LABOR ASKS US. TO
KEEP L|NES2yEARS
Believe Private Ownership Of
Roads viii Mean Bank
ruptcy and Panic.

In memorial sent to Congress
yesterday, nfteen labor organizations,
Including the various railroad unions,
urged the defeat OF the conferences
report for the return OF the railroads
OF the United States to private owner
ship.
The railroad labor chiefs urge the
continuance OF Federal operation OF
the roads for at least two years in
order that a reasonable test may be
made OF Federal operation under nor
NAL conditions.
They believe the Government can
operate the railroads more cheaply.
more efficiently and more satisfsc-
.torlly than private operators. inter-
ested only In making profits. accord
ing to the memorial.
The labor heads set forth twenty
reasons why Government control be
extended at least two years. They
point out that the reports OF Dtrec-
tor General Hines indicate the roads
are now on a paying basis and that
the return OF the roads to their own
ers will mean an increase in rates
from 20 per cent to 80 per cent.
They believe the increase in costs
of operation will be shifted to the
consumer under private operations;
that the rail owners and executives
are urging the valuation of watered
securities aggregating many billions
OF dollars and that the demands OF
the railroads might be seized upon as
precedent by street railways and
other public service corporations.
They further declare that the Cum
Minis Esch bill invites waste and ex-
travagance, that the return OF the
roads will mean bankruptcy and the
Governments REIMBURSEMENT OF the
railroads would mean returning them
to Wall Street.

court.
The woman, who has been appear
ing at a local theater. was charged
with telling fortunes here without
first paying the city license tax Of
$500. She escaped with an assess
ment of s2.45,, thanks to the ability
Of her advocate to show that she is
not a fortune teller or a clairvoyant,
but a "menta1ist."
The text of the license tax ordi-
nance failed to specify a "mentalist"
in it's provisions.

Interesting program, leading off with

and fancy trick cyclists under the
billing. "Unicyboxologists. This is a
wonderful cycling act including a va
riety of fetes, juggling and a corking
boxing bout. They also furnish plenty
of. good comedy and is a splendid act
thruout.
On second spot Redman and Wells,
with their original offering of sing
ing, dancing and funny sayings. Dave
Roth, monologist, is third while Lean
der and Smith in their laughing skit,
pills for Ills" are on the chosen
spot and now comes the big scream of
this clever program. Holders Mule,
Ebenezer, conceded by all animal acts
in the business to be the most original
and the best laugh getter of any trick
mule in vaudeville.
All in all, this promises t. be a won
derful program efflorescing with
mirth, melody and hilariousness.

MAKE FILMS FOR CHURCHES
New Company Formed to Fill Crow
ing Need of Religious ORGANIZATIONS

New. York. Aug. 21.-The organiza-
ton of a within the church" corpor-
alton, closely affiliated with all the
big Protestant denominations, for the
production and distribution of films
exclusively for churches, was an
nounced today by the Rev. Paul
Smith. a Methodist minister who at
tanned prominence several years ago
closing of the famous Barbary Coast
known as the International Church
Film Corporation.
The action is q result of a growing
movement among churches to adopt
the film. More than $500 churches
now have motion picture equipment
installed. A majority of them have
found the product of commercial film
companies unsuited to church use.
Many of them have given up use of
the films for that reason. Doctor
Smith and other churchmen conceived
the idea of producing films especially
adapted to church use and made en-
tirely from the church's point of view.
The plan calls for the release each
week OF a Biblical film which can be
used in connection with church or
Sunday school services. Also thee
will be released every week q COM
plete program for a recrealiOnai en-
tertainment. which will give the
church a splendid opportunity to take
an active part in community life.
These programs will consist of
drama, a comedy, a news reel and an
educational film.

At the Orpheu1n.

A photoplay based upon one of
Robert Services poems will be the
chief attraction at the Orpheum the
first half of the coming week It is
The Law of the Yukon" a Charles
Miller production for the Mayflower
corporation. 1t is acclaimed as a very
good picture containing a gripping
vital story of the days of the early
struggle for gold in the KIondike re-
gion.
It is-the story of the wife of doc
tor who gives his services to the min
great deal and being courted by one
of the gamblers, finally yields to him
and elopes to the United States away
frorl the trials of the north country.
Tier grim realization that the way Of
the transgressor is a hard one, fur
nishes a part of the dramatic interest
of the story.
Robert Warwick in 1.-THE Four
tenth Man" will be the feature for
the last three days at this theater.
This picture gave Warwick his first
chance to fight a real ring battle for
the screen. It has been long his de-
sire to do just this thing. His oppo-
nent for the battle as shown here is
none other than Kid Mccoy, a former
Daniels plays opposite Warwick in
The Fourteenth Man" which is a
Paramount Aircraft production.
AS an added feature for the entire
week, Manager Hooper has engaged
Edith Lenardson and Eugene Kaye,
who will sing a program of old-time
songs in costume. Miss Lenardson is
a soprano of marked ability and Mr..
Kaye has a remarkably clear and high
terror voice. The act is a revival of
ballads in direct contrast to the pres
en- Jazz craze"
