BLUE sunday
FIGHT RACES
At COLUMBUS
Arrested Theater Owner
Threatens Trouble for
28 Others.
ASSERTS SHOW WANTED
Considers Amusement That
Motion Pictures Give
a Necessity.

RU Times SDectat
COLUMBUS, Ind, April 10.-With
four men under arrest and the pos
Sibility that tWenty~eight others
may face charges, this city is in the
thick of blue Sunday" war.
Trouble started Sunday when
Frank J. Rembusch, Shelbyville,
owner of two theaters here, opened
one of them. Fifteen minutes later
he was arrested, charged with VIC
lating the state blue law, as was his
son, Truman Rembusch and Donald
Wagner.
In retaliation, Rembusch filed
charges of Sabbath dissertation
against o. B. Anderson, a city coun-
Gilman and druggist, accused by
Rembusch of selling tobacco on
Sunday. The theater owner has a
list of twenty-eight other persons he
declared violated the blue law.
Police Broke Door
The present controversy recalls a
bitter fight against Sunday shows
here three years ago. At that time,
a police officer broke down the door
of a motion picture machine booth
to arrest the operator.
Anderson took up a collection to
aid in prosecution of the persons
arrested.
Ralph H. Spaugh is waging the
legal part of the fight for Rem
busch. He indicated that if Prose-
cutting Attorney William H. Dob
bins refuses to issue aff1davids in
the other twenty eight cases, a
mandamus suit may be filed.
Rembusch, in a statement COM
menting on the blue law situa-
ton here, says in part:
we have made during the last
five years a careful survey of what
the people of Columbus want and
know that IS per cent feel that
clean, wholesome amusement and
recreation is a necessity on Sunday.
We will go further and say that 90
per cent of the people of Bartholo-
NEW county will be found riding
in automobiles, playing golf, play
ing cards down by the creeks in
the summer time, operating the
radio or player piano or in some
way finding happiness and diver
sionS on Sunday from strenuous
labor of today.
Recalls Previous Fight
"Three years ago we opened the
Crump theater on Sunday and were
interfered with by police officials.
We were brought to trial in the city
court and lost the case because Of
f1cials called wives of the clergy
and only persons who never go to
a show, even on week day, and
want every joy suppressed, for jury
service.
I'VE took the case to the circuit
court and in a few minutes were
acquitted by citizens who, by their
verdict, proved that clean, whole
some amusement is necessary, and
that the people of Columbus want
it and they should have what they
want and need"

How Exchange Looks
The purpose of this article and
the two that will follow it is to tell
just how the New York Stock Elk
change operates.
A few minutes before 10 o'clock
of every business day, the chief re-
porter of the New York Stock EX-
change enters small balcony about
twenty feet above the spacious,
square trading floor.
Looking below, he sees approx
mately 1000 men. Some are brokers
who buy and sell stocks for COM
missions, acting merely as agents.
There are dealers and traders who
buy and sell for themselves. There
are two dollar brokers"
These are the men who free
lance" for other brokers or dealers
or traders and who are so called be-
cause in bygone days their commits
sions used to be So out of the COM
tomary $3.50 that brokers received
for buying or selling 500 shares of
stock for a customer. Then there
are the telegraph operators and
pages.
The Trading Posts
On the floor are about twenty cir
cular booths, Is feet apart These
are the trading posts, the very nerve
centers of this mighty mart of trade.
The upper portions Of these
posts have twelve faces, each de-
voted to several stocks. For each
stock there is a metal plate that
bears its name and movable figures
which record its changes in price.
Below this is a record of its status
day by day for several weeks back.
On one side of each post are pneu-
matte tubes in which orders are sent
to So-called specialists, men who
deal in some specific stocks alone,
and to the "odd lot" dealers-those
who buy and sell blocks of less than
100 shares, which more than LOO
clerks use 1000 telephones to keep
in instantaneous touch with the Of
fees of the exchange members
whom they serve.
The Annunciator Board
High up on the wall at the OPP
posite side of the room from the
chief reporters position are big
black frames, more than twenty
feet square; these are the annuncia-
tor call boards on which, as soon
as the days trading begins, scores
Of white numerals will be seen
flashing on and off.
These are signals to certain brok-
ers that they are wanted at their
telephone booths. Every one of the
LOO members of the New York
Stock Exchange is assigned call
number, so that when his telephone
clerks need to summon him, the
employees touch a switch in the
telephone booth and instantly the
brokers' number appears on the call
board.
Out on the broad trading floor
the chief reporter sees several high
ly delicate mechanisms, called ticker
transmitters, on which operators
are ready to send out reports Of
sales by use of typewriter-like cleo
trical equipment that makes the
tape-like paper records seen in
brokers' offices.
The Big Gong Rings
High up over the posts, where it
may be viewed readily by all these
men, are what appear to be small
motion picture screens: on these are
flashed the complete reports of all
sales.
