dancing and talking skit prettily staged and splendidly presented. MT. Foley and Miss Lature know their business to T. The lady has a splendid singing voice and the boy IS a very clever dancer.
 In tn ehands of Jack Hanley, a. stick becomes a comedian and he has whole troupe of funny sticks. These are, of course, animated by the skill and humor of their manipulator. Hanle wis juggler but his bump of humor counts as much in his act as the dexterity' of his hands.
 Another treat, and one truly out of the ordinary, on the coming bill is the roaring afterpiece which Roscoe Ails, Dan Sherman and Jack Hanley have consented to put on. Vaudeville has no funnier chaps in it's ranks than this trio when 1t comes to "clowning" It seems that some weeks ago this, trio attended dinner given noted vaudeville performer in New York and a feature of an evening filled with fun was the "clowning" of these funny fellows. Mir Alonzo, hte Poli booking representative, was pres ent at the dinner and having Halney, AiIs and Sherman booked for the Pal

Here is a type of screen drama for which there is an ever growing demand. It tells straight-from-the-sh story and it is splendidly acted and intelligently directed. The cast in Backbone" is one of noteworthy ex- cellence. Among the names in this impressive cast are Edith Roberts, Alfred Lunt, James D. Boyle, Will fam B. Mack, Frank Evans, L. E.

Can Stop Mine Deaths, Says Director
 of Mine Bureau

Washington, Dec. 8.-It is possible to lower the ratio of mine fatalities, declared Director H. Foster Bain ot the bureau of mines in his annual re- port.
 "It Is wrong," he said, "to assume that the present death rate in coal mining represents standard human cost which must be paid if this coun- try is to be supplied with coal. Nor should anyone feel that nothing more need be done because in this country the loss of life, per million tons of coal mined, is less than in other coun- tries"
 Although the bureau of mines can say positively that widespread ex- p1osions of dust no longer should oc- cur, the fact remains that they con tinue, Director Bain points out. In 1922 gas and coal-dust explosions took a toll of 3II lives, or 1878 per cent. of. the total deaths. Until the late series of disastrous explosions the lessening number of explosions in re cent years had led the bureau to feel that the dangers from this source were being elin1inated, the director said

START NEW JAP FIGHT FOR WHITE
 MANS LAND

Washington, Dec. 8.-West coast sen ators and congressman are discussing methods to further restrict Japanese i'm migration. They suggest that the gen tlemen's agreement with the Japanese nation be abrogated and that congress a mend the immigration laws so that all persons eligible to citizenship will be bar red from entering the United States.
 Following the United States supreme courts decision that states have the right to pass laws debarring Japs from own ing or leasing lands the court has hand ed down two more decisions along the same line. In one decision the court held that under the alien land laws of Washington and California, aliens held ineligible to citizenship can not own stock in land owning corporation. In the other case the court ruled that aliens who can not own or lease land are like wise barred from entering into contracts with land owners for division of crops.
 The "gentlemen's agreement" IS an understanding between the state depart ments of the two countries that no Jap laborers will be admitted to this coun- try. It has been repeatedly charged, how ever, that Japs are being s1nuggled into the United States It is stated that there are now 150,000 Japs in California alone. The agreement, it's opponents claim, is not binding because it was negotiated only by the state department, with the approval of the President, and that the senate was ignored.
 If annullment of the agreement is se- riously considered by congress 1t will reopen the entire Japanese question, and may develop some feeling, as has been the case on former occasions.
 The plan to prohibit immigration of persons ineligible to citizenship, which means Asiatics, is constitutional, its ad- vocates declare. They point to a recent decision by the United States supreme court that persons entitled to acquire citizenship in this country were members of the white race and persons of Afri- cans nativity or descent. The Japanese, Malays and Hindus were ethnofogically separated from the white race by the de- cision, which was repeated by the su- prene court in its recent ruling that the states of California and Washington have the right to prohibit Japanese from owning or leasing land.

Striking Typos Win
 Injunction Contest

Asheville, N C.. Dec. 8.-Superior Court Judge Me Elroy has dissolved fine temporary injunction '. issued against striking printers employed on two newspapers in this. city. The hearing was had on the publishers appeal to made the court order per manent.
 Judge McElroy ruled that the plain fiffs failed to prove a single charge against the printers. While the pub Fishers may appeal to the state SUI preme court, Judge McEiroy ordered that if they do, they must deposit bond in the sum of $I5,ooo to indem- nifty the strikers for any irreparable wrong done them.
 The verdict is blow to the pub fishers, whose attack on the union has been one series of blunders.
 The strike was caused by a wage dispute. The employers demanded ffat the old rates be renewed for five years. They refused to arbitrate, and fhese facts have been given the wid- est publicity by the workers

PORTO RICAN WORKERS APPEAL
 FOR RELIEF

Washington, Dec 8.-"The wage workers of Porto Rico do not believe island politicians who tell them that independence from the United States will solve our economic burdens, said Santiago Iglesias, senator from Porto Rico and president of the Por- to Rican Federation of Labor. He IS now i'll Washington to interest the new congress in the Porto Rican situation.
 Tn a visit to President Coolidge he suggested the creation of a federal in- dustrial commission to investigate the economic and industrial situation in Porto Rico Senator Iglesias present ed to the President letter from President Gompers urging that some action to help the workers of Porto Rico be recommended by the Presi- dent in his message to Congress.
 Porto. Rico IS deserving of a status that will permit better development of the life of the island. Our people need better education, better homes, better clothing and better food The island produces all of life's necessities, but too much of the fruits of Porto Rican effort is. exported for the bene- fit of absentee owners said the trade |unionist.
 Porto Rico wants an elective gov |ernor; 1t wants an island government responsible to the people of the island. It wants citizenship to mean some thing, as 1t does to those who live on the mainland The masses of the peo- pie of Porto Rico have no desire to set up independent government, but they do want to share in the full bene- fits of the American form of govern ment, American institutions and American citizenship"
 Senator Iglesias referred to the financial report of the Cuba Cane Sugar Corporation, just published in Wall street, as indicating how Porto Rico is exploited The corporation shows net profit the past year of $o,336, ,276, after interest, discount and taxes were paid.
 These corporations grow the cane. manufacture the sugar and transport 1t, and make profit on each trans action," said Mr Iglesias Wages are $I.25 for Io-hour day. them ployment is at all times to be found on the island, and these corporatoins are draining the island of its resources and putting nothing back
 There are 776,3o6 acres of the is IdHu ; CHOlCSSl IdIu uHuefF lIG COnITOl of 447 American, Spanish and French corporations. and individuals. We have all the evils of absentee ownership, and faulty systems of education, in- dustry, credit and sanitation
 The people of the United States have exercised most profound inf1u- ence on Porto Rico, which is just from a monarchial system and it's autocratic ideals. The wage workers are far enough advanced in economics to know that their prob lems will not be solved by independ- ence. Instead, a sympathetic congress can do much toward strengthening the bonds between the common peo- pie of Porto Rico and those of the United States.

THE PALACE.

Another notable Palace booking for the first three days of the coming week brings another name prominent among the best of American vaude- vile attractions. This is the ininit- able dancing and singing codemian, Roscoe Ails, who, with his gathering at clever assistants forms the head line attraction at the Palace for Mon day, Tuesday and Wednesday.
 Ever since syncopation struck New York and carried Broadway by storm Roscoe Ails has been one of it's great est and cleverest opponents Not only an artistic but an originator he has kept in the van of the daily advance ment of offerings of the class in which his act is rated. There is no attrac- tions among the stellar numbers in big vaudeville that has played as many engagements in New York theatres as Roscoe Ails. In many cases he has repeated at some of the theatres remaining at the head of various bills for two and three weeks, something speaking volumes for his Metropoli- tan popularity a
 In his present season production Roscoe Ails is accompanied in his en- tertaining half-hour by Katie Pull man, Charles Calvert and the Univer- sity Orchestra, triumvriate of sup porting features that does much to place the attraction at the very top notch of supreme vaudeville.
 Johnny Copes and Charlie Moore are known as Two Nuts Doing Nut tin'r In the language of today ec- centric fun makers are called nut" comedians and the style of songs and talk, or rather their method of put ting these over, is such as to con vince one that these two chaps are really being chased by the squirrels.
 s If there is real, live guaranteed laughing act in vaudeville then that act is "The Jazz Circus which Dan Sherman, Mabel De Forest and Com pany are handing out to roaring audi ences. Funny situations, hilarious dialogue and general conglomera stion of upr roarious comedy are the in griedients that make Dan Sherman's presence on the bill one of unadulter- ated birth.
 Little figures made so natural that it IS hard to believe that they are wood and wax, and manipulated by fine wires so that their motions are absolutely human, are features that make Schlichtl's Royal Wonderettes a bit of vaudeville entertainment en- joyable and unique. The ordinary marionettes such as are often seen do not begin to compare with the me cIanical perfection which has been obtained in the making of these pup pets. .

 Congress IS in Session. The welkin rings. The Congressional Record comes out as of yore. Palaver proceeds pious- ly.
 It is all interesting.
 One thing that remains to be seen, as always, is whether congressman will talk and act now in accordance with their proclamations of campaign days.
 Immigration will be one of the first big issues to the front
 Cheap and foolish employers want immigration. Congress may try tricks with immigration, seeking to tack inn possible provisions onto the measure
 It will be a very good thing for the American people to keep in close touch with their congressman during this ses- sion. writing personal letters in clear tnrnistakable language

TRADE UNION MOVEMENT IS GREAT
 FACTOR IN AMERICAN LIFE


 No history of the nineteen tn century will be complete that fails to give due attention to the rise, influence and power of the trades union movement, symbol ized by the American Federation of La bor.
 The American Federation of Labor its underlying cause and overlapping incentives are founded upon a profound metamorphosis in social and economic conditions which no man could have foreseen a century ago. The American Federation of Labor has been the domi- nant agency through which has been cry stalized the principle of collective bar gaining. Through collective bargaining . philosphic spirit of altruism has beer tempered by practical dealings and made to serve efficiently in the solution of pro. blems ever arising in our industrial ano social life.
 Profteering by the error of its prede- cessors in the field of experimental l1n- ionism, the Knights of Labor, which withheld from the worker the pride oi his craft, ignored the superior qualified tions of the members of given trade to determine issues peculiar to their call ing, and attempted to rule by force ra- fher than good will, the American Feder- 
 which has been justified and vindicated by time and events
 In its comparatively brief span of life the American Federation of Labor has bound together in common cuse over 4, 100000 wage earners. It has reared a great edihce It has built vast struc- lure for humanizing people and elevat- 1lg life standards.
 It had the foresight of seeing growing strength and increasing powes fthose in the vanguard of industrial develop ment, and of realizing that without some correlation and coordination of workers the vast mass at the machine would be grounded down almost to dust
 Those who have so long opprssed the workers have selfish and personal req sons of their own to condemn trade un- ionism Others find fault because of mistakes made by labor; yet all move ments and vast activities of whatever kind are not free fro nleror and fault But the virtues and the cause of organiz- cd virtues and the cause of organized workingmen are clearly demonstrated by the larger and ever arger acceptance by employers fthe tenets whic htrade un- ionism originated and has fought for through more than generation.
 Yesterday collective bargaining was
  spurned as an impossible thing. Today ft is fast becoming the order of things The shorter worlday was near-treason yesterday. Today it is accepted, even by the steel nagnates, and the whole world knows that it is right and sound economy in the human schemes of things. Early in October the American Fe- iteration of Labor met in anual session in Portland, Oregon This was the for fy-third annual session of American la bor's parliament It was great gather ing. It was a great meeting of labor's representatives It demonstrated that rade unionism has ideals that are whole some and elevating: that it visions and plans more than for the immediate fu- fiire; that its horizon extends beyond the workshop and that it represent all that IS just in government, sound in econom- ics. clean in politics and good for the public welfare and well-being.

State Loses Gas Appeal

Washington, Dec. 8.-The United States supreme court has ruled that the state of West Virginia can not control its natural gas In an effort fO conserve this resource, the state limited the amount of gas that could be sold outside the state. Industries beyond the state line that depend on fine gas challenged this law. The case has been before the supreme court several times. The court set the law aside on the ground that natural gas entered into interstate commerce the maoment it entered pipe lines.

Rail Values Stand

Washington, Dec 8.-The inter state commerce commission has de- ciined to reconsider its work in the physical valuation of the country's railroads. Petitions making such a demand, presented by the national conference on valuation of American railroads, which is headed by Senator La Toilette, were dismissed.
 The conference sought to have the commission establish the original cost of property investment and labor in railroads. The present valuation work was declared unsound.

As Webb himself admits, this was the first time-after twenty years of party history-that "all workers by hand or brain" were publicly invited in The Party had been built up exclusively as an alliance of labor unions and Socialists intellectual sects. Brain workers had been invited, but only Soviet brain work ers-and they had entered in arge num- bers, taking full advantage of their spe- cial privilege. Socialist labor union ists had been admitted but no non-So- cialist brain workers.
