Fifteen thousand persons—opera- tors, musicians, ushers and stage hands—were without jobs and nearly 400,000 daily movie fans were de- prived of a place to go by the dis- pute over two union movie operators which brought about the row. Thea- tre owners estimated their total loss daily during the trouble would be close to $200,000. The only theatres not affected were the legitimate houses and a few neighborhood movie places, and even the neighborhod houses were periled by the announcement that film ex- changes may take part in the strug- wie and withhold films. The closing of the theatres fol- lowed a decigion of the Chicago Ex- hibitors association to discharge all union motion picture machine opera- tors and suspend employment of all) + “other help as a reprisal to a strike| called by the union operators in Orpheum circuit theatres. The strike was called because one of the| theatres, adopting a new policy, had cut its staff of operators from’ four to two. A conference between the union leaders and theatre owners yesterday was brief and ended in disagreement. Both factions announced they would not compromise. ¢ STRIKE AND LOCK-OUT MADE MORE STRINGENT shicago, Aug. 30.—()—The strike of*a few motion © pieture machine! operators and the lock-out of vir- tually all the others, affecting 350 theatres in Chicago, wes made more stringent today when the film ex- change managers decided to cut off all films to all motion ure thea- tres in the Chicago district.

D., Aug. 30.—A)— President Coolidge turned his atten- tion today to two problems of the west, a vast reclamation project in Washington state and a report on farm conditions . prerared by the American Society of Agricultural En- gineers, On his calling list was « delegation of Pacific coast citizens headed by Senator Jones of’ Washington, who came to Rapid City in the interest of the Columbia river basin reclamation proposal. “The delegation hoped to come away with Mr. Coolidge’s prom- ise that he would give the proposi- tion close study with a view to rec- ommendations to the next congress. The farm report was to be pre- sented by O. B. Zimmerman, presi- dent, and other members of the ag- ricultural engineers’ society. It called for “greater efficiency” among farmers and cautioned that they must be “more on the alert.” Suggests Early Senate Mecting In coming to the summer White House with his reclamation proposal, Senator Jones also desired to suggest to the president the convening of the senate one month before the regular opening of congress to give time for disposition of the Smith and Vare election contests. He said he saw no reason for a special session of congress for flood relief und other legislation, but thoaght it would help to give the senate a running start. The project for which Mr. Cool- idge’s approval was sought has been under advisement for years.

Alton J. Steeves, a Somerville chauffeur, one of the trio, ina state- ment to Cambridge police, blamed his troubles on James. Downey, Jr., 26, a local truckman and the nephew of a former division fire chief and son of a retired firemen. Downey “loved to watch fires and see the engines go,” declared Steeves. Robert W. Greatorey, 27, a boile maker, was the third man under ar- rest and, with Steeves, was held in $8,000 bond, while Downey's bond was set at $10,000. The fires originally had been at- tributed by Cambridge police to sym- pathizers of Sacco and Vanzetti, but this theory was later discarded when suspicion turned to Downey and his companions. Dog Seen in Car The arrests were brought about by a woman who lives near one of the burned buildings, who reported the number ‘of an automobile in which a man and a small white dog dis- appeared after running behind the building just before the fire was discovered. When officers traced the machine to Downey's house they were greeted by the dog, and, although the woman was unable to pick Downey from a lineup, a second woman, who lives companies themselves, through volun-|near another of the burned build- tary and wholehearted cooperation, or threugh compulsory unit pool op- eration, or some other method, the time is preeminently ripe for action.” |. The secretary, who is chairman of the Federal Oil Conservation board, ‘called attention. to the tremendous. overproduction of the Smackover and |Seminole pools with its attendant i waste of billions of feet of valuable’ igas, and pleaded for “constructive statesmanship to save an overcom- petitive industry from itself.” “What is needed,” he declared, “is not government interfering with busi- ness nor business meddling with gov- ernment, but government helping in- dustry for its own and the public) good.” Unless the industry is able to co- operate in the conservation program, ings, reported men, car and dog and described the animal perfectly.

Levine, whose amazing lone flight from Le Bourget, France, to Croydon yesterday is attracting as much at- tention here as a fresh transatlantic achievement, says he is going on to America somehow, “if I die in the attempt.” His next step is to find a pilot for his transatlantic plane Columbia, and he expressed every confidence of succeeding. He was besieged this morning by airmen eager to serve and had the names of a score or more ‘to select from, but he still hopes that Captain Hinchcliffe, well-known imperial air- ways pildt, will be his man, " One flyer, Captain Arthur Mills, a former war pilot, told Levine he was pre~ pared to start tonight, while Flight Licutenant G. Birkett, pilot for taxi- flights at Croydon, said he was ready to start the minute the Columbia can be made ready. Family to Join Him Mr. Levine asserted he expected to remain in Londo: his wife and daughter joining him here. He declared he did not leave France with the intention of eluding Maurice Drouhin, the French airman, who had agreed to pilot the Columbia back to the United States from France, but that he would pay Drouhin 100,000 franes and deliver their contract. The owner of the Columbia ex- plained that he desired a pilot who did not expect perfect conditions for his attempt to fly across the ocean, adding: “I've been trying to get Drouhin to take off for America, but he is unwilling to take a chance with- out perfect weather.” Opinions Differ It is yet to be seen whether the air ministry will have’ anything to say in the matter of a British pilot taking over the plane for guidance to America, While opinions differ respecting the manner in which Levine quit France in defiance of air navigati regulations, most commentators ara amused at the cool daring of his ex- ploit, and some surprise is expressed that ‘it did not end in tragedy.
