AT THE QUEEN

That is the battle staged at the
Queen Theatre in Ethel Clayton's
picture Exit, the Vamp," which is
on exhibition there now. Miss Clay
ton is the young wife who puts to
.Tout the vampire who tries to wreck
her home.
Brought up to the minute. the
moral pointed out by the story that
man often wants a vampire for an
entree but he can't stand them as a
steady diet.
As Marion Shipley Ethel Clayton
Is a happy young wife and mother
who Is kept busy looking after the
details Of her home and children
without bothering so much with the
fads OF society. though she is by no
means staid or an uninteresting
person.
Marion's friend is Mrs. Willy
strong who somehow or other seems
TO be able TO vamp most any man on
whom her tickle affections rest.
Marion's husband is one Of the vast
army but Marion also gets in the
battle and the siren is forced to over

Queen Of Sheba. but was she not

Blythe
Miss Blythe's own life. by the way.
is Ike the romance OF a Bertha NJ
Clay heroine. Three years ago she
walked up Broadway broke and
hungry Today she is a motion pic
ture star. Three years ago. after
having spent what money she had
brought with her from Los Angeles,
her birthplace. she started down
town to lower Broadway to borrow
some money from a loan organiza-
ton that requires no security other
than the signatures OF eight or ten
milliOnaires, bank presidents and
landlords. When the formidable
document was presented to her Miss
Blythe took II dubiously. She was
certain that, alone In a big city. she
could never meet these people so
cially. She found herself wondering
II the loan company would take two
plumbers or three bricklayers in lieu
of one landlord. And as she walked
up Broadway even into Fifth avenue.
because she had no car fare, she
became suddenly aware OF a kindly
/ face beaming at her from bank
window.
Obeying an impulse, Miss Blythe
calmly walked into the bank, up tC
the desk where the gentle Billiken
sat and confded in him. There Is
as much romance in what followed
as there Is in the life OF Dick Whit
tington who became lord mayor, OF
Ben. Franklin, who walked into Phil
adelphla with a roll under his arm
and who would have needed a ten
ton truck to carry his roll II he had
lived to see the Saturday Evening
Post ne founded as II is today.
The elderly gentleman who smiled
wrote on a piece OF paper and asked
the girl to go back to the loan or
ranization. She did and got tho
money without further ado. Bu'
she did not get the name of her ben
efactor and to this day does no
know who he is.

PITTSBURGH. MAJ 2G.-A plea for
the public 70 stand behind and help the
motion picture producers in their
efforts TO maintain a clean moral tone
in film productions was voiced here
this morning by VIII H. Hays, presi
dent of the Motion Picture Producers
and Distributors of America, before an
audience at Carnegie Institute.
He declared he was entirely con-
vinced of the sincerity and earnestness
of the large producers and distributors
in the organization and he pledged his
hearers the best efforts Of his asso-
citation.
"While asking for your aid and CO.
operation,' said Mr. Hays, Il would like
to ask, too, that you judge us by our
actual performances rather than by
any promises We may make. We are
building this industry for years to
come for generations to come and
though our progress may seem perhaps
slow at the beginning, the results, we
are confident, Will be certain and per
manent."
Mr.. Hays stated that $500 600 900
year is paid in admissions to motion
pictures, and that the industry repre-
sents an investment Of $500 100000, EN-
ploying 10000 persons at annual sal
aries totaling $4,000, 900.

Operators Stand
Pat on Paw Cut in
Anthracite Field
Scale Conference Adjourns
for Week. With Feeling
Among Owners That Men
Will Recede From Demand

After another conference yesterday
between the anthracite operators com
mi:tee and the miners subcommittee ee
on scale, s D. Warriner. spokesman for
the operators, issued statement in
reply TO the refusal Of the men at
Thursdays conference to accept 2l
per cent wage cut.
The proposal Of the operators is
not subject 10 change unless IL can be
shown that il was wrong IN its premise
and conclusions Mr.. Warr.ner said.
The miners reply does not attem p.
TO challenge our statement of facts.
We cannot grant al increase in wages
We cannot agree TO a maintenance Of
present wages. We Viii insist or a re
duct.on approXmat.ng that laid down
in our offer. Any other course would
simply result in lnestimable hardship
TO the industry and to those 1t en-
ploys.'
Both Sides Rest for Week
Mr. Warmer announced that the
operators would reply formally to the
miners rejection OF the wage cut and
other demands contained IN the opera
tors proposal at a conference to be
held next Friday afternoon. Mean
while the week 8 recess Will be utilized
sociates on the latest developments in
the controversy which began April
and which appeared yesterday to have
reverted TO is original status, despite
feeling among the employers that the
miners Will not continue much longer
to hold out for a wage increase
Asked II the operators would stress
the arbitration feature OF their pro-
posal, which calls for fve-year con-
tract, with yearly adjustments as to
wages by conference represeLng both
sides, Mr. Warmer replied:
Il thing arbitration would be pretty
good. There are only two possible
answers--a strike, which we would all
deplore, or arbitration"
Blames Men for Situation
He said that the miners action left
the situation "in rather serious con
dition,' adding:
The miners leaders have certainly
got to realize that they can't set them
selves up as a preferred class at q
time when every phase of activity is
seeking level Of equalization, when
the laws Of supply and demand are
against an increase IN wages. We
don't think their paper constitutes an
answer to our proposal. They really
stated that they declined to consider or
discuss anything save an upward trend
of the wage scale
"We have insisted that if the men
expect to have steady time wages
have got TO come down. We TOLD them
that if the facts upon which our CON
illusions are based could be success
fully challenged or proved wrong we
would modify our position accord

Garment Workers
Win Moral Victory
Over Employers
Injunction Restraining Man
ufacturcrs From Break
ing Labor Hours Contract
Upheld by Appellate Court

officials of the International Ladies'
Garment Workers' Union are claiming
4 '"victory on principle" as the result
Of the action of the Appellate Division
yesterday in upholding the injunction
granted by Supreme Court Justice
Wagner, restraining the Cloak, Suit
and Skirt Manufacturers Protective
Association from violating a contract
entered into with the garment workers
and the Joint board Of the Cloak
Makers Union of this city. The order
was issued after q vote of four to one
restraining the defendant from taking
action toward abrogating the week
work system or increasing the labor
hours in their establishments during
the life Of the contract
The contract expires June |, so the
victory Of the UNIONS is regarded less
as an effective check on the employers
effort to abrogate the contract than as
moral triumph.
BENJAMIN Schlesinger. international
president of the Ladies Garment Work
ers' Union, said the unions fully ex-
pected Justice Wagncr's temporary in
junction to be upheld. Samuel Inter
myer presented the cause of the unions
as the attorney for Mr.. Schlesinger and
officials Of the joint board OF the Cloak
Makers Union.
The four justices who upheld the in
junction were Presiding Justice Clarke,
Alfred r Page. who wrote the opinion;
Walter Lloyd Smith and Samuel Green
baum. Justice Victor J. Bowling dis
sented, saying the plaintiffs had not
made out q sufficient case for pre-
liminary injunction.
Coincident with the Appellate Di-
visions ruling, Mr. Schlesinger an
nounced the formation Of an "emer-
gency committee composed Of the
managers Of the thirteen locals Of the
New York Ladies' Garment Workers
and members Of the executive commit
tee of the Cloak Makers Union to take
care of any situation which may de
velop with the expiration of the agree
ment on June /.
Announcement Of tho unions plans
will follow results of a conference with
the employers committee next Wednes
day evening. Unless an agreement is
made to extend the existing contracts
pending further negotiations or arbi-
traton. trouble is expected. as there
is no indication that either the unions
or the manufacturers will recede from
the positions they have held since the
controversy began.
