A TRUE INCIDENT IN CO-OPERA,
TON.
(By JAMES LORD, President, Min.
ing Department, A. F. of L.

ing Department, A. +. of Id
In the early development of the
Rochdale cooperative stores in ILL
nois many peculiar experiences were
met with, of which the following is
a fair sample:
The development of coal mining in
Southern Illinois dates from very re-
cent times. These wonderful seams
of coal had almost lain dormant. As
large developments took place, the
field being fully organized, inevitably
the cooperative idea became evident.
1t happened that very promising
cooperative was operating at West
Frankfort. This is thriving town
and most promising coal center. All
the stores there We're doing rushing
business.
One day a commercial traveller, in
making the rounds of his business
acquaintances, found himself very
pleasantly invited to meeting of the
merchants of the town. In the meet
ing he was very cordially told of the
high esteem in which he was held by
the business interests, but that they
had learned that he had on that day
closed large order with the local
cooperative people which had caused
deep reflection on the part Of his
friends (themselves), and lin all
kindness they informed him that he
was perfectly within his rights in do
ing what he did, that "this was free
country, ETC., and all that" but they
felt it was due him to know that if he
again supplied this cooperative with
goods, he could make the co-opera-
tive business his entire interest in
that particular town, as there would
be nothing else of interest there for
him. They did not believe in coer-
cion, or anything like that" but this
was their position, carried by vote,
too"
Now, this salesman was an old
timer, and fully knew what this meant
to him. He also had some of the
spirit of man left, and the habit of
thinking for himself. He thanked
them graciously, took his way to the
cooperative, gathered the leading
members together and gently broke
the news to them. He signed up am
other larger order, urged them to
give the facts the widest publicity,

them to his capacity.
A mass meeting was called and a
representative crowd gathered in the
hall. The state officials of the United
Mine Workers at that time addressed
them, showing how the same loyalty
was necessary here as it was in the
affairs of their union, the member
ship of the cooperative was doubled
that night, and the salesman wired
the meeting that his wholesale house
would stand back of him to the limit.
This was more or less the turning
point of the splendid development of
co-operatives in that field. 1t aroused
the people to sense of loyalty to
each other, and in the Immediately
following developments several of
these erstwhile genial business men
were compelled, through bad trade in
one OF the most fourishing localities
in the State, to "fold their tents like
the Arab, and silently steal away"

DAUGHERTY SEES
THINGS" LABOR
FOES GET HINT
(By A. F. of L. News service.)

Washington. = Attorney General
Daugherty is quoted in the public
press as "unofficially" declaring his
belief in the existence of "conspired
or inspired" relationship between the
coal and railroad strikes, but is yet
unable to obtain sufficient proof to
begin legal proceedings against the
conspirators.
While this statement is a sad COM
mentary on the attorney generals
secret service system, headed by that
great" detective, William ]. Burns,
the statement is sufficient for the
subsidized press, citizens alliance
press agents and publicity bureaus Of
manufacturers associations.
These institutions will now pro-
coed to manufacture sentiment along
the lines suggested. This sentiment
can then be capitalized IL it is neces-
sary to use the mailed fist.

WOULD LIKE
TO HAVE LABOR
WAGES REDUCED

Warren J. McCray, governor of In
diana, in writing to Twin City un-
ionist, says:
Personally, want to see labor
well paid. | realize that without our
laboring people happy and contented
and without them receiving wages
sufficient to live comfortably and lay
by something for rainy day, we are
not doing our full duty by them. On
the other hand, they must be willing
to take some reduction the same as
the farmer and all other classes Of
employment.
81 quite agree with you that the
reduction should commence at the
head where, perhaps, it should be
more drastic than at the other end of
the SCALE"
Notice that he says labor should
take reduction with the farmers and
all other classes of employment. Well,
farmers and all other classes of en-
ployment have taken big reductions
since 1920, but government reports
are that railroads have made net
earnings of lis per cent more than
that of 1920.

Why "Spinster7U

The term "spinster" applied to an
unmarried woman is an actual refer
enee to the spinning wheel In olden
times women were prohibited from
marrying until they had spun a full
set OF bed furnishings; thus, before
their marriage they spent much time
at the spinning wheel and were,
therefore. known as "spinsters.'

FACT. on FABLE?

Here is something we can't under
stand:
Each day railroad officials declare
that service on their roads is APP
preaching normally, and each day a
few more trains are taken off.
Understand, we are not disputing
the word of the official, but we would
like to know why those trains are be,
ing discontinued, and why any old
thing can get a high-priced Job as
strikebreaker?
We're strong for consistency, there
fore we would like to know the why's
and wherefores of these conflicting
statements and facts.

the time intervening, admirers of these two singers want to make cer- tain that they had seats for this con cert.
 It is because Miss Garrison and MT. WerTenrath are so popular in Bridgeport as singers for Victor rec ords that MT. Steinert went to great trouble to bring them here in a joint concert. Tickets selling five months in advance of the concert only proves how eager Bridgeporters are to see their favorites in person.
 Of Miss Garrison a noted critic has said: Her recital was the most de- lightful bit of singing heard since the golden days of Marcella Sem brich.''
 Another famous critic has said of MT. Warreprath:
 His sfDSing rests upon the firm foundation of good technic. He has no difficulty in developing the plan of an interpretation He can do what he wishes with a voice which ranges from big ringing volume to the most delicate head tones- His phrasing is always poetic as well as musical and his diction beyond praise. And this $ the secret-he has imagina- tiOn.''

GREATEST LOVE IDOI,
 IS DICK BARTEELMESS

Richard Earth elmess has won the title of ''tl1e worlds greatest Love IdoP' through no other channel of life than the cinema screen.
 We have heard much about the matinee idol.'' He has been legion in the theatres of the world. But he was circumvented by the conventions of the theatre and it's hnitatiors until the career opened up new worlds to conquer.
 And so it comes in the twentieth century that Richard Barthelmess re .reives more love missiles and words of poetic endearInent, than any other man upon the mimicking stage or si- lent screen.
 At the Griffith studios on Flagler Island off Oriental Point at Mamar oneck, there comes to the post office 8 sack of mail daily containing sell dom less than five hundred and many mornings more than a thousand let ters addressed to Richard Barthel- mess.
 These messages contain invariably phrases of the widest aduIence, while the proposals for ''l--3 heart and hand are countless. Praise for his heroic work in such Griffith produc- tionS as Broken Blossoms" Scarlet Days" "The Idol Dancer,'' '"rhe Love Flower and now his wonderful char acterization of David Bartlett in Way Down East" is legion in these letters Poems are written about him and ever

It's a lit tie act of appreciation on the part of Barthelmess but when the photo bills and postage are added monthly it runs into a snug sum. MT. Barthel- mess is now appearing at Polls in Way Down East"

Lillian Gish, who appears in the feminine lead in D. w. Grifhth's new est production, Way Down East, which is now being shown at Polls IS the happy owner of an odd Paris fash ion in coats

In The Theatres
POLES.

..
 D. W. Griffith'S masterpiece, "Way Down East, now playing at Poll S, is a picture that needs no boosting it speaks eloquent1y for itself. Crowds at every performance attest its note worthy popularity.
 People who live in New England know how true to type are the char acters in this epochal play. Every body in the story is Yankee to the core and it is because the mirror is held up to these natural, human folk with such fidelity that fFWay Down East has such a powerful appeal It must be rer1e bered that with al it's intrinsic dramatic qualities this great 'hotoplay is also a sermon or rather a
 ighly interesting lessen in the single standard for both men and women. II-fS sex slant is handled with such sonsummate art and delicacy by the lifted Griffith that there is mo offence -Hhatever in the picturizatiOn of the relations between Anna. M ore, the un- fortunate unnlar rried mother and Len FOX Sanderson, the villainous scion of wealthy family. The usual comic -yDes peculiar to rural New England also have an important share in mak- ing the piece a success and in supply ing the always welcome humorous color and escape from the sometimes too drab recital of the woes and wor- ries of the people in this common place. everyday pastoral world.
 The most fam ouS four in vaudeville, he 'fWay Down East Quartette, is feature of the engagement of this notable cinema production These SOur wonderful singers are the per sonification of melody and harmony. They present beautifully staged pro- ogue and during the presentation of he feature sing beautiful old-time numbers with immense success. The 20-piece symphony orchestra also has a vital part in making the engagem ent of Way Down East the supreme success it is. The work of this fine nf ig
 A laugh a minute is the promise held forth for those who see Break fast in Bed'' at the Lyric this week, but this speed rate is exceeded through most of the play, sometimes almost at the rate of a laugh a sec ond. This may hardly seem possi- ble, and yet it appears to be the case, judging from the continual merri- ment of the audience, which starts almost as soon as the play opens and never lets up till the curtain drops.
 Many Lyric fans have comment ed favorably on the manner In which this fast-going play is pre- sented. Director Steele was led in putting on Breakfast in Bed' by Harlan Briggs, Bridgeport's favorite comedian. MT, Briggs played in the original version of "Breakfast in Bed" under the management Of Al Woods, and in a succession of other Woods bedroom hits, so the Lyric presentation, it can be seen, follows the original in practically every de- tail.

 "No.'' was the surprising answer. 'Tve never seen myself on the screeni"
 This is a remarkable admission considering that thousands of Yersons would give much for the privilege of seeing their own faces on the sill yer sheet. The role of Nanny is pathetic one and the elderly actress has done it full justice. Penryhn Stanlaws produced the photoplay which will be shown at the Park thea tre now. George Hackathorne plays opposite the star.

EMPIRE.

For the benefit of those thousands of ambitious authors who flood the big movie companies with all kinds of motion picture stories, Viola Dana, the vivicious little Metro star whose latest picture, The Match Breaker, a. Dallas M. Fitzgerald production, will be shown at the Empire theatre today, tells what kind of stories she thinks stand the best chance of being produced.
 Miss Dana does not believe the best results can be obtained by just writ ing the story regardless of the per- son who is supposed to play the part.
 "The best photoplays today are those written for the star,' emphat- ical1y declares Miss Dana.

WEST END.

A vibrant story of life and love in the northwest wilderness of the Cana dian Rockies is told in "Snowblind '' a Reginald Barker production for GoIdwyn, which will be shown at the West End Theatre tonight. The au- thor is Katherine Newlin Burt, who also wrote ''The Branding Iron" Rus sell Simpson heads the distinguished cast which includes Mary Alden, Cul- len Landis and Pauline Stark
 The story deals with the love of Slyvia (Pauline Stark) for a fugitive from the law, Hugh Garth Russell Simpson,, who brought her to his cabin when he found her wandering about, temporarily blinded by the snow. Gradually her affection is transferred to Pete (Cullen Landis) Hugh's younger brother. The strug- gle in the girls heart between her wandering affection. and the jealousy of Hugh pitted against the ma gnan- innity of his younger brother, develop into a series of powerful dramatic situations that are admirably carried out by the four sterling actors who tell the story.
 Reginald Barker has again pro duced another of those nlassivep ho- toplays which have won him an in ternational reputation.

morning and will leave tomorrow
for Dutch Flat, where he will en-

L. D. Hubbard has let the con-

Grassi, sub-contractor, is laying the
stone foundation.
The most costly fire that ever
visited Tonopah took place yester-
day morning at o'clock and as a
result three handsome business
blocks are now a mass of ashes and
tottering walls stand where magnifi-

before. The loss is estimated by
competent judges to be between
three hundred thousand and half a

LETTING
RUSSIA WAIT

Following the bolshevist demand
at Genoa for money, which other
governments would not lend unless
the socialistic delirium came to an
end in Russia, with rights Of prop
erty ownership restored, contract
obligations recognized and payment
of debts to other countries under
taken, the repetition Of the pre-
posterous bolshevist demand before
the Hague conference seems un-
likely to be granted. The powers
have made 1t clear what Russia must
do If further loans are to be con-
sidered.
From the report made by the ex-
pert commissioned by the powers
it is shown that the bolshevist mis-
rule is about at the end of its
string. Its wallpaper" rubles have
become worthless that the govern
ment's purchasing power is gone
On top of it is the admission BY
soviets of their inability to recon
struct Russia, and that they look tt
help from the "captalistic govern.
ments" which formerly their social
list dream had intended to over
throw.
With these undisputed facts be
fore the Hague conference, the wal
shows clearly for dealing with ths
Russian situation. This means let
ting the bolsheviki wait until Il
sinks into their understandings that
they must make restitution by re
turning property taken from French
and Belgian owners. They mus
protect the rights of all foreigners
in Russia.
