Different With Villains.
But with the villains it is differ
ent.
There really is dearth of desper-
ate men and the movie procedures are
rapidly approaching the point where
villains will have to be eliminated
from all plots.
OF course. that would be against
all the traditions of the stage.
, Heavy roles alwOys have been
demanded both in the drama and on
the screen.
But what with first one protest
and then another, the opportunities
for villainous action are being so re-
stricted that the art threatens to die
of inanition.
The farm organizations say that II
farmers must be depicted on thu
screen, they should be painted in true
modern colors-well dressed, opulen
appearing, and stepping always from
well groomed flivver or a Rolls
Royce or something equally effective
And so it is with the Far West.

The Mexican government at one
time or another has protested against
the policy of making Mexicans al
ways the villains in border dramas
reproduced on the silver sheet.
1t was even intimated at one time
that so long as the Mexican was held
up to infamy on the screen there was
no chance of an accord between the
United States and her sister republic
to the south.
So Mexican "bad men, have also
been largely eliminated by the re-
sponsible producers.
The japanese government has felt

that it is small wonder the producers
are falling back as much as possible
upon historic romances and novels
that passed public censorship long
ago.
These, at least, they regard as
safe.
But the mosr amusing. and at the
same time most insistent protests
that come against the villains are
from those screen patrons who resent
the casting of their favorite actor in
heavy role.
These protests are loud and
clamorous.
The producers would grin gleefully
at such protests. ordinarily, but they
know in their hearts that they SER
iously affect the drawing power of the
film.

Locomotive Bremen and Switch1nen Plan
 New Wage Demand

Chicago, Sept. 22.-At joint meet ing of the four associations of gen
 eral committees of the Brotherhood
 of Locomotive Bremen and Engine
 men, held here last week, two days
 were devoted to a careful study of
 the wage question as 1t affects the
 men under the jurisdiction of the
 brotherhood.
 As a result of these deliberations
 a decision was reached that upon ex-
 piration of present contracts, the
 general committee on each railroad
 will be authorized to negotiate with
 their respective arrangements for a
 wage increase which would restore
 the rates of pay in effect under De- cision No. of the Railroad Labor Board.
 This in substance would restore to the men the wages taken away by the boards decision (No. I47) in July, 1921, which all railroad organizations at that time contended was unJust1fl- able in view of the fact that railroad wages during the war had not kept pace either with the cost of living or with wage advances in all indus tries other than railroads.
 This movement agreed upon by the B. of L. F. and E. embraces all rail- roads in the United States and Can ada, as the men on every railroad were represented at the meeting. In addition to handling the wage question each of the four associations of general committees-the western the southeastern, the eastern, and the Dominion of Canada-elected officers I for the ensuing term.
 President D. B. Robertson came from Cleveland to attend the session The Switchmen's Union of North
 America, at the request of President | T. C. Cashen, held similar meeting and decided on a program very much | the same as that of the B. of L. F. and E. It will affect all men in yard service who are represented by the | Switchmen's Union.
 Inasmuch as the agreements held | by these two organizations with the
 railroads do not all expire at the same time, the wage movement will not be conducted on all railroads concur | rently but will be taken up with each management as the agreement expires on that particular railroad.

Steel Workers Urged
 To Combat Garyism

Pittsburgh, Pa, Sept. 22.-In urg- ing afiliates to assist in the organiza- ton of the steel industry, Secretary Treasurer Davis of the Ama1gamated Association of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers declared that the union shop the symbols of savagery.'
 The trade unionist impresses upon organized steel workers the need for united action and urges each local to appoint a committee to cooperate with central bodies and organizers in the various steel centers.
 "This work is important, but it can be accomplished if the proper effort is made" said Secretary Davis. "This long turn of the dark ages is going, collective bargaining is making rapid strides and gathering strength daily. Reason is taking the place of usurped authority and self-appointed autocracy"

Vast Sums Refunded;
 Insiders" Profit

Washington, Sept 22-According to a report by Commissioner of In- ternal Revenue Blair some citizens pro- fit amazingly through refund of taxes It Is shown that refunds this year reach ed the unprecedented total of $123,oo2- 820 This compares with $14,000,000 in 1920, $280000O0 in 1921, and $48,- 100000 in 1922. Out of the 1923 re- funds '71,osoo47 was returned on claims aecured prior to July l, 1920, and $34,502,757 on collections for 1921.
 The details of these vast refunds are secret. Members of congress have ire quently demanded publicity on such re- payments, but this agitation has been fruitless. Rumor and scandal a11ege that political favorites fare very we'll in getting money restored to them Every now and then some expert drops out of internal revenue department and becomes niraculously rich as a profes- sional adjuster of cases, 1t is stated
 Figures by Commissioner Blair show that the cost of collecting taxes has recahed the record-breaking peak of $1.73 for every $100 coming into the treasury, as compared with $ cents un- der the previous administration. Treas ury officials explain this increase by claiming that the department machin- cry has to be increased to catch up with back work

Colorado Fat Lamb Movement.

About fifty per cent of the lambs

port issued by the Chicago and Denver

that since January 1 shipments had
amounted to about 10000 head. Since

feed at the first OF the year. With
these additional feeders the number

date, most of which are to go to mar
between now and the first of May,
is approximately 765,000. Last year re-
ports OF carlot shipments show that

UNWIsE R E PAVING

A piece of patchwork, is all that can be said Of the proposed
paving of a couple blocks on Fayette street at its extreme westerly
end. In the first place, this is no time to start street paving. That
* work that is usually done according to program adopted at the
beginning of the year. No well managed city would start a pave
ment at this time unless there were some emergency that called
for It. This cannot be said of the western end of Fayette street.
IT is ridiculous for Alderman Mcclure to talk about the traffic
warranting such an expenditure. There can't be any traffic to
sneak of because it is a dead end that it is proposed to pave. If
the aldermen have Sc much money for paving and can't wait until
next spring to start spending it why not pick out a street where
the pavement will really do some goodi
The paving of these two or three blocks at the extreme west
erly end of Fayete street is particularly inopportune at this time
because there are plans under way to make Fayette one OF the
main arteries Of travel in this city. The idea is to have a bridge
built over the railroad when the tracks are depressed, and extend
the street from the present dead end at the western terminus,
through to Convery place. When this is done the street will be
paved all the way from the railroad through to Convery place and
it will become almost as important for travel as Smiths street, being
already paved east of the railroad to the waterfront.
To pick out a couple of blocks, then, at the extreme western
end that leads nowhere, and where, because it is a dead end, there
can be but little travel, and lay an expensive pavement now, espe-I
cially with the cold weather almost upon us, is mighty poor bust
ness. Such Judgment is a reflection on the men who claim to be
looking out for the best interests of the city. 1t smells very strong
Iy of politics. With such an example of running the city, the few
votes that one candidate may get on the two or three blocks on
the westerly end of Fayette street may be more than offset by the
votes of disguised residents in other parts of the city.
More and more the people are insisting on a business admin
istration in municipal affairs. Sooner or later Perth Amboy is
going to have commission form of government under which re-
sponsibiIty is fixed and things are done in a more businesslike
way. 1t is such a use of public funds as is now proposed on
Fayette street that will hasten the time when commission govern
ment will be adopted.
