AIDE PROTEST

Kansas City, Mo.-"Mr. Kings
charge that | distorted his testimony
before the commission on industrial
relations would appear to sii1msr
down to question whether he was
Boosting or confessing," said Frank
Walsh, chairman of the commission
in answer to w. L. Mack enzie Kings
protest that the following statement
made by him in Washington was Civ
en- a sinister meaning.
Mr. knight you are speaking of
the immediate force and immediate
influence. think that the conscience
of young Mr.. John d. Rockefeller. ir.
is more powerful on that and will ef-
feet social justice in Colorado quick
er than any other single force that
you would bring to bear"
The above statement has been Civ
en- wide publicity, and the Rookie
teller aide now realizes he lacked
caution in desire to impress upon
the commission Mr.. Rockefeller's
power. To weaken the attack of
labor papers and other publications.
Mr.. King now declares that wrong
interpretations are placed on his
statements.

MASTERPIECE THE ABSEN
TEE" SCREEN TRIUMPH

Robert Edeson, the celebrated star
of the legitimate stage; Olga Gray,
Wahneta Hanson, Mildred Harris, A..
D. Sears, Alfred Paget, George
>Beranger, Augustus Carney, Charles
Lee and Otto Lincoln are all includ-
ed in the remarkable cast interpret
ing the tremendous allegorical drama,
FIVE parts as a Mutual Masterpiece.
The production of THE Absentee"
was made under the direction of w.
Christy Cabanne, who, with F. E.
Woods, author of Mans Preroga-
tive" is the joint author of the story,
perhaps, in a theatrical sense, the
most powerful presentation of funda-
mental truth given the world since
"Everywoman," clergy and critics
at least so far have agreed that it is.
The play opens with a scenically
lovely depletion of the Valley of
Hope, where man is seen wandering
in the guise of Ambition. Two roads
widen before him. One leads to Sue
cess, the other to Failure. Here Plea
sure and Ignorance struggle with him.
When he realizes the truth of life

ILLNESS A TAX ON WORKERS

Washington-The necessity for
higher wages and for immediate leg
islation that will prevent occupational
diseases is shown in a report to the
federal commission industrial rela-
tions which was prepared jointly by
representatives of the commission and
the federal public health service.
The report states that the average
wage Garner in the United States
loses approximately nine days every
year on account of sickness, much of
which is preventable. Illness has been
found to be one of the principal causes
OF unemployment, and a principal
factor in recruiting, the army of des-
titute and dependent persons.
Ill health, it is stated, levies an an
nual toll of $750000,000 upon wage
workers because of lost wages and ex-
pense of sickness.
The greater part of this gigantic
tax fall upon those workers who are
least able to afford it, since sick
ness has been found to be much more
prevalent among low-paid workers
than among those whose incomes are
sufficient to provide sanitary housing.
adequate food and pleasant surround
ings in the home and in the place of
work
The estimate of an annual loss of
%5O,OOOOOO is conservative, it is de-
clared. 1t is based on a careful ex-
animation of the sick records of near
W 100000 workers in this country
and IS found to correspond very close
~ to the figures afforded by the sick
records OF long period of years of
about 2oOOO,0O0 workers in Germany
and Great Britain. 1t includes merely
the loss of wages during illness and
the expenses of medical attention and
does not take into consideration the
impairment of the workers efficiency
and vigor or the cost of illness of
members of his family.

GOOD COMPENSATION ACT

Halifax, Nova Scotia-John Joy,
vice president of the Canadian Trades
and Labor Congress, declares the
Nova Scotia compensation act, pas
sed last month, is the best legislation
OF its kind in the Dominion. He saws;
The act provides for the injured
workman during his disability, even
If it lasts his lifetime. Under this law
litigation is pushed to one side and
the amount payable are determined
by board of three members. Com
pensation is payable in periodical
sums, thus providing for continual
maintenance of the injured workman
or his dependents.
The act further provides that no
agreement between employer and the
workman to forego the benefits of the
act is valid: no part of amount paw
able to the accident fund by the mem
bers is to be charged up to the work
man, and no compensation can be
attached, charged or assigned with
out the approval of the board"
All workers are included in the new
law except casual workers, members
OF police and fire departments and
those engaged in clerical and office
work.

happiness returns to him. At this
point the prologue fades into the story
proper.
Power, the absentee, leaves Might
in charge of his factory. Might low
ers the wages of the operatives with
out Powers knowledge and pockets
the difference. A strike results. On
his wife, Extravaganza, and his
daughter, Vanity, Might squanders his
i'll gotten gain while the employees
of the mill are left to starve. Under
the terrible stress of these unfortu-
nate conditions two young girls,
Happiness and Innocence, go wrong,
and Contentment, crazed by the death
of his daughter turns to Evil. Might
meanwhile, with factory funds, gives
elaborate entertainments and writes
Power, who is lolling in fashinnable
club in the city, that he is handling
the strike in the proper manner. JUS
tice, the office stenographer, becomes
blind as she sits down to write Power
the truth about conditions, so she
goes to him in person. He informs
her that Might is right. She pleads
with him, tells of the sin and suffer-
ing, the horror and oppression, but
he steels his heart against her. AS
she leaves she drops a worn, soiled
glove on his desk.
When Justice has gone Power picks
up her glove, and the wear and tear,
so visibly impressed upon it, affect
him strangely. He resolves to inves-
tigate.
Mbao pou,ar arr;,,as he 6rd. AE;4~I,.
has called out the militia. The strik-
ers are wild with the hopelessness
of their cause and are bent on blood
shed. They are needless of Ambi-
tons warning to stay quiet. Mean
while Power has recalled the militia
and faces the strikers unguarded Just
as Justice points him out as the cause
of all the trouble. After one of those
thrilling fights Mr.. Cabanne stages in
so realistic fashion, Power is rescu-
ed by the police and taken to the
home of Justice.
Meanwhile Might has been arrested
at Powers command and dealt with
according to his deserts. Conditions
are remedied. Ambition takes Evils
place as the leader of the strikers
and Evil, who before the death of his
daughter, Happiness, was justly nam
ed Contentment, crazed by his sor-
rows, attempts to shoot down Pow
err. Justice steps between and is
wounded, while Contentment dies oil
heart failure.
While she is i'll Justice is visited by
Power, who in the end asks her tc
marry him. AS thew walk down the
steps of the hospital they are met
by smiling trio-Ambition, Oppor.

AT THE THEATRES

The better class workman and their
wives and children are showing. an
extraordinary amount Of interest in
the FIVE part Master picture The
Absentee" which is being shown at
the Majestic Thursday, Friday and
Saturday. Throughout the country
meetings are being held to discuss it
and the working class are being urged
by their leaders to go to the theatres,
where it is being shown, in a body.
One famous labor leader described il
as the calmest and most artistic pre-
sentation of the workers case, and
also the simplest because told in pic
lures, yet brought to the attention of
the public. On the other hand it is
attracting attention in church and So
ciety circles. "Mr. Woods and Mr..
Cabanne," said clergyman recently at
an evening service, have told story
in this allegorical picture that has
the force of a Biblical injunction .
Early that morning his Sunday classes
had voted to attend a matinee as a
unity.
A great deal of money was spent
to get a realistic presentation of
conditions among. the workers during
a strike and terrific fist fight in which
Robert Edeson as Power stands off
a mob of strikers with his back to the
wall forms one of the many thrilling
scenes.
Realism gone Riot. By jove it
was wonderful" a noted critic eX-
claimed after seeing the picture.
Every working man and woman and
every employer should by all means
see this picture for it has message
for you both.
