nois, Notwithstanding their long siege
OF unemployment, are eagerly grab
bling dates for the new Russian fea-
ture film. "The Beauty and the Boil

were fixed in a single day:
St. David, ILL.,, Opera House, Nov.
IS.
Dowell, ILL.,, Rex Theater, Nov. %.
West Frankfort, ILL.,, Majestic Thea,
ter, Dec. 3.
The first two are direct rentals Of
small theaters and the last is big
show house that is running the film
on a percentage basis. 1t will only
be matter of few days before thea
ters are secured in Christopher and
zeigler, ILL.,, and many other locals in
the coal belt here and in Ohio are
seeking dates.
The accompanying picture, Russia

these mining towns because it shows

Machine Tender
Meets Tragic Death
at Filler Fiber Co

MANISTEE, Mich, Nov. led
ward Jennerjahn, machine tender
in the paper mill of the Filler Fiber
company, was instantly killed in the
shop when he came into contact with
a large pulley, which the company had
been too busy" to protect by rail-
ing. Jennerjahn was caught in the
pulley, carried around one or more
revolutions, and hurled to the cement
floor.
When the officials of the Filler Fiber
company found their employee, his
body was broken and part Of his head
was gone.
Evidence given at the inquest has
proved without the shadow of doubt
that carelessness of anything other
than their receipts was responsible
for the death Of Jennerjahn, just as it
has been responsible for the death Of
hundreds Of other workers.
Company officials tried to shift the
blame to drink" but the ruse failed.
They were finally forced to admit that
altho railing was absolutely neces-
sary for safety, they had never at
tempted to install one around the
pulleys.
THE matter had been talked OF, but
ii had never been recommended by
the state inspector that this be done
and work therefore was delayed until
shop employees had time" was the
statement Of one OF the officers Of the
company.
Under the state laws, the company
could not be prosecuted unless the
state inspector gave definite orders.
No law suit threatened. so the paper
bosses put the matter on"

Congress Will Taboo
Railroad Legislation
At Its Winter Session

WASHINGTON,-No railroad legis-
lation at the winter session of con
gress. is the program Of the admins
tration.
Although the Howell-Barkley rail-
road labor bill is on the calendar for
early consideration in the house and
senate, the republican leaders have
reached an understanding approved
by the railroad lobby-that obstruc-
tive tactics shall be employed to pre-
vent a final vote on the measure be-
fore March 4. They expect the new
congress to be more responsive to the
demands of the rail companies.
