PASTORAL SIMPLICITY ),
THEME OF PHOTOPLAY,
"SHEPHERD OF HILLS

Pastoral simplicity of the kind that
approaches grandeur is the inspiring
theme In the perturbation of THE
Shepherd of the Hills" The rugged
honesty and worth Of the men that
lead simple lives in the sequestered
Oxarks are graphically depicted. These
men, tall and outstanding, are the same
type an the sturdy fine trees that reach
UP towards the stars from the eternal
hills. The same type Of men who land
cd upon Plymouth Rock and laid the
foundation for this land of ours. In
this great photoplay are shown these
truly American people, living today as
their forefathers did. Men of giant
strength and the kindness of children.
The people In this play really live their
lives. There is no sham, no affectation.
They love, hate and have their being
all unconscious of the fact that they
are portra ying the great drama of life
The scenic back ground for this great
drama Is supplied from a region in
natures beauties and a part OF the
country which has been seldom photo
graphed. The play consists of ten
reels with especial musical interpre-
tations.
This truly wonderful picture will be

This is the opening picture of 1.-THE

the recent activities of large num-
Der of manufacturers is a criterion.
Many concerns are closing down

that the manufacturers, at recent
meeting, decided to close their plants
for an indefnate period, the object
of which is said to be to force work
men to agree to their terms as re-
garding hours, wages and working
conditions.
The Capital Porcelain Plant, with
a staff of 30, has shut down for one
month
The Star Porcelain Plant is run
ming eight hours daily instead of nine
on five days week, and handling
only piece work. Half of the staff
of $50 has been laid off for an indef-
mite period
All of the women employees of the
Buckthorn Wire Fence Plant, which
is part of the huge Roebling plant at
Roebling, New Jersey, have been laid
off until needed"
The Maddocks Potteries Co, has
closed for two weeks. Nearly all pot

Is Hours For Women.
Recommended By Illinois In
dustriaI Survey.

Springfield, Ill-The Illinois indus
trial survey, created by the last gem
eral assembly, has recommended an
eight-hour day and 48-hour week
for women workers in this state. This
recommendation is signed by DR..
James B. Herrick, chairman Dr. Geo.
rye w. Webster, DIR. Soloman Stranse
Elizabeth Maloney, of the Waitress
es' union, and Agnes Nestor, of the
Glove Workers union
A minority report is submitted by
the two representatives of the en-
ploying interests.
The majority report declares that
the tendency toward shorter hours is
upheld and justified by the opinion
and experience of industrial physi-
clans in the industrial field
Seasonable industries working long
hours, it sis stated, show marked
drop in production early in the busy
season, while short hour firms in the
same field show that production is
or increased throughout
the busy season.
A group of al physicians of wide
experience in industrial work report
ed on working hours and their effect
on health of the worker OF 35 ply
sicians replying to the question.
"What in your opinion is the best
length for the working day for wom-
en- in industry?' 26 stated eight hours
and three said fewer than these.
Other opinions of these physicians
were:
"There is a definite bad effect of
long hours on health and beneficial
effect observed where long hours have
been shortened.
"The long day has been harmful
effect on maternal functions, particu-
larly in certain types of occupation.
Long hours tend to decrease the
number of industrial accidents, al
though distribution of these
through the day shows no clear con-
nection with increased fatigue"

to use ON "no-strike' bill by Repre-
sentative Freeman. The bill is pat
termed after the Colorado law, which
is violated at will by trade unionists
in the Rocky mountain state.
In both cases the worker must stay
at work while the state commission in
vestigates industrial disputes. If the
worker quits while the office holders
confab about the matter, he'll be jailed
or fined. This scheme was imported
from Canada into Colorado. AS trade
unionists have their own notions about
freedom, they are not bit diplo-
matte in their opposition to any pro-
posal that would hold them to their
jobs.

the Commission contain within it the
germ of Industrial feudalism, win

ers and retard the development Of
character and responsibility by the
American wage Garner and natural
lied industrial employees
The proposal of the advocates of
compulsory health insurance to have
the State spend $500,000 in supervis-
ing and administering the plan is
sufficient proof that it is proposed,
to have the State, in conjunction with
the contributing employers, super
wise and administer the employees
in their private and personal affairs,
under license of law and under the
plan that it is for the common good.
One of these dissenters proposed,
and both voted to approve, the prin-
ciple of health insurance for the pur-
pose of meeting the cost of sickness.
The approval of the principle should
by no means oblige one to the sur
render of their liberties Opportuni-
ty should be given the citizens to
study the principle to the point of
practise, and the state could wisely
use the $500,0O0 which the advocates
of the compulsory plan agree would
be the probable cost to the State of
supervising and administering the
plan, in promoting the public health
through proper preventive measures
and looking to the curtailment of tub
erculoses, typhoid, smallpox and ven
ereal diseases. An adequate Public
Health Department could educate the
public improve factory and housing
conditions, abolish slums, improve
rural health and promote the organ
ization of health insurance units, and
the State could encourage same by
the offer of subsidies, if organized up
on plan approved by the State.
This would leave the initiative with
the insured and allow them to deter
mine the form and scope of the insur-
ance and the extent of which they
desired to be supervised.
1t has been stated repeatedly by
the advocates of compulsory health
insurance that the employees can uot
carry the cost, even under an insur-
ance plan, and that it is therefore
necessary to compel employers to con-
tribute to the funds to be created, with
the state paying the cost of super
vising and administering. If this is
true, it surely finds labor in deplor-
able condition, especially when it is
taken into consideration that the pay
ment of so cents per week by all
employees, with employers not con-
tributing, and State supervision and
administration excluded, would bring
about the idealic health conditions
dreamed of by the advocates of com
pulsory health insurance. This is ar

Old Tricks.
Being Played By National
Emigrated League.
Would Import Cheap Labor So
AS To Lower Wages.

New York-The national liberal inn
migration league has issued a state
ment against the proposed stoppage
of immigration for period of four
years. The league ignores industrial
conditions in this country and declares
that it would be wiser to wait until
we have a problem before we attempt
to solve it"
This league opposed the passage of
the present Burnett immigration re-
striction Jaw in 1915 At that time
President Gompers made public a
series of sensational documents
which showed that the league was
financed by large employers of labor,
and steamship companies.
The list included the Pittsburg Coal
company, Susquehanna Coal company,
Carnegie corporation, Lackawanna
Steel company, Jones & Laughlin Steel
company, Berwind- White Coal Mining
company and other large employers.
Among the documents was a cable
to the Hamburg steamship line, Ham
burg, Germany, in which officers of
the league state that they owe $1,000
in salaries, rent, printing, etc, and
that unless we pay Immediately we
will be sued and put in bankruptcy
with disagreebale consequences for
all concerned"
In urging large employers to con-
tribute regularly to the support of
the league, officers state that 1--WE
have to send appeals and communi-
cations to some $4,000 influential
persons, most of them clergymen."
1t was also stated that it is neces-
sary to send to Washington to num-
Der of delegations composed of mem
bers of various nationalities The
league gives this hint on how dele
gates were chosen for these junkets:
But the delegates were not really
chosen by bodies of their own nation
alities."
Since President Gompers' expose
the league has kept out of public
print up to the present time.

the employees should be declared the
indigents or wards of the State be-
cause they have been the victims of
social injustice, and because of the
failure of the State to perform its
full health duty, or that they should,
like Esau, be confronted with the
proposition to call their birthright
for temporary, and under the propos-
ed health insurance plan, partial re-
lief. This birthright, in this instance,
is Individual and industrial liberty
For its surrender, it is proposed to
compel all employers to contribute to
funds in equal proportions, dem
ocratically administered" and the
plan supervised and administered by
the State
Inasmuch as the wages, hours and
working conditions of employees de-
termine the housing, food and health
of the employees and their families,
if compulsory health insurance plan
was put into effect, justice would
dictate, at least, that where the wage
was below the standard required to
maintain the employee and the av-
erage-sized family in comfort and
health that industry could bear the
whole cost of health insurance and
the same be collected, administered
and disbursed by the State. But,
after all is said, the advocates of
present plans for health insurance
fail to recognize that monies levied
upon employers to pay for sickness
of employees will divide the two into
classes of givers and receivers, and
the tendency and result, we believe,
will be to cause a demand to be made
upon the part of the giyer class to
be given the right to regulate and
supervise the class receiving the di-
rect money benefits.
We do not believe that such funds
can be "democratically administered"
where the employer gives and the en-
ployee, though contributing, is the
apparent recipient of benefits at the

expense of the employer.
1t is our opinion that the State
of the individual, and should only
then do so when failure to act i'm
perils the interests of the whole or
any considerable part of the people.
Above all, no legislation should be
considered which will have a tendency
or invite an attempt by one class of
the citizens to impose their will upon
the others. Under the proposed COM
there would be promoted such effort

to impose the will Of one class upon
the other under the plea that they
were paying part of the cost Of the
