MOVIE ACTORS.
Convention Attendants to Appear
in Silent Drama During
August.

LOS ANGELES, May 21.-secre-
tary-Treasurer John w. Hays of the
International Typographical Union,
visited Los Angeles, Cal, recently for
the purpose of perfecting arrange
ments for the printers annual con-
vention, which meets in that city the
week Of August 3 to IA.
The moving picture industry has
assumed such mammoth proportions
in Los Angeles that visit to the
Southland is not considered complete
unless a trip is made to one of the
many studios operating in that vicin-
ity. There is scarcely g. day in the
year that one or more movie compan-
les cannot be seen operating on the
streets in the downtown shopping
district. Thousands Of people are en-
gagged in producing moving pictures in
Los Angeles; in fact, it is claimed that
80 per cent Of all the moving pictures
Of the world are made in that vicinity,
and that the combined pay-rolls ag-
gregate over million dollars a
month.
During Secretary Hays visit he was
given an opportunity to inspect one
Of these large establishments. At the
time over 1900 people were divided
into 10 different companies and all
operating at the same time. The
general manager of the concern SUBJ
mitted a tentative proposition to Mr..
Hays, which included an invitation to
the convention to visit the plant in a
body and take part in the production
of feature drama that would be
enacted at the time the convention
was in session in Los Angeles. Mr..
Hays referred the matter to the Los
Angeles local convention committee.
and the details will be worked out and
announced later.
Mr.. Hayes selected the Auditor
ium Beautiful" of the Los Angeles
Labor Temples as the place for hold.
ing the 1915 convention. Speaking
of the Labor Temple, Secretary Hays
expressed the greatest admiration for
the fine building and was ,unstinted in
his praise Of the wonderful faith and
courage that ctuated those who car
ried it to completion. The securing
Of such a splendid property In the
heart of. the city was, he thought, an
accomplishment to be proud Of.
1.-THE moral influence of an insti-
tuition Of this kind, both upon the
community and upon organized labor,
cannot be over-estimated," said Sec
rotary Hays.

TRADES ASSEMBLY
LISTENS TO JONES
Delegates Called for State FEEDER
alton Convention-Cake and
Coffee Served At Meeting.

Senator Richard Jones addressed
the delegates to the Federated Trades
assembly at the regular meeting last
Friday night. There was large at
tendance and considerable business Of
Importance was transacted.
The call was read FORTH annual
convention of the State Federation Of
Labor in July, which will be held at
W1nona, and action was deferred I'M
til the next meeting when it is ex-
pected five delegates will be chosen
to represent the assembly at the big
state meeting.
Senator Jones reviewed the work Of
the recent legislature, dwelling par
ticularly on the measures in which
union labor is Interested. He ex-
planned the object of his bill to re-
classify property for the purpose of
taxation, stating that sooner or later
Minnesota must recognize the George
theory Of taxation; that to tax per-
sonal property was not only useless
but a tax upon industry, and there
fore unsound.
Land and labor are the two prin-
cipal elements in production said
Senator Jones. Labor applied to
land creates wealth, and when the
land becomes monopolized labors op-
portunity to create wealth is thereby
| restricted. The land must be free If
labor Is to have this opportunity This
! is the only real solution to our grow
ing problems Of unemployment and
poverty"
Senator Jones told the delegates of
the coordination Of interests which
defeated the women's suffrage amend
ment. Public service corporations,
and the special privileged interests
generally lined up against the meas
ure, and were successful in postpon-
ing action upon it for another two
years.
After the address banquet was
served. consisting Of cake, sandwiches,
ice cream and coffee.
Wednesday evening Senator Jones
spoke before the T. L. A. and Thurs
day evening he addressed the Brew
cry Workers Union.

RAILROAD MEN -:

CHICAGO, May 21.-Congressional
investigation of the appointment Of
Charles Nagel as a member of the
recent railroad arbitration board, is
demanded in a. resolution adopted at
a conference Of railroad engineers

The resolution, which follows, also
asks that the award be Investigated:

tration and carefully reading all re-
cords in connection Herewith, it is
the unanimous desire Of the chairmen
representing all engineers, firemen,

And we submit that Charles Nagel
was not a neutral inasmuch as 1T was
clearly established that Nagel,, ap-s
pointed by the federal board Of medi-
alton and Cancellation as a neutral

OHIO SUPREME COURT
FOLLOWS u. S. COURT

COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 21.-The
state supreme court has followed the
decision of the United States supreme
court In setting aside the Kansas law
which made it illegal to discharge
worker because Of membership in a
union. The Ohio court affirmed the
judgment Of the Hamilton county
(CincinnatO court of appeals in the
suit of a member Of a union dual to
the bona fide Boot and Shoe Workers
union, who asked redress because he
was discharged. Both Ohio courts
hold with the United States supreme
court that worker can quit for no
reason or any reason, and the en-
ployer' has the right to discharge.
Trade unionists in this state saw
that even were the law upheld. anti
union employers would find ways to
evade it, and these workers point to
the fact that hostile employers do not
usually make it a practice to give
membership in a union as the reason
for dismissal.
TIE decision is used as an argument
for the necessity of strong organiza-
ton among the workers to protect
them from being victimized.
The Ohio statute was passed in
1892. The Ohio supreme court was
divided on the question.

that while he knows that all these 9th
