Some OF the actors and actresses
who play middle-aged parts are so
youthful that somehow the makeup
does not suffice to cover up their
young looks and complete the illu-
sion. For example. Kenneth's gray
hair was not enough to cover up
his youthfulness and the writer felt
all along that the father was fully
as young as the son. OF course.
John Ryder was the kind of fellow
who is supposed to stay young a
long time. But shouldn't there have
been few wrinkles visible? Per-
haps mt. The writer is putting this
out merely as a tentative sugges-
tion.
The audience was large and en-
joyed the performance immensely.
The between-act numbers were also
enjoyed. The crowd was in a good
natured mood and everyone seemed
glad not only to see the play, but
to meet his neighbor in a friendly
sort of way. For crowd has var
ous moods, just as an individual
foes. 1t sure is fine thing when
| crowd can get together in the
friendly community spirit of last
Fridays crowd and enjoy such an
ntersting play as "The Lion and the
Mouse" was when presented by the
FIRST ward players.

NEW YORK, May 22.-The great
debate Of the season has all New
York on its toes with expectancy.
Next Monday, May Is, at p. m. in
Carnegie Hall, Bertrand Russell, no.
ted English philosopher, and Scott
Nearing, we'll known American pro-

late one: "The Prospects Of Indus.

Nobody Claims Poor
Granny Dead From

For six days wrinkled little old
lady lay unconscious on cot in one
of the county hospital wards. No one
ever called up TO find out about her.
No one ever came to see her. She lay
there fiuttering between life and
death ever since she had been brought
in after street car struck her. Then
she died.
Perhaps somewhere in the city the
little old lady has left a distraught
family. daughter or son who doesn't
realize that the government some
times knows what happens to lost
children and wandering grannies. Per
haps there was sick old grandfather
at home waiting the pathetic old
lady's return.

HARVEY TOSPIT
FIRE AT HUGHES
IN EDITORIALS
Mclean Hires Knee
Pants Boy On Post

WASHINGTON, May 22.-Anounce-
ment by F. B. Mclean, of the Wash
ington Post, heretofore the mouth
piece of the administration, that he
has engaged Col George Harvey as
editorial director of the paper be-
ginning June I, has sent a chnf thru
the state department, and has raised
the eyebrows of the entire admins
tration.
Harvey Visits Cal.
Harvey resigned as ambassador to
Great Britain after Coolidge came in
to the presidency, and it was at first
understood that he was to manage
the 1924 campaign. He came here and
stayed week as guest of the White
House. Then he vanished, and soon
afterward his personal representative
here ceased to pick UP hopeful bust
ness magnates and other notables and
escort them to private interviews with
Cautious Cal.
At that time it was noised abroad
that Harvey had urged Coolidge to
begin negotiations with Russia. Sen.
Borah and Harvey had met and talked.
Sen. Laid and other travellers thru
Russia had given Harvey their views.
Coolidge made an equivocal statement
in his December message, and then
permitted Hughes to slap the Russian
government in the face when it in
terpreted this declaration as hint
to offer conference on Russo-Ameri-
can questions. Harvey had never
loved Hughes; now it was thought
that he esteemed the Secretary of
State even less.
Harvey Tough Reaetionary.
While Harvey is a reactionary of
the most outspoken, even vindictive
type, he is likewise incapable of for
getting personal differences. His con-
troll of the editorial policy Of the
Washington Post means that drops of
vitriol will be deposited on the blush
ing ,countenance of Hughes at critical
moments, if Hughes remains in the
cabinet.

Especial TO The Daily Worker)
PEORIA, Ill.,, May 22.-Dis-
satisfaction over the three year
wage agreement was expressed
by delegates to the Illinois mine
workers convention, in a spirited
attack on the section of Presi-
dent Farrington,s, report dealine-

GARY STEEL
TOILERS HOLD
BIG MEETING
Speakers Talk UniOnisna
To Large Audience

The exploited slaves of the
Steel Trust in the city of Gary.
Indiana, are recovering from
the psychological effects of the
defeat suffered by them in 1919
and are showing an interest in
organization that is decided
relief from the apathy that pre-
vailed there until recently.
This was indicated when
Roumanian Hall was packed
with workers of all nationalities
on Wednesday evening where
an organization meeting under
the auspices of the Executive
Council of Organizations in the
Steel Industry was held.
The steel workers listened atten-
lively to the speakers and at the con
clusion of the meeting many of them
signified their willingness to Join and
help organize the workers in the steel
industry thruout the country in one
united body, in order to be in posi-
Ion to win more of the product of
heir toll from the greedy robbers
who own the steel industry.
E. Johnson chairman of the Lake
County organization committee, pre-
sided. William Harmon, secretary
treasurer of the Executive Council of
Organization in the Steel Industry,
spoke on the necessity of organization
and invited the steel workers to sign
application blanks for membership.
Other speakers were A. Wilson, of
the Broommakers' Union, w. N. Tuck
eP. electrical Workers; e. WERNER.
Electrical Workers and 7. J. OFla-
herty
The organizers of the meeting were
pleased at the numbers that turned
out. Many of the leaders in the great
1919 steel strike were present. Some
of them frankly expressed their view
to the DAILY WORKER reporter that
only union comprising all of the
workers in the steel industry. would
challenge the enthusiasm of Gary's
slaves.
They held that the workers who
saw their strength FILTERED away in
1919, between rival international I'M
ions, who quarreled for the per capita
would not care to go thru the same
experience again. They wanted to or
ganize along the lines of industry and
ignore craft divisions.
This is also the position of the more
progressive and farsighted organizers
that the DAILY WORKER representa-
tive came in contact with. One could
not but feel optimistic after seeing
the splendid enthusiasm at the Gary
meeting on last Wednesday evening
that sentiment for organization is now
growing so fast among the steel work
ers that only rigid adherence to an
antique form of organization can halt
the forward march of the mill slaves
All the speakers made very good
impression on the audience with the
exception of an interruption from the
floor which caused little irritation
and annoyance. It was understood,
Of course, that goodly number of
Steel Trust spies were present with
the object Of attempting to break up
the meeting, but there was too much
unanimity to give any such attempts
even a slight hope of success.
Those in charge of the organization
work in Gary and vicinity announced
that another meeting would be held
at an early date.

the floor supported.
Delegate after delegate dis
agreed with this but felt that
their hands were tied because
of the Jacksonville contract.
Delegates showed that the union
had not kept pace with the develop
ment of industry. They showed that
what was offered by harrington was
also offered by the coal barons and
that we should organize as a class;
that it had been wrong for the miners
to stay at work when the railroad
workers were on strike, and vice
versa
Boost Non-Union Coal.
Delegate John Watt pointed out
that the Federated Press had showed
that there was movement on foot
to buy non-union coal, no matter
whether it cost more than union coal,
in order to destroy the United Mine
Workers of America.
He showed that it cost in Illinois
$1.65 per ton to mine coal and $40
per ton for freight. while in West Vir-
ginia it cost 1925 per ton to mine and
the freight rate was sS.17.
He showed by statistics that it cost
more to mine and ship coal in non
union fields than it did in union, and
that Farrington's proposition was not
a solution, but only aggravated the
situation.
Exposes Farrineton's Bunk.
He pointed out that to cheaper pro-
duction was bunk. He showed that
to live up to the present agreement
was going to bring the greatest hard
ship to the organization. Not one
single delegate supported that part of
the report. None of them seemed to
know what should be done about it.
harrington Gets Pessimistic.
Harrington. talking in support of his
class collaboration scheme, painted a
pessimistic picture of the conditions
in the mining industry. He stated
tnat MS report was only an emphasis
of the contract and that no part Of
his report was out of line with that
contract.
He stated that there were grave
doubts in the minds of the interna-
tional officers, as well as in his own
mind, as to whether the miners would
get much work under the present
contract. He said that he had many
letters from Illinois coal operators,
stating that there would have to be
a modification of the contract and
that no one could tell what the future
held for the miners unless the Ken
lucky coal operators were forced to
accept the contract.
Delegates, hearing this, remembered
that part of the published letters be-
tween Harrington and Lewis which
was concerned with the keeping of
