Chaplin's ''Pilgrim''
 Proves Riot at Pre-view
Advance Rcader.)

The vociferous evidences of ap- proval on the part of two unsuspect- ing audiences-one on the Atlantic and the other on the Pacific Coast left no doubt in the minds of re- viewers present that ''The Pilgrim, y the First National attraction coming to the Rialto theatre on Thursday, will be a close rival of ''The Kid" for first honors among all of Charles Chaplin's productions.
 In theatrical parlance, "The Pill grim" was given unannounced pre- views recently at the Gotham Thea tre, New York, and at another theatre in Los Angeles to "try it on the dog" More than 2,ooo persons saw it at the Gotham. The spon- taneous enthusiasm with which it was received in the East and West indicated that Chaplin had turned out a pew classic.

Dress Strike Is Won


 Philadelphia, March 3o.-The gen. eral strike in the dress and waist in dustry has ended in victory for these organized workers. They were idle two weeks and have returned un- der union conditions. Local No. IS, affiliated with the International La dies Garment Workers union, issued this statement:
 "The union esnerges from this strike much stronger than it was in the last few years. The union has again ln- troduced union conditions in the waist and dress shops fo Philadelphia.
 The union will devote it's energies against the few remaining anti-union shops. These employers refuse to recognize the union or deal colllec- lively with employees.

New York, March 3o-The price of wire nails has been kited by the American Steel & Wire Company, one of the steel trusts units.
 Far-sighted bankers. and other busi- ness men are issuing warnings that the orgy of price raising now on will result in disaster, but no attention is paid to these cautions.
 In-their reports of last years busi- ness, corporations are announcing astonishing profits. The issue of stock dividends has aided in reducing the apparent profits by spreading them over a.larger amount of stock, but the actual amount of profits has increased, though the public does not notice the trick

GOAL PRICE
 PROBE ASKED

Washington, March 29-Request that the United States coal commission in vestlgate the actions of non-un1on coal companies in West Virginia, has been made by the United Mine Workers of America, who contend that prices have doubled, while operating costs have re- manned practically stationary. The state ment says:
 The fact that non-union coal con- pan1es of West Virginia are gouging the pocketbooks of coal consumers is disclosed by quotations of prices pub lished ein papers that represent thes companies. These quotations show that prices charged by coal companies for coal at non1nion mines in West Virginia are approximately double what they were one year ago, although there has been no increase in the cost of produc tlon III that time and the companies are not paying their miners any higher wages than they paid year ago. It IS merely case of, piling up huge additional profits.
 Quotations published on March c., show the extent of this unjustifable gouge Comparison is made in these quotations between the prices charged for West Virginia non-union coal on February 2, 1922. and February G. 1923.
 Columbus, O., buyers, for instance, re- ported that they paid $3,25 for srnokeless lump in 1922, and $6.50 to $7.50 in 1923, f. O. D. mines; Chicago reported $3.15 in 1922, and $675 to $7.25 in 1923; Cincin- nati reported $3.15 in 1922 and $7 to $8 in 1923.
 Increases in prices of smokeless mine run, f. o. b. mines were reported as fol- lows: Columbus, $2.15 in 1922 and $425 to SAYS in 1923; Chicago, $215 in 1922 and $4.O0 to $500 in 1925; Cincinnati, $1.75 in 1922 and 45O to $500 in 1923.
 Quotations for smokeless screenings were as follows: Columbus, $40 i'll 1922 and $425 to $4.65 in 1925; Gin cinnati, $l.15 in 1922 and $4.O0 to $4.25 in 1925
 Coal prices at the mines have been boosted in other sections of the country, also, but the increases do not evep ap- proach the robber figures on West Virginia non-union coal. There has been no increase in miners wages anywhere in the country, therefore the miners can not be charged with responsibility for these increases in coal prices. It is re- ported to us that there are, non-union mines in West Virginia in which miners receive as little as AZ cents a ton for loading coal.

 The boy, shattered piece of hu- manity, excited great sympathy i'll court. Both eyes were blown out and his left hand and arm to the elbow were shattered as a result of an ex- plosion of dynamite on the company s property at Scranton. The dynamite was found by the boys in an aban- doned shed on the company's proper ty.
 Attorneys for the railroad charged that the boys were trespassers on company property and that they found the dynamite elsewhere. The father of the boy proved that the boys were given permission to play around the shed

SHOULD JUDGES REPLACE KINGS
 The Seventh of a Series of Comments by New York Supreme Court Justice On Our Courts and Their Power

ator I had the deciding vote on the passage of law which affected more persons for veal or woe than all the cases 1 have decided or shall decide during my whole time on the bench
 How do 1 become entitled to more respect as judge than was accorded to me as senator? There is abso- lutely no sound reason for it and the only justification that can be urged for the custom of exaltfng judges above other public officials is that it has always been so. The sooner American citizens get rid of this idea that a judge is more honorable than legislator, and that court is en- titled to more respect than a legisla- ture, the clearer will become our per ception of the evils of judicial usur- pation-the most threatening present day danger to our democracy.

MINERS ENDOWED:
 CAN'T AID STRIKERS

Charleston, w. Va., March l3o- Federal Judge McClintic has enjoin- ed organized miners from using money collected through the "check off" to unionize the anti-union mines on Cabin Creek. The injunction affects coal owners who have contracts with the union and every member of the United , Mine Workers of America.
 Judge McClintic commands that the United Mine, Workers cease send ing money into the district for the purpose of unionizing these anti union mines, and that the United Mine Workers shall not continue strikes called in these mines.
 Under the injunction the miners can continue no strike against these anti-union coal owners. Any sup port they give a member of the union now on strike IS contempt of court. Any encouragement in any form will also come under the courts ban.
 To indicate how far West Virginia has gone the way of the Siberia fo old it is only necessary to recall this injunction and one issued last fall by the same judge in which the striking miners of Mingo county were ordered to abandon-a tent colony they were maintaining on leased land
 In the state senate political agents of anti-union coal owners are pursu- ing the same policy. The reaction ary measures pending in the legisla- ture include law to handcuf work CTS to their jobs, making the "check off" illegal and outlawing agreements between employer and employed.

"MR. BILLINGS SPENDS HIS
 DIME"

Dramatizing a dime! Making { small, thin coin of the denomination of 10 cents so important that the hero, the heroine, the villain and the remainder of the living characters in a photoplay are for the moment for gotten, while interest centers on the shiny bit of silver!
 Such situation arises( in MT Billings Spends His Dime," a Para mount picture comedy starring Wal ter Hiers, which will be on view at the Rialto Theatre today and tomor- row. As a clerk in a store, Hiers, known in the picture as Billings, earns $2o a week. He saves nothing. As a consequence, he is fired by a jealous boss who is in love with a girl who adores Walter. He finds himself with lone dime alone in a cold world.
 What to do with it? Food. natural ly, is the first thought Drink, per haps, is the second But does Bill ings make use of his dime for food or drink? Not at all. He buys a cigar with it.
 But before he spends the coin there Is a lot of fun Those who see the picture will admit that the dime is so important that it absolutely hogs every scene in which it takes part.
 Through the spending of the dime, Billings becomes involved in a South American revolution, wins himself a beautiful girl and has. the time of his life. Jacqueline Logan is fea- tured as leading woman and heads an unusually capable supporting. cast of players. The comedy is chaser of the blues of the finest grade and should attract general attention here as elsewhere
