Rialto Thursday
"Children of Dust"

What a poor little boy of the New
York streets did to get one insignifi-
cant flower in big private park is
one of the many human incidents in
Children of Dust" First National
picture, which comes next Thursday
to the Rialto theatre. 1t was directed
by Frank Borzage, the young director
who made "Humoresque."
When the little urchin's mother
dies, he goes out to get a flower for
her. AS he climbs the iron gates of
Gramercy Park, the gruff old care
taker grabs him and beats him Sc.
verely.
When Archer is imprisoned for the
deed, the boys forgiveness and sym.
pathy arouses love and remorse ir
the old chaps soul. After his release
he takes the boy as his own.

er and employer fall out. There are
laws a.plenty to punish crimes against
person or property that may occur
during a strike. Injunctions, by their
very nature, trespass on the rights
guaranteed every citizen by the Con-
stitution of the United States. Be-
sides, this is supposed to be a govern
ment of law, not government of
court ukases.
Why, then, injunctions There is
only one answer to this question:
Because they help the employer to
break strikes" But the government
is not in the strike breaking business
and there is no reason why it should
help capital to lower American stand
ards of wages and working conditions.
Which brings us back to the original
premise that there is no justification
for injunctions during strikes. Why
don't the union card members of
congress, with other progressive
members, realize this, take up the
slogan of "Strike Injunctions Must
Col" and push bill for the abolition
| of such court writs +? 1t would be a
popular move not only with organized
labor. but with vast numbers of other
forward looking citizens.

The strongest opposition to the
amendment came from Southern DEM
ocrats, who claim the amendment is
denial of states rights. This opposi-
ton included Congressman Garrett, OF
Tennessee, Democratic floor leader,
and Congressman Graham, of Pennsyl-
vania, Republican chairman of the ju-
dietary committee. The amendment
was supported by Congressman Long
worth, of Ohio, Republican floor lead
er; Congressman Hull, of Tennessee,
chairman of the Democratic National
Committee, and Congressman Foster,
of Ohio, Republican, who introduced
the resolution.
The amendment came near serious
injury when reduction of the age
limit from 18 to 16 years was ac-
cepted by the committee of the whole,
but was defeated on roll call by a
vote of 1879 to 166. This proposal was
backed by Congressman McLafferty,
California; Yates, Illinois, and Thom-
as, Kentucky, all Republicans and
members of the judiciary committee,
who voted in the committee for the
| l8-year amendment.
The proposal to exempt agriculture
was rejected on the ground that the
amendment is merely an enabling act
and that exemptions can be made
after congress secures the power tt
pass a child labor law.
Sentiment in favor of the amend
ment is being developed by the Perm
anent Conference for the Abolition O.
Child Labor, Samuel Gompers, chair
man. The conference was organized
two years ago and consists of tn
American Federation of Labor and
score of other organizations that ar

augurate a campaign in favor of til
Senate's early consideration and pas
sage of the amendment.
This development of a public opir
ion against child labor will aid friend
of the amendment in the Senate, an
it will also aid the amendment whe
it is under consideration by the var

AT HAMILTON'S
LEADING THEATRES
Rialto Sunday
Temple of Venus"


Musical comedy scenes more elab-
crate than any of the stage ever has
or ever could produce, illuminate the
William Fox production of "The Tenn
pie of Venus" which comes to the
Rialto theatre Sunday for an engage
ment of four days. With thousand
beautiful girls in the most equisite
bathing costumes to be found, Henry
Otto, who directed the picture, has
produced dazzling spectacle of splen-
dor.
The grandeur of his settings was
due to the fact that the picture was
filmed on Santa Cruz Island in the
Pacific Ocean, revealing the splendor
of it's grottoes and the idyllic beauty
of it's caves and beaches. Amid such
surroundings, the girls appear like
water nymphs.

"The problems of the farmer are in
reality the problems Of all of US. The
future prosperity of everyone is de-
pendent very largely upon his pros

ture are allowed only mere subsls

are not even obtaining, and condi-
ton of permanent agriculture decay
prevails, the very foundation of our
government structure will crumble. >
Representative Arthur B. Williams, of
Michigan, in urging Farmers Coop

Destroyers Of U. S.
Needing Officers

The United States Navy is short of
officers. 1t takes 1000 line officers
to man the treaty Navy, but today
the Navy Is short Of officers on every
destroyer in operation. The. battle
ships are the only ships that are
filled up, and they are filled up with
inexperienced officers, young ensigns
out of the Naval Academy. who are
there for training.
This information has been conveyed
to Congress by high officials of the
Navy. They say that in the Naval
Reserve Force there are only Ave
officers when fifty are needed to train
the reserves. The Navy cannot get
enough officers to take the course
at the Naval War College at New
port. Every one OF the post grad
uate courses is short OF officers.
Admiral Washington indicated that
upon the present basis of appoint
ment there would be a possible
entrance into the academy of 555. He
estimated that 20 per cent OF that
number would not qualify and that
20 per cent of those who entered
would fail to graduate. Every year
there would be 2,os7 men at the
academy.

McAdoo more or less guided the ap-

good business man, accustomed to
direct clear thinking, and one had
always to concede the force of his
personality and the sincerity Of his
motives. even II one disagreed with
his judgment.
Neither Palmer nor Gregory was
