STRIKES, LABOR TROUBLES FACE COTTON STATES Union Leaders Blame Low Wages for General Unrest. B Tin*'* hotel'll ELIZABETHTON, Tenn , April 11. —The industrial south is undergoing the first serious growing pains of its magic development. Starting at this mountain city in east Tennessee strikes and labor (roubles have spread into North Carolina and South Carolina and have agitated workers all through the industrial sections. While southern business men have blamed the strikes and disturbances on labor organizers, William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, says they have been due to poor wages and the workers themselves. Edward F. M'.Grady, legislative representative of federation, agrees with Green, as does Alfred Hoffman of the United Textile Workers Union, McGrady and Hoffman were kidnaped here, taken out of the state and warned not to return on penalty of death. Green Answers “Insult - ’ McGrady says the strike which occurred here a few weeks ago was (he beginning of the industrial unrest in the southeastern states. He said the workers at the American Flanstoff and American Bemberg plants struck for higher wages and finally obtained them. Textile workers in other southeastern plants learned what had happened in Elizabethton and walked out and demanded better pay, according to McGrady. Green came here last Sunday, but did so because McGrady and Hoffman had been kidnaped, and because he believed that organized labor had been “insulted - ’ and the “insult” had to be answered. • Green’s answer was to demand the prosecution of the kidnapers and to pledge the aid of the federation to the textile workers and their union. Plants German Owned While largely due to (he same causes the strike situai ion in Ten- j ncssce is quite different from that | in the Carolinas. Tennessee has more favorable labor laws for the workers and labor is better organized. The Rayon and Bemberg silk plants here are financed by German and were set up for the purpose of avoiding the tariff on their products. The Bemberg plant is the only one in this country manufacturing the artificial silk product which is so difficult to distinguish from the real silk. FEWER CONGRESSMEN IMBIBE. SAYS JONES Prohibition Ha*' Had Effect, Dry Law Author Declares. By r;it i (I Press NEWARK. N. J., April 11.—Fewer congressmen are drinking today I than they did before the prohibition' law was enacted. Senator Wesley Jones, author of the Jones act. said I in an address Wednesday night be- i fore a regional convention of the ! Ami-Saloon League. "I have seen far fewer senators and representatives under tire in- j fluence of liquor during the last ten j years than I did during the pre- j ceding ten years,” Jones said. ‘"They | will become fewer as the years go ; by.” Jones concluded his speech with an explanation of the law which | bears his name and appealed to 1 “American sportsmansiiip” to accept j the decision of the majority.

Climbing First. ZiegteTcT picked her for his Follies.'’ Next, she was chosen for "Rio Rita" and now Warner Brothers will present her in the movies. Dainty Agnes Franey is climbing; helped by clever dancing and seldom equaled beauty. Miss Franey says: "I don't believe in overlooking anything which helps add to your attractiveness. I am most particular about my hair and so many friends compliment me on its softness and lustre that I am sure my method of caring for it is right. Nearly all the girls I know here in New York are using it, now. It is so easy. All we do is put a little Danderine on our brushes each time we dress our hair. It makes my hair easy to dress and holds it in place wonderfully. It has gotten rid of my dandruff. It keeps my hair and scalp so comfortable, that I don't shampoo half as often as I did before. And best of all. it gives my hair a softer, more silky and lustrous appearance than anything I’ve ever found.’’ Danderine quickly removes that oily film from your hair: brings out Its natural color, makes it fairly sparkle! Dandruff usually disappears when you use Danderine Waves ’‘sec” with it, stay in longer. It’s delicately fragranced: isn't oily: doesn't show. It's economical. The 35c bottles will last several weeks All drug stores recommend and guarantee it—Advertisement.

It Soon Will Be Moving Day for Sinclair

Dime Romance Suing Pastor Says He Met *Ma’ Kennedy While Attending Movie Show.

1! i/ ( nih il Prrss 6 SEATTLE, Wash.. April 11.—A romance that started in a 15cent motion picture house led to the $50,000 breach of promise suit filed against Mrs. Minnie <Ma) Kennedy, the Rev. H. H. Clai-k, plaintiff, asserted today. The ■ broken-hearted - ’ ministerplaintiff said Mrs. Kennedy was responsible for the unconventional meeting. “I was seated in a dark corner of the theater when Mrs. Kennedy came in and took a seat by me,” Mr. Clark said. “She began to lean over against me almost immediately and kept on doing it even after I had moved as far away as I could without actually leaving. Soon, she spoke to me and when I went out she followed and persuaded me to have dinner with her.” The meeting led to a series of “love trysts” in Seattle hotels, he continued. In the trysts, the mother of Aimee Semple McPher assertcdly “trapped the plaintiff into a compromising situation by promises of marriage,” Mr. Clark charged. Mr. Clark said Mrs. Kennedy was known to him as “Mrs. Mary C. Klark” and that Mrs. Kennedy used that name in all their meetings. ass a \ CHECK of hotels showed that Mrs. Kennedy or “Mrs. Klark ’ registered on four differenrit occasions in December and January as charged in Mr. Clark's suit. Records showed that "Mrs. Klark” registered at the Waldorf on Dec. 19 and again on Dec. 27, the date that the minister complained he was “trapped. - ’ Mr. Clark asserted he and "Mrs. Klark -- occupied the same room in the Eergonian hotel on the night of Jan. 6 and adjoining rooms in the same hotel on April 22. The register, however, showed that Mrs. Kennedy was registered under her own name on those dates while Clark contended she registered as “Mrs. Klark” on both occasions. A room clerk recalled that the couple was registered and that they checked out Jan. 27, but he said he could not remember them by name. While the minister continued his recital. Mrs. Kennedy was issuing denials of his story and accusing him of blackmail. BIBLE INVESTIGATION CLUB HEARS HINDU Standards of Living >n India Raised, Says Speaker. “Christianity's touch has raised the standards of living in India and the philosophy of Jesus Christ is changing the believers in Buddha.” This declaration was made by Appadursi Aaron, general secretary of the Y. M. C. A. at Madras, India, Wednesday night at a dinner of the Bible Investigation Club in the Y. M. C. A. auditorium. “India has had a philosophy of hopelessness, but all this is changing with the decades.” The club will observe its annual ladies night next Wednesday.

TEXAS TELLS WHAT ;SUCKER’. MEANS Famous Night Club Hostess Gives the Lowdown on Cabaret Life in "Queen of the Night Clubs.” BEING a ‘sucker’ is the greatest luxury in the world if you can afford it,” claims Texas Guinan, noted night club hostess and star in the talking movie, “Queen of the Night Clubs,” which opens Saturday at the Apollo. “Honest, a sucker has more fun than anybody else,” Texas says. “And w’hen I say sucker, believe me, I'm not calling anybody mean names. “When I stick out my hand and hail a fellow with ‘Hello Sucker,’ it’s just the same as if I was saying, ‘Hello, Pal.’ “Now that we’ve got that straightened out, let me tell you a few things about New York.

“Let's talk about the regular man who becomes a success in his home town. He makes money and a position. But he gets so tied in by what’s expected of him that he’s got to stifle everything that’s inside of him. He can’t have any more fun in his home town than a co-ed when her parents are home. “But when he gets to New York!!! Ah, then he can let go and be himself. I've had the Prince of Wales and Governor of Rome and all sorts of poo-bahs in my night club. When they came in they checked their dignity at the door. Everybody wants to play and have fun. “When they go out for a good time, they go out for a good time. They may drop dead when they get the check, but while they're having their fun they don’t worry about money. "There's one well-known man who comes to my place. His greatest pleasure is to walk up to the cash register, ring up $2,000 and say to me: “ ’Say, Tex, let me know when that’s used up and I'll ring up another!’ I see to it that it's used up. “But in his own home town he’d probably squawk like blazes if he had to pay a $5 cover charge. I know, —why, I was asked to open a night club in Chicago or.ee. I looked the place over one night and saw people there who come to my place and spend hundreds. “Fine,” I said to the owner, “First thing, we’ll put on a $5 cover charge.” “My stars,’’ he said, “you can t do that. They won't pay it!” “And that with men sitting

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

around who have spent as much as SI,OOO a night in my New York place! They wouldn’t do it in Chicago—their home town—but in New York, it’s nothing. “At home men act like an ostrich hiding its head in the sand. They don’t dare have a good time; afraid somebody’ll see them. All they need is somebody to break down the barriers for them. “I know men who are models of dignity in their home towns—and when they come to my night club they're out on the floor playing leap frog with the chorus girls!” “I began life on a Texas ranch—and have known life from just about every angle, Wild West shows, doing the Annie Oakley stuntmusical comedies, night clubs, ambulance driving overseas and taking it all in all I agree with my friend George M., life's a funny proposition after all.”

Indianapolis theaters today offer: “The Great Necker” at English’s, vaudeville at the Lyric, Charlie Davis at the Indiana, “Ginger Girls” at the Mutual. “Strong Boy” at the Apollo, “The Broadway Melody” at the Palace. “The Wild Party” at the Ohio, and “His Captive Woman” at the Circle.

SINCLAIR WILL JOIN ‘4oo’ IN JAIL ‘SOCIETY’ 1 1 ■ Wealth to Win No Special Favors, Prison Attaches Assert. BY ARTHUR F. DEGREVE United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON. April 11.—Harry I F. Sinclair, oil baron, will be one of the “400” when he comes to the nation’s capital soon on an enforced ninety- day visit. There are 493 persons in the Washington jail now. Some have had experiences with millionaire cell-mates before and are inclined to remember the incidents with feeling. One Pennsylvania millionaire accepted a more comfortable cot from a prisoner and when he left didn’t j purchase his benefactor a cigar or say thanks. “We’ll treat him nicely but won’t look up to him with a hope of getting something soft,” one prisoner ; said. “He’ll be just one of the boys and be treated that way.” Jail attaches already have sign!- I fled their intention of showing Sin- j clair no especial consideration because of his wealth. The oil baron will escape at least i one court when he arrives in Wash- 1 ington—the “kangaroo” court. There isn’t any at the district jail. No “kangaroo” session, where the j prisoner is “fined” the sum allotted ! him for tobacco and other delicacies by the prisoner’s court, have been held in years. While it was admitted Sinclair would be lucrative prey, attaches said the “court” would not be formed. Accustomed to luxurious front apartments and suites, the oil multimillionaire probably will have to be satisfied with third floor rear quarters for three months. He probably will be given a cot j in the dormitory, it was learned. WOMAN HURT IN CRASH New Auto Hurdles Curb, Plunges Down River Embankment. Ed Kauffman's new car is i thoroughly “broken in” today. He i bought the automobile Wednesday and took his wife for a ride in the j evening. It got out of control at Harding I street and White river, hurdled a j curb und plunged down an embank- ; ment to the river edge. Mrs. Kauff- j man was cut on the head, but her | husband was uninjured. Both were taken to their home, 1416 South I Harding street. YOUTH HELD AS THIEF Founta intown Boy Charged With Taking Watch. A short search by Motor Policemen Frank Finney and Ray Walkstetter resulted in the arrest this morning of John Kincaid, 18, of Fountaintown, Ind., who is alleged j to have stolen an inexpensive watch from Ben Maierson, 906 South Me- f ridian street. Kincaid came into the meat mar- j ket on South Meridian street, and ; when he left Maierson saw the j watch in the boy’s pocket. He called j police who found Kincaid a few blocks away. 3 HURT IN BUS CRASH Two children and a woman were slightly injured Wednesday afternoon in an automobile-bus crash on National road near Franklin road. They are Mrs. Lena Meissen, rural route 10, box 419 W, who was driving the automobile, and her children, I Warren, 3, and Frederick 4. The bus I was driven by F. C. Brown of Cincinnati, O.
