Vote, Mr.. Workingman,
Just as Your Own Best
Judgment Tells You

Word reaches The Times that wher
the workers in a large manufacturing
plant in Detroit lined up for their pay
Monday night, every one Of them was
handed circular stating that their en-
ployer intended to vote for Hughes and
telling why.
The effect Of this will be 70 make votes
for Wilson.
The man who brought US word OF the
manufacturers action told US he had in
tended voting for Hughes, but that ne
will vote now for the Democratic candi-
date.
But no matter about that part Of It, Il
Is regretful that thing like this should
be practiced in this election, in pro-
gressive day like this and in progress
sive city like Detroit whose growth is so
largely due to the happy relations be-
tween capital and labor and particularly
to respect on the part Of capital for the
rights, the political independence and the
Importance of labor.

He may have been sincere and il may
have been his idea TO convince his men

1t was used by certain class Of en-
ployers who entertained a view that the
men who were giving them their sweat
and who were wasting away for them
under almost intolerable working condi-
tions, belonged to them body and soul.
1t was their view that their workers
were to them as so many sheep, 10 follow
meekly to the polls behind some false
leader
But the American workingman began
of sudden to think, and his though,
brought about change
Thought convinced him that if the en-

BEATRICE FAIRFAX
STORIES ON SCREEN

That heart balm and motion picture
plots sometimes go hand in hand was
proved today at the Plaza Theater,
where the first Of The Times Beatrice
Fairfax stories was produced in nlm
form.
The story was the episode Of the
missing bank Waterman. Those who
read the story in The Times last Sun
day remember that Miss Fairfax re-
ceived a letter from a young girl who
asked what she should do in the matter
of her sweetheart, who was bank
Waterman. and who had passed her on
the street with another girl on his arm
and had not recognized her.
This letter came to Miss Fairfax as
a part OF her regular newspaper work.
At the same time a reporter associated
with her newspaper received an assign
ment to look UP a bank robbery.
Miss Fairfax and the reporter. whose
name was Jimmy Barton. went out to-
gether to look up the writer OF the
letter. feeling sure she knew something
about the bank robbery, or could give
them some clue to II.
Their adventures make the first story.
And this story was produced an film
today at the Plaza. The first scene
showed the newspaper, office, a real
newspaper office by the way, and one
OF the most famous Of newspaper edi-
tors, Arthur Brisbane. Mics Fairfax
was impersonated In the film by Grace
Darling and Jimmy Barton by Harry

DR.. Blake will consult Surgeon7Gen-

DR.. Blake announced that his order
