PALACE NEXT WEEK
Cincinnati's Mayor Declares
"The Four HOrsemen"
Stirs Emotions as Deeply
-.
as Any Spoken Drama.

That Metros presentation of "The
Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse,
the Rex Ingram production adapted
for the screen by June Mathis, rivals
the greatest theatrical offerings of the
legitimate stage, was the opinion of
John Calvin, mayor of Cincinnati,
after twice viewing the picture in New
York.
1T is the greatest picture / have
ever seen," declared Mr.. Calvin. Its
dramatic power is something wonder
full and it affected me just as much
as though | were witnessing a spoken
performance. 1t stirs the emotions
and | am not ashamed to say that
parts of that picture brought lump
to my throat and tears to my eyes,"
Pictures like The Four Horsemen'
are the greatest kind of advertise
ment to show that the movies are cap
able of just as wonderful dramatic
effects as the speaking stage. hope
that it will soon be shown in Gin
cinnati so that our citizens may have
the pleasure of seeing what tremen-
dous things the big companies of the
motion picture industry are doing to
advance the standard of pictures"
"The Four Horsemen" will be pre-
sented at the Palace in the same elab-
crate manner as it was produced at
the Grand Opera House, Cincinnati,
during the past two weeks. Matinees
will be given each day during the
engagement.

Little Rock. Manufacturers
in this state have beaten wages down

In its report on wages and employ

LIVES RISKED
By Coal Miners While Own
ers Only Chance Money

Washington. -"The men who go
down into the bowels of the earth,
hazard their lives and endure the
hardships of the miner, pay as much
to make the coal industry what it is
as do the coal owners who sit in COM
Portable Offices and risk nothing but
money" said Philip Murray, vice
president of the United Mine Work
ers, testifying before the senate COM
mittee that. lis probing West Vir-
ginia mining conditions.
The unionist presented a program
that will safeguard the rights of all
parties in West Virginia and insure
peace in that industry. The plan in
cludes: Freedom of speech, assembly
and movement; the right of workers
to organize and bargain collectively
through representatives of their own
choosing; protection against discrimi-
nation because Of membership or of
| non membership iii the United Mine
Workers; assurance that these rights
will not be subordinated by coal own
ers employing private guards; assur-
ances that victimized union mine work
ers will be restored to their former
positions or to ones equally as good.
I'VE do not seek to control the
coal industry, but we do demand a
voice in its control" said Vice Pres
ident Murray, who called on the coal
| owners to present better plan.
In summing up the unions indict-
ment against the coal owners, the
unionist said the workers would show
that the coal owners are not merely
the miners employer; they are his
landlord, his merchant, the provider
of his amusements, the sanitary Off
Ger of his community, often the
source of his police protection and the
patron of his physician, his minister
and his school teacher.

HOLY COAL OWNERS
Fight Hard For the Lib
erty" of Their Employees?
Favor Uni0nism at All
Times, That is, "Of the
Right Kind

Charleston, w. Va-"The secret
of why the benevolent coal barons of
the Logan, Mingo and Mcdowell coal
fields fight unionism has been discov-
ered," says Editor Synder, of the
West Virginia Federationist.
'They are not opposed to unionism,
as such-that is, the right kind of
unionism.' They are willing to take
unionism to their manly bosoms, but
for one thing-it 'interferes with the
miners individual right to contract
while the coal masters are not ad-
verse to making a few pennies out
of the miners, occasionally, above
all-far above all-they seek to pre-
serve inviolate the great fundamental
liberties guaranteed by the constitu-
ton.
There is no danger to our civil
izaticn so long as this noble and pa
triotic body of men are willing to lay
down their lives-we almost said
their profits-for those glorious rights
for which our ancestors fought, bled
and some of whom died.
Here is how this gallant band of
devoted patriots fight for freedom.
No man, woman or child can get a
job or stay on a job they already
have, unless they use their individual
right to sign contract that says:
God helping me, | will not join the
United Mine Workers of America or
any other such union, so long as
oh, benevolent boss-thou permitteth
me to work in your mines And to
further protect these sacred individ-
ual rights of contract, the kind heart
ed coal owners provide private
standing army of deputies with high
powered rifles and machine guns to
guard against these sacred rights be-
ing entrenched upon.
''Of course, the miner gets no say
in any of these holy proceedings, but
it isn't necessary. Let him be content
with having his rights protected.
Let him be thankful that there are
such generous, whole-souled patriots
to look after his interests. 1t saves
the miner the trouble"

DEFEAT SKY SHOOTERS

San Jose, Cal.-The State Fedora

appoint a committee to investigate a
San Francisco seeding movement

This movement has the usual
mortgage on every alluring word,
name and phrase that resourceful sky
shooters can invent. The convention
refused to be swayed, however, many
delegates charging that this latest
world saver was playing into the
hands of anti-unionists, as usual.

didate for president, and he received

of the type of Gen. Wood and Mr.

Harding said he would like to appoint a
man of the type of Senator Wadsworth

These outlined in general terms their
ideas of the right kind of preparedness
They said they had served through the
war and expected to serve in another
war. that they had seen the results OF
unpreparedness and did not want to go
through with that again. The best
method of national preparedness, they
said. was universal military service.
Mr. Harding told them he wanted the
maximum defence for this country con-
sistent with the present antipathy of
the people toward universal training
and with the need of national economy.
He spokd8of his idea of volitional. per-
sonal service. and said he wanted to
bring about a condition in this country
where every red blooded young man
would feel he had not done his duty
until he had taken the course of mill
tary training in schools and colleges.
