outside of Chicago is represented
in the house by a Republican. In
the last congress, Rainey was the
lone Democrat from down-state,
having represented the Twentieth
district, a Democratic stronghold,
for nearly 20 years. Representa-
tive Shaw defeated him in 1920 by
a majority of 1000 out of about
$1,000 votes cast.
Following his defeat, Rainey was
appointed a member of the tariff
commission by President Wilson

 ment'S Figures

Boston, Nov. 25.-Workmen at the Boston Navy Yard have voted to raise fund 10 guarantee that the cost of reconditioning the steamship Lev iathan there would not exceed the es- innate, Mayor Peters wrote Secretary of the Navy Denby and Chairman Lasker of the Shipping Board yester- day. This action, he said, was in reply to the contention that the con tract would not be given to the local yard because a Navy Yard could give no guarantee against cost exceeding the estimate.
 Mayor Peters said he had been in formed by the president of the Metal Trades Council that the men voted that a certain percentage of their wages be set aside to create a guar antee fund
 "I believe this to be one of the most notable and impressive actions ever taken by labor body" the mayor wrote.
 He p$4ed out that the bid of the local yard on reconditioning the Levi athan, made in May, 1920, was $I,8o2,- 900 below that of the only other bid der, a private concern If the work were done here, he said, it would keep 5000 men busy for at least year

THE PALACE.

A thoroughly gripping, human story is told by "A Mans Home, !" the latest Ralph Ince production which has been chosen as the Palace screen feature for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Told in a way that is refreshingly different from the usual methods of handling stories of the wreCkage or near Wreckage of a home "A Mans Home" proves to be a bright, clean and at all times en- tcrtaining product of the films made under the direction of one of the fore most of screcndom's producers As the foolish wife, neglected by a hus- band whose life is mainly devoted to amassing great wealth, Kathlyn Will Hams is at all times charming and likable. This star divides leading honors with Harry T. Mercy, who plays the part of the moncy-secking husband. The triangle of the money making husband, the neglected wife and a daughter without the real love of parents and necessary home influ- cnccs has never been treated in quite the same convincing manner as Ralph Incc handles the subject in "A Man $ Home"

THE BIJOU.

For the coming week at the Bijou, starting Monday, the management IS going to try something i'll the way ot a bit of experiment by offering the Thayer and Sacks Revue, Junior Follies of Io2I," a complete musical show running an hour and half and presented identically as presented all last season by Klaw and Erlanger i'll legitimate houses all through the west at $2 rate of admission. The com pany, which numbers 30 people and includes the famous California Peach Chorus of 20 of them 28 former Mack Scnnctt Bathing Beauties in the line up has as it's principal comedian Mike Sacks, one of the most entertaining Hebrew comics now before the pub lie. Sacks is ably supported by Frank Murray, Bob Alexander, Harry Mac Mann, tenor soloist; Jack Slater, baritone; Melvin Wallace, solo dancer; Dave Harris, character man; Flo King, prima &onna; Ruth Elnore, leading lady; May Thayer, soubrette; Marie Girard, acrobatic dancer; Vera Hodge, danseuse de luxe; and that famous Peach Chorus, positively one of the pretticst, classiest, shapeliest and peppiest choruses ever seen in any musical comedy on any stage. There are 20 musical numbers, of the solo, duo, trio, quartet and ensemble order and the changes of costume are as many as they are bewildering.
 It is especially desired to empha size the fact that this production is offered here exactly as 1t was offered from coast to coast last season in first class production theatres at a S2.5o and $3 admission price. There have been musical comedy tabloids at the Bijou prior to this, but the Junior Follies of 1921 is sure to prove revelation here and constitutes one of the biggest attractions ever booked at the popular playhouse.
 Sunday night and the three days following the leading picture feature will be Poppy with Norma Tal- madge as the star supported by Eugene O'Brien. Miss Talmadge has the role of ~Poppy Destin" whose life is molded by three men-Luce Abinger, the interruptions; Dr. Bramhan, the generous; and Evelyn Carson, the lover, who have become

Of more than passing interest 10 play goers is the special program ar ranged for Sunday evening. Two big features have been booked for this evening only The first is Marie Pro vost in "Nobody's Fool" the second is "Woman's Awakening" Each is a strong, interesting and valuable screen drama. In addition in the way of shorter screen subjects the Selz- nick Weekly, the Kineto Revue and the Pathc comedy, Fifteen Minutes.
 A brilliant overture and incidental music by the Palace orchestra and or gan will also add to the pleasures.
 One of it's very choice offerings, an way bills during the past few weeks, heads the Palace vaudeville column for Monday, Tuesday and Wednes- day. This is Bits and Pieces" in which Jack Patton and Loretta Marks assisted by a bevy of pretty girls, ap- pear to the brightest and smartest ad- vantage. Bits and Pieces' is a round of new songs swinging along to catchy music and surrounded by a setting of comedy that is snappy, bright and amusing. Another notable feature is Leo Donnelly who appears with Stella Larrimore in "Tis and Tisn't," an act which the critics have classcd as a super comedy. Frank Walmsey and Mae Heating in Com realities of Life; something in the way of a real smile v{licle; Joe Arm strong, one of the cleverest of tramp fun makers, and Larimer and Hud- son whose novelty dancing is re- markedly clever and entertaining, are other acts on this fine Palace bill for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

JAIL SENTENCES
(Continued from Page One.)

 of the Sherman law authorizing jail sentences have rarely been enforced, the situation here is of such character that the time has come to put stop to these criminal practices; and in my doing 1t is to invoke and bring to life those features of this great act which provide for imprisonment in all instances where the facts warrant 1t,
 "Of course this does not apply to all the defendants nor indeed to many of them; and, moreover, the court IS bound to take strongly into consldera- tion in dealing with all the defendants the fact that they have appeared here and pleaded guilty, thus saving the government long and expensive trial; and while 1 feel constrained to impose Imprisonment on some my judgment even in those instances will be much less severe than upon a conviction after trial. Defendants aware of their guilt but who never theless contumaciously stand out on a plea of not guilty are entitled to much less consideration than those who candidiy acknowledge guilt and throw themselves upon the mercy of the court"
 In a formal statement, MT. Hay ward said:
 "I believe Judge Van Fleet ren- dered very great public service by inficting even short jail sentences on the ringleaders of the so-called tile trust It should have a beneficial ef- feet from Maine to California, wher- ever these lawless and criminal com binations exist and operate, whether in the building trades at first exposed by Mr. Untermyer and the Lockwood committee, or other branches of in duStrV"

PACKING EMPLOYES ACCEPT WAGE CUT
 TO LOWER PRICES
Will Become Effective November 28 and Extend Throughout
 Country.

Chicago, Nov. 25-Employes of Ar mour & Company, 26OOO in all, through their plant governing committee, have agreed with officials of the packing house that a wage reduction is necessary, and fixed it's amount The cut Is effective Nov. 28.
 This is the first time in the history of the industry that wage reduction has been agreed to in such a manner.
 Officials of Swift X Company an- nounced that after an all-day conference the representatives of the Chicago en- plOyes had voted that readJustment ot wages was necessary, had extended vote of confidence in the management, and had voted to leave the wage read justment to the discretion of the man. agement.
 Reductions for various classes of em- ployes of the Chicago assembly prac- tically corresponding to those fixed by the employees of Armour & Company and et- fective on the same date, Nov 28, were then announced by company officials, who said they expected the other lo assem- plies of employees to take similar action.
 Employees of Wilson & Company and the Cudahy Packing Company, are ex- pected to accept similar reductions, and Morris X Company has announced that it will follow the example of the others The agreement between Armour X Company and its employees followed a two-day conference. Twenty four en- cils in nine cities, met with an equal number of company officials. The books were opened and the financial situation of the company explained. The question was put to a vote, and the following re- ductions, effective in all plants except at Fort Worth, Tex, adopted: For piece workers, 8 per cent; un- skilled labor, getting AS cents an hour or | less, 7A cents; semi-skilled labor, get | ting 45 and SO cents an hour three cents | A minimum wage of 25 cents an hour | for adult female labor is provided. These reductions apply to plants in | Chicago, St. Paul, Sioux City, Omaha 1 St. Joseph, Kansas City, St. Louis and 1 Denver.
 The reductions at Fort Worth, where wages are gauged by local labor cond'- I tions are:
 Unskilled labor receiving less than 42H cents an hour, 71a cents.
 l Semi skilled labor, receiving from 42E to 47A cents an hour, five cents. | Skilled labor receiving more than 4/H cents an hour, three cents. 1 When the reductions are applied tC
 the plants of the other members of the
 big five, 125,OOO men and women will be affected. In the final result, a far larger
 number will be directly concerned, as
 wages in several hundred smaller pack | ing houses are based on the big five
 scales.
 l No change is made in working condi-
 tions or the 40-hour week guarantee.
 The action, officials said, marked {
 new departure in American industry
 While the plant congress" idea has beer
 tried with varying success in other lines
 the packing houses were the first na-
 tional industry to attempt this method o1
 employe representation i'll the manage | ment.

In discussing North Dakota's social
istic ventures, one writer draws this
comparison: When man goes on a
spree and smashes his expensive auto
mobile against a telephone post, the
public doesn't at once conclude that
his business is wreck. Just so, be-
cause North Dakota has taken flyer
in number of foolish socialistic ven
lures that have gone wrong, one after
the other, the state is not financially
unsound. We have simply squander-
ed our loose change. Our means of
livelihood still remains, and we can
recuperate. True, the league banks,
newspapers, stores etc., have gone
wrong and have eaten up millions Of
the farmers hard-earned dollars.
Yet, the experiment has not been with
out value. It has demonstrated to
the more conservative of us what can
happen, and it has demonstrated to
the average man that all smooth talk
ers are not to be relied upon. Our
problems are working out to ben
eficial conclusion. We will be safe
and sound when many another state is
suffering from the ills of expert
mentalism.
