Predicts Railroads Will
Test Open Shop Issue

MICHIGAN CITY, Ind, Dec. 30
The issue of the 'open or closed
shop will be tested on the trans
portation systems of the country,
John NJ. Glenn, secretary of the
Illinois Manufacturers Association,
declared here today.
Glenn said that prior to the war
S. per cent of the railroad en-
ployes of the country were union
men, but now that practically 100
per cent are brotherhood men.
Glenn said that the brotherhoods
wanted to make the adjustment
boards which the Esch-Cummin s
law provides for. national in scope,
while the railroad management de-
manded they be kept local so that
the executives of each road would
settN their own difficulties. with
their own men.

Oh, My Stars!
HOROSCOPE.
December 81, 1870.

This last day Of the year is sub
ject to an unfavorable rule, accord
ing TO astroloEy. but II ends a
twelve months OF such unusual
events that it is well all the sinls-
ter forces thus eliminate before the
new year.
Saturn. Neptune and Mercury are
all in maIefic aspect. Saturn ruling
the evening as well as the morning
hours with evil power.
The principal influence is likely to
be one of depression and regret over
the past, but This should be COM
bated and overcome.
The planet supposed to rule ac-
counts is in sinister sway, forecast
ing only appointment.
Computations madc. during thIs
confiEura'Eon may stress losses more
than profits, but this tendency must
~ largely imputed te the influ, nee
Of Saturn in evil place.
Letters sent out today should os
watched with care. for the -sv -c-
feet the unhappy me ~ which -

while this government Of the stars
prevails
Real estate, also. Is under an i'll
omened star. and IL is well not to
take any chances in buying until
the planets give better guidance.
Women run a great risk in any
love affair that makes today a focal
date. IL is an unlucky wedding day.
Although the stars may not smile
on the earth today. they still give
fair hope for the new year. which
is to be much better than the old
year.
One of the representations for
1921 is a general spiritual awaken
ing that will be revealed in liter
ature and sart as well as in the
churches.
Persons whose biTthdate IL Is may
have an eventful year. They should
be careful Of letters and writings.
Business may be very strenuous.
Children born on this day may
be exceedingly individual and tall
ented. They should be carefully
trained. for they have great posi-
bilities.

Chaplin. formerly Miss Mildred Harris,

Angeles, bent on making a place for
herself on the legitimate stage as well
as in the film drama.
Discussing her matrimonial expert.
cnces, Mrs. Chaplin told Of the promise
the comedian had made to buy her
gorgeous new limousine" which was
to take her home from the hospital
where she was recuperating after the
birth of her baby. II turned out, she
said. to be the sort of car Charlie runs
into Stag piles and telephone poles in
the movies. And this. according to
Mrs. Chaplin. was the crowning bit of
mental cruelty" that has landed one
Of Americas most talked of movie ro-
manccs in the courts.
"You ought to hear about my limou-
sine" said Mrs. Chaplin. since 1t was
the brightest thing I had to look for
ward to during the long days In the
hospital. When II came to call for me
all my pictures of Rolls Royce tumbled
in heap. 1t was an old second hand

swapped n studio car for. ! went home
in the thing and he wasn't interested
! enough to come for me or even be at thc
house when I arrived.

Court Asked to Keep Proposed
Statue Site Vacant

An old suit. begun in 1916 by the
Pennsylvania Mutual Life Insurance
Co. against the commissioners Of Fair
mount Park. was revived in Common
Pleas Court today. The insurance

ers from removing twelve foot strip

Injunction also would prohibit the plac :
ing on the property any obstacle that
might interfere with the company s

the way for the Parkway. and the work

company entered suit Now it is pro
posed to move the Mckinley statue
from the City Hall plaza to the little
triangle which is at the intersection of
the Parkway. Sixteenth and Arch
streets. Work was begun last week to
place foundations for the statue and
led to the resumption of the suit.
