The railroads have contended that
abroghtion OF the national agreements
would mean big cut i'm their opera

w. y. Lauek. consulting economist
for the labor men however. declared
the real Issue was not the rules
themselves but what they concrete

recognition"
When this principle has reached
the boards sanction no further dis
turbances or acute controversies will
occur on the roads," Mr.. Lauck said.

Elaine Hansmerstein
Acts for Photoplay
On Fifth AUeHue

Early morning shopping crowds
on Fifth avenue unknowingly par
ticipated in one OF the most inn
portant scenes for Elaine Hammer
STEMS selznick picture. Poor Dear
Margaret Kirby" directed by WILL
lam p. s. Earle. which will be the
featured photodramatic attraction of
the vaudeville and attraction Of the
vaudeville and picture bill at the
strand Theater beginning tomor-
row. Scenes were made in front of
one of Fifth avenues most exclu-
sive florist shops and In front of
a Western Union office on Forty
secand street.
In order to escape the midday
throngs Of shoppers on the Avenue.
Director Earle took his company
down early in the morning. but the
attempt was hardly a success from
that standpoint. Already the Ave-
nue. was thronged with vehicles and
pedestrians. and IL was with much
difficulty that the crowds were held
IN check until the scenes could be
made. The sight of Miss Hammer
stein soon brought record crowds
to the place.
Later Director Earle shot a birth
day party scene in the studios. A
real birthday party luncheon was
served, which was enjoyed blythe
actors and actresses almost as much
as the privilege OF working with
Miss Hammerstein.
