Wade Question A4ain.

The matter of wages and hours for
work on railroads is again being agitated
by many of the big railroad corporations
in the United States. Some time ago a
general strike was threatened by en-
ployees of the roads, but was for the
time quieted by Congress passing law
which gave the men relief, but was not
satisfactory to both employer and en-
ployee. 4 No doubt, sooner or later there
will be a general strike on all railroads.

Throughout the country the high cost

is claiming attention of various organi-

ports, it would seem as though certain
products were held up in big freight
yards to create scarcity and advance
prices.

MR.. GREX OF MONTE CARLO.
The thrilling novel by E. Phillips OPP
penheim, with Carlyle Blackwell in the
stellar roles, is based on an actual occur
renee which came under Mr.. Oppenheim s
observation while at Monte Carlo less
than two years ago. This prophesy OF
the present European conditions was
written several months before the pres
ent war was declared, but its relations
to present conditions seem most unusual,
although Mr. Oppenheim did not use the
exact characters involved. 1t is a Para
mount Picture.
When this story was published in ser ial
form in The Saturday Evening Post, it
created great wave of comment thro'-
out the world and the photo dramatic
version is said to be unusually startling.
One of the greatest sets ever instruct
ed on the great Lasky stage in Califor-
MIA, was that of the interior of the Grand
Gambling Salon In the Casino at Monte
Carlo. An exact replica of the entire
lower floor of the Casino was construct
ed. Special gaming tables were obtained
and the Lasky Company was fortunate
enough to secure retired Monte Carlo
croupier to supervise the correct arrange
ment of the scene. A number of per-
sons who have visited Monte Carlo con-
graduate the Lasky Company on the ac-
curate resemblance to the real gambling
palace.
