Germany Progresses As Republic.
Seattle Times

Germany has given abundant evidence that it is firmly attached to the doctrine of permanent peace. It is possible that many monarchical sym pathizers would not be adverse to planning another war, but the rank and file of the German people want none of 1t. They wish only a chance to rebuild their industries and to restore their business structure.
 The election of Field Marshal Paul von Hin denburg as President of the German Republic three years ago, gave rise to many conjectures in Allied countries. But President Hindenburg has shown by example and precept that he de- sires only universal peace. It is an open ques- tion whether he was idolized as a mili- tafy leader or as Chief Executive of the Republic

New Scores Safety Cars
For r. r. Mail Clerks

WASHINGTON, March 29.-Post-
master General New has joined with
the railroad companies of the country
in opposing the bill backed by the or
gained railway mail clerks to pro-
vide steel cars for the carrying of the
mail. The National Railway Mail
Association has for years been seek
ing from Congress this measure of
protection for the lives of it's mem
bers.
H. E. Mack, testifying on March
26 before the Senate committee on
postoffices and post roads as spokes-
man for the Missouri Pacific Rail
road Co., said that the replacing of
wooden cars by steel cars in the
mail service would cost $6O,0O0,OO0.
He considered this highly extrava-
giant. He also denied that the safety
of the railway mail clerks would be
assured by the discontinuance of
wooden cars.
The Post Office Departments letter
stating that steel cars are not now
necessary was read into the record
by Senator Moses of New Hampshire.

10 per cent of the workers voted to
return to work.
The battle" was then carried to
the statehouse. The "offices of the
textile corporation" were simply
transferred from the Amoskeag Co.,

cord. The only difference in the
fight" at the Capital was that the
workers had no representation. only
a few bamboozlers (accent on the
booze) who knew the negative result.
but were politicians enough to win
the misled workers votes.
The results have been that the
workers of New Hampshire are still
on the 81 hour schedule.

Are Hours IN
EddyStOne Co.

CHESTER, Pa, (By MaiD.-The
Eddystone Print Works, a very old
established concern, manufacturers of
printed dress goods, and known for
their ability to hire cheap labor, have
resorted to a method of installing a
16 hour shift.
The employees are grooming under
the added burden but have continued
to stick and not organize as they fear
and dread the spectre of unemploy-
ment.
A worker says that he would show
his resentment openly, but he knows
the unemployment situation.
The workers in the dye-room are
working three days from a, m, tc
9 p. H., Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday; Thursday from Goo
a. m. to 6 p. m. and Friday $50 a. m.
until II p. m.
The workers are paid 35 cents per
hour, and time and one-quarter for
overtime.
In the print-room the hours are,
three nights until II p. m. at the
above mentioned rate.
Workers have been applying for
jobs only to be refused work. A
worker is hired when someone gets
tired of the terrible grind, and during
the cold weather the unemployed
were kept outside until $3.50 a. m.
The town of Eddystone borders
Chester on the North and was put
on the map during the World War.
The munition works and rifle plant
were built here. The daily output of
guns was 5000 per day.

SAFNAT ASKAROVA MAY ACT
IN AMERICAN MOVIES

A guest at the recent midnight
showing of Gear Ivan the Terrible
at the Cameo Theatre was Brent
Dow Allinson who has just returned
from a five month trip to Soviet
Russia where he studied the country s
cinema conditions. Mr.. Atkinson rec
ognized in the film several of the
stars with whom he had "talked
shop" during his stay abroad. One
of these, Miss Saint Askarova (who
plays the czarina in the picture) re-
vealed as interesting a life as any
ever evolved for publicity purposes
by a Hollywood press agent.
She is Tartar girl, having been
born in Dagistan, Caucasus. She ran
away from home, to avoid being sold
into matrimony. She made her way
to Moscow where someone told her
she could get job in the movies be-
cause she was pretty. 1t was good
advice. From extra parts she rose
rapidly to become leading player
and eventually married the director
of Russian studio.
Her Characterization in Gear Ivan
the Terrible" undoubtedly contributes
to The success of the film which will
begin its fourth week at the Cameo
this Saturday. There is no doubt but
Hollywood may seek to add the Tar
tar girl to the ranks of imported
movie favorites.

Harry Carey, Ralph Forbes and a
long list of others.
Comparisons of this picture with
the covered Wagon" are justifiable
Despite an impossible story you'll
remember the covered Wagon" also
had one of those things) the vivid
ness of the picture of those mad
pioneer days of the Yukon gold rush
is authentic. The gold craze that
drove thousands thru indescribable
misery, suffering, bitter cold and
hardships-often death-it is all here
paraded in all of it's stark reality.
These things make "The Trail of 90"
worthwhile, whatever failure it pre-
sents in other ways.
The lavishness of production and
technical wizardry bring thrills
aplenty. A huge snowslide literally
brings mountain-side down upon
ant-like hordes Of humans. A mad
raging river, after a spring break
up, losses them like shavings upon
white foaming rapids. A city is
burned, a man runs down the street
in flames-one thrill is heaped upon
another. Yet all this spectacle, worth
seeing surely, is not enough to bring
this picture to movie greatness, even
such as we have had, whatever that
may mean.
Karl Dane, as big dumb Swede,
caught in the craze that swept the
country like wild-fire, contributes
some refreshing humor and splendid
acting to the picture. There is some
thing so low-down, ordinary human

BOSSES INSTALL
PIECE-WORK IN
DETROIT SHOPS
Use Unemployment to
Carry Out System
by a Worker Correspondent


A friend of mine was out of work
for some time in this town, so he
went to try his luck at getting a job
in Detroit, Michigan. After an alb
sence of four weeks, he is again back
in town since he got no job in De
troit.
He said that there are many job
less there. About half the men at
Ford's factory are unemployed. The
system of piece-work is being in
stalled in all automobile factories.
The building trades in Detroit is at
a standstill. One plumber told him
that for the last nine months there
was hardly any work at all. And
they do not expect any work for a
long time to come.
The increase in employment which
was reported in some newspapers is
a whole lot of applesauce.

HUNGARY HOLDS
Fascist ARMS

GENEVA, Feb. 24.-Hungary has
refused to comply with the request of
the League of Nations council that
the machine guns shipped into that
country from Italy be held as "evi-
dence" for the league investigation
next month, it was learned this after
noon. It is not certain whether the
Hungarians have sold the machine
guns or ordered them destroyed.
There were between 500 and 600 cases
in the shipment.
The incident has caused great deal
of criticism. 1t is felt in league circles
that Hungary's action will force the
league as a whole to act.
Unless a satisfactory explanation
is given by Hungary to the league
council and the Budapest government
apologies it is unlikely that Hun
gary will be invited to join the new
middle European entente proposed by
DR.. Benes, president of the security
commission.

Since its arrival in New York last
Tuesday the five casks Of gold bars
have been idle in the vaults of the
two banks, having been deposited
there without the usual stop at the
government assay office because of
uncertainty regarding it's admissa-

A similar shipment in 1921 was not

of question of ownership. No ques-
ton of title has arisen, however, in
connection with the present shipment.
The gold is understood to have been
sent here to pay for goods purchased
