Acquittal," and it begins it's weeks
engagement at the Sunday matinee.

.formances early in the week refrain
from telling their friends of the novel

friends may not be diminished by
knowing the story in advance. James

Hurst, Mary Hart and John Golden
all have splendid parts in The
Acquittal." 49,.

Anti-Strike Provision in
!: Industrial Law. j.,

DENVER, May 2e.-While invol-
untary servitude, other than punish
ment for crime, is against the. con-
stitution, slavery for 80 days is legal.
The above summarizes a decision
by the Colorado state supreme court
in upholding the 30-day clause of the
state industrial law which forbids a
strike pending a. hearing and award
by the commission.
. The court says this 3O-day denial
OF strike rights is not involuntary
servitude, because "any individual
workman may quit at will for any
reason or no reason
There is no prohibition of a
strike" declared the court. 1.-THE
only thing forbidden is strike be-
fore or during the commissions &C.

Wisconsin industrial, Commits
sioner Says Accidents Claim
More Lives Than War.

MADISON, Wis. May 26.-Lack of
direct contact with them makes it diff
ficult for the average person to real
ize the ravages in human life caused
by accidents of various kinds, says
George P. Hambrecht, chairman of
the state industrial commission.
''Statistics show that approximately
$4,000 deaths result from such causes
every year in the United States alone,
an average of about 222 per day."
he says
I'm 1919. according to data pre-
pared by the national safety council,
more than $4,000 persons were killed
and over 100000 injured as a result
Of accidents in American industries.
1T has been shown that 77,118 of
the American 'expeditionary force lost
their lives, while a total of 302,612
casualties of all kinds were reported.
For the period of American partici-
patton in the war the yearly average
of deaths in the force was $4,000,
while that of casualties reached 1907
600. 1t is apparent. from a. COMPARE
son of these figures. that twice as
many deaths are being brought about
through industrial accidents-three-
fourths of which are avoidab le-than
were caused on an average during the
world war;
= The state official says that the total
number of accidents in Wisconsin are
unknown but that 18,441 compensate
accidents were reported in 1919. This
means an average Of 1886 per month,
80 per working day, six per hour or
one every 10 minutes, and an annual
loss of $10,O00,000.

REPUBLICANS ARE ANGERED
Systematic Deception" Being Prae.
tieed by the Administration, Say
Idaho Senator on Reading As
ISOLATED Press Dispatch.

Washington. - The administration
was accused by Senator Borah OF "sys-
tematic deception" provided advices
from abroad regarding American par.
ticipaticn in the reparations commits
sion were correct.
Senator Borah read an Associated
Press dispatch from Paris saying that
Roland w. Boyden, American mem.
Der of the reparations commission,
ruled that Belgium's debts to the al
lies, payable by Germany under the
peace treaty, should be made at the
rate of exchange for gold marks on
Armistice Day, Nov. IL, 1918. He was
asked to make decision by the allied
supreme council as to whether pay
ment should be made at present rates
or upon the rate at the time the loans
were made"
''If this dispatch be true" comment
ed Senator Borah, "a systematic de-
ception Of the American people is in
progress"
Several days ago Senator Borah Of
fered a resolution calling upon the Sec
rotary of state for information concern
ing the past and present employment
of Boyden, Col. Blanton Winship and
Mr.. Kipplinger. This resolution has
not come up for action. When it does
Borah will speak on the subject and
advise his associates OF statements
regarding the activities of these men
in allegedly performing official servi-
ces for the administration.
According to the information Sena-
tor Borah has received, Boyden sits as
a member of the PREPARATIONS commits
sion, his standing being in every re-
spect identical with that of the other
representatives. His vote Is said to be
cast on all problems that arise and
counts equal to any other vote.
1t is said he performs his full share
of work and his rulings are accepted
as conclusive by his coworkers.
Republican leaders in the senate
were much irritated because Of the ca
blegram from Paris indicating the Of
fetal activities Of Boyden. 1t said all
their advices have been to the effect
that Boyden merely served as an cob
server" and took no active part in the
proceedings.
It is expected there will be a good
sized fight when Borah calls up his
resolution of inquiry. This will be
done at the first opportunity.

Surprise was indicated in some quar-.

British list, as much had been reported
in the press and there had been diplo-

the British government to nmve six

be added to the list later, but present
advices are that the British authOri-

Premier Lloyd George is believed to
have been in possession OF this infor-
nation when it was officially announc-

be limited to four members no matter
what any other participating power
decided to do.
1t is expected that the BritishAdele-
cation will be officially. announced
within few days. Washington lead
ers will not comment on the personnel
Of the English commission because OF
the fact that there has been no official
admission, but the president, Secretary
Hughes and others in close touch are
said to be well pleased over the selec-
tons, although regretting that Premier
Lloyd George has found it impossible
20 participate in the conference on ac-
count of the pressure of affairs at

ton.

National Conference Calls on the

WashingtOn.-After adopting pro.
gram of emergency measures in which
all who attempt to make profits 'be-
yond the requirements of safe business
practice or economic consistency" we're
condemned, and manufacturers, whole
Saler and retailer were called upon to
cut prices to level at which the pub
tic might feel justified in buying, the.
national conference on unemployment
voted to recess.
The Inauguration of the price-cut-
ting campaign was the feature of the
open session of the conference and
steps are now under consideration to
carry it into effect. The committee
on emergency measures by manufac-
turers, which recommended the meas
ures, will go into the retails of the
proposition by the time the conference
reassembles, and 1t is the hope that
very different downward trend in
prices may be brought about and help
to bring marked increase In industrial
activity by the winter months.
Second in importance was the an
nOuncement that, in the opinion of the
conference, the carrying out of the
purely emergency measures was a
community problem, and that the re-
sponsibillty was with the mayors OF
various cities. 1t is proposed that
emergency committees shall be organ
lied at once in all communities.
Secretary of Commerce Hoover, who
presided at the conference, explained
that the program announced included
only the emergency measures recon-
mended by committees and that all
other recommendations had been re-
turned ,for Incorporation in supple
mentafy report, which will cover per-
manent steps necessary to Industrial
reconstruction along lines which will
go to avoid serious unemployment in
the future The program was in the
form of compilation from commit
tee report made by the organization
committee.
One feature dealt with at some
length in the report was the necessity
for immediate resumption of the con-
struction industry. High prices and
malignant combinations" in some COM
munities had held back work, it was
stated, and ii was estimated that en-
pIoyment for at least 100000 would
be supplied If construction were re-
sumed. Governors of states were
asked, to summon representative COM
mittees to get at the facts and at
tempt to start the building activities.

power project was urged in a state
ment issued here by James A. Smith
OF st. Louis, a member of the commit
tee appointed by the Mississippi Valley
Association TO investigate possible uses
of the Muscle Shoals properties.
Declaring that he held no brief for
the Detroit manufacturer or any finaR-
cial interests in his plan for operating
the plant, Mr.. Smith asserted in his
statement that Mr.. Ford was entitled
to "a square DEAF from the govern.
ment and that "the fair-minded people
of the United States can be relied upon
to see that he gets it."

nitrate producing properties, Mr.. Smith
asserted in his statement that Mr..

can be relied upon to see that he gets
it."
Mr.. Ford's offer Of $4,000, 900 for the
properties, Mr.. Smiths statement de-
clared, seems extremely liberal when
the promised developments for good
of the country are taken into consider
alton" The manufacturers offer to
sell portion of the power to indus
trial users, the statement added, will
add largely to the development of abe
resources of that portion of the United
