MCLEAN SAYS WORKERS WANT TARIFF BIIJ, PASSEn

Ten international labor unions and over 300 individual labor unions in all sections of the United States have peti- tioned congress to speed the enactment of the pending tariff bill.
 This announcement was made Monday by Senator George P. Mclean. of Con necticut member of the senate finance committee, for the purpose of showing the widespread interest among working men and women in the tariff debate in in congress.
 Senator McLean's statement follows
 Ten international labor unions and over 300 individual labor unions from all parts of the United States have pc titioned congress to speed the enactment of the pending tariff bill. This does not include the thousands of petitions which individual members of the senate have received from employees of factories or shop committees. This is almost entire ly the voice of union labor.
 Despite the statements made and constantly repeated that there is no age of a tariff bill at this time. the fol- lowing partial list of labor organizations which have petitioned congress. will prove to anyone who wishes to be fair and face the facts that the great ma l jority of workers in the United States men and women producers, want this tariff bill.
 1 Tn a recent letter to President Hard ing and members of the senate finance committee ten international brother hoods, said:
 Representing thousands of skilled American wage earners, a large percent age of whom served their country or the blood-stained fields of Europe anC who on their return to their homes have found it impossible to obtain em ployment, we again reiterate Uu, L5sM' for the enactment of laws by congress that will adequately protect all wag earners of our country against the los of employment through any industria invasion on the part of the products 0 any other nations. We believe that an, fair minded person will admit tha thousands of our American workmel are idle today solely because of the in crease in the importations of merchan disc from foreign countries

The strand.

We rubbed our eyes as the first few reels Of The Wonderful Thing wal thrown on the screen at the Strand the atre yesterday ,o make certs'a that tho program gave Norma Ta.nq e as the star. We had feeling q t despits the fact that the ,eading cils lcter cer- tainly looked like Norma. i was her sister Constance who waa rlsying the part of Jacqueline BoEgs. for he strong comedy was carried out SO dslic.ousF Then came the scene where Jacquelins discovers that Donald Manner5y. whom she loved devotedly. married her for her money, and then all doubts Vanish- ed. for no one except Norma Talmadgs could have carried through the emotion al scene so convincingly.
 We haven't a doubt but what the pic- ture-going public will find The Wonder ful Thing the most pleasing vehicle in which Miss Talmadge has yet appeared. She plays the role Of Jacqueline Boggs. whose father is the hog king of Amer ica. She has been reared in a French convent. and during a visit to England she falls in love with Donald Mannerby. ] the eldest son of a very aristocratic but | impoverished English family. Donald, l despising himself as a cad. marries her | because her money is essential to keep his younger brother out of a disgrace l full scrape. She has an ideally happy time until she learns that her husband has married her for her money. Don- aid. however has learned to love her de- votedly. and the scene. mentioned before. in which she tells him she is leaving rim, is as strongly dramatic and emo- tional as anyone could wish to see. That the story comes to a happy ending is to be expected. but the ending Is decidedly clever.
 Mrs. Lydig Hoyt. the young New York society matron. who makes her debut as a screen actress in the production. shows herself talented in the role of CaL therine Mannerby Truesdale. Harrison Ford is his pleasing self as Donald Ns-- nerby, and others in a cast Of distinc- ton are Howard Truesdsls. Robert Ag- new, Ethel Fleming, Mabel Bert.

has been struggling since April to pass a protective tariff in the interest of American workers but progress has been slow because of a protected democratic filibuster and a campaign of misrepre- senation by the importing interests who are flooding the country with false statements about the tariff and the cost of living.
 The republican majority, however. in tends to fight the opposition no matter how long it takes because We are t.s- termined to pass the Fordney- -McCumber bill before congress adjourns. The United States cannot be prosperous un- less the producers nave work and can prosper and the petition which have been received from labor shows that the working men and women of the country are aroused to the danger and demand a protective tariff. If congress l legislates to make it possible for the people of this country who want tc work, to find profitable employment against any kind of foreign competition every consumer will benefit by a wide i distribution of prosperity.
