Soldier Employes to Have
Post of American Legion
The first definite step toward or
ganizing American Legion posts to
consist exclusively of Pennsylvania
Railroad employes who have been in
the service was taken in Philadel
phia on Wednesday when represent
atives from the general office of the
railroad applied for a charter.
The application was forwarded to
the county committee and was im
mediately approved by George Went
worth Carr, county chairman
of the legion. It was then for
warded by the state headquarters of
New York for the opproval of the
j national organization.
There are 2 7,000 service men who
are employed on the Pennsylvania
Railroad system. In fact, it was the
Pennsylvania Railroad that gave to
the War Department the Director <
General of transportation in France,
General W. W. Atterbury, who is
greatly interested in enrolling the
employes in the legion.
No-Accident Drive Will
Take in United States
"No-accident" campaigns con
ducted locally throughout the coun
try have met with such success that
the United States Railroad Admin
istration b£is decided to hold a "no
accident drive" during the last two
weeks of October.
Officially the campaign will be
known as the "national railroad ac
cident prevention drive." During
the time in which it is held every
railroad in the country will take
steps to reduce the number of acci
dents to a minimum.
According to word received from
the local offices of the railroad ad
ministration, an effort will.be made
to make the campaign the greatest
elTort of the kind ever held. An ed
ucational campaign will be con
ducted, with the hope of instructing
people outside of railroad service of
the constructive and effective work
to insure safety that is being car
ried on to-day.

STRIKING ACTORS
WILL PRODUCE
THEIR OWN PLAYS
I o Enter as Rivals to!
the Managers' Asso
ciation
By Associate! Press.
New York, Aug. 16.—Twenty-one
unionized stage stars of the first
magnitude will appear at the Lex
ington Avenue Opera House next
Monday night in a "gala perform
ance," which marks the plunge of
the Actors' Equity Association into
the producing field as a rival of the
Producing Managers' Protective As-
I sociation, according to an announce
ment Issued ot "Equity" headquar
ters.
The coming hard
on the heels of a report that the
managers were planning a "lock
out" again-st all actors affiliated
with the union, was declared to
mean that "if the managers won't
furnish the public amusement, the
actors will."
Three Hebrew theaters in the
East Side also have been obtained j
by the striking actors it was stated,
and all-star companies are being
formed to present legitimate plays
in these. The actors hope later to
obtain Broadway houses for their
own productions, it was said, but,
failing in this, will make an effort
to "move the Rialto to the East
Side."
Flying squadrons of strikers ad
dressed street-corner meetings in
Broadway last night, announcing
the "big show," with the boastful
promise, "we'll have so much talent
that we'll have to use stars for
supers."
Among the stars announced for
the Lexington Avenue opening,
which will he a vaudeville produc
tion, were Frank Bacon, Ethel liar
rymore, Lionel Barrymore, Sam
Bernard, Barney Bernard, Ed. Can
tor, Marie Dressier, Raymond Hitch
cock, Blanche Ring, Joe S'antley,
Ivy Sawyer Frank Unrey, Pearl
White, Vai? and Schenck, Ed. Wynn
and Frank Fay.
The Playhouse, which has been
closed since the beginning of the
strike, reopened last night with "At
9.4 5." This reduced the number of
closed theaters to eleven and raised
the number open to thirteen."
Fares Go Down as
Wages Are Raised
on Cleveland Trolleys
By Associated Press.
Washington, Aug. 16. Etched
against the dark background of the
Massachusetts Electric Railways
crisis, a first-hand report on Cleve
land's experience with its now fa
mous street car plan stood out viv
idly to-day before the Federal Elec
tric Railways Commission.
For two hours yesterday Chair- j
man Frederick J. MacLeod, of the
Massachusetts Public Service Com- j
mission, spoke of the causes leading !
to the abandonment of lines in that !
State to a ten-cent flat rate carfare |
in Boston and elsewhere and to the j
calling of a special session of the i
Legislature to deal with the emer- j
gency.
Mr. MacLeod gave place to Field- \
er Sanders, City Commissioner of j
Cleveland for street railways, and i
the picture he drew was startling by
contrast. The Cleveland plan, he
said, has worked out so successfully
that recently fares went down eight
per cent, almost simultaneously
with a twenty-five per cent. Increase
In wages to all employes of the j
company operating the roads. The I
plant, ho said, was now rated as the j
finest surface system in the coun- !
try, having been completely rehabil
itated since the plan become effec
tive. The city controls the railway
and pays the company six per cent,
on its investment.
