a success. The attendance at this
cool and comfortable theatre has,
considering the heat outdoors. been
phenomenal Capacity houses. have

The impression upon the audiences
here in Wilmington has been just as
impressive as when the picture was
first shown in Chicago and New

crowds at 50 prices.
"Earthbound" is hailed as the
greatest forward step in the develop
ment OF the screen art, and as yet no
one has contradicted the statement.
Basically, "Earthbound" had a
reason for its being. Basil King, the
author, built it around one OF the
oldest thoughts in the world. an
idea that had its origin in the time
OF Aristotle. during the early Greek
period. Namely. that a soul could
not move onward unless It was freed
from all earth claims. Mr.. Kings
story carried with It a tremendous
theme, and because he stood en-

Matilda Kemn, of East Twenty

Miss Kemm's CALCULATIONS of surprise
and indignation brought sharp retorts
from Miss Burns and her friend, Helen
Loomis, of 2340 VOORHEES, Avenue,
Brooklyn. The words were loud and
the actions which followed were louder.
Presently all three were fighting tooth
and nail-especially nail-and rolling
about on the floor of the car.
The train rolled into the Avenue U

wildly for the reserves and it required
the vigorous efforts Of four policemen
to disentangle the combatants The
entire force at the Sheepshead Bay
police station could not harmonize
their three versions of the affair and
the trio were sent to Brooklyn night

frocks and were offering each other
gum and hairpins. Each withdrew her
charges and the case was dismissed.

Armistice Sought
In Truck Row Until
Rail Issue Subsidies
Owners Warn Of Grave Sit
uation in City if Drivers
Should Quit While Roads
Are Crippled by Walk-Out

There were indications yesterday
that the threatened walk-out of truck
drivers here, set for the same time as
the railroad strike, may be averted
by intervention of Federal agencies.
7. r. Barry, executive secretary of
the Merchant T~uckmen's Bureau ot
New York, with whose members the
union drivers refuse to meet to discuss
matters at issue, said Charles Bend
helm. of the bureau of conciliation of
the United States Department of Labor,
had been in touch with the labor lead
ers,. and that it was possible that a
conference between representatives of
both sides would be arranged soon.
The serious effect of a strike on
November 1, when the railroad unions
are also scheduled to walk out, was
pointed out by the truckmen to the
New York Port Authority yesterday in
letter sent to that organization. 1t
was asserted that it would tie up COM
pletely the movement of food supplies
in the city and leave the population in
q hopeless situation
The trouble arose several weeks ago.
when the truck owners proposed a ten
hour day and a reduction of SIS week
in the pay of the J I 600 union drivers.
The members of Locals 282 and 8O7 of
the International Brotherhood OF
Teamsters not only declined to accept
the reduction, but announced hey
would refuse to meet with the truck
owners association to discuss the mat
ter. They insisted that when the pres
ent blanket contract which they had
with the association members as a
whole expired on October 81 they
would make individual contracts with
the owners. This the latter refuse to
do, feeling that as the men are treated
with in a body the workers should
recognize the owners as a body.
The letter of the truckmens assoc:a-
tion to the Port Authority was taken
up at a meeting of that body yesterday
and referred to committee for con-
sideration. After pointing out the seri-
Gus effect of q strike at this time The
truckmen request that the Governor
and the Port Authority "exert the power
Of their influence to urge upon the
unions the necessity for an armisrce
on November 1 in order that the food
and freight of the city be kept moving
should the railroads berome tied up."

and the board then formally announced
that it assumed full jurisdiction" over
the rail crisis and ordered the unions
not to strike pending board hearing
to determine if the transportation act
had been violated in the strike activi-
ties.
The executives of the shop crafts,
representing 100000 men, then an
nounced that they would not authorize
walk-out. This was the first break,
and others followed rapidly until
every one OF the eleven "standard"
unions except the Order of Railway
Telegraphers had refused to authorize
a strike.
The Labor Board hearing was held
yesterday. 1t adjourned when the
unions, at the instigation of the board,
requested permission to confer with
their chairman. These conferences led
up to the "big five's" final action.
On last Saturday, however, 600 train
men on the International & Great
Northern began strike. This strike
had been authorized previous to the
big four strike call. What the set
tlement there will be is not vet known.

izing the railroads to reduce wages of
their employees an average of 121h per
cent, was the first event in the series
which led up to the orders for a gem

AS soon as this decision was rem

ballots such questions as rules and

what action should be taken. On Oc-
toter 10 ii was announced formally
that walk-out, beginning October so
and extending progressively in four
distinct movements until virtually
every road in the country would be
covered, had been authorized.
