threat received Saturday in the form of
communication to The Tribune from
striking railroad shopmen at Nampa.
Aid from the Caldwell Commercial
club in recruiting men to take the
place of strikers to the end that this

of the state drew the attack.
1--WE are not fighting the railroad
shopmen,' R. T. HURT, secretary of
the club pointed out Monday when
shown the communication. "But we
are specifically interested in getting
Canyon county potatoes and other
Idaho perishable crops to market,

unless we do this, certain ruin faces
every business man and every farm
err in this territory. We are simply
doing our best, since these strikers are
opposing regulations laid down by the
United States government, to help to
meet this problem"
An outstanding Idaho development
of the strike situation last week end
was the petition signed by 128 striking
Glenns Ferry shopmen. They ask I'M
ion leaders to permit strikers to return
to work until crops are moved at the
reduced wage scale authorized by the
Railroad Labor Board and which pre-
cipitated the strike This is purely
a local affair, however, and is not ex
pected to meet with favor by direct
ing union heads who are directing til,
strike on a national basis and who, i
is believed here, will not be governed
by purely local emergencies.
The communication from Namp;
shopmen is as follows:

AT THE Majestic.

The latest stellar combination TO
come TO the notice of the picture
goers is that of Mae Murray and Ro-
dolph Valentino in "The Delicious
Little Devil" which the Majestic has
for its feature, today, tomorrow and
Wednesday. The combination has
undeniably attractive possibilities.
Both players have followings that
run into the thousands right here in
Wilmington.
Mae Murray is seen in the role of
a cabaret dancer which should come
natural TO the former star of the
Ziegfeld Follies and other Broad
way Musical shows. During one or
two scenes she does some of the diff
hcult steps for which she is Justly
famed.
Valentino heads the brilliant sup
porting company that appears with
her. He is seen as Jimmie Calhoun,
the son of a millionaire and wor-
shipper at the shrine OF the dancer.

UNDER CovER."

Comedy, drama, farce and mystery
have been presented in various of
the plays offered at the Garrick by
the popular Wilmington Players
company. Now for bit OF variety
comes secret service or mystery
adventure play. II is Under
Cover" probably one of the best
known of this type of play.
Coming as it does from the facile
pen OF Roi Cooper Megrue. Under
Cover" has the advantage OF not
only being clever in conception, but
remarkably startling in actual pro-
duction.
The story OF Under Cover" tells
OF the plots OF smugglers and the
counter attacks OF the United States
revenue officers. In the particular
instance OF which the story treats,
the controversy is over the snug
Cling OF a pearl necklace and the
efforts of the United States custom
officials TO trace the guilty parties.
The leading role this week goes to
Robert Lynn. the popular leading
man OF the company. Mr.. Calls has
another comedy character and Miss
Reilley is seen as a society girl
whose necklace is the subject OF the
story.

great hit OF the same producer. when
that production. which has broken
all records of 'Irene." begins a two

''Tangerine" is a more pretentious

comedy than Irene" and has TO its
credit the shattering OF all musical

the history of Broadway.
It's book is a brilliant satire on
the sexes and without offense to any.
offers an evening OF riotous fun for
the married. the divorced. the single
and contemplative couples. It Is In
fact timely satire on love and

Critic Praises The Circle"
The brilliant critic on New York's
best newspaper said at the end OF
his review: The Circle" will
prove a genuine test OF the burning
question as 20 whether or not folks
intend 20 go TO the theatre this sea-
son. II they won't go 20 The Circle
they won't go TO anything"
The tremendous success OF the
play at the Seiwyn theatre for an
entire season 10 capacity is not past
history-vhich proves that when
you give the public a comedy such
as Somerset Maughams play they
win give you their patronage
and for that reason the Selwyns
have selected an all-star cast TO pre-
sent the play on tour. With Wilton

You're next, Scraggs," he called cheerfully, and turned to peer over the rail. MT. Gibney had emerged on the surface and was swimming slowly away toward an adjacent float where small boats landed.

 The enemy, meanwhile, had turned their attention upon ScraggS, who had lodged below like frightened rabbit and sought shelter in the shaft alley. He had sufficient presence of mind, as he dashed through the engine room. to snatch a large monkey wrench off the tool rack on the wall, and, kneeling just inside the alley entrance he turned at bay and threatened the fn- vaders with his weapon. Thereupon Hicks and Flaherty pelted him with Jumps of coal, but the sole result of this assault was to force ScraggS further, back into the shaft alley and out of range.
 The tow0oat men held a council of war and decided to drown Scraggs out.
