CHICAGO MOVIE
THEATRES OPEN;
LOCKOUT ENDS

CHICAGO, Sept. 5 Chicago
movies will move again tomorrow
after approximately 400 motion pic
ture shows and vaudeville houses had
been closed since last Monday be-
cause one theater wanted to en-
Dloy two operators and the union
insisted that it employ four.
The strick and lockout was ended
this evening in the offices of Mayor
Thompson, where exhibitors, machine
operators and stage hands repre-
sentatives met after the mayor had
announced he represented the pub
lib which wanted movies over Sum
day and Labor Day.
The terms of settlement were not
divuiged, it being announced that
both sides had agreed to keep them
secret. Mayor Thompson, in a state
ment, however, ri that "the fina.
settlement was q compromise, which
showed a splendid spirit of Amer
icanism" The mayors statement
said that 'all parties concerned left
happy"
The strike and lockout was est
mated to have thrown $4,000 theater
employees out Of work for most OF
a week, to have tied up theatrical
investments of upward of $4,000 ,OOO
resulted in lost receipts Of more than
$1O0OOOO and forced about 100000
movie fans tc seek some other form
of diversion for week.
The trouble started when the Bel
mont theater, which recently changed
its policy and became vaudeville
house, decided to dispense. with the
services of two of it's four machine
operators, while the union insisted
that the theater's contract called Tor
employing four men.
The operators union called ma
chine operators of all Orpheum CIR
cult theaters, with which the Bel
mont is affiliated, out on strike
Monday afternoon and two hours
later the exhibitors retaliated with
a lockout, closing upward of 400
movie and vaudeville houses.
During the week the contract of
the stage hands expired and they
joined forces with. the operators by
calling general strike in Chicago
houses. The disute with operators
and stage hands was reported set
tied today, but the musicians union
contract expires Monday although
negotiations for new contract are
said already to be under way.
The dispute resulted in the closing
of nearly every theater in the Chi
cago metropolitan district, but few
neighborhood houses continued to
operate as long as they could obtain
films and attorneys for the operators
threatened court action against film
agents to compel them to give out
pictures after it was reported they
had joined with. exhibitors and had
refused to- do so. This the booking
agencies denied, however. fU

ZIONIST URGE
NEW POLICY OF
REHABILITATION N

BALSES, Switzerland, Sept. g.
(Jewish Telegraphic Agency)-Adop-
ton of new policy and the employ
ment of new methods to check the
present crisis in Palestine and to pave
the way for the beginning of a new
period of reconstruction and expan-
sion of Zionist work in Palestine is
advocated by Vladimir Jabotinsky,
leader of the league of Zionist revi-
sionists, the extreme oppositional group
within the Zionist movement
Jabotinsky, founder of the Jewish
legion which fought with the allies in
the World war to liberate Palestine
from Turkish rule, delivered a stirring
address at the sixth session of the
Zionist congress yesterday.
The central point of his attack was
the external and internal policies pur-
sued by the International Zionist
movement under the present executive
with special reference to the Jewish
agency.
The leader of the zionists revision
lists, whose program includes plank
for the creation in Palestine of a
Jewish military unit, which would be-
equal in strength to the existing Arab
legion, severely criticized the Palestine
government and the Zionist executive,
claiming that they had failed to safe
guard the Jewish settlements in Pal
estine through military protection.
The Weismann policy found many
supporters during the general debate.
Strong exception to the arguments
of DR.. Stephen S. Wise, of New York,
who criticized the British government
for its Palestine policy, was taken up
by Philip Guec.@Zla, who is the presi-
dent OF, the federation of English Zion
lists.

LONDON STARTS WORK
FOR. UNIFORM VOLT

LONDON, (R-The first move has
been made in Britain's electrical revo-
luton. The change will raise the volt
age in west London to $4,000, four
times its previous power.
A thousand tons of machinery were
required to make the change. New
ables had to be laid to take the greater
load.
The change has been made neces-
sary by the interlinking of power sta
tions decreed by the electricity act of
1925. The whole of London's supply is
to be standardized at $4,000 volts.
AS conditions are now, London's
housewives find their electric irons,
curriers' and other appliances, useless
when they move from one district to
another, because of the different volt

The distance between Angora and

1850 miles. and Lieutenant Koen-

was not thought over sanguine view

miles from Cologne to Angora In
something less than Is hours.
Basra has radio communication
with Great Britain by way of Beruii

easiness.

fishes New Mark of
281.488 Miles Hour
In Winning Cup

VENICE, Italy, Sept. 26.-(F1-
Flight Lieutenant S. n. Webster, in
a super-marine Napier SIS mono
plane, today smashed all existing
sea-plane speed records in captur-
ing the famous Schneider Cup for
Great Britain. Italy had held the
cup for the past year. as a result
Of its victory over the United States
at Hampton Roads, in 1926.
Lieutenant Webster averaged
453.282 kilometers or 2sl.48S miles
and horr as compared with the rec
ord of 246.496 miles an hour es-
tablished by Major Mario de Ber-
na:di of the Italian royal air force
who won the race last year.
The Schneider Maritime aviation
cup, one Of the most famous trophies
in aviation, was captured by Italy
from the United States at Norfolk,
Va, last year. setting a new record
for sea planes by averaging more
than 4 1-l0 miles a minute. Italy
crossed the finish line with an
average speed of 246.496 miles an
hour.
Lieutenant +. Schilt Of the United
States navy was second with. 231.363
miles an hour as his average.
The defeat deprived the United
States of its chance of permanently
retaining the coveted international
trophy. The United States had won
in 1923 and 1925.
The cup was presented in 1912 to
the aero club Of France by Jacques
Schneider. French sportsman and
aviator. with a view to developing
high speed seaplanes. The country
winning the cup is required TO held
the race for the succeeding year.
