 IN TROUBLE WITH ITS
 WATERS, WHO STRIKE

Turin. Oct 5rThe walters at the co-operatire restaurant at the exhibi- tion here are on strike, and the anti Socialist newspapers here are serious lv aruging that the dispute proves t'he impracticability of the doctrine Of communism For the restaurant is managed by Socialist society, the Co-operative alliance.
 The immediate cause of the strike was the discharge of a waiter who went to the manager to expound the grievances of himself and his fellows. The manager called in the police who threw the walters representative out of. the place.
 Now the walters, 40 in all, are pie keting the restaurant to prevent the employment of ''blacklegs' holding meetingS and expounding on ''solidar- Hy'' and writing delightfully."- furious lefters to the newspapers protesting against the employment of force for the protection of the oapitalistic inter ests of the Socialists of the alliance, :" and against the Outroge on the right to or rganize and strike.'
 Tn the meantime the cooperative scheme is working nicely, only the al- Hance is cooperating with its custom CTS now instead of with the walters. Each customer is given a voucher which is exchanged at the kitchen for food a4.

POII'S

No one, to see the Screamingly fun ny character portrayed by Edmond Hayes at Polls this week would sus- pect that MT. Hayes is an exceeding ly capable actor in serious and heavy roles. but he is. MT. Hayes is recog- nized as one of the most artistic de- lineators of Shakesperfan roles on the stage today. He is a student of Shakespeare and has many of the roles in the most famous comedies and tragedies at his tongues end The. reason why you'd never suspect this is, that MT. Hayes has the knack of Alosing himself in his part. When he plays the tough guy'' piano nov CT, he is a tough guy and no mis- take. Going in for comedy, he for gets Shakespeare and produces ''cOm- edy'', which is the reason for the up- roarious success of his performance this weak, and the tremendous public favor with. which his act is meeting. Students of the stage will recognize the clever little touches which make his part realistic and natural, real hard guy, aside. from it's ludicrous and comic features. So immense has been the hit achieved by this week s bill, headed by Hayes and Company, that you should make sure of your seats early

His exceptional cleverness on the vaudeville stage today enables him to command a salary far beyond the dreams of police officials.
 Collins and Hunt are never failing fun makers, too Then there are Marie and Billy Hart, in '1The Circus Giri', the De Fay Sisters in their pretty and clever instrumental skit; Morris and Allen, presenting their en- tertaining.

 IS THE GLACIER TRUST

Geneva, Oct. 5-Switzerland is threatened with new form of mo- nopolistic peril-the Glacier Trust. A bunch of Swiss Guggenheims and Nor gans has grabbed a large section of the Upper Glacier near Grindewald and is slicing it up for export to Germany, France, Italy and other countries.
 The townsfolk of Grindewald are not kicking, as the new industry gives them lucrative employment But a great howl has gone up throughout the rest of the country, particularly in villages that don't have glaciers in their front yards, and the people are demanding that this carving up and sale of the beauties of Switzerland be suppressed
