This is Lent and millions of Chris

some cases are source of great val

came only through prayer and fast

that the big things of the world are
done when men and women forget
food, ease, pleasure, and give them
selves wholly to a noble cause.

reads:
Alma, Michigan, February s, 1921
Recent Investigations have demon
strated beyond question that certain
things featured in the usual motion
picture theater, and exhibited to the
general public, including children, de-
picting crime and featuring words
and acts of low moral character,
have become public menace.
We believe, that while the motion
picture when rightly used, may be of
great educational and moral value,
and may be legitibly used for enter
tainment purposes, it is often the
encourager if not school of crime.
fostering immoralities.
AT meeting Of the Council of the

UNION LEADERS
ARE UNDECIDED
ON WAGE SLASH
About 1900 Delegates
Meet in Chicago to\ Can
vaSS the Railroad Pay
Reduction Situation.

Chlcago, July Halfway union
leaders tonight were undecided on
their final attitude toward the gen.
eral IL per cent wage reduction
which became effective today on
virtually every railroad in the
country by order OF the United
States railway labor board.
Despite dissatisfaction, no re-
ports of sporadic strikes or any se-
rious threats of strikes were re-
ported to the union chiefs here to-
day.
Approximately fifteen hundred
delegates from system organi-
cations of the big four brother
erhoods the shop crafts, the MAIN
tenance of way men, telegraphers,
clerks and switchmen met here
today to canvass the situation.
Heads of the big four and the six
teen American Federation of Labor
unions also met.
The executives meetings, 1t was
said, took no action other than to
place the entire wage situation in
the hands of a committee headed
by B. NJ. Jewell, president of the
railway employees department OF
the American Federation of Labor.
The other members are e, H. F'itz-
gerald, president of the Brother
hood of Railway and Steamship
Clerks, Freight Handlers, Express
and Station Employees; L. L. Shep-
pard, president of the Order Of
Railway Conductors; e. j, Manion,
president of the Order of Railroad
Telegraphers, and Timothy Shea,
vice president Of the Brotherhood
Of Locomotive Firemen and En-
ginemen.
The big four, according to Harry
P. Daugherty, vice grand chief of
the engineers, were favorable to
accepting the cut as necessary
evil" On the other hand, the
shop crafts and maintenance OF
way men are said to be emphati-
cally opposed to accepting it.
Mr.. Jewell said tonight that all
the unions. and all the brother
hoods would unite in whatever ac-
ton would be taken.

that 1t has been decided that un-
less an offer that amounts to some
thing is received before August l.

continued.
The airships, stations and ma
terial will then be handed over to

the camps Of Jack Dempsey and
Georges Carpenter on the eve of
their championship bout In Jersey
City tomorrow.
Special statements furnished the
Associated Press either directly or
indirectly by the principals, their
managers and the promoter fol-
lows:
BY JACK DEMPSEY, Heavy
weight champion of the world:
1 am in the best shape of my ca
reer. ready and anxious to give an
account of myself in the ring, as
champion of the world. l expect
to win, and win as quickly as pos
sible. If one punch will knock Car
pentier out, I'll be better satisfied
But regardless of how long the
fight goes, the public can depend
upon me to do my level best every
second of the way. / am proud to
represent America against the Eu-
pean challenger, and this pride will
cause me to make what l feel will
be the greatest fight in my life.
was never more anxious to win
a fight than this one. OF course, l
know that Carpenter is a great
hitter. but / feel confident that
will be able to successfully defend
my title. l have faithfully trained
the best I know how. l put in ten
weeks Of work, six weeks of real
hard training. l am ready.
BY JACK KEARNS, manager of
Jack Dempsey:
We expect to win over Georges
Carpenter in three or four rounds.
l will not be surprised If Dempsey
stops him in the first round, This,
OF course, depends upon the style
adopted by Carpenter.
The Dempsey who will defend
his title as worlds champion is
the fastest, hardest hitting, gamest
heavyweight who over stepped in
side of ring. After the fight is
over think everyone who saw 1t
will agree with me.
