Disappearing Fruit Stand HaIts Work
 On Ince Play

During the making of Eugene O'Brien's first Selznicl production 'The Perfect Lover," Director Ralph Ince called for a fruit and vegeta ble stand to be erected in the studio. The boasted realism of the movies was carried to the utmost limits by the property man, who bought out an en- tire fruit and vegetable store, and moved it on a truck to the studio. When the set was finally built on the studio floor it was loaded up with every sort of eatables, from bananas, peaches, oranges, grapes and cher ries to potatoes, cabbage, onions, to- matoes and radishes. The scenes which called for this store are among some of the most important in the play, and the set, was therefore left standing in the studio for several days
 If anyone would have kept very close watch upon the store, they would have noticed that as each hour and day passed, the stock was slowly but surely diminishing. First an electrician would walk up, pull a banana off the bunch, and begin to munch 1t hungrily. Next a stage hand would get an apple or two and the assistant director would show a preference for peaches. One thing is certain-everyone connected with the studio took it for granted that the fruit stand was at their command.
 It was late at night when the stock showed a great and sudden loss among the vegetables, and it was later discovered that Sam Brown, the colored 1anitor, was moving the stand in wholesale lots to his Nanny at home. When it finally came time for Director Ince to shoot his vegetable stand scenes, there was not enough stock left to feed 8 hungry canary Another load of fruit and vegetabIos had to be brought to the studio to fill up the stand. Director Ince then placed an armed guard over the stand to make sure that no more of the stock was touched until he had finished filming his scenes

INSURANCE BILL
:.. GETS BY HOUSE
Labor Wins First Round in Hot
Fight for Passage Of In.
portant Bill.

That was a great victory labor
scored in st. Paul Wednesday when
the house passed the state insurance
wonderful victory when one consid-
ers the powerful opposition to the bill
and the enormous amount Of money
that was spent by the insurance COM
panies.
Labor had right on its side and it
matter Of fact, were little concerned
about the bill. It was a straight fight
between labor and the claim agents.
The employers took sides with the
claim agents as matter of choice.
They will find in two years they were
mistaken, that is if the senate passes
the bill and it becomes law.
Duluth men such as Hugh Fawcett,
w. L. Bernard and David r. Erick-
son voted for the measure as their
friends predicted they would do, while
M. B. Cullum and w. A. Pittinger
voted against 1t as was to be expected.
We knew Cullum would trim to the
last, but in the final test would vote
against labor. Pittinger was an in
surance attorney and was first urged
to run for the legislature as an insur-
ance company man.
The fight will now be shifted to the
senate. The insurance men have used
their heaviest artillery. It is now up
to labor to get busy. Keep the wires
hot between home and St Pau1 Get
every possible friend to write to the
senators. The name Of Rev. Father
Lynch of West Duluth appeared on
the insurance company petition
against the bill. Father Lynch de-
MES that he signed the petition and
has written letter declaring that he
Is in favor of the bill. Other peti-
toners will write letters withdrawing
their names from the petition and
will urge the passage of the bill. It
is up to workingmen now to see that
the bill becomes law.

the workers more than ever united in
their determination to stay out of the
mills until their demand for union
recognition is granted. The strikers
state that not a" wheel is turning in
Piedmont nor in Davis, West Virginia,

and twenty thousand unionists Of all
crafts in Blair County are aiding the
strikers with funds.
The West Virginia Pulp and Paper

Last year the employees succeeded ifr

BY CLARENCE s. DARR.OW.

The prosecution Of the war called
forth a large amount of legislation.
In the main, these laws were such as
are usually passed in times of war.
The rules for war are not the same as
the rules of peace and neither with Or
without the war is the conduct of peO-
pie the same.
When a country Is engaged in war,
there is no time to doubt or argue. The
great mass Of people are ordinarily
with the government and while they
are fighting foreign enemies, they will
not allow enemies Mt home to annoy or
such action as is necessary for the pro-
tection of the country. II the mass of
people believe in the policy of war they
are always intolerant Of propagande
to help the enemy or divide their own
ranks.
II the law takes no notice Of 1T, the
people will prevent seditiOus language
without law. This was done repeatedly
during the war of the rebeblliOn. 1T
was common during the war of the
Revolution when the sympathizers with
England were mobbed, hanged and
forcibly. driven from the country. In
North. a. wise and human a President
Al. Lincoln set the example for this
kind OF action. The first law of indi-
viduals and Of nations is self-preserva-
accomplish this result.
Much legislation has been passed
since our war began which seriously
lnterferes with the freedom Of speech
and the press. Many men are now in
Jail, some under long sentences, who
have been convicted Of violating these
laws. No doubt a large number Of
these men were conscientious and hon.
