ADJUSTMENTS
BREAKS ALL RECORDS
AT PAPLACE AIRDOME


Proving an artistic treat, The
Woman God Changed, a Cosmopoli-
tan production for Paramount, was
shown to two audiences at the Palace
Airdome last night, which packed the
lot at both performances. There have
been large crowds both at the Palace
theater and the airdome before but
last nights attendance broke all local
records for picture show and the in
dications are that tonight's show Will
duplicate these crowds.
Thrilling from start to finish, the
picture gave one no opportunity to
sleep at the switch, even had one been
so inclined The story deals with d
dancing girl who flees to Tahiti to
escape arrest for an alleged murder
and of her subsequent adventures,
and The action leaves nothing to be
desired in the way of arousing inter-
est and enthusiasm. Seena Owen Is
the girl and Z. X. Lincoln, the detec-
tive who runs her down. only to fall
in love with her during their three
years exile on a South Sea island. The
picture directed by Robert Nignola is
one of the best seen here in many
day.
''The Woman God Changed" will be
shown positively for the last time to-
night and it is advisable to go early
in order to secure even standing room.

ILL. A. F. |,
NOT MIXING
IN RAIL ROW
President Walker Says
Roads Can Take Rate
Cut, However.

Aurora, Ill, Oct. 1.-THE Illi-
nois State Fed Grafton of Labor,
which opened it's 39th annual con-
vention here today, will take no Of
ficial action or the railroad strike
which has been called for October
so, as the railroad brothcrhoods
are not affiliated with the state
federation. John H. Walker, pres
ident of the federation said.
Mr. Walker said, however, that
the attitude of the convention as
disclosed by utterances of delegates
is that the railroads can afford to
make a so per cent cut in all rates
without touching wages, based
upon the decreases in the cost of
materials and the decrease in pay
already taken by the railroad work
ers.
Strike Is Only Weapon.
Personally" Mr. Walker said,
81 see no way out of the situation
except a strike if the wages are
cut further The men have gone
as far as they can, they have taken
a cut in pay but there has been no
! cut in freight rates"
! The railway companies during
/ the war made 100 per cent increase,
no: only in freight rates, but in its
entire operation of the road, as
/ we'll as in their income. In the
same period the railway men got
81 per cent increase in wages,
Since then the men have received
IL per cent reduction in wages,
which leaves them 35 per cent
above the pre-war scale.
No Wage Cut Needed.
'FThe cost Of material now is not
over 35 per cent above pre-war
prices, which, according to actual
figures gives the roads 60 per cent
increase in operating cost and in
way of revenue, above what in
creased cost in operation really
was. My opinion is that if the
roads would reduce freight. pas
, seEger and pullman rates so PEI
cent, that the industries of the
country would get the relief needed
and that no reduction in wages OF
working men in the railroad indus
try are necessary, that reductions
are wrong, and will react injurious

i further reduction in buying power
would seriously decrease what

"Open Shoppers" and Labor.
Mr. Walker said the open shoI
agitation has not died but that a!
far as destroying union labor, the
Illinois Federation membership i.
now at the highest mark in history
Some men on the other side,
he said, ARE so unfair, so selfish
and SO mercenary, that wheI
/, thoroughly convinced that wha
they are trying to do is wrong the,
? continue to persist in it if it means
| personal gain to them. That ele
ment is still agitating the opel
shop, but the decent element i
disgusted with Ii, and many o
, them are openly opposing it
may say that the net effect of tn
; open shop campaign has been to in
crease the Federation of Labo
membership and that it is now a
the highest peak. l am not thank
ing the open shoppers, however
even if they did have that effect.
Mr.. Walker said that organiza
ton of workers was more import

LLOYD GEORGE
CHANGES MIND
ON ARMS MEET
Interesting 4 nsi d e
Story Is Disclosed
by Writer.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.
Copyright, 1920
The Argus.)

Washington. Oct 17.-Prime
Minister Lloyd George has changed
his mind and will come to the ar
mament conference.
Behind that terse announcement
from London lies an interesting
story which is just coming to the
surface. 1t will be recalled that
catlegrams from Europe indicated
a few weeks ago that the British
prime minister felt ne would be
too busy to come to America. The
American ambassador at London
heard the same and reported it to
the Washington government. The
chagrin and disappointment of
President Harding over that piece
of news was not concealed. Did
the British prime minister realize
what was going TO happen at the
Washington conference? Did he
know that America was hoping for
practical progress and that very
little speed could be made if a
delegation had to cable home every
few hours for instructions?
Wanted Personal Contact.
Whether anything was said in
formally to the British governmen
bout it cannot of course be dis
closed but it was not long before
the British learned of the effect
which had been produced by the
announcement that Lloyd George
! was not coming. A president CT the
! United States had broken "a prece-
dent to visit Europe in the interest
| of more expeditions negotiation
and it was felt here that a British
prime minister might return the
, courtesy. From the standpoint of
| friendly relations nothing could
| be more helpful than personal con-
! tact between the head of the Brit
! ish government and our own
! executives. This viewpoint was
! convincing and the British prime
minister is coming at last
| Not "Abstract Affair.""
/ Just how long Mr.. Lloyd George
will stay is uncertain, but within
| the last fortnight enough has de-
! veloped on the inside OF the whole
; business to show the British
{ prime minister that if he had any
! idea the Washington conference
! was to be an abstract affair, mar
rowed down merely to far eastern
! questions and naval armament he
! is grossly mistaken. 1t now de
| veiops that collateral issues art
expected to be taken up which may
eventually transcend in importance
the original objects of the confer
. ence This is not saying that th'
far eastern problems or armamen
