ing jobs in Washington last night

Frightened Off
The cracksmen missed a rich
haul at the H Street address,
where they battered the two safes
of L. R. Duehring, manufacturing
jeweler. It is believed that they
were frightened off before their
efforts to remove the doors of
the safe were successful.
The New York Avenue job was
an attempt on the safe of M. L.
Michael Company. Winston G.
Radford, an employe of the estab-
lishment reported to police that
when he reported for work this
morning he found that the COM
bination of the safe had been
knocked off.

the safes badly smashed, combi-
nations and hinges being knocked

WORKERS
CLAIM $4,000
j" BACKPAY
Ponies Sold to Feed Livestock; /;
New Car Suit Filed; Mer-
chants, Legion Still Give Help

Stalwart determination Of the
400 employees Of the stranded 1Ol
Ranch Wild West Show today
frustrated an effort on the part
of the owners to pack up the
show and send it back to Okla
homa. -
An army Of laborers, recruited
downtown, went to the circus lot
in taxicabs this morning, hired
by Fred Olmstead, representative
of the owners, to tear down the
tents and place the livestock and
equipment on flat cars for lnov-
ing.
No Disorders About 1t
The army arrived but failed to
take its objective, There was no
disorder, but when the labOrers
ahghted from their cabs the
trOupers of the show lined up ON
the other side of the street.
Razorbacks with the circus then
mingled with small groups of the
laborerS.
"YOu wouldn't take the bread
out of our mouths, would you?
We haven't been paid for eight
weeks and you don't know
whether we'll ever be paid"
That was all the razor.backs
said, but the labor army faded
quickly and the tents still stood.
$4,000 Owed Men
Capt. Michael Ready, Of the
Ninth precinct, with more than a
score of policemen stood by, but
they weren't needed.
For a few moments the Situa-
ton was tense, but the reasoning
of the razor backs won the day.
When the attempt failed, repre-
sentativeS of the 400 workers re-
sumed negotiations with Mr.. Ohm
stead at the Raleigh Hotel.
There were reports on the lot
that representatives of the troup-
ers had agreed to compromise and
accept half of the amount OF
back pay due the workers. The
total owed them is about $23 900.
Ponies Go For Feed
Live stock Of the show was
figuratively eating two Of their
own members today. Two pinto
ponies, high school horses" were
sold yesterday to provide feed
for the remaining animals.
Performers and animals went
through regular workouts under
the big tent today "just to keep
in shape"
The American Legion and the
merchants of the produce market
next to the circus lot provided
two meals today for the trOupers.
Medical supplies and clothing
were also furnished by mer-
chants.
Suit Filed Today
Major Henry G.. Pratt, chief
of police, is considering a plan
to require Sircuses in the future
to put up a bond to insure the
removal of the show and pay
ment Of employees before perform
