ADJUSTMENTS

AS the constant dripping of water
wears away stone, so the monot-
ony Of existence in the great north
pounding relentlessly on the nerves
of man wears away reason. The con-
stant sameness of things in country
lashed by winter gales and chained by
leagues of ice and snow is the great
est menace to life. In time the mer-
est trifles are magnified into mons
trosities of thought. Love, thus en-
compassed, dies, and men are inspired
to wild deeds and treacherous i'm
pulses. "The North Winds Malace," ,"
Rex Bcach's thrilling tale of the
northlands, moves on the undertow
Of monotony. But while it is monot-
ony that forms the basis for the
theme there is no monotony in the
action of this vivid, slashing romance.
The mighty deeds of strong men, the
ine piring love Of faithful women live
On through the monotony of an exist
cnce that tries mems souls. "The
North Winds Malice" is powerful
story of life under the open skies of
The rorth.

HEAVY SENTENCES
IF NEGROES GUILTY

The ten Chinese and four men ar
rested last week at Kane Springs by
Custom Inspectors Clare and Humph-
reys were taken to Los Angeles last
night by United States Marshal
Montelone to face trial ina that city
for illegal entrance into the United
States and smuggling. If convicted
said Mr.. Montelone, the negroes are
liable to IA years in the federal
prison at Folsom. 1t is probable that
the Chinese will be deported either
into Mexico or, if the necessary money
is available they will be sent to China
as undesirables. ys- =

Start In Life at Ardmore.

Ardmore, Okla.-Clara Smith Ha-
mon, acquitted on charge of murder
ing Jake L. Hamon, is resting from
eight days in court, and reading hum
dreds Of letters and kilograms. She
had two conferences with attorneys,
who later said nothing had been ar
rived at regarding the possibility of
suit against the Hamon estate and
that, while Clara had before her
number Of high salaried offers she
was not considering their acceptance.
She herself said she was more inter-
ested in making new start in life
and establishing herself with respect
to the people in Ardmore where she
will remain for the present. In few.
days, she said, she probably would go
to Ell Paso, Tex, where her father is
very i'll, and later to California, where
q married sister lives.
At the office Of the county attorney
after the trial it was said there is no
intention to prosecute Clara on the
statutory charge filed against her and
Hamon, with whom she lived for 10
years at the hotel where she shot him.

Hearings Now in Progress Before
Chicago Board Resolve into la.
boris Determined Effort to
Continue Present Rules.

ChicagO.-Union labor leaders delved
into the records of the Association of
Railway Executives before the railroad
labor board in an endeavor to show
that the railroads fight against ma
tional agreements was not unanimous
but was dominated by n few officials.
An underlying purpose to establish
the open shop and crush labor organi-
mtions was declared to be behind the
fight of the association against national
boards of adjustment. The controversy
over these boards in the associations
labor committee was brought out by
crosseXamination of T. Dewitt Cuyler,
chairman of the association, and his
assistant, Robert S.. Binkerd, and the
introduction Of voluminous correspond
ence and reports of the committee
into the labor board record.
Want Rules Continued.
Ghese proceedings marked the be-
ginning Of labor's main fight for con-
tinuance of the national rules and
working agreements now in effect, the
business and reasonableness of which
the board is now trying to decide in
hearings which began January 10.
A basic program Of IL points on
which labor would be willing to nego-
tate national agreements was laid be-
fore the board by B. NJ. Jewell, presi-
dent of the railway employees depart
ment of the American Federation of
Labor when the hearing opened.
Frank p. Walsh, counsel for the
unions, Immediately followed with an
exhaustive crosseXamination of Mr..
Binkerd and Mr.. Cuyler.
Board Began in Transportation Act.
The associations labor committee
was the outgrowth of the transporta-
tion act, according to testimony of
Mr.. Binkerd, brought out in the cross
examination, and was designed to deal
with labor disputes. AS result a
bipartisan board appeared at the sug-
gestion of ex-President Wilson in
March, 1920.
The national boards Of adjustment
created under federal control were
continued with the approval of ma
jority Of the labor committed, it was
brought out. Minority reports, repre-
senting the stand Of w. w. Atterbury,
vice president of the Pennsylvania,
however, were adopted by the associa-
ton, which went on record in favor
of local boards Of adjustment.
