There are some police officials who think that the officers riding around in & car will lose the nal contact with the residents on their beats, which has proved so helpful in the past in pro- ducing information in times of emer- gencles. The automobile patrol idea scored a point today, when James Howzell, col- ored, 25 years old, of 1215 Seventh street, was arrested immediately after hurling a brick through the window of the Fritz Jewelry Co.'s store, at 1330 Seventh street. Officer Hears Crash. Policeman J. L. Taylor was driving a police patrol car early today when he heard the crash saw Howzell standing in front of the shattered display window. The of- ficer leaped from machine, pl the man under arrest and took him to MUSICIANS' STRIKE DUE SEPTEMBER 19 AS PARLEY FAILS: Truce Extended, but Theater Owners and Employes Are Deadlocked. PUBLIC SUPPORT ASKED TO KEEP “LIVING MUSIC” Employers’ Association Meets Threat With Promise Show Houses “Will Not Be Dark.” With no recision thus far of the sympathy strike order issued last month by the International Alliance of The- atrical Stage Emplcyes, indications in ‘Washington's tangled movie controversy today were that all organized union theatrical employes in local motion pic- ture houses would walk out September 19. Musicians in local theaters will be “shut out” after that date, because of the failure of negotiations between the Musicians’ Protective Union and the ex- ecutives of the local theaters at a con- ference in New York yesterday. The strike order, which was issued last month when the musicians and their employers were deadlocked, was to take effect in the event no agreement was reached between the two factions over a renewal of contract. Fred J. Stevens, president of the Moving Pic ture Machine Operators’ Union here, said this morning that the crder of his organization’s national headquarters to go on strike still is in effect, and all union men in local houses must follow these instructions. Time Extended. The musicians’ contract, which was in blanket form between the local mu- gicians’ union and the Motion Picture Theater Owners' Association of the Dis- trict, expired August 31. A truce, how- ever, was agreed to in New York Au- gust 28, which preserved the status quo of the musicians for a period of two weeks after expiration. Yesterday's meeting, which failed entirely to make way for renewal of a contract, resulted of this truce until Sep- tember 19, to allow theaters presenting stage shows to complete their week. Following the conference in New ‘York, which was held in the office of Joseph N. Weber, president of the American Federation of Musicians, John E. Birdsell, secretary of the local mu- sicians’ union, issued the following statement: rations controlling the A c‘l‘z’k‘.\:dmyth 'mlln to te with houses, w] Pl Tate Wi ller orchestras. i 5 means practical elimination of ‘living music’ from the theaters of our city, “The success of these large corpora- tions in cramming a cheap form of entertainment down the throats of the g"mfl demndl, of upon the eater-going public. attempt to give the people of Washington mechan- ized performances, whose proper %l:.cl is the nickel orpheum and cl ]2 muse may succeed, but the have a right to judge whether the admission fees to the theaters are being reduced to conform with the cheapening g& the peflor‘::;hmt:u uun‘}:h ‘The mt ns are ting & h:sfi:‘nflrmlnhuc and cultural enter- tainment in the playhouses of the land which the people support and with the help of the citizens of Wi continue this fight indefinitely.” ‘The employers have been willing to hire a number of musicians for work in the Fox and ‘Theaters, but would not enter into contract for these ensembles. This arrangement was not agreeable to the Musicians’ Union, how- ever, with the result that the conference yesterday ended in a hopeless deadlock. Owners Defiant, ‘The Motion Picture Theater Owners’ Association, through its president, A. Julian Brylawski, has met the strike threat of the employes with the an- nouncement that Washington theaters “would not be dark.” The managers, however, falled to indicate just what method of meeting a walk-out would be Brylawski said this morning that he had received official confirmation this morning of the dev:‘lgmenu in New York yesterday. He that after five hours of parleying no headway was made. The only concession the mu- sicians would make, he sald, was to propose a 5 per cent reduction in the number of musicians to be used in Washington theaters. This, he said, was not satisfactory to the managers. LIEUT. CAMPBELL NAMED AS AIDE TO ADMR. PRATT course, The Lieut.
