Railroads Now Find
 Shoe onOther F oot

Chicago, Oct. 28.-ln their attempt to place their wage-reduction plan on the shoulders of Uncle Sam, the rail roads find that the shoe is on the other foot, and they are in the posi- ton of being compelled 10 swallow their own medicine.
 When the brotherhoods' strike was announced the railroad labor board ordered that the status quo be main tained until they could consider the question.
 The railroads and their rctainers were in high glcc. "Now," they de clarcd, "a strike means defiance of the government, and we can sit back and let the government fight 1t out for us"
 The jubiliation was short lived, however, for the railroad labor board orders the railroads to defer the wage reelection plan until it can con- slider the question.
 The railroads and their packers are forced into an awkward position, and are abandoning their howls for obed- fence to government orders.

THE RI.JOJJ

What mother love will do to prevent the blight of the underworld from alighting upon her child forms a power ful and appealing part of the tremendous picture play The Invisible Power'' which comes to the Bijou Monday for a three days engagement. House Pet ers' lpays the role of a crook who wants to go straight because of his love for a village school teacher. She forgives him his past record but the police think that the ex-convict knows the whereabouts of a pearl neCkleSs stolen by the gang, and he Is sent up again for an old offence. Then the wife fearing to have her child born into such an atmosphere gives the child out for adoption and fakes up a record for herself as a receiver of stolen goods to put the public off her track. How the man and the woman and their child are finally reunited forms a touch ing story of human hearts as well as a thrilling crook drama. Other short fea- lures will be shown on the same program and the first three days vaudeville will be headed by "Chic Supreme" an elabor- ite spectacle presented by the prettiest group of singing and dancing girls in present day vaudeville. The second big feature will be "Bettys Back" a novel little comedy with music the action. Other acts include Young and Hamilton in African Logic" the Walton Duo in an instrumental fantasy and Lecardo Brothers eccentric acrobats presenting "Thc Third Bakers'
 As a special added attraction Tuesday night Manager Menges will offer Oppor- tunity Night with a dozen extra acts on the bill

THE PALACE

Hailed alike by critics and review
 CTS as the most satisfying and also as the most typical American picture that has yet been produced, "The Old Nest" IS sure to prove source of keenest delight to Palace audiences when it is presented at the big thea
 ter for the ntiree wek bginninge Sun
 day evening. In the fact that the Palace management has decided to retain this greatest of all Rupert Huges film stories for the entire week is sufficient answer of it's value as an entertaining production and a strong medium of attraction. The theme, that of a mother who sees her six children leave her, one by one, is common to American families. All the heart touches, the pathos and poignancy of feeling that these leave takings arouse in real life have been drawn with telling force by the pen of Rupert Hughes and in turn each have been caught by the cameras

eye and registered unerringly on the screen.
 The Palace presentation will be marked by many special features. A specially staged prologue will be used at the opening of the production and the very fine musical score written expressly for the picture will be played by the Palace orchestra. An other delightful feature of the pre- sentation will be the singing of Jenny Lee.
 Palace vaudeville fo Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday will feature d quartet of variety offerings that will form a bill of real entertainment class. Erford's Oddities, richly staged and thoroughly enjoyable dance novelty; Laura Ordway and Company in song recitations, George Fisher and Hon cy" Hurst in their laugh making Hats and things" and Fireman and Lewis, known as the entertaining en- tertainers, are the acts chosen to make up the vaudeville bill surround ing the big screen offering.
 The entire vaudeville bill will be changed as usual on Thursday

War Grafters Safe After Ar11istice Dav

Washington, Oct 28-There will be joy among war grafters when the na- ton mourns at the interment of the un- known American soldier boy on Arr1is- tice day, November II. After that date the grafters will be immune from prose cutlon by the statute of limitation.
 A few weeks ago attention was called to the probability of the grafters escaping and much talk was heard about rushing bill through congress extending the statute of limitation from three years to six years. The plan was dropped, how ever, but Attorney General Dougherty was not so busy at that time that he could not journey to Cincinnati and tell the American Bar Association of the need tor compulsory investigation of indus trial disputes that strikes may be stopped by law.
 A house committee headed by Con- gressman Graham has been investigat- ing the war grafters. Thecommittee made this report on the Standard Steel Ompany

ganization, went to the board to re- quest defcrment of the decision.
 These members declared that they told the committee the railroad group r of the board was ins1stent that ''im- mediate and emphatic" action be taken by if, and that this action was being deferred only at the counsel of pub lie and labor groups so that the unions might have a chance to act first.
 Another committee of three vice chiefs of the engineers conferred for several hours with MT. Hooper dur ing the afternoon, and it was re- ported that this committee also was informed of the boards plans. The board remained in executive session the unions and discussing it's state ments on yesterdays hearing.
 The first statement of the eNeCu- tives action was made by MT. Lee. Rushing to the floor below the hotel meeting room where dozens of news paper reporters were Congregated he smiingly shoutcd:
 The strike is off boys, but I've only got one copy of the resolution, and I'll show that to you tomorrow.
 All of the union men were smiling as they came out and many of them jocularly pushed and showed each other down the stairs. To all queries most of them merely replied:
 "It's all settled, See you tomor- row."
 The code messages calling off the strike, arranged in advance, were sent out this morning. A code word was sent to each general chairman of the unions and he will in turn for ward the orders to each of tue subor- dinate officials under him.
 J. H. Elliot, of the rail group of the railroad labor board, when in formed that there would be no strike at this time said:
 q am very much gratihed at the good judgment exhibited by the men, To say any more would just be shooting the bull"

g. The following day a motion to ex- punge the objeCtiOnal matter was adopted by a vote of 314 to 1. Blanton casting the one vote. The temper of the house was shown by it's refusal to permit him to speak on the motion. Not member of the house defended or excused him.
 Some of the oldest members and at- tendants, in congress declared that Blan- ton is the most unpopular member with in their recollection.
 He Is not fair fighter. He will ob- jcct to the smallest detail that may be passed without a vote if no member objects On routine matters he will raise the point of no quorum and force roll call, which consumes half an hour. As his name is among the first to be called he then retires from the floor of the house to write his constituents that he "1S on the job"
 He was never known to be interested i'll constructive legislation or attack special privilege or discuss fundamental inconsequental stuff that the average man ignores.
 Recently he wrote the newspapers i1 single-handed fight against members raising their salaries. When these news papers reached Washington he was hooted by his colleagues and told that if the members wanted to raise their salar- ics 1t could be done while he was out of the city making speeches.
 Blanton's knowledge of trade unionisr and other economic subjects is that ot small town citizens alliance business agent, for which office he is well equipped as is illustrated by his use of the Con- gressional Record to advertise improper language by an individual as an indict- ment against trade uniOnisrl.

CONGRESS REDUCES
 HIGH SURTAX SCALE

Washington, Oct 28-Both branches of congress have agreed to reduce the o6 on large incomes, The house favOrs a reduction to B per cent, but this has caused such a protest throughout the country that the senate has made the ,urtax 50 per cent.
 Under the senate amendment the sur tax starts with charge of l per cent on annual incomes from $6,OOO to $lO, U00 Another 1 per cent Is added for every additional $2,000 income, until the $20000O and over income IS reached, when the surtax will be the maximum 50 per cent, instead of 65 per cent, as provided under the present law.
 The few thousand excessively rich in dividuals who will gain by this reduction have not lost their fight for a still great CT cut in their income taxation, for when the revenue bill goes to conference amendments can be made and those must be accepted by the house and senate, or the entire revenue bill must be rejected and the long fight reopened,
 Advocates of low surtax claims that persons with large incomes are taking their money out of the industry and placing 1t in taX-exempt bonds of all description, which are estimated to total $3O00O0,00O. The high surtaxers reply that the tax-exernpt bonds will be owned by some one, and if the present owners sell them the ownership will be merely transferred and no reduction if income taxes can prevent the sale of these sec urities
 The revenue bill also calls for the abolshment of excess profits. Linked up with these revenue losses to the gov ernnent are whispers that the govern ment's economy program has proven a flash in the pan" and that deficits ag- gregating millions of dollars are facing the treasury.

NEW HAVEN ROAD
 GENERAL CHAlRMEN
 HURRY TO CHICAGO
Mixup in Orders Delays Departure but Union Officials Are All
 There Now.

The general chairman of the Blg Four" railroad brotherhoods m New England, who were scheduled to leave Boston Monday on orders ot the Railroad Labor Board and appear at the hearings in Chicago, did not start for Chicago until 10 Tuesday morn ing.
 The change in date was due to a mixup- i'll orders. The first orders which were received early Sunday morning by telegraph were from the board and instructed the local othcerS to appear at the hearings.
 lust before starting time Monday morning telegraphic orders were re- ceived from the, grand presidents o1 d the brotherhoods instructlng these officers to stay at their respective posts and notifying them that they would be represented at the Chicago hearings by the Grand Lodge officers
 Within few minutes after the train on which they intended to ga to Chicago left Boston telegrams were received signed by R. M. Bar ton, chairman of the Railroad Labor Board. ordering these officers to ap- pear in Chicago as soon as pos5lDle no matter what orders had been re ceived from other sources.
 While these telegrams held out nc threat of punishment in the event ot the refusal of the officials to go to Chicago, the wording was such as to make the union leaders believe that they would either go voluntarily or else they would go under the escort of Government officials.
 In order to be their own bosses on the trip, the start was made over the Boston & Albany from the South Station at 10 Tuesday morning While nothing official on the situa- ton was given out by the union lead CTS, it was said unoficially thar if no settlement was offered by the date set for the strike, the men will suspend work without further orders.
 "The absence of these officers from their respective headquarters will in no way affect the suspension of work by the men. Full instructions have been issued, and each man has known for a number of days what he is expected to do when the zero hour is reached" according to the words of one leader.
 It was said that vice chairmen are have the full authority of the grand lodge officers to act in the absence of the general chairman, and others have been named to succeed to places vacated by calls from Chicago, Wash ington, or any other place where an attempt may be made to prevent the strike.

TAX LODGING PLAN STRIKES SNAC;
 ONE SENATOR HINTS DECEPTION
Senate Rejects Plan to Permit Big Business to Exploit Cheapest Labor and Exempt In- come.

Washington, Oct. 2S.-By vote Q 35 to 30 the senate rejected plan that would permit big business to cN- uloit the cheapest labor i'll the world, secure the protection Ot the Amer ican army and navy i'll these dlstan lands and be exempt from Amerlcan income, corporation, or other taxes.
 The scheme was included in the new revenue bill, which. has passed the house. It provided that where an American corporation does So per cent. of it's business abroad It IS exempt from taxes Ill the United States.
 Advocates of the plan said this , was the practice ot European na- tions, and that American business men should be placed on the same footing, that they could successfully
 After the bill was defeated Sena- tor Simmons Automatically charged that trickery was used by the tax exemption advocates.
 He said the only reason the senate committee reported in favor ot the bill was that it would equalize com petition with other countries, but now it is found that the only nation that permits this exemption IS Great Brit ain, which lis supposed to have granted some sort ot concession III the case of corporations doing busl- ness in China"
 It was shown that the plan would permit corporations to control the American export trade, amounting to $II,ooo, 100000, make, enormous prot its and pay nothing upon these prohts into the American treasury.
 One advocate of the bill really ad- vanced the strongest argument against 1t. This senator sad he "hoped" it would not result in send ing American capital, American en- terprise and American companies ln- to countries where they could, by using cheap labor, compete with American concerns,
 The plan was so daring and so al1-inclusive that it staggered some senators, even though they are versed in the methods of financial buc- cancers.
 Under the present law big business may open branches in foreign coun- tries, and trade as an American cor poration, but it must pay taxes on Its profits to the United States. It can evade these taxes by incorporating under the laws of the foreign coun- try, but this debars them from calling on the United States government when in difficulty with the authorities or the populace of that country.
 The proposed plan would be an inducement for big buSness. to in vest in cheap-labor countries with out paying taxes to America, al though assured, as now, of govern ment aid when in distress.

WORKERS WAGES DOWN;
 OFFICIALS SALARY UP

Washington, Oct 28-Sccrc- tary of War Weeks has inaugu- rated an economic policy in the Panama canal zone, on recom- mcndation of a commission headed by Brigadier General COnnOr.
 Wages of workers are re- duccd and the manyAconcessions given them as an inducement 10 go to Panama when health was mcnaced IS taken from them. These reductions are eS- timatcd at $oo.o5 a month for married men and $O6.5o for single men.
 The "economy' program stopped with the wage workers, for the commission recommend ed that the salary of the gover- nor of the canal zone be in creased 50 per cent and that he also be allowed an additional $4,ooo as president of the Pan anna railroad, for "entertain- mcnt expenses.
 t is also stated that hence forth the canal zone will be operated under what anti unionists term "open" shop.
 Officers of the A. F. of L. metal trades department took the matter up with the secre- tary of war and the President, but without success.

William H. Finley, president of the Chicago & Northwestern, at his home at Wheaton, ILL, said: Il am very glad 10 hear that. It certainly will be relief to everyore.'
 Samuel Felton, president of the Chicago Great Western, said: "I eN- pccted that. 1 do not care to say any more tonight"
 Union leaders said that the rcsolu ton adopted by the labor board an nouncing that no further wage re duction petitions for any one group of employees would be considered un- lil rules and working conditions for that group had been settled was de ,idedly instrumental" i'll bringing about the action calling off the walk out They declared that they be
 ievcd under this resolution, it would be months before their pay agaln could be reduced.
 On Tuesday the Labor Board turn ed to the railroads and began to put the screws" on them and force them to withdraw their demands for furth- CT wage reductions suggesting that the roads temporarily postpone seek ing further wage reductions because the boards docket is so crowded that wage decisions for all classes ot em- pIoyes could not be rendered before July, 1922. The carriers, however, informed the board that they were "powerlcss to take any other posi- ton" than their present one.
 In a formal statement the board informed the carriers that 1t would not consider any petitions for wage cuts, and the questions of rules and working conditions, now before 1t, were fully settled. The board then unoff fcially let the carriers know, 1t was learned, that since ruling on wages for all classes could not be handed down before July, 1922, Ii would like the roads formally to an nouncc postponement of their plans to seek further pay cuts, taking the attitude that such an announcement might avert a walkout.
 The committc of the Association Ot RailW ay Executives which conferred with the board announced, however, that the carriers would stand pat on their plans to seek new pay cuts on the ground that wages must be re- duccd before freight rates could be lowered, and that since the strike was called technically in protest of wage ! cuts already authorized by the board there was no necessity for the roads to take other than an inactive part in the strike controversy between the board and the unions. They evident l lv backed down, however.

 Blanton made no attempt to expur- gate the indecencies, but printed them so plainly that he clearly intended to "prove" his case against organized labor.

Washington, Oct. 2S.-The Dyer bill, imposing heavy penalties on persons involved in mob action resulting in the taking of life, has been favorably reported by the house judiciary committee.
