SITUATION IS DESPERATE
Fresh Government Troops Are Push- ing on to Attack Huasteca, Mexico Rebels Hard Pressed in Vera Cruz.

Tampico. Mexico, Jan, 11.--Fresh government troops arrived here today ontheir way to Huasteca to take part in the attack on Tuxpam.
 The situation of the rebels at Vera Cruz, their headquarters, is described as desparate through lack of funds The action of the United States in de- claring an arms embargo against them is also said to have caused to moralization among the rebels.
 Jorge Prieto Laurens, one of the principal supporters of Adolfo de la Huerta, the rebel leader. recently ar- rived at Tuxpam and is reported to have demanded a loan of 10000 pe- sos from each oil company having representatives there, giving them five days in which to deliver the money.
 Late devices are to the effect that the rebels have ordered suspensions of the pumping operations of the Hu- asteca, Aguila and Mexican petroleum companies which is taken here to in dicate that the oil men refused their demands for money.

RED CROSS ADVANCING IN HEALTH CAMP AIGN
Extends Service to New Fields and Brings Healing Hope to
 Remote Sections.

The supreme opportunity for lead ership" for the American Red Cross is its health service Thus committee made up of prominent physicians, san- itarians and public health experts, after months of exhaustive study, re- ported and urged that not only should the Red Cross continue its present service, but should undertake comprehensive educational cam paign along public health lines. The an- nual report of the American Red Cross, just issued, discloses that it has grasped this opportunity in the fields of public health nursing, 1n- struction in home hygiene and care or the sick, nutrition work, first aid to the injured and in water 1ife-saving.
 Health service is fundamentally, historically and practically an 1mpor- tant function of the Red Cross, and each year marks it's extension into new fields and along broader lines. In the Red Cross Nursing Service there are enrolled nearly 10000 nurses, 2o,- 900 of whom served during the World War. The past year Red Cross nurses were assigned to duty in isolated sections of Alaska and North Caro- lima and to work among the fisher men of Penobscot Bay, Me.
 The Public Health Nursing Service, inaugurated by the American Red Cross in 1912, which operates chiefly in rural sections untouched by other public health agencies, has 1,O3S Red Cross nurses working under the di- rection of Chapters. This work has won so high a regard that many of the nurses are taken over by the local authorities to maintain health services for their communities. Instruction in Home Hygiene and Care of the Sick is noting a steady advance. Since 1914 certificates of proficiency have been given 3O4.427 women who com pleted the Red Cross course. In the last x year 2s,5s5 certificates were awarded and 65,s01 students were un- der the instruction of 1,054 Red Cross nurses.
 The benefits derived from meals balanced to meet each persons pecul- far needs is winning widespread rec ognition through the work of the Red Cross Nutrition Service, particularly in the schools During the school year 2,68S carried on regular instruc- ton in nutrition, reached more than 150,0OO children and adults. More than 2,25O volunteers assisted in this work Throughout the country s5,283 health meetings were held under Red Cross auspices, attended by approd- mately 254,500 persons.

tieth Century and in their hearts and thinkings are valeting around a moldy old throne before the days of Charlemagne.
 A queer old mummy of/this order of mind bobs up now and then to pro test against the idea that actors should belong to labor unions.
 We'll, but why?
 Because, says this intellectual King Tut from his musty tomb, an actor isn't a laborer; he is an artist. Therefore, he should be above the low, vulgar associations of yokels and greasy mechanics that are called trade unions.
 So when there is a clash between an actors union and an employer of actors, mummy shrieks aloud to the public to support the employer and uphold the sacred traditions of art.
 Hark from the tombs-for this is prehistoric bosh.
 What the artist might have been in ancient Egypt, nobody knows, It may be that along the banks of the grand old Nile, there were no combin- ations of employers and managers, and actors, never being preyed upon, had no need of protection. If so, life in early Egypt was very different from life i'll modern America
 Mummy of course, not being able to think, never reflected that what he calls with contempt mere labor un- ions" did not come into being because of the innate depravity of men that work but for totally different reason.
The Connecticut labor news., 1924-05-03

l We have labor unions because as ing social system it multiplied an autocratic and irresponsive power. Every dollar accumulated capital Is a unit of power. As the processes of modern production increased Ill the hands of a few in the control of such units, workers found that without or ganization for defense against this huge menace they were virtually the bound slaves of the system and must take what 1t ordained for them.
 That meant, as a matter of fact, a threatened degradation of a large part of the worlds population to a point where civilization itself would begin to perish. The mere labor union," theerfore, was the best thing that ever happened, even for Mummy himself
 | It IS exactly so in regard to the ac- tor Of course, he is an artist, giving 1 to the public immortal impersonations and clever creations of genius But he is also human being with bread to earn and shelter to get. For years the theatrical business had been un- dergoing the changes that have modi- 1 fled every other business under the sun. It was passing more and more into the control of consolidated inter ests that had no more human con II, II, II, lamp post and could have none. The result was that the economic state of the actor sank year by year until the last few years prior to 1919 world not alone intolerable to any person with the least sense of justice but threatening the very heart of the calling.
 Your actor artist, dear Mummy, was becoming helpless victim, tied to the chariot wheels of a huge, re1ent- less, impersonal machine
 Out of this condition, sprang the Actors Equity Association, against which Mummy chiefly complains.
 It provided the actor with a de fense, 1t gave him power with which to meet power, 1t rescued the profes- sion from the gulf of servitude in which a noble and useful art would have been submerged. For slaves cannot make good actors-fact on which all mummies may well ponder.
 If then any relics from by-gones geologic epochs dislike Equity, let them dislike the conditions that forced the creation of Equity. To blame a re- suit and disregard the cause is a fool lsh performance, even for one whose mind is still wrapped in the sere-c1oths of the ages.
 Also, suppose we have a little less of this snobbish talk about persons that, being artists, are above the lowlv bounds of labor union In these days every man that earns his living with his own toll, whether that be with brain, or hand, IS a workingman, and therefore in imminent need of the pro lection of his fellow workingmen.
 Even the mummies that now rattle their antique bones around the sacred precincts of newspaper offices will find that out before long. In fact they are close upon the discovery to- day If the present process of newspa- per consolidation is to go little further

ACTORS, ETHICS,
 EQUITY
By CHARLES EDWARD RUSSELL


 In view of the present situation in the theatrical world, which is likely to lead to strike of actors and actresses on June 1, the accompany ing article by MT. Russell IS very timely. The managers have taken a decided stand against the Actors Equity Association and the great ma jority seem determined to make an eff fort to break the equity association as the only power standing between them and the complete control of their actors which they formerly exer- cised. They want an immediate re- turn to the days when the manager imposed any conditions he saw fit, and the actor accepted them-or quit the stage. MT. Russe1ps article IS an eff fectual answer to the archaic views held by many managers.-The Editor. Every little while every man that watches things must be astonished to find cropping up in his country piece of rank snobbery or an outbreak of feuda1ism, for which there is no explanation except i'll what the scien lists call "reversion to type"
 That is to say, there are Americans that go around with the rest of the citizens of a democracy in the Twen-
