was quiet Saturday, according to
news from Holland.
Another strike is reported TO have
broken out at Jena, in the grand
duchy Of axe-Weimar. Authen-
tic reports from other parts of
Germany are lacking and the Ger
man newspapers give little infor-
nation regarding happenings. Vor-
waerts says It 10 impossible to give
news because Of the force Of cir
cumstances.

made semi .officialy in Berlin. 1t

ToDAY's ANNIVERSARY.

The first decided political movement made by the organized labor element in America was at a convention, held in New York 32 years ago today by the Central Labor Union of that city, which nominated Henry George, the advocate of the single tax, for mayor. Aside from the political activity of farmers unions, which found expres- sion in the Populist party, the organ ized workmen of America have usually aligned themselves with one or the other of the old parties or with the Socialists, although in San Francisco and a few other cities Union Labor partes have become powerful. In Europe ehe political activities of the workman may be said to have com menced with the reorganization of the International in 1847. In most coun- tries the Socialist party was the out growth of this association, but in England the Independent Labor Party is the political vehicle for the work CTS.

WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE WORLD OF THEATRES AND AMUSEMENT
POLES

Photoplay and vaudeville extraor- dinary will be the feature of the big Poli pandora of pleasure today and during the first half of the week. Douglas Fairbanks, the worlds most noted screen actor, in daring and amazing feats, comic performance and the host of novelty which he infuses into every picture will be seen upon the screen in the newest of the Paramount Aircraft program photo plays "He Comes Up Smiling" All the Paramount Aircraft features now are first-run at Polrs. In addition to the superlative vaudeville offerings that always are made in addition, Po- Ifs theatre offers the complete pro- grams of the higher classed New York theatres as an adjunct and al- ways at popular prices.
 As an illustration of the vaudeville program Clayton, the worlds great est mystic marvel is the special feat ure. Clayton is said to see all and know all. Never has he been asked question which he cannot satisfactor fly answer. He does so upon the stage when questioned from the au-. dience and answers every letter that may be sent him by mail. He is the great white Mahatma of India. He is a seer of seers, a prophet of pro- phets greater than which there is none other His appearance in Bridgeport at this time is a sensation of sensa-s tions. Do not fail to come to Polls and learn what you want to know. Come early and avoid the rushes.

LYRIC

Mother Carey's Chickens" is the attraction which will be seen at the popular Lyric theatre twice daily this week and from present indications will be one of the most successful which the Poli Players have attempt ed so far this season. Already there has been a large advance sale of tick cts and the management is being be- sieged by applications for reserva- lions for seats.
 Few if any of the reading public have not read the popular book enti- tied Mother Carey's Chickens" and when it is known that the play at the Lyric this week is taken from that well known story some idea of the value of the production can be form ed. Every effort has been made to carry out the dramatic production as near to the story as possible and it's success in New York city is the best criterion of it's merit. The produce tion is one of the most novel, unique and unusual which has been seen on the American stage in some time. It Is neither drama nor comedy, there are no sensational features, not a shot is fired nor is any one murdered, yet there Is enough human interest throughout to hold the most skeptical audience from the rise to the fall of the curtain.
 It is purely a story of home life in which mother sacrifices her all for the sake of her own and a neighbours s children making sacrifice after sac rifice with an optimism which only a real mother can offer. Of course there is love story interwoven with the other features which only adds to the | beauty of the play. Briefly it is one | of the sweetest stories ever told throughe medium of a stock com pany and the characters are well suit ed to the popular PoH Players. There are sixteen characters in the cast
 which has been considerably aug mented with artists of the highest cal iber. Every member of the regular company will also appear and a splen- | did weeks entertainment is in store for Bridgeport's pleasure seekers.

EMPIRE

"Bound in Morocco" which heads the programs at the Empire theatre today and tomorrow gets it's title from the opening scene. In a prison cell in Morocco, we see Douglas bound hand, foot and ankle, tied so secure ly that 1t looks like dollars to deci- nal points that he can't get away. And then some wicked Algerian hurls a bomb at him.
 While the audience, which is begin ming to have a hunch that Douglas will get out of 1t all right, begins to wonder how It happened, some clever captions tell them not to take the plot too seriously. And then we are told how 1t happened.
 It appears Douglas is shooting across the desert in a high-powered automobile, when he Is hailed by a traffic cop, who tries to serve him with a summons. Doug, having a previous engagement for the follow ing a. m, Is determined not to get said summons. The cop chases him clear into the hands of an army of Moroccan highwaymen, who figures OOA6tblb eS tACHy5l 6GllI ILl6l4IlelJ III d mama of speaking.

PLAZA

The pleasant and conveniently lo- cated Plaza theatre this week blends the excellence of both vaudeville and photoplay in it's attractive appeal to the great theatre-goIng public of Bridgeport.
 Wherever you may go and whatever may be offered upon the stage and the screen no more famous persons in their respective lines of artistic en- deavor may be found anywhere than 'upon the Plaza program where Eth ell Barrymore appears in the great screened version of the famous novel "Our Mrs. McChesney" and the Three Mori Brothers direct from Japan bring their speed and grace, enhanc- ed by the most sumptuous and color full scenery of the Far-East.
 Miss Barrymore Is to be seen in a romance of the business world in which bright and beautiful wo- man matches her wit against mascu' line calculation. The piece offers pandora's box of dramatic surprises and a gorgeous display of the latest Parisian and Fifth avenue advanced styles to be worn in womenIs clothing this winter.
 The Morris indeed are exceptiona, headliners in vaudeville, for their of' fering is nothing short of marvellous Their risley work has been comment ed upon from ocean to ocean, and their act has been embellished with the utmost scenic effect.
 Another big treat offered to Plaza audiences is the latest issue of the Allies War review. bringing intimate scenes of the fighting in Europe showing many of Americas troops ir action, with close-ups of many who may have come from this section o1 the country.
 The coedy skit 'Mr. Flynn from Lynn will make the laughter trtcklt and the eyes weep. Without doubt the most excruciatingly funny of all re- cent originalities. Doris Handy ant Company in the illusive sketch Speaking of Men" Is another vaude vile side-splitter and Field Barnes the funny songster will conclude z program of novelty, comedy and artis tic ability.

The seven war-working organiza-

CAN THIS BE TRUE

1t is declared that a sucker is borr

from our knowing of the many
schemes which cunning humanity
evolves for the sharing of other hu

the victim rather than the fellow who
had set the trap when that saying was
coined. We pass scathing judgments
upon those who promote these clever
schemes for furthering their own per-
sonal interests. We even go so far
ourselves as to make believe that all
the world is dishonest, so generally
do we lay at mankind's door the
charge of sharp practices. And still,
as a matter of fact, the number Of
folks who seek to advance their own
welfare at the expense of the general
public is scarcely greater than the
ranks of those who really are trying
to serve the world at their own cost.
We find these people everywhere. In

London, Dec. 1.-The British gov
eminent has completed us basic
plans for rehabilitation of the army
and providing employment for the
men whose sole business for four
years has been war. 1t is calculated
that go per cent of the men in the
army will 60 back to their old jobs or
have new ones awaiting them but
taking care of the remainder even
though every ounce of man-power
will be needed after the war, presents
a most difficult problem.
1t will be long tedious task to
transform millions of men from khaki
to civil life and must be done by de-
gress. BY the plan agreed upon these
degrees have been fixed upon the
needs Of industry with certain con-
sideration being given to married
men or those who may otherwise be
needed in the home.
The government has record ri
what each man Is best fitted for in
civil life. The Ministry of Public
Service which has efficiently com.
piled this data has, together with
other official agencies, prepared list
of necessary industries in the order
of what is deemed their importance
The first few are called ''key trades
many Of which produce materials
needed for use in other trades. The
idea is that it would be useless to
release lot of structural steel work
ers ahead Of the men who produce
steel. The trades list is complete
but will not be announced because
of controversies it might arouse.
The fact that a man has a job
awaiting him will not insure his
early release. The government
would like to be rid of that class
but it cannot handle more than hall
