ating an hour. returned YER

against ColfaX Theatre, local
subsidiary of the Paramount Pub
lix Theatre Corporation.
According to the testimony
presented at the trial, in Nov
ember, 1892, DR.. Gilbert, in com
pany with visiting minister.
purchased tickets to the thea
ne. Although the tickets entitl-
ed them to sit anywhere in the
theatre, the usher blocked their
passage to the main floor and
directed the ministers to the
balcony. DR.. Gilbert objected
to this and was informed thai
the managemen reserved the
right to seat patrons wherever
Il was desirable. In the mean
time. whites were pouring into
the main floor and DR. Gilbert
insisted that he and his guest
be permitted to sit on the main
floor, finally asking whether he
were being refused because Of
his color. He was informed that
that was not the question, but
the manager simply did not want
him on the fist floor.
While the argument was going
on DR.. Street. local dentist,
who is fair enough to be mis-
taken for white, passed en- route
to the main floor and stopped
long enough to listen to the
statement of the manager. He
appeared at the trial and cor
roborated DR.. Gilbert's testimo-
ny and the tickets were pre-
scented as further evidence.

RAILROAD LEADERS
ANNOUNCE PAY CUT
Notify Union Employees Of 12H
Per Cent Cut, Ask Them
To Conference

Chicago, June l5.-(P)-America
railroads Thursday notified their un-
ion employees an additional cut of 1917
per cent in dages would be made ef-
fective next November /.
The announcement, made through
the railway executive association, said
in effect that previous temporary
deduction Of 10 per cent" would be
made permanent and that an addi-
tional 12is per cent from the basic
wage scale.
Officials Of the employees associa-
tions have announced flatly the union
workers would not accept such a cut.
The railroads asked that represen-
tatives of the union employees meet in
conference with them in Chicago July
IL, as provided by the national rail-
way labor act, to discuss the proposed
cuts.
Although not touching upon their
own financial conditions, the rail-
roads said the proposed adjustment
would bring the wage rates to rail-
way workers more nearly in line with
living costs and with rates paid in
other industries" The announcement
pointed out that although wages have
been reduced 10 per cent, effective
until next Nov. I, there has been no
permanent reduction in the basic
rates.

Stumbling Blocks

Something OF furOre was caused
at Geneva the other day when the
japanese announced they could not
agree to renounce bombardment from
the air unless aircraft carriers were
abolished also.
The statement was regarded as just
another of the numerous bars to pro-
gress.
Why this is SO goes to the very
heart Of the disarmament question,
the rather obvious lack of sincerity
on the part of the nations involved,
with Japan itself one of the major
offenders.
The Japanese can, and probably do,
mean what they say about airplane
carriers. Such abandonment would
be a big help to them. But when it
comes to submarines, mines and other
items of defense for their island en-
pire they have not been so reasonable.
1t follows quite naturally that, If
there is to be no bombardment from
the air, we need no aircraft carriers
as base for bombing planes. In that
the Japanese stand is logical enough.
The difficulty is that the demand
makes more than a gesture Of the
proposal to abolish such lombard
ment. In so far as Japan is concern
ed it would make the agreement
real one.
Therein lies the trouble. Any at
tempt to substitute actual perform
ance for fine expressions is STUN
bling block at the disarmament con-
