WALSH DENOUNCES SECRET LAW MAKING
 ON SENATE FLOOR
Massachusetts Senator Declares Pres ent Methods Destroy Free
 Government.

Washington, Dec. 3-Secret laW-rnak- ing by the conference system was de- nOunced in the senate by MT. Walsh ot Massachusetts, who said this method de stroys representative government, and makes 1t impossible for the people to hold their representatives responsible. It is a form of autocracy, and has all the evils of secret diplomacy" he said.
 This system operates when the two branches of congress disagree on legls- where three or five representatives from each branch meet i'll secret and adjust differences. There is no record of these proceedings. The bill Is often re-Wrlt- ten or filled with "jokers' that cannot be stricken out by either the house or sen ate as the cOnferees' report IS not subject to amendment but must be accepted or rejected as a whole.
 The Cummins-Esch railroad act is an illustration of the workings of this sys- tenn. When the Esch bill, passed by the house, and the Cunmins bill, passed by the senate, came out of conference the new bill nullifed the discussions and roll calls in both senate and house.
 Forty-eight hours after the house, re Ceived the conference report 1t was called upon to accept it. Congressman Sanders of Louisiana, voted against 1t for the reason, he said, that there was not a member of the house, excepting possibly the conferees, who understood the bill He said 1t was a physical impossib1l1ty for man to thoroughly acquaint himself with this bulky piece of legislation in the short time allotted him.

NEW INCOME BILL ALREADY IN BAD
 AT WASHINGTON
Even Those Who Passed It Cannot Now Be Heard in
 Defense

Washington, Dec. 2.-Congress has passed the new revenue bill but no one can be found to defend it. When 1t pass ed the senate 1t was kicked around the chamber, even some of its authors has tening to disavOW- paternity for the act. It is now explained that the bill IS "tem- pOrary legislation" and the matter must be given comprehensive study" by the next congress.
 Comprehensive study" has a soothing sound and will be used to good effect in the congressional primaries next summer. The plan to create a commission to probe the question will be another good alibi most of the bricks aimed at the bill come from labor and the farmers because of the elimination of excess profits The large number of citizens who have in comes ranging around $1O,0OO are also grumbling because their sur-taxes are not reduced in the same proportion as in comes of $OOOO and more
 Big business Is the only element that has not joined the brick-throwing bri- gade. Big business has received its plum abolition of the excess profits tax, which amounted to approximately $85O,- 100000 last year and will amount to ap- proxmately half that sum this year. This indicates the tidy sum big business will put on the credit side sof the ledger next year. Therefore, it has not poined the protestors, but like Uncle Eben's possum it is "jes layin' low"
 The entire tax question will undOubt- edly be reOpened at the next session of congress and advocates of the sales tax will more strongly insist that their con- sumption-tax be adopted

THE BIJOU

Two of the biggest screen favorltes that ever played the Bijou come on the same program Sunday night when Tom Mix appears in his new and or ginal picture play, "The Rough Dia- mond," and Eddie Polo in Cyclone Smiths Vow"
 As a veteran of five wars before entering motion pictures Tom Mix long ago learned the art of climbing walls without ladders---as it is taught to soldiers, but in all his years of mo ton picture work he never has been called upon to use this skill-which particularly stod him in good stead during the Boxer rebellion in China, until recently when making this new production, The Rough Diamond"
 This time he goes across seas into the broil of political revolution in a Latin epublic-just because the eyes of the most beautiful girl in the world beckoned and he finds nothing as in surmountable obstacle in his path as he makes his dashing and daring campaign. If you think Mix has ex- hausted his stunts in previous pictures, just get look at him in "The Rough Diamond" and note the bag of tricks he uncovers.
 Eddie Polo is on par with Mix in daring stunts and in presenting "Cy- clone Smiths Vow" Polo has depart ed from the serial idea and furnishes each Sunday night. complete two reel story damned with as much action as he used to put in an entire serial.
 The same program Sunday night Pathe News and there Is a pippin of vaudeville bill on the cards for Mon day, Tuesday and Wednesday.
 Heading the vaudeville will be Frank Stafford with Marie Stone and Company including Chief White Wing in Rip Van Wrinkles Dream" in three scenes in which Stafford's inimitable whistling and his famous dogs are sure to be central figures.
 Incidentally the Stafford offering goes into the Palace, New York, next week at four figure salary.
 The associate headliner will be Henry's Melody Sextette and be it known that Jack Henry who produces it, was formerly featured with Rolfe's Revue and now a producer on his own. There are six girls in the offer ing, each a talented musician, and they include Esther Wexler, Irene Karau, Ruth Hemmerle, Alieen Wilt rout, Rose Wexler and Josephine Hoviand
 Barton and Sparling, two clever comedians, offer an act that has proven riotous hit everywhere and Ali Grant, another favorite, returns with a new line of chatter and songs. Russell and Hayes in Let's Sing" open the bill and guarantee to furnish a big surprise before their offering is ended.
 For the last half of the week Else and Paulson, supreme artists of the ice and originators of the Apache dance on skates, will be the headline attraction with Henriette Wilson assisting.

ened to assign much work heretofore restricted to them to their helpers or men of other crafts where needs Ot the road require 1t.
 A new class of apprentices known as Special apprentices" composed o1 youths from IS to 26 years old who have had technical school training IS established
 In the old agreement restrictions applied in each of the above rules, and in many others, that the ra1l- roads claimed imposed unnecessary burdens, financial and otherwise up on them. Under the new rules the transfer of men from one class ot work to another is permitted with far greater freedom.
 One hundred and fortyeight new rules were promulgated by the board They became effective yesterday. Ih1s decision completes the work of the board with regard to working rules and paves the way for immediate consideration of matters affecting the wages of railroad employees. The de cision was by unanimous vote of the members of the board.
 Unions affected by the decision are the six shop crafts organizatlons-the carmen, sheet metal workers, ma chinists, blacksmiths, boiler makers and electricians. The so-called Big Four" brotherhoods, the telegraph CTS, and the maintenance of way employees are not concerned with the present rules but operate under a separate code.
 The shop crafts unions have con tended ever <since the question oi working rules and wages became ar issue in railway circles, that the question of rules was more important than the matter of wages. Upor their acceptance or rejection of the new code hinges the question ot peace in railway labor circles, A new crisis as acute as the general strike which threatened October 30 last may result should the shop crafts union: rniect the new agreement

AUSTRALIA UNIONS
 ROUT UPPER HOUSE

Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. Dec. 2-The Queensland labor government is carrying out it's pledge to abolish the leg islative council, or upper house and the assembly has passed bill to this end as the first step The Queensland high court has sustained the validity of this legislation.
 The New South Wales labor govern ment is also pledged to abolish the upper house of that state, but as yet has failed to make its pledge effective.
 Opponents of the second house insist that occasions for constitutional conflict are increased and the unity and vigor nec- essary for national action are diminished because of the second house. From a practical standpoint, opposition to the second house centers on the fact that it is the stronghold for reaction, and that its veto power over the lover house nulli- hes the utility of democratic suffrage.

LABOR TO FIGHT
 RAILROAD RATES


 Chicago, Dec. 2-The strategy of the A. F of L. railway employees department is to not only fight wage cuts but to start a counter move for higher rates.

He suggests that when rail- road arrangements ask for wage re duction conference, an immediate an swer should follow asking the rail road to submit by letter, asd in de tail, it's proposal System federations should insist on 30 days intervening before the conference, when the sys- tem's wage increase shall be present ed and then, on failure to agree, a de mand should be made that the matter go up to the railroad labor board,

Shall Chaos Prevail
 In Printing Industry?
GOmpers and Morrison Urge Organized La bOr to Act Against Contract Breaking Employers.

Washington, Dec 2-Let organized labor everywhere tell the story of con- tract breaking by employing printers, who have forced a nationwide strike of employees in this industry, recommends the A. F. of L. executive council III a statement signed by President Gompers and Secretary Morrison.
 Trade unioniSts are urged to form committees to acquaint the public with the treachery of these business men who would establish chaos and broken prom ises for the pledged word between men. The statement is as follows:
 To All Organized Labor:
 "The printing trades unions have been forced into a struggle not of their own making. After the employing printers of the country had made a solemn con- tract to inaugurate the 44-hour week on May 1, 1921, they began an lnSldlous campaign to break it. They demanded reduction in wages the establishment ot the so-oalled open shop, and used every other method to force the printing trades in the book and job offices to cease work before May l, 1921. This was part ot the Hostile campaign of various interests to destroy all the printing trades unions. When May 1 arrived the employers ab- solutely refused to grant the 44-hour
 
 trades unions were compelled to cease work. They were locked out by the con- tract-breakerS
 Every state and city central body, and all local unions, should come to the sup port of the printing trades III practical way. They should resent III most em- phatic manner the violation by the em- ploying printers of the contract to estab- fish the 44-hour week. This can be done by urging all sympathizers of labor, and those who are opposed to the action ot the employing printers in breaking their contract, to require the allied printing trades union label upon all matter printed for them.
 "Committees should be appointed to wait upon the fair-1ninded business men and acquaint them with the injustice done the printers As much publicity as pos sble should be given the campaign.
 It should be pointed out that Ii the co1tract-breaking employers are success full 1t will place a premium on contract breaking. The trade union movement believes in the maintenance of contracts. It has no patience with those who break them The, union label will therefore be the most effective weapon that can be against those who have paralyzed the printing industry for purposes of greed and to establish autocratlc methods Ot , treating the workers.
 This is a matter of great moment. Every union man i'll America should aid the printers Victory for the printers will establish the fact that contract breaking is disreputable act and should receive the odiun it deserves

BUILDING PRICES
 UP, WAGES DOWN

New York, Dec "A commercial press service, published in this city, warns business men to "get into the market" that they may profit by present prices for building material
 With the approach of winter, it is stated, there is likely to be a turn-up in the price of crushed stone, gravel, sand and grit All lumber is sure to continue to advance, it is stated. Maple flooring has already jumped $5 and $Io per 1000 feet, and stronger prices for glass are looked for.
 Cement has dropped 10 cents a barrel, or about three cents a sack, but 1t is stated that "the shrewd GUS toner will not permit himself to be led into the expectation that cement prices will long hover at present or even lower levels"
