THE PATH OF PERIL.
fraught With Dangers to Fleeing
Multitudes. Shown in "The End
of the World"

For size, for importance, for biz
smashes, spectacular scenes, The
End of the World" is one OF the
greatest pictures ever produced.
This wonderful theme is closely in
terWoven with double story run
ming through six reels and the atten-
ton is captured and the imagination
stirred as the scenes unfold in rapid
succession OF swift, clear action. This
cut of the ordinary picture will be
shown here at the Star Theatre for
one day, Tuesday, Oct. 8. Matinee
$3.50 and night.
1t so far excels the average sub
Ject in motion pictures that there
are but few points of comparison.
You cannot shut your eyes to the
fact, whether you will admit if or
not, that there is strong belief in the
minds OF many people-amountin 2
almost to conviction that some
day, some time, will come "The End
of the World" Just how or when Il
will happen is matter of specula-
ton, but frail humanity in mortal
dread of such calamity that we are
perfectly willing to listen to the
speculation of astronomers and see
them depicted On the motion picture
screen. Our curiosity is not great
enough to make us long to see the
real thing. The end of all as SHOWN
in this wonderful set OF pictures
marks the climax where destruction
is on every hand and the helpless
multitudes in mad race for safety
lind path of peril on every side so
that there seems no escape from
the warning elements. The action is
swift, the climax is realistic and ir-
resistible. Everyone should see these
wonderful pictures. Regular 10 and
l5c prices.

present when Trask was brought in
David was thoroughbred enough to
rule his own expressions and to pre-
tend ignorance Of Trask's existence,
But Gloria felt sure that if she could
bring the two men suddenly face to
face ono or the other would betray a
guilty knowledge.
So she said to David: Come with
me. I've got surprise for you"
David followed her up to the guest
room where Trask had been installed,
She led him to the door, knocked,
opened the door, and babe David en-
ter. A screen stood before the bed
and she drew it aside quickly, keeping
her eyes on David. She saw surprise
in his face. but not of the sort she ex-
pected. His surprise was blank won-
der. She turned to see how Trask
took the conformation. Trask was
not there. The bed was empty
Gloria ran to find the nurse. She
met her just coming in from motor
ride. She had taken her two hours OF
liberty, she said, leaving Nell to care
for her father. She was stunned BY
the news of Trask's departure: lie
was too weak to rise and walk. 1t
seemed impossible that he could have
been carried out without attracting
the attention OF dozen servants.
Gloria felt bewitched. She ran to
seek Doctor Royce. David ran after,
asking: Whats it all about? What's
the little surprise you had Tor mel
Ii seems to have caught you first.
Don't bother me" was all Gloria
would say.
David seemed so amused by her
dismay that she began to suspect him
OF kidnapping his confederate. But
she dared not accuse him lest, il he
we're innocent, she would reveal to
him more OF Lois guilt than she telt
it her right to diyulge.
She stood off David and hurried
on to find Doctor Royce. She met
Judge Freeman on the lawn, and told
him what had happened. He ex,
pressed surprise, but when she had
left him she began to feel dissatis-
fled with the sincerity of his amaze

Judge Freeman abhorred his own
deed, aud regretted that he could not
punish himself publicly as severely
as he would have punished another
Judge who violated his honor so.
But he had been a father before he

Meanwhile he smiled, though dis

the escape of her captive, but he felt
no more remorse than one feels who

Organized Labor in America

into distrust OF its own members,
and the early '90s saw its decline
and fall.
The American Federation OF
Labor arose as the Knights OF
Labor fell. AT convention in
Columbus in 1886. the newer or
ganization received into its menu
bership about nine-tenths OF the
former membership of the Knights
of Labor.
The announced purpose Of the
American Federation Of Labor
was to band together the men OF
the various trades and crafts and
then federate them into great
central body. No social or lodge
or. Brotherhood features were in
corporated in its constitution.
The American Federation OF
Labor now comprises 10 national
and international unions repre-
senting approximately 22,000 local
unions, , and an aggregate paid
membership in excess, OF 2,0OO,000
workingmcn.
The head of the American Fed
Grafton OF Labor is Samuel Com
pers, who has held thu presidency
since 1882, with an intermission
one year. Frank Morrison is the
international secretary of the or
ganization, and John B. Lennon
the treasurer.
Outside Of tie American Fed
Grafton Of Labor are about dozen
labor organizations, the most i'm
portant of which are the stone
masons and bricklayers, and the
various orders Of railroad workers,
locomotive engineers, fremcn,
switchn,en. trainmen, and conduc-
tors.
The national and international
unions not affiliated with the
American Federation of Labor
have a membership OF upwards OF
half million, making the mem-
bership OF all the >labor unions in
the United States between two and
three millions.

Gloria respected his feelings TOO
much to force him to eat. but she
turned to the committee and, claiming
the floor, asked the house to listen
to a delegate from Europe. She made
Casimir speak. He was tongue-tied
at first with embarrassment, but he
warmen to his theme and told OF
the miseries OF his beloved land, over
which vast armies had fought back
and forth again and again till the
wealthy and noble were living in eel
lars and eating husks and the poor
were dying in herds. y
When he had finished every eye
was wet and every heart afire for Po-
land, When Gloria proposed mann
moth lawn festival for Polish relief
there was unanimous assent.
"NNe'll charge fortune for a tea
biscuit and bankrupt everybody that
comes" said Gloria. Then I'll take
the money over to Poland myself to
make sure that it falls into the right
hands"
aAnd I'll go along with you" Doc

that you don't fall into the wrong

Everyone applauded the impudence,
but Gloria answered it with one OF
her blacklist looks. Doctor Royce
was still under the ban. He had con-

well 10 be forgiven in haste. But her
rebuke was ignored in the excitement

no dissent.
Now once more Gloria felt free to
seek David. She found him, hiding

asked him to follow her She had
perfected her scheme for testing his
innocence or his guilt. Her plan was
inspired, no doubt, by what She had

"Of course, its impossible said
Gloria, but it's true, too"
Royce set out to pick up what trace
there might be Of him. Gloria tagged
along. Royce asked every servant

others on various errands. The cook
and her crew had been busy. provid-

called for his own chauffeur. He had
been in the kitchen, he confessed, as
guest at tea party below stairs.
Judge Freeman was not to be found.
As matter Of fact he was the prin-
cipal offender. After he left Gloria
he had wandered about in a deep and
gloomy meditation. He was con-
WINGED that Gloria, with her iinpulsive
and unmanageable temper, was set
upon unraveling every knot in the
tangle. He was sure that her inexpe-
rience with the world would keep her
from foreseeing the consequences and
that she would compel a complete
revelation. This would end only in a
public scandal an enormous and ire
trievable disaster.
David would be put on trial for
his life and Trask would turn states

life. David would perhaps be sem

The beginning Of labor unionism
in America was the organization
OF the Shipwright's society in New

and carpenters followed the ex-

To the printers may be given
credit for the formation OF the
first real union. In 1852 the Ma
tional Typographical union was
formed. Ten years later, to admit
Canada, the name was changed TO
the International Typographical
union.
The success OF the printers
stirred numerous other crafts to
organize and within decade there
were national unions Of machinists,
blacksmiths, iron moulders, tailors,
and representatives OF several
other trades,
