RAILROAD STRIKE
ORDER ANNULLED
UNIONS FELT PUBLIC OPINION
FORMING AGAINST THEM
SOMETHING GAINED

Press dispatches sent from Chi
cago October 27 told of the settle
ment of the railroad strike there
that evening when the leaders of the
switchmen, trainmen, conductors.
engineers and firemen, at joint
meeting adopted resolutions with
drawing the authorization for a
strike.
Officials of the railroad telegraph
ers announced they would take sim
liar action. These are the only un-
ions authorized to strike.
The vote cancelling the strike or
der was adopted unanimously by
the organizations, w. G. Lee, presi-
dent of the trainmen, announced.
L. E. Sheppard, president of the
conductors, said the unions decided
to call off the strike because. Of a
growing public opinion that the
strike was directed against the
labor board and the government and
not the railroads. 1T is also evi-
dent while the WASHINGTON admin
istration is opposed to us, we have
little chance of gaining our object
ives" he said. eve called the strike
to gain certain rights to which the
men are entitled.
1T soon became evident, however,
the roads were succeeding in a mis-
leading propaganda to the effect we
were striking against the govern
ment This propaganda crept into
the labor board and this body told
US it would look on the strike as
against it and the government and
that the full force of the govern
ment would be brought to bear
against US if there was a walkout.
Under such circumstances there
was nothing to do but annul the or
der for a walkout.
Assurance by Board
The way was opened for settle
ment when Ben w. Hooper, public
member of the railroad labor board.
appeared before meeting of the
chiefs of the big five railroad
brotherhoods and made final plea
in which he gave assurance that no
more wage cuts or rule changes
would be authorized until the pend
ing cases are disposed of.
One result of the threatened
strike appears to have been accom-
plished in the way of an order by
sion to reduce freights on grain and
hay an average of 16 per cent in
the western half of the United
States. This will probably be put
into effect within the next 80 days.

GENUINE RUNAWAY
CAUGHT BY CAMERA

Picture players are frequently
called upon to risk real danger and
face impending peril in order to
make thrilling scenes for a film.
This point is clearly illustrated in
the Corinne Griffith production,
whats Your Reputation WORTH"
which will be shown at Liberty the
atre, next Thursday and Friday. In
one instance runaway scene is re-
quired. There is always real peril
in staging runaway and realism
requires no acting.
Corinne Griffith and her leading
man, Percy Marmont, were required
to take a sleigh ride through the
country on a winters evening. The
action calls for the horse to become
frightened at the noise and cheers
of coasting party who come around
curve and shoot Town a steep hill
in the direction of the horse. This
frightens the animal and it runs

The Theodore Roosevelt Inter

organization brought into being for
the purpose of creating suitable
memorial to one of Americas great
est builders and statesmen, and at
the same time promote tourist travel
to a section of the United States
that has had few tourists in the

As a memorial it is one of the
biggest projects ever launched and
is surrounded with great possibili-
ties for the future. It's length is
more than 1000 miles and it en-

downhill overturning the sleigh.
The scene was filmed in the Adj
rondack Mountains. Everything NOV
ed like clock work. The coasting par
ty came down the hill at a good
clip, and the cheers and speed in
darting past the horse really fright
ened it into running away. Both
players and. director was terrified as
the horse dashed madly down the
hill and overturned the sleigh at the
bottom. 1t seemed as though the
actors would be dashed to pieces be-
fore they could be rescued. Forum
ately, the sleigh overturned in
deep drift of snow landing the play
ers on bed as soft as though it
were made of feathers. Aside from
being frightened and somewhat
shaken up, Corinne Griffith and Per-
cy Marmont were uninjured.
The scene was caught by the cam
era and is shown as part of the in
tensely dramatic story of What's
Your Reputation Worth?"
