'sTARDUST-FANNIE HURST
CONTEST TO GO TO THE
WORLDS BIGGEST JURY

Fannie Hurst claims that an injus-
tice was done to her story, Star
dust" which has ben produced by the
Hope Hampton Productions, Inc, for
release as a First National atrac-
ton.
According to Miss Hurst, the pic
ture which somewhat differs from
the story as written by the author,
will lessen the interest in her novel,
because of the changes that have been
made from the original.
Both the author and the producer
have come to an agreement, and in
stead of trusting their case to the de-
cision of twelve men, have decided to
bring their case before a jury of the
whole American people on the basis
of this question: as 'Stardust' as a
book, or as a picture, more interest
ing, and have the changes in the
screen version improved the original
story?" The question is being pre-
sented in the form of a contest to
create interest in this novel form of
jury duty.
The local contest headquarters will
be the Rialto theater, where the pic
ture will be shown Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday.

CARPET TACK TRIPS
"GET-RICH-QUICK" WAL
LINFORD INTO FORTUNE

Sir Isaac Newton formulated his
law of gravitation after he saw an
apple fall from tree under which
he was sitting. j. Rufus Wallingford
got his big idea for fame and for
tune when his toe caught in the worn
carpet at the Palace Hotel in Battles
burg. The complications resulting
from this idea are admirably set forth
in "Get- Rich-Quick Wallingford," a
Cosmopolitan production for Para
mount, adapted from the play by
George M. Cohan, which will be the
feature at the Virginia theater Friday
and Saturday.
1t is necessary for Wallingford to
find something that will interest the
wealthy citizens of Battlesburg. He
hits on the carpet tack, with covering
to match the color of the carpet. This
appeals to the townspeople, who in
vest all their savings. It is a great
surprise for Wallingford himself
when he is deluged with orders for
the tacks.
sect Rich-Quick" should prove as
popular In motion picture as he was
in the play, because the story lends
itself admirably to production on the
screen.
j. Rufus Wallingford is played by
Sam Hardy, and Norman Kerry is
'Blackie" Daw, Wallingford's confed-
crate. Doris Kenyon makes q
charming heroine in the part of Wal
lingford's private secretary with
whom he falls in love.

ATTITUDE OF THE
PUBLIC PRESS
TOWARD LABOR
From the Golden Age)

II is a matter Of history that the
Interehurch World Movement was
ruined because il had a committee
which dared to tell the truth on the
steel question. That committee fur
nished the proof that the steel trust
maintains the twelve-hOur day,
wages below the comfort level, re-
fuses collective bargaining and adj
administration, and employs dstec-
tives, spies and thugs. Moreover, at
ter the Movements" financial ruin
for telling these truths the men VINO
wrote the report brayely maintain
that they told the truth-and they
did.
The report tells some things TO
make an American hang his head In
shame that We live in land IN
which shuch things could be possible.
Among other interesting things the
report records the simple facts that
tie newspapers of Pittsburgh during
the steel strike made no effort to tell
the truth. Without exception they re-
fused to discuss the causes OF the
strike or TO tell the truth about the
number of men on strike.
The Newspapers falsely stated that
the mills were running in full six
weeks before they actually were.
When there were six hundred men at
work in the Cambria mills the head
lines of the Pittsburgh Post, Chron-
icle-Telegraph, Sun and Press re-
ported that between seven and eight
thousand men had returned to work.
The Chronicle Telegraph and the Ga
zette- Times contained stories that the
strike was pro-German in its origin,
which was a lie.
Whenever the state constabulary
dubbed, shot or murdered strikers the
Pittsburgh newspapers reported
these outrages unfailingly as being
riots for which the victims were to be
blamedl Thus, when Nick Gratichini
was murdered by state cossacks, while
sitting i'm his dooryard with his baby
on his knee, the Pittsburgh Chronic
le-T Telegraph reported that he was
skillfully picked off by troopers while
sniping.
In another instance In which a
woman was hit by a bullet while
standing on a street corner, and a
male companion standing by her was
hlicu, tile ittSpuIBH 1853 pihecu
story of how brave state trooper
had killed a striker by firing at the
flame of the hidden sniper's revolver
The man killed was not a sniper, was
not hidden, did not shoot, and had no
revolver from which flame could
come.
The report shows that the steel
workers we're living in congested and
intolerable surroundings, most of
them working 10 to Ia hours daily,
many with a 24-hour shift every two
weeks, and large numbers working
every day in the week. Always, in
every instance, the grievances, state
ments and testimony of the strikers
were presented in the newspapers UNI
der such headlines or in such context
as to convey the impression that what
the workers desired was unreasonable
and that their grievances were imae
mary. Every one of The Pittsburgh
papers during the strike used its IN
fluence in the support of policies
which were against the general pub
| lie interest.

IMPROPER FOOD
is BLAMED FOR
DULL CHILDREN

Jacksonville, Fla.--Children are de-
linquent and back ward in sheir school
tndies because of improper nourish-
ment, is the opinion of a member of
the American Social Hygiene Asso-
citation, who attended the annual
prison conference recently held in this
city. Such children are easily dis
couraged, and disbursement is a
most fertile soil for the growth of
anti-social conduct. This hygienist
agrees that labor is right in its Wig
orous protest against child labor, and
holds with the trade union movement
that the child should be kept at
school until at least 10 years of age,
and be given a chance to enter upon
the battle of life properly equipped
with sound body, an active brain
and a sensible education.
Strong men and women are reared
from well-fed, properly nourished
children-children who live an actual
child life free from the travail of
poverty and the necessity of support
ing themselves by going to work at a
tender age In factory, shop or mine
poyS anu glflSi says TINS trained
observer Of social conditions, "must
have more wholesome, directed play
and must be removed from depressing
environment. Children so reared de-
veiop strong character, self-reliance
ard Initiative These are the quail.
ties which make a nation great, and
no prospect of profit from exploiting
child labor should be permitted to out
weigh the enormous benefits that
shall accrue to society through the
proper protection of its children.

NEW JERSEY CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE OPPOSED TO
THE AMERICAN" PLAN

New York-Flat opposition to the
"open shop" and the so-called amer
lean plan" is contained in a report
adopted by the executive committee
of the New Jersey Chamber of Com
merce, which urges that the workers
democratic aspiration be allowed to
function through their own organiza-
tons, and adds that employers
should confer frequently with union
representatives.
"a movement is now on foot" the
report continues, which, mis-using
the name of open shop and 'Ameri-
can plan,' is smashing labor organiza-
tons throughout the country and
forcibly deunionizing the workmen.
Together with the abuses of unionism,
this movement is destroying the con-
structive substance Of unionism.
Campaigns of this nature are leading
to oppression by employers and are
playing into the hands of revolution
airy elements

CITIZENS COMMITTEE is
WILLING TO MEET WITH
"WELL-BEHAVED" WORKER
(By The Federated Press)

Chicago.--In a full sized two-col-
umn editorial-advertisement in the
morning papers, the so-called Citi-
zens' Committee of "open shop" en-
ployers announce that, although the
building trades unions with the excep-
ton of the carpenters have agreed to
abide by the Lands award, the en-
ployers will not treat with the unions.
They are willing, however, to treat
with any meek, well-behaved worker
who will promise to be as good as he
can be-
"Any individual workman of these
ten unions" the advertisement states,
"who applies for work at the joint
employment offices of the two con-
tractors associations and who will
agree that he will work at the Lam
dis scale, will work peacefully with
open shop workmen, and will not
strike, will be given employment in
his turn after preference has been
given to those workmen now en-
ployed."
Union officials said they did not
believe Chicago employers would be
fanatical enough to hire non-union
'floaters" when skilled union work
men were available, and expressed
confidence in an early settlement on
virtual union basis.

COMPULSORY LABOR
DENIAL OF LIBERTY,
SAYS MORRISON

1.-THE great American labor move
ment must prevent the enactment of
laws which will prohibit a group of
individuals from ceasing work when
they so desire. The fact that we can
cease work as group stamps us
free men," That was the declaration
of Frank Morrison, secretary of the
American Federation of Labor, at a
meeting of representatives of labor
and other citizens in jamestown, N.
Y, among them the mayor, clergy
man and business men. Afterwards
he spoke at the Eagles Temple free
forum, and upon invitation of the
pastor of one of the leading churches
of the city addressed large congre-
cation in the edifice. "There was a
time" said Secretary Morrison, adj
dressing the citizens meeting, "when
thought that if organized labor ever
had million members it would have
but in my 25 years of service have
seen it grow from 100000 to more
than four millions. No other organ
ization has done more to bring about
good will among mankind than the
labor union"
Asking those who are not members
of labor organizations to judge the
labor movement by its ideals, by its
achievements for the good of human
ity and by the facts, the federation
secretary declared:
There is at present going on one
of the greatest conspiracies that ever
existed. Starting before the armis-
tice, it has for its purpose the cleo
ton of congressman and legislators
TO enact laws to impede the progress
of the labor movement. The Declar-
alton of Independence says that we
are all born free and equal, with GER
tain inalienable rights-life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness. All are
entitled to liberty, workers as well as
| financiers and lawyers.
What certain employerse want is
legal machinery to prohibit US from
ceasing work; to establish group
slavery by compulsory labor. They
have already started to do il with in
dustrial court laws, injunctions, in
corporation laws and compulsory ar
bitration. Group slavery is not new.
1t was tried four thousand years ago
in China. As trade union We are
opposed to any law which prohibits
| an iHulNluudl OF group Oh NOfkeTS
from ceasing work. The American
Federation of Labor is opposed to
compulsion of any kind which limits
human freedom.
Reciting the history of compulsory
arbitration in Australia, New Zeal
and and Canada, showing that these
laws had no effect in preventing
strikes because the strikes resulted
from efforts of employers to break
the spirit of the workers by enacting
"can't-strike" laws, the speaker de-
clared:
1--WE are having a crisis in this
country which we must meet. We
are going to meet it and we are GO
ing to march forward step by step.
The result of the movement to de-
! stroy labor unions has been to. in
crease their membership. The labor
movement wants to see the time when
the highest ideals of man will be
practiced by our government and by
the workers of our country; the labor
movement wants to see the time when
all the boys and girls in this nation
will have an equal opportunity for an
education and training to enable them
to do their share of the worlds work

RAILMEN DO MORE
WORK UNDER THE
EIGHT-HOUR RULE
"a. F. of L. News servieel

Washington.-Efficiency Of rail-
road labor increased after the pas
sage Of the eight-hour Law. This was
the declaration of Walker d. Hines,
former director general Of railroads
under the United States railroad ad-
ministration, testifying before the
senate interstate commerce commit
tee. He also presented figures to
prove that railroad labor was more
efficient during the war, showing that
in 1920 a phenomenal traffic was sue
cessfully handled.
The basis of labor measurement Is
called traffic units per man hour"
In 1915, before the eight-hour sys-
TEN became effective, these units
were represented by 50; in 1917, I'M
der the eight-hour system, the units
jumped TO SO; i'm 1919 they rose to
100, and in 1920 to l0l.
The former director-general said
that the railroads were in a deplor-
able state when they were taken over
by the government, and were greatly
improved under federal control. Mr..
Hines pointed out that under federal
control the roads were operated by
the same practical men who operated
them before the government took
them over and who are operating
them at present. In a report to Carl
r. Gray, director of operations of the
railroad administration, which Mr..
Hines quoted, the statement was made
that zone of the prime reasons why
the government had to take posses
sion of the railroads was the general
ly bad condition of the locomotives
and cars" The report set forth that
the conditions were so bad that re-
pair tracks and terminals we're con-
gested with bad order cars and shops
and roundhouses were SO crowded
with locomotives that proper facili-
ties for maintaining the equipment
no longer available"
1.-THE notion that the railroads were
broken down by the government is
wholly contrary to the facts" observ-
ed Mr.. Hines.
Mr.. Hines is a practical railroad
man, having had large directing ex-
perience with the Louisville & Nash
vile and Santa Fe railroads.
