THRILLING is STORY OF
"THE LAST PAYMENT

One of the most remarkable stories
ever screened is that of THE Last
Payment" a splendid Paramount pic
ture starring Pola Negri, the famous
screen actress, which will be the fea-
ture at the Washington Theater Mon
day. Screen fans who saw Pola Negri
in Passion" and Gypsy Blood will
find her role in The Last Payment, u
even more fascinating than those she
essayed in the pictures named.
The celebrated star is seen as Lola
the pretty wife of South Amercina
cattle dealer. She meets young
Partisan and when her husband is
slain by vengeful vacqueros, she &C
companies the young man to Paris. II
develops that Lola has been previous
ly married and driven her husband to
ruin, but when she again enters his
life, he recognizes and exposes her
to the man who vainly loves her. Trag-
edy then enters into the lives of those
concerned and the subsequent devel-
opments are as thrilling as they are
dramatic and appealing.
Pola Negri vests the role of Lola
with exquisite art and in her support
appear some of the best known screer
artists of Europe. There are severa
big scenes in the picture all of which
have been splendidly handled by
George Jacoby, the director.

To the Clerks and Affiliated Emp loyees of
The Chesapeake and Ohio Railway Company:

this subject.
On April 9th, 1929, an
agreement was entered into
between this Company and
the organization represent
ing its clerks, in which the
rules governing their EN-
ployment and method of de-
termining rate of pay were
agreed upon. As a part of
this agreement there were
several rules, among which
were the sick leave and the
vacation rules, jointly sub
mitted to the United States
Railroad Labor Board for
decision and are still pend
ing before that Board--con-
sequently cannot be involved
in this controversy.
Among the rules agreed to
was Rule 81, reading as fol-
lows:
Rates of pay for employ
ees named herein will be
those mutually agreed up
on by the c. & o. Execu-
tive Board of the Organ
ization, party to this
agreement and representa-
tives of the Company, OR
AS AUTHORIZED BY
THE UNITED STATES
LABOR BOARD"
1t will be observed that
this is an absolutely positive
agreement to accept the
rates of pay authorized by
the United States Railroad
Labor Board.
Rule 80, another agreed
upon rule, reads as follows:

A committee from the
clerks organization asked
the General Manager for a
conference for the purpose
of requesting him not to put
into effect United States
Railroad Labor Board Deci-
sion 1914 docket 1907, de-
cided June 18th, 1922, which
was effective on July LIST,
1922. The General Manager
met them in conference and
advised them that he had no
alternative but to put the de-
cision into effect, in view of
the fact that decisions of the
Labor Board carrying de-
creases had been applied to
other employees, some of
whom were ON strike because
of that action. The General
Manager, however, offered
to consider any Individual
adjustments based upon age
in service, unusual fitness,
qualifications, usefulness,
etc, of which there might be
instances where clerks are
under-paid. The reply of the
General Chairman of the
clerks organization was in
part Il specifically stated to
you yesterday that nothing
less than a blanket monde

reply further states that

No notice of cancellation

received from the clerks as

We do not feel that the
clerks as a body will sane
ton the violation of a form

for them by their authorized
representatives. A strike, if
that is what is meant by

CHAPTER XIII.
The Coin Falls Heads.

Gramont sat In his own room that
afternoon. 1t seemed to him that he
had been away from the city for
weeks and months. Yet only a day
had INTERVIEWED. He sat lingering the
only piece Of mail that had come to
him-a notice from the post of the
American Legion which he had joined
to the effect that there would be a
meeting that Thursday evening. Only
Thursday And tomorrow was Fri
day.
II he was to effect anything against
the headquarters Of Fell's gang he
must act on the morrow or not at all.
Gumberts was to be out there tomor-
row. Gumberts would talk with the
ratty little man Of the projecting
teeth and adenolds, would find Ora
mont had imposed upon the fellow, and
there would be upheavals. The gang
would take to flight, certainly, or at
least make certain that Gramont's
mouth was shut.
He sat lingering the postal from the
Legion, and turning over events in his
mind. Against Fell he had no particu-
lar animosity. All that the little gray
man had done had been done with the
thought of Lucie Ledanois as a spur.
IF I'm to strike a blow, I'll have
to do 1t tomorrow-before noon to-
morrow, also. I'll have to leave here
mighty early, and get there before
Gumberts does. What was It Ham,

lest the parents discover the kidnapping

up a little fight and bit one Of the natives
on the shoulder, but was easily subdued.
He was then turned over to Miss
Cunningham, who had gone to Africa
with her brother for the purpose of adopt

AT first Chula was very grouchy, but on
the third day his new mistress was able
to go into his cage and on the fifth day
he took food from her.
When / first had Chula thought he
was going to be like all the other goril-

sullen-tempered; but I am glad to say he
has begun to play, and be quite content.
We find the characteristics of both these
gorillas are very much alike, so we con-
clude that as rule all gorillas are very
conservative in their habits, jealous, ex-
tremely observant. and not at all greedy
like chimpanzees. We hope to develop
Chula as John was allowed to develop.
