DAVID WAKEFIELD AS
SHYLOCK AT GRAND

David Warfield's initial appearance
in Aberdeen as Shylock in ''The Mer-
chant of Venice" will be made at the
Grand, Monday, February II, under
the direction of David Belasco, as
usual In the cast will be found the
lovely Mary Servoss, as Portia, and
more than forty players, many of
whom are favorably known to local
audiences, for Mr.. Belaseo has provid-
cd a support wholly commensurate
with the Importance of his famous
star and a production which has been
pronounced by critics and vast audi
ences in New York as the most beau
tiful and elaborate revival ever made
of Shakespearean play.
The newer distinction which Mr..
Warfield gained by his human and
convincing portrayal of Shylack last
season has been greatly enhanced
since his resumption of the role, for
his Interpretation is said not only to
discover the infinite range of his
genius but to place him among the
greatest Shakespearean actors of all
times. Perhaps that is no more than
should be, for with unflagging ASST
duty he has studied Shylock more
than twenty years.
The wealth of beauty of scene and
speech which distinguishes ''The Mer-
chant of Venice" among Shakespeare's
comedies has been fully developed by
Mr.. Belasco, who having always be-
fore him the fact that the most in
sistent demand of an audience is alb
sorbing entertainment, has put upon
the stage a play that provides en-
chantment for all classes of play
goers.
The latest gloom destroyer and
novelty attraction, bringing Up
Father On Broadway" will be at the
Grand theater, matinee and night,
Sunday, February II. From all ac-
counts the Offering looms to the fore
as one of the best seen hereabouts in
seasons, based on the famous cartoons
of George McManus. The play, which
is in two acts and five scenes and
was written by John P. Mulgrew, in
PRODUCES all the beloved characters
who figure in a series of side-splitting
adventures and situations. The sup
porting cast consists of forty capable
artists.

SOCIALIST SAYS
FRANCE WILLING
TO GREET RUSSIA
De Jure Recognition Is
Favored by Unions
(Rosta News.)

MOSCOW, Aug. 5.-Mrs. Jouhaux,
the prominent French Trades Union
leader and delegate Of the French
Socialist Party to the Congress Of the
Amsterdam International of Trade
Unions, stated that he was in favor
of de jure recognition OF the Union of
Soviet Socialist Republics. He fur
Their stated that this demand was put
forth by the French Trade Unions and
that the actual political position in
France was such as to make possible
negotiations on this matter without
any complications.
The only question that might offer
some difficulty is that of the old Tsar-
ist debts to small French bond and OBJ
ligation-holders, but even that ques-
ton could be fairly easily solved If
the Soviet showed any willingness to
meet halfway the wishes of these
holders
Il can assure you with confidence"
declared Mr.. Jouhaux, that Mr.. Her
riot is certainly in favor Of de jure
recognition of the USSR. At the
same time. the French General Union
Of Trade Unions also favors the i'm
mediate resumption of normal rela-
tions with the Soviet Republics. AS
for various economic and financial
outstanding questions between the
two countries, they can always be
taken up and discussed at some fu-
ture time"
Referring to the question Of coop
Grafton between the Trade Union
movements of both countries, Mr.. Jou-
haux stated that he was in favor Of
admitting the Russian Trade Unions
into the Amsterdam International, as
it was incongruous to prolong the sep
arate existence of two parallel Trade
Union Internationals. "If the Russian
Trade-Unionists come forth with such
a demand, they will not find the way
closed to Them" concluded the French
leader.

Geneva Labor Bureau
Secretary Would Like
To See Soviet Russia
(Rosta News.l

MOSCOW, (by mail.)- reply to a
question by press representatives at
Vienna, where he attended the Con-
gress of the Amsterdam International
Of Trade Unions, as to his views on
the situation of the workers and on
the social laws in the Union Of Soviet
Republics, Mr.. Albert Thomas, Gen.
eral Secretary of the international
Bureau of Labor, attached to the
League of Nations, stated that this
was a question which interested him
very much and that he considered ne
cessary to establish direct contact be-
tween the Bureau of Labor and the
Soviet Trades Union organizations
If possible, he said, the best way
would be to establish there a system
of correspondents just in the same
way as in the United States of
America.
Mr.. Thomas added that, in his view,
the best way of establishing effective
contact would be his own trip to the
Soviet Union and expressed the hope
that 1t would be possible for him per-
sonally to go there some time.

OLD SOCIALIST
JOINS WORKERS
AID IN GERMANY
Ledebour Dissents from
SociaI-Democrat Stand

In the following letter to the Inter
rationale Arbeiter Hilfs Komite. Com
rade Ledebour takes sides against the
decisions of the Social Democratic
Party. Ledebour is one Of the Oldest
Socialist leaders Of Germany:
June 22nd, 1924.
To the Central Committee Of the In.
ternational Workers Aid q. A. H.
Berlin, Germany.
Dear Comrades:
AS have consented to your propo-
sal to become a member of the Central
Committee of the 1. A. H., find it me-
cessary to give you my position to-
ward the l. A. H. This seems to be
necessary so much the more as at the
convention of the United Social De
mocrat Parties the propaganda which
was carried on for some time against
the International Workers Aid has
eliminated in a decision which de-
clares that participation and member
ship in the l. A. H. is incompatible
with membership in the S. d. P.
The attacks made before by the same
people have at an earlier stage given
me occasion to express myself for the
1. A. H. when in the City Hall few
months ago a protest meeting was
called at which Comrade Munzenberg
reported.
The conviction that I expressed at
that time is still my conviction. The
I. A. H. has made it its task to pro-
tect the suffering proletariat Of all
countries against drowning in COM
plete misery. This is an exceptionally
praiseworthy task which should be
supported by the comrades Of all tend
encies and there are comradesJ and
members of all tendencies represented
in the Executive bodies.
1t is absurd-this claim Of the S. D.
P. that the I. A. H. could not be non
partisan because the Communists took
the initiative in forming it. If that
were our point Of view, there would
never be any chance for common act
ion because it is in the nature OF
things that someone must always start
1t shows an exceptionally petty way
of thinking if one does not participate
just because another party or another
tendency has taken the first step. Just
because desire that every opportunity
for common action of the diverse tend
encies should be exploited in the inter-
est of the whole proletarian movement,
therefore / consider it my duty, in the
face of the unealled for attacks of the
S. D. P. convention to support the l.
A II. so much more vigorously.
l want to let you know that I am
fully satisfied If you reprint the above
lines.
With friendly greetings,

julius Barnes Branded

BY LAWRENCE TODD.
Especial to the Daily Worker.)

WASHINGTON, Aug. 8. = julius
Barnes, president Of the Chamber Of
Commerce of the United States, chief
oracle of business morality-after
Judge Gary and James NJ Emery
wherever men of substance" gather
around an expensive dinner board, is
in trouble.
1t isn't because he is the last faith
full follower of Herbert Hoover, once
prominent in American politics and
price-fxing, nor because he is respons-
ible for the mysterious conditions
under which the million dollar Amer
ican-plan" headquarters of the Cham
Der, opposite the White House, is being
erected by an all-union force of build
ing mechanics.
Barnes is embarrassed by this billet
doux from the Federal Trade Com
mission:
THE Commission has issued a cita-
tion directed to Barnes-Ames Company,
New York City, and subsidiary, the
Barnes-Irwin Co., Of Philadelphia,
SAROlbCAo VI WHEEL. lnc COHlpldlul
alleges that the respondents have ship
ped to foreign customers wheat of an
inferior quality than that specified,
such wheat containing quantities Of
chaff, straw, weed seeds, soil, sand,
and other foreign substances.
According to the citation, the res
pondents' alleged acts have the capaci-
ty and tendency to injure and damage
generally the reputation and business
of persons Of the United States COM
peting with respondents in export
trade, and to bring into disrepute in
foreign countries the respondents COM
petitors.
Under the law. whenever the Com
mission has reason to believe that an
unfair method of competition has been
used against the public interest, it
must issue its complaint. However,
the question whether or not such
method has been used is not passed
upon by the Commission until after
respondents have had 80 days in which
to answer and the issue has been tried
out"

Workers Organize a
Group to Study lido,
Worldwide Language

PITTSBURGH, Pa, August 5.-A
number of workers, who are taking
the international language question
seriously, gathered at the Interna-
tional Lyceum last Sunday night,
where Comrade e. J. Horacek, vice
Chairman of the Workers lido Feder-
alton and secretary. of the local G. c.
C. Of w. p. lectured on the subject
In his usual clear and logical way
the speaker described the evolution
Of the international language move
ment. He pointed out the enormous
difficulties and waste of time at the
international congresses, where so
many nationalities are trying to make
themselves understood by using three
or four national languages. He short
ly described the logical construction
OF lido and also related how the
c. l. appointed Study Commission
which recommended to base the prop.
uganda for an international language
upon the study of lido. There are
two groups of people, which show an
increasing interest in this question
and which will bring the final solu-
ton Of the problem about, the radio
fans and the Communists. The
speaker showed that the working
class is one that mostly need an
auxiliary language and consequently
are most interested in the problem.
After the lecture a local group was
organized with over dozen mem.
bers. A class was also arranged for
that will be held every Monday night
at z O'Clock at the international
Lyceum. Those interested in joining
the class or the group can get further
information from the local chairman.

terly $1.25 a share on it's com
mon stock but also the extra
DOC a share inaugurated out of
the generous profits of last
year.
The giant corporations profit for
the second quarter of 1924 amounted
to $41,s31, O39 in spite of the steady
decline in production to less than
two-thirds of capacity. Total profits
for the six months ended June 30
were $91,456,4S4. Gary has enough
profits to pay the full years regular
dividends and the extras in addition.
Soft for Baker.
Gary's privileged class won't feel
the depression in their pocketbooks
There's George F. Baker. for instance
In March this ulti-millionaire
owned $3.50 shares of U. S. Steel
His little check for the second quar-
ter must have been about $102, $3.50.
He is probably optimistic too.
But how about the steel workers
whose average quarterly earnings
figure at about 1870 of the share OF
this single stakeholder? Reports to
the department of labor show that
approximately one-sixth of those en-
ployed in March are on the streets
today. This means from 10000 to
10000 unemployed in the industry.
Those still at work have had their
average weekly pay reduced from
s31.1O in March and $3O.59 during the
first quarter to s26.S5.
% Per Cent Less in Wages.
The working population dependent
upon the steel industry for support
is getting in total weekly wage pay
ments % per cent less than during
the first quarter.
The corporation excess profits do
not support these workers during
involuntary idleness. They belong to
property to keep the owners from suf-
fering any loss in spending power
even during protracted depression.
The monopolistic control exercised
by this corporation enables it to main
tain prices which win net profit OF
$12,000,O00 a month with operations
cut to less than 2-3 capacity. What
would the owners say to a rule which
would give workers full years earn
ings even tho employed only two.
thirds of the time?

WORKERS ON
KNIT GOODS
FORM UNION
Strong Philadelphia
Local Organized
BY L. r. LA 5RIE.
Especial to the Daily Worker.)

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Aug. 5.-A
Philadelphia Local Of the Knit Goods
Workers Union was organized at an
enthusiastic and well attended meet
ing held at the Amalgamated Center,
431 Pine St. The meeting was con-
Quoted under the craftsmanship of
Brother VIM. BorIand, secretary of
the Amalgamated Lace Operatives of
America. Brothers VIM. Vance Of the
Tapestry Carpet Workers Union Of
this city and L. F. La Brie, secretary
treasurer of the Federated Textile
Unions of America were the principal
speakers. Anna Litvakoff of the
Ladies Garment Workers Union adj
dressed the meeting in Yiddish.
The speakers ably pointed out that
the only form of organization that is
capable of successfully fighting the
bosses is the Industrial form which
takes in all workers engaged in all
the various branches of the industry.
Numerous instances were brought to
light which clearly showed how craft
unionism helps to divide the workers
instead of uniting them.
The Executive Committee was
elected consisting of one representa-
tive from each shop. Frank Goodison
was elected secretary. 1t is planned
to hold series of meetings in the
near future in various sections Of the
city where the Knit Goods shops are
located.
A letter of greetings from the Knit
Goods Union OF New York was read
and received with spirited applaudes.

abuse Of letting girls out without no
tice, sometimes far from home, with
out return fare, has been made impos-
sible. Likewise, if a member chooses
to leave the chorus after proper no.
tice, it is necessary for her to pay
only her own fare back, and not also
the successors fare on. If the man
agement wishes to fire a member of
the chorus, two weeks notice is re-
CURED and fare paid both for the out
going and the oncoming member.

an amount equal to the dues
they would pay if they we're
members of Equity in good
standing. All other managers
are guaranteeing a 100 per cent
Equity chorus.
This union has accomplished chang
es Of far-reaching effect in the last
six years, for it's chorus men and
girls. In this profession, where youth
and beauty are ever at a premium,
members come, have their little vogue,
and go again, so that within to 10
years there may be an entire shift
of personnel. Comparatively few of
the younger members of the present
day chorus are veterans of the bitter
fight of 1919.
Paying Her Bills.
In the old days before the 1919
strike, the chorus girl had to pay for
her shoes and stockings. One girl
tells Of rehearsing for 10 weeks,
without pay as was then common) {,
and having a $50 shoe bill presented
to her the opening night out of town
To pay this bill IS week was de-
Quoted from her salary of $25. But
the manager decided to change cos
tunes for one number before the
New York opening so the shoes for
that number had to be discarded and
others purchased. The week before
the opening, the cast was laid off
without salary, new shoes and stock
ings had to be bought at six week
intervals during the entire New York
season, and when the show finally
closed, our gay young chorus girl was
in debt $55 to the management, altho
30 week had been taken out Of her
salary all season.
Since the Chorus Equity turned the
tables ON the managers by making
them pay for shoes and stockings,
one or two sets have a friendly way
Of lasting thru the season.
Pay For Rehearsal.
There used to be a little trick in
the game, OF rehearsing from 10 to 16
weeks, without pay, just on the
chance of being kept on for the show.
But if, after or 8 weeks rehearsal
without pay, a girl did not suit, or the
manager took notion, for person
al reasons, to dismiss her, he was
within his rights in doing SO. The
Chorus Equity has scotched that by
insisting that all rehearsals over 4
weeks be paid for and the manag-
ers who had called the heavens to
witness that a show could not go on
without at least s weeks rehearsal,
contrive very well now with A weeks.
Protection on the Road.
Before the strike, managers jumped
chorus people all over the country,
the chorus paid for their own sleep
ers. The managers pay now, and
forthwith it has become possible for
the chorus to travel in daylight
hours. Since august, 1919, the old
