CAST THY BREAD
UPON THE WATERS

There is altogether too much bick-
ering among the laboring men. When
you start out to criticize another man.
please bear in mind that the only per-
feet man this world has known was
crucified. Don't blackball Tom Jones
because he has wart on his chin.
If he is in the union, you can at least
talk with him, and perhaps persuade
him to have it removed. He has made
mistakes-so have you and you are
the better for it. Strive to make har-
mony in your own local If you get
into an argument, forget it when the
vote is taken Work to enlarge that
union; don't be afraid to boost a
brother. You cannot climb over a
wall on a smashed barrel kicking it
to pieces will not help you over. Your
local is no stronger than the weak
est local in town The purchasing
power of all the locals, can make or
break any business concern in this
country Don't blame Jones for buy
ing unfair butter if you refuse to be
fair to the men of his trade Let's
boost a little, let's help the other fel-
low Flint.

SCHOOL OF UNIONISM

In the public schools the child re-
ceives the rudiments Of education He
Is taught to read, to spell, to write
and to figure, and nowadays is given
the elements of some accomplish
ments but he is quite likely to leave
the public schools and to enter upon
the field of industrial effort with very
distorted individualistic ideas. 1t is
the mission of the school Of union
ism to complete his education and to
teach him knowledge of real life and
its struggles But the school of
unionism has no age limit. 1t is open
to workers of all ages. Its lessons
and its benefits are open to all and it
gives to every member the opportun-
ity through association or mental
competition with his fellow members
to develop his own intellectual pow
ers to the fullest extent 1t teaches
the lesson of unity which is the ulti-
mate expression of the power of com
bination, and in proportion as the
wage-workers individually and collec-
lively learn, heed and practice the
lessons taught in the school of union

PARTYISM
Knocked a Curve by Mis-

Jefferson City, Mo.-Voters of this
state may reject the primary choice of
their respective parties without losing
their standing as members of that
party, rules Attorney General STRAIT
ton Shartel.
"Voters have right, constitutions
ally, statutory and otherwise" said
the attorney general, ''to vote their
party ticket in the state primary and
then vote as they see fit in the cleo
ton.
"The voters future intentions as
to how he will vote in the general
election can not be questioned by elec-
ton officials. The fact that he voted
one ticket in the primary will not pre-
clude him from voting as he sees fit
in the general election.
Our Supreme Court has said that
the election shall be free and open
and that our statutes in this regard
are statutes of regulation only and
not statutes of prohibition.

. Slnssly Rescue Likely

Kings Bay, June l6 Pl-Speedy rescue by air of General Tmbcrto Mobile and five men adrift with him on the ice seemed today to be pos sible.
 The large twin motored Savoia- Marchetti flying boat. which has a radio en route from Milan, left Nad- soc, Norway at midnight for l2 hour flight to Kings Bay. This is the first plane available considered of sufficient size to pick up the marooned men.
 At Kings Bay preparations were made for the speedy departure of the plane to the castaways with pro- visions. It was estimated that with in ten hours Major Maddalena. the Italian aviator flying the huge sea- plane, would be able to search over a wide area. It was therefore hop ed that in addition to aiding the Mobile party he might locate two other groups of survivors of the Italia, the party of three who start ed afoot toward North Cape and the seven men who were carried to the east in the drifting airship.
 The Braganza, which is better equipped to batter her way through the ice than the Hobby. reported by wireless today that she was near North Cape. The Hobby, which has found ice conditions difficult for her passage, was about 20 miles to the southwest near Shoal Point. the northeastern entrance to Hinlopen Strait.
 As the day advanced conditions became more favorable and it was hoped that before many hours elaps- ed the two Norwegian airmen. Cap , tain Riiser-L Larsen and Lieut.. Leut- 1ow Holm, would be able to fly east ward ill search of General Noble party.

JAP PANESE WANT THEIR OWN FILMS
Romantic Ones Of U. s. Simply
 Make Them YaWn

Tokyo, June 16 R1The long, drawn-out kiss and the hectic TO- nance of the western movies are not for Japan. Consequently when sOme- one suggests possible AmeriCan film invasion of Nippon the native producers indulge in slight but ex- pressiNe yawns.
 Only about la per cent of the for eign films exhibited in the 1,176 moving picture theaters of Japan are of American manufacture. One of the large producing companies of the Pacific coast recently opened a studio in kyoto 10 produce Japanese films. 1t closed with reported loss of some $l25,00o.
 The Japanese like their own plays and players. There are only S9 thea ters in the nation which exhibit for eign films exclusively, while there are 5S1 theaters showing only Japanese productions.
 Of the foreign movie stars that find favor in Japan. it is generally conceded that Charlie Chaplin tops , the list, with the acrobatic Douglas Fairbanks a close second. Women play an exceedingly small part in the , affairs of the Far East. and that goes for the feminine film stars. but Mary Picktord seems to be the faNorite of the American luminaries.

For. many cen. ! turics this sort of dolcful tragedy has been the theater ot Japan, and the movies have gone the legitimate one better in faithfulness to details. The new school' producers are making pictures of modern life, with their Japanese actors in dress coats

 these films are gaining rapidly il { popularity
 In many of the provincial thea ters the moving picture exhibitors charge. no admission. They get their films, which are old and spotty. for virtually nothing and make their
 profits from the sales of cakes, tea, curios and photographs. Big houses in large cities charge admissions

 average from seven to l3 cents.
 In almost all the theaters the real

TR0LLEYMEN HERE
 OPPOSING STRIKE
Deny Ballots Of District Favor
 Walkout by Union

New Britain employees of the Con- necticut Co. are not in favor Of a strike and have voted against it. &C., cording to the general belief of local trolleymen. The statement has been made that Hartford local has voted in favor of a strike, due to the com- pany's refusal to arbitrate certain working conditions now the subject of a controversy.
 Some time ago the trolleymen pc titioned for d raise in wages. anu there was talk of the matter going to arbitration if the raise Was no. granted. The company replied that the men were being paid the same as last year although living costs had shown a decline and that no in crease could be granted this year. The receipts had fallen off during comply with the request, it was said
 It was stated by tho company of ficials that if the men were in clinod to press their demands, the company would ask for a decrease in wages
 4 referendum vote was passed asking for arbitration, which the company refused. Yesterday a vote was taken on the question of strik- ing.
 According to a statement attribut-
 
 agent Of the Hartford chapter, over ano votes were cast yesterday in the Hartford district Of which New Brit ain is a part, demanding a strike. This statement is denied by local union officials. who say that out of more than zoo votes in the district only about $50 were cast and that the New Britain votes and possibly others were opposed to strike.
 'Rosides that" commented a local trolleyman ''The Hartford local is only one of 14 locals. and a vote by Hartford 10 strike would not neces- sarily mean strike"
 The ballot box was scheduled to be opened at a meeting Of the joint conference board at Fratcrnal hall in New Haven this morning at 10:30 o'clock.
