70,000 SCOTSMEN
RUSH TO AMERICA
IN SEARCH OF JOB
Skilled Tradesmen Unable to Find
Work at Home Flood U. S.
and Canada.
Glasgow, Nov. 24. Seventy thous
and Scots, most of them wrenched
away from home by unemployment,
have emigrated since the first of this
year, the majority going to Canada
and the United States.
Tradesmen unable to make a good
living at home compose a large part
of the moving mass. Of skilled
craftsmen, no longer able to find work
in the industries that feed the Clyde,
hundreds have gone hopefully west
ward engineers, building trade arti
sans, iron and steel workers highly
skilled labor that Britain deeply re
grets losing.
Not long ago an American touring
the Highlands and the Lochs near
Glasgow remarked - to his Scottish
host that it seemed a pity men had
to pack up and leave such a beauti
ful environment, whose legends and
traditions were rooted deep in their
hearts.
"Aye., but ye canna live on scenery,"
said the Scot.
PLAN NEW PAPER

New York Socialists to Start Weekly
Following Collapse of Supposed

New York, Nov. 24. Plans for estab
lishing a Socialist weekly paper to take
the place of The New York Call and
The Leader, which recently were sus
pended, will be discussed tonight at a
meeting of .the Socialist Party at 7 East

. Joshua Lieberman, , Executive Secre
tary of the Socialist Party, announced
yesterday that a considerable sum of
money, to cover a year's publication de
ficit in publication,- already has been sub
scribed by Socialist for the weekly and
that it is, expected that the paper will
appear in a few weeks. He also said
that the publicaton of the weekly paper
would not eliminate the hope of starting
another Sociaist and labor' daily and that
a special committee is preparing a re
port on the subject.
Vast Sums Invested
In Coal Lands
I V
Washington; Nov. 24. The total
value of the anthracite coal lands in
this country, all of which are located
in Pennsylvania, are $989,900,000, ac
cording to estimates by the engineers'
advisory valuation committee of the
United States coal commission. The
report gives the total amount of re
coverable anthracite coal as "8,979,
474,000 tons. ' - - ... '
"From a study of past production,"
the enginers say, "we estimate as a
conservative basis of value that the
field as a whole can increase to about
100,0-0,000 gross tons per year and
hold, this average production to the
end of the 40-year period allowed for
available coal."
The average t royalty paid on all
coal sold was found to be i6yi cectts
per tori.
The engineers estimate the total
value of bituminous coal lands in the
United States, not including Alaska,
and plants and improvements on these
lands, is $11,442,864,000. Pennsyl
vania with a total value of $2,778,000,
000 is the largest bituminous state,
and West Virginia is second with
total value of $2,111,640,000.
Secret Union Foes
Are Hard to Combat
. Washington, Nov. 24.- It is a far
more acceptable fight to combat anti
; union employers than to fight the in
fluence of destructive radicals in the
trade union movement who work in
the dark and in a more insiduous way
than does the most unscrupulous em
ployer, said James Wilson and A. J.
Berres .delegates to the A. F. of L.
metal trades convention, in reporting
to the membership of the Pattern
Makers League of North America.
The first-named delegate is presi-
dent of the Pattern Makers' League
and the latter is secretary-treasurer of

bringing about results . other than
those of a destructive nature to wage
earners," the report declares.

Oppose War-Time Law
Spokane, Wash., Nov. 24. The
Central Labor Council has called on
the city council to repeal the ordin
ance on syndicalism for the reason
that it denies free speech, free press
and free assemblage, and places too
much power in the hands of officials
who would enforce the act.
"The only excuse warranting the
passage of this ordinance was the ex
istence of war, the unsettled state of
opinion and the then apparent over
ruling necessity for the preservation
of order," the resolution declares.
The unionists point out that they
were always opposed to the act "not
f . , -it ,1 .
irora any sympamy wim ine practices
against which the law was . directed,
but from fear that so drastic a meas
ure would lead to great injustice in its
administration."
WAGE DEMANDS
(Continued from Page One.)
forced their wages to the same point.
The differential between the bricklay
ers and plasterers and the other
trades had for years been only $1,
with the result that the latter at once
thought they had a grievance when
the gap was widened.
More directly, the present demand
results from the success of the mar
ble cutters, members of the new
Building Trades Council, in winning
50 cents a day more from their em
ployers, with the promise of arbitra
tion on a second 50-cent demand.
This was in October. Three weeks
ago the old Building Trades Council
decided that what this union, acting
independently, could achieve they
themselves could win working togeth
er. The request for $11 a day fol
lowed promptly.
COAL CO.S' HEAD
(Continued from Page One.)
crease, encouraged as they are by the
success of the anthracite workers this
year. The present rate of pay in the
bituminous fields is about 50 per cent,
higher than before the war, but in
view of other conditions for in
stance, the fact that the mines run, at
the outside, only 75 per cent, of the
time the miners say they are not
able to produce a living wage. The
operators feel that the wages are not
in keeping with other trades and will
insist upon a reduction. .
"Both sides are deeply interested in
the national versus district agree
ments. Prior to the war there was
no national agreement. Each of the
big bituminous centers Central
Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio
and Illinois, for instance had its own
agreement with the operators and
miners. It was so arranged that these
agreements expired at digerent times
during the year. To provide against
a strike, should one occur in one dis
trict, the other districts could speed
up production and reduce the effect of
the existing strike."

( 121, Western Newspaper Union.)
"Labor" had been to me a phrase;
But now through all my length of days
It means no mere "commodity,"
But human, beings Just like me-
Who live and love and plan and hope
For greater things. And if they grope
In dull, blind fashion, crudely planned,
I shall not fail to understand.

GARMENT TRADES
CUT ALLOWANCE ON

Cleveland, Nov. 24. Because of a
readjustment in the ladies' garment
trade, the period of guaranteed em
ployment and the unemployment al
lowance for 1924 are reduced in a de
cision handed down by the board of
referees maintained jointly by the In
ternational Ladies' Garment Workers'
Union and, the Cleveland Ladies' Gar
ment Manufacturers' Association.
The period of guaranteed employ
ment was reduced from 41 to 40
weeks, and the unemployment allow
ance will be 50 per cent, of the mini
mum wage instead of 66 2-3 per cent.
The wages remain unchanged, but the
board reserves the right to take up
the wage readjustment again in April.

are permitted to employ casual work
ers for a period of four weeks. Ten
pe rcent. of their payroll is set aside
by the manufacturers as a fund from

THE PALACE
It is quite in keeping that a great pro
duction such as M. Golden's "Yarmark"
should have such a star as Theodore
Stepanoff at the head of its cast. "Yar
mark" is a Russian phrase which trans
lated into English means a night at the
carnival. M. Golden whose vaudeville
conceptions are attracting widespread at
tention at the present time has made
taken this idea of a Russian village car
nival and rounded out an act that is
novel, unusually entertaining and clever
ly done to a degree. This. act heads the
bill at the Palace for Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday.
"Yarmark" is festival of Russian
songs and dances, particular attention
being paid to the latter. The popularity
of Russian dancing is just now at its
very peak and the appearance of such
a noted terpsichorean artist as Theodore
Stepanoff is froth with interest. Stepa
noff is one of the greatest exponents of
Russian dancing to come to America
and his work is sensational . A big com
pany of Russian singers and dancers ap
pear in support of the' noted star in
"Yarmark." The act is the last word
in staging, the realstic setting being one
of its striking features.
Al Anger has entered into a new part
nership and the former member of the
well-known team of Anger and Packer
now has Dorothy Morley as a running
mate. Every vaudeville goer knows Al
Anger , for he. is one of variety's best
comedians. Mr. Anger and Miss Morley
are presenting a brand new piece of
stage hilarit ywhich they call "Slapped."
Its as good and as funny as any act
with which this lnished comedian"' has
been identified.
Vaudeville audiences are given an inti
mate view of one of those institutions
that make lean ladies plump and plump
ladies lean in Billy Batchelor's Revue
which is called "The Beauty Shop." The
light storp provides the fun and Billy
Batchelor assisted by a quartette of
charming girls provides the melody and
dancing of which there is plenty.
Syncopated songs are given super ele
vation by Combe and- Nevins, two men
who style themselves "Those Syncopat
ing Entertainers." Just now jazz is the
modern monarch and these two chaps
have places close to its throne. .
A season or two ago vaudeville won
two recruits from the legitimate stage in
Robert Hyman and Virginia Mann. So
decided was the success of these two
clever people that they have not to the
legitimate stage and the chances are that
of vaudeville managers have ther way
they never will. "Long Distance Love"
is the tittle of the sparkling little one
act comedy which Hyman and Mann are
presenting. This laugh' maker treats on
modern life and its fun is derived from
a natural course of events that might ap
ply tor the daily lives of thousands of
American citizens. 4'Long Distance
Love" is a comedy but it is much more
logical than many dreams.
A pretty and sprightly singing girl is
Melva Telma whose songs of a topical
nature are written especially for her.
This sunny spot on the Palace bill for
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday is due
for real appreciation.
- Lloyd Nevada takes mirth by one
hand and mystery by the other and pi
lots them through fourteen minutes of
unusual entertainment. Birds and peo
ple appear and disappear most mysteri
ously but in a manner that creates no
end of fun. Mr. Nevada finishes his act
with a- battle between an aeroplan and a
Zeppelin - and this is very spectacular.
This entertaining surely has hit upon the
hne idea.01 using fun as a lubricant for
his illusions and its no " wonder things
run so smoothly.
Featured on the Palace screen for the
first three -days of the week "On the
Banks of the Wabash" is good home
like drama posessing all the pathos and
heart " touches naturally expected of a
picture which was inspired by Paul
Dressers famous ballad, the memory of
which will probably never die. Life in
old Indiana in the days of the old stern
wheel river boast is admirably depicted
in. this production. There is the ele
ment of home and parent love, there are
dramatic' happenings and there is a big
thrill, coming when the old steam boat
catches fire, there is the spectacle of a
whole town overwhelmed by the waters
of the river in one of the finest flood
scenes ever filmed. "On. the Banks of
the Wabash" is filled with such happen
ings as these and their combined strength
makes a screen drama of smashing
strength.
The cast appearing in "On the Banks
of the Wabash" is a notable one includ
ing such well known players as Mary
Carr, Burr Me. Intosh, James Morri
son.. Lumsden Dare, Mary Mac Laren,
Madge fc.vans. George Neville, Marcia
Harris and h.cL Roseman.
Grette Ardine who has starred tinder
the banners of Ziegfield and Dillingham
comes to head the Palace bill for the
last three days of the week. This pretty
girl, one of the best of our American
dancers, presents an original dancing
story called "The French. Model" in
which she is ably assisted by John Tyr
rell and William Finnan. Neville Flee
son and Albert Von Tilzer are the au
thors responsible little vaudeville gem.
An array of carefully chosen vaudeville
talent has been gathered for the balance
of the' seven act bill for Thursday, Fri
day and Saturday. The screen feature
for these days is "A Front Page Story."
as fine a comedy drama as the most crit
ical picture fan could wish to see.
