"TR|LBY" IS REVIVED
WITH OLD THRILLS
Finished Production of Potter
Du Maurier Play Is Given in
New York.

NEW YORK. April 6.-Out Of the
nists that inevitably gather between
events occurring twenty years apart
there still must have come to those who
witnessed the revival Of '"Trilby' In
the Shubert Theater on Saturday night
and who had seen the original perform
ance in the Garden Theater on April Is.
1895. not little of the old thrill that
atterded the first appearance OF the
Potter-Du Maurier play in this city. .
Some of the circumstances repeated
themselves In that three favorite
actors were seen again in the parts
they created two decades ago. one pop
ular end distinguished actress of long
service on the local stage added the
grace and charm of her presence to
the performance and there was a
as to help recall wildly the atmosphere
same cracking thrill Of expectation and
qualification in the air; Only one thing
craze" that held New York under such
a spell as had only been equaled once
before in the case Of the fascinations
of The Mikado."
AS play "Trilby" never amounted to
much. being. a. purely theatrical ar
rier's novel that lent themselves most
to the melodramatic cast Paul Potter
gave to 1t. The enormous success OF
the piece in the Garden Theater and
later throughout the country was a
reflex OF sentimental literary hysteria.
to which was added the capital cast
provided for the piece by A. NJ. Palmer.
After sitting through it's four acts
once more the play seems naively old
fashioned and extremely tenuous In its
fabric. Yet 1t has some excellent act
ing parts. whose opportunities were
not let slip from them by Wilton
Lackaye, Leo Ditrichsteiu. Taylor
Holmes. Cecil King. Rose Coghlan, and
Phyllis Neilson-Terry.
Here Is the cast:

MOVE TO ESTABLISH
! CONSTABULARY BILLS
STOPPED BY LABOR
Working Glass Press a Great Fac
tor in Eastern Fight.

Once more the power of organized
labor and working-class press has
been demonstrated. In several states
of the Union an effort has been made
during the winter to introduce the
state constabulary strike-breaking
force, duplicating the Cossacks Of
Pennsylvania. In New York strong
fight was waged at Albany to have
the constabulary bill 60 through, and
a similar effort was made in New
Jersey. Both efforts failed.
Eternal vigilance on the part Of
the working class, led by press that
exposed every feature Of the plot to
send mounted soldiers charging into
the field of labor, has done this thing.
From Albany comes the announce
ment that the republican leaders have
decided to abandon the constabulary
bill. 1t will not become law. 1t is
dead
From the governor Of New Jersey
comes the announcement that he will
not permit constabulary. That ends
the Cossacks there. And by way of
good measure the governor of New
Jersey lets it be known that there
will be no repeal of the full crew
law, il his veto will stop it. The at
titude expressed by the assemblymen
indicates that the governor will get
no chance to use his veto. They don't
dare pass these two anti-labor bills.
Labor has done this thing-not I'M
organized labor, but ORGANIC ED
LABOR! Labor, In the unions and
In it's political party. has fought with
organization to stop the Cossacks-
and the Cossacks have been stopped!
1t Is a great victory!
Much credit Is due the Labor press
in general, and the New York Daily
Call in particular. for the strong fight
made to expose the inner meaning OF
the proposed state constabulary
forces in tho states mentioned.

EVERETT LABOR STRUGGLE
PART OF THE WORLD
WIDE CLASS STRUGGLE

From all parts of the world today
comes news Of strikes and lockouts.
The capitalist system is rapidly break
ing down, and the employing class is
determined that the burden Of bolster
ing up trade and commerce shall be
borne by Labor. II business Is dull,
or at standstill, then it is, they
argue, not because of any inherent de-
feet of the capitalist system, but be-
cause of 1.-The exorbitant demands OF
labor" high wages, eight-hour work
day,-in a word, the worldwide indus
trial breakdown is due, so they say,
to the war AND to the unions!
So the employers are determined to
break up the unions, reduce wages,
and lengthen the work-day. The fact
that this remedy" would only make
bad matters worse Is unknown to
them-most Of them. Some see the
light, Of course. The majority do not.
To the latter there Is nothing to ar
bitrate. For them there is nothing to
do now but teach the workers les
son." So it's war! May the strong
est, the fittest win!
In this connection, we wish to call
attention to a contribution in this
issue by Eugene v. Debs. Nothing to
Arbitrate." The veteran champion OF
the cause of Labor brings home a
much needed lesson to us in his short
but strong article. 1t is the lesson
that the workers must organize on
class basis, on the terms laid down
BY tho masters themselves. Every
strike that brings home to 70 this
great lesson, 10 a strike won!

CALIFORNIA NOW IN
LINE FOR CoNSTABULARY
Officers Of State Militia Hold
Conference on Question.

In the United States today there
are two opposite tendencies observ-
able.
On the one hand we see q growing
dislike Of wage earners to serve in
the state militia, and growing repug-
nance of those already organized in
the states soldiery against service in
strike zones. "Strike.breaker" and
"militiaman" have become almost
synonymous, in the eyes of the
masses.
On the other hand, the demand of
the employing class for an organized
body of extra police, under pay of the
state. to be used in the service of
capital, to defend property rights as
against human rights, has become
ever more insistent as the class-strug-
gle becomes daily more sharply de-
fined, and also more determined on
both sides of the battle line. Hence
the growing demand for state con-
stabulary.
In Sacramento, Cal, the officers of
the state militia recently held a con-
ference to formulate plan to be laid
before the legislature to relieve the
California national guard of the duty
of serving in strikes and labor trou-
bles in the future 1t was suggested
that separate body, to be known as
the state constabulary. be formed to
handle strike situations under state
authority. 1t was urged that the per-
sonnet Of the militia can be raised to
a higher level with the strike duty
feature eliminated. Hundreds of
young men desiring military training
refuse to enter the service of the
state, 1t is held, because they do not
desire to be placed in the position of
taking the field against brothers,
fathers, friends and relatives, in the
event of labor troubles.
But why have any body of organic
ed men for shooting brothers and
fathers? A strike is only a protest
against something wrong. Why not
right the thing which is wrong, in
stead of shooting the one who pro-
tests?
James H. Maurer, Socialist assem-
blyman in Pennsylvania, where the
state constabulary Is in full running
order, says:
To briefly sum up the history of
the constabulary in Pennsylvania, /
offer the following:
They are mounted on the best
horses the state can buy.
Their uniforms resemble . cross
between the Irish constabulary and
tho Russian cossacks.
They are, in the main, recruited |,
from the ranks of ex-United States |
soldiers.
They are armed with revolver. rifle,
club-24 inches long. besides hand
cuffs and trail chains.
They override all civil authority.
They arrest persons and invade the
home without warrant.
They protect strikebreakers.
They act as attorneys for strike
breakers when arrested by the local
They pay fines for strikebreakers.
They are officious and overbearing.
They are prejudiced against for
eign born citizens.
They have cracked the skulls of
thousands of strikers and their
friends.
They have ridden down and beaten
women and children.
They have shot to death some of
our citizens.
