clination to ascertain the possibility
Of reciprocity arrangements with
Canada, and
Whereas the paper makers are unit
ed and organized to protect their in
terests, and whereas the information
in the interest of paper makers which
is being disseminated to justify the
maintenance and increase of prices
puts only one side of the question, and
Whereas through the vigilance of
this association the pools controlling
the output of fibre and manila paper
boards is now under close judicial
scrutiny and it appears that other pa
per pools are likely to be subjected to
the same scrutiny and,

carried on by volunteers, and
Whereas, the situation with respect

ADJUSTMENTS.

A merry skit is Just Out of College"
"a modern light comedy with music" (the
program says. by George AIDE, presented
for the first time in this city at the Salt
Lake theatre last evening. The audience
had happy time. and the piece can be
recommended as an excellent neutralizer
of the indigo color. Nevertheless, Just
out of College" will not stand the same
critical analysis as AIDES County Chair
man" or College Widow Both these
other pieces have coherent plots, spar
king lines and clear cut characters. The
newer play lacks cOherency, is short on
really Interesting characters. and has not
such clever dialogue as the others. The
statuesque, deliberate and dilletante
queen" of a stenographer is the best
character creation in the piece, and she
has little to say or do. The rest of the
characters are not much out of the or
binary.
In these respects it must be stated that
II Is perhaps unfair to compare Just Out
of College" altogether with the other two
plays Of AIDES which were mentioned, as
they are so far ahead of the average.
The one which appeared last evening is
above the general run, but it does not
reach the standard of the others.
In the effort TO be modern" and live
up to the announcement In the program,
Mr.. AIDE has yielded to the fad which
girls into everything. The syndicate play
roundr1eS now are carrying this practice
SO far that they are dramatizing sections
or the Bible and introducing sensual
dances, as in the case of ''Salome." Mr..
AIDE has not gone so far, but instead of
depending on plot, misunderstanding and
wit alone for his success, he has followed
conventional lines of modern" musical
farce, and introduced a few pickle girls
with green, atrophied skirts. who contin-
ually lift the aforesaid skirts. as they
vociferously vocalize, in order to display
rows and rows of fluffy white lingerie
above the well-limned lines OF their lower
limbs.
But let US not be suspected of carping

time, even if the play could be picked

no n%on-union men will be hired by the
bosses. The prices to be paid will be
twenty-five per cent. per load when
one helper Is called and twenty per
cent. when two are asked to assist.
The strike started when the bosses,
according to the workmen, discharged
several Of them and hired green
horns" and "hoboes' to do the work.
The helpers claimed that in the sum-
mer time the bosses run after them
to work for them but In the winter
when they were most in need of en-
ployment they are ignored.
While the strike was on the bosses
Joined the union themselves and their
trucks bore union signs and for a time
things looked bad for the employees,
but a few days ago the truck owners
met and signed an agreement which
brought the strike to an end.
In the future the men will YEA
union buttons and the trucks will
probably bear the union label also.
The leaders of the strike were Is
