COMING TO JEFFERSON

"Thank-U," another one of John Gold ems emphatic comedy hits comes to the Jefferson theatre for one week beginning Monday, with matinees Wednesday and Saturday.
 'vThank-U' has to do with small town and the people who dwell therein. The authors undertake to show i'll a highly diverting manner that the way to get rid of certain petty meannesses that exist in the Rev. David Lees Parish in Denham, Connecticut, is to drag them into the merciless light of day, so the atregoers are dntroduced, in this delect- able comedy, to an earnest self-sacrl- ficing rector who for thirty years has given his best to his people that al- ways has had to struggle against the niggardness and petty tyranny Of a pc nurious and narrow-minded vestry. When his pretty niece, brought up in Paris, comes to live with him, the real trouble begins. The people of the parish don't like her ways and scandal Is soon started.
 It has reached the point where the rector is about to resign. The father of the body in the case arrives on the scene, sees that his hitherto wayward son is being made into a man through the ln- fIuence of the rector and the girl and succeeds in making the vestrymen see their m sanness in it's true light. ''Thank- i U" undertakes to preach no sermon. However, it's little lesson being driven home almost entirely with laughter.
 LOEW'S BIJOU
 Movie fans who love real thrillers and the highly dramatic qualities will on Saturday have the last opportunity at Loew's Bijou to see Tom Mix in his latest William Fox picture North of Hudson Bay" with it's graphic story
 Headlining the vaudeville bill which of '"The Journey of Death"
 also closes Saturday night is Athol Tier, the Australian variety star, and quin- tette of stage beauties in Oddities of 1924" a revhesque novelty in three scenes. and there are also such outstand- ing features as the ''funnier than ever'' offering of Clayton and 'Lennie, and the song team of Bob Cook and Dot Oat- man.
 "A Piece of Lace" comedy laugh skit, by Jim Connors and Edna Boyne has also been scoring a hit, and the White Brothers, otherwise known as the 'Tip-Top Boys" present an opening act which has scored hit.

 Another near fight broke towards the close of the day when objections were raised to paying for hall when another could have been had for 1loth- ing. This ended however when it was shown that the Hartford C. L. U. had made the arrangements and the execu. tive board could do nothing but follow along.
 Another argument arose over the question of permitting representatives of the press to be present in the meet ing and write as they chose about happened. This arose several times during the sessions but also died out when President O'Meara stated that five years ago the convention had voted to have the meetings open and until that was rescinded the reporters were privileged to remain.
 The big fight came on the reso1u- tion for endorsement when the com mittee on resolutions threw it back onto the floor of the convention with the recommendation that it be made the special order immediately follow ing the election of officers This caused furore that lasted more than an hour finally being ended by adjournment for the new recess b11t irnrOediate111 to G,er up on the convention resuming in the afternoon.

 pointment of William w. Barry of New Haven as assistant secretary to take the record of the meetings The objections were based on the fact that he did not carry a union card and should therefore not be permitted in the convention. It was explained that there was no card that Mr. Barry could carry there being no organiza- ton to which he could affiliate and 1t was brought out that he had acted III similar capacities at past conven- tions and no objection had been raised. The agitation was started by Bridge port delegates who declared it was not aimed at MT. Barry personally but that a union man should be employed to take the proceedings.
 The question of carrying a union card wasn't the reason behind the drive as was apparent to many delegates. MT. Barry happens to be editor of The Labor News and connected with that paper since it was founded. Recently he 'got in bad" with certain New Ha- ven union men by publishing certain things to which they objected and they had openly declared they were out to get him and have him barred from the convention. Instead of starting 1t themselves they imposed upon certain ardent union men from other parts of the state and managed to get the ques ton raised on one of unionism. Their manipu1ations, however, failed in effect and although President O'Meara later in the session gave plenty of oppor funity to have the question re-opened,

! afford to spend $50 when a hall could be had for nothing. He again asked what influence prevailed to turn the Carpenters down.
 President OMeara declared em phatically that there had been no in ttuence used and that he was person | ally reluctant to meet in the presen hall when another was available fol nothing. The custom was however tc adopt the local parent body's sugges- tions and as the rules say the board must cooperate there Was no alter native but to do so. Delegate Russell then declared the expalnation sltisfac- tory.
 President O'Meara warned the dele gates that all resolutions must be in by Thursday noon and in duplicate form He then declared there was no 6usi- ness on the Secretary's desk and asked if any delegate had anything to bring before the convention or any an nouncements to make. President O'Meara of the C. L. U. stated there were two rooms available on the down stairs floor for use of committees
 The following reloslutions were then introduced:

SECOND DAY (Morning Session)

Convention called to order by Presi-
 dent OMeara at 9 A. M.
 i Delegate Dreissens, Cigarmakers
 New Haven, asked whether the secre- 1 tary had a communication on his desk
 from the A. F of L. detailing the action of the Executive Council on political endorsements. Secretary Egan replied that there was not. As former Secretary Ornburn had not arrived the matter was left open pending his arrival.
 Delegate Hotchkiss, Machinists 420, New Haven, secured the floor and stated that he understood from press reports that there had been made on the floor yesterday certain statements that reflected on his organization and it's delegation and asked ii such was so. President O'Meara replied that 1t was Mr. Hotchkiss then reviewed the statements and declared that the Ma chinists delegation was present and de- sired to state emphatically that the statements attributed to them were malicious lies and that they were able to back up that statement. He declared himself astonished that the president should have brought the matter up on the floor without first Investigating to see if they were true. He moved that the entire matter be expunged from 1 the record If such a motion was, in order.
 President O'Meara reiterated the statements, declared he had investi- gated them and had been told by rep resentatiYes of the New Haven Union that the attempt to discredit him had been made by one of the two delegates of the Machinsts Union and that they had refused to print the statements made, after sending a representative to him to ascertain the facts.
 Dee1gate Hotchkiss again emphati- Cally denied that any such effort to , discredit the president had been made by him or his brother delegate and again expressed astonishment at the president bringing it up without ceri- fcation. The officers of the C. F. of L. knew him we'll enough to know he would not be a party to any such move to start discord and if the president had been told such story 1t was malicious lie. He repeated his motion 10 expunge. President O'Meara de clared he could not make such a mo- ton but he was privileged to make his statement and 1t would be accepted.
 Delegate Tone asked if the president thought 1t proper to make any such statements as he had without first con Sulting the delegates involved to ascer- tain the truth and whether he would take the word of a newspaper man rather than that ot a union man. President O'Meara stated that a news paper mans word was just as good with him a. was union man word. There were good men in the newspaper business as we'll as in unions. Dele cate Tone admitted that was so but declared the president should first have seen the delegates before making any such statement. Delegate HotChklss declared the statements cast undue re- Aection on his organization and were unwarranted by facts. He denied ahsO- lutely that such statements had been made as attributed and dehed the newspaper to prove they had.
 Delegate Ornburn moved the }marter be referred to the Grievance Commit tee for immediate investigation SO that the facts might be known and the

He loved Karl perhaps better
