CONTRACTORS AND BUILDERS
In a "wild west" motion picture, made recently in the Wainwrigkt National Park in Alberta, there Is a scene where several Canadian buffaloes are killed. Under the agreement between an American motion picture corporation and the dominion government, according to an interview published in Canadian newspapers, Canada is to get "full credit for all the buffalo scenes," even though the incidents are supposed to take place in western Kansas shortly after the Civil war. It is doubtful whether the scene where dominion park buffaloes are driven to be killed in terror before the motion picture camera men will bring much credit to anyone. Nor does the film commend itself to humane public opinion in Canada. "Vigorous protests were reg
istered with the acting prime minister cf tho dominion, before the filmins took place, against allowincr the
butchering of buffaloes to be so ex- . picited for motion picture purposes, j The dominion parks branch of the ! r'rpprtment of the interior had made ! arrangements several months ago to ! have about 2.000 surplus buffaloes
i slaughtered from the Wainwrieht
I herd as they were being turned into ' " winter quarters. They were to be
shot by expert riflemen. No very strong protests were heard until the report got abroad that the killing would be worked into a motion piclure of a stampede, which would be organized, with Indians participating. The acting prime minister issued a statement, based on the assurance of '"e.partr.ier.t officials, that the newspaper reports were "sensational and absolutely incorrect." Officials assured him, he said, that the arrangements were "entirely of a humane character." As actually -described afterward by ome of the motion picture managers, twenty-four of the buffaloes were slaughtered in the process of making
a f.Im. Several thousand buffaloes were herded together by the park riders. They were driven through a -defile on the heights to make the stampede scene. While whooping Cree Indians shot dummy arrows at the sides of tire stampeding animals, I concealed riflemen did the killing in I front of the cameras. In instances j where the buffaloes were only wounded, they were tracked down, so ; that within ten minutes, it is stated, I the whole twenty-four were killed, j There must be many people in I Canada, as there are elsewhere, who i regard the filming of such a scene for j sensational motion picture purposes as far from being of a humane char- ; acter, or likely to bring credit to the ! dominion. It is rather calculated to i detract from the government's corn- ! mendable conservation policy in ! Wainwright NationaTPark. Monitor.

(Continued from Page 1) the amendments offered will
get was not Indicated. Following is the program as agreed to by the Republicans and insurgents. "First, that the rules of the sixty-seventh eongress should be adopted as the rules of the Sixtyeighth congress for thirty days only." So that's that. "Second, that during these thirty days amendments to the rules may be offered by any member, to be referred to the committee on rales, which committee shall consider such amendments and make a report thereon to the house. The End Is Reached "Third, within such thirty days
the committee shall make a report of
the rules and such amendments as
they recommend. The rules and amendments as reported by the committee shall be subject to "reasonable discussion, amendment and record votes of the house," and that's
the end ol it all. "Fourth, when the committee shall have .made its report any member of the house shall have opportunity to offer amendments to any rule of the house and may call for a record vote thereon, whether
such rule has been included in the report of the committee or not. "Fifth, one motion to recommit shall be in order. 'Only one'." After the jockeying for this position had been going on for three
days the Republicans announced to the country that such a "revision of the rules program" had been "in the pocket of the proposed chairman of the committee on rules for a week."
This brought laughter from the Democrats, who kidded the Republicans about such a report having been pocketed for days. This Re
publican, Will Wood, a "well-known
congressman" (?) from Indiana.
Kidding as usual. Coolidge on Immigration
President Coolidge made a bid for Klan support Th his first presidential message to congress which he read to the joint session of. the senate
and house on Thursday. His fine
Americanism came out in his pro
posed immigration restriction paragraph as follows:
"American institutions rest solely on good citizenship. They "were created by people who had a back
ground of self-government. New arrivals should be limited to our ca
pacity to absorb them into the ranks of good citizenship. America must Jxe kept American. For this purpose, it is necessary to continue a policy of restricted immigration. It would be well to make such immigration of a selective nature with some inspection at the source, and based either on a prior census or upon the record of naturalization. Either method, would insure the ad mission of those with the largest capacity and best intention of becoming citizens. I. am convinced that our present economic and social conditions warrant a limitation of those
to be admitted. "We shall find additional safety in
a law requiring the immediate registration of all aliens. Those who do not want to be partakers of the American spirit ought not to settle in America."
BIG MEETING BELD

'PITTSBURG PLUS' IS NOW ELIMINATED
Announcement Means Saving of $500,000 Yearly to Purchasers of Steel
(Special to Fiery Cross) NEW HAVEN, Mich., Dec. 14. A large crowd was attracted to the center'" of town here last Saturday night when a fiery cross, the well-
known symbol of tho Ku Klux Klan, burst forth into flame. The crowd gathered about the flaming symbol, but when one party came to the scene- with a camera and began preparations to "shoot" the burning cross, there was a scatter-
ment of those who were within the scope of the lens. A crowd of young boys, however, did not seem to mind having their pictures taken in tho glow of a symbol of Americanism, and hurried to a point where they
could get In the picture.
The burning of the cross was a
forerunner to Klan activities that were held on the following Monday night, when a well-known speaker
gave an address on Americanism, patriotism, and the ideals and principles of the great American order. The" meeting took place in a large hall downtown which was packed
and overflowing with citizens who were eager to hear the truth and get more light on the subject of Klan-
eraft. Klan Is "Welcomed
The crowd was very enthusiastic,
and received the message of the
speaker in a way that proved beyond all doubt that the Klan is
more man weiconi9 in tins com
munity. Many times the speaker was forced to stop talking while the
audience cheered and applauded. An added attraction on the program was a band that played at in
tervals during the ceremonies. The
musicians rendered some very pleas
ing numbers and brought a large
amount of applause from the audi ence.
iBe meeting was a success in
every way, ana vnen it came to a close the speaker was surrounded by many who had been deeply moved by his ' wonderful talk and he was
congratulated on all sides. A large number of citizens made known their desire to become affiliated with the order, and initiation ceremonies to be held in the near future are being planned.

(Special to The Fiery Cross) LORE CITY, O;, Dec. 6. Bootleggers' paradise, which has flourished in this community for several years, virtually unmolested, has received a severe jolt from true Americans who have a quaint notion that since the eighteenth amendment is a part of the constitution, it should be enforced. Flagrant violations of the prohibition laws have been going on here for several years, but so bold did the violators become that the real Americans of the community organized themselves into a vigilance body and dedicated themselves to the task of enforcing the law to the letter. It was almost impossible to bring about prosecution of the liquor sellers and
manufacturers owing to free and easy methods of officials, but now It all appears to be changed. Members of the organization have pledged
themselves to support every authorized official in enforcement of the law and to co-operate in every possible way to clean up the lawlessness. One dozen homes, mostly those of aliens, were raided one evening recently, and eight affidavits against the owners have been filed. Stills, mash and other paraphernalia were found in almost every place visited and since the raids were made simultaneously, there was no chance to spread the alarm. At one place, a
woman attempted to flee with a jug of liquor but enough of the evidence was saved Jo serve as Exhibit A in court. One alien whose home was raided worked fast in an effort to
disconnect a still before the raiders entered, but he was too slow. He
was fined $200 for possession of liquor and $300 for possessing propertyintended for the manufacture of the stuff. One of the foreigners tried
to explain to the court that all Slavishmen have a right to have a little liquor-4n their homes for pri
vate consumption." He . even "pro
duced a Slavicnewspaper, published
in Cleveland, which appeared to hear
out his contention. The court took
a hardhead ed view of the case and
assessed a fine. Members of the vigilance organi
zation declare they will not relax their efforts until every person alien
and . others, learns to ' respect . the American 4Lag and obey thaXonatl-tution-cf the United State's. , "
WASHINGTON, D. C, Dec. 11. A jewel reputed to have -been taken from a lodge at Fredericksburg, Va., during the civil war when raided by federal troops has been recovered by Fredericksburg Lodge No. 4. The jewel was sent to the lodge by J. I.
Penny, of Ingram, Pa., who wrote in part: "Years ago, while still a youth,
my recollections were of seeing this jewel in a curio case of my father's, having attached to it a small cardboard label bearing the following inscription, to the best of my memory: 'Taken from the Masonic lodge room at Frederick during a raid on that place. The jewel is from the wor
shipful master's collar and has, no doubt, been worn by George Wash
ington when acting as master of that
lodge.' There was no date, to my knowledge, and as I have never
heard of our great Washington acting as master of the lodge at Frederick I am convinced that the name on the card may have been Fredericksburg, and all the more so since you tell me that the lodge at Frederick never was raided. When I was made a Mason the memory of seeing this jewel waarevived and I deter
mined that if it ever came into my
possession i wouia restore it to tne brethren, who can not but value it highly. A few years ago my father told me it had been given him by one of the raiders upon, his return from the war. He also told me that the other jewels had all been returned. At my father's death the jewel came Into my possession minus the label I spoke of and with this limited information I gladly give it to you, prayer
fully hoping that it will find a place
worthy of it.
CHICAGO, 111., Dec. 8. Announcement was made recently by the La Salle Steel Company, which has ,a thirty-acre plant at Hammond, that it has permanently abolished ' Pittsburg plus."
The announcement means a saving of approximately $500,000 a year to purchasers of cold-drawn steel in the Chicago district. The La Salle company is the first steel producing firm in the United
states to mase - lormai announce
ment of the junking of "Pittsburg plus."
.Largest in the District The company's action precedes by
four days resumption of testimony
before the federal trade commission examiner in the action brought by
e Western Association of Rolled
Steel- consumers against the United
States Steel Corporation.
The La Salle company is the larg
est one manufacturing cold-drawn
steel in this district. It has an an- ! nual output of 75,000 tons. Elimination of Pittsburg plus means a saving of $6.80 a ton in freight. . Steel sold recently for $3 a hundredweight and $60 a ten in Pittsburg. "Will Help Business Hero But Chicago buyers, purchasing steel from any of the local mills, paid $3.34 a hundred, or .$66.80 a ton the difference being the freight rate from Pittsburg to Chicago. But steel manufactured by the La Salle company hereafter -will sell at the same rate as that manufactured in Pittsburg, without the freight charges from there. It means Chicago manufacturers or automotive products can get into the Detroit market, the largest in the United States for automotive products, with an advantage of 40 cents a ton over Pittsburg manufacturers. '
Advantage Readied $G.S0 Formerly Pittsburg manufacturers
had an advantage of $6.80 a ton over
those in the Chicago district.
While no formal announcements of the abolishment of Pittsburg plus have been made by ether producers of the cold-drawn steel in the Chicago district, such steps are expected in the near future. W. S. Leeds, president of the La Salle Steel Company, in announcing the end of the Pittsburg plus plan so far as his company is concerned, said: "We have permanently eliminated Pittsburg plus."
