PRAISE FOR THE STANDARD

Kind words for the Standard Oil Company have been few and far be- tween in the columns of American newspapers in the past Justly or unjustly, that great organization has bene generally looked upon as one of sinister import.
 It is interesting, therefore, to note the almost unanimous commenda- ton by influential newspapers of the Standards recent adoption of the eight-hour day for its oil fl d workers in the mid-cOntinent field. Until this step was taken by the Standard, the twelvehour day had been universal in the oil fields, where the work of drilling goes on day and night. Under the new plan, three shifts must be employed instead of two.
 In adjusting the wages to meet the change in hours, workers who for merly received SIP a day for twelve hours now receive $10 for eight hours; those receiving different wage being subject to a correspond ing adjustment The plan was put into effect with the approval of the workmen.
 Following closely the abandonment of the twelve-hour day in the steel in- dustry, this innovation confirms the

Alaska is known as Americas last frontier, but to the present traveller it does not hold the hardship that it did to the traveller of the Gold rush days. Fine ships, hotels and the most modern railroads make ones trip to Alaska a pleasant memory. While the scenery on the trip from Juneau to Seward alone surpasses anything Europe has to offer, no one can say they have seen Alaska who has failed to take the trip to Fair banks. Game in abundance, fish of many kinds, scenery, sunsets, Au- rora Borealis, anything and every thing to attract and hold your inter est, Any one that has seen Alas ka can truly say they have seen the finest thing this world has to offer.

Firetraps and Profits

An old apartment house the south side of this
city took fire and after the smoke cleared away, it
learned that six persons, men, women and
children had lost their lives in the flames.
An investigation has been instituted to establish
responsibility for the disaster This is the usual
thing to do, but as usual nothing will happen,
except the making of a few threats by the poll
ticians and much publicity for the fraternity
Nothing will be done about it, because the
politicians are defenders of the capitalist system
which is responsible for last Saturday mornings
tragedy. Landlords powerful factors in society
under capitalism and their interests must be safe
guarded. Let the public howl for a few days They
will forget all about it shortly and landlords must
be saved from the necessity of laying out their
good money in order to make their iretraps safe
for human habitation
We had hundreds and thousands of such "ac
cidents" in the past. And each accident was fol
lowed by an investigation And each investigation
was followed by silence until the next accident
Mayor Dever, States Attorney Grove and all
the other public officials elected to Office by the
workers of this city are hand in glove with the
landlords and the capitalists. They will do moth
ing They will not even enforce the laws already
in existence. That would in some measure protect
human life in tenements and apartment houses.
No sincere voice will be raised in the city council
to advocate steps that will compel landlords to
make their death traps safe for workers and their
families. There is not single representative of
the workers in the city council.
The organized workers Of Chicago should make
an investigation Of their own into the housing
situation in this city and they should also take
steps in the adermanic elections which will be
held here on February "a, to send representatives
to the city council who will defend their interests
and expose the profit mongering capitalists who do
not even stop short at murder thru criminal neg
ligence to make profits.

Called off,!

According to communication issued by Bert
NJ jewell head of the railway department of the
American Federation of Labor, the railroad shop
mems strike which began in the summer of 1922 is
now called off by order of the executive council of
the A. f. of L.
This decision of the executive council is the most
outstanding action taken by that body with regard
to the shipments strike since that protracted
struggle began.
There never was a labor struggle in this country
that had such an excellent prospect Of victory as
had the shopmen's strike, yet never was there
such pitiable fiasco and entirely because of the
treachery of the A. F. of L. leadership particularly
of William H. Johnston, Jewell and the Gompers
gang
Onehalf of the membership of the railroad shop
crafts remained at work while the other half struck
The maintenance-of-way men, despite an over
whelming vote to strike, were not permitted to
down tools by their officers Two weeks before the
strike started, William H. Johnston had confer
ence with Daniel Willard of the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad At that conference the initial steps
were taken to sell out the members Of the Ma
chinists' Union to the B. and o. The infamous B.
and o. plan of class collaboration was a result.
Faced by such treachery, what could the men ex-
pect but defeat? They were licked from the start
Treachery and defeats will be the lot of the
railroad workers until the lessons they might have
learned from their defeats are burned into their
hearts. The old craft system of organization must
give way to industrial unionism. The old corrupt
and alphabetically minded leaders must go. And
the workers must see beyond the immediate goal
of higher wage and better working conditions to
the goal of a workers government and freedom
from capitalist rule, poverty, unemployment
strikes, ockouts and all the other evils that flow
from that system.

Professional Charity

Twenty-six million dollars is raised annually in
Chicago for charity, reports the Chicago Council
of Social Agencies. That is half million a week.
The council thinks that isn't enough and is initial
ing movement to start Community chest" for
Chicago.
The council doesn't report how many fat jobs
being held down in the hundreds of ''welfare''
organizations in the city. Certainly a comfortable
portion of the half million week never reaches
the NEEDY" Nor does the council take the trouble
to explain that demands for more charity contrbu-
lions are nothing less than damning finger point
ing to the rottenness of Chicago conditions. ssJs
The local labor movement is up in arms at the
suggestion of community chest These centralized
campaigns have been conducted in many other
cities of the country and in not single instance
has the labor movement been given place. They
always turn out as a monopoly for professional
philanthropic agencies. And anyhow, what bust
ness has labor in philanthropic work?
Scott Meanings generalization that philanthropy
involves control of social policy in education and
elsewhere becomes important in the spending of
$26OOO0OO0O year in a single industrial center.

Laundry Workers Strike

Every driver, to a man, in the Brownsville, New

Laundry has gone out on strike. There are thirty
men driving in this laundry and the men, all mem

They are dissatisfied to such an extent with their
conditions there that they struck and will form
ulate their demands which will be published in the

laundry by the drivers.
But the Clovelen laundry didn't like the strike
and felt it would hurt their business SO much to
have it become known their drivers were dissatis-
fed that they Immediately changed the name of
the company to Premier Laundry, so as to befuddle
the women in the neighborhood, who would know
of the strike.
The strike will ask women sending out their
wash to watch for the union button on the drivers
who call for articles they want cleaned.

Anna Pavlowa and
Her Company at the
Auditorium Theatre
By ALFRED '. FRANkENsTEIN


BY ALFRED v. FRANkENsTElN
Nine ballets. among which were two
revivals, we're presented by Anna Paw
Iowa and her company at the Auditori-
UNI theater. last Thursday night. The
most important Of the revivals was
the first act on the program, the bal
let "Coppelia" by Leo Delibes.
"Coppelia" is the first big ballet of
Delibes, who later came to be known
as the postmaster and authority on
that form of work. The story of
"Coppelia" concerns a toy maker in
Galician village who has created a
doll so life-like that one OF the boys
in the town attempts Irritation with
it, as 1t sits in the window of the toy
makers house. This precipiates a
quarrel between him and his girl,
which quarrel is patched up by reveal
ing what manner of creature the doll
is.
AS with most Of the classic ballet,
there is no attempt at realistic pres
enation of this story. Galician peas
ant girls do not wear the sort OF bal
let costume that looks like a great
powder puff.
Any score by Delibes Is continu-
GUS wonder of tune making. The man
had a fund Of melody that never ran
out, like the salt mill of the Sinbad
story. And so popular has the music
Of the ballots Sylvia" and Malta
and the opera "Eakme" become that
no movie cue sheet is complete with
out an extract from one OF them.
"CoppeIia" was followed by a ballet
setting of nine Chopin works, orches-
trated by Glazunov. Here was real
classical dancing at its best. 1t was
done by large company dressed in
white. in setting of severe cypress
trees, in blue light. And to add to
the beauty Of the effect was the work
Of Anna Pavlowa herself.
Among the short works at the end
of the program was the revival of
"Coquetterie de Columbine" by Rich
ard Drigo. These short ballots, or
advertisements as they are called in
ballet lingo, ranged from the pastoral
"Primavera" of Erik Meyer-Helmund
at the beginning, thru the exploding
colors Of a clown affair ser 10 the
Russian dance In Chaykovski's "Nut-
cracker" suite, down to a wonderful
bit Of Poe-iike horror, called Lies
ondines', set to music by Mario Gaia
lani.
Pavlowa's orchestra is far from
GOOD. One can forgive, from consid
erations of economic necessity. its in.
adequate size, but one cannot forgive
the exceedingly bad tone Of some OF
the players, notably the first flute and
clarinet.
Theodore Sitter, the veteran con-
ductor Of the company, does wonders
with so small band.
