Washington, Jan. 26.-"Commerce Reports" weekly survey issued by the department of commerce, declares that when cargoes are secured mer- chant marine follows:
 The position of the department of commerce is a direct challenge to sub sidy advocates and to American busi- ness men, who are reminded that Eng fish and German business men built up merchant marine by first secur- ing markets rather than depending on subsidies
 Great Britain and Germany built up their vast foreign commerce through intensive and aggressive ac tivity on the part of their own traders, who early established themselves in every part of the world" says Com merce Reports"
 They erected huge warehouses and 'godowns' to facilitate their trade, en- gazing in both importing and export ing business. Having gained the greater part of the worlds commerce, it was an easy matter to build up the lare mer- chant fleets that each nation attained at the height of its prosperity.
 Success for our American merchant marine will just as truly follow a similar procedure on the part of our own ex- porters and importers"

CHILD LABOR CONTROL IS URGED
 AT HEARING

Washington, Jan. 26.-President Com pers, Miss Grace Abbott of the federal chi1dren's bureau, and other speakers urged a subcommittee of the senate ju- dietary committee to favor the child labor amendment to the federal consti- tuition proposed by Senator Mccormick shortly after the United States supreme court set aside the law that would tax profits of child labor. The authors of that legislation intended to make child labor expensive and based their act on supreme court decisions like the o1eomargarine and state bank rulings, which held that it was legal to tax oleo- margarine and state banks out of exist ence. When this was attempted in the case of child labor. however, the court held the act was illegal.
 The Mccormick amendment empowers congress to limit or prohibit the labor of persons under IS years of age. Amend ments on this subject are also proposed by Senators Johnson of California Lodge of Massachusetts, and Walsh of Montana. Organized labor and other opponents of child labor are supporting the Mccormick amendment.

GREEK PLAYS WERE
 MODEL FOR NEW FILM

In the Goldwyn picture, "The Sin |tFlood," which comes to the Rialto Theatre next Thursday, one may see the farreaching influence of ancient Greek drama on the modern photo play. This photoplay is one of the first, and by all odds, the most suc- cessful attempt to restrict the action and the time during which the story is unfolded to their minimum. It is a we'll known principle in dramatic writing that power of impression is achieved most speedily through a unity of time, place and action.
 Modern dramatists have broken the Greek tradition completely; neverthe- less, many tales are rendered more dramatic when they are constructed on the Greek plan.
 Henning Berger's play, "Synda- foden," from which "The Sin Flood" was adapted, takes place in one room. In the cinematic version, most of the action transpires as in the play. But where the people in the stage play tell of what is happening without, the characters in the photop1ay are also seen beyond the confines of the room where the drama winds towards a climax. However, these digressions of place are minor. The story covers about 20 hours in time; and in that period, II characters are stripped of their worldly veneer, and show the fundamental traits of their natures
 The Goldwyn picture was directed by Frank Lloyd; and is acted by sterling cast of players including Helene Chadwick, Richard Dix, James Kirkwood, and several others.

.DUELLIST SHOT BY
 AMBUSHED BANDIT
Thrilling Scene Is Pictured in Gloria Swanson's Vehicle, My
 American Wife,"
CRACKI CRACKt

CRACK! CRACK!
 Two revolver shots ring out and . moment later one of the duellists falls. When he is examined, it is found that the bullet has torn through his shoulder and has apparently come from ambush instead of from the re- volver of the man facing him.
 But he didn't know that the bullet came from the gun of an assassin mufaed with a maxim silencer and that the assassin had been hired by the father of his enemy to insure the death of his most dangerous political opponent.
 The final exposure of the assassin and the machinstions of the man who hired him is one of the high spots of the new Sam Wood production for Paramount, My American Wife," in which Gloria Swanson is the star and which will be on view at .the Rialto Theatre next Monday. Antonio Nor enc, leading man, plays the young Argentine hero in this new co1orful story of the South American Repub- lie.

British UniOniStS
 Plead For Workers

London, England, Jan. k26.-In a manifesto issued by the Trades Union Congress general council, the prime minister is called upon to at once summon parliament to deal with un- employment as national emergency of vital importance. Protest IS made against the governments policy of declaring a holiday for parliament un- til February B.
 "Chronic unemployment has re- duced thousands of working class homes in the country to a state of absolute destitution," the manifesto declares. "The cottages of the work CTS have been stripped of domestic comforts, and even the elementary re- quirements of a decent existence have been sold in ~order to provide the necessary food to slave off starva- ton. The burden imposed on local authorities by the great call for re- lief has been so great as to establish state of local bankruptcy.
 Many local authorities are heav- fly in debt on account of having to meet responsibility which should be borne by the nation without regard to the good or bad fortune of particu- lar area.
 "Where unemployment is most se- were cooperative societies and small traders have been brought to a state perilously near bankruptcy, and the long continued drain on social re- sources has produced state almost of social bankruptcy in certain areas"

 bill provides for reintroduction O.

 tracts be signed7 Esau agreed be. l cause he was hungry. It was the de
 sire to live that caused slavery to be- 1 gin and to continue. With the grow
 ing hunger in modern society, there
 will be but few that will be able to resist. The personal hunger of the
 seaman, and the hunger of the wife
 and children of the railroad man will
 surely tempt them to sign, and SC
 with sundry other workers in Inter state and Foreign Commerce.
 Condemnation of Plan.
 In its resolution on the subject the seamen's convention declared as fol- lows:
 Resolved, That any form of com pulsory labor except as punishment for crime is destructive of fundamen- tai American principles, in the fact that it denies the equal right of all men, and that 1t recognizes and es- tablishes bondage of one citizen to another citizen. Let the American people beware of creating bondmen. The bondmen can feel no responsi- bility; he can have no sense of moral ity, of self-respect or of honor be- cause he has no individual will. He is alone Association for mutual aid
 is unthinkable. Deprived of his hu- man estate, he is degraded below the animal or vegetable kingdoms. In having thoughts that he cannot utter to men, he is like an animal; in hav- ing impulses that he cannot follow, he is less. In his lack of mobility he is like tree; in his inability to obey the laws of his being, he is less. His imagination Is corrupted; his thoughts darkened. He hates his work because it is forced from without and not in duced from within. The feeling of his bondage expresses itself in sabot-. age, in hatred to his master or mas ters; in selfshness that knows naught of moderation or restraint, except as 1t arises from fear. Fear removed, his passions become like rush of mighty waters with barriers de- stroyed. Any policy that pretends to save individual liberty through the adoption of any form of groupbond- age Is either conscious fraud or self deception on the part of its advocates Group-bondage is individual bondage with all it's dangers and its betrayal of fundamental American principles. To use the necessities of men as in H. R. I3522, whether such necessities be in dividual or arising out of family rela- tions is especially reprehensible be- cause it makes need, hunger and want, the basis of contracts which the American sovereign may legally be able to make, and which a misused equity power will enforce but which is an abdication of such sovereignty for the purpose of obtaining bread for self or family, and further be it
 Resolved, That we condemn any policy be it of state or national scope, the purpose of which is to create bondage in any form or for any pur pose, except as a punishment for crime"

 New York, Jan. 26.-Condemnatio of the Mills Bill, H. R. 13522, pro viding for compulsory arbitration b, act of congress, was voted by th convention of the International Sea mems Union of America here.
 This bill proposes to make valit and enforcible written provisions O. agreements for arbitration in dis putes arising out of contracts, mari time transactions or commerce among the states and territories or with for eign nations.
 In addition to a resolution on tht subject the convention adopted de tailed analysis of the bill, which is en titled "The United States Arbitration Act' and is regarded as one of the most dangerous legislative proposals now before congress or in contempla- ton.
 Arbiter Replaces Court.
 In it's analysis the Seamen's Union says in part: ,,
 "The name is proper because it will put the arbiter in place of the court. It will take away from all citizens, except those who have the knowledge and the money to hire the best of 
 the present right to day in court.
 "Let clause to arbitrate be placed in any contract, and any dispute about the meaning and enforcement of the contract must be referred to arbitra- ton, and the court with all the Saxon rules of procedure and constitutional guarantees ceases to operate. The clause to arbitrate may be added to any contract after 1t IS entered into either before or after a disagreement has arisen. When so inserted 1t is controlling, and the courts duty is not to hear and determine, but to or der arbitration to proceed and to en- force the award. For this purpose all the powers of the court-legal and esuitable-must be used.
 Courts Power Clear.
 There can be but little doubt about the power of the court, The courts power will rest upon the fact that freeman-one of the American sovereigns-has granted this right to the other party and being a grant from the sovereign, it becomes a vested right. As between individuals there does not seem to be any ques- ton about the constitutionality; but if there be, then the obiter dicta by
 
 the case of Robertson vs. Baldwin would seem to cover the case pretty well. In substance the court, in con- struing the 13th amendment, fast ened itself upon the word 'involun tary' Could service ever become in voluntary if it was voluntarily enter ed into, and then it held that the sea- man having voluntarily entered into the service he was not in involuntary servitude. The seaman having made the contract to serve must serve. The railroad man having entered, in to a contract to serve with an arbi- tration clause inserted must continue to serve, because such contract be- comes through this law, if enacted, valid enforceable, irrevocable, save upon such grounds as exist at law or inequity for the revocation of any contract.

Commerce Commission
 to Start Rail Inquiry

Washington, Jan. 26-The inter state commerce commission has noti- fled railroads that 1t will proceed i'm mediately to investigate railroad CT penditures during recent months. It is desirable to know whether expen- ditures of the carriers for maintenance of equipment have been reasonable, the commissions order declared, and to keep informed as to the manner and method in which the business of such carriers is conducted with spe- pecial reference to car service.
 President Johnston, of the Interna- tional Association of Machinists, re- gently petitioned the commission to investigate strike expenditures of rail roads. He charged that the carriers have been making extravagant expen- ditures to break the shop mems unions since a1st July, when the strike start ed The unionist insisted that the commission act in a matter that in wolves wastes and additional costs to the public.

Don't Defy Government

Washington, Jan 26. 6.- Chairman Hooper of the railroad labor board an- nounces that the shop mems strike is not a defiance of government. It is re- grettable MT. Davis did not make this statement when Attorney General Daugherty and the public press were flashing the populace into wild frenzy and every guarantee of the shop men was swept aside on the ground that they were "defying government"
 The latest statement by the railroad board chairman is reprinted in the Con- gressional Record, issue of January 10. He says: There have been no vio- 1ations of the boards decisions by em- ployes, unless the shop strike and the Missouri & North Arkansas strike should be so accounted. In the shop strike, however, it must be remembered that the shop men did not accept the boards decision, and, consequently, claimed that they did not violate it, but exercised their legal right under the transportation act to reject it."
