Politics In Eight.Iiour Law

Charles +. Hughes. addressing an
audience in the arsenal at Spring
field, Ill. last Friday, renewed his
attack on the administration for the
passage OF the Adamson Law in the
face OF the threatened railroad
strike.
THE Adamson Bill is force bill
says Mr. Hughes. 1t was legislation
without inquiry. without knowledge
The demand by the administration
for such legislation as the price OF
peace was humiliating spectacle.
II was not only serious misuse OF
official power but deplorable alb
dication OF moral authority"
Mr.. Hughes quoted the Adamson
Law. showing, he said. in plain
English" that the men affected are
not required to work fewer hours
but are to have ten hours pay for
eigh, hours work. with additional
pay for additional hours.
I'VE have words winch may seem
TO mean one thing and In fact mean
another" the candidate continued
THE phrase 's-hour day is appar-
city used to tickle the public ear in
order to establish something quite
different II II was proposed to give
an s-hour work day. why were not
work for longer hours and all con-
tracts for longer service prohibited
under penalty. save where emergen-
cies exist
1t is said for this bill that It will
have tendency 10 procure an s.
hour day. This IS extremely doubt
tul. but We are dealing with what
the bill actually enacts, not with in
conclusive suggestions OF tenden-
cies toward something else which is
not enacted.
This bill must be judged by
what it provides, not by what 1t does
not provide It is nothing more than
measure to fixe wages and as
a measure to fix wages and as
measure to fix wages 1, must be

gree Of unity and enthusiasm in our

This is the year of our opportunity,
and We will not fail. With the be-
trayal OF the rank and file Of the Pro-
gressive party b. it's leaders many
thousands Of thoughtful citizens are
turning toward the Socialist party.
Many thousands more. dismlycd by the
menacing growth in this Republic Of
that milltarism which has brought so
much disaster to the nations OF the
Old World, hail the Socialist party as
the party Of peace, OF progress and OF
international solidarity"

HOWE DENOUNCES
BENNET CHARGES
Accuses Representative of
Interest in Immigra-
ton Contract.

Frederic c. Howe, Commissioner OF
immigration, replied warmly yesterday
TO charges Of Socialism" and "failur'
TO enforce law" brought against him
by William S. Bennett, Representative
from the 23d New York District.
Mr.. Bennett had explained his intro
duction into the Sunday civil bill of a
"joker," aimed TO prevent the feeding
OF immigrants by the government as
an attempt to enforce existing law
and as a means of preventing the $50
cialistic" ideas Of Commissioner Howe.
"Such a statement would come with
better grace" replied the Commits
sioner, from a Congressman who had
not been for long time the attorney
for the private contractor who has en-
joyed the contract for the feeding OF
the immigrants at Ellis Island for SIX
years; and it would come with better
grace if it had come more openly, in
stead Of under a misleading statement.
when il is considered that this con-
tract may be worth 100000 year and
may net a total OF quarter OF a
million dollars to the concesslonalre.
it is easy to believe that the cry OF
socialism could be raised at an at
tempt to end it."
Mr.. Howe said that the attorneys of
the Department of Labor had decided
that the government was entitled to
take over the feeding of the immi-
grants. A private contract, he said,
could not be so guarded as to prevent
abuses, scandals and endless COM
plants and charges.

HALF-BREED AT LAST
GETS AN EVEN BREAK
He Becomes a Hero in New Film
Other Pictures.

The half-breed is rarely an attractive
figure in American fiction. Ihere are
countless good white men and many
GOOD Indians, but il has been generally
assumed that one descended from bott
of these races inherits only the bad
qualities. Bret Harte's story. The
Half-Breed," is an exception. Whlle
the remainder of the male characters
devote themselves 10 wine and woman,
Lo Dorman lives among the giant trees
and studies botany. And it's re-
freshing departure.
At the Rialto Theatre Douglas FAR
banks is TO be seen this week IN pct
irritation of the Harte story. The
role IL new one TO Fairbanks, but ne
discharges it nobly. In the woods he
IS thoroughly at home. certainly IA
much so as any 80 per cent Indian IN
the world-or make it 70. "The Half
Breed" tells a good story and IS ar
tistically produced at least, II keeps
one out in the great open, where
camera can't make a mistake. Some
forest fire effects near the end or the
picture are particularly excellent.
The Strand presents The Selfish
Woman" with Cleo Ridgely and Wal
lace Reid as the stars. II contains
some good Photographic effects and
evidently has been produced with care.
but il is d sad fact that the value Of
q rhinestone il not enhanced by
gold setting. "The Selfish Woman" IS
an example of the scenario writer at
his worst. Wallace Reid is acceptable
in the leading male role, but 1t is
somewhat difficult 20 understand the
vagina of Miss Ridgely
Donald Brian appears on the Broad

Kane can make any picture interesting
merely By standing in front of the
camera. Paying the Price" however.
stands squarely on its own feet as a

tional story. but is always entertaining.

WARNS AGAINST TAKING
ADVANTAGE OF EUROPE
DR.. Fitch Says Trade Grab
Would Hurt United States

Preaching in the Brick Church. Fifth
Avenue and Thirty-scventh Street. yes
terday morning, the Rev. Albert Parker
Fitch president Of Andover Theolog-
teal Seminary, Cambridge. Mass, said
that this country could no more afford
to take advantage in business way
OF the European conflict than the Allied
Powers could consistently throttle the
industries Of the Central Powers. The
result Of such practice, he said,
whether through protective traif. free
trade or any other medium. would un-
questonably result in greater harm
than good.
Mutual help and unity, even in in
dustrial programmes of the various
countries, were as essential from a
standpoint of results as from any re-
lgious motive. he declared.
America, DR.. Fitch said would be
guilty Of the worst type Of provincial
ism IL IL built up great commercial
trade at the expense of one of the
warning European countries.
