In The Land Of Make Believe
By WALTER D. HICKMAN

This department has been requested
from time to time to estimate the gross
profits Of certain flrls. This is nearly
an impossible task for a dramatic or
movie critic to do. Yesterday received
from the George Loane Tucker people
list showing the estimated profits Of
some OF the big money making hlms. IL
this list, Mr.. fuckers representative
places the Tucker production Of The
Miracle Man" at the top Of the list with
total gross profits OF S2,475, 600 for
period ending Feb. 20, 1921.
Here is the Tucker list OF estimated
prohts and l use it only as a medium OF
answering many questions put to this
department.

play, 1.-The Servant in the House." in
which he scored success years ago.
This last piece will be offered but once
during the engagement, that being on
Friday night, which is Good Friday

the beautiful message Of symbolic Chris

Incidentally, Mr.. Hampton played in
this play for more than five hundred
times when originally presented, half Of
which number were in New York.

week will be Hamlet" Monday night

turned to the railroad standardization.

The strike call issued by execu-
tives of railway workers organiza-
tions terminates a continuous effort
on their part extending over a period
of nearly three years to secure
decent wages and maintain fair
working conditions for employees
During all that time they had patti
emily and vainly been pleading with
responsible railroad management to
meet them half way in negotiation
and conciliation.
"A recital of what has gone before
proves conclusively that at no time

an interruption Of transportation
must be placed squarely at their
doorstep.
- During the early months Of 1919
the several workers organizations,
through their executives, presented
demands, before, the United. States
Railroad Administration for wage in
creases that would place the rail
workers on a parity with workers in
other industries. It was generally
admitted at the time that the men
who had loyalty served the nation

President Wilson's Promise.
The question finally was presented
to President Wilson by the brother
hood executives. Recognizing =. the
economies of the situation, the union
officials informed the president that
they were not primarily asking for

In the event that the administration
was unable to afford relief, j the
unions would then demand that
workers pay be increased. sLs,

that nothing could or would be, done

stinging reply to those senators who

tisan agricultural bloc.

IS PRESS POLICY
IN STEEL STRIKE
TO Be REPEATED
Railroad Press Bureau Advises
Newspapers How to Handle
Railroad Strike.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.-Is the
steel strike policy Of {: large portion
of the public press to be repeated in
the event of a railroad strike?
A press bureau, with headquarters
in this city, gives this hint to news
papers on how to handle the strike
eGitorially:
Both the railroads and the en-
ployes have defied the United States
railroad labor board, created by
congress for the very purpose of
avoiding strikes. Where the fault
lies is hard for officials not in daily
touch with the situation to decide.
The fact is, both sides have con-
Quoted a continuous propaganda de-
signed to show that the initiative in
Ignoring the railroad labor board
lies with the other.
And while the quarrel has grown
more intense, while some of the rail-
roads on the one hand have goaded
the employees to strike by declaring
they were ready to deal a body blow
to unionisn, the employees, on the
other hand, have insisted that if they
take a cut in wages the rates must
come down for freight and passenger
service
The press bureau, it will be noticed,
makes specific charge against the
railroads, and then tries to neutra- =
lize it by the claim that employees
have defied the railroad labor boar!
by insisting that rate must be reduced
if wages are cut. The employees have
not taken this position.
But even if they did, how can this
be Construed as a defiance of the
railroad labor board? That board
has nothing to do with rates, this
being function of the interstate
commerce commission.
The article is a crude attempt to
mix the situation in the public mind
that the railroad owners may escape
scrutiny

BOARD DELIVERS
QUITO WORKERS
Declares That Capital Has First
Consideration IN Earnings
. Of Rail Carriers.

CHICAGO, Oct. 27.-A wage cut Of
20 per cent was authorized in an
award handed down today effecting
engineers, motormen. firemen, con-
ductors and brakemen of the Electric
Short Lines Railway company running
between Minneapolis and Hutchinson,
MINI Employees on this line had pre-
viously accepted reductions equivalent
to ~ per! cent increase granted by the
board in 1920" The reduction is re-
troactive to October. 16,, and il an e.
fort to- save the road from bank
ruptcy, "->'''.., ,''r:.'
This: is' the first time the board has
taken into consideration the finan-
cial condition of carrier In making
a4wage reduction, and therby estab-
fishes a precedent whereby the work
ers become the victims Of inefficient
management by g. ruling Of q. consti-
,tuted government authority. They
are to get only the dregs of industry:
: Present rates of pay which the board
has cut. 20 per cent are: Conductors,
engineers, and motormen, 62A cents
an hour; firemen, SIN cents; brake
men, 56A cents;
In an addendun the board decided
that Decision No. 222. regarding the
seven overtime rules to replace those
in the national agreement should ap-
ply to seven other roads and their SUBJ
salaries and their employees. Included
in the carriers effected by the adden-
dunn are the Central New England,
the Southern Pacific (Pacific system)
and the Southern Pacific lines in Tex
as and Louisiana.
The board began hearings in the
Pennsylvania case Thursday, October
20, on refusal of the road to comply
with an order for a new election of
representatives to joint conference to
fix rules and working conditions. The
company ignored the ruling Of the
board and appointed hand-picked rep
tesentatives from among the road $
shop and maintenance employees.
The Railway Employees Department
are represented at this hearing and
insist that the Pennsylvania be again
ordered to comply with the provisions
Of the transportation
