NAVAL BILL IS
UNDER DISCUSSION

s.. Washington, April 10.A.!The fight on
Che naval appropriation bill began in
the house today with members insist
ing, that it did and that it did not
actually carry out the 5-5-3 ratio, as
fixed by treaty. Al day the dis
cussion centered around this one big
question in dispute. ~
Chairman Kelly of the subcommit-
tee on appropriations, which drafted
the measure, and others, Including
Representative Mondell of Wyoming,
Republican leader, declared an enlist
ed force of $4,000 plus 1000 appren-
tice seamen was adequate to main
tain the navy in accordance with the
ever, including Representative Pad
gett of Tennessee, ranking Democrat
on the naval committee, which in
former times prepared the navy bills,
asserted the figures were so low "as
to destroy the efficiency Of the Amer
lean navy" and give it a standing the
same as or lower than that of Japan
In all there were seven speeches
during the day, three for and four
against the measure. Representative
Byrnes eof South Carolina supported
the committee proposals, joining
Chairman Kelly and Mr.. Mondell in
It's defense. On the other side the
speakers with Mr.. Padgett were Rep
resentatives Pinkham of Massachu-
sets, Hustled of New York and Ware
of Pennsylvania, all Republican mem
bers of the appropriations committee
who signed minority report urging
force of $4,000 plus 5000, and who
declared the committee figures dis
rupted and ignored the treaty.
There will be two full days of gen.
eral debate with more later when the
personnel section is reached

Great Cast Chosen for
Little Lord Fauntleroy''

At no time in her career has Mary
Pickford given more care to the choos-
ing of cast or to the assembling of
suitable types than for her next Unit
ed Artists film Offering, Little Lord
Fauntleroy," which will be the feature
at the Rialto Theatre beginning We'd
nesday.
The leading character role, that of
the gouty and irrascible old Earl of
Dorincourt, is played by Claude Gil
iingwater, footlight veteran, whose
recent success was as the crouch in
Three Wise Fools" Mr.. Gilling-
water has many other triumphs to his
credit, having been on the speaking
stage for more than 25 years. This
represents his first venture in pic
lures.
Joseph Bowling, who registered the
pinnacle of cinema fame in The Mir
acle Man." is playing the part of Hav-
isham, the dignified, understanding
and shrewd solicitor whose analytical
mind does much to help solve the.
great difficulty which forms the climax
of the story, Those three lovable
-xrocar. :. the .applewo-
man ana the bootblacIr, are portrayed'
in their respei tive order by James
Marcus, Kat. Price and Fred Mala-
tesla, Marcus played Hobbs, the gro
cer in the original Fauntleroy cast on
he sage in 1888 Kate Price is rec
HpniZed as one Of tie greatest define
ators of Irish character parts on the
screen. AS the mother in Mary Pick
ford's "Amarilly of Clothesline AL
ley" she was a tremendous hit. She
also appeared in Miss Pickford's last
production, Through the Back Door,;
also with Douglas Fairbanks as Mrs.
Candy in ARIZONA" The Lasky fea-
| lures that Kate Price has appeared in
are far too many to enumerate, and
she was one of the first stage ac-
tresses to take up picture work.
Fred Malatesta has. shown to splen-
did advantage in the following fea-
lures: The Mask" in the part of En-
rico Korala, for First National; big
happiness" as Raoul Bergerac, for
| Robertson Cole; "The Sins of Ros-
| nnne," in the role of Revanal. a Las
XIV play. Malatesta is expected to give
| an excellent impersonation of the ltal-
| ian hOotblack who was one of the
New York cronies of the little Lord.
Rose DioAc will play Minna. the ad-
ycnturcss who challenged Lord
Fauntleroys claim to the title. Miss
Dione has done excellent character
work in many productions; most CON
| spiculous perhaps are "Suds" in which
she played Nine. Didier; Goldwyn's
The Great Lover" in whiIh ihe in
| terpreted the role Of Nine. Sabatini; );
'The World and Its Woman" where
she took the part Of lrena.
The role of The Stranger, husband
Of the adventures, Will be taken by
| Arthur Thalasso, who will be remem-
bered for his work as Joe Sylvia in AL
| an Dwan's Forbidden Thing; also
as Svengali in Lasky's "A Dollar-a-
| Ycal Man"
| Miss Pickford's custodian of person
al wardrobe, Nine. Bodamere, who be-
| gan her picture career in Through
the Back Door," will have very good
part in Little Lord Fauntleroy." She
will be Mrs. Higgins, peasant woman
and mother of brood of twelve chill

COAL HEARINGS
HAVE CLOSED

Washington, April 1O.-The hear
ings of the house labor committee
on the national coal strike were con-
cluded today, for a time at least, the
last day being devoted to hearings of
testimony from labor spokesmen who
denied charges of the operators con-
corning union contract breaking be-
ing factor in the walk out. Chair
man Nolan of the committee said
there were no plans at present for a
further investigation of the strike
but the committee will meet Wednes-
day in executive session to take ac-
tion on the Bland bill, which would
set up federal coal commission to
deal with such situations.
Witnesses appearing before the
committee today included Edgar Wal
lace, labor federation legislative
agent, and member of the miners
union; John Hessler, president, and
William Mitch, secretary of the In
diana district of the United Mine
Workers, and James Lord, vice presi-
dent of the American Federation of
Labor.
Examination of the witnesses was
enlivened at one time by Representa-
tive Atkeson (Republican) of Mis-
souri,, who desired to show, he said,
that 1T is the money question bother
ing the miners, rather than. "ques-
tions of labor organization or confer
ence with the operators"
Miners were getting up to last
week 81 per cent more than they got
during the peak of prices during the
war" he declared, in asking Mr.. Wal
lace, why aren't you willing to skin
down little now, when farmers have
them"
is there any reason why we should
lose because farmers weren't organ
ized?" ansered Wallace.
"All right" Mr.. Atkeson pursued.
You did have wage contract with
the bosses; it expired last week;
they don't want to gon on with it
again. What are you going to do
about it? Has congress or anybody
else got power to make 'em?"
Mr.. Wallace agreed that legislation
to compel new contracts might not be
advisable, but suggested the union
could force another bargain.
"Yes, you come here, and say by
use OF power against other white
men, you are going to make what you
want" Mr.. Atkeson returned, "when
you are getting 81 per, cent more
than during the war"
The entire operation of deflation
as affected wages and prices, Mr..
Wallace said,, was artifcially forced
SRsS Spssss ssa a aa9a shpz bad
sisted
"The difference between us and the
farmers" he said, ais that we are
resisting"
Mr.. Hessler told the committee
that Phil H. Penna, operator, repre-
sentative, had given the committee
IAN inaccurate and misleading state
ment" to support charges that the
union had violated generally it's wage
agreements. Mr.. Penna said that
some 800 strikes occurred in the
state in mines during 1921, while
the union records, Mr.. Hessler de-
clared, accounted for but "a.
He also upheld the wage scale be-
fore the strike as reasonable, as did
Mr.. Mitch.

RUSSIANS FIRST
AT CONFERENCE

Genoa, April 10 (By the Associat-
ed Press) s).-Russia, the status of
which is one of the questions of su-
preme Importance to be decided by
the economic conference, came to the
forefront soon after the opening of
that great assembly today. Speeches
had been made by the presiding Off
Ger, Premier Facta of Italy, Mr.. Bar
thou, representing France; Premier
Lloyd George of Great Britain; DIR.
Wirth of Germany, and spokesmen of
Japan and Belgium, all of a concilia-
tory nature and voicing adherence to
the Cannes resolutions upon which
the present catherine is based.
Mr.. Lloyd George had said that all
the delegates met on footing of
equality, provided they accepted the
conditions set f.. tn, which, briefly
declared that countries must not re-
pudiate their contracts; that they
must not wage war on the institu-
tions of another; that they must not
engage in aggressive operations
against others and that the people of
one country should be entitled to JUS
tice in the court of another.
George Chicherin, Russian soviet
foreign minister, in speaking for his
delegation, announced their adher-
ence to the resolutions and then de-
clared that Russia was ready to sup.
port any proposal that would avoid
war or tighten the burden of arma-
ment.
M. Barthou Immediately protested
and declared with some heat that
France would absolutely refuse to dis
cuss the question of disarmament at
this conference.
Mr.. Lloyd George fastened to in
tervene, and in his contention that
disarmament could not be taken up,
certainly not before a peace basis
had been reached at Genoa, he was
supported by Signor Facta. Eventu-
ally the discussion on this point ceas-
ed after M. Chicherin said the Rus
sian delegation would bow to the col
lective will of the conference.
The clash between the Russian and
French delegates disclosed the fact
that disarmament is not on the agen-
da and that therefore this matter is
not to be taken up for consideration
The keynote of Lloyd Georges
speech was peace. He made a pow
erful appeal to the delegates to work
in unison for the restoration of good
relations and normal economic condi-
tins throughout the world. He. be-
lieved that if the conference was sue
|cessful in it's achievements the
Omitted States would not merely
come in but come in gladly"
The. Italian ngsmisr, Xh9 was vas, elect sSt;
ference, was equally earnest in his
desire for unanimity and promised
the aid of Italy in carrying out any
resolution likely to guarantee peace
and stability among the nations.
M. Barthou pledged the loyal sup
port of France in whatever the con-
ference might do to put into effect
the task of reconstruction and good
relationship which it has mapped out
