FUTURE IF FILMS
 SURE. SAYS STAR

Henry B. Walthan isn't worried about the future of films. This noted stage and screen star who comes to the Elks theater for four nights engagement starting Thurs day, has written The Republican that although he has abandoned motion pictures for year or so of stage endeavor, he expects to return to the coast this summer and make two new photoplays, from which he mod estly hopes to make fair return.
 In the meantime, he and Mrs. Wal thall (who is Mary Charleson by stage name) will continue their tour of the midwest and the east in their present vehicles.
 Walthall doesn't take seriously all the talk about slashing the incomes of film stars.
 "The stars of proven drawing pow er," he believes, will continue to en- joy incomes in proportion to their ability. Some of the so-called stars made rich over night, may suffer financial depression.

PLATOON SYSTEM
WEAKNESS SHOWN
DR.. Ballou Says in Many Cases
It Would Add to School
Congestion.

Stating emphatically that he is
not opposed to well-equipped
platoon system for the WASHINGTON
schools If Congress cares to ex-
pend the money, Superintendent F.
w. Ballou yesterday declared that
he will not favor 1t as an artiflce
to avoid further building or as an
excuse for additional congestion.
The superintendent's statement
came as a result of the report of
the United States Bureau of Edu-
cation made to Senator Capper on
the schools in the District. and
recommending the platoon idea
here.
The proposal is certainly en-
titled to consideration" said DR..

involved If We attempt to extend

Then, by having all the rooms
busy at once and by moving the
whole school of children to a diff
ferent department every hour ex-
cellent results can be expected.
The trouble is, the idea robbed

SENATOR WOULD
ABOLISH PRESENT
navy WAGE BOARD
France Favors Group of
Three to Settle Yard
Disputes.

A bill for the creation of an ad-
justment hoard. which would con-
stitute a wage board and a board
of appeals for the employees Of
navy yards and arsenals through
out the country, was introduced In
the Senate yesterday by Senator
France, of Maryland. The bill, IL
passed, would supersede the pres
ent navy wage board, which made
the award last month.
The proposed measure calls for
a board of three men, COMPOSED
of a representative Of the govern.
ment as an employer, the employees
and the public. The members
would serve without pay.
Wouh Hear Protests.
1t would have an effect somewhat
similar to the Railway Labor Board
in power, and would provide a
place where protests could be taken
for review and final adjudication.
Under the terms of the bill, the
new board would have the power
each January first to establish a.
Iair and reasonable wage and sal
airy schedule for all classes of navy
yard and arsenal employees. This
schedule would be effective for one
year. Hearings would be held about
the first October of each wear, ar
which opportunity would be given
representatives Of the employees TO
present their wage claims.
Atlas Favors Bill.
Nelson p. Alias. head Of the
local district of the International
Association of Machinists, declared
that the bill, II passed, will afford
the employees the chance to get a
larger measure of justice than was
evidenced under the recent Navy
Wage Board award.
The Navy Wage Board decision
provided that after six months an
increase of wages might be granted
should circumstances SO Justify
Should the France bill pass, this
ruling would probably be of no
avail. as the new measure calls for
a wage decision on the first OF
each year. the pay scales for the
year to result from the informa-
tion presented at meetings to be
held each October. The machinists
expressed the hope. however, that
the wage determination factors
enumerated in the France bill
might be considered in a possible
wage regulation which would take
place, under the previous ruling,
on March is. 1922.
