Constance Talmadge plays on OF
the leading parts in Intolerance" at
the Columbia Theater Friday and Sat-
urday nights and Saturday afternoon.
The theme of this play is loves strug-
gle throughout the ages. The action
of its four episodes takes place in an
cient Babylon. Medieval Paris, Judea
of the NaZarene and a modern Amer
lean city. There are three love stor-
les and each story has its own set of
characters. Its cast-the largest one
ever assembled for any stage produc-
tion-125,0OO people took part it it-in-
cludes some of Americas most ia
nous film stars. A symphony orches-
ira of thirty will interpret the score.
The court of Baalshazzer, the siege of
Babylon by the Persians under Cy-
rus the Great, the massacre of the |
Hugenots by Catherine de Medici, are
among the big scenes that were very
costly in their production. The pho
toplay has found even more favor
throughout the United States than did
the Birth of Nation" Much of the
of the play was done by Grif-

said, alluding TO evidence adduced by

Smokeless Coal Operators association
assembled to discuss prices. They
spent their money in hotel here or IN

gathered they had chairman and a

Senator Smith and Others
Seek to Strike This Pro-
vision From Bill Before It
Becomes Law
Nv RALPH SMITH.

WASHINGTON. July "A violent
fiuctuation in the cotton market. regis
tering a decline of eight dollars a bale,
senate action yesterday in including
cotton in the food control bill. over the
protest of a number of southern sena-
tors under the leadership of Senator
HOke Smith. As one of the results of
the reaction. il is believed that the SEN
ate may reconsider its action with re-
spect 10 cotton and strike from the
bill that provision before ii finally be-
comes a law.
In leading the tight against the pro-
vision to iaclude cotton in the measure,
Senator Smith registered his first oppo-
sition to the administration bill. He
still is regarded as one of its leading
advocates and has rendered Invaluable
service in pressing il for final passage
through the senate.
The bill. as finally perfected by the
committee is entirely satisfactory, and
will he passed in substantially that
form" said the senator today. Il OPP
posed the proposition to include cot
ton in the measure. and registered my
first objection to the measure in voting
against that section"
The inclusion of cotton I'm the food
control measure was accomplished by
the enemies of the legislation, or a
combination Of its enemies and sena-
tors. representing large urban commu-
mites who hope to reduce the price OF
cotton as a means of lowering the cost
of living.
Senator Smith is preparing a motion
To strike from the bill all extraneous
matter. He will offer his proposition
when the measure masses from the
committee of the whole to the senate
proper.
1T is my idea. after a conference
with Herbert c. Hoover. the food ad-
ministrator. that the bill should relate
only TO food and fuels. and l believe,
with the help of other senator's. it will
be possible to enforce this view" said
Senator Smith. Il regard the bill as it
came from the senate committee as a
splendid piece of legislation. 1t had

IN COTTON CLAUSE

Objectionable features. Yet 1t preserved
the essentials desired by the president
and Mr.. Hoover. In this shape 1t has
been a pleasure to cooperate in urging
its passage, and 1 feel much gratifed
at the progress we have made. 1t will
be a mistake to retain the provision in
GLIDING cotton and wool, and we hope
to strike It."
Holding the new cloture rule in re-
serve administration senators today
made another futile attempt to get the
opponents of the food bill to voluntarily
agree on a time for a vote.
Senator Chamberlain. in charge of the
bill. warned the senate that more than
two weeks have already been used up
in discussion.
He asked for a vote on the bill today
at 5 d. m Senator Penrose at once OBJ
jected,. declaring that he favored free
and fair discussion" and objected to
the use of the steamroller'' in forcing
the bill.
Senator Chamberlain replied that IL
was not his purpose TO urge the use or
the "steamroller," and that he had no
desire to imply that there has been
any dlibuster."
Leaders of both wet" and dry
factions claim victory in the impend-
ing fight in the senate over authorizing
the president TO zeal with llBhl ISNSi-
ages. The prohibition issue will come
to the fore the latter part Of the
week.
With the wet and dry" fight grow
ing in bitterness and the shadow of the
rev cloture rule over the chamber. the
senate was not in good mood when It
resumed debate on the food bill today.
The usually mild tactics of Senator
Chamberlain. in charge of the bill, have
given way to a sharper generalship.
Ills aides, friends of the food bill on
both sides of the senate, are buck mug
ON their armament prepared > use
vigorous efforts to shatter any at

Senator Chamberlain said early today
he is going to have a record vote on
a limited debate rule for the heneht

Meantime. conferences went on to-
day while the senate talked on amend
ments to the food bill. If it's seen no
cloture can possibly be adopted until
after the dry amendment to tHc
measure is disposed of. it is likely an
effort will be made 10 vote on thaH
amendment very soon.
Meantime, both "wets" and "drys'

No Discord Between Him
and Lane, Says Secretary

WASHINGTON, July 3.-Secretary
Baker issued a statement today dis
claiming that there was any difference
of opinion between Secretary Lane and
himself over reduction of the price OF
coal. and saying that his letter to d.
rector clifford. of the national defense
council was written to prevent what ne
regards as a poular misconception of
what he was going on in the coal situa-
ton.
Mr. Baker explained that some pub
lished statements of the results OF the
conference between Secretary Lane and
the coal operators, and the agreement
of the operators to reduce the price OF
coal. might be construed as indicating
that a price had been fixed. That was
not the case, Secretary Baker said, and
no price would be fixed until the fed
eraI trade commission had determined
production cost. Wr. Baker said his
present information indicates that the
IS proposal Of the operators is an exor-
bitant figure. His statement 10 that eff
feet to Director Clifford, he added, was
based on this feeling and he was anx-
ious that the people should understand
that the government had not accepted
such a rate.

illinois Federation
Of Labor Sends Warning

CHICAGO. July 4.-Victor A. OIan-
der, secretary of the Illinois Fedora
ton of Labor, and a member of the
state council of defense has issued a.
warning to Chicago and other northern
cities where the same conditions which
brought about such frightful results
in East St Louis exist" He calls at
tention to protests by organized labor
against what he terms the unnecessary
importation of negro labor at East st.
Louis and says:
81 don't care to say anything about
the situation here in Chicago, but there
should be an investigation. Unemploy-
ment is increasing. Certain classes of
employers are seeking cheaper labor
negroes and women-on the preteXt that
additional labor is needed on account
of war conditions. AS result thou
sands of white men are being thrown
out of employment"
At a mass meeting of negroes
last night, F. l. Barnett, a ne
gro, and a former assistant states
attorney, urged his hearers to be ready
to protect themselves against any mis-
treatment. He said that a short time
might see scenes here similar to those
enacted in St. Louis and that Chicago
negroes should be prepared to make
stand for their safety and rights.
The killing of Charles A. Maronde,
an aged saloonkeeper. by negroes in the
''black belt" on the southside early to-
day brought out police reserves who
took eight negro suspects into custody.
Later the police fired at a crowd of ne
groes in an attempt to stop q fight. One
negro was wounded.
Chief of Police Schuettler has ordered
force of reserves held at the Ffftieth
Street station in the coIored section, to
prevent any disorder today.
