It will be kept under debate a'most contnuousy until passed Speech making today was confined largely to the opposition with Sena tor Reed and former Speaker Cannon the chief obiectors.
 Senator Reed declared that any law which sought to interfere with supply and demand was essentially wrong while Representative Cannon insisted that the whole survey program was | iiladvised and unnecessary
 We already have as good informa- ton as this proposed survey would give" Mir. Cannon said We know the amount of corn, wheat oats and all cereals which We have. We know the amount of consumption in q gen eral way. What would a survey be worth? 1t would give employment to q good number of people,
 Mir Cannon made an unsuccessful effort to have stricken from the bill the section authorizing the depart ment of agriculture to conduct an in yestigation of the food situation. The vote in the committee of the whole was q to Al.

BIG BIZ OPENS NEW FIGHT ON
AUTO TRUCK TENDERS
An army Of lobbyists, recruited and
trained by Big Business and cap
tanned by Fred Upham, coal boss Of
Chicago, and Otto Lehman Of The
Fair, acting as representing Of the
State Street Retail Merchants assn,
stormed the City Hall today to wage
war on the ifesaving auto fender or
dinance.
There were at least 400 men in the
Upham-Lehmann regiment. They
said they were all owners of auto
trucks, but rumor has it that the
great majority of them were straw
bosses, clerks and other employees Of
big corporations.
They poured into elevators and
were carried up to the fifth floor,
where they formed outside Of Chief
Schuettler's Office. Upham and Leh-
mann slipped in first and held a ten
minutes talk with the chief. Then
SchuettIer came out and met them.
He explained to them, although he
appreciated their point of view
(which Seemed to be merely that the
lifesaving device was too much ex-
pense), he could do nothing as the
ordinance had been passed and sign
ed and was now in effect. He called
Major FunkhoUser, who explained
the law to them and told them they
were liable to arrest unless they COM
piled with it.
VIM. Jennings, atty for the Motor
Truck Owners assn, made a speech
attacking the fender as failure in
London, where it has been tried. At
the suggestion Of Jennings, Upham
and Lehman, it was decided to have
Henry Paulman, sales mgr. Pierce
Arrow Co., appoint a committee of
ten business men to kick to the corp.

Virtuous white representing the per
cent taken for the booking agent
managers graft and the yellow one
for the personal representative. "
The money deducted was sent in to
the United Booking Offices and its
other self, the Vaudeville Collection
Agency, because they are one and
the same institution, with a slight
change in officers, and the Vaudeville
Collection Agency sends to the per
sonal agent" 2112 per cent of his 5,
keeping similar amount for itself
for it's trouble. This system is now
in full and prosperous operation.
The net result of this bit of arith-
metic is that the United Booking
Offices and the other members Of
the Vaudeville Trust get 712 per cent
commission out of every actors sall
airy every week he is booked. The
exclusive agent gets at least 2112 and
the actor pays at least the 10 per cent
between the two. y
All this is done in violation of the
law by enactment and custom and
it is because of the White Rats Act
ors' unions determination that the
violation shall be stopped that the
Vaudeville Trust is out to crush it.

Revised Version of Great
Sociological Drama Better
Than Original.

Today is the last showing at the
Wigwam Of the revised edition Of
Damaged Goods" the most forcefuL
instructive and Interesting Of AL
sociological dramas. New scenes have
been introduced and new points OF
strength have been added. Every
child should see this picture with its
parents. who should impress upon
them its seriousness and truth. The
views Of the county hospital are Of
particular worth as they show actual
conditions and the real effects Of the
violations Of the moral laws
There is a very strong sermon for
prohibition in this picture. The con-
sequences Of deeds committed while
under the effects Of liquor are most
wildly depicted
Another strong point is the fact
brought out that there is hope for a
victim Of his own misdeeds Z he will
follow a physicians orders absolutely.
AS today is positively the last time
that this great moral drama viii be
shown at the Wigwam, patrons are
urged to see it while they can.
Children under 16 will not be ad-
mitted unless accompanied by a
parent
Tomorrow, Gail Kane, the beautiful
and talented Frohman star, will be
seen in one Of the best pictures Of
her career, The Brides Silence. -
