This committee will htve the assistance of the 11 regular labor representatives at the State House in Interviewing the Senators and obtaining a direct yes or no the question cf whether they will support Senate Bill 188. Thrf Refter bill, which provides for increasing the compensation for injured workmen from $18 to $20 a week, passed by the House, will go to the Senate this week. While the labor representatives will place organized labor on record as favoring enactment of any legislation which will better the condition of working men, they will impress son all members of the General Court the fact that the chief aim of organized labor is to have the State fund insurance law enacted. John Van Vaerenwyck, president of the State Branch, A. F.

of in opening yesterdays conference, said that the establishment of a State fund would mean a saving of more than $4,000,000 to the employers of this State who carry compensation insurance. Martin T. Joyce, secretary-legislative agent of the State Branch, A. F. of reported on measures before the General Court and stated that the most Important, after the compensation insurance, are the Individual Contract bill, Sue and Be Sued bill, and the Anti-Injunction bill.

The question of public control of the Boston Elevated was not acted on by the-meeting, owing to the fact that a special committee appointed at the last convention of the State Branch at Fall River was given full power to represent organized labor on this matter. averaging 15c on the dollar of former prices think of it 2 for 25c i A (some previous seasons styles) (all first quality collars that usually retail for much more hats for 29c So fragrant it leaves 15 desirable styles plenty of quarter sizes Even quarter or half sizes in lot.

The Storm-Bound Craft Leave womens or misses5 Shelter of Harbor Quality Without Extravagance LOCAL LABOR NOTES A particularly Interesting and happy combination of the Vitaphone talking movie and a straight picture i being shown at the Modern and Beacon Theatres.

The Jazz Singer with Al Jolson making his debut in the film is the current attraction at the- twin theatres, and already the photoplay has caused considerable comment. Although there Is a Vitaphone musical accompaniment throughout the film, there are only intervals in which the actors sing or talk. There are aboyt a half dozen spoken titles, and the remainder are flashed on the screen as is customarily done. Then there are the songs by Jolwan, both in white face and blpck face. These song3 add about 100 percent to the entertainment value of the picture.

After all. there Is no one who can put over a Mammy song like Al Jolson, and his personality is just as vivid, Just as dominant in Vitaphone as it is on the stage. Cantor Josef Rosenblatt also sings for the picture. dresses Delayed by Saturdays storm, the United Fruit steamer San Bruno, Capt Barr, was unable to arrive In port yesterday with a full cargo of bananas from Tela, Spanish Honduras.

Pi'ive drfZH with vestee IBS To Help Celebrate This Inspiring and Patriotic Holiday One of the most thoroughly entertaining pictures of the year is The Patent Leather Kid, ft film that is being shown at five theatres this week. This photoplay, which is playing the Fenway, the Washington Street Olympia, the Scollay Square Olympia Theatre, the Capitol Theatre. Allston, and the Central Square Theatre. Cambridge, has about all the qualifications that go towards making up a good film.

There is an excellent plot with plenty of suspense; fine acting on the part of Richard Barthelmess and Molly ODay and human appeal from the opening scenes. The fight scenes with which the picture commences are extremely realistic and mupt have been made, in part at least, at an actual arena with a typical crowd assembled for a fistic battle. Certainly one sees every type of mankind at the fight scenes, and fight fans can pick out their own type just by looking over the ringside patrons. So exciting is the fight between Dick, the Patent Leather Kid, and his opponent that the film patrons applaud as if at a real fight. And despite the fact that the Kid is supposed to be a conceited roughneck w-ith few redeeming points except a love for knocking out other fighters, he gets the sympathy of the audience from the beginning.

There are long sighs when he himself gets knocked but while listening to the strains of The Star Spangled Ban-, ner. Because of this unexpected knockout at the hands of an inferior fighter, the Patent Leather Kid is death on patriotism from then on. He refuses to doff his hat when the flag goes by and laughs at the soldiers in uniform who are going to war. And then he is drafted. But he doesnt dash into battle prepared to beat the whole German army.

On the contrary; he is frightened and shaking. He goes over the top only because he cant stay behind. The death of his pal puts courage Into his weakling heart. And he, personally, throws the bomb that destroys a German machine gun nest that has been responsible for, the carnage that has decimated his regiment. There Is a wonderful ending with Molly ODay doing some excellent acting as the little nurse who fights for her lovers life.

It is sure-fire stuff from the beginning to the end, and Is the best picture Barthelmess has made in years With a general cargo, some of It for New York consignees, the British freighter Meltonian, Capt Calvert, was another freighter to make port here yesterday.

The picture is taken from the stage play in which George Jessel starred here in Boston, but the ending has been changed, so that now there is a happy compromise. It is this compromise which, allows Jolson to end the picture by singing Mammy' in black face to his little Yiddish mother, who watches her son make his stage triumph a year after he has left the stage on the night of his great opening to make his fathers last moments happy.

Jolson once was involved In a lawsuit. He declared that he wasnt a good film actor and that is why he left his first picture after a few scenes were made. The director declared he was very good. If The Jazz Singer had been released before the lawsuit was concluded there Is no doubt but what Jolson would have lost his case, ike screens about as well as he sings. He is well cast for the role of Jakie Rabinowitz.

later known as Jack Robin of Broadway. Jolson knows the life of the stage, its traditions and its sorrows. He is absolutely delightful in the scene with his mother, a role played admirably by Eugenie Besserer. It is in this scene that the two have two or three spoken titles. Jakie has come home to his mother, bringing gifts.

He had run away from home at the age of 13 and now is a moderately successful vaudeville singer. The scene in which Jakie kids his mother and declares she Is about the finest, sweetest, prettiest mother in the whole world, is the most human touch in the whole picture; Cream and Milk Choc-date.
