"The' Cinderella Man is back
again at the Belasco Theater. There
is possibility that many people
who would enjoy this play thorough
ly, did not get to see it last Christ
mas. Christmas week, besides being
busy time in both public and pri-
vate life, is settled upon by theatri-
cal enterprises as the time in which
to display their most, attractive
wares. Consequently, with all of the
other theaters in town playing the
best attractions they could muster,
one of them being "Sybil," with Don
aid Brain, Julia Sanderson and Caw-
thorn, it is reasonable to suppose
that some. people did not get around
to seeing everything.
If "The Cinderella Man" was
missed, here is another chance to see
it, with the same cast, including
Shelley Hull and Phoebe Foster. The
story of the play, which is indicated
in the title, appears elsewhere.
News of coming attractions is
good. For one-Laurette Taylor is
to open here in a new play, next
week at the National Theater en-
titled "The Harp of Life This is
one of series of three plays by her
husband to be launched by Klaw and
Erlanger this season.
They are direct result off $4,000
consecutive performances of "Peg
O My Heart" which Miss Taylor
has to her credit and which nearly
drove her crazy. The press agent
told this, and there is no reason why
he shouldn't be believed. 1t is high
ly probable-even possible. The

ENDORSES EIGHT-HOUR DAY.

San Francisco-Mr Kelleher, the SEN
ior member of the firm of Kelleher &
Brown, while discussing the eight-hour
workday recently, said:
I'VE have operated now for nearly
three years on the basis of an eight-hour
workday. We abolished the piece-work
system, together with a ceaseless daily
period of toll, and our operatives are
now paid weekly wages based on an
eight-hour workday. The results have
been very satisfactory. Old customers
and patrons are even better pleased than
they ever were before. Our mechanics
and foremen are showing quickening
and increasing accuracy, and all of our
workers are demonstrating greater pro-
ductivity, which alone can come from
that genuine interest and pleasant rela-
tionshp between employer and employe
that flows from mutually happy minds.
"We are so thoroughly satisfied with
the eight-hour workday and the unions
system of collective bargaining that rath-
er than go back to the dreary drudgery
of nine, ten, or more hours grinding
piecework we would quit the business"
The labor advocate. [volume] (Cincinnati, Ohio) 1912-1937, 1916-09-30

Bro Fred Hook, formerly business
agent of the Building Trades Council,
bought out the interest of his partner,
Pat McHIugh, in the -Wiedersehen
saloon at the corner of Twelfth and
Walnut streets, and will devote his time
to conducting that business.
Bro Hook is president and business
agent of the Sheet Metal Workers, who
refused to accept his resignation and in
sisted upon his remaining in office
Fred Hook personally is magnificent
fellow, full mans size and loyal to his
friends. In the position of business
agent of the Building Trades Council he
was ordered to do many thing that was
personally Objectionable, but he always
obeyed orders no matter whom it hurt.
He carries into his new business the
best wishes of thousands of friends,
both in and out of the labor movement.
Bro. Hook is renovating the entire
building and will have a grand opening
about the middle of October, when his
friends will have an opportunity of
showing their appreciation for past fa-
VOrS.

PUEBLO PLUMBERS WIN.

Pueblo, Colo.-The Plumbers Union
of this city has reached settlement with
the boss plumbers after battle of three
weeks over an increase in wages. The
men demanded an increase of ST. day,
increasing the scale from SIS to $6, to
conform to wages in Denver An agree
ment was reached whereby an increase of
so cents per day becomes effective at
once and on January 1, 1917, another in
crease of so cents is to be granted, max
ing the regular scale Sc per day of eight
hours. This is quite victory for the
union and is in line with movement
of all the building trades to standardize
wages in their respective crafts through
out the State.

HOW IT'S VALUE INCREASES.

New York -Alladin, with his wonder
full lamp was piker at creating wealth
compared with the United States Steel
corporation. In the sixteen years since
its incorporation, the big steel combine
has created $685., 5,OOO,O 900 out of nothing
more than the power exercised by a
virtual monopoly.
When the corporation was formed it
was established by Wall street statis-
ticians that total assets were $732, ,612 900
On that reckoning, not only was all of
the $50S, S,202,0 600 of common stock water
but $142, ,4O5,O of the preferred as WELL
All of this fictitious wealth has been
transformed into real cash, in which
users of iron and steel will be forced
to pay tribute forever.
Wall street responded to Maine cleo
ton returns by sending this stock to a
new high record of 1O5B. Four years
after the company began business its
common stock sold at SB.
In 1904 when steel was at its lowest
point the total common stock, par value,
$5OS, ,3O2, 900, was appraised by the stock
market as being worth just $42.544 900
AT the price today this same issue was
rated at over $550,000000.

CROWD CHEERS WILSON
WHILE HUGHES TALKS

Toledo, O.-Twelve thousand work.
men at the WillysO Overland auto plant
gave Republican Candidate Hughes a
stormy reception when he visited the
big factory at noon today.
AS Hughes car wheeled toward the
plant the workmen barely acknowledged
the lifting of Hughes hat, and there
were calls and cheers for Wilson
There was not sound of applause for
the Hughes party When Hughes had
completed his 1s-minute talk he depart
ed amid choruses of cheers for Wilson.
Very soon after the candidate had
been introduced Interruptions came.
Would you join the union if you
were an Overland employer" was the
most direct question, but one frequently
repeated was: "Tell us about the Dan
bury hatters ?"
The first part of Hughes talk was
greeted with fair attention, although
probably not more than 5000 of the en-
ployes remained to hear after they had
seen the candidate. They passed on to
their lunch.

is HIS VIEW CORRECT?

Columbus, Ohio.-The Ohio State
Journal puts it in the following Ian
guage:
"A manager of big public utility said
to us the other day that he never al
lowed personal damage claim to get
into court. He always managed to make
settlement some way, for there was no
justice in courthouse, when it came
to question of fact between a citizen
and a corporation. 1t is seldom cor
poration is able to save its face, unless
it interjects point of law and takes it
away from the popular prejudice. But
isn't it sad comment upon our judicial
system that public utility is afraid to
trust the people to the extent of submit
ing its claims to jury?"

PLASTERERS WIN.

New York.-About seven hundred
plasterers who have been on strike in
this city since the first of the month, re-
turned to work on their own terms. The
boss plasterers have adopted the new
scale of the union. The men on strike
were only part of the total union strength
of $500 men not affected, their employ
ers having accepted the new arrange
ment, which called for scale Of labor
affecting the amount of work man
should perform day and the introduc
ton of shop stewards to see that this
amount of work was performed
A considerable number of men not on
strike have three years agreement with
the boss plasterers affiliated with the
Building Trades Association of New
York. The men who struck were em-
ployed by boss plasterers not affiliated
with the Building Trades association and
who were known as independents"

THE CIGAR MAKERS WIN
Samuel Meyers Convicted For Using
the Union Label Without
Authority.

Samuel Meyers, who has been making
cigars and putting the union label on
the boxes without authority was con-
victed last week in police court and fined
two hundred dollars and costs, which
establishes the fact that the use of the
label is only possible with the consent
of the Cigar Makers Union, and will
put an end to a lot of pirates that use
the label every chance they get, but make
the cigars with scab labor
The Cigar Makers Union was repre-
sented by Judge Arthur Fricke, who
made an excellent fight and won.
