reels of film were destroyed The picture machine also appears to have been ruined but strange as it may seem, the rectifer tube in the operating room was not broked CT otherwise injured and the wiring was not seriously injured in that part of the building, showing plain V that the fire did not start there. That the heat in the lobby was in tense. is indicated by charred door casings and a melted light globe hanging close to the ceiling. Several complete programs of films were de stroyed but a number of reels in tin boxes in the box office escaped serious injury.
 Most of the seats in the main part Of the theater escape injury except for the damage that may have been done by water. But the screen at the front of the theater is Q wreck and many of the player piano rolls are ruined. It is not known how seriously the piano is injured.
 Very little damage was done a: the stage end of the building. w1ich was protected by the curtain and a partition.

Aerial Trespass.

ownership Of land is reckoned as ex.
tending downward to the earth's CEN
ter and upward to the limits of the
universe. if there are any limits. In
other words. metaphorically, to the
two antipodal realms of the future
after death. On that basis. it is a tres
pass to burrow under mans boun-
dairy and trespass also to fly over it.
Not until quite recently has it been
possible to commit trespass in the air
save by balloons. But now this offense
is frequently possible, and case has
just arisen in which it has occurred.
At Punxsutawney, Pa. two aviators
have been fined 81 apiece and costs
by a justice OF the peace on a charge
of trespassing over the land of a
farmer living near that town. 1t seems
that these two flyers have been Civ.

They refused to regard his notice and

a single case aviators will be subject
to penalties on all occasions and IN

Is that the federal law Is necessary to
protect the rights Of the aviators as
well as of property owners, and also
state laws drafted in harmony with
the federal statute.
Plainly it would be impossible to de-
velop aviation If any flyer might, upon

practical matter of course. this would
not apply to long.distance. cross
country flyers at high altitude. But it
might easily apply to aviators cover

The lack Of law on this subject is
being more and more seriously felt as
aviation becomes more highly de-
veloped. That in the course of few
years commercial air routes will be
established is not to be questioned. 1t
will be greatly to the advantage of the
country to hasten this process. But
such cases as that at Punxsutawney

Reopen the Mines.

Efforts by the government to bring
about settlement Of the mine strike
through arbitration have failed. and
ment to carry through its resolution
to protect the public from the terrible
consequence Of a fuel famine.
Il therefore invite YOU" President
Harding told the operators, Ito return
to your mine properties and resume
operations
That invitation is a command. and
being a command it carries with it the
assurance that all the forces of the
government will be called upon to af-
ford protection to mine properties
where operations are resumed. 1t is
step short of seizure and operation OF
the mines by the government. If the
mine owners, given ample protection
for their properties and for men who
are willing to work. can produce coal
sufficient for the country's needs. the
undesirable alternative Of operation by
the government may be avoided. But
the people must and shall have coal.
To that the government is irrevocably
pledged. and there will be no timidlty
about taking whatever steps may be
come necessary to fulillment.
Neither the miners nor the opera
tors could quite bring themselves to
believe that the people would support
the government in drastic measures.
They ought to realize now that they
were mistaken. Gov. Sproul voiced
the sentiments of an overwhelming
number of the American people when
he told the President that 'Pennsyl-
vania pledges immediate and continu-
Gus support to the federal government.

Such a ringing declaration from the

is timely, and the governors of other

Why not others? But the day for the

Evidently Emma wants to work her

day making the trip across the sea to
her old haunts in New York. where
she was for some time high priestess

ent that gate is closed. In Germany
she is seemingly not popular, else she

sion to England. Other countries will

Force Is Forbidden"

In a sketch of Bert NJ Jewell the
chairman Of the railway department
of the A. F. l.. and leader of the pres
ent strike Of the shop craftsmen. that
has been printed in The Star, the fol-
lowing example Is given Of his instruc-
tions and messages to his followers
in response to request for words of
encouragement:
We are opposed to all violence. One
hundred men are not needed to get a
single individual off the job. Two men
will serve as we'll. The mob Is an evil.
a detriment to the strikers cause. Let
two men seek out the man on the job
and talk to him quietly. persuasively
and earnestly. The truth and friend
| ly argument will accomplish results
impossible with force. Force is for
bidden
This is the soundest of doctrine. the
that it is never respected and obeyed.
No one could ever possibly object to
quiet, persuasive and earnest argu-
ment to induce a man who has taken
the place Of striker to quit his job.
But for every such argument there
are hundreds of cases of hustling,
threatening and beating. If two men
come up alongside of a strikebreaker
as he quits his job in the evening. or
as he goes to work in the morning
and tell him to beat it" they are
earnest and persuasive. but they are
not particularly friendly. There is an
unspoken language of menace, too,
which the man who is working per-
fectly understands.
Force is forbidden" that is the
| slogan of the strike. But look at the
country today Note the attacks upon
guards and upon shop workers. the
shooting Of sheriffs and foremen, the
dynamiting Of bridges and the inter
ference by mobs of strikers with the
work of wrecking crews seeking to
re-establish traffic. Whence comes
that force? From sympathizers?
Hardly Sympathizers are only in evil
dence when a mob forms in town to
hustle workmen. to derail street cars
or to stone buildings. These acts are
rot spontaneous. They are planned
deliberately and carried out with or
ganization. and the sympathizer has
no part in them. They are the work
of strikers, the men to whom Jewell
addresses his words of admonition.
1t is perfectly we'll known when
such kilograms are written that they
will be disregarded that force will be
applied. that workers will be hustled
and beaten and that other deeds of
violence will be committed. Why. then.
the camouflage, the pretense? Is there
one form of instructions for publica-
ton and another for action?
The whole point Of this matter is
that in loosing hundreds of thousands
of men from labor in strike forces
of disorder are automatically loosed
as well. and that fact is known in ad-
vance of the issue Of strike orders.
Violence is a fixed. assured factor in
every strike and those who give. the
orders for a strike become responsii lie
when they sign them.
