force some port of a conclusion today
without yielding to their refusal to
meet the union for th' purpose of
making up ft national or seml-natlon-al
wage scale. From the views of
John L. Lewis president of the United
Mine Workers' it was evident that the

negotiate for district wage scales.

At a lengthy meeting by thru ;v. s

Various other mines In strategic
points throughout the central coal

of $7.60 per day underground while
the mines that will open are expected
to offer to miners tho 1917 scale,
which has a base of about $5 a day

At the Jackson. Mich., shops of the
Michigan Central. l.OOu shopmen who
walked out Saturday were given until
July lfi to return to wolk under the

the roundhouse and took tho places of
striking shopmen. fflcla.ls announced
that necessary repair work would be
done tn the local roundhouse snd that

railroad officials agreed to settle their
wage controversy by S system agree

from a conference in St. Louis today
Little change was reported In the
strike situation in the St. Louis dis
trict whero officials and clerks took
the places of strikers to do necessary

for a central competitive field wage

after recorded their opposition to the
operators for independent wage confer

After the presentation of the oper

there was another discussion during
which the government's representa

leave a small committee from each

Mary Pickford Pleases in
Production Now at the
Alhambra
You will laugh uproariously, and
you will cry when you see Mary Plck
ford In "Little Lord Kauntleroy ' at the
Alharnbra. And you will say that It
Is one of tho greatest, if not the
greatest, of photoplays ever shown
certainly tho greatest cinema Mary
I'lckford lias ever made.
In transcribing Frances Hodgson
Burnott's famous story to the slHer-sb.-et.
Miss Pickford has sstabllehed I
her claim to the title. 'Jnccn of the '
Screen." for the essence of the book- I
version h.xs been retained and the
charm of Little Mary's interprets-1
tlona pleases beyond measure
In the lexicon of praise there are no
words comprehensive enough to set i
forth the glory of this wonder play.
Never in her career of superb work
has Mary Pickford done anything ap
proaching h-r artistry In this produc
tion. The closest bhc ever came to It
was in that masterpiece, "Stella
Maris." in which, as in ' Fauntleroy,' 1
she playod a dual rolo.
Mlbs Plckford's presentation of the I
two characters. Dearest, tho mother,
and C . I j- ; . IJrrol who later become
Lord Fauntleroy sets a new mark for
things clnomatlc Unquestionably this
picture pushes the film industry ahead
many leagues. In fact, a new goal has i
been set for all other producers to I
trtrlve for.
Tho story of "Little Lord Fauntle-
roy" 1m too well known to be repeated
here. Suffice It to say that the pick

to the Burnett plot with the return
that none who has read the book will

BLACKSMITHS, ELECTRICIANS, SHEET METAL WORKERS,
PIPEFITTERS, COPPERSMITHS, TINNERS, CAR INSPECT
TORS, CAR REPAIRERS, HELPERS ALL CLASSES.
Under strike conditions best explained by Chairan Ben W. Hooper, oi
the United States Railroad Labor Board, in his statement of July sU
reading as follows:
"In the past a man who took up the work of another
who was on strike against wages and working conditions
was termed a scab or a strikebreaker terms to which
much apprdbrium was attached. In the present situation
created by the strike of shopcraft workers men who
assume the work of the strikers cannot be justly re
proached with such epithets. This is not a customary I
strike in which the employer tries to impose upon the i
employe unjust wages and unreasonable working rules.
In this case the conflict is not between the employer and j
the oppressed employes. The people of this country,
through an act of Congress, signed by President Wilson! i
established a tribunal to decide such disputes over wages
and working conditions, which are submitted to it in a
proper manner. It is the decision by this tribunal against
which the shop crafts are striking. Regardless of any
question of the right of the men to strike, the men who I
take the strikers places are merely accepting the wages
and working conditions prescribed by a government trib- I
unal and are performing a public service. They are not I
accepting the wages and working conditions which an
employer trying to impose. For this reason public sen
t indent and full governmental power will protect the men I
