On June 27, 1922, I issued
circular letter "To the Employees
of the Chesapeake and Ohio Rail
way Company" in which l stated
that the newspapers carried, as a
news item, the information that
certain classes of our employees
had been requested to vote on the
question of whether or not they
would accept certain rulings hand
ed down by the United States
Railroad Labor Board. It was
shown in that letter that the rul-
ings which were questioned had
been made by the Labor Board
after exhaustive investigation and
due and careful consideration; il
was also pointed out that this rail-
road had, without question, obeyed
and put into effect all of the rules
of the Labor Board, including in
creases in rates of pay and that
it was impossible for it to do any
thing other than to put into effect
the disputed rulings as they had
been formulated and handed down
by a duly constituted govern
mental authority-The United
States Railroad Labor Board, act
ing within its authority. On July
l, 1922, without any previous no
tice or advice to the management
of this company, you left your
work concertedly, in taking this
action. You are striking against
the findings Of the tribunal es-
tablished by the Congress of the
United States for the purpose of
hearing and deciding disputes be-
tween railroad companies and
their employees, in order that there
will be no occasion for a resort to
strikes. AS stated in my letter

above referred to, this company
desires to continue to work on the
closest basis with its employees,
and from personal contact with
the employees involved and their
representatives I have reason to
believe that you are at heart loyal
to the railway company and that
since you have had time for more
matured thought and deliberation,
you are now willing to return to
your post of duty. Manifestly,
transportation by this railway
must, in the interest of those it
serves-the public-go on unin-
terruptedly, and to accomplish
this, it is necessary that the rail-
way have and maintain a full
complement Of shop employees. To
this end, and with a view to re-
establishing our former friendly
relations, we will retain on the
seniority lists the names of all
employees covered by the rules
now in effect between the COM
pany and the Federated Shop EN-
ployes, and preserve to them all
the rights their seniority entities
them to, provided they return to
their post of duty. If employees
now on strike do not promptly re-
turn to their service, the exigency
of the situation will compel us
to employ new men. The COM
pany assures those now in the
service, those who resume work
and others who take service with
the company, every practicable
protection in the performance Of
their duties.

HUT Of the misty void where the

ender and lace. etc, etc.-rose that
mischievous ectoplasm, "Charley's
Aunt" II landed on the Garrick
with a bang, or whatever kind OF
sound an ectoplasm makes when
II lands.
It's a long cry-indeed, it's a
long wall OF many veteran thea
tergoers-from Brandon Thomas
hardy perennial TO Avery Hop
woods curiously successful bids
for popular favor. When Mr..
Thomas wrote "Charley's Aunt"
he was not handicapped by prohi-
bition jests, the present Younger
Generation or the other necessi-
ties of modern farce. He went at
his work with a chuckle, and the
world hasn't stopped chuckling
yet.
The immortality Of "Charley's
Aunt" is safe In the hands Of the
Garrickers. Especially would she
be everlastingly preserved by Den
mis- King, who brightly burgeons
this week as a female impersonat-
or. King makes every motion
speak. HIS performance Is spon-
taneous and he behaves as II he
enjoys being smothered in the
flouncy accoutrements OF a maiden
aunt.
King Is the brightest star in
the cast. The other two rahTah
boys, Edwin Trusheim and Bran
don Peters. are less picturesque,
but serve their purpose, neverthe-
less. George Henry Trader, in
the role Of Stephen Spettigue,
gives a fine example Of how the
old-time farce should be played.
The ladies' OF the cast, Dorothy
McGrew, Imogen Taylor. Mrs.
Charles B. Hanford. and Ada
Meade, are quite acceptable. 1t
might be desired, however. that
Miss Meade had a little more to
do than simper sweetly and walk
about gracefully with her hair In
a ribbon. -
It is a relief, somehow. to see
a pay which has grandiloquent
