TRIG 10 AVERT THREATENED STRIKE WASHINGTON', Ann. 4. Jule,e William I,. Chambers, c oiiiniisiniier of the United 'States ijonrii of meilifi tion and coneiliatinu conferred with l're.sideiit Wilson today- over the threatened strike of 4011,0110 railroad employes. They discussed every phase of the situation hut Jiuljie Chandlers told the president he believed there was nothing formal that the 'federal eovermueiit could do until the rnilro:id officials and the union officials meet aifuin next week after the counting of the strike vole has been completed. limine Chambers thinks that the sit uation is not hopeless and that there is still a chance for the ctnploycr. und employes to reacli an agreement. The hoard of mediation and concilia tion expects to he called in if such a break appears inevitable. NKYV YORK', Aut,'. 4-It is expect ed that the conference cuinmittett of the railroad malingers will, tif-ain re fuse the men's demands at the meet ing next Tuesday and that the man agers will advocate arbitration by the interstate commerce commission or the federal board of mediation; or that the strike be settled under the Ncttlands acl of 11)14 by a com mission of six men, two to he ap pointed from either side and two to be neutral. It is not regarded us like ly that the labor leaders will consent to this. In ease of a deadlock the railway uiamigcrs look to President Wilson to take a hand in the controversy by calling representatives of both sides to Washington and notifying them they must compose their differences in the public interest.

AI PAGE TONIGHT Four Triangle players, Xormn Tal nuidge, Tnlly Marshall, Ralph Lewis and Scena Owen, are featured in the new riril'fith-Triunide drama. Mar Ilia's Vindication," which will be shown 'odiiy and tomorrow at t lie Vniso theater. "Murlha's Vindication" is a mo tion picture story of vital theme, new material, admirable structure, artis tic treatment and interpreted by ft cluster of stars. That is snyiug great deal, but it comes over like i refreshing; draught of cool water, sparkling; and invigorating, in com parison with a lot "f stale beer of adaptation from exhausted sources. While all the story elements are pres ent, there is a strong undercurrent of protest npninst religious bigotry, par ticularly that of organizations which arrogate to themselves the privilege of making a superficial examination of the lives of members nnd bringing a'toiit social de-tructiou where social helpfulness would be more in ac cord with the spirit nf Chri-tinnity. This is populi'; motif just now, partic ularly in the smaller towns, hence "Martha's Vindication' will meet with warm approval among big-hearted and magnanimous American peo ple throughout the land. The i-tory is far from being tin cii-.y one to tell, but it structure is without blemish, .itirf the spnrkling subtitles help every inch of the way. The authtir is to be emt:ratulated .or getting nwnv trum tl0 hi:iri trick into new fields without wander ing or wasting time. lnteie-t never sag:-.
