GARRICK- -''The Right to Strike y

Almost on the eve of the proposed
great railroad strike in the United

dealing with industrial conditions in
England but which might be applied
to this country-was given its premier
American production at the Shubert-

is a plea against the industrial wars

a feeling on the part of the reviewer
that were it not for the timeliness OF

The strike is weapon, bound up

for tolerance. justice and good will

The play comes here after five
month run in London, acclaimed a
success. In England the industrial
situation has been even worse than
in the United States, with strikes and
threats of strikes. The action of the
play takes place in Valleyhead in
Lancashire. England. Valleyhead Is
a community of 100000 souls. fed by
one railroad. The railroad workers
demand higher wages, which is re-
sisted by the management of the
road. They declare u strike. cutting
off the food and all other supplies
of this community. The community
resents this action. The physicians.
whose supplies for the sick have been
cut off, join with others in the COM
munity to build up motor service.
which blankets the efforts of the
strikers.
Here the element of force enters
in brutal form. A wire stretched
across the road at the bottom of Il
hill by the strikers overturns a motor
ear, killing one Of the young doctors.
It happens that this young doctor has
just returned home after serving his
country for years in the war and has
brought bride with him.
DIR. Wrigley. the best friend of the
murdered man, calls strike of all
u
road man nor any of his family to be
given medical attention during the
continuance of the railroad strike.
This retaliation. use of the same
methods as those adopted by the rail-
.'Oad workers. causes furore
throughout England. 1t happens that
the leader of the strikers, Ben Orm
erod. has d young wife who is about
% become Il mother. Medical atten-
zion is denied her by the striking
physicians But when she is near
death DIR. Miller. the father of the
younsster who had been killed, goes

Hope Trade Will Continue
to Pick Up Despite Strike

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
PITTSBURGH, October 1s.-There
are strong hopes expressed here that
the gradual improvent in trade, which
has been SO apparent in this district.
will continue, despite the railroad sit
uation. The inclination on the part
of various manufacturers to expand
producing capacity of their plants in
dicates this and a similar attitude Is
in evidence among the mercantile es-
Establishments.
Higher quotations on crude oil are
inducing ventures IN development
work, and the increase in field opera :
tions. it is expected, will be felt
shortly in the market for supplies.
There is a feeling that the upward
swing in oil prices has not ended,
although advances may be less rapid
than they have been in the last few
weeks.
The immediate Pittsburgh district
continues to feel effects of competi-
ton of non-union fields in the coal
industry. Tonnage has increased
slightly, but mines here are operating
at less than 80 per cent capacity.
Concerns which operate in both union
and non-union fields in some in
stances are running their non union
mines at capacity, while their union
mines are idle. Domestic demand has
improved somewhat and inquiries are
more numerous.

ST. PAUL. October 1S.-Possibility
of the railroad strike has darkened
the outlook for improved business in
this section. If the strike becomes a
reality $1,000 railroad men here Will
be out of employment. A tie-up OF
livestock shipments would throw 5000
other workers. employed in the stock
yards and packing houses. out of
work and there are over 1000 men
at present unemployed.
Manufacturers and distributors OF
mackinaws. furs and heavy winter
clothing report that shipments of fail
and winter merchandise compare IA
vorably with those of last year. Cur
rent business is termed quite satisfac-
tory.
Shoe factories are fully employed at
present. and statesmen are sending in
a good volume of orders from the
road. The outlook in this line is said
to be very bright. Costs of farm labor
have decreased materially in the
northwest Reports from forty-one
county farm bureaus show decline in
wages of 16 per cent since the begin
ming of harvest. Two months ago the
average pay for farm hand was SAL
