students before school hours and at
tempted to keep the youngsters from
going IN to their classes when the bell
rang. Both We'll and Mrs. Spies
man were later released from the
Marquette police station on bonds.
Two boys, Harry Tattlbame and
Gilbert Fuerst, were taken in charge
by the truant officers for their part
in the strike. Police guarded the en-
trance of the school all morning.
Several children carried banners

their signs thru the district last night.
A protest meeting Of parents met
at p. m. to discuss the situation.
The police broke up the earlier meet
ing which had gathered about Mrs.
Rose Ruer when she attempted to adj
dress the strikers" of her neighbor-
hood.

than the usual number of students
were absent from classes today. Su-
perintendent McAndrew of the Board

fused to remove Miss Tobin or take

Injunction Not New Weapon.
"The use Of the injunction in this

long hard tight. The government
always uses its cops and soldiers in

against the workers. It is the same
story in Chicago. The bosses have
asked the COPS to beat vp the strilS-

country for many year,"
Howat told the strikers the story
of the industrial court law CT

Aliens pet lnethod Of claiming the
workers to the employers" Howat
declared, "the industrial court would
have been a success and there would
have been no more strikes in Kan

MOVIE STARS
G OF PL AYED
FOR SUCKERS
Twas Good Scheme
For Producers

More "movie" fame hopes were
blighted in Judge Charles A. Will
liams' court when the Popular Motion
Picture Production Company's Of
icials pleaded guilty to playing the
confidence game.
The court might have been "loca-
tion," for all an onlooker could see.
The whole cast was in attendance
upon his honor: queen, ingenue,"
numerous heroes" and the william"
who conducted the prosecution. All
Of them had told the same tale.
Vice-president William Bauer, of
the Popular concern, had found each
one of the perfect type" and had
contracted their services for 500,
paid down by the aspiring stars. In
addition, most of the misguided hope
fuls had paid $50 for a course in
makeup, or show to sling the
paint.
Salaries were to be paid the men,
bers of the cast when the production
was released. Some of the leading
lights" had been promised as much
as SIS a week, plus their share Of
the profits. There was nothing wrong
with the scheme; only Bauer pocketed
the dough and failed TO produce the
picture.
The case had first come before a
jury, but was later taken from them
by the change of plea. Judge Will
liams will pass sentence within two
weeks.
