RAILROAD SHOPMEN
(Continued from First Page.)

(AOnllIlued IIOlu TISl dSc.J road officials have expressed their at titude on them, the men were a unit in agreeing that the terms offered by the road are impossible under present conditions. They would entirely up set the system routine and home life of the workmen and were therefore protested. It is expected that the substitute offered by the men will re- ceive consideration and an agreement made whereby the friendly relations existing will be continued
 The wage reduction question is still pending so far as the carmen are con cerned, although yesterday it was an nounced by the road officials, that the wage negotiations had been broken off on all lines. in lines with the re- cent order of the railroad wage board. Committees of the men and Manager Bardo have been in conference for some weeks past but no agreement could be reached so the matter is now said to be in effect that the road will insist in putting the cuts into effect on July I.

THE PALACE.

Realizing that it would require a veritable dramatic thunderbolt to sur pass her great triumph in "Outside the Law" the producers in presenting Priscilla Dean in "Reputation" de- voted time and energy and gave every effort in producing a picture that for pure dramatic force and power would literally sweep audiences before 1t. Such a picture has been made in "Reputation," which will be the great and important screen attraction at the Palace on Sunday evening, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
 "Reputation' is really story of women against women It depicts the mother who has violated social code and sunk to moral depths in inverse ratio 10 her rise to fame and popu larity. The daughter, on the other hand, has been raised in county asylum, blooms like a violet in swamp, and grows up to pure and charming young Womanhood. The mother has forgotten the daughters existence, while the child never has even known her mothers identity. Fate brings the two together in one tremendous dramatic climax and 1t is at this point that Priscilla Dean at talns one of the highest points in the art of characterization ever seen on picture screen or speaking stage.
 The Palace Sunday evening pro- gram in addition to Priscilla Dean in "Reputation" will present as a special added feature for that evening only Dustin Farnum in 'The Great Happi- nes3" picture that offers a com the finest audience The Selznick News Weekly and the interesting kineogram will be shown. Special music by the Palace orchestra with special attention to the requirements of Reputation" will also be a feature ot the program.
 Theatre goers, and particularly those patrons of the Hyperion will be more than delighted over the ap- pearance of Ninita Bristow on the vaudeville section of the bill. Miss Bristow, highly favored by the public last season owing to her artistic eff forts as leading woman of the Hyper ion Players, makes her appearance in company with Joseph E; Bernard in the comedy playlet ''Who Is She?" Mack, author of Kick h." Tiger Rose," "The Big Chance" and other successful stage plays "Who Is She?" is delightfully."- treated in the typical Willard Mack manner and when in the hands of Miss Bristow and MT. Bernard it becomes a really tlne I5 minute comedy treat.
 Busical Bits, highly novel idea of presenting the best in songs and dances of the moment, clever boys and pretty girls being the mediums employed for this purpose, is another Palace feature that is going to ring true with vaudeville followers. Lii Han Bernard, the prima donna of syn copation; Stanley and Coffrey, two getting along boys and fine comedy team, and the Turner Brothers who are whirlwinds when it comes to de- livering acrobatic dancing, are others selected to please Palace audiences during the first three days of the week

NON-UNION SHIP
 RETURNS TO PORT

New York, June 3.-After covering 300 miles of her voyage to South America, the big Munson liner, Huron, was forced to return to thls city with 14o passengers. Because of the marine engineers-seam strike, the ship was manned by strikebreak- CTS and the captain feared to risk pas sengers and cargo.
 The Huron's return is proof, trade unionists declare, that strikebreakers are not competent to hold licenses ls- sued to them by the government. Only recently the steamer Pocahontas cleared from Boston, but was lowed back to port by a revenue cutter. Ship owners are giving little public ity to these incidents, which endang- CT life and property.
 The strike was caused by refusal to accept wage reductions and low ering of working conditions that would destroy the seamen's act.

ENGINEERS NOT TO JOIN A. F. OF L.
Street Garments Opposition Keeps Railroad Organization Out
 of Ranks

The delegates to the American Fedora tion of Labor convention will learn with regret that the Brotherhood of Locomo- tive Engineers will not affiliate This failure of the engineers follows futile attempts to get together with the national street carmen's organization The latter denied the right of the engineers to take over certain classes of employees, espec- tally in the Eastern country.
 Three years ago the railroad mems or ganization voted to affiliate with the American Federation of Labor providing it could be done on suitable terms The only antagonism came from the street carmen. Committees from the engineers, carmen and the A. F. of L. were named and negotiated for months in an effort to iron out the difficulties, but without success.
 dThe engineers were Ill convention at Cleveland last week One of the import ant acts was the decision to abandon fur ther attempts to join the American Fed cration. It was announced, however, that the engineers were in no way hostile to the parent body of labor i'll this country and would continue to work with them in all important matters affecting gen. eral labor conditions.

RAILROAD MEN GET SLASHINC CUT
 BY WAGE BOARD
Pay Reduced 12 Per Cent in Order to Take Effect on
 July I.

Chicago, June 3.-An estimated $4OO,- 100000 will be s1ashed from the nations railway wage bill by an order cutting wages an average of 12 per cent, handed down by the United States railroad labor board Tuesday and which becomes effec- tive July 1. The order affects members of thlrty-one organizations, employed on l04 railroads.
 The decision grants reductions vary ing from five to thirteen cents an hour or from to Is per cent; and in the case of section laborers, completely wipes out the increase ranted that class of en- ployees by the $6OOO00,OOO wage award of July 20, 1920. For section men the reduction was approximately IS per cent Switchmen and shop crafts were given a vice men were cut approximately 7 per cent Gar repalrerS were cut about 10 per cent.
 Common labor pay, over which the rail roads made their hardest fight. is to be reduced 6 to 812 cents an hour, carrying freight truckers average monthly wages to $97.10 and track laborers to $77.11. This new schedule gives section men an average daily wage of $3.O2 for an eight hour day, although considerable testi- mony offered by the roads, particularly i'll the South, showed common labor wages as low as $1 150 for ten-hour day.
 Shop crafts employees and train and engine service men, except those i'll pas senger service, are reduced 8 cents an hour Construction and section foremen are reduced 10 cents an hour.
 Passenger and freight engineers who were given increases of 10 and 13 cents an hour by the 1920 award are to be cut 6 and 8 cents an hour respectively. Pas sener and freight conductors who re- ceived increases of 12 1-2 and 13 cents in 1920 are cut 1-2 and cents respec- lively by the new schedule.
 Train dispatchers and yardmasters whose monthly earning at present aver age $26O to $27O are cut 8 cents an hour.

WOMAN WORKERS WANT LIMITATION
 OF APARTMENTS
Trades Union League Begins Cam paign of Country to Stop
 War Works.

The National Women's Trade Union League in a resolution read to Trades Council last night calls on local Lea gues and affiliated organizations through out the United States for series of To- cal meetings on the subject of limitation of armaments, beginning June 5. We ask you to do your utmost to see that the labor men and women give expression to our faith that America can, If she will, lead in achieving International Limitation of Armaments," reads the call which Is signed by the President of the League, Mrs. Raymond Robins, and the Secretary Treasurer, Miss Emma Steghagen, of Chicago.
 The National Women's Trade Union League has wired to President Harding it's own endorsement of the plan for an International Conference on Limitation of Ar1naments, and it is proposed through the local meetings of working women and their allies to make manifest to the President the vast sentiment which exists among the wage earners i'll support of the movement.
 Other large organizations of women, including the Young Women's Christian Association, the National League of Women Voters, and the General Fed eration of Women's Clubs, have been asked to join in the plan for week of meetings The Church organizations have already set aside Sunday, June 5, as a day to be devoted to the subject of disarmament in their pulpits.
 The call has been sent to all the Ma tional Women's Trade Union League branches in Boston, New York, Balti- more, Philadelphia, Chicago, Seattle, St. Louis, St. Paul (Minn.), Birmingham (Ala.), Clinton Qowa), Grand Rapids (Mich.), Kansas City (Mo), Madison (Wis.), Minneapolis (Minn.), Rock Is. land (Ill), Worcester (Mass) and Washington, D. C.. Affiliated with these local Leagues are labor bodies all over the United States with a combined mem bership of 100000.

HOUSE HOLDS UP
 CIVIL CODE BILL

Although the state senate was caught mapping last week and the proposed Civil Administration Code, reOrganizing the state government was passed when none had the courage to get up and oppose it.. the House wasn't to be caught that way but Leader Buckley neatly and quietly steered the entire matter over to the next session of the Legislature in 1922. There was great opposition to the bill from those now holding state offices who ob- jeCted to anything that might inter fere with their plums. They had confidently expected that the Senate would come to their rescue last week and hold up the bill but the Senate failed them and they therefore tried the House Wednesday and met with glowing success.
 Buckley was suave as usual with his plea for putting the bill over until 1922 when probably he and a lot more may not be present and have to stand the kicks of the oficeholders who will be affected by the code becoming law. Buck ley suddenly became very solicitious for the public veal and stated that before any such legislation as radical as the Ad- ministration Code was adopted the pub lie should have chance to study 1t. He wasn't so insistent on the 'anti-strike" and other legiSlationS that he whipped through the House without regard to the feelings of those affected.
 Buckleys reasons didn't hold much with Thomas w. Russell, chairman of the House committee on the code. Russell declared that the bill had been pending for months, had had plenty of public hearing and should be accepted on its merits, despite the cry of ofhceholders who fear for their jobs if the depart ments are consolidated as proposed Buckley swung his Big Stick, however, and his motion to postpone the bill until 1923 was adopted by 40 to 76 votes.

RUNAWAY TEAM NEARLY
WRECKS FLAG POLE

Crash' went a runaway team
against the base Of the Main Street
flag pole Monday morning. A shud-
der and a quiver ran up the so foot
shaft, and snap. went five feet from
the top of the beautiful pole, while
buckets of garbage flew around the
base and two frightened horses scud-
ded either side from the dust of the
collision and continued unhurt up
the street.
A larg black team of colts belong
ing to n. =. Dean and being driven
by his son. became frightened and
started TO run at n break-neck speed
up Main street. When the team, which
was hitched to large wagon, came to
the flag pole, one Of the horses went
on one side of the pole and the other
horse on the other side, thus bringing
the wagon in violent contact with the
pole. The tongue of the wagon drove
four inches into the base, showing the
force of the impact. A bucket Of
garbage which was on the wagon was
scattered all over the street. A sec
tion about five feet in length was
broken off the flag pole and it, with
the four beautiful electric lights
grouped around it, came to the ground
with crash.
One of the horses was caught a
little farther up the street, but the
other ran a good ways up the main
road before it could be stopped.
Fortunately no one was i'm the wagon
when the team became frightened.
Other than spelling the appearance of
our fine flag pole and badly breaking
the wagon and harness, no damage
was done.
