Cost a Lot of Money.

Berry broke that strike tho he ad.
mitted it cost the union S12S,0OO to
do the job Where did he get. the
money?NThe International union. treas
rug was bankrupt in September, 1918.
1t was $119,O00 in debt. Did the New
York publishers supply the cash? This
is a reasonable assumption consider
ing the circumstances and the high
favor in which Berry stands with the
New York publishers today.
The New York pressmen have never
recovered from the blows struck
against them by Berry. They win
never recover until they rid the union
OF Berry and Berryism- There is a
growing belief among the membership
that with q working aRraemant he.
tween the New York and Chicago
locals, the two cities could clean I'D on
the "strikebreaker." Outside Of those
two cities the union is weak. Even IN
St Paul, Minnesota, Berry pays the
salary Of the local official of the union
Naturally those who are depending on
the "Majah" for their living do the
"Ma1ah's" dirty work.
Another example Of Berrys treach-
cry to the workers was his handling
OF the Web Pressmen's disput with
the bosses in ST.. Paul in 1920. He sent
Joe Byrnes from Joliet Ill, up there
with instructions to sign up the press
men If 1t was for only ten dollars a
week.
How Berry Holds Office.
How does Berry retain his hold On
the international union2 Il there is
so much opposition to his regime. why
cannot the members elect somebody
else? To those not acquainted with
the way reactionary officials pull
their stuff in the trade unions, this is
puzzle. But trade unionists know
how the Job is done In New York
City, for instance, there are so per
cent Of the entire membership of the
International Ladies' Garment Work
ers' Union in three locals. The other
ten locals have only 40 per cent. But
the 40 per cent outvotes the 60 per
cent. Each local is entitled to five
delegates to the Joint Board. In this
way so per cent Of the membership
are given only 10 delegates while 40
per cent have so delegates. This is
done so that the reactionaries who
now run the union may retain hold of
it, regardless of what the workers
want
1t is much the same with "Majah"
Berry's union. For instance, the
$500 union members of the two
Chicago locals may be outvoted by
twenty "sky blue" locals with only
one hundred members. Some of Ber-
rvs fake locals have not held a meet
ing In five years. Some OF them have
only one and two members. When he
needs a new local to retain hts hold
the union, with show of legality,
lie sends one OF his Statesmen" out
and they line up six or seven nom
descripts regardless OF whether they
are race track touts, circus bankers
or pressmen.
The members Of the |. p. p. and A.
U. in the large cities where the union
really exists are about sick and tired
Of this confidence game. They do not
intend to allow Berry to become the
John ID. Rockefeller Of Tennessee at
their expense much longer.

Hanpden as Othello
Draws Large Crowds

Walter Hampden's splendid produc-
ton of "Othello," in which he gives
the most stirring performance of
Shakespeare Moor within memory of
present day theatre goers, is now at
tracing great throngs to the Shubert
Theatre. There will be no midweek
matinees, the only afternoon perform.
ances being given on Saturdays. This
is because the physical and emotional
stress of playing the role is SO great
that Mr.. Hampden feels that he can
| not do Justice to the character if
called upon to act it more frequently
Mr.. Hampden's portrayal of Othello
has confirmed him in his place as the
foremost exponent of the classic
drama in America. AS j. Rankin
Towse, the veteran critic of the New
York Evening Post, says: "Othello"
definitely establishes him as Amer
ica's greatest actor. Not since the
time of Edwin Booth has anyone ap-
preached him as a portrayer of the
great Shakespearean roles. Mr..
Hampden's Othello following so close
ly upon his brilliant "Cyrano de Ber-
gerac,' calls particular attention to
his remarkable versatility, for the
roles could not be more different in
character and in their demands upon
the actor.
Baliol Holloway's Iago has been ac-
corded scarcely less approval than
Mr.. Hampden's Othello 1t is suave
subtle and dominant presentation of
the arch william. Mabel Moore and
Jennette Sherwin, alternating in the
role of Desdemona, both beautifully
render this sympathetic part. Mary
Hall gives a splendid performance rs
Emilia. The scenic production by
Claude Bragdon is rich in color and
imposing in line, being a worthy COM
panion to Mr.. Bragdon's production of
"Cyrano." The performance begins at
s o'clock sharp.

Another Big Snow

There was another heavy snow

o'clock the sleet was the fastest,
heaviest known here in years. Half
an hour later there was furious snow
again, with a driving wind from the
northwest which lasted until 5
o'clock. The skies did not clear, and
the streets were again left in a de-
plorable condition, simply impass-
able. A Macy automobile delivery
was in Palisade about $3.50, and the
driver said he could never get back
to New York. The temperature hung
around 25 degrees all day. By z
o'clock Tuesday night the stars were
out. Wednesday morning found
things decidedly messy, the roads
everywhere being snow-bound, not

They were, indeed, tough. There was
a fall of eight or ten inches.

Anniversary Week
Enjoyed by Patrons

The heavy snowfall the early part
of this week did not keep many folks
away from the GrantILee Theatre at
Palisade Junction, where several big
double bills are being presented this
week. Each night the large audito-
rum was filled with an appreciative
audience, who helped to celebrate the
first birthday of this playhouse
The new fall of snow made it neces-
sary for the theatre officials to again
part with portion of the profits in
order to have the big Brewster plow
clear the roadway SO the many autos
of the patrons could be parked in
safety.
On Monday night the diamond ring

Palisade
Program Meeting

The last meeting of the Woman S
Club of Palisade was held at the
home of Mrs. Mayhem Lake; Mrs. F.
G. Schaefer, assistant. hostess.
This was a program meeting, but a
short business meeting preceded the
presentation of the subject for the
day. Mrs. l.. Fernandez was elected
member of the club, and Mrs.
George E. Clark presented her report
relative to the sale of Christmas
Seals for 1924 The amount received
by her to date is about S305, as
against $2S7 in 1928 The quota for
Palisade is $3.50. Good work, Mrs.
Clark. This community takes off its
hat to you.
Mr.. Mayhem Lake entertained the
'ed 4, t,-,';. ~ -'a' 6sa 'reaitaileetuYe on the
subject of Instrumentation and Or
chestral Color This is rather a
high-sounding subject and at first
thought would lead one to conclude
that it would be technical and far
above the heads of the laity. Not so
however, as presented by Mr.. Lake.
He seated himself comfortably on the
piano bench, and with his audience
grouped around him described in de-
tail many of the instruments used in
a we'll balanced orchestra; told of
their function, their peculiarities,
their foibles and temperaments. In
fact. it would seem that musical in
struments are a lot like human be-
ings-not always dependable, often
affected by the weather and other un-
favorable conditions, and at times,
just as cranky and obstinate without
any apparent cause. Nevertheless,
each instrument, from the treacher-
Gus little oboe and the aspiring pic
colo down to the blatant, selfasser-
tive trombone and the conceited, bel
lowing cello, has it's peculiar niche
and all, big or little, are necessary
adjuncts to the correct interpreta-
tion of the composers color scheme.
Mr.. Lake said that a composer of
music always thinks and feels color
with the melody. He demonstrated
how vapid and uninteresting is the
melody without the harmony. To the
composer of music harmony has the
same relation as does the blending
of colors to an artist. The conception
is greatly marred by improper blend
ing, whether it be of instruments or
OF paints.
Mr.. Lake deplored the poor quality
of music in the public schools and
asserted that if schools are to re-
ceive the benefit of better music it
will have to be brought about through
the efforts of the women's clubs of
the country.
AS fitting climax to his interest
ing and instructive recital lecture,
Mr.. Lake, accompanied by his two
sons, regaled his audience with a
number of violin selections.
The next meeting of the club will
be held at the home of Mrs. Adele
Oman. Members will please note
this change in the seasons program.
