what a perfect actress for the role

bra, the abandoned Italian wife, Just
the right one to portray the fellcitous

turess. Sorrentina, heart broken, fol
lows him, and after struggling with
poverty herself wins fame and riches
through her marionettes. Then her
husbands luck slowly turns. The De-
nouement transpires in a courtroom

piness of both.
The supporting cast includes Fran
els Mcdonald, Jackie Saunders, Fred
Kelsey, Thomas Rickertts and Edward
Kennedy. Dallas M. Fitzgerald di-
rected the production. John Arnold
and Sidney Ullman are respectivelg

LABOR AND BUILDING REVIVAL
The Public Demands Lower Wages as
Well as Materials

James Taorne in Builders Journal. 80.
The optimistic reports that reach
us from all over the country are most
encouraging for the future Of the
building industry. Let US hope that
this spirit of optimism as visualized
by the prophets is not overdrawn, and
that realization of a great building
boom will soon be in evidence.
Large manufacturing concerns
and producers of building materials
add to this optimistic view by telling
!us that taeir warehouses, stocked to
the very limit of their holding cap
acity year ago, are empty today
and that orders cQmnig into their
offices are for the first time in many
months requiring them to work their
organizations on a 100 per cent ba-
sis. Then too, materials are down to
what we feel is a stable price basis;
money seems to be more available for
building purposes and everyone is
looking forward, with great hopes.
In various SECTIONS Of the country
Own Your Own Home campaigns have
been Instituted with view to stimu-
lating building and to reducing rents.
This is a capital idea and is worthy of
| the support of any community that
has civic welfare of it's people at
heart. In every locality where such
campaign has been started much en-
thusiasm has been evidenced by pub
lie spirited citizens, wholly aside from
those directly interested in the build
ingsindustry. In one city every bust
ness and civic organization was back
of the project, as we'll as the Director
of Public Safety. The campaign
started with great enthusiasm; can
vass of the city by the 6remen to
ascertain how many homes in the
city were housing two families or
more proved conditions to be worse
than had been expected. These facts
were published and the attention of
the public was called to the actual
conditions that existed in its midst.
The reason for high rents was easily
I seen; it was solely the working of the
law of supply and demand. A big
publicity campaign was launched.
Mortgage and loan companies became
interested; the banks offered to CO.

week and The members of the eXecu-
tive committee of the associations
have also been asked to see that their
respective congressional districts are
we'll represented.
DR.. Long has requested the agents
of the extension force to attend the
meeting and to bring as many inter-
ested farmers as they can.
President Hammer and the organi-
Zation committee of the cooperative
marketing association will also en-
deavor to see that each county is we'll
represented al the meeting. 1t is the
hope of the joint agencies that the
meeting will be one of most repre-
sentative farmers gatherings ever
held in the state.
"Mr. Williams is coming long
distance to be with u.s. said Mr..
Hammer last night, "and | wish ev-
cry farmer in South Carolina could
arrange to hear him speak on, to my
mind, the most important subject af-
fecting the farmer today. He has a
message that is we'll worth hearing.
He has made very close study of CO.
operative marketing and is in position
to give US first-hand information on
it. He can tell Us how Oklahoma has
met some of the problems confronting
US and solved them. The meeting will
be open to every farmer in the state
and I trust that Craven hall will be
packed when Mr.. Williams arises to
speak. No farmer who hears him
will regret it,

son.
Col. T. l.. Fitzpatrick, close friend
of Governor Cooper and president Of
the Charlotte chamber of commerce,
will introduce the chief executive of
the Palmetto state. It originally was
planned to have the governors of both
the Carolinas to speak on opening
day, but it later was decided to
change the plan to allow longer speak
ing tune for each official. Governor
Cooper is expected to speak on the
subject: "The Human Element in
Industry" subject to which he has
recently given much study.
Carrying still further the idea of

Ovens, chairman, is working out plans
for education day, when. DR.. P. P.
Claxon, former federal commissioner
of education, and DR.. D. B. Johnson,

mans club day and possibly several
other days Of special interest,
Announcement is expected to be
forthcoming within few days that
the railroads of the southeastern
states will allow special rate of one

sured, it was announced, as result
of the spirit of cooperation and in

Columbia, Sept. 5.-Carl Williams
of Oklahoma City, president of the
American Cotton Growers exchange,

farmers to be held in Craven hall, this
city, Friday, September 9 at ~
o'clock noon. The meeting has been
called by H. G. Hammer, president
of the South Carolina Cotton Growers
Cooperative association, the organi-
zation which is being formed in this
state for the cooperative marketing g
Of cotton.
Mr.. Williams is considered one Of
the foremost experts on cooperative
marketing of cotton in the United
States. He is the president of the
American Cotton Growers exchange,
the overhead organization of the four
statewide cooperative marketing or
CARNATIONS that have already been
formed. He was one of the leaders
in the organization of the Oklahoma
Cotton Growers Cooperative associa-
tion, the first one of the organizations
to reach its quota. He is editor of

sion of the American Cotton associa-
ton, which is sponsoring the o1gani-
zation, and W. W. Long, director of

terials or commodities, appeals to
stimulate building will fall on deaf
ears.
Labor makes the one plea that it
should not be asked to take cut of
wages because rents are high and
unreasonable. Rents are prohibitive
in some instances, but how are they
to be reduced if labor is not willing
to get busy and produce at wage
that is commensurate with present
day living conditions? In some in
stances labor has demanded an in
crease over the 1920 Wage scale, in
spite of the fact that living has drop
ped almost 27 per cent since 1919, as
shown by the official government sta
tistics. If the present-day wage scale
were to be continued without adding
one cent, it would be the same as
giving to labor the largest increase
ever granted at any one time, owing
to the decrease in the costs of living
Building at this time Of the year
should be in a healthy, normal con-
dition; in fact right now it should
be far above the normal condition
because fer the past years it has
been in Rip Van Wrinkle slunr5er.
What are the real conditions? TAX
ing 1914 as a fair year and basing
the healthy condition of building at
100 per cent, at the present time a
very liberal figure would be .55 per
cent over the entire country, when
it should be $50 per cent to meet the
requirements and actual needs. By
this the writer does not mean to infer
that no building is being contemplate
ed; far be it from such, for after
having just completed an extended
tour covering several states he can
truthfully say there is more work on
architects drafting boards today than
was completed from 1917 to the pres
ent date; in fact in Chicago and Kan
sas City alone it is estimated that
more than $35Q,000,000 worth of
work is ready to- go forward, and is
being held up for no other reason
than necessity Of labor adjustments.
On May 1 most Of the labor agree
ments throughout the country ex-
pired and since then there have been
varied delays and shutdowns. if
labor plays fair, and shows its will
ingness to cooperate by accepting a
wage that is fair and in proportion to
living conditions, we may then look
forward with az: spirit of optimism,
and feel reasonably assured that we
are going to experience prosperity in

operate; thousands of dollars were
spent in advertising, in fact no means
of securing the pubhc's interest was
overlooked.
In another community similar
effort was launched, but upon diff
Iferent plan. A group of men, realiz-
ing the extreme shortage Of homes
in their city and having a keen sense
Of civic pride, financed Own Your
Home club, So with this in view a
large tract of land was purchased
and moderate cost homes were to be
erected that could be sold for mini
mum price with q vefy small profit.
One man gave his time and developed
the tract and made plans for the
homes to be erected, there being 5
different types of houses that would
have made a pretty colony when COM
pleted. The plan was to sell these
houses to anybody on a small down
payment, and a monthly payment
commensurate with the salary he was
earning; the only other provision
made was that he was to take out a
life insurance policy made out to the
president of the Own Your Home
club, covering the amount of the in
vestment, so that in case of death the
mortgage could be paid off and the
deed turned over to the next nearest
of kin along with the balance of the
insurance money.
Both Of these schemes seemed to
be admirable and would have been
successful and wonderful assets to
their communities had they worked
out as the men back Of them had in
tended they should, but alas-they
failed miserably in their efforts. Why
did they fail? Because labor failed
to do it's part and meet the issue as
it should. This is the vital factor
that stands in the way of new era
of building prosperity and is him
drance that many overlook.
The manufacturer may ,be produc-
ing on 100 per cent basis; the job
Der can jam and cram his shelves to
the roof. the material man may shout
from the house tops that materials
have reached rock bottom prices;
On Your Home campaigns may be
launched by the score, but until Labor
recognizes the fact that it too must
stand IS share of this price revision
wave that is now sweeping over the
country, and that the public IS not
going to continue to pay postwar
prices for labor, any more than it is
going to pay postwar prices for ma
