logue abounds in smart epigramatic ex-

and piquant, never clumsy, or labored,
or heavy.
He draws his characters with the prac
ticed skill of keen and sympathetic
student of human nature. They are in
terpreted with equally keen insight and
sympathetic study. His roles are subtly,
unobtrusively differentiated, and the light
touch of the modern English naturalis-

CONCEDED EIGHT-HOUR DAY.

San Francisco.-The Vulcan Iron
works has conceded the eight-hour day
to the housesmiths and architectural
iron workers and is now being operated
on strictly union shop basis.
The Vulcan Iron works is the third
firm to break away from the original
ten firms which locked out their house
smiths, refused to grant the eight-hour
day and declared for the non-union shop
on August /.
That the remaining seven nonunion
firms, working their housesmiths nine
hours day under nonunion conditions,
will shortly follow the example of the
three firms that have signed up with the
union is the opinion of the business
agent of the Housesmiths and Architec-
tural Iron Workers Union, who reports
that all members of the organization are
now employed and that he is unable to
fill the orders for union housesmiths.

WANT THE LAW REPEALED.

Seattle, Wash.-The Washington State
Federation of Labor is in the thick OF
a fight to repeal the anti-picketing law,
rushed through the State legislature and
approved by the governor between March
and March 49, last year. While the
law prohibits picketing it is also an at,
tack on free speech, free press and all
other forms of publicity, which is de-
fined in Section l. which reads: u,
"Whoever shall, for the purpose OF
CARRYING on, calling attention to- or ad-
vertising. directly or indirectly, any con-
troversy, disagreement or dispute be-
tween any labor union or organization
or member or members thereof and any
person engaged in any lawful business,
or his employe, or for the purpose OF
hindering or preventing such person
from conducting his business in any
lawful way, or employing or retaining IN
his employ any person who may lawful
" engage in such business"
The law specifically states that ANY
person who shall engage in picketing
shall be guilty of misdemeanor."
Trade unionsts are asking citizens to
aid them in repeating this statute.

MAINE ENDORSES 54-HOUR LAW

Portland, Maine-A decisive victory
was won at the last election when the
voters of the State by decisive major,
itv approved the 54-hour bill submitted
by action of the legislature. The law
prohibits the employment OF females or
minors more than "a hours a week IN
any mercantile or manufacturing estab-
lishment. The measure was indorsed by
the labor unions and submitted to the
legislature for action thereon. From
the very inception of the fight for its
passage the merchants and manufactur,
ers of the State have bitterly opposed
every step of progress toward its iinal
adoption. After favorable action on 1t
by The LEGISLATURE, the opposition forces
organized to secure its defeat at the
nolls. collecting fund amounting to
thousands of dollars and establishing
headquarters at Augusta, where seven
teen stenographers were engaged IN
sending thousands of copies of literature
explaining to the voters OF the state
how the enactment of a 54.hour law
would drive many of the leading manu-,
featuring concerns and textile mills ou oul
of the State. Despite all that, the

ADJUSTMENTS
LYRIC.

1t is becoming increasingly clear that
in Mr.. Cyril Harcourt, the author of "A
Pair of Silk Stockings" that will come
to the Lyric Theatre next week, for a
return engagement, the English stage
has found writer of comedies with
keen and refreshing sense of humor,
fine feeling for comedy values, wide
range or resource, and not little of the
whimsical fancy and the ingenuity of
dialogue that make Barrie so unfailng
delight. Like Barrie too, Mr.. Har-
court is close observer, but he is not
in love with his own observations, like
Bernard Shaw, nor does he take his char
acters from fancied world where men
love women, as the Civil Servant in
"Pickwick" ate crumpets, on principles.
Mr.. Harcourts men and women are
real, very human Moreover they are
all drawn to type with unfailing cer-
tainty and delineatory skill.
"A Pair of Silk Stockings comedy
which in its genuine humor, its genial
ty, its power to amuse, and its freedom
from acid havorng, must be ranked with
the best. The ultimate test of true
comedy is its power to amuse. "A Pair
of Silk Stockings" would move chronic
dyspeptic to mirth.
The comedy is essentially English in
its humor. On this side of the Atlantic
we are used to hearing the English
humor scoffed at, but what a foolish
thing it is to pretend that the bucolc
buster that SO often passes for humor
on the American and Canadian stage can
be compared for one instant with the
subtle, yet incisve, quality of humor
which is the heritage of the English
stage. "a Pair of Silk Stockings" is in
terpreted by an all English company,
which is another way of saying that for
once we hear the English language spok-
en-, not mangled.
The comedy of "A Pair of Silk Stock
ings" is concerned with the mutual ef-
forts to effect a reconciliation of a
couple who became divorced over quar-
rel regarding the make of motor car
they should buy. An ingenious chain of
accidents and coincidental plans compel
the husband, Sam Thornhil to take
refuge in his makeup as character of
the famous old comedy, caste" in a
wardrobe in room occupied for the
night by the wife who has divorced him.

Major Bagnal, who has been occupying
the same room previous to her arrival,

house, effects an entrance by the window
TO avoid disturbing the household and

of the intruder in the wardrobe is dis

necessary to produce him in order to
clear up an embarrassing situation and
set himself right in the eyes of Pamela
Bristowe, to whom he is engaged, the
situation becomes suspicious, indeed
The manner of its unravelling and the
