NOW PLAYING
From the Story by FANNY HURST
Who Wrote "Humoresque"
You have often heard of the picture "as good as
Humoresque" some enthusiasts have claimed even
better but you have never seen any such pictures
and probably never will. Fannie Hurst wrote both
"Humoresque" and "Just Around the Corner." Fan
nie did not outdo Fannie, but she has given "Humor
esque" a close call. At the previewing we remarked
"Just Around the Corner" one of the best pictures
we have seen in two years. There are no famous stars,
no big sets, no million dollars spent but it is a picture
all the way and of the type that has always appealed,
to our patrons.

SUNDAY PAULINE FREDERICK IN "THE GLORY OF CLEMENTINA
CHICAGO, Aug. 9. Six companies
of Illinois guardsmen entrained this
morning for Jollet to go on strike duty, i
Officers here did not know whether
tho men already on duty there were to
be relieved or whether the additional
troops were being sent because of the
wnlkout of big four brotherhood mem
bers last night.
The walkout of the big four brother
hoods at Jollet is exclusively a local
action ordered by Chairman Charles
O'Day of the Jollet division of the
unions.
At a nine o'clock meeting last night
he was Instructed by the men to notify
the railroad executives of the Impend
ing strike, unless the troops were re
moved. It has not been learned whe
ther the national officers have approv-
etl of the local strike. Lieutenant
Colonel Nelson Morris, in command of
the troops, was notified of the action
but told the men that he was without
power to make any change in the pres
ent situation, as he was under orders
of state officials.

NEW YORK Anir 9 Tmi,l..ll,
thousand railroad shil 11 rrntlaniAn tn-
day sent a telegram to n M .imvoii
Chicago, putting themselves on record
as reiusing to accept President Hard
ing's proposal for submitting the seni
ority question to the railroad labor
board. .
It. It. Ixadera Ilurd. Boiled.
The telegram read:
"In behalf of 25,000 Milking rail
way shopmen lu the New York dis
trict we endorse your stand in re
fusing to accept the compromise
proposition of President Harding.
Located in a district exposed to the
poison gas attack as represented by
the lying propaganda of the railway
executives, our members have stood
"the attack without faltering and the
morale of the striera is perfect.
"-Many of the strikers are ex-sar-vice
men who fought under the Stars
und Stripes for democracy In the late
war. These men have witnessed .our
so-calledv American railway execu
tives hire cheap Chinese and (Hindu
labor to try and break the strike and
under no circumMancos will these
former soldiers agree to allow this
conglomeration of unskilled foreign
workmen to be considered as favored
employes of the railroads in order to
gratify the .autocratic desires, of the
American railway kaisers for -a con
dition of Industrial -slavery, for! rail
way employes. "
"Let us nssure you again we want
no compromise and urge that the
fight bo fought to a finish right now
on its merits and tho present admin
istration In control of our govern
ment be forced to show whether it
stands for real Americanism or the
brand of Americanism represented by
a few hard boiled railroad officials
who would wreck-our entire country
in their hiRt for power."
Distrusts Labor Hoard.
The purpose of the telegram. It was
said, was to set up tho attitude of
the strikers In the metropolitan dis
trict townrd both tho railroad labor
board and the administration.
"We do not propose to be bound by
any understanding which provides
that we hall be put at tile mercy of
the labor board in the disposition of
seniority rights."
The distrust of the labor board at
this time, it was said, was due to
the federal body's action of July 3
and again July 8 "when it-practically
outlawed the six affiliated shop
crafts unions which were participat
ing in the strike."
Orders Men to Quit .
CLEVELAND, Aug. 9. Chief execu
tives of the "big four" transportation
brotherhoods have taken action re
garding the endangering of lives of
brotherhood members through the al
leged action of armed guards in con
nection with the shopmen's strike, and
have telegraphed their members to re
main away from company property if
their lives are endangered.
Warren G. Stone, president of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
when told that 1300 brotherhood men
had quit at Jollet last night told the
Assdciated Press representative that
there would be 100 more similar cases
soon If working conditions ut railroad
yards anil shoos are not changed.
"The men have got to the limit of
endurance through abusive treatment
from guards, and conditions have
reached the breaking point," Mr. Stone
said. "There will be 100 more similar
cases soon it conditions are not .
changed."
Asked if the action of the Jollet men
met with the approval of the brother
hood beads, .Mr. Stone said:
"The action does not require any ap.
proval.
' Our men are not expected to work
under such conditions as now prevail
at many railroad terminals," Mr. Stone
said. "I am telling them that where
ever their lives are endangered by
guards they should go home and stay
there. They are justified In remaining
away from railroad company property
under existing conditions."
