LABOR FEDERATION
FAvORS HENDERSON

Mr., John r. Thorpe. representative
of the International Association OF Ma
chinists and the railway employees de.
psrtennt OF American Federation OF
Labor, arrived In Ely yesterday morn
ing. Hi visit In this district is In the
interest OF the nonpartisan campaign
being condocted by the federation.
Mr.. Thorpe spoke at Ruth during the
noon hour yesterday at East Ely In
the afternoon and at cNGili last night.
He said thath Q found laborins men
in general showing a keen Interest IN
the campaign and believes that their
chief interest Is In the election
throughout the country of United
states senators and congressman who
have been favorable TO THEN cause.
When asked as TO the situation In Me-
vada, he said:
Senator Henderson must be re-elect-
ed by the working people OF the state
of Nevada. The working people OF
this county have been at this
election as never before M 1t Is pre-
dioted that in addition to re-electing
the former friends of labor. that they
will also elect from fifty TO one hun
dred new representatives who VIII
champion the cause of labor.
At present" the working class have
less representation in the senate and
congress than ever before I'm the bis
tory of the United States. and this
was most keenly realized when the
notorious Cummings bill WAS
presented and IL vase My due 10 the
persistent effort of organized labor
that the bill was modified. When you
realize tina In that bill was contained
a clause hat it would be a misce-
meanor for two or more men 10 aeft
their Jobs at the samet ime. punishable
by Imprisonment. That effect OF
such a law would place n club In the
hands OF railroad owners that they
could IL they So desired make slaves
Of the workers.
1T was then and there decided that
the labor movement should iconoen-
trate in the coming election TO reward
their friends and defeat their enemies,
which IL being dom successfully.
"Labor's slogan. Stand faithfully BY
our friends and elect them imposes
the duty to reward faithful service.
I'VE find tha while Senator Hendef-
son has only been in the senate a short
time he has voted right and has been
on the side OF labor. Under date OF
September /. 1918. the legislative COM
mittees of the foul railway brother
hoods made the following report OF
his record: That he voted right on the
Borland amendment; also on the con-
scription bill, which was intended to
take away from the w~orkingman MS
10 strike. and Senator He3ds--
sou fought hard against taking away
h right and was SUCCESSFUL In nav
ing the Thomas amendment stricken
from the bin. He was also against re-
tanning the Cannon amendment. which
would also have prohibited tho right
10 strike. and assisted In eliminating
that amendment from the bill.

bill are to be defeated. Mr.. Esch. CON

 now at the Palace theater. The
 photoplay is stirring one and was
 directed by Hugh Ford with excel

 The scenes of Secret Service are laid in Richmond, at the crucial time when the capitol of the southern con- federacy was seriously threatened by the Federal army. Two brothers, named Dumont, members of the Unit ed States Secret Service. have been detailed to secure control of the Richmond telegraph office. By send ing a false dispatch to the general commanding the Confederate forces, ordering him to withdraw his forces from a certain point, the Union Army is to break down and capture the city. A beautiful romance is woven into the theme, presenting on the whole a fast moving story with plenty of human touches to make it an ad- mirable screen subject

AT FON'S.

In The Loves of Letty," which opened at -Foxs yesterday afternoon, the legion of Pauline Frederick ad mirers will find much in her DOT trayaI of Lefty to delight them. Her interpretation is throughout stamped with the quality humanness that calls forth throbbing response from the spectator. In the many dramatic mo- ments, she is superb, portraying the entire gamut of emotions with a fidelity that is remarkable.
 The story of The Loves of Letty' is a simple one involving the penalty of those who defy the law of. love for material gain. The author. who was Sir Arthur Wing Pinero. has taken for his central figure a typical girl Of today in straitened circumstances, and has woven around this theme a story of undoubted power and ap- peal.
 The Loves of Lefty is a splendid picture. well cast. well acted and the direction and photography ab- solutely faultless.
 The rest of the screen program is devoted to comedies and Fox News. \ revival of the Charlie Chaplin pictures show that this most widely copied comedian in the world is just as funny and popular as ever. The Fireman" in which he is appearing is irresistible. Our old pen and ink comedians Mutt and Jeff in Departed Spirits add to the merriment and it appears that for good measure an other comedy Nuns the Word is thrown in.
 The vaudeville bill includes Harry Otto and company. Alvin and Shaw, Smith and Masters and The Giacon- das.

moderate.
