THE PALACE.

A story of tangled loves and blinded
romance-that's THE Invisible Di-
vorce," the present day sensation in the
world of the cinema and this crashing
picture comes to the Palace this Sum
day night and the three days following.
The theme of the story IS the pitfalls
that beset the paths of persons who
start their romantic journeys along the
martial highway without considering
the possibilities of bumps and ruts in
the road. Jimmy Ryder and his bride
"Pidgie" set out to conquer the world
but adverse circumstances caused set
back Love flew out of the window
and poverty entered the door. Then
there came a reversion of infatuation
upon Jimmie's part to a former flame
and before the storm abates and the
clouds roll by there are many dramatic
and emotion firing moments There will
be a surprise five part feature also
shown on Sunday night together with
Palace News Weekly and a comedy and
the vaudeville which accompanies the
big picture will be headed by Sweet
les" the title being the present day term
for ones best girl or ones best fellow.
Other acts on the same bill with the
big time stamp on them are Shrine and
Fitzsimmons presenting their vaude-
vile offering, I"Around the Corner" ;;
Two Jordan Girls, the last word in the
matter of skill and daring on the wire;
Bib Milliken, who is familiar to mill
lions of screen devotees, and Foster and

The Levine bakeries, VIGOROUSLY I'M
fair to organized labor, but listed I'M

union, has been reaping big profit be-
cause many gentiles thought it fair
made union bread and have been cut
ting off the Gilbert, Thompson and 9TH
er breads therefore. While advertised
as union made it is not but the drive
was allowed to go on because it was
hurting the big Gentle firms locking
out the bakers. Now that these firms
are on the run Levine will be attended
to.
Blanchard is another advertising
union bread" There is nothing to
stop the firm using the word union as
long as it doesn't attempt to include
the registered label The firm is yet
not signed UP and therefore its bread
is not within the scope of the recog-
nized "union-made" bread.

the total number of telephones in the
state on that date, thoroughly salts
factory business development through
out the state is indicated. The figures
for the half year represent a net gain,

dications forecast a continuation of this
great expansion of its public service.

AT THE UNION THEATRES
THE BIJoU.

Tom Mix comes to the Bijou this
Sunday night and the three days fol-
lowing appearing in his latest western
thriller, THE Terror" in which he abb
so 1utely outdoes all previous stunts of
daring. The picture is an absorbing
tale of the days when the nine-tenths
of mans law in the far west rested in
the barrel of gun and the f1inty hard
ness of bare fists. Briefly the story
concerns the efforts of mo Limit"
Carson, deputy marshal, to run down
1eakages of gold from the Sonora Gold
& Copper Mining Company. Follow
ing an investigation Carson suspects
Sheriff Candy and Con Norton, owner
of the Odeon Dance Hall, who are
using as their tools Fay La Cross, a
dance hall girl, who is confidential sec
rotary to the president of the mining
company. 1t is only after, series of
thrilling escapades that Carson brings
the culprits to justice. There will also
be shown the final episode of "The Lost
City" and some thrills are surely prom
ised. A comedy and other features will
be on the same program with two COM
p1ete shows the second on Sunday night
starting at 8. Added interest will at
tach also to the showing the coming
week every day and night of the film
"She Would Be a Vamp" which was
made on the stage of the Bijou with a
local cast of amateurs. The vaudeville
which will be shown the first half of
the week will be headed by the Five
Tasmanians in a combination of sing
ing, dancing and whir1wind acrobatics,
and the special feature of the bill will
be that splendid singing number, "a
Night at the Club offered by the Max
well Quintette. The added feature will
be Norton and Wilson, dancing man
and a mighty pretty girl, offering "a
Diversion of 1920" and other acts on
the same bill are Nardini, girl come
dienne; Fa yand Thomas in their, offer
ing with special scenery, Meet the
Wife" The last half of the week a
vaudeville bill with two big features
is on the way, Icons Ponies being an
especial booking for the kiddies, and
"Broadway Nights presented by COM
pany of four people showing something
entirely new in the way of vaudeville
offering. There will be a fine picture
bill and continuous performances daily
with little prices always.

HAZELTON HoNoRED.
The O'Donnells, New Haven
Typos, Spend Vacations There.

The Connecticut Labor Press takes
pleasure in announcing the presence OF
one of its staff at the present time in
the coal region. This means that IN
the event of any sudden development
in the situation between the operators
and miners we shall be able to present
to our readers special dispatches from
one of the best trained special CORES
pondents and sporting writers in the
United States, namely William A.
O'Donnell. member of Typographical
Union No. AZ and foreman of the Con-
necticut Labor Press composing room.
Brother O'Donnell, we are free to
confess, did not go into the coal region
as our special correspondent or sport
ing editor. He went to Hazleton, Pa,
on his vacation. 1t was at this historic
SPOT, too, that Brother O'Donnelrs
nephew and namesake, William O'Don-
neil, also of the Labor Press composing
room. spent his vacation, following
preparatory course at one of the New
Haven hospitals. Hazelton is proud
community this season, it is reported,
over having so many such distinguished
visitors.
That Brother O'Donne11 is perfect
ly good sporting writer and correspon-
dent is proven by his first dispatch, just
received at this office on postcard. 1t
reads:
Sleeping and eating is the live sport
here"
Truly there's one great sporting auth
GRITTY who has found a congenlal held
for his talents.

sis should be made with the proposals
and the declarations of the Democratic
party. These we submit in the fore
going.
The men and women of labor of the
United States and her 1iberty-1oving
people must judge between the declara-
tions of these parties. The impending
campaign and election for President
and vice-president, United States SEN
ators and members of the House of rep
resentatives is upon us and the citi-
zenship of Our country must determine
its own course in electing these can
didates for these Offices who are most
friendly disposed toward Labor, JUS
tice, Freedom, Democracy and Human
ity, and to defeat those who are less
friendly or more hostile to these prin-
ciples.
Labor of America is not partisan to
any political party; it is partisan to
principles; the principles of justice and
freedom. 1t undertakes neither to die
tate nor control the choice of the work
ers or the citizenship generally for
which party or candidates they should
vote, but it would be a pa1pable dere-
LECTION of duty did we fail to place the
facts before the voters of our country
upon the records of both parties and
their respective candidates for public
office

LABOR PARTY IS
SWALLOWED UP In
CHICAGO MIDDLE
Amalgamates With Farmers and
dominates for National
Officers.

AS was expected it would be- the
Labor Party movement which met in
convention at Chicago this week, was
swallowed up or amalgamated, by other
factions and although it has part OF the
name of a new party and the nominee
for vice-president, what it hopes to &C
complish through the result of the mix
up cannot now be even guessed at by
other Organized Labor men. Through
the furore of the "48ers," the single
takers, the farmers and the Labor party,
first came out the so-cailed FARMERS
Labor" party which nominated Farley
Parker Christensen, Salt Lake City
attorney, for president, and Max >.
HAYES, a Cleveland, O., labor advocate
for vice-president. Before thas was
accomplished the different factions at
Chicago were so hopelessly split that
any idea of uniting into strong and
solid party that might have chance
of election was disposed OF.
The convention almost nominated
Senator La Toilette until the latter sent
in word that he would under no cir
cumstances have anything to do with It.
Besides Christensen were then suggest
ed Dudley Field Malone of New YORK.
Eugene v. Debs, the socialist nominee
Henry Ford of Detroit; Louis r. POST
assistant secretary of labor; Governor
Ivnn ]. Frazier of North Dakota; Jane
Adams of Hull House, and several
others.
When vice-presidential candidates
were called for, the convention was was
swamped with a list of more than ~
but name after name was Withdrawn
either by the candidates IN person or by
friends until only three were left
Max S. HAYES, Carrie Chapman Gait,
suffraqist leader, and Lester Barlow,
leader of the World War veterans and
of New Haven divorce case lame.
HAYES received all excepting. about a
dozen votes, and the nomination then
was made unanimous, and at 5 O'Clock
the convention adjourned sine die

In view of the heavy and constant de-
nand for telephone service there is
little wonder that there is at present
shortage of telephone supplies in some
lines and that occasionally little time
elapses between the signing of a serv-
ice contract and the installation of the
telephone. Lack of supplies is often the
cause of such delays. Then, too, the
plant force of the company is working
at higher speed than ever. For every
three new subscribers, two old ones
cancel their contracts and their service
is withdrawn. The company is, how
ever, doing its utmost to keep pace, in
material and supplies and workmen,
with the public demand for telephone
service and its record achievement in
the first half of the year shows how
well it is succeeding in this effort
