5000 900. Shipments Of tires this

The Virginia Iron, Coal and Coke

amounted to $751; as compared
with $1O0,O74 for the correspond

Both producers and refiners have
benefited recently from the i'm

there have been large resales OF
sugar here sold for export not yet

resent not only current consump-
ton but stocking up against posi-

Nine Yiddish \
Theatres.

Consolidated Press Correspondent

New York. N. Y, July 24.-Now
the gods of dissension have been
tied up by another threatening
strike that has New York's East
Side as upset as the bargain hunt
er seeking the lowest price on a
quart Of dill pickles on a Friday
night in Second avenue. The rail-
road strike hasn't bothered the
East Side-it has long ago learned
to get along quite by itself. The
coal strike likewise has not caused
a rifle because this section all
along has bought its coal by the
scuttle or bushels and paid the top
price at that.
But the contemplated strike is
something else again. It threatens
to tie up the Yiddish theatres. The
managers want to slash the wages
Of the actors and shorten the
length Of their season contracts.
A vague desire for normally in the
theatres undoubtedly brought from
the managers the proposal to cut
wages 10, 20 and 80 per cent and
make the contract for "a instead of
38 weeks. Today, through officers
Of their unions, the actors declared
there will be no acting next year
unless wages and length Of con-
tract remain as at present
There are nine Yiddish theatres
in New York. Two play opera, one
so-called 'highbrow" stun, and the
others melodrama and light com
edy. They employ 200 actors. All
are members Of the Hebrew Actors
Union, section one, q part Of the
Associated Actors and Artists Of
America and thus tied in with the
chorus girls union, the ushers, the
ticket sellers and the stage hands
union.
