Rate Increase On Live
Stock Is Suspended

Serious crippling OF the live
stock industry throughout the
South and virtual disaster to it
in Kentucky, were forestallci
Tuesday by the Interstate Com
merce Commissions suspension
OF the proposed increased rate
schedule, according to the views
OF Louisville representatives Of
livestock and farming interests,
says the Courier Journal.
The suspension is the result Of
a fight on the proposed increas-
ed rates which has been waged
by the Southern Livestock Asso-
citation in cooperation with other
interested organizations. w. 5.
Bell, of Louisville, is president Of
the livestock association and
Graddy Cary is its counsel.
The American Farm Bureau
Federation, the Railroad Com
mission OF Kentucky and num-
Der of other southern states AMI
the National Livestock Exchange
are among the organizations en-
listed against the raise. The
meat packers will also join in the
fight, it was said.
1t has been computed by E. l..
German, traffic manager for the
Bourbon Stockyards, that the in
crease would add $800,000 annu-
ally to the transportation bills %

Bourbon Stockyards.

THE PILL BOTTLE
PROVES DELIGHTFUL

The P1lav, "The Pill Bottle >
which was given at Mt. Zion
church Friday night, was a suc-
cess IN every way and those who
we're fortunate enough to attend
we're more than repaid for their
trouble. There seems to be an
unusual amount Of talent in the
Mt. Zion neighborhood and they
are also very fortunate in having
as leader Mrs. Robert Dunn,
who has been especially trained
in expression who is not only
very capable but also takes a
very great delight in this kind Of
work. This is not the first at

very much of a success.

Young lady of wealth and high
social standing after receiving a
medical education, devotes her
life to the work of relieving the
sick and distressed Of these very
unfortunate people. Her success
is so great that it is with difficult
ly that she is able to get these
natives to worship Christ instead
of the pill bottle which contains
the medicines which she gives
them.
Miss Virginia Gibbs, who play
ed the part of the young medical
missionary is able to put her soul
in the play that it is hard to real

Beer wagons and big horses went out of fashion at the same time, but in spite of this Cecil B. DeMille dis covered a huge black stallion which serves as mount for Thomas Meighan in the Roman bacchana1 episode of "Manslaughter-"
 Thanks to the equipment and cos tune, rider and horse appear to be approximately I6 feet high on the screen Meighan wears a barbaric costume surmounted by helmet sup porting an eagle which gives him many inches of height added to his. own full six feet
 In order to protect the workers and the set, the gaint horse was shod with heavy rubber boots" which served to lessen the effect of his iron shoes on the studio staging.
 Mounted on this great beast, MT Meighan leads horde of barbarians into the midst of Roman bacchana1 at which Leatrice Joy appears as the hostess.

INJUNCTION FOLLY
 AFFECTS PATRIOTISM
 SAYS CONGRESSMAN
Wickedness of Administration Matched By It, Declares
 Huddleston.

Washington, Sept 22-The wick edness of the administration course in securing an injunction against the shop men Is matched only by its folly, declared Congressman Huddleston
 ''The present administration is definitely and clearly aligned with the railroad executives for the purpose of driving the strikers back into the shops," he said. The administra- tion's entire course dealing with the coal and railroad strikes has consti- tuted series of sblunders of which this Is the most stupid.
 The injunction IS unprecedented in the history of American jurispru- dence; 1t goes to extremes hitherto unheard Of. That there is no war rant for 1t either in federal law or the constitution is obvious. It Is merely the intervention of the strong arm without law and without reason By the administration s1awlessness more harm has been done to American i'm crimes could possibly do. A lawless people are bad enough, a lawless ad- ministration IS infinitely worse
 "It is impossible that the men against whom such perverted legal action Is taken should continue to have the same respect for their gov ernment as formerly. The admins tration has run mad in tis effort to save the Wall street hnanciers-
 "It Is by~such tyrannic proceedings that men are provoked to rebellion. The situation calls for calmness on the part of the advisers of the work ing people, but it does not call upon them to surrender. On the other hand, the situation demands that all patriotic elements use all of their in huence upon the President to induce him to hold to moderate and consti- tutional methods"

CONNECTICUT POLL IS FOR AMENDMENT
 OF VOLSTEAD LAW
Women of State Among Nine Who Would Modify Present Pro-
 hibition Act.

The informal poll of the country as to the feeling on the prohibition law made by the Literary Digest has been completed and almost a milloin persons have expressed themselves on the matter Of these only 38.5 per cent have expressed themselves as favoring the continuance and strict enforcement of the law, while All per cent is for modification't and 2o.4 per cent for absolute repeal The vote indicates clearly that the claims of the prohibitionists that a majority of the country is for prohibition are false and that only about one-third of the country, and those mainly women, favor the law.
 The poll, which brought o22, ,383 ballots to the magazine was divided into three classes, the main poll, the women's poll and the factory poll The main poll was taken among people whose names were selected at random from telephone directories all over the country, but, realizing that this did not include fair proportion of women or factory workers, special polls were taken among those in three polls varied, the main poll and ton, the women the only class to favor enforcement and the factory workers favoring repeal
 The results showed that the women were the only class to favor enforce ment, the main poll and the factory workers being for modification. The largest percentage for repeal of the law came from the factory workers and the smallest from the women.

New York, Sept. 22.-The Diamond Match Company reports that clear profits for the past six months totaled $I,444,o88, after depreciation and oth- CT charges were met.
The Connecticut labor news., 1922-09-22

Connecticut was one of the nine states in the women's poll which favored modification, the others fav- bring strict enforcement. The states where the womens poll gave results similar to those in Connecticut were New Hampshire, New York, New Jersey, Wisconsin, Maryland, Louisi- ana, Arizona and Nevada.
 The vote for Connecticut follows the lines of the main poll, although polling greater percentage for modification and repeal and less for enforcement than the country as a whole The women's poll in this state shows that the advocates of modification boiled one-tenth of one per cent more than those favoring enforcement. The remainder of the discrepancy between the percentage for enforcement is placed with the forces for repeal, a greater percent age of Connecticut women favoring takin gthe law off the statute books than in other sections of the country taken together.
 The percentages for Connecticut are:
