|. Collective Advertising
A plan of collective advertising
was discussed at length, the consen-
sus Of opinion being that individual
advertising such as was done last
year is largely money thrown away.
what we want the people to know"
one speaker said. "is that we have
more than one store in jamestown.
People don't come to city to buy
something at one store. They want
to look around and see where they
can do the best on the particular ar
ticle or articles which they DESIRE"
Under the collective advertising
plan, a little booklet of fifty or sixty
pages would be published. allowing
each business one page and reserving
twelve or fifteen pages for general
descriptions of the city and its var
ious institutions. This plan was en-
dorsed by practically every business
man present, some advocating that
all display advertising be elfminat-
ed and the booklet be made de-
scriptive catalog of the city no
cuts OF merchandise would be used
under this plan, the space allotted
each business being taken up with
interior or exterior cuts of the build
ing or plant and descriptions OF the
various lines of merchandise handl-
ed. 1t was thot that this would pro-
vide a more genteel and effective
form Of advertising as the people
would be more likely to take such
a book home to keep.
Mr.. Mattingly explained that the
Boosters Club as whole would pro-
vide suitable souvenirs for the chill
dren, and that any of the merchants
who wished could get out special ad-
vertising matter. There was some
objection to any special advertising,
it being held that the trip would be
more effective if only the booklets
and souvenirs of the club be handed
out.
Baseball Team Discussed 4
The matter Of organizing a, base
ball team was discussed, but no ac-.
ton taken. 1t is probable tha. the
matter will be taken. up more in de-
tail at a later. meeting, it being felt
that no action should be taken until
a survey Of the field had been made
and larger number Of the fans were
present.
1t was suggested by some that in
stead of planning on an all-paid teap,
this year, four or five paid playcis
should be secured and the remainder
of the team be recruited froln play

Industrial Commission.
For the last two weeks.10r, more

ia by the present members Of the
State Industrial Commission namely
Governor Lynn j. Frazier, Attorney

These facts can be proved beyond

majority were opposed to the recall
at present.

or not to call a recall election
against several officials who have
Non Partisan League endorsement,
including Governor Frazier, and
whether to initiate number of laws,
which would affect state owned in
dustries, will be decided by the con-
vention of anti-Non/ Partisans, which
will open two days session here
this afternoon.
Sentiment among the delegates ar
riving on the scene seemed to be di-
vided on the question of recall in
June or later in the year, probably
in the fall. 5.s
Realization during the past few
weeks that North Dakota would be
unable to finance the planting of a
crop this spring because bankers Of
the twin cities and the east refuse
to handle North Dakota paper under
present conditions, is swinging SEN
timent in favor of recall said E.
L. Richter, of the independent voters
association, which is opposed to the
Non Partisan League.
One proposed constitutional
amendment, according to Richter.
would make the bonds of the Bank
of North Dakota the direct obliga-
tion of the state rather than of the
various individual state owned in
,dustries as at present. Such a
change, Richter said, probably
would meet objections of bankers to
bonds now being offered for sale.
The convention, if it decided up
OH recall, will also determine what
state officials it shall be aimed at in
addition to Governor Frazier, VIM.
Lemkc, attorney general and J. NJ.
Hagen, commissioner of agriculture,
who comprise the state industrial
commission.
A number of constitutional amend
ments, which it is proposed to ini-
tiate, also will be discussed. These
would include those to provide for
dissolution of Bank of North Dakota
and it's liquidation to state rural
credit department; to amend the
state industrial Jaw to give indeDen-
dents control; and to provide for,
nomination and election Of state Of
ficials without party designation.

counties, strong opposition 10 the
pian to put the recall on:' was de-
yeloped.
A plan was put for"art! to cre-
ate new organization entirely sep.
parate from the Independent Voters
association or Committee OF q, TO
direct the recall program. The new
organization would not take the
place of the present bodies, but
would merely take charge Of the
campaign.
Judge John Knauf of Jamestown.
outlined the success of the Stutsman
county plan, where the county car
ried on it's campaign. independently
of other counties, and pointed to the
need Of different literature for diff
ferent counties, contending one state
organization was not adequate.
The proposed plan is to have a
general committee of 53, with one
representative from each county
to direct the affairs of the gen.
c-al campaign, and the county chair
man to direct the campaign in each
county, with subcommittee to have
charge Of the state campaign.

Withdrawals of Whisky
Fall 100000 Gallons
Decrease to l,487 800 in First
Half of 1921; Non-Beverage
S.ayno Revenue Drops

WASHINGTON, Jug. l0.-With-
drawals of whisky from bonded ware
houses during the first six months OF
this year fell off by more than 3,5oo,ooo
gallons, compared with the same perioo
last year, according to records maze
public to-day by the Internal Revenue
Bureau. From January l, 1870, 10
June 80, 1920. the records show 5,l7o,-
500 gallons of whisky were withdrawn
as against 1887 500 gallons during the
corresponding period of 1921.
Decreases in Withdrawals during the
first three months of this year were
explained by the ban closing ware
houses and distilleries, which was
modified in April to permit with
drawals by retail druggists and in May
to allow wholesale druggists to with
draw whisky.
A decrease of S14,312,5l9 in the
sales of stamps for non beverage
spirits also was shown during the
first six months of 1921. Stamp sales
for the first half of the year aggre-
gated S27,916,4SO, as compared with
S42.22S,999 during the first half Of
1920.

Pennsylvania Averts
Shopmen' sW alkout;
Gets 10 Days Grace
Labor Board Agrees to Time
Extension; Road Officials
Discuss Change in Atti-
tude Toward Open Shop
Special Dispatch to The Tribune

CHICAGO, Aug. 10-Through an
eleventh hour change in front on the
part of officials Of the pennsylvania
Railroad, a crisis it WAS feared might
result in strike of the roads $4,000
shop crafts employees has been averted,
at least temporarily.
Samuel Rea, president of the Penn
sylvania, to-day telegraphed the United
States Railroad Labor Board from
Philadelphia, requesting fifteen days
of grace" in which to comply with the
boards recent order, directing a con-
ference between the roads executives
and representatives. to be held on or
before August TO- to-day, to arrange
for election of q committee to draw up
new working agreements. The request
was granted.
President Rea's message came after
an day conference of the board Of
directors of the Pennsylvania Lines i'll
Philadelphia. While no statement Of
intention accompanied the request, it
was generally interpreted in railway
circles here as indicating the railway
officials are prepared TO modify their
stand on tho open shop question, the
crux of the controversy
The contention of the Pennsylvania
has been for direct dealing with en-
ployces, and it has refused to meet
union representatives. A committee
to represent shop crafts employees was
recently elected on ballot prescribed
by the company. This ballot made no
provision for union organizations as
representatives. The Penns ylvan q
system federation then appealed to the
Labor Board.
Upon this complaint the board ruled
against the road, declaring the election
void and ordering new one, for which
it prescribed ballot that would make
voting for either union or non-union
representatives possible. The confer
ence to be held not later tom to-day
was to settle details Of this election.
When up to Tuesday, Pennsylvania
officials had made no move to comply
with the order, strike talk became prey
alent. Union representatives here de-
MED a strike was contemplated. That
a protest walkor1 was probable, how
ever, was founded on the report that
the Pennsylvania had arranged to put
emergency crews to work in the shops.

New Comedy by Roi Cooper
Megrue Begins With
Pleasant Mixture of Talk
and Tricks but Slows Down
THE CAST
By Heywood Broun

Rol cooper Megrue mas nit upon the
ingenious idea Of making himself the
Are Even" which was produced at the
Times Square Theater last night. At
any rate, John Leighton is the author
Of at Pays to Deliver the Goods" a
play about advertising. However, al
though modelled on Mogrue, he is
person somewhat less versed in the
tricks of the thea. or. Some one has
to tell him, late IN the third act, that
the way to win the heroine is to seize
her violentlr in his arms and snarl, 81
;ove you.' But for this amazing ignor-
ance on the part Of Leighton, the play
wright hero, there would be no third
act for "Honors Are Even
However, in this case the golem
manufactured by Megrue is rather
wiser than his creator. "Honors Are
Even" could do very nicely without a
third act. An uneven but generally
amusing comedy is badly marred by
this same last act, which wastes time
after 10 o'clock, when q sprinting finish
is decidedly in order. Throughout
"Honors Are Even" is curious mix
ture of comedy of manners and crook
melodrama.
Nearly all the tricks are effective
but the talk is not uniformly good.
Some OF 1t CHIMES, and then again 1T
just tinkles. 1t is hard to reconcile
the fact that the same man who spars
so pleasantly in his best moments can
also have written the dull patches.
There are stretches during which Mr..
Megrue seems to be stumbling along
just waiting for another flash. Cen
orally it comes, but there is need of
more lightning. Then, too, it ought
not to strike twice in the same place.
The play begins cumbersomely with
three proposals in row. Since there
are several more to come later in the
evening, this is too many We remem-
Der a good proposal scene in Romeo
and Juliet" and another in Booth
Tarkington's "Clarence," but generally
they do not amount to much.
The proposals disposed Of, Mcgrue
manages to get his characters in hap
pier vein, and in particular handles q
scene with several characters talking
at once with a good deal Of skill. He
waits until the end of the first act be-
fore beginning his tricks and lifts q
second act sagging under dialogue
which is not quite good enough by an

Eat his final trick which ends the
ser-~d "ct Is not good enough to last
out the third. Everybody knows that the
egg is no longer in the nat, and yet Mr.
Megrue goes on and on with the assump-
.-~.- INC the audience is agog for the
reyc alton OF the fact. He puts on
ca.nic zane OF b.dga which has moth
ing to recommend it save the line Of the

conhdante love scene and proposal all
TO nerselI. After TINS the announce
ment that the heroine loves the hero
all the time and was only waiting for
him to act like a cavenan falls flat.
The play concerns the fortunes of a
bach lor playwright who tries to con-
duct love affair with his head rather
than his heart and a heroine who is
too smart for him. In fact, from our
point of view the heroine was just a
little too smart for any one. One of
Jack Hazards gag lines from Tan
gerine." Don't she say the cutest
things" seemed to echo in our ears.
Nor uid we like it any better when she
began to talk about mothers and i'm
mortality. AS written by Megrue. we
think the young lady is too self-con-
scious. Lola Fisher, who plays the
role, seemed to us to emphasize rather
than overcome the handicap. William
Courtenay handled his melodramatic
moments easily enough, but he, too,
went down under the too lengthy
speeches in praise of motherhood.
There is a villain who comes between
Belinde and her playwright. and Henry
Mowray makes him conventional.

Director General James c. Davis OF
the Railroad Administration testifed
following Mr.. Meyer. He said the
limit of funding under the proposed
plan would be $500, 100000, and prob
ably less than that, because some roads
cannot give good security and others
do not desire government aid.
The net balance due the government
en- account Of betterments and addi-
tons of about $700,0C0,000 is to be
funded.
He asserted the whole purpose of
the Administration plan was to allow
the investing public to carry the rail
read securities instead of the govern
ment. Asked why the President had
not been given power in the trans
portation act to sell the securities, he
said he assumed it was an oversight.
The Illinois Manufacturers Associ-
alton filed a statement with the COM
mittee urging prompt passage of the
bill so that the railroads, industries
and shippers may be relieved, trans
portation troubles avertcd and unem-
ployment lessened.
