voring TO secure unemployed ex-serv-
ice men TO act as strikebreakers. Nine
big English liners are in ports here

reported that the crews Of twelve
liners are striking at burden. Several
ships at Rangoon, Burma are also held
up by a walk out Of East Indian sea-

McAndrew Would Have
Board Borrow to Put
His Schedule Thru

Superintendent William McAndrew
has again started his fight to get &C
ceptance of his new teachers salary
schedule by the board of trustees. He
suggested as measure to secure i'm.
mediate action on the bill that the
board issue tax anticipatory warrants.
In this he was supported by the secre-
tary Of the finance committee.
This move was opposed by the pres
ident of the board. Col. Edward B. Ell
licott who said he would not sanction
the adoption of the schedule until. the
board of education can raise the
S17000,0O0 needed to finance it. He
said he would wait and let the people
Of Chicago vote on school tax in
creases.
No attempt was made at this meet
ing to consider securing the money
that the school board is robbed OF
every year by the tax lodging big
property holders Of Chicago. 1890.
The Chicago Teachers Federation
claims that not only would there be
sufficient funds to meet the needs of
the McAndrew schedule but there
would be sufficient funds to make DOS.
sible real raise in teachers salaries
in which every teacher on the STAFF
would share.
l,sRaising the tax rates of the people
of Chicago without first correcting this
condition in our tax regulations is
only means Of forcing the small tax
payer to shoulder the responsibility
shirked by wealthy tax dodgers.

A Fat Chance for Recall
Dawson explained that the petition

Johnston would pass upon its legality
since a protest has already been lied
on that point. Appeal would then be
taken to the general council.

up Of the officers whose recall is
sought. win decide whether the petit
tien is legal or void. shoy will decide
it void Then the opposition, led by
J. F. Anderson, recent presidential
candidate against Johnsto1 VIII have

In reply to this statement anderson

legal requirement for recall cleo,

the number until the time limit ex

"The charges. are more specific than
we're made In any Of the FIVE recall
petitions that have been held valid in
the past, under this same clause OF
our constitution" he added. Il myself
was once the object of one of those
petitions. There has never been any
question that the purpose of that re-
call provision was to enable the mem.
bership to remove at any time any Of

no longer satisfied. The idea that an
officer cannot be recalled for acts com
mitted prior to a recent election is
one which Mr.. Dawson holds alone"

brand of unionism indeed. Such Incl
dents are not uncommon. in the United
States.
IIAyELOCK WILSON, the president
I 4 Of the British ssamens' Union
signed an agreement with the ship
owners which reduced the wages Of
the seamen by about FIVE dollars a
month or approximately one pound In
British money. Wilson dimes with the
lords of British industry at least once
week. He draws good salary Yet
he was quite surprised when the sea
men refused to accept the cut and
went on strike. Now the armed forces
OF the government are being used to
crush the strikers.
THE Communists are blamed for in
l. citing the British seamen to- re-
fuse the wage cut They are not ac-
cused Of asking them to accept it.
The capitalist press and the labor
takers blame all social disturbances
on the Communists. They do this in
an EFFORT to poison the minds of the
workers against the Communists.
But. when a worker sees the boss take
wallop at his meal ticket, he is not

ers to walk all over the meek and
humble Chinese. Preachers of Con

lied on the wisdom of turning the
other cheek when one was smitten,
Perhaps the Chinese linstened, said
nothing and abided their time. M
TT was a cruel libel on the Chinese
4 to say that they could not or would
not fight. The British in Shanghai will
no longer base their policy on this
belief. After the Chinese got thru
lighting the British and the Japanese,
the latter looked much the worse for
wear 1t is more than likely, that in

hold up China as an example Of the

COOPER REVUE
A BURLESQUJE
TREAT

The human dynamo, Jimmie
Cooper, is at the Gayety this
week with his celebrated study in
''black, white and brown" and
all Washington seemed to flock
to the Ninth street playhouse
last night to see this aggregation
Of talent in action. Cooper is a
great believer in speed and he
keeps his hirelings on the jump
all the time. Even the most
blase theatergoer can get kick
out Of this revue.
The white folks go on first
and do their stuff while Cooper
cracks the whip. The action re-
wolves around the producer, who
is arrested for bunking the public
with his show. There il q lot Of
fun in it, with someone now and
then stepping forward to .oblige
with a song or dance. Three
good.looking girls, Jean Vernon,
Midgie Gibbons and Betty Del
monte, have plenty of opportuni'
ties to display their talents, and
right merrily do they embrace
them.
Hall Willis took the house by
storm with his dancing. This
boy is destined to step out into
big time before long. "Chuck"
Wilson got many laugh with
his eccentricities, his parodies on
well.known poems going over

of tripe and hokum If Belasco
had not spread his magic wand
over it by employing the de-
vices he always manages to
levy upon. In this case the
devices are Judith Anderson and
Holbrook Blinn and a cast that
reeks with honesty to its last
peon; a collection Of four sets
that scale the record for elab-
crate atmosphere and the sort
Of direction for which Belasco,
himself, is noted.
I cannot find the right words
to picture the kind of acting
that Judith Anderson gives as.
Think of Lillian Foster, Dot
Hubbard and some others who
have made our season more than
bearable, group them together
and Miss Anderson is still head
and shoulders above that COM

The expressive BeIasco fingers
usually associated with that

Mr.. Belasco !. has given us
three new productions this sea
son; not one Of them distin-
guished for more originality
q than can be found on any hard
ware shop counter. Two Of
these plays are pronounced hits
in New York and the third,
"The Dove" which was pre-
sented at the National last
night, will Guido the combined
runs Of its mates if there is
anything to criteria- whatever
that exactly is.
Ladies' Of the Evening" was

graph on hi-jacking harlots.
"The Harem" was q teasing
tipple concerned with rehabili-
tating the connubial couch.
Very ancient.
1.-THE Dove" is a gaudy "mel-
ler, whose stiffened joints are
fabricated by priceless acting
and such settings as actually
elicit "Bravos."
There are no new ideas in
composition, Belasco knows. So
he sets about giving the best
expositions possible to the ma
terial in hand. And that seems
to be the reason he has had the
unprecedented luck Of batting
1000 per cent in season mo-
torious for its carnage.
"The Dove" is flambouyant
drama whose closets are jammed
with the skeletons of the the
ater's once-Iurid day. There is
that charming ella, Holbrook
Blinn in another Bad Man role;
a heroine who losses her body
like sponge, into the arena to
end the unequal fight between
hero and villain and there is the
hero with his back against a
mud wall, smiling into the
riflery of shooting squad.
BUT THANK HEAVEN AND

Which place is out Of the

"What a wonderful fellow /
am" signs Don Jose contentedly.
He's lost the grill; the hero's
elusive blood is not on his
hands, much to his regret. But
don't you see he's still the most
wonderful caballero in all Next
cali. And why?
Because the brave American
who knew how to die--if Called
upon by this insidious toast
master-was still alive by grace
of the cabellero's wonderful life
giving qualities. True, the only
time he impressed the thing he
loved was when he gave her the
life of her lover.

al address very well but we thought
he was little hard ON the pistol toter
when he said in substance that every
one who carried pistol was a cow
ard. Now, we have all known good
peaceable men to carry pistol simply
because they knew that some big bull
dozer was preparing to beat their ears
down simply because he possessed more
brute strength than the other fellow
and nothing but a little chunk of hot
lead would stop him. Now this writer
was SO years old Jan. 25, 1925. We
never owned, toted or fired a pistol i'm
our life. Never was drunk, not even
tight" Never was called before the
grand jury and was never a witness
in court. The last fight we had was
90 years ago this spring and that was
with an old gander and we got good
licking. Now if any one can beat this
record and stick to the truth let him
cut his big dog loose.
