SHOE STRIKE" IN
 CHICAGO A FAKE
Only Malicious Attempt of Seces- sionists to Disrupt
 Union.

Contrary to statements in a circular letter sent out from Chicago and signed by Joint Council No 9, United Shoe Workers of America" there is no strike of shoe workers on in Chicago and the letter was nothing but the efforts of a secession movement intended to give the impression that a legitimate strike is on m Chicago factories. In an official statement issued this week by C.. L. .Baine, general secretary of the Boot and Shoe Workers Union, 1t is stated ::
 The communication was rep1ete with malicious misrepresentations and de1ib- crate falsehoods and the so-called strike referred to was nothing more than an attempt on the part of these union de- Structlon1stS to create a strike situation on false issue, which action on their part was repudiated by our union and other shoe workers in all the large factories of Chicago. The purpose of the circular was to attack the Boot and Shoe Workers Union and its Union stamp. Members of Organized Labor are informed that there is no strike on in any of the Chicago shoe factories at the present time"
 The communication adds that refer ence was made to the F1orsheim Shoe company to create the impression that that company is unfair. On the con- trary the company IS strictly union and entitled to patronage and consideration of all union men.

This something new in- variahly fails chiefly because it attracted the erratically inclined who never want to stay hitched, and they then start out with something new again, while the solid, substantial, p1odding, evolution ary, constructive trade union movement continues to improve.

War Gas Poisoning

The Yale University Press announces
the publication on April II of Col
lected Studies on the Pathology of War
Gas Poisoning" by Milton C. Winter
nitz, professor of pathology at the
School of Medicine, Yale University.
This monograph deals with the expert
mental study of exposure to various
gases. The work is extensively illus
trated with fortysix color plates and
eighty-nine half tones, thus giving the
student an unusual opportunity to visu-
alize the results almost as though he
were in the operating room. Without
the illustrations, it would take volume
three times the size of the present work
to cover the same field The book sells

Literary Drama
Volume of One-Act PLAYS
Proves Ineffective

T. N THE brief preface to his latest
collection of one-act plays, MASKS"
Henry Holt & Co.., George Mid
dleton intimates that the highly COM
mercialized character of the modern
thcater obliges the earnest dramatst to
confde his sincerest efforts to print.
One opens the little volume with the con-
fdence that it will prove one more doc
ument with which to damn the CONNER
cialized producer, but confidence wanes
with the turning of the pages. The
playlets have no commercial value, as
the author acknowledges, but it will be
hard to agree with him that they have
any artistic value. They are tidy little
sketches, with deft touch here and
there, but, on the whole, uninventive as
to subject and unadroit as to dialogue.
The collection falls short of the
standard Mr.. Middleton set in his pre-
vious volumes. There is, of course,
war playlet, "Tides," but it suffers from
the malady that has proved fatal with
nearly all the plays written about the
late war: it concerns itself too little
with the drama of the event and too
much with tho morality. "Tides" tells
the story of radical-pacilist who enlists
and the dialogue is written in the mood
of tedious apologize. 1t seems our play
wrights are still occupied with the eff
fort to prove either that it was right to
go into the war or right to stay out of
it. Perhaps we are still too close to the
war to expect our playwrights to record
the drama of it, In so far as it furnishes
literary material, the war is very much
of a piece with psychoanalysis. Any
amateur can make psychoanalysis
thrilling, and few professionals ever
succeed in doing so. The professional
writer is not nearly as interesting as
the average doughboy who has been in
battle and is willing to talk.

A Gang of Thieves
Gore and Melodrana in
Tale of Mystery

A MIGHT be anticipated from
N the title, there is an abundance
of gore and melodrama in "Thc
Mystery of The Silver Dagger" by RAN
dali Parish (Doran). Some thieves
learn that the sum of one million dol
lars has been raised for the purpose of
stirring up revolution in Chile. They
all attempt to secure possession Of the
money; and each one makes every eff
fort to cheat his companions out of
their fair share.
man and girl appear on the scene
to thwart the criminals. Both are
Americans of high courage and spotless
character; and, of course. they are
drawn toward each other by a strong
mutual attraction. Their task is by
no means easy; for they have to deal
with a nondescript crew of desperate
characters of all nationalities, includ-
ing Chileans, Russian Jews and every
day American Crooks. The most for
midable of the conspirators is pro-
fessional safecracker who bears the eu-
phonious nickname of "Gentleman
George" He scarcely seems to de-
serve the appellation, for he perpetu-
ally emits "gruff oaths" and his meth
DDS of fighting are not regulated by any
Marquis Of Queensbury rules.
On the whole, the story is not very
cleverly or very convincingly told. The
amazing condolences are so numerous
and SO frequent that the edge of the
mystery is pretty we'll dulled. The
author can always be relied on to ex-
trioate his hero and heroine from any
scrape and to clear up any doubtful cir
cumstances by producing new and star
Ting bits of evidence at the precise
psychological moments when they arc
required
