NEW SCHOOLS IN
MEXICO

Washington-The Mexican govern
ment is establishing hundreds of new
public schools, according to reports
received by Spanish Language Sec
retary Vargas, of the Pan-American
Federation of Labor.
During the months of January and
February of the current year." said
Secretary Vargas, lover 600 new
schools have been established through
out the southern republic. Villages
and hamlets that have been neglected
by previous governments in the mat
ter of public schools are now receiv-
ing attention by the federal depart
ment of education. Over $4,000 chill
dren are receiving instruction in the
new schools. The department of edu-
cation is planning to provide school
facilities for the children of every
village and hamlet in Mexico"

COAL OWNERS
POLICY
OF Short Transportation
and Long Price May
Force Control

Washington.-State control of an
thracite coal, rather than by congress,
seems more practical, according to a
statement by Senator Walsh, of Mas
sachusetts He said the average west
ern and southern congressman and
senator has no interest in anthracite
and it is hard to interest them
"Of course, | would prefer to see
the federal government handle the
question, but there is no use for the
people of Pennsylvania waiting long
er for federal leadership" said Sen
ator Walsh, in approving the princi-
pie of a bill now before the Pennsyl-
vania legislature, which would regu-
late the anthracite industry.
The eastern lawmaker is not enthu-
siastic over the probe being conducted
by the United States coal commission,
although he insists that some form of
control is necessary.
"The abuses by reason of the short
age of coal, inadequate transportation,
high prices and fireless coal have so
aroused the consuming public that the
alternative is strict control and regu-
lation of the industry" he said
81 for one refuse to sit by and al
low these abuses to continue until
they reach the stage where our people
will give up in despair the belief that
this government exists to protect
them against extortion fraud, disease
and other consequences of the mis-
management of so important an in
dustry as the coal industry"
Senator Walsh called attention to
the coal owners lobby in Washington,
which, he said, "is skillfully managed,
and most active"
"The death knell is being wrung, +"
he said, ''for uncontrolled manage
ment of industries which have the
power when contests arise between
employer and employed to spread like
a plague, suffering, distress and di-
sease among law-abiding, honest men,
women and children whose only de-
mand is the ability to get what they
need to maintain life at a reasonable
fair price"

Order Eagles birthday falls on June
21, or the first day of summer each

is to take place, monster barbecue
with plenty to eat and refreshments,
dancing, amusements and games of
all descriptions, a boxing exhibition,
music galore, etc While the ami

IGNORE LAW
And Railroads Are Ordered
To Pay Up

Washington.-Th interstate COM
merce commission has ordered all
railroads to report their 1922 earn
ings, and pay to the government, un-
der the Cummins- Esch law, one-half
of the amount the roads earned in
excess of per cent profit, based on
the commissions value of the invest
ment This money is intended to be
loaned to weaker roads.
This order follows a recent decision
by a New Orleans federal court which
upheld this section of the transporta-
ton act. The court proceedings were
watched by every railroad fnancier
and manager, as millions of dollars
are involved.
Railroads that have made in excess
of 6 per cent profit have not complied
with the law No objection was raised
against that section of the bin when it
was pending in congress. Then the
big railroads wanted the support of
the little railroads.

WILL NOT Be LED
Labor Makes Its Own Des-
tiny
(From the Australian Worker,
Sydney, New South Wales)

y
The labor movement differs from all
other movements in one vital respect
it tolerates no leaders.
1t refuses to be led. 1t will entrust
it's destiny to no individual. There
is not man alive who can say to it
with any hope of success: "You must
come this way! Whithersoever |
choose to go, you must follow"
At various times attempts have
been made to take the labor move
ment in tow and reduce it to the state
of something that obeys will impos-
ed upon it. In vain.
Ambitious persons have sought to
make it subservient to their interests
have felt the lust and pride of
power surge within them, and being
selected as it's honored servants, have
lost their heads and given themselves
the airs of masters, strong enough
to strike out course of their own
and drag the movement after them.
Ignominious failure has been their
fate.
Labor will not be led. No man can
take it where he pleases. 1t is the
maker of it's own destiny. 1t hews
its own path. 1t decides upon its own
goal.
The way of progress is strewn with
the skeletons of those who have sue
cumbed to the temptations of egotism

RIALT0
Four Days, Commencing Sunday.
Two Big Feature Attractions
Latest William Fox Special, ''The
Face on the Barroom Floor"
Replete With Thrills

One of the most thrilling storms at
sea ever shown on the screen will be
seen in the new William Fox special
production, "The Face on the Barroom
Floor" which will be one of the fea-
tured attractions at the Rialto for
four days, starting Sunday
The scenes were taken off the rocky
coast of Maine during a gale that
destroyed more than a score of fish
ing and other craft. The boat from
which the scenes were taken seemed
threatened with disaster on more
than one occasion, according to those
on board.
The picture, it is claimed, is replete
with thrills, including, in addition to
the terrific storms at sea a sensa-
tional outbreak among the prisoners
in a penitentiary; their thrilling es-
cape over the prison walls; the dar-
ing leap for life of one of the fugi-
tives and numerous other scenes des-
tined to make the audience sit on the
end of the seats.
Sharing the honors of this big fea-
ture will be Restivo, the worlds
greatest -accordian player. He
will appear four times daily in Sc
lection of classical and jazz numbers.

make the grade of social admission by
dividing the various articles of one
full dress suit between them; and
they divide the time in the dancing
salon, the man whose lack of formal
dress is apparently remaining in the
gentleman's washing room.
From this situation the star
evokes roars of laughter. "R. S.
V. P" provides high speed COM
edy vehicle in which the star shows
at his best. 1t is played by cast
of unusual merit that includes, in
addition to the star, such we'll known
players as Florence Oberle, Harry
Myers, Tom Mcclure, Jean Calhoun,
Robert Grey, William Courtright and
Ida Schumacher.
The added attraction consists of
Sunshine Comedy, "5;15," and Rialto
News.

AT THE PALACE
FAIRBANKS PICTURES
KING OF ROMANCE
Makes of Robin Hood in New Photo.
play Character That Will
Live in Film History

No character in history or legend
ever appealed more to the magma
ton for his preponderance of dash
ing romantic verve than Robin Hood.
whose exploits in the Twelfth CEN
tury serve to mark that era as one
IN which the spirit of chivalry reached
its zenith. No character in the mem
ory of mankind ever was given such
magnificent opportunity to be i'm
pressed permanently SO brilliantly.
Douglas Fairbanks mastery portray
al OF this character in his photo
drama, Douglas Fairbanks in Robin
Hood" United Artists release com
ing to the Palace theatre for a de
luxe presentation commencing Sat
urday, is sure to enhance the popu-
larity of this hero since this film un-
doubtedly will live just as any great
novel with a historical background
survives the onslaughts of time The
seats for the first two days of this
engagement are reserved, perform
ances taking place at 200, 4:15, 700
and 9:l5 p. m. The remaining DAYS of
this local run at the Palace perform
ances will be continuous daily from
100 to 11:00 p. m.
There will be an especially appro-
pirate musical program rendered by
the Palace Concert Orchestra, and
special lighting effects will also be
part of this de luxe Palace presenta-
ton.
That Robin Hood was a great lover,
every version of his meteoric career
indicates. He was noted for the man
ner in which he so rigidly enforced
the highest respect for all women.
He was gallant to a maximum de-
gree, and he never failed to resent
any show of masculine misconduct
toward the gentler sex. His manner
of resentment was always most un-
pleasant for the offender, too.
AS visualized in the matchless
Douglas Fairbanks in Robin Hood"
this character becomes the very king
of romance in all that the term inn
plies, and his manner of impressing
his commendable traits of standing
as the bold fighter in be-
half of frail woman is one which
will not fail to remain fixed in the
mind of every person who sees the
of his spirit by Mr.
Fairbanks, foremost of romantic
stars. 1t has been predicted that
this film will go far in reviving a
worldwide interest in romance of the
dashing sort and chivalry of the
habitual kind, and there seems to be
ample grounds for anticipating such
a beneficial result. Nor is it to be
doubted that the world today needs
more of this combined spirit of such
great power in making life more
worthwhile

DELINQUENT UNIONS

Every meeting night of the central
body the treasurer reads a small list
of unions who are still delinquent for
Labor Day tickets. The amount of
the tickets are placed on the bills of
these locals for hall rent and dues,
but up to this time this delinquency
has been overlooked The council
made another appeal to the delegates
of these delinquent unions to square
up for these tickets. Some of the
locals have the tickets on hand and
all that is necessary to turn them in,
or the cash. Next meeting of the
council the delegates will appreciate
report from the treasurer of COM
