Paramount Feature Film Is Picture Of Gay

Thomas Meigban will be the star at the Capitol on Monday and Tuesday, in his Paramount production White and Un- married"
 'The Mill of the Half-gods" is the fantastic name of one of the most unique settings ever staged, a Parisian cafe, which serves as the background for one of the scenes in this big feature.
 The setting is quite grotesque and fanciful in construction and investiture and is said to be a faithful reproduc- tiOn of one of the notorious dance hall cafes in ''the other half of Paris" The decorative scheme is snakes and skulls. The chandeliers are weirdly lighted groups of skulls. Over three hundred French types of all classes, tourist and sightseers, dancers, musicians, flower and cigarette girls, people the setting.
 Jacqueline Logan, ex-Follies girl who plays the leading feminine role. appears as the principal dancer of the cafe. Walter Long has the role of ferocious Apache OS the underworld

 Movie fans will also be pleased to learn that "Metro-G Goldwyn Week Cele- bration" goes into its second week Mon day, and for the second half of the ma tion-wide affair, Marcus Loew, president of the great chain of Loew theaters and president of the Metro -Goldwyn Pictures corporation, is sending to Birmingham one of his strongest photoplays Broken Barriers with it's cast of 15 famous stars.

Berber tribesmen in the surging mobs.
 Ramon Neyarro and Alice Terry have the principal roles, that of a sheik's son and missionary's daughter. The Bedouin falls in love with the Christian girl, and through his tribe saves her and Ter father from intended massacre by the Mohammedans. As the Arab, No- varra is said to have scored the greatest success of his career.
 Miss Terry looks loyelier than even as the heroine. The blond wig that she wore in all of her previous pictures has been discarded and she appears for tho first time on the screen in her natural dark-tinted bobbed hair. Miss Terry is given q strong part, the scene of the massacre being an exceptional emotional one, and the love scenes also providing for her great latitude for the display of her ability.
 "The Arab" gives you the orient in all of its wonderful color and exotic life, background for drama that seenis to have strong appeal to all alike.

What progress have the movies made in the past ten years?
 Samuel GoIdwyn, producer of "In Hollywood with Potash and Perlmut- ter" the First National picture which will be the attraction at the Trianon this week, discovered recently that the progress has been swift and far-reaehing ''In Hollywood the Potash and Perlmut- ter" shows the famous partners of the cloak and suit trade in their first ven ture as movie producers. Their first effort is necessarily very crude and Mir. Goldwyn, in order to show it's crudities, went in search of the antiquated scenery and costumes that were used in the movies ten years ago. And the search proved one of the most difficult tasks with which Mir. Goldwyn had ever been confronted.

Al POEM OF CHILDHOOD

The first piece of poetry l can re- member learning was at the age of three years. It runs:
 Twinkle, twinkle, little star, How wonder what you are:
 IID above the world 50 high
 Like a diamond in the sky.
 I never knew who wrote those lines until the other day, when I saw in the London Times that the author was Jane Taylor, the centenary of whose death has just been observed by the placing of memorial tablet in Ongar (Essex) Congregational church, where from 1911 to 1929 her father was min ister. It made me feel quite happy aft CT all these years.
 There cannot be many Engllsh-speak- ing homes today where Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" is altogether un- familiar. But of the many who may have known and repeated the words there are few, perhaps, who are sure Of the name of the author. She be- loHged to a gifted literary family, which has we'll more than a hundred volumes on art, poetry, theology, philosophy and biography to it's credit.-W.

Stop Explosions
With Rock Dust
Mine Chief Says
tey The FEDERATED Press

WASHINGTON, June 1.-Two coal
mine explosions in the United States
since the first of this year have cost
about a million dollars each in work
mems compensation, property damage
and other COSTS" says Chief Engineer
Geo. s. Rice of the U. S. Bureau OF
Mines, in an official press statement
arguing that the use of rock dust
would have prevented all this COM
bustion of coal dust in the mines.
He does not mention human lives
lost, nor suffering entailed by these
two horrible catastrophes which might
have been prevented, but asserts that
the money damage involved was
enough to have rock-duste0 al the BIZ
luminous mines in the United States.
The cost of this means of preventing
coal dust explosions, as proven by
English experience over period of
years, is from " cent to 1 cent per
ton.
In short, getting blood smeared
over our soft coal is business ex-
travagance that ought, for practical
reasons, to be cut out.

Progressive BARRIERS
Trim Officials For
Fake Resolution

The fake resolution printed in the
May II issue Of 1.-THE Union Labor
News" praising and calling this sheet
"the only bona fide labor paper in
Chicago" was dealt with severely by
the Chicago Progressive BARRIERS
Group led by IT'S secretary Joseph
Giganti, in the last meeting Of Barb
ers' Union local 54S.
The officials during the discussion
weakly admitted that the resolution
had not been passed by the organize
ton, but that it had been meant to
be brought up and passed at the meet
ing and the editor printed It through
some error. but that they would see
to it that the error would be rectined
by the editors.
The chief defender OF this reaction
airy paper was f. A. Alderman, a
member Of its advisory board, a
union Official and q former radical.

Amalgamated Textile
Workers Convene In
New York, May 80

NEW YORK, June o. Further
measures to strengthen the stand al
ready taken by the union against
wage reductions in the textile indus
try will be under consideration at the
sixth general convention of the Anal
gamated Textile Workers of America,
which will open here on May 30, ac-
cording to a statement issued today
by Russell Palmer, genral secretary of
the organization. Organizers are now
at work among carpet workers in va
rious places, including Thompsonville,
Conn: Clinton, Mass, and Amster-
dam, N. Y, Palmer declared.
The general executive board Of the
Amalgamated will meet in NV York
on May 20 to make final arrangements
for the convention. Delegates will be
in attendance from the chief textile
states and from al departments of the
textile industry.
"Along with other business" said
Palmer, "the executive board will
have under consideration plans for
stimulating resistance in Fall River
and New Bedford to the steady en-
croachments of the manufacturers in
increasing the number of looms and
amount OF other machinery for the
workers to tend at reduced wages.
The quescent attitude OF the craft
union leaders in these centers of the
cotton manufacturing industry is a
crying shame. Rambling OF revolt
among the rank and file are manifest
on all sides"
The convention, which will be held
at the Peoples House, East 18th St.,
will also nominate officers for the
coming year. to be elected by refer

COOLIDGE Will
CAMP AICN ON
MELLON PLANK
Tax Relief For FLUTES
Will be in Platform

WASHINGTON, June "A Mellon
tax plank will be written into the Re
publican platform at Cleveland and
President Coolidge will go to the
country on it, regardless of his action
on the Democratic tax measure now
before him, It was indicated authori-
tatively here today.
Little doubt exists but that the
president will sign the present bill, be-
cause 1t is the best compromise he
can get now, and business is clamor-
ing for relief from the uncertainty
over tax legislation. However, Mr..
Coolidge clings to his belief that the
Mellon plan is far superior.
To vindicate the president and to
permit the electorate to choose repre-
sentatives who will vote for the Mel
lon plan in the next congress, cap
tains of the Coolidge forces will see
that a plank indorsing it is written
into the platform, sharply defining the
tax issue between the two great par
ties.
The fact that Representative Ogden
Mills, New York, leading advocate Of
the Mellon tax plan in the house, Ia
slated TO be chairman OF the impor
tant resolutions committee OF the con
vention, which drafts the platform, Is
regarded as additional confirmation Of
the statement that the plan will be In
the platform.

WORKERS FIGHTING
THRUOUT GERMANY
FOR EIGHT HOUR DAY

BERLIN, June 2.-5itter strug-
giles are ensuing all along the line
between employers and workers in
Germany. The offensive Is primarI-
ly directed against the eIght-hour
day.
The wood industry is fighting on
this point. The ship builders for
the past IS weeks have locked out
$4,000 men who refused to work
longer than eight hours. In Berlin
there are strikes in the building in
dustry because the bosses are not
satisfied with an eIght-hour day.
The struggle in Berlin threatens
strikes In other cities. The textile
industrialists Of saxony and Thurin-
gia threaten a lockout on a large
scale unless the workers approve a
53-hour week.

CONSTITUTION
LETS 100000
CHILDREN SLAVE
Amendment is vitality
Needed to Save Kids

NEW YORK, June 2-Unless the
anti-child labor constitutional amend
ment goes thru it is impossible to
cope with the menace Of child labor,
is the judgment of the National Child
Labor committee, after twenty years
of experience in reform activity.
Despite progress that has been
made, according to conservative es-
Inmates there are still approximately
a million and half children between
10 and Is years Of age exposed to
the rigors of industry and denied
their fair share of educational oppor-
tunity" This statement is made by
General Secretary owen r. Lovejoy
in reporting to the child labor COM
mittee on its twentieth anniversary.
He draws the following contrast be-
tween conditions existing twenty
years ago and today.
Worse in 1904.
when the committee began it's
work in 1904, Az states allowed chill
dren of IA to work nine, ten, IL or
IL hours a day, and in many states
night work was common. Extensive
lists of occupations in which children
were employed were entirely outside
the scope of state laws and local ordi-
nances, and the number of child labor
ers had become so great as to cause
national alarm.
To-day =. all but seventeen
states now enforce a maximum eight
hour day to safeguard children of IA
years against overwork, exhaustion
and exposure to danger. Thirty-six
states forbid employment of any child
under IA at night work in factories
and stores"
Laws Not Enforced.
But that benighted standards still
exist in many states is shown by the
following figures: in North Carolina
children Of IA may now be legally en-
ployed IL hours day, and in Georgia
boys Of IL and girls of IA may be en-
ployed without violation of law. A
number of states still practice the dis
ingenious policy of passing very good
child labor laws and then starving the
official department by inadequate ap-
preparations so that enforcement of
the law becomes impossible"
Child labor in agriculture consti-
tutes one of the most serious phases
of the problem because of the number
employed and the difficulty of enforc-
ing usual limitations of hours and
ages.
