KOO KOO BOOSTER
FILM HAS N E "
OF LIFE
Birth of Nation May
Get Axe Monday

The case of the exhibitors of the
Birth Of q Nation" against Chief
Of Police Collins, was continued till
next Monday when it came up before
Judge Denis Sullivan yesterday. The
exhibitors Of the Birth of Nation
are trying to have Chief Collins cited
in contempt Of court for stopping
showlngs of their picture on the
ground that he violated an Injunction
obtained by them in 1915 prohibiting
interference with its showing. lna
chief Of police holds that law passed
in 1917 prohibiting the showing of
any picture that would incite to race
hatred wiped out the injunction.
The court has decided that the
chief Of police is correct in his stand
by his holding hearings to determine
IT the picture comes within the per-
view of the law.
Negroes of Chicago are indignant
at the delay the city is having in
closing the picture, which they say
is likely to lead to serious trouble be-
tween the two races. The picture is
being shown pending decision by the
court.
"The Chicago Tribune and many
people say that the showing Of THE
Birth of Nation is not being msNe
in order to cause trouble, therefore
it should be permitted to continue"
said Gordon Owens, prominent
Chicago negro. "The fact is that
the showing of this film does cause
trouble to both whites and blacks.
This infamous Birth of a Nation
picture is negro batting propaganda
of those masked skunks, the un-
speakable Ku Klux Klan."

pient of the $4,000 prize and as can
didate for the remaining $4,000,

port" ranged from indifference to
the Box propaganda scheme to con-
demnation Of the deception latent
in this league advertising campaign"
Active labor and pacifist opposi-
ton to the Box fever showed itself
in charges that Levermore is ''paci-
fist for revenue only" Pacifsts sug-
gested that there is irony in the
choice of man who identified him
self with naturalization before the
war and stepped forward as a mill
tant advocate of war as soon as hos
tilities opened. They point out that
Levermore was instrumental in
changing the name of the New York
Peace society, of which he was Sec
rotary, to to the non-committal I'm
ion for International Justice.
Labor men, communists and So
cialists here are virtually unanimous
in dismissing the Box campaign as a
hollow farce, which does not even
pretend to attack imperialism, eco
nomic exploitation and other root
causes of war. Sardonic labor OBJ
servers propose that, as a tribute to
consistency, Levermore invest his
first $4,000 in a prosperous Ameri-
can munitions industry.

A DANGEROUS Epidemic

The whole American working class is men
aced by devastating epidemic of Congress
sional proposals to cripple its effectiveness as
fighting force against unutterable conditions
of work and life.
There are today before Congress 4S bills
dealing with immigration. The house has
been burdened with SO of these bills and the
senate with seven. Practically all Of these
bills, if enacted into law, would tend to uproot
even the most elementary vestige of labor or
ganization.
In December there were introduced eight
bills in the house and one in the senate, by
Lodge, providing for each immigrant securing
certificate of admission from an American
consul before being permitted to land on
American SOIL This will empower the Amer
lean consuls, who are usually business mel
utilizing the cloak of government protection
for economic interests, to decide the fate of
millions of workers and their relatives here.
If any of these bills is enacted it will mean the
death blow to the last semblance of Americas
traditional role of serving as a haven for those
oppressed for political opinions.
One of these bills, the Raker Resolution
Oh. R. 81, aims to exclude all immigrants from
by the United States Another Congressman,
whose name curiously happens to be Vestal, is
so anxious to maintain the purity of American
capitalism, and is so jealous a Waterman of
the sacred fires of dollar patriotism that be
would register all foreign-born workers bien-
nialy upon penalty of deportation. This is
the boldest strikebreaking measure ever pro-
posed in Washington, and thousands of anti
labor bills have been introduced in congress
in the last decade.
Twelve bills provide for deportation of
workingmen for some pretense or other. Two
measures are calculated to secure the examina-
ton of workers in their home countries by i'm
migration inspectors before departure. Five
bills call for the immediate and complete sus-
pension of immigration. Then there are other
I resolutions which are distinctly adverse to the
0est interests of the workers.
All of these measures should be fought by
the workers to the last ounce of their energy
All of these bills are drawn up with the inten-
ton of dividing the workers along the artificial
lines of nationality and Of enabling the biggest
employers Of labor to get firmer grip on their
workers. Every one of these measures
strengthens the strikebreaking powers of the
government, which is already the most danger.

less of nationality, must get into the fight to
wipe out this epidemic of anti-labor legislation
that is threatening to swoop down upon the
working masses and paralyze the labor move
ment for years.

Thomas C. McRae, governor of
Arkansas, says:
"It is my conviction that prohibit
ton has been both an economic and
a moral blessing to Arkansas. There
is a tendency, fostered by enemies of
prohibition, to magnify the evils of
the illicit manufacturer, traffic and
use of Intoxicating beverages, but
the fact remains that there are thou
sands of homes in Arkansas where
a greater measure of domestic hap
exists, where less of privation
and want are to be found, all due
to our prohibition laws, state and a
tional. Business men, such as mer-
chants, saw-mill operators, construc-
ton contractors and manufacturers
tell us that labor conditions have
been more satisfactory under pro-
hibition than before. There is great
er thrift, less suffering, and more do
nestle and community tranquility

LABOR FOR PROHIBITION

The Locomotive Engineer
"Warren S. Stone, Grand Chief of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers, declares: The international
convention of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers, assembled in
Cleveland in 1918, declared by unan-
imous vote in favor of world wide
prohibition. The vote was cast by
828 delegates representing 100000
engineers in the United States and
Canada.
Section So of the bylaws of the
brotherhood declares that 'The use
of Intoxicating liquors as a beverage
by members is prohibited.

than during the days of the open sa-
loon.
Should the Eighteenth Amendment
be repealed, Arkansas would remain
a prohibition state, just as it was
for years before national prohibition
was achieved. Prohibition does not
entirely prohibit and no sensible
friend of this great reform has ever
thought that absolute success would
attend our efforts in the early stages
of enforcement, as it is a matter of
generations, not of seasons and
years. Only a start has been made,
but we will triumph ultimately.

Do Dairy Cows Pay?

With so much said about diversified farming, this question is
pertinent and highly proper for discussion. Below is one answer,
found in the statement of Mr.. and Mrs. j. A. Thorn, OF the Big
Coulee Ranch: -, -.
Unless one keeps account of his business he is apt to think his
cow r not very profitable. January 1, 1928, w re started keeping
a record of the amount our COWS were bringing US. We VIII not
take up your time with a detailed monthly statement but give you
the totals for the year:
1910 quarts of cream at an average of 37hc a quart--$46625
254 lbs. of butter at a average of a little less than 35@c 9075
Total cash for cream and butter
Estimating that we used at home three quarts of
cream per week; 152 quarts at 37Rc------ 58.5O
Three pounds of butter per week, 152 lbs. at 35c---- $500
Grand total for cream and butter
In addition to this eight of the cows each raised a calf
worth SIS 10000
Making a total of.
No Boughten Feed
This is taking no account of the skim milk that went to the pigs.
The largest number of cows MIXED at any one time was nine
and part of the time only four, a n average of possibly a trife over
five.
They never got a pound of feed that was not raised on the ranch.
The cows ar only common grade stuff, some are pretty good ones
and some n not very good.
Give US SIX or eight good dairy COWS and the Big Coulee Ranch
will still be on the map whether we get oil or not.
Lets hear from Others.
Mr.. and Mrs. j. A. Thorn.

Pay?"; "Do Hogs and Corn Pay?")

STATE AUDITOR WILL NOT
PAY ACCIDENT WARRANTS

OLYMPIA, Sept. 22.-The attor-
ney general, representing the depart
ment of labor and industries, has to-
day applied to the supreme court for
a writ of mandate, directing the state
auditor to draw warrants against
the accident fund and the state treas
urer to pay the same.
The funds used to pay the pensions
of totally disabled workmen, and
widows and orphans of workmen, and
the claims of injured workmen is
paid into the accident fund by the
employers. Provision accordingly
was made by the Legislature when it
first enacted the law in 1911. It has
been the custom, however, for the
Legislature pursuant to constitutional
provision covering to make provisions
for such payment from this accident
fund. The constitutional provision,
Article 8, Section 4, is as follows: "No
moneys shall ever be paid out of the
treasury Of this state, or any of its
funds, or any of the funds under
its management, except in pursuance
of an appropriation by law" It is
the contention of the department,
represented in court by the attorney
general, that such a provision is not
necessary, that this accident fund is
a trust fund so created, and thereby
appropriated by the original act it
self and the amendments thereto.
However, since the state auditor
has declined to issue warrants against
the fund, the sum appropriated by
the legislature at it's last session now
being exhausted, the department
through the attorney general is TAX
ing the appropriate legal remedy to
require them to issue these warrants
as above outlined.
No beneficiary of the industrial in
Isurance fund need be alarmed. At
the worst, there can be only an in
convenience of short duration. The
point at issue between the Depart
ment of Labor and Industries and the
state auditor is a mere technicality.
There are now $7,174, 1875 in the
state treasury for the payment of
pensions and claims of injured work
men, their widows and orphans. The
sole reason the auditor will not issue
the warrants against this sum is that
the legislature did not specifically au-
thorize the department to disburse it..
The department asked, and the state
finance committee recommended, an
appropriation of $5,O0O,O0O. The
Legislature provided only 100000,
the same sum which had been appro-
priated by the preceding two sessions.
At the same time the legislature
made fiat increase of % per cent in
the schedule of awards compensate
under the act.

THEATERS
'MANHANDLED" DWAN-
f. SWANSON PARAMOUNT

Gloria Swanson and Allen Dwan
have added another picture to their
production belt in "Manhandled," due
at the D & R theater on Sunday and
Monday. The story by Arthur String
er, which ran in the Saturday Even
ing Post, gives Miss Swanson a wide
range Of possibilities and those who
have seen parts of the new picture
say that she has put another crown
ing performance on top of "Zaza,"
''The Humming Bird" and "a Society
Scandal"
"Manhandled" deals with the prob
lens of life confronting a New York
shop girl, and Miss Swanson runs
the whole gamut of emotions, trying
the white lights of Broadway, taking
a whirl at being a sculptor's model,
spending some time posing--all for
a good time" But she learns in the
end that honest love is far better
than the temporary Injuries shower
ed upon her by hosts Of more or less
ardent admirers

LIGHT SUFFICIENT FOR
CITY USED ON FILM

Sufficient light was on tap at
Universal city during the filming of
"The Hunchback of Notre Dame," the
Universal production now playing at
the Wier theater, to illuminate a city
of over 100000 and the current con-
sumed during the production would
supply a small city for a year. Then
huge generator plants mounted on
trucks were constantly employed on
the grounds. A corps of IT'S electri-
clans manned those and the other
equipment used in Illuminating the
vast areas in which the scenes were
laid.
Difficulty was experienced for a
time by Director Wallace Worsley
and his chief camera man, Robert
Newhard, in keeping in touch with
his electricians and other aides un-
til a loud speaker device, which car
ried his voice a quarter of mile in
all directions was installed.
