SUBWAY WORKERS
GIVE Up STRIKE
800 Employees Admit Defeat
Accept Old Wage Scale

New York, July % up - Three
hundred subway motormen and
switchmen who went on strike July
for higher pay and recognition of
their union today were applicants
for their old jobs at the old pay.
The strikers came to the conclu-
sion last night that they had lost
and voted to march in a body to the
offices of Abraham Merritt, superin-
tendent of the subway division of
the lnterborough Rapid Transit Co.,
and ask reinstatement. Strike lead
ers said they would be the last to
apply in order to let the rank and
file get first choice of jobs that
might be open for them.
Edward P. LAWN, head of the gen.
eral coHmittee of the strikers,
blamed the failure on steady deser-
tions from an original 1876 strikers,
and on Mayor Walker because he
did not intervene.
Joseph Phclan, n leader, told the
strikers they We're not prepared for
a long strike and We're beaten by
their own men who went back to
work. James f. Walsh. another
leader, said there are days TO come
after this one. Obey your leaders
now and go back, and when the call
comes again answer IT,"
The strikers had demanded in
crease Of pay for motormen from 50
cents to 81 on hour. The company
refused to arbitrate with the strik-
ers as a body on the grounds that
such action might precipitate
strike of 1900 loyal members of
the company union, as a breach of
faith.
Reduced service was maintained
throughout the strike, and was
gradually increased. There were no
disorders and no serious accidents
A large portion of the 100000 per-
sons who use the subway daily re-
sorted to the elevated, also owned
by the !. r. T., buses and other
transportation.

annual banquet.
Mr.. Dawes lauded the bravery or
the policeman who generally goes
TO the conflict as one man-all
alone" unassisted by the influence
of mass psychology as is the soldier
at war.
Among the reasons why the po-
liceman does not receive his de-
served public acclaim and sym
pathy is because he is always at
work and the record of his heroism
is a contagious one, and, therefore,
attracts less attention." said the vice
president.

day the chiefs chose Windsor, On

Many degrees cooler inside than

more than ever to its movie patrons,

has been brought here for return

Lon CLANCY, Norman Kerry and
Mary Philbin are the featured stars
of this picture. but the cast, which
numbers thousands, fits perfectly
the story which it interprets. The
news reels, The Winking IdoP' SER
ial and a comedy round out the pro-
gram.
Scenes of splendor vie with scenes
of unusual thrills for interest in
The Phantom of the Opera"
CLANCY OF course, is the outstand-
ing performer in this drama and his
character work is so wonderful that
it becomes real. Mary Philbin, the
dainty little singer. plays her part
well and Kerry proves handsome,
dashing leading man. Wonderful
settings enhance the production, not
the least of which is the Paris opera
house. This is picture once seen

"--he made love to you, and when
you refused him he threatened you,"
Dick finished for her.
"How did you know that" she
asked flushing a rich, rosy red.
I've been an eavesdropper ever
since We sailed" he laughed. Il seem
to have lost ali sense of decency in
that respect"
"Eavesdropping in good cause is
nothing to be ashamed Of" she re-
piled, giving him "a smile that made
him dizzy.
Recovering from the momentary
confusion caused by her smile, he
ssked: what excuse did Mr. Blake
give for sending the yacht away that
first nightf"
ITO get more servants"
"Aud you believed him?"
"Yes, but J rebuked him for doing il
without consulting me first l told
him we should turn right around and
go back home"
II see," mused Dick thoughtfuly.
Perhaps he thought you'd want to
do something like that, and he fore
stalled it by sending the yacht away
at once. He didn't want to take
chance keeping it here. Of course,
he was very sorry, and all that-very
contr!te, wasn't he?"
"You seem to read him pretty well,
Mr.-Mr-"
He smiled when she stopped for
him to enlighten her. Dicks the only
name l have down here" he said
Then changing the subject quickly, he
added, you say Mr.. Blake, as your
uHctes private secretary, was trusted
by him in many important matters? +?
Do you happen to know whether he
had the combination to his private
safe and deposit vaults?"
"Yes, l think he did"
"Then that will explain many mat
ters," was the quiet remark.
She watched him curiOusly, waiting
for him to explain, but he had grown
suddenly dumb. Walking to the win
dow In the alcove he glanced through
it. A wonderful panorama of the
sea WAS SpIcdQ DclOIe llllu. SHe lOI-
lowed, and together they watched the

mated by the simmering path of gold

Suddenly her eyes opened wide,
and, with finger pointing, she ex-
claimed eXultantly, "a ship! Rescue's

The yacht was in plain sight from
the alcove window, but from the bed
side Of their patient it was still in

their heads in that direction, and
sighed with relief when they saw

backs to them. Dick reached up and
pulled down the shade.

He thrust into her hands Rlake's
automatic and kept the one he had
taken from McGee.
With as little display of emotion
or excitement as he could assume, he
crossed the room to the bedside. Doc
tor" he said quietly, 'I'll be gone

now. Take orders from her Remem-
ber, If there's any attempt at trickery.
you'll pay"
He waved the gun eloquently be
fore the mans face and then turned
and quietly slipped from the room.
He stopped on the front piazza and
watched the approaching vessel. With
In half an hour she would land,
Meanwhile, he had to do something.
The yacht was steaming under forced
draft which convinced Dick that
Brent had picked up his wireless and
was hurrying to arrive before any
other ship received the news. The
broadcast call for help had aroused
Brent's suspicious, especially as it had
not gone forth In the code agreed
upon by him and his confederate.
For ten minutes Dick remained an
impassive observer of the scene, his
wits completely numbed. There
seemed no way out of his difficulty ex-
cept to fight Brent single-handed. This
of itself was not so alarming, but
the fear that members of the crew
would overwhelm him in the end dis
turbed him. How many other con-
federates Brent had aboard the yacht
he could not say.
In the midst of his perplexity an
idea came to him, and his grave,
solemn face lighted up with hope. In
stead of going down to meet the in
coming boat he retreated into the
house and hurried up the stairs to the
sick chamber.
The three watchers raised their
heads at his entrance. Dick nodded
and said nonchalantly, 'How's the pa
tient, doctor?"
Improving, sir"

CHAPTER XIV

Although Barnett, as the newly ap-
pointed captain Of the Pelican, was
nominally in command, Dick assumed
charge and began active preparations
for meeting the enemy. The yacht
was ransacked for firearms, and with
every member of the crew armed with
some sort Of weapon he divided his
men into two squads.
Captain Barnett was left in charge
of the yacht while Dick led half the
crew up to the house. Alice accom-
panied him, although he sought to
hold her back. II want to see how
uncle is," she gave as an excuse.
Unable to combat this argument
Dick permitted her to trail in the rear.
Without ceremony he burst into the
front door, and then more cautiously
made his way up to the sick chamber,
followed by his men.
Marie, white Of face and trembling
violently, met him at the doorway.
"Oh, it's your! she cried in relief.
"I was afraid 1t was that horrid cap

Dick swung around before she fin

his nearest men in descending the
stairs. There was a possible chance
Of heading Brent of before he reached
the cave to release the prisoners, and
he made hasty flight in that direc-

FLAGSTAFF IN THE EYES OF
EUROPE
phoenix Gazette)

Flagstaff looms up sufficiently
important in the eyes of Europe to
be the recipient of an order from a
London pictorial newsgathering syn
dicate for batch of photographs and
the news matter that will explain
them when they are published, as
they will be in the leading pictorial
magazines of all Europe. The re-
quest is. not so much compliment to
Flagstaff as it is a recognition of
the important fact that Flagstaff is
the center of the most picturesque
part of the known world. The Grand
Canyon, the painted desert, the pet
rified forest, the crater mountain, the
beautiful land and water scapes that
everywhere abound in the vicinity
of Flagstaff, make of that city an
ideal place from which to start on a
tour of the wonderland of Arizona.
We expect Europe will soon know
Flagstaff quite as well as does Amer,
