UNIVERSAL NEWSPAPER NEWSREEL VOLUME IV NUMBER 34
TROOPS DESPATCHED TO QUELL DISORDERS AT MINE STRIKE ZONE
(125)
CADIZ, Ohio -- Unrest among workers in the soft coal-fields of the Hocking Valley and Sunday Creek sections is aggravated by threats of operators to put non-union labor on the job. Massed movements against the mines are organized by the dissatisfied hands, and National Guard units are rushed into the walk-out area to maintain order and uphold the law. TNT charges, planted in trees, reap a toll of casualties. Armed soldiers take up strategic positions to restrain the maneuvers of the men. The supreme sacrifice is made by several as the grievance over pay warms into a tragic commercial war.
ACCLAIM MELLON AS NEW AMBASSADOR TO COURT OF ST. JAMES
(87)
LONDON, England -- Silent as the Sphinx, refusing all comment, the ex-Secretary of the Treasury reaches Waterloo Station to take up his duties as Uncle Sam's emissary to John Bull. Hale and hearty, the 77-year-old diplomat graciously accepts the plaudits of the huge crowd that extends him a warm greeting. A guard of honor led by Sir Patrick Duff, representing Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald, escorts the successor to "Hell and Maria" Dawes through the streets to the American embassy, where he will make his home and bone over such world problems as disarmament and foreign debts in an effort to cement the bond of friendship between the two great English-speaking powers.
ANIMALS "SIGN" PLEA TO AUTOMOBILISTS IN "DRIVE-SAFELY" DRIVE
(91)
NEW YORK, N. Y. -- Nature-student Boy Scouts make a trip to Bronx Zoo and "secure names" for one of the most humane petitions Mayor James J. Walker has received during his term of office. The youngsters, hoping for a greater degree of freedom for smaller animals, visit retreats of the raccoons, 'possums, woodchucks, squirrels, song-birds, turtles, and toads where they annex the "John Hancocks" to an impressive scroll that later is presented to the city's chief executive. Interceding for the helpless mites, the boys ask the Mayor to issue a proclamation exhorting motorists to be more careful of little beasts on the road.

RAILROAD INNOVATION MEETS PROBLEM OF TRUCK COMPETITION
(100)
CHICAGO, Ill. -- Seeking to meet motor transport rivalry, the North Shore Line inaugurates a novel and unique system for freight movement that insures rapid delivery without delays or hazards. Motor vans and trailers, carrying minimum loads of 15,000 pounds, are driven on to flat-cars and shipped, by rail, to points as far distant as Racine, Wis., as an introductory service. Merchants and manufacturers get the benefits of the method which provides a means for automobile delivery right to the consignee's door, without risking traffic tangles, or engine trouble on long hauls. A new day for railways looms with the acceptance of the new system that may herald dividends for worried stockholders.
GERMAN SPEED KING BEATS NATION'S BEST TO WIN RACE CLASSIC
(131)
BOSTON, Mass. -- Setting a terrific pace for the 26-mile course, and just missing the record by half-a-minute, Paul De Bruyn, German-American star, romps home to a sterling victory in the 36th running of the Patriots' Day marathon. With machine-like strides the Teuton toe ace wears out a field of 220 of the country's best distance-runners. Trudging shoulder to shoulder over the last six miles with Jimmy Henigan, last-year's winner, De Bruyn lets go with a powerful spurt that wilts the 40-year-old titleholder in sight of the finish line. Strong and capable at the end of the long grind, the winner is clocked in the marvelous time of 2:33:2.5. His victory earns him a place on Germany's team at the Olympic Games this Summer.
DRY LAW REPEALED! GOVERNMENT TO SELL LIQUOR FOR REVENUE
(125)
HELSINGFORS, Finland -- Happy -- hic -- days are -- hic -- here again. Thirsty thousands pour into the restaurants, cafes and night clubs of the nation as the 12-year-old Prohibition Law is scrapped and the sale of strong beverages is put into the hands of the country's rulers. A last minute threat of an embargo by inn-keepers to combat price inflation is adjusted and fresh stocks of imported spirits are offered to the public. The bootleggers, kings of the rum trade since 1919, dry up and take their place in the republic's history -- already just a memory.

UNIVERSAL NEWSPAPER NEWSREEL VOLUME IV NUMBER 70
EMPIRE PARLEY ENDS IN TRADE AGREEMENT WITH GREAT BRITAIN
OTTAWA, Ont., Canada -- Impressive scenes mark the closing of the British Trade Conference in the great Chamber of the Dominion Parliament Building. The signing of reciprocal pacts between England and her far-flung commonwealths is held to be the most significant step in recent commercial history. Tariff and quota preferences decided upon during the month's powwow of representatives from Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, India and other United Kingdom possessions, may be sorely felt by the United States and other nations. A high-light in the year's events!

TAYLORSVILLE, Ill. -- Assembling in automobiles from all parts of the State, 25,000 striking miners invest this town and prevent the operation of the Peabody mines.
BENTON, Ill. -- Moving into the Southern Illinois mine fields in a column five miles long, the strikers are routed at the Franklin County line by a small force of armed citizens who wreck many cars and cause the invaders to scatter over three counties. A startling development of mass tactics by the strikers and a surprise defense by the embattled residents. The victors await the next move of the vanquished, who strive to reassemble their hosts at nearby rallying points. A tense situation, loaded with dynamite.
FLYING FAMILY LEAVE ON ROUND-WORLD HOP IN AERIAL BUNGALOW
BROOKLYN, N. Y. -- The world's first sky-high house-party takes off on the first leg of its trans-oceanic flight, with Colonel George Hutchinson, the pilot, his wife and two children, Kathryn, 8, and Janet Lee, 6, in their big 10-passenger Sikorsky amphibian cabin plane. This unique trip, planned as a leisurely journey via St. John, Labrador, Greenland, Iceland, and the British Isles, is hailed as epochal in the history of continent-to-continent air transport, being the first Atlantic air voyage featuring children as passengers.

WAR FLIER ACHIEVES DAREDEVIL TAKE-OFF FROM SPEEDING AUTO
LOS ANGELES, Cal. -- Captain Oliver "Boots" Le Boutillier, Royal Flying Corps star, and member of the gallant squadron that downed the famous Richthofen, thrills spectators at Mines Field, the municipal airport, and hangs up a new record in death-defying aeronautics, by taxiing to a hop-off on top of a sedan. As the car approaches forty-miles-an-hour, the bird-man speeds his motor and lifts his small monoplane clear, but only by a hair's breadth. Plane and machine almost crash as the aviator struggles to get lifting headway. A breath-taker, if there ever was one.
NATIONALIST ARMIES RALLY ON EVE OF NEW CRISIS IN MANCHURIA
HANKOW, China -- The famous 19th Route Amy, China's pride in the battle of Shanghai, is again filling its ranks and loading its ammunition pouches for another major action. With the Chinese Red Army becoming increasingly menacing on one side and the Japanese Expeditionary Force on the other making threatening moves towards Jehol Province, China's last stand in Manchuria, General Tsai Ting Kai, youthful commander of the valiant forces, stirs his men to greater deeds of heroism for the Republic of China. Striking views of China's crack troops in all their pre-battle elan.

EXTRA! SPECIAL! SCORES PERISH AS BLAZE GUTS LEADING MID-WEST HOTEL
(Pre-Released: New York, Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, Buffalo, San Francisco and Los Angeles)
LANSING MICH.--State legislators and many prominent citizens are burned to death or drowned in the icy waters of a river while they struggle to escape flames raging through the Hotel Kerns in one of the worst disasters the Middle West has experienced in several years. Falling walls and bitter cold hamper the efforts of firemen, caught between the inferno in the building and the inclement weather. Automobiles parked in the street are crushed under tons of masonry. Many victims remain unidentified after the hotel register is destroyed. Horror-stricken spectators stand by, powerless to aid, watching in grim silence as trapped men and women leap to their deaths on the pavement and in the adjacent river.
