Plan Demonstration in Area
of Industrial Strife; Report
ed Ousted From Camp.

Charleston, w. Va. Aug. 21.-Men
from the Paint Greek and Cabin
Creek coal fields along the kanawha
river assembled at Marmel. near here
Saturday, with the avowed intention,
it was reported to state authorities,
Of making a demonstration against
Mingo county where martial law has
been in force for several months. as
the outcome of an industrial contro-
versy of long standing.
1t was known, however. that late
in the afternoon a crowd of men esti-
mated at fully 600, had collected in a
hollow about a mile from the rail
road station at Marmel. Armed guards
patrolled the road leading to the rem
devious and strangers were excluded.
A correspondent who succeeded in pass
ing the guard and mingling with the
crowd said upon his return here that
he was quickly picked out and made
to state his busines. A few minutes
later he was approached by number
of meu who told him they were a
committee to inform him that his pre-
sence was not desired. and he was
advised, in courteous terms, to leave.
G. F. Keeney, president of District
II, United Mine Workers of America,
said that the men could march to
Mingo, about so miles as far as. he
was concerned and that he would not
interfere.

Shopmen Claim They Got 'tMore Than Their Share

are too many salaried officials and that
too large a proportion Of any gains
in wages soon goes to support this
hierarchy.
An important meeting Of the shop
men is scheduled for Monday in Chica-
20. The shopmen have their own
grievance in the matter Of labor union
policies and politics. They contend
or at least some of them do-that the
railroads have long made practice of
placating the big four"-the organi-
cations concerned with operation-and
thereby playing off these "aristocrats
of the rail- against the less strategic
ally placed shopmen. Whenever wages
are cut, the shopment say, they suffer
most; and they feel the same revision
of past policies that will bring about
greater solidarity among the railroad
unions is. essential; Playing off one
craft against another merely reveals
the inefficiency in the labor organiza
tions. they say, and where inefficiency
exists it should be corrected. The
Erie situation has brought this whole
question very much into the limelight.
All these conditions are to some de-
gree tending in the direction of indus
trial unionism, and for that reason the
fact is important that the Gruneau Or
ganizatons-the United Railway Work
ers, formed at the time Of the "out-
law strikes-is still in business and
apparently going strong. William z.
Foster. believed by many to be one Of
the ablest labor leaders in the United
States is said to be much interested in
this unions progress. In Philadelphia.
particularly, campaign in its Interest
is reported under way.
Expect No General Trouble.
1t is practically inconceivable that
the present railroad situation will lead
to any general disturbance of trans
portation conditions but if the heads of
the old line unions are unable to hold
their men in check there might be local
upheavals as there was at the time of
the OUTLAW" strikes. Should local
strikes develop. they would come at an
extremely inopportune time for the
welfare of the country as a whole, for
large scale, increased haulage Of coal
for winter use and the usual fall re-
sumption of business activity after the
summer quiet The OUTLAW strikes"
disarranged industrial and economic
conditions considerably, even though
the number of men who went out was
comparatively small, and recurrence
of these differences would unquestion-
ably prove very troublesome.
The railroad employees are also dis
satisfied with the attitude of the labor
members of the wage board, who have
done nothing more militant than to
present a strong minority report to the
announcement Of the new rulings.
When the labor members were ap-
preached it was expected that they
would resign as protest at anything
cordially disapproved by labor, but
they apparently do not contemplat"
any such action at this time.

New York, Aug. 21.-There
seems.to be a little hard feeling
over the choosing Of an official
language for the disarmament
conference. The French journal
lists, all of whom speak French flu
emily, think that nothing but
French should be used, and are
little hurt at the rumor that Eng
lish is to be the sole method of
expression.
Why wouldn't it be rather deli
cate mutual compliment, tending to
international amity, if the French
delegates were to speak English
and the English and American
delegates speak French? OF
course, the speeches and confer
ences would have to be more or
less elementary in form and sub
stance, dealing with nothing more
elaborate in vocabulary than the
names of some of the more popular
household animals, near relations
and simple edibles, but at that, it
might be a bad thing for q dis

talk reduced to easily understand
able terms.

an interpreter present in case Of

RECENT SLASH
Of RAIL BOARD
NOT FAIR, CLAIM
Union Members Aver
Leaders Fail to Show
Strength at Meetings.
Expect Curtail1nent of
Wartime Gains and
Certain Privileges.
BY RALPH BARTON,
Special Correspondent of The Tribune

Copyright, 1921, by The Tribune.)
Washington, Aug. 21.-Rail-
road employees despite the de-
cision on the shop mems over
time, expect the new rules of
the railroad labor board to be
unsatisfactory. They do not
like that decision, particularly
for reasons explained in the
minority report. Publication of
the rules piecemeal is under
stood to be the boards policy,
and the men interpret this as
an effort to soften the blow
inflicted upon them.
They anticipate not only curtailment
OF their war time gains but even the
loss of certain privileges which they
held long before the war. The piece
work is one problem over which they
are more concerned. and spokesmen
for the men say that the boards rul-
ings generally will not meet approval.
There are numerous eddies and
cross currents in the tide of AFFAIRS
so far as the railroad unions are con-
cerned. The men are to some degree
at least: evidently becoming dissatis-
fled with their leadership; there is a
feeling, played upon skillfully by pro-
ponents of the zone big union idea,
that the union heads are too far re-
moved from the rank and file and that
their policies are not sufficiently mil
liant.
"LegaIitls" Employed.
"Legalits' is an expression much in
vogue among the railroad men to in
dicate their opinion of the leaders at
titude. The heads Of the unions are
charged, by somewhat important op-
position in the ranks, with a desire to
exchange notes rather than to lead as
fighters in labor controversies. They
are so far out of contact with the
men, according to some of their op-
ponents, that it is rather difficult for
members of the rank and file to even
obtain conferences with them There
is also the complaint that the union
organization is top heavy; that there

Lone Bandit Robs
Bank at Kawkawlin;
Cashier Put in Vault

Bay City, Mich. Aug. 2i.-A
bandit held up the Farmers State
Savings bank at KaWkawIin, about
five miles north Of here, shortly
before closing time Saturday after
noon, locked the cashier and his as
sistant In the bank vault and es-
capped with S3,499.98 in cash and
$i3.750 in Liberty bonds.
The bandit, who is said to have
appeared in the bank on one pre-
vious occasion, asked for a dollars
worth of nIckeIs. As the cashier
turned to accom- modate him he
found himself facing two revoivers.
The. bandit made his way into the
cashiers cage, forced that official
to tie the hands of his assistant
and marched both of them into the
bank vault, where he put all avail
able cash and the Liberty bonds
in a suitcase. He then locked the
vault door, with the two bank en-
pioyes inside, and made his escape.
The robbery was not discovered
until nearly three hours later and
the cashier and his assistant were
nearly suffocated.

New York, Aug. 21.-A tomato, a
kiss and diamond earring-each of
these has been the cause and the me-
dunn this week for display of that
phenomenon known as woman nature.
Even the arrival and subsequent col
lapse of Suzanne Lenglen of the agile
knees or the pronouncement Of the de-

ample, that tomato.
It was thoroughly ripe and squashy
affair and when it landed kerplunk in
the bit of yard next door its advent
aroused black wrath in the heart of the
yards occupant and owner. There's
something awfully personal about a
bursted tomato spread around ones
doorstep. The thud had scarcely died
away before the spinster owner of the
yard started legal proceedings against
the woman whom she suspected of
tossing the vegetable into the yard.

MOTION PICTURE PRO-
DUCERS AND CENSORS
HOLD CONFERENCE

The most important conference
ever held in the moving picture world
will take place this month at Uni
versal City, California, when repre-
sentative film censors from all parts
of the United States and Canada will
meet and confer with film producers,
directors and executives in an at
tempt to solve the veXing censorship
problems of the moving picture in
dustry. The gathering was called
by Mr.. Carl Laemmle, president of
the Universal Film Manufacturing
company. The various delegates
from the State and municipal censors'
boards will be the guests of the Uni
versal Company during the entire
trip.
Besides being the first practical
step taken to bring censors and pro-
ducers together, SO censors may see
that the film men are not "knaves,
jackals and %purveyors of cheap
amusement, without principal or
honor" and the producers may see
that the censors are not "c~repe-hang-
ing reformers in blue glasses" the
conference will afford an opportunity
to try a unique experimenting cen-
soring of a moving picture as it is
made.
Universal now has an elaborate
production in the process of being
cut and edited. 1t is "Foolish Wiv-
es," a Won Stroheim picture of Con-
tinental intrigue and adventure. The
visiting censors will be given the OPP
portunity of viewing the integral
parts of the picture and passing upon
it scene by scene as it is put together.
1t is expected that in getting together
in the c%ensoring of this picture, the
various representatives will exchange
views and tend to arrive at a common
basis for censorship. Up until now,
the divergent views of the widely
separated censor boards have been
the worst feature of censorship.
