The annual Tombleson reunion will be held at the Legion Memorial Park, Sunday lAugust 14. o RAILROADS TO CONSOLIDATE CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE approval was conditioned upon certain changes in the plan submitted ■ by the four big systems. Most of the roads' own proposals were accepted. The commission completely withdrew from Its original position that there be a fifth eastern system headed by the Wabash and Seaboard Air Line. The roads now must agree to the modified plan and then secure the commission's approval for each of the scores of transactions required to complete the four systems. This process may take years. Over 200 different railroad companies are concerned in -the consolidation. In brief, the four-party plan represents the commission's idea of the best possible,means of building strong lines and yet retaining a maximum of competition. Every large city will be served by two or more roads, as will every port and every section. Import mt effects of the plan an: modified by the commission, are: I The New York Central, through I a connection with the Lackawanna , would secure a new district Route to Chicago and gain access to lake Michigan for operation of car ferries to Wisconsin. It would get the Virginian and access to Virginia ports. The Chesapeake and Ohio-Nickel Plate, the Van Sweringen line, would gain its long sought goal, en-l trance into New York and use of the Pennsylvania terminal. * The Baltimore and Ohio would get the western Maryland. It would bo strengthened by trickage rights in the Cleveland and Toledo districts and will have access to the New Cleveland terminal. It could shorten its New York-Chicago route. Between Toledo and Detroit it would have trackage rights over the Pere Marquett. It would get the Lehigh and Hudson, A New England gateway line. The Pennsylvania, gets both the Norfolk and Western and the Wabash. One of the most important conditions to the commission's approval is that the Pennsylvania divest itself of its holdings, direct and indirect, in both tjie New York New Haven and Hartford and the Boston and Maine. This condition is c victory for New England interests which fought proposals for inclusion of New England lines in the four-system merger. At present the Pennsylvania, through holdings of its own and of the Pennroad j corporation, has a great influence, I though not actual control, In the | operation of both of these New England lines. Another change concerns the Delaware and Hudson, which the four roads wanted to divide between them. The commission decided this should be left, for the time being at least, as an independent system. The commission also decided that the Seaboard Air Line be left out of the consolidations. The Chicago, Indianapolis and Louisville, called the Moncn, wis allocated to the Baltimore and Ohio under the original plan but the commission agreed with the present owners, the Southern and the Louisville and Nashville, that It remain I a north-south line and not be merged into any east-west systems. The ermmission also left the New York .Ontario and Western out of the mergers. It changed the plan in another instance to give the Nickel Plate trackage rights to Syracuse to provide competition with the Cential • Alone. Commissioners Eastman and Mc- ! mammy dessented to ths majority , rep.rt. Commissioner Eastman, writing the dissent expressed doubt that the railroads either would or could go ahead with the plan under the present economic conditions. No steps which inquire a substantial I outlay of cash can b? tiken at this , time, he said, for the railroad! I "have n present means of obtaini Ing funds in any large amounts - except from the government.’’ I ® • HOSPITAL NOTES 3 Albeit Cramer, New Haven, underwent a major operation thi| morning at the Adams County Memorial (Hospital.

By HARRISON CARROLL Copyright. Hix. King r«atur«i Syndicate. Ing. HOLLYWOOD. Cal., July 00.Gossip is buzzing here over the defiant gesture of Ann Dvorak, who has tossed away a chance to play

opposite Ronald Colman and is aboard a vessel headed for New York and then, report has it. for Europe. Accompany in g the young star is her husband, Leslie Fenton, who several years ago walked out on a promising film career to lead a vagabond life on the continent.

's -.7 Ann Dvorak

Miss Dvorak left Hollywood without notifying Warner Brothers studio, where she is under contract, or telling even her close friends. In a few weeks she was to nave reported to United Artists to play Ronald Colman's shop-girl sweetheart in “Cynara." Following that, still another studio had arranged to borrow her for an important picture. At Warners yesterday officials expressed doubt of her intent to go to Europe and were inclined to view the incident as an outburst of temperament. At United Artists a plainly annoyed Samuel Goldwyn was starting a search for an actress to take Ann's place in the Colman picture, which is due to start shooting on July 20. The background of the incident involves the perennial disagreement over salary. Some time ago. Ann, then an unknown, was put under contract by Howard Hughes at a moderate salary. Later on, Warners bought her contract and she be gan her sensational rise in popular ity. Like all young stars, she felt ’ she was not getting paid enough. I Only her complaint was twofold.; She not only wanted more from Warners, but she thought Hughes j should have split with her on the I money he got from the sale of her contract. The present state of affairs is the outgrowth of ali this. Now, Hollywood wonders, will she go through with.it? Like a page from “Once in a Lifetime’’ is the reception given Corey Ford in Hollywood. Arriving at R-K-0 earlier than w ag expected, the New York humorist was given a temporary office somewhat removed from the writers’ building. He had just established himself when a laborer came tn and began to remove the furniture. Thinking it was a gag. Ford watched him make a clean sweep of

everything except the desk and chair where the writer sat. Finally, when the laborer started to take down the pictures. Ford reached for the telephone. Came a few futile clicks and then the operator tuned in: “Sorry, but this phone has been disconnected." BOULEVARD TALK. Judith Vosselli, the screen vamp, is back in Hollywood to have another try at film work. That suit she filed against Lloyd John Escheiman, her socially prominent ex-hus-band. will not come up in the East ! until Fall. . . . They had to take Gloria Shea to the hospital for ' treatment when her, hand went through a window at a Malibu Beach house. ... The pretty wife of a Hollywood director is being much twitted over a remark she made while shopping for a wedding present for Jean Harlow and Paul Bern. The salesman showed her a number of things and finally brought out a silver telephone. “Uli, fine,” she said, “and tell me. is it an antique?” ... It was amusing, too. the jimmed up lecture that Edgar Allen Woolf gave over the trick radio at Jack Warner’s beach house. It was one of those radios where a person in another room can make a broadcast. Woolf was giving a comedy talk for the benefit of the crowd in the living room. But no sound came out. Then somebody noticed a large crowd gathered in front of the house. What happened was the radio was connected to the loudspeaker on the front porch. . . .

STRIFE SETTLED AT DUGGER MINE BY GOV. LESLIE CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE wives and children by their side, seemed happy the fight was over. Joking and laughing, they started back home. They accepted without question the decision to allow the trapped miners to emerge unharmed. The besieged band was still hesitant about leaving the coal shaft. They lingered, eating provisions brought them by Sheriff Wesley Williams, until convinced the pickets had dispersed. Not until told the National guard was ready to enter the area were they reassured as to their safety. For hours the conference was delayed as Sheriff Wesley Williams tried to persuade some of the besieged miners to leave their dark fortress under his protection. Finally Harry West and Nelson Haupt accepted his offer of ( safe conduct and made their way through the sullen barrier of unemployed pickets. The truce, accepted by the mine operators, pickets, workers and officials, provided the mine should not be worked again until final settlement of wage differences is made by union and non-union officials. Should no agreement be arranged conditions will revert to the present status. Announcement of the peace sent the pickets and their wives and lamilies wearily 'to their barren homes. The pickets were union miners, unemployed since expiration of a wage agreement March 31. Defying a court injunction prohibiting interference with mine operations, the union miners, hungry and in distress, swarmed to the Hoosier mine when word spread that non-union miners had descended the shaft. Revolvers on their hips, the men jokingly urged Sheriff Williams and his five deputies to arrest them. “You’H have to feed us then,” the men shouted, “we'd rather be in jail than starve.' Williams who regarded the situation as dangerous as a tinder-dry forest called on Gov. Leslie for assistance. Meanwhile the workers at the mine refused to show themsejtes. Armed with machine guns and rifles they were prepared to sell their lives dearly. West, one of the conferees, described the long vigil in the mine. “All we did was watch and wait,’’ the small grey-haired veteran of the coal mines said. "Sometimes when we saw the number of pickets milling around the outside grow to more than 1,000 we thought we were done for. < ' But we figured we could give all we had if they came in on us. We would have stood out to the end. All we had to eat was a few’ beans and some potatoes from a garden ' inside the mine fence. We drank drip water from the mine. We could have stood out there for a long time, but 1 hope it's over now." 1 Occasionally when the pickets approached close to the mine, the be--1 sieged defenders sent a burst of ' machine gun fire over their heads. None was injured, however. Though the coal field was quiet ' today, the situation was only a little less ominous than previously, authorities agreed. The union miners have lived on t scanty rations for many weeks. . Most of their homes are barren ■ hovels, sun-baked and weather • beaten. Unless a wage agreement is concluded they have little or no hope' of employment. Local officials believe no permanent peace will be possible until the wage difficulties are solved. Mine owners say their properties cannot be profitably worked without sharp reductions in pay. These reductions, the union miners claim, would not give them enough money for existance. o ter Miss Margaret Jane of Fort Wayne are visiting this week with Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Runyon.
