Said That Latter Demandd] Better | Conditions and Had to Quite { Shipworkers Want Their Rein- | statement, With Union standards | Adoyp The ted. shipyard employees who walked out on Thursday afternoun b trom the' Collingwood Shipbuilding Company's drydock did not return to work on Friday morning. | The walkout appears to have been done because of sympathy with some of the Montreal Tr ition Company's employees. | weeks ago the steamer Avon' {taken to the M.T. iCo. here for re- pairs. The overhauling was parti- fally completed when the men at « work asked for the same conditions | that prevailed in the yards of the Collingwood Shipbuilding Co. Their | demands 'were refused, and it is | understood that a mumber were or- dered to quit work, The boat was then taken to the shipbuilding company's drydock for the completion of the repairs, and it has been there practically all sum- mer, as there is a great amount of work to be done on it. 'When the { employees of the shipyard, who, are members of the Iron Workers, Ship- builders and Helpers' Union, heard of the demands of their brethren in the transportation plant they back- ed them up and demanded their re- instatement. A meeting was held on Wednesday night of ge union members, and they decided to go out in 'sympathy antil the M.T. Co. had acceded to their demands. Ef- forts were made to get in touch with H. M. McMaster, marine superin- tendant, who was out of the city, but without avail. Accordingly, about thirty of the union men walk- ed out on Thursday afternoon and are now awaiting the reinstatement of their brothers at the transporta- tion company's plant. It is understood that the ship- | yard men are also standing by the {M.T. Co. workers for an eight-hour | day, and that the matter will | be further discussed at a union meeting. | | | Atthe Theatres_| At The Grand. Bessie Love came back again to the Grand last evening in a truly wonder-| ful play, "A Little Sister of Every- body," and this winsome, adorable glad girl made the hit of her career with this Pathe feature. In this pie- ture the charming little star had the! role of an orphan, who was brought up 'by her grandfather and they lived | in the foreign section of a great Am-| erican eity. Life was happy until the! war broke out and then came the rumblings of anarchists in the air. | Just at this time there entered into the scene a hreezy young youth who | was in love with the girl and between! the two of them they managed to' capture the enemies of their country and bring happiness once more to| their home, Other reels on the bill! besides this fascinating feature, were the Pathe News, a Lonesome Luke] comedy, an O. Henry story and a; good scenic. 'Dick and Alice McAvoy, with their novelty singing, talking and dancing act, made an immense hit. This programme will be repeat- ed for the last time this evening, so! don't miss it, "A Daughter Of The Sun." "A Daughter of the Sun," the story of an Hawaiian Butterfly, will be the attraction at the Grand on| Saturday, the 14th, both matinee and night. The story turns on the love of Dr. Edward Grant, an American, for an Hawaiian girl, "Loa," known as "The Daughter of the Sun." She is the sweetheart of "Kama," a de-! scendant of Kalakouo. The plot is! fostered and nourished by a Japanese | of high birth, posing as a scientist, | who plans to aid a rebellion and then take the islands in the name of Ja- pan. 'Meantime X-17 secret service has been sent down to get evidence. The Jap persuades "Kama to give the young American doctor a cultur | of leprosy as a flavor for his tea, but "Kama' loses his nerve. Neverthe- less, he retains the black bottle in his possession, and when the arch villian requests it, "Kama" yields and Dr. Grant is inoculated. He is sent to Molokai, a deadly quarantine, but he escapes. The physician comes back bravely to face the villian and then it is that X-17, who is a young woman I!

Douglas Fairbanks, he of the genial smile and athletic prowess, at- tracted a large audience to this thea- tre last evening to witness his very latest production, "Bound in Moroc- co," and that they "were immensely pleased by this photoplay was evi- denced by the hearty outbursts of ap- plause which greeted the unfolding of the picture at frequent intervals. No need to enumerate on the virtues of "Doug" as an actor, as ha is too well known, suffice to say that "Bound in Moroded" is a typical Fair- bank picture, and that stands for all the requirements of a first class pro- duction. Anothet"pleasing feature of our programme is" 'Gail Kano, in "Souls in Pawn,'""a delightfully ap- pealing drama in which this charm- ing star plays a 'most suitable role in a manner beyond criticism. These two features, and the eighteenth ep- isode of 'The Eagle's Eye" go to make up a bill that compares favor- ably with any to bé seen anywhere at popular prices. At The Strand, The giant redwoods that form the background of the production, "The Hali-Breed," starring Douglas Fair- banks and Alma Rubens, offered a striking opportunity to the public for the study of natural history, The world offers no spectacle grander or more awe-inspiring than the redwood trees of Calaveras county, California. These trees are peculiar to Califernia and are the property of the United States Government, to be kept intact and inviolate from the woodman's axe. Attaining a height very often of three hundred and fifty feet, these trees are said by seientists to be as old as five thousand years. A butt diameter of fifteen to twenty feet is common, and their clean, straight fluted trunks often rise two hundred feet below the lowest trunks. It is in the midst of this grandest of na- ture's cathedrals that Douglas Fair- banks, as Low, the Half-Breed of Bret Harte's wonderful tale, lives in solitude, and sadness, the victim of the whiteman's intolerance. Pathos and laughter, love, jealousy and hate figure in this terrific story of social injustice which holds the audience in breathless suspense to the very end. "The Half-Breed" will be shown at the Strand Theatre to-day and Sat- urday, also a high-class comedy fea- turing Mr. and Mrs, Sidny Drew, and topical reels. 7 DAILY MEMORANDUM See top of Jase 3, right hand corner, for probabilities. i" "1A Daughter of the Sun" Grand 2.30 Saturday.
