At the Majestic.

The large cast supporting Nor
ma Talmadge in her latest select
picture, The Safety Curtain" at
the Majestic tonight, strengthened
by about 80 people employed in an
ensemble scene were the recipients
of a gracious piece Of hospitality
by their star one day during the
filming Of some of the scenes.
Instead of knocking off produc-
ton for the usual midday period
during which every one scrambled
off after his own luncheon, Miss
Talmadge, with great forethought,
had ordered a plentiful supply of
luncheon for the entire company.
When the mornings scene-shoct-
ing was at an end, the studio as
sistants surprised and delighted all
hands by setting out hot dishes,
sandwiches, coffee, and the inevi-
table pie in great profusion.

FAVEU|L HALL IS
SCENE OF DISGRACE

BOSTON, Dec. S-A free -for-aII
fight occurred tonight in Faneuil hall,
when policemen, in answer to a riot
call, expelled about 100 disturbers from
a meeting at which members of the
Italian labor mission to America were
the guests. The riot call was sent in
when the disturbers cheered for the
bolshevil<i, refused to stand when the
Star Spangled Banner was sung and
threatened an Italian band until it
played the Italian Hymn Of the La
borer." The rioters had taken the
meeting out of the hands of the labor
organizations which arranged it. A
struggle took place on the stairway of
the famous building and many dis
turbers were thrown down or dubbed
into submission by the police. The
more belligerent were taken away in
patrol wagons.
The meeting was called to enable the
Italian mission to extend the greetings
of King Victor Emanuel to Italian
workmen here.
When Dominica DAlessandro rose to
read a message from the king there
were jeers and shouts from the dis
turbers, who had taken possession of
a gallery.
Michael ]. O'Donnell, president of
the Boston Central Labor union, jump
ed up and asked the band to play the
Star Spangled Banner. The laborers
continued to jeer and refused to stand.
They demanded that the band play
Hymn of the Laborers." and when it
did. they rose and shouted the words
Of the song.
Then the police arrived.

MASARYK HASTENS
TO PRAGUE so HE
MAY CALL SESSION

PARIS, Dec. s. (Havas) Prof.
Thomas G.. Masaryk. president of the
Czecho- Slovak republic, will mage only
a brief stay in Paris, having received
word by courier shortly after his ar
rival here asking him to proceed at
once to Prague. Upon his arrival there,
he informed an interviewer, he will
convoke the parliament and will ad-
dress to it a message explaining the
political situation and setting forth the
grave problems confronting the repub-
lie in the present circumstances, not
ably those having to do with its rela-
ticns with neighboring states.
President Masaryk said that the re-
publican form of government adopted
by his country seems likely to be the
lasting form, and in fact the only one
possible. He declred the best of re-
lations existed with the Jugo- Slavs and
likewise with the Rumanians and the
Galician Poles, the aspirations of all
being dependent one upon the other.
AS to the Russian situation, Presi-
dent Masaryk said he considered it the
most critical problem for Europe and
humanity. Without a strongly organ
1ze4> Russia, he declared, no stable
peaSe would be possible. The Russia
of tomorrow, he thought, must supply
a counter balance for Germany.

general of the Emergency Fleet cor
poraton was accepted by President
Wilson yestertH in a wireless mes
sage, will return Immediately to ac-
tive participation in the MANAGEMENT
of the Bethlehem Steel company. he
announced at his home here tonight.
The emergency for which l entered
the government service has passed" 5"
Mr.. SchWab said. THE Emergency
Fleet corporation has been placed on a
basis for economic construction. rath-
er than war time construction. Nv
own affairs are of such magnitude that
L feel L will be of greater service to the
country there, during the period of re-
construction, than l would be as di-
rector-g general of the fleet corpora
ton"
Mr.. Schwab said that while he ex-
pected some economic troubles" dur
ing the period of reconstruction. he
believed that period would be short
and that the nation would emerge TO
greater industrial development than
ever before.
I'm going right ahead in the same
optimistic and progressive spirit as in
the past he declared
Mr.. Schwab expressed deep appre-
citation of the tribute President Wilson
paid him in the message accepting his
resignation, and declared that had he
failed in the task assigned him, he
would have had only himself to
blame
II want to say" continued Mr.
Schwab, that during my nine months
as director of the fleet corporation. ]
met with the most loyal support from
the president down.
THE president was exceptionally
helpful, carrying out to the letter his
promise that he would let me dc
things in my own way. Mr. Hurley, as
president of the shipping board, and

summoned from II western states, CON-
ferred here today with +. A. Silcox.
field director of the organization, in
an effort to perfect plans for providing
employment for soldiers, sailors and
other war workers upon their dis
charge from federal service.
Mr.. Silcox declared that after exam
ming men in numerous cantonments
throughout the country, he estimated
that fully 80 per cent of them will re-
turn to positions held by them prior to
their entrance into military service.
Various phases of the task of finding
suitable employment for the remaining
90 per cent were discussed.
Mr.. SilcoX also declared that much
of the work of the organization will be
Iightened by the action of cantonment
commanders, who will endeavor to es-
tablish former relations between their
men and former employees, with view

ton before he is discharged.

STEEL COMPANY IS
REMINDED Of ITS
OBLIGATION To MEN

NEW YORK, Dec. S.-The national
war labor board made public here to-
night an order denying the request Of
the Bethlehem Steel company that the
boards examiners be withdrawn from
the companys machine shops and that
it be permitted to make the necessary
arrangements of our working forces to
meet the new peace time conditions"
The order. which was in the form CT
a letter to Z. G. Grace, president of the
Bethlehem Steel company, signed by
William H Taft and Basil NJ. Manly
joint chairmen of the board, took sharp
issue with Mr.. Graces statement that
the company was unable to adopt ''the
finding of the examiners in favor of the
machine shop employees "as it was pre-
ceded by the cessation of hostilities."
The board characterized his letter as
"a refusal to respect the authority of
the war labor board" which it was de-
clared would continue until President
Wilson proclaimed the signing of the
peace treaties, and insisted that its
findings be carried out fully and
promptly"
Mr.. Grace's attitude, the board held,
involved the good faith, not only of the
Bethlehem Steel company, but of the
government as well.
Asserting that its action in assuming
supervision of labor problems at the
Bethlehem plant resulted from repre-
sentations of war department officials
that the conditions in the Bethlehem
Steel company were greatly endanger-
ing the successful prosecution of the
war the board said it had "exerted ev-
cry resource" to keep the men at work
Mr.. Grace, it was said, personally ap-
proved a system of collective bargain
ing which brought about greater indus
trial effort on the part of the workers
~ ou now wish to repudiate that
system of collective bargaint>g.~ ~
communication says, and ask that the
the boards examiners be ---ithdrawn.
The findings of the board do moi
require you TO continue in your employ.
ment any man whose services no longer
are needed, because of the cancellation
/ of war contracts. The board does re.
4 quire, however. that you carry out ir
good faith the findings of the board
upon the basis of which your employees
, consented to remain at work, and thus
maintained the production and profits
of your company.
IF the award should now be repud.
lated, your Workmen would have ever1
reason to feel that they had been de.
ceived and grossly imposed upon b,
your company, by the war labor boar;
and by other government officials. whit

BAVARIA FACES
STARVATION AS
AWA|TSHARvEST

MUNICH, Bavaria, Saturday, Dec.
7.-(By the Associated Press)-Ba-
varia is so short of industrial coal that
industries are closing daily and all of
them may be compelled to shut down
within a few weeks at the outside,
which would add thousands of men,
without positions, to the large num-
Ier of demobilizeG troops.
"he country also is SO short of food,
tally flour and fats. that the daily
normal average of $500 calories has
been reduced by half, and soon will
undergo another reduction.
There is the barest margin of food
until the next harvest, and to cap the
climax, there must be demobilized in
eight weeks, an army that it is calcu-
lated will absorb twelve to fourteen
months in finding employment
This is the situation that was out
lined to the correspondent today, by
five department heads of the ministry
of the interior. The coal shortage is
due to French occupation of the Saar
district The entire Bohemian district
is closed and Silesia is unproductive,
owing to Polish troubles and disturbed
transportation caused by the German
retreat.
Moreover. the department heads said
nature had added a crushing blow.
There had been an almost rainless
season, which rendered the water
power system useless, and compelled
the use of coal for the generating of
electricity. They said Bavaria is look
ing anxiously TO the United States, in
the hope that it will send food. The
potato crop this year, they averred.
was only two-fifths of that of last
year, owing to the frost, and the seven
pounds weekly ration no longer was
possible.
The bad hay crop had resulted in a
shortage of milk, butter and cheese
the department heads added Vege-
tables were average. but fruit was
scarce. The disturbance due to the
transfer of people from a war to a
peace footing, and the prospects OF
widespread unemployment threatened
a catastrophe, they said.
All Munich and all Bavaria are
awaiting with little concealed ANXIETY
President Wilson's arrival in Europe
They hope for a peace which shall NOT
crush Bayarians utterly, and which
shall give them an opportunity to re-
| organize their state.

Bruce Bielaski of the department of
justice in testimony before the senate
committee investigating German propa-
ganda in this country, sent a telegram
tonight to Senator Overnan, chairman

lorying and misrepresenting loyal and
publicspirited citizens for having, in

the authorities for furnishing milk to

II did not know of the circum-
stances the telegram continued, but
it now appears that in 1915 Mrs. Inter
myer committed the heinous crime of
not only permitting, but of actually
abetting a meeting at her home to de-
wise ways and means of urging upon
our state and postoffice department.
that they secure the consent of Great
Britain to the lifting of it's blockade,
insofar as TO permit dried milk to be
sent to the starving babies Of Ger

Our government was then insisting
that the blockade was contrary to in

was made to President Wilson.
AS soon as Mrs. Untermyer found that
our government was unable to do any
thing TO get the milk TO Germany. she
reluctantly resigned"
