During that period the average cost

STATE COMPEN-
SATION FAVORED
BY EMPLOYERS

Helena, Mont.-Higher costs for
workers compensation is causing
many employers in this state to inves-
tigate state-operated compensation,
according to reports to the Montana
Federation of Labor convention.
The present law gives employers
the choice of insurance with private
companies or with the state fund. The
state system usually proves cheaper
and is more satisfactory from the
standpoint of prompt and liberal ad-
iustments.

YELLOW DOG CON-
TRACT IS GUN
MANS METHOD

Milwaukee.-The "yellow dog" con-
tract is as void as promise made
before the barrel of gunman's wea-
pom, says the executive board of the
Wisconsin Federation of Labor, in its
annual report.
The unionists declare that workers
should be cautious in appealing to the
legislature to remedy evils that they
themselves can remove, but courts
have joined with anti-union employ
ers and the time has arrived for
workers TO ask for statutory relief
against the yellow dog" and to pro-
tect the right of association in trade
unions.

in Middletown. 1t was without doubt
one of the most successful meetings
ever held by the state body. Approx
mately 500 delegates, alternates and
visitors, representing 1872 unions, par
ticipated in the deliberations.
The closing hours were busy ones,
devoted mostly to the hearing of final
committee reports and the adoption
of resolutions that had been previous
ly placed in the hands of committees
for consideration. A resolution to ad-
here strictly to the non-partisan po-
litical policy established at last years
convention was adopted. President
Frey issued call to the delegates to
carry back to their local unions the
urgent message to take more active
part in political campaigns of the
future.
1t was declared that financial inter-
ests have controlled politics in the
past and have antagoniZed labor inter
ests The last general assembly was
cited as an example of this and their
treatment of labor appeals and ques-
tions was denounced.
Butler county's former representa-
tives in the. legislature were given
special citation along this line. 1t was
recalled that Representative c. G.
Falkenstein voted against the child
labor amendment after having given
his solemn promise to various persons
that he would support it. Senator j.
Lowry Miller was criticised for advo-
eating the state constabulary bill.
The convention turned down an
anti-war resolution condemning the
United States government for sending
marines to Nicaragua.
A resolution was passed in favor of
auto mechanics and gasoline men be-
ing organized. The workers educa-
ton movement with reference to
workers colleges also received favor
able recommendation
Moral and financial support was
pledged to Ohio miners in their strug-
gle, and the delegates were urged to
patronize dealers selling Ohio mined
coal.
Unanimous support was given the
referendum on petitions now being cir.
culated on the Marshall bill, asking
for the establishment of offices ot
the justice of the peace. M. B. Cain
author of the resolution, made 6
strong plea for its adoption. Thc
only opposition thereto came from
Delegate F. M. Anderson, of Sebring
His was the only~vote against the
resolution.
In closing, President John P. Frey
presented stirring goodbye message
to the convention and to Middletowr
for its warn welcome to the delegates

\ GREAT PICTURE AT THE LIBERTY TONIGHT
 PATSY RUTH MILLER

Here's a great picture!-a perfect screen story that cuts deep into the human heart; story of thrills, humor and tenderness. A magnif.cently spectacular production, and beauti fully directed cast.
 "Hel-Bent Fer Heaven" is the pie ture It opens at the Liberty tleater tonight. It is a screen version of the famous Hatcher Hughes play which won the Pulitzer Prize, and was pro- duced for the Warmers by J. Stuart Blackton.
 Tn screen form "Hell-Bent Fer Hea- ven" retains all the stirring suspense of the original play, and although for a quarter of century Commodore Blackton has been associated with not turned out a picture as compelling as able screen successes, he has never this one.
 Patsy Ruth Miller, in the leading feminine role of Jude, the young noun tain girl gives a remarkable convinc- ing characterization of courageous and lovely girlhood John Harron, as Sid, her sweetheart newly returned from the war only to find family feud awaiting him, is excellent, catching the spirit of the gay, daredevil young hero of the story.
 Gardner James, whose protrayals of "Queeruns" is known to all picture goers, makes Rufe, the religious fana- tic, a striking figure, and Gayne Whit man gives a fine performance as Andy, the hot-tempered brother of Jude. Evelyn Selbie and Milford North play Sid's parents with sympa- thy and understanding, and James Marcus makes old grandfather Hunt the kindly, shrewd old soul whose comment about Rufe, i've never seen a man so hell-bent fer heaven as he is," gives the story it's title.
