this ruthless exploitation and profit
eer'ns, there has been bred among
the working people a deep and stern
resentment. No excuse will be ac-
copied from the congress of the
united States for its failure to find
proposals of constructive nature to
meet situation that has long been
OF alarming proportions and of the
utmost gravity and significance.
Labor Now Demands.
THE working people of the United
states are speaking today in man
oAtory terms They have reached the
point at which they will no longer
endure or. suffer injustice by legis-
>lative enactment and profiteerinR by
private pirates. If those in control
OF the legislative destinies of the
country do not understand the needs
OF the workers, at least the workers
themselves understand. They know
the condition in which they find
themselves. They know the restraint
which they have practiced. Thew
know the limit which there ia to

to be heard. They will be heard,
Their demand to be heard is a de-
mand which comprehends the well
fare Of the country.
1.-The labor movement in its recon-
struction program adopted In June,
1919, and in. its declaration of Dec.
Is, 1919, has laid before the country
constructive proposals for. relief with
which the congress of the United
States is familiar. These proposals
are in addition to the long standing
economic policies and activities of the
labor movement.
Can't Blame President.
1.-The congress Of the United States
cannot say that it has not had laid
before it suggestions for effective &C
ton and plans for real relief It can
say only that 1t would not listen and
would not act.
Against the congress Of the
United States there rests an indict-
ment which an alert electorate will
not overlook.
There must be an overturn in
congress!

united STATES NEEDS
$4,000 new HOUSES

ST. LOUIS, May 2s.-Tne Omitted
States needs $4,000 additional
houses, according to Nelson Cunliffe
Of this city, who today addressed the
spring meeting Of the American
Society of Mechanical Engineers, in
session here.
Mr.. Cunliff is manager of the
st. Louis Housing association, a de-
partment of the chamber Of commerce
and which Is building houses for
working men at cost. -.
Although there is an average of
1,O40,0 900 marriages in this country
annually there were only 10000
houses built in 1913 and 10000 in
1919 Mr.. Gunliffe declared.

trade union traditions, trade union
laws and rules and the highest con-
cept Of the patriotic duty Of Amerl-

the workers must be recognized and
it is recognized.
Appeals for Progress.
1.-The war of another character but
driving toward the same end typi-
fled by the enactments and the
philosophy of the present congress
can be no less ignored and it will
be no less ignored. The working
people Of the United States are
aroused not only as trade unionists,
but as trade unionists, workers; and
American citizens.
There is determination through
out the United States to right the
wrongs that have been inflicted. The
indictment Is based upon the estab-
lished facts Of what has taken place.
The remedy in every case must be
a remedy applied with the facts in
view.
1--WE are going forward in the
United States, not backward. No
American citizen will rejoice that We
have not been able to go forward
with the present congress, but since
we have not been abb to 90 forward
with the present congress, it is the
duty Of Americans to elect a con-
gress with which we can go forward.
To that task, then, bend all efforts"

earnings through stock dividends and
the absorption of excess earnings by
the issuance Of fictitious securities.
:. Return War Profits.
"All corporations and firms should
be required to make. restitution to
the public Of all excess war profits
which. they have exacted.
The war was an interregnum in
which capital should not have re-
ceived abnormal returns, but should
have been used for the common good
and should have received only it,
maintenance and usual rate of re-
turn. Legislation should, therefore
be enacted by congress-, directing the
treasury department. after due in
vestigation, and after the deduction
Of a fair amount to cover normal re-
turns and depreciation, to take by
taxation all excess ! corporate. and
business profits accumulated during
the war period. -.
{ IN. other words. the treasury
should be. directed to take by tax
alton all tho: proceeds of war profit
eering, and to use these funds for
paying the floating and: reducing the
bonded debt Of the United 9 States
thus. reducing taxation. and the cost
Of living, stimulating credit, della
ton, and enhancing the credit of the
government and the value of Liberty
and Victory bonds. =
Simple Justice Demands 1t.
"Simple justice and national honor
require that this legislation be
enacted. The people as a whole Of
fered their lives and their treasure
that the world might be made safe
for democracy. They cannot now
permit those firms and corporations
who used the national emergency as
a means of illegitimate profits to get
away with their dishonorable and dis
graceful gains. They. should be re-
quired by law, to make restitution
through taxation and the proceeds
should be used for the common good.
"Such a.. program. as have out
lined above would not only reduce
prices and profiteering, and bring
about relief from the cost of living
but: it. would also be in accord with
the attitude Of the general mass OF
the people towards business and in
dustry, which has been g. distinct
outgrowth of the war.
New Concept of Industry.
''There can be no doubt that new
conception of industry has been
formed by labor and by large part
Of the general public. Prior to the
war, industry was being primarily
conducted for profit, the theory being
that by competition and by the free
play Of economic. forces, the great
est advantage to the greatest num-
ber-labor, capital and the public
would be accomplished. f.,
ION the. other hand, during; and
since. the war;, the: idea has been
gaining ground and growing in force
and acceptance, that in reality in
dustry is a social institution. In its
most conservative, form it finds sex
preston in the. claim that industry
should not be conducted in q spirit
Of relentless, economic, self-interest
for profit, but while the stimulus OF
profit should be retained and the
fundamental rights Of labor. and
capital should be protected and con-
served, industrial promotion expan-
sion, and operation should also be
a social service and subordinated at
least to democratic ideals and insti'
tutions, and to the general welfare
Of the people"

"Lasca' is based ON the famous
poem by Frank Desprez, adapted for
the screen by Percy Heath, and pro-
daced by Universal on a lavish scale.
The filming of "Lasca" required
more than ordinary attention to detail
for there is scarcely an American who
has not read the poem, recited 1t, or
committed 1t to memory, and has not
hereby pictured indelibly in his mind
the spirit of the cattle-ranger who liv-
ed lin Texas down by the Rio Grand
who worshiped the young rarchman at
whose side she delighted to ride-who
a mixture of lovely saint and petulant
imp, finally sacrificed her young life
to save that of the man she loved.
Tho scenes of 'I.asca" are laid on
/ both sides of the Rio Grande. 1t shows
the life of the Mexicans as well as that
/ of the Texans and gives picturesque
view of the wealthy frontiersman's
existence during the most colorful per-
iod in the history of the Lone Star
State.
Around the story suggested by the
poem the author has woven plot of
the most engrossing interest-of love.
! jealousy and observation-disclosures
/ in the great stampede of the herd.
1 Frank Mayo plays the part of More-
land, the wealthy young American
ranchman; Edith Roberts was chosen
as the ideal player for the role OF
Lasca. Other parts are enacted by
Veola Harty, Arthur jasmine and
/ Lloyd Whitlock.
| In scenic beauty "I.asca'' is said to
excel most photo productions recently
shown.
