UNION THEATRES
Houses Entitled to Our
First Preference in Patronage
THE HYPERION.

When George Broadhurst who has
written a score of successes for the
stage, wrote Bought and Paid For
he wrote a domestic drama that took
New York by storm, playing at one
,theater there to capacity for two years
with Julia Dean in the leading role and
for five years the play was tremend-
Gus success on the road More than
all else to show theatergoers of today
what fine drama they used to write in
the days few years back, Bought
and Paid For" will be the offering next
week by the Hyperion Players and
from the standpoint of production,
mounting, artistic work and all else the
coming production will be every bit
equal to any that has ever played be-
fore.
Virginia Blaine is the central figure
Robert Stafford, a wealthy railroad
magnate, and he marries her because he
really loves her But Stafford is adj
dicted to drink and other vices and his
conduct becomes unbearable so much
so that his wife decides to leave home
and as she goes she hears ringing in
her ears the threat he makes that "she
will come back because she is his,
bought and paid for" To reveal the
whole story would mar the njoyment
of those who intend seeing the play, but
it is not amiss to state that Ninita Bris-
tow in the role of Virginia Blaine is
called upon to do the most exacting
work of her stage career.
Malcolm Fassett, who seems destined
to have difficult roles to portray but
always portrays them well, will be seen
as Robert Stafford and he has some
big scenes during the play. Eric Dress
Ter as Jimmy" Gilly has a whale of a
role for he is the dove of peace that
settles over the household. Rhea Dive
ly and the other favorites are happily
cast and Director Arthur Holman is in
his element in staging this play.
Viewed from any angle Bought and
Paid For" is the punchiest play of the
season at the Hyperion. Seats for the
entire week are now on sale at the box
office Announcement is made that the
following production will be musical
comedy none other than the tuneful
exhilarating and certainly new hit
The Little Whopper,'' last seen here
at top prices with Vivienne Siegel in
the leading role.

SENATE STALLS
ON IMMIGRATION
RESTRICTION BILL
Despite Emergency Will Hold Up
Any Legislation for Present
Term.

Washington, Jan. 14-Despite the
general desire of the country, the Sen
ate, as was anticipated after the Fin
terests" got busy, is apparently going to
stall on the immigration restriction bill
that was passed by the House and will
continue stalling until the present ses-
sion of Congress is adj burned, in March,
and meantime the flood of European I'M
des1rables will continue to pour into the
United States. Hearings on the pro-
posed restriction bill were held by the
Senate committee this week and were
purify bluff, members of the committee
asserting after that there was little
likelihood of such a law being passed
this session. After that the emergency
due to the unemployment will probably
be lifted and the committee can get
away with it.
One of the members of the immigra-
ton committee predicted inasmuch as
the Johnson bill admittedly was an
emergency measure designed to meet a
temporary need-that of checking the
alleged food it probably would be side
tracked until such time as the emer-
gency could be proven. Other commit
tee members expressed similar opinions,
saying that the present immigration
laws would remain unchanged for the
present or until the committee was able
to draft permanent immigration 1egis-
lation.
Protection for the American 1aborers
from foreign imports on an equality
with the protection accorded American
products by tariff laws was asked of
| the senate committee during the week
| by Frank Morrison, secretary of the
| American Federation of Labor. Mr.
Morrison said the position of the fed
Grafton was that of straight-cut pro-
| lection without any reservation, tor
period of two years, from alien labor.
1--WE object" he said, ito throwing
the doors wide open, flooding the Amer
lean labor market with cheap European
labor and denying the American work
er the same protection you give his pro
| ducts under the tariff laws"
The federation secretary told the
committee that reports just received
from labor officials in al cities showed
the total number of unemployed IL
those places to be 1892, and said hi
would not "dare estimate what the tota
of all cities would show"
at is a high crime" he continued
for any man, in the face of these
figures, to advocate the bringing o.
millions of men from Europe and ado
them to the number of unemployed al
ready here. Inc nood IS ready u
come"
Mr.. Morrison declared the American
workman was entitled to Sustaining
EMPLOYMENT" and that he could not ge
this as long as the doors were open tt
| the Europeans.
| Secretary Morrison was preceded OF
the stand by a delegation of bushes:
men representing construction industrle!
and manufacturers throughout thu
country. John R. Virgins of Pennsyl
vania, leader of the delegation, oppoee
the johnson bill and declared argument
that flood of Europeans was 1mm1
nent" were absolutely fallacious:" HI
asked for modification or elimination
of literacy tests and contract restr1c
ton laws.

WANT TO BORROW
100000 TO COVER
OPEN SHOP FAILURE
Hartford Building Blowup Once
More Before the
Courts.

Hartford, Jan. 14.-Charles c. Cook,
receiver of the Hartford Home Building
association, inc, yesterday filed with the
clerk of the superior court, the formal
orders Judge Maltbie will be asked to
approve in the session of the court to-
day to straighten out the tangle due to
the failure of the open shop" methods
used in the building.
He will ask for authority to borrow
100000, to be secured by receiver S
certificates and he also asks that he be
allowed to sell the certificates, which
will bear interest at per cent, at 90
cents on the dollar. The certificates to
run for one year from the date of their
issue.
The receiver will also ask for an
order that he be permitted to pay Viii
liam H. Scoville and Clinton L. Cole
for services as appraisers. The ap-
pralsers have presented a bill for
s., $50 for services and disbursements,
the same to be equally divided between
them. The bondho1ders' committee, now
furnishing the money to the receiver,
regards the bill as reasonable, Mr.. Cook
says.
Mr. Cook, as receiver, make a hnan-
cial statement, showing as receiver he
has received a total of sos, 346.51, and
that to January 10, he had $27,774.o0
on deposit in bank, he having expended
$75,571o1.
The other matter Mr.. Cook will call
to the attention of the judge, is for
an order to sell certain personal prop
erty, in the way of temporary build
ings, equipment, tools, automobiles and
automobile trucks, he having no further
use for this personal property in con-
nection with the construction.

THOMAS PLEADS
FOR THE CONSUMER
BEFORE SENATE

Washington, Jan. IA plea for con-
sideration for the ultimate consumer
was made by Senator Thomas, demo-
crat, Colorado, before the Senate Fl
nance Committee, which is holding
hearings on the House Emergency Tar
iff bill designed to protect the farmers
1T strikes me-" said Senator Thorn
as, that some consideration ought to be
given the consumer. Everybody comes
here appealing for help. Everybody is
i'll a bad fix. But the result is always
the same-stick the consumer"
K. d. Loos, appearing on behalf of
California lemon growers, had asked
for tariff of two cents pound on
lemons. The present rate is IA cents.
Senator Thomas inquired whether, if
this rate was fixed, the growers would
not develop a monopoly as a result of
barring out Italian lemons. The wit
ness insisted no such effect could be
expected, explaining that more lemons
were now stored here than at any time
in 10 years.
That may be true" said the senator,
but that is fine example of what is
being asked of Congress-everybod
who has something to sell is seeking to
exploit those who have to buy Some
may need relief, but so does the con-
sumner, If the relief you ask is grant
ed-and this applies not only to the
lemon industry but to all industries
the pecuniary relief comes, out of the
consumer.
why, the only things the consumer
can buy cheaply now are corkscrews
and postage stamps, and he has no need
for corkscreWs.'
The witness said the tariff sought
was intended only to carry the lemon
producers over the emergency.
Amendments proposing to add can
ned salmon, herring cherries and apples
to the emergency tariff bill were intro
duced by Senator Jones, republican,
Washington.

Washington, Jan. 14.-Labors' answer
to recent legal and legislative setbacks
may be to fight capital with capital it
self. An experiment, now called ''the
Norfolk idea,' conducted by the Inter
national Association of Machinists, is
being much discussed and, it is said,
is about to be repeated on the Pacific
coast. In brief, the Norfolk idea is
the use of capital assets and credit of
organized labor in the fight to force
employers to meet its demands
