Gus Edwards and Revue.

Gus Edwards recently produced
musical comedy entitled "Sunbonnet
Sue" which had success in the mid
die west, but could not get a theater
in New York So he disbanded the
company. picked out the cleverest of
the organization and placed them in
his annual Song Revue, which Is
showing at Keiths this week. Gus, OF
course, heads the company. He still
has a fairly good voice and knows
how TO put over his latest songs with
punch. He is assisted by Chester
Fredericks. George Douglas ana littia
Sandy OF the sterner sex, Whlle
Helen Lynd, Margie Rooney, Mary
Bay. JaZel Johnson, Doris walker,
Ursula O'Hare and ii chorus OF really
beautiful misses. These are mention
ed, because Il few years hence, Sow
eral of them viii be heading big re-
vues and musical comedies. Not much
scenery is used, but the costumes
are appropriate and, in one act. gor-
geous. Many original numbers are
taken from "Sunbunnet Sue" ma
jority of which will doubtless attain
popularity. At least dozen curtain
calls rewarded the producer and his
company last night
Dooley and Sales are put on as an
added attraction. and were the laugh
Ing hit Of the evening. ]. Francis
has been playing golf the past sum-
mer at Atlantic City and is said TO
have gone the round in the 70's,
therefore he has original jokes about
the game that were received vo-
cifetously. He and Miss Sales are
pastmasters in the art of "spoofing"
and every season brings out new
material whic hmakes the couple well
come visitors to all the theaters on
the Keith circuit.
Other good acts include a clever
sketch entitled "A Chance Acquain-
tauce in Fifteen Minutes" in which
Ray Raymond, Dorothy Mackaye and
Frank l.. Clouds offer good comedy
work and dances; Thea Alba, the
wonder girl. who writes backward
with both hands: Markell and Gay in
an original dancing turn; Walter
Brewer, the jolly jester, in a mono
logue; Georges pufranne, the French
tenor, in popular songs; the CeveneB
on the tight wire, and the regular
house attractions.

considered by the churches" he satd
referring 70 the Teapot Dome in

Fortunately Charles Capehart. the

TRIBUNE STORY OF
DELAYED STRIKE
BRANDED FALSE
Ladies Garment Work
ers Ready for Action

The settled policy of the capitalist
press to take liberties with the labor
movement and falsify news with the
obvious intention of injuring the
workers in their efforts to seizure
better conditions was again demon
strated yesterday when the Chicago
Tribune published yarn to the ef-
feet that the threatened strike of the
international Ladies' Garment Work
ers in Chicago was postponed for a
week.
The DAILY WORKER was in
formed authoritatively by leaders of
the union that all necessary steps
had been taken to set the strike ma
chinery in motion when the word to
quit was given in the shops, but that
the date for the strike, altho set,
was kept secret for tactical reasons.
The DAILY WORKER reporter,
after seeing the fable in the Tribune,
Immediately got in touch with the
local Office of the Ladies' Garment
Workers and was informed by
Manager M. Rappaport, of the Joint
DOdTu, IHdb tHtTc WdS no JTuIH WHdL-
ever in the Tribune yarn, "but that
nothing better can be expected from
the capitalist press"
There is no let up on strike prepa-
rations according to information
given to the DAILY WORKER. Halls
are engaged for meetings. leaflets are
ready for distribution, chairmen are
appointed, but the date of the strike
is known only to the strike leaders
and the rumor appearing in the capt.
talist press that the strike will be
called on such and such a date are
only guesses. OF course, il they
keep guessing long enough they may
hit IL right sometime.
The DAILY WORKER, however, is
concerned with helping the union to
make a success Of the strike and not
with competing with Old Moore's AL
manac in prophecy or mind reading.

IT'S TOUGH
JOB GUSHING
DAUCHERTY
LdFOIIetta and Wheeler Join
Forces for Mondays Fight

w AOANs Gu &&s--
Senator LaFoIIette today took
command of the Senate effort
to GUST Attorney General
Daugherty from the cabinet.
At the same time, the belief
grew in administration circles
that if President Coolidge does
not yield this week to the SEN
ate's pressure on him to dis
miss Daugherty, the President
will stand by his attorney gen.
eral until Daugherty has had
full hearing before the Senate
committee.
LaFoIlette's first step was to ar
range with Republican leaders for
adoption on Monday Of the Wheeler
resolution to investigate Daugherty
and for appointment of a committee
to conduct the investigation.
Wheeler Writes to Pepper.
Senator Wheeler, Montana, author
of the resolution and the others lead
ing the investigation scoffed at the
def the attorney general issued
yesterday in letter to Senator Pep
per, Pennsylvania. In that letter
Daugherty said he would carry his
case to the country in a speaking
tour LaFollette believes Daugherty
viii mot have much time for cam
when the senate investiga-
ton gets under way the middle Of
next week"
Wheeler will present the report of
the New York Investigator who, he
stated yesterday, discovered that
had speculated in oil
stocks. The substance of this report
has already been given President
Coolidge.
The investigating committee will
be headed by Senator Brookhart,
Iowa, republican. Brookhart is chief
aide to LaFollette.
Daugherty Pleads for Time.
When Daugherty was urged last
Sunday by Senator Borah to reign
at a conference in the White House
with President Coolidge, he is re-
ported to have taken the attitude that
he desires to obtain the opinions Of
his colleagues in the cabinet. How
ever, so far as is known, he never has
consulted with the other cabinet MEM
bers and the investigation was not
discussed at the cabinet meeting last
Tuesday.
Daugherty has made no statement
Senator Wheeler's charge
that he speculated in oil stocks. Be-
yond his formal reply TO Wheeler's
charges and his letter to Pepper
yesterday, he has said nothing.
In the Pepper letter, which was
reply TO a note from Pepper urging
Daugherty to resign because he was
on the wrong side Of the issue in the
public mind, the attorney general said
IL he quit IL would be confession Of
baseless charges.

two reasons:
because it aligne d
Adams, as committee head, in
opposition to Pepper and
Lodge, two of the party's most
influential senators.
because Daugherty in
his letter to Pepper yesterday
said the attacks were not di-
rected at him alone but at the
whole republican administra-
ton. Adams, it was pointed
out, apparently agrees with
Daugherty in this view Of the
matter.
Strolls Into Senate Chamber.
Attorney General Daugherty. who
rs at sword points with senators who
are trying to GUST him, strolled into
the Senate Chamber shortly after
the session opened today.
Sitting alone on a couch in the
rear, he listened to the reading of
Washington's farewell address by
Senator Willis, Ohio, a friend.
Il promised a month ago to come
up today to hear the reading. ,,
Daugherty explained. 81 am not 90

or confer with anybody. | lust

Wheeler Stares at Him.
Senator Wheeler, Montana, demo-
crat, who bitterly denounced Daugh-
erty in a speech and is author Of a
resolution to investigate the Justice
Department, passed in front of the
attorney general. They stared at
each other but there was no sign of
recognition.
Senator Elkins, West Virginia,
who speculated in Teapot Dome
stocks, came up after a bit and sat
down with Daugherty, who is
charged by Wheeler with oil stock
speculations. They smiled and
talked.

KIWANIANS SEE
TWO CULTURES
SHARP CONTRAST
Army Instructor Insults
Parsee Student

Delivering a Washington birthday
speech before the Kiwanis club, at
the Hotel Sherman, Colonel McClos-
key, chief of staff of the sixth army
corps area, exhibited several copies
of The DAILY WORKER as exam
pies of the subversive "pacifist ano
bolshevist" propaganda spread in
the United States.
Speaks On Patriotism
The colonel spoke on practical
Patriotism" and according to him
this could only be exBmplifed by
loud and insistent demands for the
biggest and best army and navy in
the world.
Following the meeting of which
Captain Hopkins was chairman,
Maneck X. Anklesaria, an Indian
student at Northwestern, and for
merly one Of Mahatma Gandhi's ac-
tive assistants, approached Colonel
McCloskey and expressed a differ
ence of opinion, announcing himself
as opposed to militarism. Western
culture was shown in its finest
flower Immediately. Captain Hop
kins, in the best swashbuckler man
ner, declared that "you shall not have
the honor of shaking hands with
Colonel McCloskey.v He denounced
everyone from Lenin down to Jane
Adams and told Anklesaria that he
was not a citizen Of this country
and would never become one "be-
cause I shall send your name to
the British Embassy and they. will
take care Of YOU
Anklesaria is soft-spoken young
Parsee, who participated in the great
incorporation movement under the
leadership Of Gandhi which shook
British rule in India to its founda-
tions, and which eliminated in Gand-
his arrest and sentence to six years
Imprisonment.
His Pacifsm Strained.
Anklesaria carries a scar under
his chin caused by a British police
MANS baton and according to his de-
scription Of the incident his pacifist
beliefs were strained almost to the
breaking point. He is specializing
in journalism at Northwestern and
intends to start national Indian
newspaper on his return to his ma
tive land.
