Organized labor is ready to consider
any invitation from the government
to participate in a conference with
view of solving the unemployment
situation, Samuel Gompers. presi-
dent Of the American Federation OF
Labor, announced at the closing ses-
sion OF the federation's executive
council.
"Such a council" he declared, 'is
not to be opposed, when the work
ers of the country are suffering from
unemployment and there is no work
in sight"
Mr.. Gompers declined to state
what cooperation organized labor
would give such a conference, but
indicated that it would have the fed
eration's full support.
He said the Council discussed tht
proposed conference and adopted z
motion instructing him to notify the
Council members II an invitation wai
received from the government to par

Council will then take action accord

While the unemployment confer

some opposition to representatives of
the federation participating in any
such meeting. One member declared
that such a conference would gain
nothing for organized labor. which
he added is charged with being re-
sponsible for the unemployment be-
cause OF its refusal to Submit meek

The council in any event. it was
stated, will press its program calling
upon the federal and state govern

more beautiful
In keeping with the occasion. the
management after considerable de-
liberation finally made arrangement
for the showing OF The Old Nest
as the reopening feature attraction.
The assertion can ne made without
the least hesitation that THE Old
Nest" is the most human document
that has yet been shown on the
screen. Such an opinion is based
not only on reiew OF the picture
but also on the unanimous opinion
of all the big editors of New York
and the other cities where "The Old
Nest" has been shown.
Rupert Hughes wrote the picture
for the screen from his own original
story for the Saturday Evening Post.
This great American has taken for
his setting the American home No
author can paint with his ease the
plain. ordinary folk Of today and
the almost humdrum life. With the
magic of his pen he has torn aside
the curtain on the soul Of the Amer
ican freside No one will say THE
Old Nest is spectacular or gorgeous,
but what they will say is that never
have they viewed a picture that so
penetrated the mind and the heart.
It's greatness lies in its simplicity.
