to be given. The people went there to be entertained, and they were not disappointed. From start to fin ish there isn't 6 dull minute.
 The Georgia Minstrels have been in Phoenix before-this same company. They have given good shows, but this years show is far better than the one brought here the last time. There are better voices, and the whole makeup is far better than last year.
 There's something about colored minstrel show that appeals to a red blooded person who likes pep and ginger and male singing voices and dancing feet. Anyway, it appealed to several hundred folk at the Elks the ater last night, who laughed and ap- plauded every number on the long program from the opening ensemble of the old time first part circle to the finale.
 The six end men shared honors equally and so did the solo singers in the first part; all have good voices and all can dance, they sure can dance. Some clever speciality num- bers are given in the second part, in cluding Ed Tolliver. called the de stroyer of sorrow" Coy Herndon hoop manipulator; Charles and Duke Johnson, fashion plates of minstrel cy;'' Allie Johnson, the monkey on the sire Johnny Woods, ebony king of ventriloquism, and the closing number, Troubles Ahead"
 The music is very good and the cost tunes flashy. There will be another show tonight and the Elks theater will undoubtedly be crowded.

 '"The government can prevent the strike by taking over the railroads, and this is what will happen even tually," he said. He also issued statement covering the mems posi- tions and their reasons for striking.
 MT. Stone made public the four groups of roads on which the strike is scheduled to begin, the first group going out at a. m., Sunday, Oct. 30, and the others in 48 hour periods thereafter The Pennsylvania is one of the last to be hit. No explanation was given for this action.
 It also was explained that all or ganizations in some of the roads in group four are not officially author ized to strike. some organizations not casting the necessary 66 2-3 vote In favor of the walkout.
 The ''big five" leaders expect. how ever, that all organizations on such roads will follow the general walkout, being influenced to join the strike by seeing their brothers quit.
 MT. Stone said he believed the rail- roads want a strike" and that fur ther reduction in wages is much less | desirab ble to the railroad executives than the abrogation of rules and reg l ulations.
 "The railroad executives can set l tie the dispute or the United State. government can prevent a strike, MT i Stone declared. Taking over th' railroads is the most effective way il which the government can avert th' strike scheduled for Oct. 30.
 If it had been a question of wag' reductions only there would hays beel no strike. I have from 75 to 100 let l ters giving instances of attempts b! | different railroads to break down th' working rules that have been secured by arbitration, by decisions of th' railroad labor board and in othe ways The railroads can settle tn strike by the elimination of thes' | conditions and withdrawal of thei request for a further 10 per cent wag' reduction.''
 The 'big five' chiefs or their rep resentatjves will convene tomorrow t consider strike matters.
 The strike will not affect the so | called short line railroads, it was eX plained by w. G. Lee. president of tn Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmer
 inasmuch as they were not affecte by the wage increase and reduction
 in which the large roads figured.

Lehigh Valley; Nashville, Chatta- nooga and St. Louis.
 Wording of the circular covering railroads in group four follows:
 The membership on all other roads to which decision No. 147 ap- piled, and upon which railroads two or more of organizations have re- ceived the necessary majority for a strike vote; the organizations which did not receive the necessary vote are not included"
 The entire Pennsylvania system is included in group four which is scheduled to leave the service at 6 a. m., Nov. ,. No explanation was available as to why this large trunk line system was placed in the final group.
 It was explained that some organ iZations on lines included in group four did not register a majority in favor of the strike, consequently members of those organizations vot- ing against the strike are not in- cluded in the strike authorization. However, the organization chiefs expect there will be practically a general walkout of those organiza- tions when the other organizations which voted for the strike. leave the service of those lines at the desig- mated time.

 ferred to the labor board resulting in IF per cent reduction as of July 1.
 "To further aggravate the situa- tion. immediately following this meeting a great number of the rail- roads served notice on their employees that they would revise a schedule and take from them rules governing their service that had been in effect for from 10 to 30 years. The ma jority of such rules were the result of negotiations with representatives of the organizations and the mana gers of the individual railroads and acknowledged to be fair and equi-l table.
 "A conference of all general chair men was arranged to be held in July in Chicago. The result was to in- struct executives of the organizations to meet executives of the railroads prior to September l. for the purpose of trying to bring about an ami cable adjustment. This was done and a committee of railroad executives were met in the east. southeast and western territories, their answers all being similar and denying any con- ciliatory measures. Following the refusal of the executives of the rail ways to enter into any agreement with the executives of the organiza- tion. there was nothing left to do but refer the matter to referendum vote of the workers. In October the rep resentatives of the workers were convened in Chicago and canvass of the vote was made which indicated 94 per cent plus were in favor or withdrawing from the service Such a condition was never known before in the history of railroad labor and m douht was caused by the arro- gant, selfish attitude of the railroad executives together with their declin- : ation to be a party to any concilla- tory terms
