NEW MINIMUM WAGE BILL TO BE GIVEN HOUSE Measure to Be Framed as Weapon to Eliminate Unfair Competition. BY KITH FINNEY Timr Stiff Writer WASHINGTON. April 17—A complete new minimum wage and short work week bill probably will be laid before the house labor committee this week, framed to emphasis elimination of unfair competition rather than mere proteection of interstate commerce. There are two reasons for the change: 1. To increase the probability of approval by the United States supreme court. 2. To hold the support of employers. who already are indicating their interest in the measure as a protection against cut-throat competition. Decisions of the supreme court over the last fifty years generally frowned on social legislation based solely on the commerce ciause of the Constitution. On the other hand, legislation aimed at elimination of unfair competition has met with almost uniform approval from the court, particularly in decisions rendered during the last year. Minor re-wording of the proposed minimum wage and short work week bill can bring it within this category. Employers Back Plan Since employers began grasping the possibilities of the bill along these lines, emphasized constantly in all administration discussion of the measure, increasing enthusiasm for it has been evident here. The most striking evidence of this was received when a gvoup of Massachusetts industrialists and workers, headed by Governor Ely, brought their ‘ Massachusetts plan’’ to lay before the President and congress. The program favored “reasonable modification of the provisions of the anti-trust laws to permit agreements among members of individual industries, subject to federal approval, in order to promote the stabilization of wages and prices for the benefit of both the employer and employe.’’ The proposal continued: “We believe the President, therefore, should seek immediate legislation to regulate the hours of work for men and women on the principle of the five-day week and the shorter working day. Prevent Worker Exploitation “We believe also that authority should be given to the President or his administrative representative to modify the basic provisions regarding hours of labor in accordance with the demonstrated needs of individual industries, provided that such changes are not in violation of the object of furthering the utmost practical reabsorption of the unemployed. “Also, to protect Workers from exploitation and to preserve price stability there should be coupled with such measures minimum wage schedules suited to each industry and based somewhat on the cost and standard of living in the various sections of the country,’’ The plan pointed out that anything done along these lines must be done on a national scale to avoid discrimination between geographical sections and industries. Wage Board Proposed The United States Chamber of Commerce special committee on working periods in industry recognized this need of protecting industralists from sweatshop competition in its recent report suggesting that employers be allowed to enter into voluntary trade agreements establishing minimum wage scales and maximum hours of labor. The Black bill, in the form in which it passed the senate, was condemned by officials of the chamber as dangerously lacking in inflexibility. Anew bill, drafted to provide for industrial boards, with power to fix different wage scales and labor schedules for different industries, might meet this objection, and cause a reversal of the chamber’s attitude when the whole subject is discussed at the annual meeting the first week of May, MURDER IS HINTED IN DEATH OF AGED MAN Trail of Blood in Home Throws Doubt on Apparent Suicide. By Vnitat Press KOKOMO, Ind., April 17_The apparent suicide of Elmer E. Hill, 71, was investigated by police todayon the theory that he might have been murdered.

Hayes Reflects Dignity and Charm in Her Acting Barthelmess Puts On a Good Show in the Air As He Fights Death and Storms in ‘Central Airport.’ BY WALTER D. HICKMAN. WHEN a movie is made a second time for the screen, interest centers not so much on the story but the treatment and the character portrayals of the cast. That is true with the second edition of F. Marion Crawford's “The White Sister” with Helen Hayes as Angela and Clark Gable as the

Italian soldier in love with Angela. The studio has given the new "White Sister” a beautiful scenic background and has made the story modem with the World w-ar as the

cause of interfering with the love affair of Angela and her soldier. I recalled that Lillian Gish in the first edition of this movie made the story very emotional and full of tears. Miss Hayes on the other hand causes Angela to have a very unemotional understanding of a girl who becomes a nun when she feels the

world break up and go to pieces when she thinks her man was killed in action. You will suffer mentally, not emotionally, with Angela as she is tempted to forget her vows. These scenes prove once more the great acting ability of this woman. Cool dignity is given the lengthy scene where Angela takes the final vow. Miss Hayes gives us the idea that, she completely understands in her own mind what she is giving up and the life she is accepting. Clark Gable is a good actor when he has the right feminine support. Miss Hayes is the cause of careful and sincere acting on the part of Clark this time. Clark is playing the role that Ronald Coleman made so dashing and so pathetic with Lillian Gish. The war scene slows up the romance, but that is necessary to record the mental changes in the two chief characters of the story. If you are looking for the legitimate method of acting on the screen you will find it present when you see Miss Hayes in "The White Sister.” Louise Closser Hale has her moments of comedy. May Robson is sincerely good as Mother Superior. Now at the Palace. tt c a BARTHELMESS has CORKING GOOD STORY Dick Barthelmess has a corking good story of aviation in “Central Airport.” It is good melodramatic theater all of the time. There is no war background to "Central Airport” as Barthelmess is

the pilot of a passenger plane. Hs cracks up in a storm and the comp an y officially places the blame on Jim (Barthelmess). This makes him an air outcast and he goes home to his parents with his arm in a sling. There he finds his younger brother, Neil (played by Tom Brown), already a corking good pilot. One day

Richard Barthelmess

Jim rides out to the fair grounds where a stunt air show is being played. And who drops out of the clouds in a parachute? Well, Sally Eilers (Jill, a parachute jumper) is the good looking gal. Jim and Jill fall in love and without benefit of clergy they go housekeeping. Jim becomes Jill’s pilot in the barn storming trips. Jill becomes frigid when Jim refuses to buy a wedding ring. Then Neil, Jim’s brother, arrives on the scene and “steals” the love of Jill. The two march to the altar and Jim is left to forget by becoming a daredevil in the air. He loses an eye, part of his foot and other parts of his body when he has crackups. As all good melodramas must have suspense, Neil is forced down with his passengers into the sea. Then through a storm Jim rescues his own brother and the passengers. Jim knows that Neil loves Jill and that Jill loves Jim better than Neil. So Jim takes to the air once more. And that’s the story of “Central Airport" nicely played by Barthelmess. Miss Eilers. regardless whether she actually makes the parachute jumps or not, and by Tom Brown. You can ticket this picture as good theater. Now at the Circle. tt an NANCY MARRIES THE RIGHT-WRONG MAN I found “Child of Manhattan” to be very light modern theater with

Jessie Ralph as the chaperon and Luis Alberni as the Mexican divorce lawyer walking away with all the acting honors. Here is another story of a poor little gal working in a dime-a-dance emporium. Enters the rich man.

played by John Boles, and he gives the little dance hall girl, played by Nancy Carroll, jewels, a great ap a r tment, fine clothes as well as a baby. He is the right sort of a man and he marries our little Nell. The child dies and the little wife gets it in her foolish head that he married her just to give the child a legal name. But

that wasn’t true. This rich man actually loved our Nell. So our Nell hot foots it to Mexico, I think that is the place, and arranges to get a divorce and marry a cowboy, played by "Buck” Jones. Just as Nancy and “Buck” are going to walk to the altar as another step in the girl’s program of sacrifice to true love, in walks the rich man. “Buck,” being a real guy, takes the air and so the misguided lovers are married again. Very, very Hollywood, don’t you think. The story is not distinguished by any great acting on the part of the principal players, but you will remember the chaperon and the lawyer. On the stage this week is the Ingenues, a girl orchestra with lot of instruments. Ed Resener is putting the orchestra through an Easter overture. Now at the Indiana. a tt a Following closely on its road show run, “Cavalcade” is now on a continuous run basis at the the Apollo theater. I have told you often about this really great picture with Diana Wynyard as the English mother and Clive Brook as the husband. It is only necessary for me to repeat that I consider “Cavalcade” as one of the two best pictures ever made. The sound is perfect. Now at the Apollo. tt u tt Ace Berry, general manager of the Indiana, feels that next Saturday and Sunday will be two of the biggest days in the history of the Indiana. He bases his opinion on the fact that Amos and Andy, air comedians, have been booked for those two days. I agree with Ace as they should break all box office records. The Ohio today is offering the Freiburg version of ‘‘The Passion Play.” The production is sincere and dignified. o tt it “The Front Page” will open a five-night engagement at the Playhouse as a Civic theater production on Tuesday. A preview was held Saturday night. TRANSFER ARMY MEN Major Alfred C. Oliver Sent to Ft. Hayes: M. W. Clark to Leavenworth.
