say the managers, although
there had been readjustments before
in other phases of their business to
meet present conditions.
Next week a national convention of
theatrical managers will be held in
New York, at which about nine hun
dred managers are expected to attend.
1t is planned to deal not only with the
present disagreement with musicians
and stage hands, but with various con-
ditions which just now are troubling
theatrical men throughout the country.
According to statement issued by
Henry V. Donnelly, secretary of the
Musical Protective Union, there are
about 5000 musicians affiliated with
the organization, of whom about 5000
are employed in the theeters of the
city. Donnelly insists that the mana
gers had asked the men to accept cut
of 10 per cent. The managers say that
the proposed reduction was only for %
pei cent and that the men, refusing
fatty to recognize any reduction, pro-
posed instead an increase of 81 a week
in the vaudeville houses, with request
for one day off each week and 50 an
hour for all rehearsals. They also de-
manded that a musician employed for
two weeks be retained for year, &C
cording 10 the managers.
1t was pointed out by one of the man
ayers that, as the union had been ex-
PEELED recently from the American Fed
Grafton of Musicians. the former viii
get no assistance whatever from the
national body. On the contrary, man.
ayers expect much help from the fed
Grafton in getting employees to fill the
places of the strikers.

Contractor Seeks
Army of Workers,
But Gets Only Two
Bronxville Builder Tells
of Jobs While Labor
Agents Speak ON the
Unemployment Situation

While representatives of trade unions
were haranguing a small group of idle
workers at Fifth Avenue and 10th
Street yesterday on the great scarcity
of jobs and seriousness of the general
unemployment situation a Bronxville
contractor announced that he had been
trying for two months to obtain an
army Of workers for large operations
in his neighborhood, but that he could
only get one Or two men up to date.
THE men apparently prefer to
loaf" said the contractor, Oliver M
Oaks, of the Bronxvile Building Sup
ply Company. II have had advertise
ments running in New York papers for
ers, moulding machine men. bench
hands and mechanics of all kinds, and
received only one reply, and that
from man in Chester, Pa. We pay
the regular union wages. l can't un-
derstand it. Where is that army of
unemployed? If they need work and
want to work why don't they show up !!
"There are loads of other opportuni-
ties here. There are numerous other
building operations going on around.
think that the action of union dele
gates in this community has something
to do with keeping men away, but we
have had one man come here from
Waterbury, Conn, seventy miles away,
for job. The people ought to be told
the other side of this unemployment
situation, and that is that those who
are yelling the most about lack of
work are doing the least to find it,
Many of the labor bodies involved in
my operations--I'm building twenty
houses at the present moment-have
been informed of the opportunities s
here, and yet l have to go begging for
workers. AS a matter Of fact, l had to
give out a large quantity of work to
mills in Connecticut"
About 100 persons attended the
open-air discussion on the unemploy-
ment situation. The group was ad-
dressed by Jack Bradon, chairman of
the Unemployment Council of New
York and secretary of the Anal
gamated Metal Workers of America,
with offices at Z East Fifteenth Street.
Bradon said the trade unions asso-
ciated with the council were not mem
bers of the American Federation of
Labor. He pointed out that the un-
employment situation will reach 9ts
gravest stage this winter and that the
people are then going to demand either
work or compensation.

When Managers Put 20
p. c. Wage Cut in Effect
Leaders Claim Lock-Ou
Mechanical Organs To Be
Used i'm Some Places; Out
siders Will Be Employed

More than l 800 members of the Mu
sical' Mutual Protective Union, who
furnish the musical part of the enter
1tanment in the moving picture and
vaudeville houses of the city, quit their
jobs at midnight last night. Those en-
ployed in the vaudeville houses, how
ever, will not go out until the conclu-
sion of to-night's programs.
The musicians refuse to accept 20
per cent reduction in pay announced by
the theatrical managers two weeks ago
There was no interference with last
nights performances at the moving
picture houses along Broadway, the
musicians merely signifying their inten-
ton not to return when they were paid
off at the end of the day. The union
leaders call it a lockout. The mana
gers regard it as a strike, pointing to
the vote of the employees on Friday
night to refuse to work under the new
scale.
Among the more important moving
picture houses affected along Broadway
are the Rialto, Rivoli, Capitol, Strand,
Criterion and the Strand in Brooklyn.
The vaudeville houses affected are the
Fox and Loew theaters, the Keith, Moss
aid Brill and Proctor circuits, includ-
ing in all about 100 moving picture and
The vaudeville houses are expected
to have a harder time of it than the
picture theaters, the accompaniment to
singers and other entertainments in
the former class making an orchestra
of some sort almost a necessitv. A
representative of the vaudeville inter
ests said that preparations for the
walkout had been made by the mana
gers long ago and that the opening of
the houses on Monday will see regular
orchestras in all the places affected.
Nor will there be any lack of music
in the moving picture houses, pianists
and organists having been employed in
advance to take the places of the strik-
ing musicians. At the Rivoli, Rialto
and Criterion it was announced that
mechanical organs will furnish the
music to-day. Hugo Riesenfeld, the
head OF these houses, said he had been
anxious for long time to find out
whether the public does not prefer this
kind of music, and if successful will
continue it as a permanent attraction
The same sentiment was expressed by
managers at other houses
The vaudeville managers expect
many of their employees to remain at
their posts, and say that those who wish
to-contlnue at the new wage scale will
be welcomed, while the places of those
who go out will be filled by musicians
from other cities. No disposition is
shown to extend the strike to the reg
ular, theaters, which recently made
working agreements with their must
clans.
1t was said for the theatrical man
ayers that the wages of musicians in
the motion picture houses had been
boosted from $36, in 1914, to $40 last
ya' year. %nlle the average pay of vaude-

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-Amendments

future dealings in grain agreed upon

Committee, include decision to strike

Mrs. H. Goldmunz's pet dog ran
around the backyard of her home, 26O
Twentieth Street, Brooklyn, yesterday,
yapping and swapping. 1t drove the

way which aroused the enthusiasm of
the considerable audience which had
assembled. He borrowed chair from
Mrs. Goldmunz's dining room, planted
it in the~center of the yard and stood
on it..
From this eminence ne tried to lasso
the dog with a clothesline. He stood
there for half an hour throwing his
moose before he succeeded in snarng
the dog. AS he drew his revolver with
bit of a flourish to administer the
final touch, the dog sprang and nipped
his left hand.s Before it could get in
another bite, Pendlcton put a bullet
through it's head. He had his wound

sHAM'ROCKs TRIMMED

. One of the largest crowds that has
ever witnessed a ball game in this
city saw the Dreadnaughts defeat the
Wonder Team" of the Shamrock A.
C. Sunday on Baggett's field. This
game was the forlty-seventh for the
big DIS and it was the forty-fourth
victory, record of which few teams
can boast.
Tolson. first baseman for the
Dreadnaughts, showed that he was
made of better stuff than the ordin-
airy sand lot player. He played his
position in the field without error
and with the bat he came to the res
cue of his team three times, twice
with smashing doubles and once with
nicly placed sacrifice fly. He, it is
rumored, is the best first baseman
seen in these parts for some time.
Devers also handled the willow in
the old time form pounding out the
longest doubles ever seen on this
field and scoring moment later one
of Tolson's doubles.
Beall, Shamrock's much talked of
strike out King was found for II hits.
Frye pitched the best game of the
season.
Alexandria came across in the
seventh with a double which scored
two runs. Ludlow saved the day
once when Sullivan tried to stretch
his three Dagger into something bet
ter and was caught IN the act by one
of the longest throws ever seen on the
Dreadnaught field. Ludlow got it
home where Berle was patiently
waiting to receive it and retired the
ambitious Shamrock.
Giles record, established in this
game, will never be forgotten, Giles
landed safely on two of Bealls Of
ferings, both a critical moments. His
hits scored two of the dreadnaught
runners.
Next Sunday the big DIS will close
the season with some foe as vet I'M
known. Then all their energies will
be turned toward the building of a
football team, the strongest team in
Northern Virginia. which shall pre-
petuate the baseball record.

THE DAY OF ATONEMENT

From sunset on Tuesay, October
18th, until sunset on Wednesday
evening, October 18th, the Jewish
people will, everywhere, gather for
teh observance Of Yom Kippur in
their several places of worship and
there, in meditation and prayer, for
getful 81 the world outside, revive
their confidence in the eventful
triumph Of Gods love and justice,
and the motherhood Of man.
The Day Of Atonement, known as
Yom Kippur, in Hebrew, is mention
ed in the Bible. In the book of Levi
ticus, chapter 1G, the atonement is
described. In Leviicus %: 26-32, the
observance of Yom Kippur IS enjoin.
cd as a holy day wherein affliction
Of the SOUL (fasting, etc. is to be
practiced.
A traditional observance en- this
day has, thus, long been fasting.
Originally the high priest was the
central figure of the ritual. He be-
sought forgiveness for his own sins
and those of his household, and then
for allthe people. The sacrifice of
two goats, one for the Lord. and the
ether set aside for "Azazel," was a
means of purifcation from sin.
From these Biblical practices,
which sought, in symbolic fashion, to
obtain forgiveness for the community
as whole, the celebration of the
Day Of Atorement was considerably
changed in Rabbinical Judaism; and
in modem Judaism, teh observance
of the Day Of Atonement empha-
sizes repertanc fer shortcomings and
misdeed, for failure to live up to the
