 TF MARRIAGE FAILS" PLEAsEs AT COLISEUM

"If Marriage Fails, which through it's hold and absorbing discussion of the divorce question
 and it's powerful, human and ap- pealing characterization has been
 enthralling audiences at every show at, the Coliseum Theatre will be seen there for the last
 time today when 1t ends its twp day run. This C., Gardner SulIi- yan production. avoiding salacious- ness, is nevertheless one of the most daring and interesting pic tures ever filmed by the noted di- rector John Ince. It lifts the veil from the mockery and sham of | monied society," permits the epectator to peer behind the cur tain at the "petting parties" the orgies of the rich, and the life that is lead by the wild and veal.

 Something different in the way of scenery, settings, atmosphere and backgrounds may be expect ed, for the major part of the ac- tion takes place in an isolated port On the East African coast. However. many of the earlier scenes are laid on board a big ocean freighter, and it is here that very realistic fight is stag. ed between two of the officers for love of Miss Vidor, who is the lone woman passenger aboafd

POLAR PLIERS HERE ENROUTE
 TO FAR NORTH
Capt. Wilkins and Lieut. Eielson Going to Point
 Barrow, Expedition

On their way to Point Barrow where they will establish a base from which they will explore tas Arctic regions east of Point Bar TOW, Lieut.. Ben Eielson and Capt. ] George H. Wilkins passed through Juneau yesterday on the steamer ,, Yukon.
 The work of this expedition will be carried out by the two men alone, and will start immedi- ately Nupon their arrival at Point Barrow, Lieut.. Eielson said. Thls exploration is in reality a con tinuation of the work done by the Wilkins expedition two years ago. but different areas are to be ex- plored.
 "The purpose of our expedi- tlon," said Lieut. Eielson, lis to explore the area east of Point Barrow, in the polar regions, pee paratory to the establishment of meteorological stations.
 When this work is completed, and similar work ill the areas around the North pole, it is plan ned from data obtained at sl.k stations, to forecast the weather for long periods in advance. As the situation is now, weather for only short periods can be forecast because of lack of knowledge of world wide conditions.
 | Make Forecasts
 with information continually coming in from such stations as will be established when our worlx is completed, it will be possible to make forecasts for weeks and even months in advance"
 Continuing, Lieut., Eielson de. clared that their plane was one of the finest he has ever seen. Built of light wood throughout, the monoplane is much lighter than those used by the Wilkin 5 expedition of 1926. No wires or wing supports of any kind are used externally, giving her great CT speed because of less surface for the wind to strike upon.
 It is a Lockheed Vega, with 2 220 H. P. Wright J-5 engine, which is capable of making 40 to l5o miles per hour, and will take off | at HOO revolutions, while the
 maximum revolutions are more than 1900. It has 40 miles psr hour more speed than those used two years ago, Lieut. Eielson as serted, and added that he is con- fident it will carry $500 pounds.
 For aoout three months the ex- petition plans to remain in the Arctic regions, working steadily eastward, and at the end of that time will return home via Europe. l Lieut.S Eielson is one of the l pioneer Alaska aviators, has many friends throughout the entire ter ritory, and is undoubtedly one of the finest aviators in the entire country. For the past six months he has broatened his knowledge of planes as an inspector of air mail pilots for the government, which position has taken him across the continent four times and has given him an opportunity to fly in practically every type of plane made, he said.

he can pay capital.
"This bill, like many another bill,
has been worked up under good name
and then fixed in the worst possible
form. Everybody believes that in the
next war capital should be drafted on
equal terms with men, and the pre-
tense is made that this bill will ac-
complish that purpose. 1t will do no
such thing.
"This bill does not draft capital at

for capital. | do not propose to have
the rank and file of the great Ameri-
can Legion fooled by any such fake.
All the evils which you describe in
the World War would be made worse

Teachers in Seattle Sign
yellow Dog" Contracts But
Continue Fight For Rights

Seattle, Wash. Q. L. N. So
Rather than have the teaching stats
of the Seattle high school disrupted,
union high school teachers have voted
to sign, under protest, "yellow dog"
contracts offered them by the school
board. The contracts contain a clause
renouncing their right to belong to
union while teaching in the Seattle
schools.
The teachers have not given up the
fight for their union, which is affili-
ated with the American Federation of
Teachers, and are carrying the battle
to the state supreme court and are
appealing to public sentiment.
1t has been erroneusly reported all
over the country that President Will
liam Green, of the American Fedora
tion of Labor approved the decision
of the teachers to sign the contracts.
This is not true. Mr.. Green tele-
graphed the secretary Of the local
central body as follows:
"Only advice / can give is for local
movement to cooperate with the
teachers in every way and use all hon.
orable means at your command to pre-
vent school teachers from being forced
to sign individual contracts which
provide for surrender of their per-
sonal and legal rights"
The action of the Seattle school
board was strongly condemned by Mr..
Green in a statement made recently.
He said:
Il have been advised that the Seat
tie school board has perementorily
demanded that as a condition of en-
sign individual contracts declaring
they are not members of the Amer
lean Federation of Teachers or any
local thereof and will not become
members of said organization during
the term of the proposed contract.
at seems incredible that the Seat
tie school board has peremptorily
an un-American position. The right
of voluntary association for human
ployment all teachers in Seattle must
an American right which must not be
abridged The right of free assem-
blage and association is one which
every true American will cherish and
defend.
at is an insult to the teachers of
Seattle to call upon them to surrender
their constitutional rights to volun-
tarily join an American organization
of their own choosing. The action of
the Seattle school board calls for the
condemnation and opposition of or
ganized labor and it's friends"

CHICAGO MINISTERS
DenOunce Brutality in Min
ers' Strike

Chicago. U. L. N. S.)-An attitude
sympathetic with the striking coal
miners and a strong condemnation OF
operators and the government was ex-
pressed in a report adopted by the
Chicago Methodist Ministers confer
ence
The report, presented by the public
policy committee Of the conference
characterized the coal country as "an
area of civil war;" and declared civil
liberties are curtailed and right OF
assemblage denied; suffering almost
unbelievable on the part of women and
children, police brutality, destruction
of property and loss of life are results
"We urge that immediate steps be
taken toward impartial arbitration OF
the present dispute" the report reads
| "We condemn as un-American the
substitution of government by in
junction and subsidized police for the
! orderly processes Of civil law.

POWER TRUST is
ALERT

Washington.-The alertness of the
power trust in blocking every oppo-
sition was shown when the Federal
Trade Commissions probe revealed a
protest to Will Rogers, the humorist
who made this reference to Muscle
Shoals: when you see a $150,000,00
plant lying idle here it gives you an
idea of the pull in legislation that the
power trust exerts."
The publicity agent of the North
and South Carolina utility interests
wrote to Rogers that "there is an OBJ
vious absence of the fun motive" in
the statement.
The attorney for the commission
asked the publicity agent if Rogers
replied to his protest.
"He did not" was the answer.
"He is still humorist, said the
attorney.

effort, the 40-hour week for night
workers in Chicago union job print
ing plants was inaugurated June Is.
The work week henceforth will be
constituted of five nights of eight
hours each, with no work on Saturday.
The agreement was reached through
a committe of five employers repre-
senting the Franklin Association of
Chicago and five members represent
ing Chicago Typographical Union No.
16. Those signing a proclamation
just issued are as follows: Bernard
Snyder, Arthur Balfanz Veit Gentry,

Will Eliminate Friction
This latest achievement in the job
printing indusary of Chicago will go
far toward eliminating friction be-
tween employers and employees and
the promotion of stabilization and
peace. 1t is the outstanding achieve
ment of the administration of Presi-

elected ecretary-treasurer of the In
ternational Typographical Union, who
is just now rounding out his first

LOUIS NAU
Is Again Elected President
of Carpenters Union
Other Officers

At the regular meeting of Carpen-
ters Union No. 637, the big business
feature was the election of officers.
Louis F. Nau was again chosen presi-
dent. Nau has been elected so often
to this position that he can hardly
think back to the time when he wasn't
his organizations chief officer. Her
man Perpingon was reelected bust
ness representative and he, too has
been on this job for many years.
Many others of those elected have
held consecutive possession of their
positions many times. The other Off
GERS elected are:
Vice president, John Einsfeld; re-
cording secretary, Peter Schmitt;
financial secretary, Charles Chapen;
treasurer, Herman Perpingon; war
den, E. B, Shuler; conductor, Tom
Hedburg; trustees, Scott Symes, JOS
eph Gallagher and Harlan Montel; ex-
ecutive board, c. N. Wilkins, Peter
Schmitt, Louis Nau, Charles Chapen,
Clarence Holden, John B. Jobe and
Herman Perpingon; examining board,
John Symes, Ora Chapen, William
Hancock and Herman Perpingon; ap-
premiership board, Charles Druck,
William Vonhagen and Herman Per-
pingon.
1t is readily to be seen by scanning
the above list that the affairs of the
Carpenters Union is in good hands
for the coming year.

Green Sees Five-Day Week
For All Industry Coming
Even Sooner Than Expected

New York City G. L. N. S.)-The
| five-day week is coming in American
industry faster than it's friends ex-
pect, President William Green, of the
American Federation of Labor said
in an address at meeting of gar
ment workers held to celebrate the
beginning of the 40-hour week in the
cloak and suit trade here.
An audience of 1000 men and wom-
en- filled the Manhattan opera house,
while thousand workers who were
unable to get seats fingered in the
neighborhood to cheer their leaders
when they left the hall.
Green praised the garment union
chiefs and the rank and file for OBJ
tanning the shorter work week. He
told them that the A. F. of L. had
made the attainment of the fve-day
week one of its chief ideals and the
shorter working period was being es-
tablished just as fast as the indus
tries showed they were ready for it.
He predicted that many industries
would have the five-day week much
sooner than the hackers of the move
ment expected.
Other speakers were Morris Sig
man, president of the International
Ladies Garment Workers Union;
Vice Presidents Benjamin Schlesinger,
David Dubinsky and Salvatore Ninfo;
julius Hochman, manager of the joint
board; Morris Hilquit, union counsel,
and former Justice Jacob Panken.
Schlesinger received a special ova-
ton as this was his first speech since
his official return to the union after
an absence of five years.

CAPITAL AND LABOR
Draft Bill Called Fake by
Iowa Senator

Washington.-The "capital-and-la-
Dor draft" bill, pending in congress,
was denounced as "a fake" and "a
Mussolini movement" by Senator
Brookhart in letter to an Iowa con-
stituent.
The bill does not provide that cap
ital shall be drafted, said Senator
Brookhart, who declared the measure
is designed to put autocratic power in
the hands of a president.
''They say we can trust the presi-
dent to fix the wages of capital, but
we do not trust him to fix the wages
of men," said Mr.. Brookhart. $50 far
as | am concerned there will be no
draft bill until congress also drafts

Vicious Saturday With
Broken Starting Time
Ends After Long Fight

the wisdom of granting the 40-hour
week to the men and women engaged
in the industry is strong indica-
ton that the employers are alive to
the interests of the industry and that
| they are awake to the fact that pro-
motion of the welfare of the employees
will promote the welfare of the in
dustry as a whole.
Old Week a Nightmare
The six-night 44-hour week for
night workers in printing offices here
was a nightmare and a curse to those
who had to work under the system
The first five nights of eight hours
each were not so bad. The starting
time was anywhere from about Ais
to 6 o'clock p. M, depending upon the
shop where the work was performed
On Saturday it was different. The
day shifts in practically all of the
shops quit work at II o'clock noon
Regardless of what hour they quit
work Friday night, nearly all night
shifts had to be on the job at II
o'clock noon to take up the work
where the day shifts left off
Tired and worn out, without suff-
cient time for rest and recuperation,
and perhaps after a hasty and scanty
breakfast, the printing office employe
would drag his tired body to his or
her hated task, there to get through
the four hours without regard to quail
Iity or quantity of output.
Exhausted at Weeks End
Through with the four-hour day on
Saturday, which seemed like a full
day and then some, the worn-out
printer usually made bee line for
the "hay' and was fortunate if he or
she were in fit condition to turn out
good nights work by Monday.
Production in the printing industry
in this city is found to improve in
both quality and quantity as result
of the new departure. | know where
of | speak because | have been
through the mill as night worker
in the printing industry here and else
where during many years.
May Help Unemployed
A few of the large number of un-
employed printers of Chicago may OBJ
| tain work as another result of this
latest innovation, but the number thus
benefited will be negligible, because
those already employed are found to
turn out more and better work be-
cause of their improved physical and
mental condition. This may not be
apparent at the start, but certainly
will be demonstrated in the long run.
