DRIVE UNDER WAY, TO UMONIZE FOUR
 MOVIE THEATERS
Local 237, New Haven, to Launch Campaign in Effort to Win Over Non-
 Union Houses.
FOUR MOVIE HOUSES
 ON NON-UNION LISTS: Majestic, Oak street. Drean11and, Grand avenue. Winchester, Winchester avenue. Crystal, State street.

Motion Picture Operators Union, New Haven, No. 273, is launching a drive to unionize four nicolets in the Elm City where men are employed without cards.
 The Winchester theater, on Win chester avenue; the Crystal, on State street; the Majestic ,on Oak street; i; and the Dreamland, on Grand avenue, are the houses concerned. For some time, union officials have endeavored to quietly adjust difficulties with the arrangements of these exhibition places. Overtures have either been fatly turned down Or evaded As result, a concerted effort is now un- der way to win them oyer to labor's side
 The Winchester theater has been non-union for about two years The Crystal, which does a thriving busi- union at one time. When salaries were raised, however, the manager stubbornly refused to act accordingly. Ever since, this' nicolet has been practically a school for non-union op- orators.
 The Dreamland has been lon the non-union list of the New Haven Trades Council for over a year. It has never been union. The Majestic, likewise, has always been non-union. The local has endeavored for two years to sign up the owner of this house but to no avail.

Further evidence of the danger con- fronting railroad passengers as a result of the defective work passed at the New Haven roads shops at Readville, was evidenced last Tuesday when Train No. 43, leaving New Haven at 12 80 o'clock, noon, for New York, broke down near the Woodmont station narrowly avoiding being wrecked.

1 Nickerson's unwarranted outburst
 was fayed from one end of the state to the other at the time It is to be
 officially scored at the big labor as- senblage next week.
 During the reading of his annual report, President Patrick F. O'Meara l IS to talk on immigration laws and
 while on the topic he is to disclose what evidently was behind Kicker sons advocacy of such labor. Further insight into the strange attitude of the well-taken-care-of republican sage IS to be given during the address of Secretary Ira NJ Ornburn Ornburn | IS also the legislative representative Of organized labor and his remarks concerning N1ckerson in particular
 are eagerly awaited
 Nickerson's faux pas took place
 when he delivered an address before
 the farmers legislative organization. He said that the contract labor clauses in the federal immigration
 law are wrong and that persons seek ing labor for farming and other pro- Jects in this country should have the
 right to send to China and import coolie labor If they so desired.
 The building of the Union Pacific railroad with coolie labor was one of the greatest undertakings ever accom- plished in this country" Nickerson declared "You ought to have the right to send abroad and get coolies. or anybody else, if you want them.
 "The coolie is the best laborer on earth. He will work hard all day long and he won't stop at o'clock, daylight time, or any other kind of time.
 But they say the Chinese won't assimilate," he continued. We don't want them to. Send them back when their contract is up. Bring them here for a limited period, say five years, and then send them back
 What we want is labor Labor to great need of farmers is labor of some kind by which he can till his land and we ought to work for It. You do not realize your power, even on na- tional legislation/
 ''Now the labor leaders won't agree with me on this. They want to con- trol the mechanical branches of in dustry, but you cannot get any of them to work on farms"
 Nickerson also explained that Lieut.. Governor Hiram Bingham had urged the abrogation of the immigration contract labor clauses, describing Bingham's belief as hitting the nail on the head"
 Nickerson's championing of coolies statewide indignation, par among laboring circles. He las not yet been formally answered 'y organized labor, however-but the lnswer is coming at next weeks con yention.
 Only meagre information is avail ble as to what 1abor's reply will be o this insolent challenge of the gen. leman from Cornwall It is known, however, that Nickerson will be ac- used of being merely a mouthpiece or big business interests, among ther things. An enlightening mess ae is to be delivered to the delegates 7hich will not only disclose Kicker on in his true light but which will xpose the fallacy of the subtle prop ganda disseminated by Cornwall's De of labor.

BRTTON SAYS
Sir Alfred Mond Flags Social
ism as "TerribIe Tyranny"
and Impossible.
BY international News Service.

LONDON, July 16. - What the
world needs is more millionaireS.
This astonishing remedy for the
ills of the world is put forth by
Sir Alfred Mond, M. P, former
minister of health in the Lloyd
George ministry.
Socialism will only lead to further
wars, Sir Alfred says.
Sir Alfred is the defender OF
capital in Commons, it seems. At
least, he leads cohorts in the de-
tense Of the capitalistic system
whenever the Laborites open up
their guns.
Millionaire Is Tool.
''The millionaire" Sir Alfred de.
clared, "is the tool to make hun
dreds of millions for other people.
He is a person of utility; there are
too few of them.
It is by making people richer that
you are going to make the world
better. That can be done only by
better production.
"If you merely talk about Boil
shevists and miserable capitalists
you never get any further. Instead
of trying to score points we should
get together and find common
points Of contact, and the common
points of contact are much nearer
than people seem to think"
Enemy of Socialists.
Sir Alfred is, of course, the arch
enemy Of Socialism, and holds 1t
forth as a terrible example of a
world without a hope. lie sees in
Socialism dire possibilities for the
future.
without birth control and con-
scription of labor I do not think 1t
is possible to organize the Socialist
community" Sir Alfred asserted.
II regard Socialism as not IL form
of ideal improvement, but as a ter
rible tyranny.
II believe Socialism will lead to
one war after another, because of
the antagonism Of nations when
they have control of industrial at.
fairs"

BY ALICE LANGELIER,

PARIS, July 16.-All dressed up
and no place to go-except the
police station-was the sad fate Of
a tall, fine-looking negro from Sene.
gal who walked into one of the
large Paris shops last week and
decked himself in borrowed plumes.
He first found his way to the
tailoring department and selected a
light gray suit, which he put on at
once. Passing to the other depart
ments he provided himself with a
tall silk hat, silk socks, patent
leather shoes, bright yellow gloves
and a gaudy necktie.
In the iewelry section he put on
q gold watch and chain. a scarf pin,
cuff buttons and a fine fountain
pen. When finally arrayed TO
eclipse Sikh himself, he was invited
to the pay desk to pay the bill of
1885 francs.
Wrap up my old clothes" he
urged, land I'll pay the bill after
wards"
Pressed further, he admitted
that he had no money and an in
spector hurried him off to the
police.
II fought hard during the war, u
he whimpered in his cell, land
France owes me something. I am
sick and want to go back home in
clean clothes"
On being promised a good meal
he consented to take off his fine
feathers.
