'Tell-Tales' Cleverly Done
BY Pennsylvania BOYS

Appearing for the eighth time in
New York. the clever players Of the
Mask and Wig Club of the University

received by large audience in the
Metropolitan Opera House last night.
"Tell-Tales,' travesty on the opera
"William Tell" was this years produc-
ton. Their dancing and singing were
of unusual quality for an amateur
production and their college jokes got
across without a hitch.
The "femlnine' chorus made no at
tempt to use the feeble falsetto not tn
frequently adopted when the cast is en-
tirely masculine. If a bass voice occa-
sionally shocked with its emphasis. at
least the frills and furbelows of the
wearer were perfect in their detail
Twenty fetching musical numbers with
slender plot woven around the per
son of William Tells son, made the
sum total of "Tell-Tales.' The back
ground was Swiss. Most popular of
the numbers were "Palmistry,' where
famous motion picture heroes were i'm
personated by college boys. and "Tho
Opera Blues medley of musical
parodies on famous operatic airs.

made to-day in the Senate by Senator
Smoot Republican, Utah during a gen

should be given tariff protection Of
10 per cent ad valorem on its produc-
ton of cyanide
"Robbery-if you please-for that's
the only way to characterize the
protits,' declared Senator Smoot.
Both he and Chairman McCumbcr of
the Finance Com mmittee, conceded that
the company had monopoly Of the
production of cyanide in the United
states and was the sole agent Of the
German syanidc cartel.
Senator Pittman, Democrat, Nevada
opened the debate on the cyanide para
graph, dec laring that the proposed duty
was in the interest only of a single
company and its subsidiaries, and that
with it in force this company would
charge what the citrus fruit growers
ana the miners of this country can
afford to pay
The Nevada Senator charged that two
days before the United States entered
the war the German owners of the
Roes Haslacher Company trans
ferred stocks to German-American
citizens, and that the Alien Property
Custodian had held that the sale was
fraudulent and to conceal the German
ownership. Senator Frelinghuysen, Re
publican, New Jersey, declared the com
pany was now American owned.
Reading from official records Of the
Ahcn Property Custodian, Senator Pitt
man said the company has made profits
as nigh as 900 per cent, and that one
of the subsidiaries, the Niagara Electric
Chemical Company had made even
higher profits. He charged that some

FOrd'S Shutdown Makes
100000 Men JObIeSs

Detroit-Declaring that the rail-
road and coal strikes "were brought
about artifcially by the Wall street
interests that own the railroads and
the coal mines for the sole purpose of
getting higher price for their coal" !"
Henry Ford announced that he would
close down his factories and branches,
employing about 100000 men, rather
than pay profteers dishonest prices"
for fuel.
The complete shutdown, which will
affect about 100000 men in other
factories depending on Ford orders, is
called for September 16.
Ford said that if his own railroad,
the D. 7. & l., went directly from his
factories to his Kentucky coal mines,
he could bring 250 cars of coal a day
to Detroit, but that he was dependent
on short haul over either the Chesa-
peake & Ohio or the Louisville &
Nashville. Both of those roads, D. T.
& |. officials said, have ceased to de-
liver coal to the Ford road, owing to
strike conditions, since the Ford road
organized its equipment for handling
heavy trains.

No Reason For the
Higher Coal Prices

Belleville, Ill.-With the miners
strike barely settled the coal oper-
ators of Illinois are faced with a
buyers strike and the operators, dis
appointed in the expectation of rush
to buy when production was resumed,
are not asking as much as they had
expected to get. Users of coal are
baking at prices asked on the ground
thta the wages and working condi-
tions of miners are exactly the same
as before the strike and that there
fore the cost of production has not in
creased, whereas the operators are
asking much higher price than they
charged prior to the strike.
Prices today for all grades of coal
ranged from $3.50 for steam sizes to
$3.50 for lump at the mines. This is
from $3.50 to So in excess of prices
which prevailed just before the begin
ming Of the strike, and from $3.50 to
$3.50 above prices prevailing last
winter.
The coal operators explain" that
there is a scarcity and a prospective
shortage of cars, which will limit pro-
duction as the season advances, and
the need for coal becomes more i'm
perative. They argue that "brokers," F"
because of these conditions, are offer
ing premium on the output and the
operators are making their charge to
the public on the basis of what the
brokers are willing to pay.
tIhnTn for fh1c ~
creased price of COAL" declares Jas.
Mason, secretarv-treasurer of the
Belleville sub-district Of the United
Mine Workers. "The miners have re-
turned to work at the same wages
and under the same working condi-
tions as prevailed before the strike.
The cost Of production is the same as
it was. The operators prolonged the
shutdown so that a scarcity would be
created and they could charge more
for their coal. These increased prices
are scheme whereby the public can
be made to pay the cost of the strike. y
