At the Strand

Declared one of the cleverest pictures seen in Birmingham for many weeks. Hard Boiled" is demonstrating to movie fans what an accomplished actress Dorothy Dalton is. and in this picture. showing at the Strand theatre today. she is positively bewitching.
 In this production Miss Dalton for sakes the bright lights of Broadway and plies her trade as a vamp in a small town. There have been all kinds ot vamps, those who wiring millions out of aged millionaires, those who drive man to commit suicide, aITd others who just vamp around town for the fun of it, but in this picture Miss Dalton vamps in a good cause.

Sessue Hayakawa-Alcazar

In his superb dual character, in Bonds of Honor" at the Alcazar, Hay akawa's command of facial expression is astounding, and never fails to register. Probably no actor on the screen today projects individuality, gets inside his characters, as well as does this brilliar1. and versatile Japanese star.
 The reason for this is the mentality of the actor, allied with a vivid imag- ination and facility of expression pos- sessed only by the elect of the drama,
 The theme of the story, contrasting the old customs of Japanese, as shown in Yamashito, with the more modern trend of Japanese thought

Washington, D. c., Aug. 9.-Congress
settled down today to analyzing Presi-
dent Wilson's recommendation for re-
duction Of increased cost of living
Although some members disagreed
with the specific recommendations Of
the president it was believed that pros
pective legislation would follow the pro-
posals he made.
Many opponents of the league Of ma
tions in the senate criticized the stress
laid by the president on early ratifi-
cation of the peace treaty, some Of
them, including Chairman Lodge and
Senator Harding, Ohio, Of the foreign
relations committee, declaring that
there was no connection between ratifi-
, cation and the cost Of living.
The domestic problem now facing the
country may be taken up directly with
the people by President Wilson during
his Forthcoming trip in the interest Of
the peace treaty This was indicated
today at the White House, where it
was also said that plans for the presi-
dents tour were going forward.
Congress Ready To Act. )
Republican Leader Mondell de-
clared in the house today that con-
gress was ready to. act promptly on
such legislation as was needed to
carry out the suggestion made yester-
day by President Wilson for reducing
the high cost of living.
Further appropriations suggested
by the president will be made quickly
Mr.. Mondell said.
Congress stands ready to consider
any estimate" declared the republican
leaders "and hopes that such esti-
mates as are necessary and essential
will be submitted to congress as
quickly. as possible"
In regard to legislation Mr.. Mon
dell said some Of it would be enacted
promptly while that affecting pro-
foundly the politicies Of the govern
ment'' would be debated, All would
receive the active and quick consider
alton OF the house, he added.

RACE RIOT SQUAD
WITHDRAW FROM
CHICAGO YARDS
Thousand Patrolmen and 100
Deputies Remain on Duty
Troops Are Removed
WOULD UNIONIZE NEGROES
President Murphy Declares
Strike Will Not End Until
Permission Is Given

Chicago, ILL.,, Aug. 9.-Five hundred
policemen, 25O deputy sheriffs and the
last of state troops assigned to race
riot duty were withdrawn from the
stock yards today. About 1000 patrol
1nen and 100 deputy sheriffs still are
On duty near the stock yards.
President Martin Murphy of the
Stock Yards Labor council said the
men would not return to work until
every guard has been withdrawn and
permission is granted labor organizers
to unionize the 5000 negroes employed
at the plant.
Union officials declare that of the
43,55O employed in the stock yards
$500 are out, while the packers insist
that not more than 10000 are on strike.
Union leaders predicted today that
between 10000 and 10000 men would
be out on strike at the local stock
yards by tonight. The withdrawal of
state troops from the yards would not
cause the strike order issued yesterday
to be rescinded.
Union laborers at the yards walked
out yesterday in protest, according TO
their leaders, against unemployment of
non-union negroes at the yards and
the use of troops and police as guards.

Chicago, ILL.,, Aug. 9.-While some
signs Of improvement in the strike Of
federated shopmen was indicated by
reports from central west points, others
Indicated that at some divisional points
the men were disinclined to heed the
advice Of President Wilson and their
grand lodge officers to return to work
pending wage settlement.
The reports from midwest points
said that upward of 1000 shopmen had
needed the warning of the president
that their wage grievances would not
be adjusted until they returned to
work. From east, south, southwest and
far west came reports that the men had
decided not to return to work until
their wage demands were met.
Limited embargOes on freight were
continued on a number of roads, but
the most pronounced freight regulations
incidental to the strike were on the
New England lines.
Il. II. Ashton, northwest regional
director of railroads, said:
''The situation appears to be extreme
ly encouraging. We are hopeful that
the president will make the men realize
how i'll advised their course has been.
There is no immediate occasion for the
public to be alarmed. The trains that
have bene cancelled are those which
may be easily dispensed with and the
purpose is merely to keep the engines
repaired for hauling foodstuffs, milk
and ice in the event of a really critical
situation"

that, while both freight and passenger
