Maine farmers and shippers, Com

Maine Central Lays
Off 600 Repair Men
for Two Weeks

Men in the mechanical department
of the Maine Centrals repair shops
numbering about 600 have been noti-
fed that effective at once there will
be a shut down for two weeks in the
repair crews. This is effective at
Waterville, South Portland and the
Thompson Point shops.
Sufficient men will, however. be
kept on duty to care for any emer-
gency work that may be necessary
during the period. Crews will also be
held in service to perform the usual
roundhouse duties.
This action is in line with many OF
the other railroads throughout the
country. The Boston & Maine ana
the New York, New Haven & Hart
ford railroads have already shut
down many of their important shops.
The chief repair shops of the Maine
Central are located at Waterville and
it is there where the larger number
of men will be released from duty.
The railroads report that there has
been a large slump in earnings and
that passenger traffic is light and
therefore ITO retrenchment policy has
been deemed advisable until such
time as earnings show an increase.
/ On the Boston & Maine and the
Maine Central considerable number
of trainmen and firemen have been
temporarily dropped and some of the
engineers have been set back to fire.

in his newest photoplay, "Reputa-

another great screen triumph.
The remarkable performance OF

Canaan" Scenario is
ApprOvedbv Author

The filming of Booth Tarkington's
Conquest of Canaan" which comes
to the Colonial theatre today, is an
other example of the close co-opera-
ton of the author and producer, a
new procedure in motion picture
making recently inaugurated by the
Paramount Company. Although the
continuity for the photoplay was
written by Frank Wright futile, Mr..
Harrington revised the script, adding
many pertinent suggestions which
helped to catch the proper atmos-
phere.
Mr.. Harrington went through the
scenario scene by scene at his home
and made notes where he thought
changes would improve the picture.
He suggested changing the charac-
ter of Judge Pike" one of the
principal figures in the book, and
made other alterations which he
said would strengthen the story
materially.
Director r. William Neill fol-
lowed Mr.. Tarkington's ideas to the
letter in filming the scenes for the
picture. Mr.. .Meighan's support in
cludes such we'll known players as
Doris Kenyon, leading woman, Di-
ana Allen, Ann Egleston, Alice
Fleming, Paul Everton, Louis Hend-
ricks and Riley Hatch.
There is also the usual comedy
and news in addition to the Con
quest of Canaan" while the Colo
NAL theatre orchestra has a spe-
cial, haunting musical score. TIE
