VAN BITTNER URGES UNION
 MINERS TO USE WHATEVER
 MEANS THEY MAY CHOOSE TO DISLODGE MEN AT WORK

ty Van Bittner. Some people tell you the government gave you these bene- fits, but don't you believe that" he said "The only thing the government ever gave you was that decision Of Kilbys. The union got you $4 and $4.40 for driving mule eight hours day Did you ever have anything like that before 1917a"
 NO WAGES CUT
 The speaker declared that thers would be no cut in wages now because the union was still alive in Alabama. He declared that 2S men had died in one county in Pennsylvania thas unionism might live and that others had died yfor the cause in other states, including Alabama. He charged that William Baird had been crucified on the altar of unionism and that every miner owed it to the memory of Baird to plant the flag of unionism on every coal tipple in this state.
 Judas lscariot was the first 'scab, said Van Bittner, but he was so ashamed of himself for what he had done that he committed suicide. These 'scabs' in Alabama haven't enough manhood to follow his example.
 Don't let the 'scats' and operators run you out of Alabama to some other coal field. This is your state and you have got to organize here and fix
  away in the past can come back here to work.
 "The United Mine Workers of Amer. ica are going to try to stick by you and help you organize until March Sl, 1922. But that is the final date But If you have not walked up and formed a good organization by that time, we are going to build fence around this in fernal state and let you 'scab' for the rest of your lives. It's up to you. But if you don't organize in Alabama. we are going to fix it so you miners can't come into some other state that is or ganized and get work. We will stand by you one year, but that is all. KEEP HOUSES
 'If any of you men are cowardly enough to let the operators put you ont of their houses, it is your own fault. said the speaker. We are Hot going to furnish any more tents for yon. Stay in the houses you are in now. Some of you men have grown so lazy l you even made your wives draw ra- tons during the strike.
 T hear that there is talk about us selling you miners out. There was no market and we had nothing to seli, I There were 27000 men at work when the strike was called and only S,2o0 were paying dues. You can't win strikes with 12 per cent. You men ought to be ashamed of yourselves for waiting for outsiders to come here and | help you organize.
 rYou men get your jobs back any way you can They may compel yon to sign a yellow dog That amounts to nothing What difference does sign | ing trSt thing make? I would sign anything they want and still continue to pay my dues to the union. The op- orators are 'bluffing. They are walt ing to see if you are going to per suade the scabs to go. There are many different methods of 'persuasion.' Every man must adopt his own meth ods. Just let your conscience be your guide."s

and respect him for his erudition, and cherish a fine affection for the man himself.
 But of the effect which he pro duces upon his audience at the very moment when he draws from his mu- sicians the finished ensemble of aIL interpretation, musical literati seldog. speak The subject is too much ma .- ter of personality for them, perhaps. They prefer to allow the public to dis co%er for itself what might be calle j the musical magnetism of the conduc- tor. At any rate, the audience is not slow to put this construction upon their silence. It revels in the pie turesqueness of conducting.
 There is one writer, however, who has shared the view of the public and considered the personality of the con- ductor worthy of description Pierre Francois Revalles, one of the younger literary lights of Paris, a disciple of the Baudelaire cult, wrote an inter esting paragraph or two describing Josef Strans<y in action. The essay was written shortly after the present leader of the Philharmonic had con- ducted at a London concert several years ago M Revalles' description appears in his book of essays, Les Precieux" brief portion of it reads as follows Gin translation): q have HedTu dl OTcneSIra conducted Dy the remarkable Josef Stransky at last It is as if he had first absorbed the pe- culiar musical aroma of the spirit to whom he is giving life-whe ther it be the thunder breath of some classic giant, or the pale, elusive fragrance of hothouse modern. Thus satu- rated he begins, slowly or with anima- tion as the music calls for it-but all ways with an inherent grace that tno oxyn To md I,aT- emanates from him the aura of re created genius--an aura intangible, subtle. and yet a verity. It flows from the slender baton, from the tips of hts fingers, and enters the souls of his sicians--becomes a part of them and is exhaled again--a spiritual breath that is waited to the listener, as the south wind brings the breath of spring to the dusty dwellers in cities"

THE INSIDE OF THE CUP"
 AT STRAND MANY SIDED

The Strand picture for the week, "The Inside of the Cup" takes life as it is and takes it from four differing viewpoints.
 It is the story of gnded gentry of the better sort! Prating of "social standing~ Defiling the church with their heartless hypocrisy! Building their empty pride with the blood and toll of others!
 And then that 'other sort" of person. The heart-hungry girl who finds the narrow path too hard. The boy who tries, loses. stumbles down. The poor who riot when their "betters" steal their homes.
 Two mighty, human millstones, grinding out life, drama, radiant TO- mance-in the thrilling scenes of this great picture.
 A story of dark souls filled with light by the power of a boundless love.

Gilded gentry of ''the better sort'' boasting of their social standing; the heart-hungry girl who finds the narrow path too hard; the boy who tries, loses and stumbles; those who toll for others; fearless man who does not hesitate to denounce the unjust.
