ture of the f1remens strike.
1t was pointed out that the
strike is only a partial one as
far as the entire rail system of the
country is concerned. For that
reason, they said, essential ship
ments can be moved on other
lines, even though this would be
inconvenient. Some freight could
be shifted to trucks.
Also, it was said that the fire.
mems union has agreed to provide
f1remen for locomotives on trains

The train was to have three

The trains will leave Washington

Railroad officials reported no
unusual incidents in the operation
of the final trains scheduled to
leave and arrive here.
They looked for no particular
hardships for the area because of
the freight embargo. although
there undoubtedly will be slower
movement of cars since fewer rail-
roads will be handling freight.
Southern said enough workmen
were available today to move the
few cars tied up in the yards here.
A special effort will be made to
service Southern towns which
have no other railroad to carry
their supplies.
22 Trains Cancelled.
When striking firemen refused
to operate Chesapeake g. Ohio
trains over Southern line, the C.,
d o. was forced to discontinue
passenger service to Washington,
Chicago, Toledo and Columbus.
A total of % trains were knocked
out. Freight was not affected
since the c. & o. does not use
tracks of struck railroads for this
service.
Despite warnings from railroads
and an embargo on freight and
passenger service, numerous trav-
elers were caught in the middle
here. Travellers Aid was busy CIV
ing advice.
Airlines reported big demand
for reservations and some were
anticipating the need for extra
equipment if the strike continues
over the week end.
Among the stranded travellers
were two families of displaced per-
sons, who found the going tougher
because they do not speak Eng
lish. The family of Adam Marks
speaks Latvian and that of Ivan
PScheWitSchzlow knows only Rus

The Travellers Aid took them in

Senate Hotel until they can con-

In anticipating the strike, the
Pennsylvania cut short three
runs of Western-bound trains last
night. The Chicago Limited ran

Rail WaIkout Is Cited
As Pointing Up Need
For knti-Sfrike Law

Senator Donnell. Republican, Of
Missouri said today the walkout
of locomotive f1remen on four
major railroads emphasized the
need for early action by Congress
on his bill to outlaw strikes by
railway unions.
The strike took place while a
subcommittee of the Senate Labor
Committee was in the middle of
hearings on the Donnell bill,
which provides for settlement of
railway and airline disputes by
compulsory arbitration.
Democrats on the committee
refused immediate comment, but
Senator Donnell said the strike
illustrates very clearly the i'm
portance of legislation to deal
with such Nationwide problems. "
He said that Congress should now
see the necessity of early favor
able action on his bill.
De Butts Warns of Perils.
Harry A. De Butts, vice presi-
dent in charge Of operations Of
the Southern Railway system, in
testimony prepared for the sub
committee said:
"A railroad strike such as that
now threatened against our lines,
the Santa Fe, the New York Gen.
tral and the Pennsylvania, would
have an immediate and disas-
trous effect on the public interest.
ut would bring about almost
instantaneous paralysis Of the life
of the large parts of the country
served by these four major sys-
TENS, bringing the terror OF star
vation and disease to great num-
bers of citizens"
1T would render this country
almost helpless under attack of a
foreign enemy.
''It would cause widespread
paralysis of economic activity in
large sections of the country, with
untold loss Of property and pro-
duction."
Short Line Leader Called.
C. A. Miller, vice president and
general counsel of the American
Short Line Railroad Association,
also was called to testify today
before the committee.
Urging support of the anti
strike measure, Mr.. Miller said in
q prepared statement that the
union was seeking to compel the
railroads to yield. to their de-
mand for a useless second fireman
in the face of the fact that
two separate and distinct emer-
gency boards appointed by the
President have thoroughly investi-
gated the subject and decided that
there is no merit in the demands
of the union"
IF union can call a paralyz-
ing strike under such circum-
stances as these" Miller said,
then not only has the Railway
Labor Act failed. but the Nation
has failed"

Royal theatre Thursday and Fri
day, Nov. 1917, a 10-minute spar
king musical film short starring
Bob Hope and featuring IS Of
Americas most courageous and
talented disabled veterans - all
paraplegics in wheel chairs.
The movie, entitled son Stage,
Everybody" is a colorful, enter
tanning one-reel film produced by
the disabled American veterans in
cooperation with the Association of
Motion Picture Producers. 1t is
distributed through the patriotic
efforts of the committees of gen.
eral sales managers.
In thrilling scenes and speciality
acts, paraplegic veterans Of World
war II who are confined to their
wheel chairs give an amazing per-
Torrance that demonstrates the
bravery and tenacity of young men
who have fought their way back
from battlefields to civilian life.
Exciting circus feats, with high

and trapeze skill by paraplegics
are combined with western scenes
and songs and wheel chair Utter
bugging for a sensational musical
revue.

the cast.
The film is not a fund raising
project. 1t was designed to portray
dramatically the courage and te-
nacity of more than three million
disabled veterans who have fought
their way back to useful citizen
ship. 1t also demonstrates how
successfully the rehabilitation pro-
gram for our disabled veterans has
been developed and proves why

safeguarded.
