Great Social Drama,
"R. u. r." to Be Staged
By Defense Council

"R. U. r., the powerful social
drama by Karel Capek, is coming to
Chicago again. This time, however,
it will be given in its proper setting.
Instead of being presented as just
another ordinary theatrical venture,
with the ring of its appeal smothered
in the indolent atmosphere of the
bourgeois playhouse, ar. U. R." will
be put on in huge labor hall before
masses of working men and women.
With the two-fold motive of slim
ulating proletarian culture and rails
ing some of the funds needed for the
Michigan defense, the Labor Defense
Council recently secured from the
Theater Guild of New York, the right
to produce "R. U. R." in Chicago.
The Theater Guild showed fine will
ingness to cooperate and even
agreed to give up it's usual royalties,
in view Of the purpose for which the
play is to be given. Several days
ago, the original manuscript arrived
at the Labor Defense Council Office,
together with stage-directions and
actors parts. Present plans con-
template the giving Of three perform
ances in various parts of the city,
during the month Of April.
The production as planned will be
complete in every detail. Every at
tempt will be made to give just such
performance as the author would
wish. Arrangements have been made
with the Studio Players, 1926 N.
Clark St., who will direct the produc-
ton and furnish the leading players.
Rehearsals are to begin at once.
"R. U. r., was first presented in
Prague, Checho- Slovakia, some years
ago, where it created an immediate
sensation. Critics were unanimous in
recognizing the dramatic power of
the play as we'll as its marked origin
atty Of treatment, but the monarchist
press declared that "the effect on the
workers might be bad" Unfortu-
nateiy the workers have never had
favorable opportunity of seeing it, as
1t has never been presented under
working class auspices lat least not
so far as we know
The Theater Guild, an organization
which in the brief period Of its exist
ence has made many noteworthy con-
tributions TO the American stage,
brought "R. U. r." to this country
somewhat over year ago. The play
ran for many months in New York
and was looked upon as both dram
attic and financial success. The bour-
geois theater-going gentry did not
appreciate the grim significance Of
"R. u. r.; as a matter OF fact, they
did not understand the drama at all.
Perhaps that Is why it was such a
success. The play was brought to
Chicago last winter, repeating the
success Of its New York engagement.

NO OIL ON HIM
HIRAM WILL TELL
DAKOTA FARMERS
Forgets His Assent to
Doheny Steal

FARGO, N. D.-Hiram johnson
is coming to the Dakotas to tell
the busted wheat farmers that every
one is an oil crook but himself.
Says his North Dakota manager,
Usher L. Burdick, Fargo attor-
ney:
"And now with Teapot Dome
spreading the oil smear over our
great statesmen, North Dakota is
read to join in the fight to scotch
the invisible government
Burdick's words fall cold on bust
ed wheat farmers who remind each
other that the invisible government
Of oil in California was SO invisible
that Edward L. Doheny took over
the 300,000,000 barrel naval oil re-
serve, No. l, of California without
Bull Moose Hiram making any pro-
test.
The California knight will heal
the ills of the farmers, says Mr..
Burdick, who then proceeds to give
narrowing picture of these ills:
I'm Mckenzie county, west Of the
Missouri river" says Burdick,
mortgages have been foreclosed
this year on 80 per cent of all
FARMS" and lot more of the same
tenor.
Farmer sentiment, however, is
largely centering around the more
definite program of the left wing
ers who demand a fve-year mora
forum on all mortgage debts of
working farmers as an alternative
to the rhetorical progressivism of
Hiram johnson, which has no def
mite proposals for freeing them
from the bankers grip.

Nopeciai 70 Inc DAILY WORKER
NEW YORK.-Silence will rule at
Broad and Main this afternoon
while Wall street gamblers do honor
to the war president whose body is
being lowered into the vault in
Bethlehem Chapel near the Potomac.
The New York Stock Exchange
will shut down on the first unofi-
cial holiday since the death of Hard

stilled.
The "Street" will be represented

with Baruch will include Cyrus Nc
Cormick, the harvester king, and
Cleveland H. Dodge, the copper null
ti-millionaire.
Genuine regret is felt for the
passing of Wilson in the inner A.
nancial circles, for, tho his first
nomination came when Bryan de-
manded a standard bearer who
would oppose the rule that Nor
gan, Belmont and Ryan were main
tanning over the Democratic Party,
the war presidents later career
won the approval Of speculative f.
nance, particularly in the open
handed letting of war contracts
which enabled many pure and sim

WASHINGTON. = No crocodile

BY order of the Berlin government

who broke his promises to the
German people by abandoning the

overthrowing the kaiser.
"The betraver of Germany" Is the
title given Wilson in German news
papers, according to cables from
Berlin.
The Germans resolute defiance of
hvpocritical conventions occasioned
dissatisfaction on the part of those
who expected a unanimous appear

pass vote of condemnation but
the dispatches do not indicate that
the mayor is troubled by their

The feeling Of many Americans

ATLENIN MEETING
Newark Police Seize
Communist Speakers

NEWARK, N. i'm high handed
fashion Newark police officials broke
up an open air meeting in Lenin's
honor and arrested Ludwig Lore,
Alexander Trachtenberg and Com
rade Epstein. The speakers we're
later released on $50 bail each, but
the Workers Party does not regard
the incident as closed and will test
the right of the police to stop work
ers' meetings.
Suits for damages aggregating
$4,000 are now pending in the Essex
County Circuit Court against Police
Captain Ebert for similar action Jan.
IL, when he broke up a meeting at
which William 2. Foster and Bishop
Paul Jones were to speak. That
case is being handled by the American
Civil Liberties Union.
Praise of Lenin Anglers Police
The Lenin meeting, just inter-
rupted, was held under the auspices
! Of the Workers Party. The crowd
was assembled outside Of the Labor
Lyceum, in consequence of the re-
fusal Of authorities to grant permits
sion for a meeting inside. Lore had
just concluded a eulogy of the pro-
letarian regime in Russia, where the
workers were behind the government,
as was the case in no other country,
when police detective interrupted
and said the meeting must stop be-
cause no permit had been given for
it.
Insisting on the right of free
speech, Lore continued, pointing out
that the police ukase represented the
same kind of reactionary powers that
Lenin had fought.
Haul Down Speakers
Captain Seabold came down on the
detectives S. 0. S. and Lore was
again ordered to stop speaking and
again refused. The police took him
from the stand and thrust him into
the patrol wagon.
Trachtenberg began to speak, was
likewise arrested. Epstein took the
speakers stand, but was hauled down
before he could begin.
The arbitrary action of the police
achieved a result they had not ex-
pected; it brought greater publicity
for the Lenin Memorial meeting and
the Workers Party and has stirred up
thousands of additional sympathiz.
ers.
