The propensity displayed by the juve-
nile population Of this great city for
African golf greatly aroused William

ton.

Upon five prisoners who were charged
with having called forth invocations to

saying: I'VE will put the money into

Of the limitations of the testimony, how

When the parade OF youthful devotees

CIGARMAKERS' STIKE
BACKED BY GOMPERS
Asks Smokers to Help Fight
for Sanitary Conditions.

Samuel Gompers, president OF the
American Federation of Labor, has APP
pealed TO the locals of the federation to
assist the cigar makers in their strike.
according to a statement made last night
by Jacob Melhado. chairman OF the cigar
makers general strike committee.
The chairman and Mr.. Gompers met
SATURDAY. in Washington and. according
to Mr.. Melhado, Mr.. Gsmpers assured
the striking cigar makers of the whole
hearted support of the American FEEDER
alton of Labor. made a personal contri-
button to the strike fund and promised
that he would speak at the strikers
meetings. An appeal for support has
been sent out under the auspices of the
American Federation OF Labor to its
locals. urging them to help the cigar
makers and stating that the full force Of
the American Federation Of Labor is be-
hind the strike. This appeal is signed
by Mr.. Gompers.
twenty-five thousands cigar makers
in Greater New York alone are on strike
and have been for the last ten weeks"
Mr.. Melhado continued. Their princi-
pal demands are for recognition of the
union, a forty-four hour week. the estab-
llshment OF shop committees and the in
stallation of sanitary necessities.
EVERY man who smokes cigars should
find peculiar interest In our demands for
working conditions that conform to the
ordinary standards of decency. The
health Of smokers is directly affected by
the unspeakable unsanitary state of af-
fairs that prevail in the majority Of fac
tories. We propose that the workers APP
point shop committees, In accordance
with the best practices of modern indus
trial conditions, to have control over
working conditions. II should be under-
stood by the public that such shop COM
mittees would have no concern with the
financial management of the industry.
Their jurisdiction ends with the control
over working conditions.
1--WE have taken every means at our
disposal for arbitration with the Cigar
Manufacturers Association. but thus far
they have failed, We have been willing
to arbitrate at any time. We have made
countless proposals to the Manufacturers
Association for the appointment OF Joint
committees to thresh the matter out, but
they have all been turned down"

RED SYMPATHIZER
MOBBED AT MOVIE
Portuguese Applauds Bolshe-
visits in Strand Film, Audi
ence Goes on Warpath.

Two mob scenes were witnessed In
the Strand Theatre yesterday afternoon.
One of them was shown on the screen
with Geraldine Farrar and Lou Tellegen
making a thrilling escape from blood
thirsty Bolsheviki. The other occurred
in the audience when several hundred
angry men and women spectators hurled
themselves upon a Portuguese who had
laudly applauded the Reds in the film
production.
The crowd which greeted the initial
exhibition of r"The World and Its
Woman" a picture. dealing with the old
Russia and the new. with an abundance
of riot and romance. was gazing in
horror at the excuses Of the Bolshevil
hordes when there came from the rear of
the house a strenuous outburst of hand
clapping.
When Bolsheviki snatched hats off of
well dressed women, slapped the face
of a deposed Russian prince and in other
characteristic ways revealed their blood
thirsty natures the handclapping con-
tinued intermittently. 1t irritated the
audience and there were hard looks in
the direction or the disturber.
1t was when he read upon the screen
the lines Down with the church and
autocracy." supposedly uttered by the
riotous rabble, that the Portuguese,
unable to hold his enthusiasm within
bounds. clapped his hands vociferously.
Just what followed in the film was
lost, for the audience arose en- masse
and started after the Red sympathizer.
Men scrambled over the back of seats
to get a whack at the noisy offender.
who was speedily surrounded on all sides
and was absorbing the kicks and
punches of indignant men and scratches
of Infatuated women when State Trooper
z. C. Roberts of White Plains pushed
his way to the centre of the swirling
throng and rescued him.
The Portuguese, bleeding and dis
hevelled, was taken to night court. He
gave his name as Manuel Lopez and his
address as 1a1 West Ninetieth street
