ASK PRESIDENT TO HELP WORKERS GET
 HIS OWN STANDARD
Maintenance of Way Officers Appeal for Justice for Underpaid
 Members.

Tn one of his addresses to Congress President Harding laid down this proposition as his conception of the standard that should be accorded American workers:
 "We must see that the wage earn CT is placed in an economically sound position. His lowest wage must be enough for comfort, enough to make his house home, enough to insure that the struggle for existence shall not crowd out the things truly worth living for"
 Believing that the President meant exactly what he said. F. F. Grable. grand president, and ]. C. S1nock, as sistant president, of the Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employees, have appealed to him in behalf of the 45o,ooo railway workers members of that organization who already have been thrust far below the standard set up, and who are now facing still further cuts that, if granted by the Railroad Labor Board, will leave the workers insufficient for their most meager necessities
 President Harding is urged by the union officials to use his influence with the Association Of Railway Ex- ecutivcs and the labor board to pre- vent an act of injustice that. would further impoverish these underpaid men

THE PALACE

Moran of the Lady Lefty" IS stirring tale of the sea which will be recalled by thousands Of readers of fiction as a most fascinating story by Frank Norris. The fact that the story has been visualized by the Famous Players is distinct addition to the offerings of the silent drama and the atcr gOers are sure to read with de- ilght the announcement that Rudolph Valentino and Dorothy Dalton head the cast appearing in this Palace screen feature.
 Moran of the Lady Lefty" is dramatic story of the sea, with it's scenes laid along the coast of Nor way. i'll Magdalena Bay, and along the water front of San Francisco
 The principal action of the thorough Iy gripping picture takes place aboard two sailing vessels, one a trader and the other a smuggling ship, com manded by Captain Kitchel, one of the tyrannical types of seamen, DOT trayed with wonderful strength by Walter Law
 In the role of Ramon Laredo" 'ocial idler, who has been shanghaied and forced to join Kitchell's crew, Rudolph Valentino has been most appropriately cast in one of those characters which he plays so we'll. Dorothy Dalton plays the part of Moran" character drawing famil- far to all who have read the stirring story. The picture quickly fashions itself into series of highly dramatic complications which makes audiences quickly lose themselves as they sit cntranced by the realism Of the pro- duction,
 Musica lcomedy's dainty star, Emile Lea, occupies a featured posi- ton on the coming bill in a singing. dancing and comedy connection call ed "Rehearsing for Vaudeville" Assisted most cleverly by Gil Squires and Sam Kaufman, this dainty girl is offering bit Of vaudeville that is as clever and as entertaining as 1t is refreshing. Everybody laughs when Belle Montrose has a place on the stage. She offers d skit called Her Only Chance" and in song and story, relieved by bit of dancing, she tells her little fun plot to the great enjoy ment of her audiences. George F.. Howard and Miss Kittie Ross are banjologists and have a distinct nov city musical creation which takes the form Of grand operatic revue. Ed lie Greenlee and Thaddeus deliver songs, dances and conversation in five languages. Where they get the five languages is rather difficult to imagine-until one sees them. Ziska nj her act of versatile novelties has medium that provides about a quar- ter of an hour of unusual vaudeville.
 There will be an entire change of Palace offerings on Thursday when another fine six act bill and Lionel Barrymore i'll his latest picture, ''Boomerang," come to form a deci- dedly high class combination of at fractions.

HOwat Contempt Plea
 Denied by High Court

Washington, D. C, March I7.-The United States supreme court has ruled that Kansas courts may issue lnjunctions to enforce the can't strike" law Of that state
 The court dismissed the plea of Alexander Howat for relief from con- tempt of court sentence He was jailed because he refused to obey the order of q Kansas district court to appear before the court of industrial relations and not to call a miners strike
 In his appeal to the United States supreme court Howat's attorneys questioned the legality of the Kan sas law
 Chief Justice Tait could only see the disobedience Of an injunction judges order and refused 10 consider the onstitutionality of the Kansas law
 The court, in effect, took this posi- ton; 1njunctions must be obeyed and 1t is not for the plaintiff to de eide whether the injunction denies him constitutional rights as this IS ot less importance than the violation of d courts. order.

TEXTILE STRIKERS APPEAL TO MILLS
 AT WILLIMANTIC
Open Meeting of C. L. U. Makes Prompt Response to Plea
 for Aid

Wllimantic, March I7-An audi ence that filled every seat, attended the open meeting under the auspices of the Wilfimantic Textile Council at Central Labor Union Hall this week, to hear speakers tell Of the condi- tions of textile workers now on strike in mills of the Blackstone Valley, The operatives, some 10000 in Rhode Island, have been out on strike for the past eight weeks. The mill own CTS seek to increase the working hours from IS to 54 hours a week along with a reduction in wages of 20 per cent. Joseph Simpson, president of the local council, presided. The following speakers were intrOduC ed: Thomas F. McMahon, national presi- dent of the United Textile Workers of America; John Wardman and Jos eph Sofel of Newmarket, K. l.
 The speakers explained in detail conditions as the result of the strike. The outcome of this strike is as much your fight as the textile opera lives of the Blackstone Valley" the local textile workers were told by the speakers The speakers said that the proposed actions of the mill owners in reducing wages and increasing working hours was cruel and unfair and not all patriotic. They had re- ceived one large cut in wages some time ago, they said The cost of liv- ing, as whole, had not decreased to such an extent that the manufac- turers were at all justified in the at tempted action, the speakers declared; The speakers appealed for financial aid from textile workers in Willi- mantle and a collection taken al the hall was gratifying. Arrangements were made to raise money for the fund to assist operatives in Rhode Island while out on strike,

Lawyers Preparing to Question Legality of Excess Profits
 Feature of Law.

Railroads are. not going to turn over any of their profits to a govern ment fund If their lawyers can help it.
 The courts will be asked to declare unconstitutional that section of the transportation act requiring that half of all profits in excess of per cent shall go into a revolving fund to be administered by the federal govern ment for the relief of weaker carriers
 The legal aspects of the case are being made the subject of earnest study of special comimttee of law yers working under the direction of the Association of Railway Execu- tiveS. The Besserner & Lake Erie, owned by the United States Steel corpora tron, is largely back of the demand for a legal test of the law It makes large profits which are claimed by the Stce! Trust
 Other roads interested include the Chesapeake & Ohio, the Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburgh, the Pacific and the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western ,and a number of smaller lines.
 Averse as they are to turning back any funds to the government, railroad managers are not backward in mak- ing demands for loans from the fed eraI treasury
 Many of the "weak sisters" have filed applications with the Interstate Commerce Commission for advances under the revolving fund section of the Cummins- -Esch act. The law re- quired that such applications should De made before March I. when 1t expired along with the 6 per cent, guarantee section.

 Railroad Panacea
State Association Would Have Pub lie" Control Work and Abolish
 Labor Laws.

The Manufacturers Association of Connecticut, seeks new fields to con quer and in a bulletin sent out this week, labelled No. I31, takes up the railroad problem, solves 1t and would have all future railroad problems solved by tribunal representing the public exclusively, by the public ex clusively" evidently meaning a tribun- al made up as the manufacturers would dictate. The bulletin points out that railroad problems and regu- lations has given the manufacturers 20 years of study finally resulting in the adoption of nine principles.
 The gist of these principles is in effect that deliberate interruption of railroad service was socially destruc- tive, and disputes would be deter mined by public tribunal with mem bers representing the public exclu- sively. Ii also declares that legisla- tion imposing artificial burdens on transportation, like the Adamson and the full crew laws, should be repealed.
 The bulletin gives as five billions the money invested in Connecticut in dustry, commerce and agriculture. The aggregate sales volume of agri- cultural and industrial products is four billions. Of the sales income is carrying charge paid to the rail roads.

BEGGARLY WAGES BY LAW.

Boston, March I7.-Organized workers are using d recent wages bylaw award to prove their point that wage setting by this method is less effective than trade unionism.
