BIRTH CONTROL IS
LYCEUM PICTURE

The attraction at the Lyceum thea
ter for the week beginning Sunday.
Nov. 10, is 1.-THE Unborn" five-reel
picture, with Gertrude Bondhill fea-
tured. The scenes of this play are
laid in small western city and in
the mountain district of Colorado.
The story is Of man who gives
up the girl who had faith in him for
another who could give i'm social and
financial position. Te first could have
offered him a happy home with chill
dren, the second gave him only a
chlldless home. This latter condition
turnises the basis of this moving pic
ture play. It is a story full of human
interest. It's production is evidently
inspired by anti-birth control propa-
gandists.

SCABS IN CANADA .. : ::
ARE DEP0RTED

NIAGARA FALLS, Ont, Nav. 16.-
Since the latter part of June the car
penters on the construction of new
roundhouse for the M. c.. r. at Mont
rose, near here, by the Walbridge-
Aldinger company of Detroit, have
been on strike. ::
After unsuccessfully trying to fill
their places locally the firm imported
carpenters and also laborers from De-
troit. i!
This action was brought to the at
tention of the emigration department
at Ottawa by the Carpenters: union,
and after full inquiry the men were
returned to Detroit by instructions Of
the department. s..
It is probable that action under THE
alien labor act will be taken by the
Carpenters union at Niagara Falls
against this firm.
