ANTI-PICKET LAW

Election returns of Nebraska show
that the anti-picketing law, passed by
the state Legislature, has been adopt
ed through popular referendum by
majority of $4,000. This law, enacted
by the past legislature, was suspend
ed pending a referendum, and was bit
terly opposed by organized labor. It
makes it a misdemeanor to picket or
to try in any manner to influence men
against working on a struck job.
It is to be hoped that the people of
Nebraska, like the people of Kansas,
will soon come to realize that legisla-
tion which restricts the proper func-
tioning of legitimate labor organiza.
tons is bound to paralyze the indus.
trial progress of the state. Kansas has
awakened to this fact. and has just
sent to the governors chair a man
who is pledged to wipe the infamous
anti.strike legislation off the statute
books only two years after Governor
Allen put it there.

Starting Tuesday.
Harold Lloyd has again proven that
he is the most consistent funmaker on
the screen by his latest Pathe five
reel comedy, "Dr. Jack" which is to
be seen starting Tuesday at the Bijou
theatre. There are comedians who
make exceedingly funny pictures, but
Lloyd is the most consistent and de-
pendable of the Sons of Laughter.
"Grandma's Boy seemed to us to be
the perfect comedy until we saw CDR.
Jack"
In DIR. Jack" Lloyd has again given
us a comedy with a serious vein run
ming through it. but the laugher is con-
tinuous and everlasting. Never was
there anything funnier screened than
Lloyd's acrobatic antics in his weird
disguise as the madman. The poker
game was a gem of cleverness, as was
the comedians scene with the little
freckled kid. Then there was his ride
on the back of the bronco-like calf,
and-but why continue? 1t was a
laugh from start to finish.
Harold Lloyd is seen in the title role
that of young doctor who cures
Ills by the sunshine method" The
fast and furious Lloydian comedy is
interviewer with a charming love
story, and here the comedian fairly
outshines all the great lovers of the
screen. It's great comedy and you
really can't afford to miss it.
