STRONG UNDERCURRENT 10
WARD INDUSTRIAL REC0E-

Washington, ID. c., Aug 9-De-
spite the coal and rail strikes, there
is a strong undercurrent through
out the country in the direction of
industrial recovery, the department
of labor has announced in an analy-
sis of business conditions for the
month ending. July 81. An optimis-
tic opinion prevails, the statement
added, that with the settlement of
the two major controversies the
country will experience a rapid ad-
vance in Industrial prosperity.
Evidence to support this, opinion,
the department said. was found in
decided increases of employment in
ten to fourteen basic industries. The
iron and steel industry in some sec
tions has suffered through made
quate fuel supply, it was said,
though employment registered ma
terial increases.
Decreases of employment in Ii
quor and beverage plants and tobac-
co industry were said to have been
negligible.
The survey indicated that the
railroad repair shops of the country
recorded the heaviest decreases in
labor employment. In many Sec
tions of the country building oper-
ations were said to be reflected In
the employment increases in the
lumber industry. The building
boom continues unabated, it was as.
serted.
Forty-four cities out of 65 cover

FILM MAKERS
MUST NOT CHEAT
THE TRADE COMMISSION GETS
AFTER OLD MOVIES ISSUED
UNDER NEW NAMES.

Washington, d. c., Aug. g
Through a complaint issued against
the Fox Film corporation of New
York city, the federal trade com
mission inaugurated campaign
which members said was designed
to prevent motion picture exhibitors
and the public being imposed upon
by film brokers and producers
through marketing of old films un-
der new titles. or of films bearing
titles of noted books or plays when
the subject matter has little or no
connection with the name.
The commissions policy was de-
termined upon, it became known.
following the visit of all its mem
bers in a body to two lDal theaters
exhibiting films bearing the same
title an dostensibly purporting to
portray the characters and atmos-
phere of world famous novel. One
film was found to accurately inter
pret the characters of the novel, it
was said, while the other bore no
resemblance to the book and, in the
opinion of the commission, the title
was employed solely in a deceptive
sense
In such instances, the commission
holds, the theater owners and the
public is imposed upon.
The COMMISSIONS complaint
against the Fox Film corporation
AYERS that the corporation held sew
eral plays which had previously been
produced by it exhibited through the
United States. and gave them new
names, such names being different
from those under which the plays
already had been exhibited.
The practice, il was averred by
the commission, tended to mislead
exhibitors and the public into the
belief that such reissues" were
| first run pictures.

BLAZING CAR
PER|LS LIVES
SLEEPER ON MII.WAUKEES CO.
LUMBIA FIIER BURNS.

Seattle, Wash, Aug. 9-The lives
of 80 passengers were imperiled. one
man was seriously injured and sew
eral other persons received cuts,
burns and bruises when the rear
sleeper on the westbound Columbia
Flyer on the Chicago, Milwaukee
and st. Paul railway was destroyed
by fire at O'Clock this morning,
near Rye, 130 miles east of Seattle.
Fred Ketch, a member of vaude-
vile team, was brought to Seattle
hospital suffering from severe cuts
and weak from loss of blood. He
collapsed after dragging his wife
out of the burning car through a
window.
Railway officials say loss of life
was averted by the prompt action of
William Wilson, the negro porter,
the sleeping passengers and helping
them to safety.
The cause of the fire is not defi-
nitely known but railroad officials
say Ii probably resulted from a de-
fective fuse. 1t started in the wom-
ans dressing room and had made
great headway before it was discov-
cred.
Wilson also was given credit by
the passengers for saving the re-
mainder of the train. Fighting his
way through the screaming, fear
stricken passengers, he reached the
emergency cord Almost before the
train had come to a stop he was cut
and had uncoupled the car. BY this
time the flames were sweeping the
length of the coach.
p. G.. Benton, dining car steward
who had gotten out safely amons
the first, recalled two invalidwom-
en- trapped in the burning coach. He
dashed through the smoke, and
carrying one, led the other through
the aisle and out to safety.

CAR SHORTAGE
IS FACED
SHIPPERS ARE TOLD TO LOAD
ALL CARS TO THEIR
CAPACITY.

Sioux City, Aug. 9-Shippers of
the country are facing a severe car
shortage, according to warnings be-
ing sent out by the Illinois Central
railway system.
Due to the existing coal and rail
strikes, cars have been moving mucn
slower for the past month, the car
riers state, and large numbers are
row held at various terminal points
Although conclusion of the strikes
would relieve the situation greatly,
it still will be some time before ade-
quate car service will be restored, the
carriers declare.
In an attempt to remedy the con-
dition, many of the carriers are
sending out statements to shipping
associations, city chambers of COM
merce, board of trade and other or
ganizations requesting that cars be
loaded to capacity.
Grain shippers in particular are
being urged to load to capacity. An
instance was cited where lumber
shippers loaded car with $4,000
pounds of lumber when the car ca
pacity was rated at $4,000
The carriers assert that if ship
pers are to be satisfied, all cars will
have to be loaded to capacity with
the possible exception of live stock
shipments, where an overlooking g
tendency now exists.
Shipments or concrete, crushed
stone, sand and other road building
material is apt to be held up; the
railroads state, due to an urgent
need for coal cars, should the coal
strike be settled suddenly.
