.ElsfRy|CE STUDENTS
PETITION FOR MORE
MONEY FOR TEACHERS

New York. March 25--The attitude
of the man and women who served in
the world war regarding thes poor pay
received by teachers throughout the
United States was forcibly empha-
sized here today when some ten thou
sand students of the knights Of Col
umbus free evening schools for de-
modified service men and women
signed petition requesting the state
legislature to give serious consider
alton to certain legislation now be-
fore that body.
No better Justification for the action
OF the students could be brought for
ward than the amazing fact that in
several of the Spanish. French and
commercial classes of the schools men
and women who are public school
| teachers during the day sit side by
side with the evening students. An
other phase of the matter which gave
spontaneity to the feelings OF the ex-
service men and women developed
through the appearance of many pub
|3fc school teacher and principals in a
like capacity at the X. of C.. schools
The petition calls on all the senators
and legislators at Albany to vote for
the present state wide bills which all
the fifty societies of teachers and
school authorities have acquiesced in.
A recent survey of X, of {. and
other evening schools showed thai
several hundred men and women
school teachers have taken up secre-
tarial courses, languages, COM
mercial law and ethics and other
, studies with an idea of abandoning
the profession of teaching
The turmoil among the teaching
profession over low wages is the most
tive OF the many descriptions which
appear to be focusing among en-
ployees classed in the white collar
degree. Throughout this state the
various teachers and principals So
cieties have dropped all disgruntle-
ments, united and are now unit IN
commanding any laws which may
remedy their present sad condition as
far as the pay envelope is concerned

CAPITAL AND lAB0B'S
INTERESTS ONE

Everywhere, we find new emphasis
on industry. and especially on indus
trial relations, as expressing. the hui
man side of industry.
We recognize that industry has be-
come the chief organ OF civilization,
and that the worlds progress depends
on solving the social problem.
We are resolutely opposed to any
and ali class movements which have
as their purpose the establishment OF
class tyranny. We recognize no rights
demanded in the name of class. Only
eitlzens have rights, and the citizens
rights are balanced always by his du-
ties. We want to see the condition
OF labor improved as rapidly as pos
sible on the ground that the working
man is man and therefore is en-
titled to his fair chance.
we believe that the interests OF
capital and labor are one and cannot
be separated without harm to both.
SO far we have seen no substitute for
the so-called capitalistic system.
Profits for money and wages for work
are infinitely better than any system
Of communism or state socialism.
In an age OF machinery civilization
is impossible. life itself is impossible
without capital. And capital is of no
avail without work. What we must
have. therefore. is a new understand.
ing and cooperation between labor
and capital in the service of the com.
munity. says Leslie's.
This is mainly question of leader
ship and education. The norma
leader of the workingman is his EN-.
ployer. And the normal goal of ar
American woriingman is to become
a capitalist. The right of private
ownership of property is Fundamental |

THE wANDERER"

The wanderer,' the big Biblical
and dramatic spectacle which comes
to The Strand Tuesday and Wednes-
day and Wednesday matinee, will
bring to this city one OF the best
loved stars who ever appeared be-
hind the footiights here. She is
Florence Auer. Her last tour OF
America was as star with MantelI. II
was due to Mr.. Beiasco by the way,
that Miss Auer is now In The Wan
dercr."
Miss Auer has spent the past two
years in moving pictures and in Aus
tralia- When The Wanderer" was
first placed in rehearsal Messrs. F..
Ray Comstock and Morris Gest
owners OF the pl&s. persuaded David
Belascu to supervise the staging. The
greatest problem that arose was
where to find an actress Of suficient
emotional power and charm 10 play
the role of the mother in this big
production. Mr.. Belasco remember
ed that Miss Auer was acting in the
pictures at a fabulous salary. He
telephoned her and asked il she were
not tired Of acting for the movies
and would she not like to play q real
role in a real play behind the real
footlights? Miss Auer not only would
but did, and she made such a ire
mendous hit In the first production
OF '~The Wandcrer" in New York that
tho critics there again declared she
Ia the greatest emotional tragediene
on the American stage. The Amer
lean Bernhard has been her title
ever since.
In THE wanderer" Miss Auer
plays the role of the mother OF the
prodigal son, Jether, who demands
his portion from his father and goes
forth to the big city of Jerusalem
to waste his substance In riotous lfv-
ing. When he returns after his dis
asterous adventure in the wicked city
IL Is the mother love which saves
him from the wrath Of an outraged
father, and ultimately wins his for

impressive and wonderful picture In
the stately robes of HuldAh, the
mother. and to give q superb rendi-
ton to the beautiful lines OF the part.

THEATERS
.FAIR AND WARMER"

Spaeth and company will present
their latest and greatest farce sue
cess Fair and Warmer" at the Strand
tonight and Saturday and Saturday
matinee in answer to a tremendous
demand from all parts of the country
that Broadways favorite play should
be put on tour.
Avery Hopwood. Its author, added
even to his own fine reputation,
achieved with Seven Days and No
body.s Widow when Fair and
Warmer" first appeared at the Ell
tinge theater. New York. to begin its
year-long career as a money maker
and a hugh maker, and Spaeth and
company, who made their fame a,
picking winners with Within The
Law" Twin Beds" etc, put another
notch on their totem pole.
Fair and Warmer" is the mer-
REST of tales. divuiged In three acts
of mounting drama and high pitched
comedy. 1t begins with a revelation
to two highly respectable and domes-
tic persona husband above reproach
and below interest. and a wife. a per-
feet paragon of innocent domesticaliy
that their respective spouses have
been having time more gay thar
creditabie. The very good pair vow
a revenge. and having no experience
to guide or warn them, decide or
counter-naughtiness rs q suitable
course.
They discover that getting into
trouble Is far easier than getting out
OF ii, and that lacking a practised
hand, the consequences of trouble are
more apt to behave like a boomer.
ang than a projectile. It is, in belief
precisely the kind Of thing Avery
Hopwood knows best how to handle
and to interlard with his inimitable
shafts of wit and barbs OF social com.
mentary.
