"What Price oIory."-A Review.
BY SYLVAN A. PoLLAcK.
Especial to the DAILY WORKER)

NEW YORK-Of the new shows
now playing in New York the biggest
success is What Price Glory" at the
Plymouth Theatre, by Maxwell Ander-
son and Lawrence Stallings, the lat
ter who was member of the U. S.
Marines during the late war in which
he lost leg fighting for democracy.
For a truthful portrayal of the A.
E. F., What Price Glory" is undoubt.
edly the best that the American
theatre has ever given us on that sub
ject. The mask is torn off and we
see how the bunk of making the
world safe for democracy actually
works. We live with a companyof U. S.
marines during one of their engage
ments with the Germans, and war in
all it's reality is brought home to us,
with the patriotic veneer missing. We
see how the soldiers actually felt about
the generals who were directing them
from Paris, also what they think of
war, before going into battle and also
during the fighting.
Plain words are used thruout the
play and the marines around whom
the story is written talk like regular
people, not like stage and story book
heroes of the past, but just like the
ordinary man would under the cir
cumstances.
Around the war activities there has
been written a very realistic love
story which adds much to its flavor.
All in all, it is play that all class
conscious workers will enjoy. Even
the middle class audience seemed to
enjoy it, altho according to the news.

WEST CHESTER, Pa, Sept. 23.-
A farmer-labor picnic was held al
Bonnie Brae Park near Spring City,
Pa, on Aug. 81, 1924. Leo M: Harkins
of New Jersey, executive secretary of
local Philadelphia of the socialist
party, was invited to speak on the
subject "Why LaFollette Should Be
Elected" but when informed that one
of the speakers would speak in favor
of the Workers Party ticket, Harkins
refused to speak. Darlington Hopes,
executive secretary of the socialist
party Of Pa, was also asked to speak
and given an opportunity to sell lit
erature, take subscriptions for the
state paper, and make announcements,
but did not attend the meeting;
Hopes did not even'reply to the invi-
tations sent him.
The meeting was held with the idea
of presenting both the socialist and
the Communist ticket to the voters,
so that the workers and farmers could
decide for themselves which ticket to
support.
Wicks Speaks.
Comrade H. M. Wicks, of New York
City, and a candidate for congress on
the Workers Party ticket spoke in ia,
vor of the Workers Party ticket and
made wonderful speech on the his
toric origin, principles, management
and control of all the parties. He held
the audience spell-bound while ad-
dressing them, and he probably never
had a more appreciative audience
since there was not more than six peo-
pie present who had ever heard a So
cialist or any kind of a radical speech.
Comrade Charlotte F. Jones, who is
a candidate for the state legislature
on the socialist party ticket, but who
declared her intention of voting for
Foster and Gitlow, spoke on conditions
existing in Pennsylvania and Chester
County.
There were about 200 people pres
ent, which was a good showing in
view of the fact that there has never
been any socialist or radical meetings
held in Chester County, except a few
socialist street meetings held in West
Chester.

Red Port on the
Pacific Makes Best
Record Since War
(Ry Rosie News Agency


vLADIvOSTOK, Aug. IS. (By Mail. }
An official statement puts at over
"a million pools the cargo turnover of
the Vladivostok port, of which over 80
millions were exported, during the
first half of the current year. 1920
foreign ships have visited the port
during this period.
Such turnover Vladivostok has
not experienced since the world war.
AS for the small figures of foreign inn
ports, this is accounted for by the fact
that goods have been brought to
Vladivostok from Russia proper in an
increased quantity and have partly
ousted foreign competition.

tiOnS, according to figures COM

fishers of the Wall Street Jour
nal.
Over Eleven Percent.
These figures show that in spite of
the severe depression which began in
April, these II corporations present
ed their common stockholders with a
return averaging $40 per cent on the
par value of their holdings. At this
rate the years return would be in
excess of IL per cent.
The corporations chosen for COM
parison are in no sense the especially
profitable ones. In fact the 19 rail
roads in the list include such car
riers as the Boston & Maine which
has operated at loss since it was
wrecked by ]. P. Morgan and his New
Haven directors. The profits of these
roads average far below those of the
railroads of the country as a whole
The II companies, according to Dow,
Jones & Co. we're chosen indiscrimin-
ately and comprise all the important
companies for which they have COM
parative records.
Reduction Slight.
The reduction in profits as compar-
ed with the first six months of 1928
is very slight considering that the
first half of 1923 was period Of pros

$50 per cent on their common stock

PATERSON, N. j., Sept. %.
With strike clouds looming
thruout the entire eastern tex
tile field Paterson is the focus
of attention as the scene of the
first conflict.
The latest developments here
include the arrest of six strik-
ers for patrolling the sidewalks
in front of the Expert Silk COM
pany in spite of an injunction
against picketing issued the
same day by Vice-Chancellor
Lewis.
Hands Out the Bull.
The vice-chancellor insists to news
papermen that he is not opposed to
peaceful picketing but the wording
of his restraining order is aimed at
that very practice. Members of the
Associated Silk Workers union are
forbidden to walk in front of the fac
tory and to ask strikebreakers to
leave the employment of the firm.
The injunction forbids strikers to ap-
peal to strikebreakers either on the
streets or at their homes.
Legal opposition is being offered
thru the cooperation OF the Ameri-
can Civil Liberties Union. The union
is also conducting vigorous local
agitation for constitutional rights
here, Robert Dunn, director of the
union, and Charles Erwin, having aid
ed in the fight The injunction battle
is not limited to the Expert Silk
company. Five other manufacturers
had already obtained temporary re-
straining orders and more are seek
ing the same assistance from the vice
chancellor. Hearings for permanent
injunctions are coming up in few
days.
Five Dollars Each.
While the injunctions were being
issued by Lewis eleven pickets were
being fined five dollars each by Re-
corder Force. These pickets are the
first to be tried out of 107 seized in
mass arrests earlier in the strike and
out on bail since then.
The Associated Silk Workers, how
ever, seem confident of completing
the victory begun by the winning over

mits that some of the larger manu-
