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.

Ilia's Vindication," which will be
shown 'odiiy and tomorrow at t lie

"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.
