CHICAGO CONTRACTORS
DECLARE FOR OPEN SHOP
IN BUILDING TRADES
(By the Federated Press

Chicago-The declaration of the
"open shop" policy on the part of the
building trades employers of Chicago,
as the result of the refusal of the car
penters' union to accept the Judge
Lands wage award is expected to pre-
cipitate serious trouble within the
next few weeks.
The carpenters claim that the plac-
ing of non-union men on jobs will
force the other trades, which are in
the Lands agreement. to lay down
their tools. Otherwise, ii lis said.
they will be "scabbing" on their broth
err workmen.
The development of this phase of
the situation is said to have further
increased the bitterness of the rank
and file of the workers against the
leaders who bound them up in the
Lands arbitration proceedings. Pres
ident Kearney of the Building Trades
Council has made the significant
statement that he is mot now in po-
sition to make any statement regard
ing the situation"

Until recently, Miss Laura Pierpont
Together they have given vaudeville
series of exceptional one-act plays

Usually they were of the Drury Lane
melodrama type, in miniature. Now
Miss Pierpont is going it on her own
that Is. she has become star in her
own right: right that is a just right
because time and time again she has
demonstrated herself an unusual
artist.
When II was decided that Miss Pier
pont was to star individually, every
effort was exercised to give her the
very best of everything. Edgar Allan
Woolf was commissioned to write the
play. Mr.. Granville engaged her sup
porting company and staged the play
for her. The result is that In The
Guiding Star, In which she is to ap-
pear at the Orpheum Thursday, Fri
day and Saturday of this week, Miss
Pierpont becomes a fixed star The
play is unusual II affords Miss Pier

Miss Pierpont rises serene, giving a
careful and artistic portrayal.
The real novelty sensation of the
1921.22 vaudeville season has been
"Tarzan." Books have been written
on Tarzan, film stories tell of his life
in the jungles, but ii remained for
vaudeville to bring him before the
public In real life. Tarzan will arouse
more speculation than a whole city of
Wall streets. The origin of man is
still more or less scientifically in
doubt. The Tarzan specie is a de.
cided doubt. There is, however, no
doubt about the superfine quality of
amusement he affords. nor of the SEN
sation he created in every city of the
Orpheum circuit he has visited.
Other pleasing features for the last
half OF the week include Knapp &

FINE COOPERATION OF
FELLOW WORKERS WILL
KEEP MINERS INDEFINITELY
BY CARROLL BINDER

Federated Press Staff correspondent.
Hosiclaire, Ill.-On strike a year
and prepared TO stay ogt another year
IL necessary. How can 907 huor spar
miners insist SO vail .ntlyg A few
days in their midst and you VIII find
the answer. Primarily by their con-
victions of the righteousness OF their
cause and the impossibility OF work
ing under the old non-union eondi-
tons. StiffenIng this morale Is the
support given the strikers by their
relatives and friends IN the farms OF
Hardin county and the generous con-
tributions OF organized labor In other
seetions-notsbly the coal miners OF
Southern Illinois.
The FIRST impression of the visitor
In Hardin county IL that the citizens
not interested on either side are Ill
disposed toward the strikers. The
hotel keepers, the merchants, the pro-
fessional people and the travelling
statesmen one meets denounce scath-
ingly the strike and its leaders.
Chats with farmers who do not work
In the mines (they constitute no less
than IS per cent of the population of
Hardin county, and with business peo-
pie who do not distrust you, convince
beyond doubt that sentiment of the
people at large Is overwhelmingly in
favor OF the strikers.
The farmers have opened their
homes TO strikers evicted from COM
pany houses or unable to live In the
towns on the meager strike benefits.
Many of them are. of course. relatives.
but there Is much hospitality for
strikers without relatives In the coun-
try. Attempts to serve warrants on
strikers are not always successful be-
cause the strikers move about the
country. They have their own method
OF communication which permits
message to get to the proper party in
surprisingly short time despite the abb
sence OF telephones.
Financial support comes from locals
of the United Mine Workers. central
labor bodies and many crafts not con.
nected with the mines. Between No
vember Is and August rs the miners
gave $4,000 for relief. Incidentally,
the strikers are affiliated with the In
ternational Union Mine. Mil and
Smelter Workers. not the United Nine
Workers OF America.
About 1000 cash has been contrib.
uted, according to Organizer Inman.
In addition there have been many do
nations OF food and clothing. Illinois
unions are at present collecting
clothes for the workers.

The Arkansas Razorbacks and the

worth more than the price of admis

most.
Two other colleges will stage a foot
