Fine Play at Strand

The two days engagement of The
Servant in the House" is announced
as the program at the Strand today.
The Servant in the House" is
easily one of the best known plays
before the public. 1t was first pro-
duced in New York over 10 years
ago, and since that time it has
steadily grown in public favor. There
is not season that there is not at
least one Servant in the House
company en- tour, and year after year
it enjoys capacity business at each
city. Canada is now getting its first
glimpse of the production. which was
originally produced with Henry Mil
Ter, Tyrone Power and Edyth Wynne
Mathison in the cast. It's opening
at the old Savoy theater in the
metropolis was the beginning of
solid year of uninterrupted success.
In it's picture form II has lost none
of the charm of the spoken version,
but rather has enhanced its appeal
through the sheer unlimited possi-
bility OF the mirrored art.
A goodly portion OF the action was
photographed in Pasadena. Cal, with
the famous Busch sunken gardens as
the background.
The story of "The Servant In the
House" is one of compelling strength
and heart reaching drama It in
spires with it's brilliant teachings,
reaches ideal heights in the scope of
the narrative, and keeps its theme
at all times well within the bounds
of humanness. In fact, il is in the
human angle that it has reached it's
envious plane.
While it is by no means dry
preachment, it nevertheless presents
a lesson easily learned. in the prac-
tice of which life viii be more beau
tiful to everyone. II has been pro-
duced with q wonderfully high re-
gard for its potent value and will be
found one of the most wholesome,

That good news travels fast Is
shown by a letter written by the sec
retary OF woman's club In Mount
Holyoke, Mass, to the secretary of
a San Francisco club and forwarded
by her to a clubwoman of Phoenix.
The letter describes in the most
glowing terms musical play which
had been staged there during the
week which netted more than $4,000
for the benefit OF a worthy cause ard
which had won the praise of all who
saw it, The fascinating songs, the

Back to Middle Ages--Ony Difference Being Handcue

Certain senators are preparing the
public mind for a movement in con-
gress to put teeth" in the labor sec
tions of the Cummins- -Esch act.
The public is told that decisions by
the railroad labor board will be made
enforceable on capital (meaning cap
italists) and labor alike
This seems fair to the element of
our population that forms its opin-
ions by reading newspaper headlines,
but organized workers know different
The public is assured that capital
(meaning capitalists favor this
PLAN
Why wouldn't they? 1t would fling
the strike power from the hands of
labor, strip workers of their most
effective weapon and place their lib
erty and welfare in the hands of a
government agency.
A railroad labor board award can
not affect the liberty of capitalist.
His identity is lost in the corporation
and corporation cannot be jailed. A
corporation may be fined for violating
an award, but that will be charged to
operating expense and rates screwed
up so that dividends are assured, no
matter how large the fine.
To talk of jailing a capitalist is
ridiculous. One of his managers
might go to Jail, but hired man is
not a capitalist. To conjure an ex-
treme possibility, let US assume the
president of railroad is sent to Jail
until he is released by habeas cor
pus proceedings. But he, also, is a
hired man. He is not a capitalist.
Who will say that the railroad labor
board would dare reach down into Wall
street and jail capitalist of the
standing of Mr. Morgan or Mr.. Kuhn

Chicago for the rail
road shop men have proved that At
torney General Daugherty is eligible
to the Ananias Club, founded by a
former president.
The attorney general made solemn
pledge-in the public press-that he
would assist the shop men in their
appeal of the Wilkerson injunction.
When the appeal was started, the at
torney general refused to aid unless
the shop men agreed to accept as de-
positions the hundreds of affidavits
he presented to Judge Wilkerson in
support of his conspiracy charges.
A deposition is a sworn statement,
before court officer, after the affiant
is cross examined. The Daugherty
affidavits were largely made by fed
eral deputy marshals and detectives,
and are based wholly on hearsay evi-
dence, which would be given no con-
sideration in deposition proceedings.
The purpose of the attorney general
was to get his wobbly affidavits out
of the way by having the other side
accept them as facts.
If the shop mems attorneys agreed
to treat the affidavits as depositions,
this would remove the affdavits from
the controversy, the shop men would
acknowledge that conspiracy exists
and thereby sustain everything the
attorney general has claimed.
The Daugherty proposal was an I'M
pudent one, and was impelled by the
desperate hope that the shop mems
attorneys would accept anything to
get the case into a higher court.
If the plan succeeded, then when
the shop men appeared before the

The freight congestion has reached
the point where government officials

railroads accepted the presidents

That offer provided that strikers
would return to their former positions
and all other questions be referred to
the railroad labor board. The shop
men accepted this offer when the
president said he would Swing the

it was necessary to have them accept.
The rail executives refused to accept
and the 'big stick" was swung at
labor, instead, in the form for an
offer that they leave all questions to
the labor board. Later this was
followed by the administrators in
junction.

MINE WORKERS SUED

CIarksburg, w. Va.-The United
Mine Workers have been sued for
$4,000 damages by H. NJ. Sipe, who
bases his claim on the United States
supreme courts decision in the Coro-
nado case. Sipe says the Miners
Union will not sign a contract with
him, and that that makes it impos-
sible to work the Miller mine, near
Wilsonburg.
The union refuses to sign this
agreement because the Miller mine is
under the direction of an anti-union
concern. The suit indicates how far
judge-made claw" can be applied.

because one of their corporation VIC
lated an award?
Even were this possible, there yet
remains a fundamental difference be
tween jailing workers and jailing d
capitalist for violating one of these
awards.
The capitalist is jailed because he
refuses to pay a certain wage rate
or because he objects to improving
working conditions. This is merely
difference of opinion between the cap
italist and the labor board There is
no principle involved between the two
parties Their standards of living
for the workers is but a point of
view, with both insisting that their
guess is correct.
When the worker is jailed because
he suspends work and refuses to ac-
cept the boards decision, his personal
liberty is involved, while dollars is the
only thing involved in the capitalists
case.
The worker refuses to labor under
conditions distasteful to him. He
quits and induces others to quit.
The capitalist can get out of jail
if he will let the board set wages
for him, just as the interstate COM
merce commission sets freight rates
for him.
The worker, too, can get out of jail,
but he must surrender his liberty
Or, to put it another way-the cap
italist is in Jail because he clings to
his dollars and the worker is in jail
because he clings to a free mans
rights.
In the first instance, money is in
volved. In the other instance, human
liberty is involved.

shop men and rail executives. The
shop men have continuously held that
seniority was a 'red herring" used by
railroad executives and their hackers
to confuse the issue. The shop men
knew that if grievances were adjusted
the railroad officials would quickly
find a way to dispose of strikebreak-
ers and reinstate their competent
men.
The "red herring" however, was
seized upon by statesmen, editors, and
other individuals whose ignorance of
the question was only equalled by
their vehemence.
The question of seniority is answer
ed by the condition of rolling stock.
Minor railroad officials responsible
for the condition of this rolling stock
know that it has been wrecked by the
strikebreakers, even though railroad
fnanciers, Wall street brokers and
the garden variety of statesmen
declare that the strikebreaker must
be retained
These minor officials, however, will
have their way. On railroads that
have reached an agreement with the
shop men, strikebreakers are being
quietly dropped, while the 'best
minds" who shouted for the strike
breaker will pass on to their next
anti-union hobby.

Seattle. = "The Admiral line has
again given evidence of its 100 per
cent 'Americanism' by discharging 27
white members of its crew and replac-
ing them with Asiatics," says the
Seattle Union Record. ''The purpose
is to reduce wages. In this connec-
tion it should be remembered that
most of the vessels operated by the
Admiral line are owned by the United
States. Thus it is seen that the prop
erty of the United States is being
used as an instrument in forcing
down wages of seamen.
THE Admiral line is a part of the
crowd that would sink its paws into
the public treasury by way of ship
subsidy.
