in New York and simultaneously, an- other company. has been playing for a year in Chicago. This Is absolute ly without precedent in the theatre.
 The success of The Bat" is un- doubtedly due to the fact that 1t appeals to all classes of theatre goers. It Is thrilling and at the same time screamingly funny. Staged. with all the skill of Wag- nhals and Kemper, master hands at reducing stage successes, the play,

 sill bs an exceptionally capable company.

 that in view of such action on the part of the company there appeared to be nothing left for the men to do ! but to submit the whole matter to the membership for their information In voting upon the wage reduction which had been put into effect July l."
 We desire to inform all of our em- ployes that the action here attributed to the management is not in accord with the facts. Many employees know and all of them should know. that the management did not present the question of the wage reduction to the United States railroad labor board until after it had given notices to the representatives of It's employees and held conferences with such rep resentatives in exact conformity with the provisions of the transpor- tation act of 1920. Those represen- tatiVes having rejected the Hropos- also made to them by the management tho provisions of the transportation act were observed In submitting dis putes to the United States railroad labor board. Furthermore, when those disputes were heard by the United States railroad labor board, at which hearing your representa- tives were present and were heard, there was no suggestion that there had been any failure upon the part of the management of this company to confer in good faith with the rep ressBtatives of It's employees in an effort to agree, and thereby avoid the necessity of submitting the mat ter to the labor board.
 20 Ped Cent Increase
 By its decision NO. 2. effective May 1, 1920, the labor board granted an increase averaging about 22 per cent in the w8ges of railroad em- ployes to be added to the increased wages established during federal con trqk The manag ement accepted that decision. After a very complete in- vestigation of the conditions that then existed, labor board found that decreases were Justified and required and by it's decision 147, effective July l, 1921, authorized a reduction in wages of approximately 12 per cent, thereby taking off only part of the increases granted by 1t in 1920. Ihat decision is a comparatively slight modification of the emple wage increase made to meet wartime conditions, and in all fairness-to the company. to the railroad employees themselves and as between them selves and other wage earners and the public in general-should be ac- cepted without questions
 Your sense of right and fairness, your loyalty to the Louisville and Nashville Railroad company, your own Judgment of your duty to the public, to your country and its laws, should. and I believe will, cause you to Join in the prevention of situa- tion that may become deplorable not only tho at Io more particularly to you and others i'll the service of the company.
 Me management requests and ex- poets It's employees to continue in the performance of their duties, and gives to all those who do so It's as- surance of continued employment in the company's service. Yours very truly.

hIPLING's "WITHOUT BENEFIT OF RGY"-ALCAZAR


 On, east Is east, and west fs west
 And never the twain shall meet :"
 u. -Kipling.
 These are the immortal words that brought to life the beautiful story of Rudyard Kipling, without Benefit or Clergy" the screen production of which IS now showing at the AIca- gar. This wonderfully accurate pro- uuction strikes the same note of hu- man woe, love and happiness that was struck in the famous story. Kipling nlmseif said that there are few loves as happy as those snatched beneath the sword, and though there is ever n shadow. an intuitive feeling that 1t will not last. the love Is but made more intense by 1t. This is the kind or love of which Kipling tells in his Without Benefit of Clergy"
 There Is an underlying thought that runs through this Kipling pie ture that makes every scene doubIy dramatic. It Is the thought of the in- evitabie end of the relation of the woman of India and the English en- sineer. Both characters are wonder fully acted and in this respect they both convey their intuitive fear that 1t canot last, the idea of a shadow over their live, which must suffer in the end for it's unconventionality, to his customs at least, and for their widely diverging origins.
 The producers of without Benefit of Clergy" have given the story a carefully detailed production. The picture fairly breathes the spirit of India and Indian customs. even down to the ways in which the turbans are tied to denote caste. It Is truly great picture, most especially so for those who have already grown to love the story.

Directors of the Department of Pub
lie Safety held a. lengthy conference
yesterday afternoon with committees
representing some of the volunteer
fire companies on the question of the

meeting, all parties concerned were
agreed on the prices proposed for
whatever equipment the directors de-
sire TO buy from the volunteers. Def

that the committees have to go back
to their respective companies and pre-
sent the proposition and secure ap-

PLANS TO WORK ABROAD
Former Delaware Hospital Ply
sician Today Sailed From

DIR. Cyrus Zimmerman, formerly of
the Delaware Hospital staff sailed to-
day, as a member of a party OF three,
who have volunteered their services
for two years to the Near East Relief,
Americas official organization for car
rying on in the Near East.
The fact that there is a war. or
several wars going on in Turkey, the
country for which he is starting, is
only an added incentive. II means
that there is all the more demand for
the thousands of refugees who are
thronging the American relief sta
tions hungry, sick from exposure and
exhaustion and in many cases diseased
and wounded.
Its wonderful opportunity for
doing manitarian work and at the
same time gaining most voluable ex-
perience." said DIR. Zimmerman just
before his departure. Particularly
is it of value in that there are so
many critical situations TO be met
Medical supplies and equipment are
of course, limited. and a doctor or
surgeon has to make the best OF wnat
materials he has at hand and to act
quickly, with no one to advise him. ]
