Two ' thirds of the scheduled tour was i left incomplete. Last minute conferences between Ralph Whitehead, secretary of the ; American federation of actors, and ! John Ringling North, youthful gen-1 eral manager, resulted in final in--1 structions from Whitehead to the I workmen to "tear it down boys, we are heading for home.” Driving rain and thick mud hamp- ! ered the canvasmen and rousta- | bouts who strudk the tents, padked I thousands of seats — used but once I during the Scranton engagement — | and locked the animals in their ' traveling cages. The strike was called shortly before the performance Wednesday ' I night. Subsequent action included a customers’ riot at the ticket windows. an ultimatum to get out ■•forthwith” from Mayor Fred J.

The tat lady, the living skeleton, tne tattooed man. the comely snake charmer and the check-suited barkers were left with their last pay checks, tickets home but no jobs. Frank (Bring ’em back alive) Buck, concessionaires and the "heads of the acts” who advocated acceptance of the wage ent were left with their animals and an unestimated supply of uncooked pop--orn and pink lemonade. Mrs. Charles Ringling, widow of one of the founders ot Ringling Brothers circus, had stressed the disappointment to be suffered by thousands ot potential customers in communities remaining on the schedule, but her pleas were in vain. North said a “new type" of agreement would have to bo worked o"’ before the show- would re-hire its employes and resume the remaining two-thirds of the tour. He denied that the circus would be permanently dismantled. The circus was expected to arrive in Sarasota within three days Stops to permit the chemicallytreated tents to dry to prevent spontaneous combustion, were expected to slow the journey. — o— —♦ Adams County Memorial Hospital — —— ■ —— ♦ Dismissed: Mrs. Paul York and baby, Marjorie Ellen, of route three.
