Doug Fairbanks Is Just Like a Little
Bow

Doug Fairbanks Is Just Like a Little
Boy
There's absolutely no secret about
the wonderful ability Douglas Fair
banks displays in doing his hazard
Gus stunts and the way he does them,
for Doug is just like boy who has
never grown up. He is constantly
trying out new perilous feats that
keep everyone around his studio in a
constant state of GREATNESS suspense.
During the making of his latest
production for the Big Four" when
the Clouds Roll By" which will be
shown at the Johnson Opera House
today, Doug decided that one scene
would be improved if he performed a
standing back somersault. But he
had never done such a stunt and did
not know quite how to go about it,
For days and days he practiced in his
gymnasium at the studio and Incl
dentally, got some rather severe falls.
Still he would not give up. And when
the day finally arrived for the filming
of this particular set" he did his
back somersault without the slightest
bit of trouble.

Error in Dispatch
Still Bringing Kicks
to Secretary Hughes

Washington April 21-Protests are
continuing to be made to the State
department as the result of an As
ISOLATED Press dispatch which incor-
rectly stated that Secretary Hughes
Lad recommended to Congress rigid
restrictions on immigration and had
characterized immigrants of certain
nationalities, among them Jews,
Let's. Lithuanians, Russians, Ar
menians, Prussians and others as un-
desirable,
In reply to all these the State de-
partment is pointing out that 'Secre-
tary Hughes made no recommends
tons whatever and made no charac-
terizations of any. class of immi-
grants. His letter to Representative
Johnson of Washington. chairman of
the House immigration committee
was purely formal one transmitting
"paraphrased abstracts. Of reports
concerning immigration received from
officials of this government who have
been abroad" It was in the appen-
dix of paraphrases, prepared by a
bureau of the State department, that
certain classes of immigrants were
characterized unfavorably, and that
certain recommendations of agents
were referred to.
The statement that the recommen-
dations were those of Secretary
Hughes and that the characterize
lions were his own was an error
which the Associated Press regrets
and in fairness to Mr. Hughes read
lily acknowledged, of it's own accord
While Secretary Hughes personal
ly signed the letter of transmittal
it is understood that he did not per-
sonally read the reports which were
attached in the usual manner in
which replies to Congressional re.
quests for information are prepared
Although the officials who prepared
the paraphrases edited them vigor-
ously before they were permitted te
go forward they are frank in saying
they feel now that they did not edit
them vigorously enough.

Ask Union Labor to
Withdraw All Money
from Boston Banks

Boston, April 21-Withdrawal of
the money of all members of organ
lied labor from the banks Of Boston
was recommended by the strike COM
mittee of the United Building Trades
Council in q resolution adopted here
today.
This action was urged following a
statement by E. A. Johnson, secre-
tary of the council. that Parker F.
Soule, president of the Building
Trades Employers Association, re-
Gently had declared before the State
Board Of Cancellation and Arbitra-
ton that reduction of wages in the
trade had been forced by the banks
and money interests Of the city.
Tonight Mr.. Soule denied the truth
Of this assertion, saying 81 never
made such a statement"
Mr.. johnson said that Mr.. Soule
had asserted that the Employers
were ordered to cut wages"
IF any one refused to obey this
order" Mr.. Johnson added. che would
be- unable to do business as the
banks would cut off his supply of
money. Many Of the employers told
us in conferences that the cut in
wages was against their wishes, but
they must obey orders"
The strike committee also voted to
demand legislative inquiry into the
building situation.
About 10000 have been idle In the
building trades here since last Janu-
airy when the employers association
announced a wage cut to 80 cents an
hour from a previous rate of 81.
Within the past week the employers
announced they would resume build
ing under open shop conditions at the
80 cent wage and would not deal
| with labor unions for at least the re-
mainder of 1921.
