JOHN DREW


 The admirers of polished John Drew will be out in force this evening at Polls, when he appears in his great success of this season, ''The Mummy and the Running Bird. This is the play, as already announced, in which MT Drew had the most successful run of his career during three months at the Empire theater. New York. The character of Lord Lumley, known as ''the mummy" on account of his pro- pensities for delving into chemical re- search, is particularly well portrayed by MT Drew. The man is so absorbed in his experiments that, for time, he neglects his young wife. who, bereft of the love that should be hers, takes up with villain. D'Orelli, an Italian poet, dubbed "the humming bird.' Lumley suddenly awakens to the con- dition of affairs and realizes his con- jugal lethargy; when his wife plans to elope with the libertine. he forgives her. and when she. for very shame fees to Paris, he again follows her, saves her a second time, and admits his own neglect of her. A happy re- union follows; "the humming bird" is left to the mercy of an Italian organ grinder, who discovers in him the despoiler of his own home in Sicily It will be seen that there are many op- portunities for counter plots, and that the opportunities are varied for the dis nlay of the different range of passlons. Tn the carrying out of the plot MT Drew has the assistance of a capable com pany. numbering. for instance, among others, Guy Standing, Lionel Barry more. Margaret Dale and Marie Der rickson.

Of Many Thousand New Eng
Ianders.

Boston, Dec. THE wages OF lS.o0o cot
ton mill operatives were reduced about
10 per cent today in New Bedford. Fitch
burg, Baltic. Conn. Tafftvflle. Conn.
Fishervine. Mass, and Pawtucket r. l.,
bringing the total number OF mill hands
who have had their pay lowered during
the present cotton crisis to $4,000. Five
thousand additional operatives in Berk-
shire county have been given notice that
their pay will be cut next week. Most
OF the mills. which have participated In
the cut TO date follow the course or the
Fall River schedule.
The cut down In New Bedford Affects

ska. Wamsutta, Wnitsn and Bristol cloth
mills. and the City Manufacturing com
pany. yarn. all or which employ total
OF nearly 1900 hands when running at
their full capacity. The last reduction
In New Bedford cloth mills was attended
by prolonged general strike and the
closing OF all the cloth mills, but this
time no serious trouble was apprehended
The New Bedford mills are also engaged
in the manufacture OF fine goods. They
have been more or less affected by the
ynfavorable condition OF the markets and
the operatives decided not to offer open
resistance to the cut.
reduction was also made today at the
Ponemah mills of Tafftvilie. This plant,
which is controlled by Rhode Island capi-
tai employs about 200 hands. The Bal
tic mill has 400 hands and the ttsherville
concern about the same number.
The Slater mills OF Pawtucket. ". l.,
also reduced the wages OF its 500 hands
today. thus completing the general cut
In the state.
In Fltchburg a reduction was made to-
day at the orswell. Nockege and Grant
mills all yarn producers. employing about
100 operatives Some OF the Fitchburg
mills are seriously handicapped by the
great cost OF cotton. The cutdown there
is due 10 the cotton crisis. as is the clos
I ing OF the Fitchburg duck mills. No re-
duction has been made by the Psrkhill
Manufacturing company OF that city.
STRIKE AT VALLEY FALLS.
The first trouble OF any kind in the
since the cut In wages went into effect
ron pany's min at Valley Falls. when four
mule spinners. two doffers and two back
Sovs struck work.
The former craftsmen. who are unor-
ganized have appealed 20 the Rhode ISL
and Mule Spnners for assistance. The
strike is based on the claim that whereas
they received Sl2 week as against si1.52
received by organized mule apinners he,
fore the decrease, they now received hut
5000 against Sl5.7 for tho union men.
They also claim that reductions were
made in their wages before notices were
posted.
At the slater compauy's mill. where re-
duction went into effect today, everything
was proceeding Ia AN orderly manner, and
no trouble is anticipated.
