The coming of Labor day glves people the opportunity of a three-day hollday The large stores will be closed tomorrow and Monday, following which all will begin to take care of the expected heavy fall and winter trade. D. C. THEATER STRIKE TOMORROW DOUBTED Despite the fact that contracts of union motion-picture operators, musi- clans and stage hands in local theaters expire tomorrow the labor horizon is clear from strike clouds, and no ulti- matums have been received by either side, it was learned today. Although _the conferences _between committees representing cach group have been held for almost three weeks, there has been no reported endeavor’ for a tie-up made by either side, and the set- tlement, it was predicted today, would be_made soon. Retroactive terms will be included in the final settlement, it was sald today, making effective the contracts when signed as of the date of September 1. The workers are asking increases, vary. ing in the respective lines to such an ex- tent that a voluminous amount of data and wage scale statistics have been submitted. Managers, it was said, are willing to make some increases, although not as much as employes are asking. tions of work and hours also figure in the discussions. Spokesmen for the theater managers sald today that the negotiations were pursuing a smooth, al- though a sharply defined course, and | that the disagreements were honest dif- ferences of opinion on both sides. NEW COAL SOURCE SHOWN The Interstate Commerce Com- mission’s recent ruling that the country is not now in need of new sources of coal brought today an application from the Pocahontas Fuel Company, owners of vast coal flelds, to_be heard on the question. In denying, on June 24, a request of the Virginlan rallway to build a one-mile branch line to serve new mines of the Pocahontas company, the commission asserted that a few mines would produce more coal for the nation, because railroad facllities and rolling stock could be better con- centrated. The ruling previously had been at- tacked as unconstitutional by the railroad company, and the Pocahontas company in its plea today urged the commission to reopen the case and to hear the evidence of the fuel com- panies which produce the coal. ments in happiness here. 1514 K Street “Flapper” Heels, Spanish, Louis, Military Covered Heels Growing Girls’ models in ent Leat ing tan fords.
