MOVING PICTURES

ing picture machine as the first aid
to equal suffrage, and the battlers
for social and industrial Justice, was
proposed today in the first quarterly
report OF the national progressive SER
vice, the militant, crusading oreaniza-
ton of the national progressive party.
The report was read at the meeting
of the national progressive party here
today.
Films are to be secured through the
established moving picture agencies
and used to illustrate the need for
mothers compensation laws, human
and material conservation and popu-
lar government
That the progressive party must not
! be judged on the basis of recent cleo
ton returns is asserted In the report
| The progressive national service rep
resents the future political organiza-
/ ton of this country" it declares in
asserting that higher ideals In bust
ness and in politics are more impor-
tant to the American people than the
enactment of new laws, declares the
report.

rest and needs of a people to which

ministration is worth more to the
cause of justice than a perfect law In
the hands of boss-ruled administra-
| ton" the report declares.
/ The organization of the progressive
/ national service is divided into five
bureaus, administration, chairmen,
education and legislative reference.
State societies are organized in Mass
4 achusetts, Illinois and Connecticut.
In New York, Maryland Minnesota
and New Jersey progressive service
organizations are being organized and
in Indiana, Delaware Arkansas, South
Dakota. South Carolina, Virginia,
Kentucky and Wisconsin the organi-
cation of state service associations is
under advisement.
The report emphasizes the princi-
pies Of social and industrial Justice,
conservation, popular government,
corporation control and equal suff-
rage that were made permanent in
the last progressive national plat
form. 1t recommends that In the
future every progressive party candi-
date be pledged to support measures
looking towards equal suffrage.
