The fact that the humor in the

the direction of Henley, the careful

THEATRES
Strand Attraction

The Charles c. Burr-Whitman
Bennett production Secrets of Par
is taken from Eugene Sues most
famous work, THE Mysteries of Par
is" which comes to the Strand
Theatre today is by no means what
could be called a hurried produce
ton. Mr.. Bennett knows his public
and he knows what 1t demands.
There are some screen plays that can
be thrown together in hit or miss
fashion, but when a screen version
is made of a classic the public is
most critical and calls for just what
the book depicts.
Eugene Sues most famous story is
known to hundreds of thousands of
Americans. This book has been
studied in nearly all the high schools
and colleges as a master piece of
literature. and those who have Wis
tied Paris have visited the haunts
from whence Sue drew his charac-
tiers. Some of those haunts are still
to be seen today and the Paris visi-
tor seldom fails to go there. Mr..
Bennett knows his Paris as he does
his motion picture public. Being a
newspaper man in the French cap
ital for several years, he has taken
advantage of his knowledge and pro-
duced the scenes historically correct.
He went so far as to gather old
prints and from them he built his
scenes, especially the interior of the
Rat Hole, the most famous and no.
torious meeting place for the worst
characters known to Paris.
He has studied every character
portrayed by the French writer, and
before starting work on the picture
he spent weeks in and about New
York's latin quarter selecting his ex-
ira people. At one time he had sew
enteen nationalities working in some
of the scenes The principal roles
are played by an all-star cast, inclu-
ding Lew Cody. Montagu Love,
Gladys Hulette, Efie Shannon, J.
Barney Sherry, william Collier. Jr..
Walter James, Rose Coghlan. Harry
Sothern, Dolores Cassinelli and
others.

Dress Industry Scores Competition of Products
 Made by Prison Labor

By International Labor News Service.
 Atlantict City, N. J., Dec. 8.-Ihe dress industry is finding the competition of goods made by contract prison labor detriment to its business, declared Da- vid N. Mosessohn, head of the Associa- ted Dress Industries of America, in ad- dressing the organizaton's convention here.
 Through the arrangement whereby manufacturers enter into contracts for prison-made goods, they are able to put products on the market Ill competition with the products of free American la bor at a price ratio of approximately 88 cents to SIPS" MT. Mossessohn said. He continued:
 '~ss'It is, the intention of this convention to formulate plans whereby various trade organizations of wholesalers, re- tailers and manufacturers will cooper ate with national, State and local Cham bers of Commerce in agitating legisla- tion against the unfair competition that the marketing of prison<rnade goods brings about.
 Our idea is that all merchandise made by the prisoners should be distributed among the various institutions of the country and not be placed upon the mar ket as at present. It is, estimated that about 100000 prisoners throughout. the E land are manufacturing merchandise

FEDERATED PRESS, DENOUNCED BY
 Al OF L. RUNS TRUE TO FORM IN ATTACK ON U. M. W. A.
Defunct N. Y. Leader, Controlled By Garland Foundation, A d d 8 Proof That Charges Were Sound.
By International Labor News Servic,

By International Labor News Service
 Washington, D. C., Dec. 8-One of the last acts of the defunct New York Leader was to publish a purported news story attacking the United Mine Workers and particularly Ellis Searles, editor of the Mine Workers Journal, for the miners expose oi communist propaganda within the miners union.
 | Is reported that the Leader spent considerable money and time in an effort to produce story unfavorable to Searles and the miners Nowhere in the Leaders story was there any contradiction of the facts produced by Editor Searles in his expose o1 communist propaganda.
 The Leader pretended to be labor paper, yet its whole career was marked by attacks on the trade unions and it's final effort was an at tack on the miners union.
 The story published in the Leader now appears in substantially the same form III the Butte DuIIeun, edfIed by William F. Dunne who was ex- pelled from the Portland A. F. of L. convention as communist: The story published in the Butte Bulletin is dated from Washington and Is signed By Laurence Todd, Federated Press Staff Correspondent"
 The Federated Press was condem- ned by the Portland convention and labor papers were warned of it's at titude toward the American Feeder ation of Labor. In its issue of Nov. I6 the Butte Bulletin gives the posi- ton of honor with banner lines" to the Federated Press story written by MT. Todd attacking the miners union and the editor of the Miners, Magazine.
 Neither the Federated Press, the Leader, nor the Butte Bulletin weaken the case presented by MT. Searles in his searching expose of communist disruptive efforts in the miners union. Their attack is clearly one calculated to bolster up the communist cause by the simple and we'll known expedient of general mud singing. The unity of thought and community of interest of the Federated Press, William F. Dunne and the forces that controlled the Leader is striking and Illuminating, though not surprising
 The Leader, in which some bona hde unions held an interest, was con trolled by the Garland Foundation, exposed by President Gompers as the million dollar plaything of New York parlor bolsheviks and communists On its board of trustees is William z. Foster, Moscow's American errand boy; Roger Baldwin, director of the so-called Civil Liberties Union, which seeks to "dramatize" alleged free speech contests, is another direc- tor.
 The action of the Leader and the Federated Press constitute proof, in the minds of observers here, of the charges made by Searles against the communists and their parlor red dupes and allies.

 The address was signed by L. E. Shep- pard of the Brotherhood of Conductors, acting chairman, and E. J. Manion of the Order of Telegraphers,. secretary, Ion behalf of the chief executives of the associated railroad labor organiza- tions i'll conference assembled" The address is as follows:

 Permit us to tender you and your associates this symbol of our admission and deep personal affection.
 May God spare you in full possession of all your faculties, for many, many years, III order that you may witness the dawn of that better day of which you have been the prophet"
 In his reply to this exhibition of fra ternity, President Gompers said: 'I am afraid at this moment, when l am over- whelmed, I am not capable of express ing to you what IS yelling up in my soul to say. On behalf of the American Fe- iteration of Labor, permit me to express to you my profound gratitude and the deep appreciation which I know my associates and feel And may the time. soon come when the men and women of toll are united not only in organizations, but in spirit and in fact, and then will come the great day of human justice, of brotherhood, among men the world over"
