At Brotman's Rialto,


Bill wasn't much for women folks
but when Florence saved him from
the police after a shooting scrape
he became her sworn protector,
without letting her known anything
| about it. Whenever Florence went
on little trip with a gentleman
! friend, Bill Swallowed them, to see
no harm came to them. And so it
happened that when the little hat
trimmer and the young millionaire
were caught on burning boat 1t
was Bill who saved them both. And
when the quarrel came and the
millionaire scolded the girl for
meeting men in the park it was Bill
who fixed it by showing the man
it was all his fault because he own
ed Brick Dust Row, where Florence
lived, and since the parlors had
been sub-let, the girls had to meet
their friends elsewhere.
This is the theme of "Everyhody's
Girl" which will be seen in the

ADMITS MAJORITY
 OUT ARE FOREIGN
Insists Big Combine Has Jagged Behind A. F. of L. in Matter of Advancing Wages of Workingmen.

Washington, Oct. 3.-Giving a de- tailed history of union activities ln the steel industry, Michael F. Tighe, president of the iron, steel and tin workers union, told the senate com mittee Investigating the steel strike today that the U. $. Steel Corp. in- stead of Heading the van in adVanc- ing wages, as Judge Gary has claimed. has Jagged behind our or ganization.'
 Gary Was Not Informed.
 "Information given to you by Judge Gary Tighe said, was not first hand evidence gained from prac- tical knowledge of the industry but instead consisted of the statements made to him by his employees, fore men and superintendents. It was far from being the truth about the industry"
 Never Sought ''Closed Shops.'
 Tighe repeated the charge that the corporation early in its history had appropriated $2O,0O0,OO0 to fight unions and gave names of his in formants The unions, he said had never sought the "closed shop" but "union shops"
 When the management signs a contract as to scales and working conditions, it is a union shop he ex- plained.
 ''rhe effect is the same as 8 closed shop, isn't it? asked Senator Stearl ing, republican, South Dakota.
 No sir" said Tighe. We are not asking for closed shops and never have.'
 Foster Ready to Testify.
 w. z. Foster, secretary of the gen. eral strike committee. whose alleged views as 8 radical have drawn con- gressional fire, was present at the hearing today prepared to testify after Tighe had concluded. Armed with copies of his book on "syndical- ism' mem bers of the committee were ready for sharp cross examination of Foster.
 MT. Tighe read an advertisement of 1909 credited to the U. $. Steel Corp, which said:
 ''Men wanted-Syrians, Poles and Rumanians preferred
 "The gentleman's (Gary's) re- marks about foreigners now" he re- marked, "are not we'll taken in view of that"
 DO you charge that from 1909 on there was a steady influx of foreign workmen in the corporations mills?" asked Senator Walsh, Mass.
 "Yes, I do," Tighe answered.
 Declaring the present strike was preceded by universal demands for orga nization from steel workers, Tighe said about 100 new charters for local unions had been issued by his organization but that he could not tell exactly how many men had joined for the strike. Initiation fees had been lowered during the organization campaign.
 363, 600 Went on Strike.
 On October i he said 363,60O men were on strike.
 How many of those strikers can not speak English? ?" asked Chair man Kenyon.
