-Stearns, Greene and the rest of
the Massachusetts, block
cepting only the disabled Lodge
dominated an audience COM
posed of government employees
and their relatives, they would
have discovered Frank Mondell
had provided them with a pro-
fessional cheer-leader.
The Rah-Rah Boys.
This cheer-leader, a short, fat, red.
faced man with horn-rimmed spec
tacles and high-tension energy in his
pudgy arms, sat on the middle aisle,
front row, just under the speakers
desk and in front of Chairman Butler
and Lameduck Mondell. He watched
anxiously source of inspiration
which appeared to be the Wyoming
derelict, and at every possible chance
he leaped to his feet, thrust his arms
out over the crowd as tho to yank
them from their chairs, let out his
awful yell, and began the pumping
gestures that mark the cheer-leader
at football game.
Charles, the Baptist, Also.
At the end of three minutes of the
first serious outbreak by this profes-
sional enthuser, Hughes stepped for
ward and called for three cheers for
Coolidge, which were given to the
graceful waving of his left arm
Hughes seemed to think that he had
established decorum, but he was soon
disabused of that notion. Cal smacked
his lips over the phrase "stupendous
sum" and the mailman was up again.
A few minutes later Cal paid trib.
ute to Hughes, Mellon, his pension
vetoes, and proposed to keep America
American. At each of these points the
signal which seemed to come from
Mondell and to reach the cheer-leader
by means of tack under his seat,
sent the fat arms pumping over the
heads of the first two rows, while
grimaces that would excite the envy
of the hunchback of Notre Dame en-
livened his features.
A Significant Silence.
When Cal mentioned honesty in
government, the one-man demonstra-
ton was asleep, but the tack, or
whatever it was, woke him with a
bound, and turning in midair to face
the audience he let out a whoop that
caused even the hardened Jim Wat
son to lift an eyebrow. And so it
went thru the entire performance.
The G. o. P. old guard was not
present.
The Old Familiar Faces Gone.
Where were Pepper and Smoot and
Wadsworth and Moses and Lenroot

dexter and Kellogg and McCumber

IOWA UNION COAL
LOSING IN FAVOR
OF SCAB PRODUCT
Miners Losing Jobs by
Manufacturer Scheme
(5y Federated Press.)

DIES MONIES, Aug. 27.-Discrimi-
nation by Iowa manufacturers against
Iowa Undermined coal is charged
by committee of the United Mine
Workers local at Des Moines. This
discrimination, the local says, has
been going on for three years.
Coal From Seab Fields.
Before the unaccountable discrim-
ination set in" says the committees
statement, Iowa produced an average
of 100000 tons of coal. During 1923
state mines produced about 100000
tons. The states consumption is
somewhere around 40,000,O 900 tons.
Eastern coal is bought in the Chicago
market at prices greater than Iowa
coal. The coal has frequently been
mined in West Virginia and east Ken
lucky, both strong nonunion fields.
Union mined coal, however, is also
bought.
Miners Losing Jobs.
III discrimination keeps up, the
miners will lose all work and the op-
orators will be forced to shut down
their mines. About 400 out of the
Des Moines miners are working half
time; the rest are working about one
day week or less. This discrimina-
ton is directed not only against the
Des Moines miners. but against all
Iowa miners, numbering some 10000
men, or figuring on the basis of four
to a family, some $4,000 persons"
According to President ]. II. Har-
ris OF the Iowa District 10, over s42,-
100000 is pent by Iowa people each
year for coal mined out OF the state.

NEW YORK, Aug. Eff New York
folks want to see their favorite movie
stars on and after September 1, they
had better put pressure to bear on the
managers to concede the unions de-
mands for the two shift system and
higher wages. At an enthusiastic
meeting in Beethoven Hall, the mem
bership of the Moving Picture Ma
chine Operators Protective Union
voted overwhelmingly to strike at the
end of the month unless the bosses
yield.
Confident Of Victory.
The union is assessing its members
for 100000 defense fund and is con-
fident Of clean cut victory. Mem
bers of the General Executive Board
pointed out to the Federated Press
that the New York workers have a
record of avoiding scab places once
pickets have given them the facts. In
addition, they say that the union has
a near monopoly of the skilled opera
tors in the industry.
Before authorizing a strike the uni
on agreed to submit its demands to
arbitration. These demands call for
the two-shift system with a maximum
of six hours and a minimum of four
and wage increase OF 80 per cent.
The scale now runs from s1.1S to
S2.04 an hour. At the last moment
the Theatre Owners Chamber of Com
merce refused to negotiate the new
wage scale and the strike vote was
Shorter Day Demanded.
The union finds it necessary to cut
hours to a double shift system be-
cause Of the danger to health of OPP
orators who inhale the carbon mon
oxide fumes of the projection booth
for any length of time. The shorter
workday per operator is also made
necessary by the unemployment in the
industry. Under the two shift sys.
tenn large part of the unemployed
members will be put to work.
