FOR WHOLE PROGRAM
The chief thing about the voice
Of Frances Aida is its quality Of
putting human ideas into the minds
Of her audience echoing in their
hearts the feeling of her songs. No
matter what she sings, there is that
lndefineable something about all
her tones that speak the universal,
human language of true music
which is understood by every kind
and condition Of people.
The facts that she Is q New
zealander by birth and the wife OF
Giulio Gatti Casazza are incidently
interesting hut have nothing to do
with her ability to please audiences
with her singing, save as the latter
fact gives her more opportunities
to sing.

Special to The Daily Worker,

NEW YORK, March 25-Thousands
of striking furriers turned out in a
huge picketing demonstration. The
line OF strikers wound itself around
the entire fur district. This marks
the beginning of the sixth week of
the strike. The bosses who were
looking out of the windows of the
empty shops were in despair. The
entire police force looked about to
arrest and beat the strikers, but the
workers did not give them a chance.
They marched quietly around the
shops in lines of twos as ordered by
the judge of the court,
One of the bystanders who was
watching the picketing demonstration
of strikers was President o. Schacht-
man OF the International, who disap-
peared suddenly from New York when
the strike was declared and handed
over the presidency to l. Winnick,
who together with the Daily Forward,
conspired to break the militant strike
Of the furriers.
Winnick and some more adjutants
of the yellow sheet held secret nego-
tiations with the agents Of the boss
es. When the workers saw Schacht-
man this morning watching them
march they showed a strong dissatis-
faction with the action of the inter-
national president in handing over
the presidency to the servants OF the
bosses. Some of the strikers Kissed
the president as they passed him.
Many manufacturers have already
settled with the union. Among them
there are great many who have bro
ken away from the Fur Manufacturers
Association. Dissatisfaction among
the manufacturers is growing. They
are opposed to the leadership Of
President Samuels Of the Fur Manu-
facturers Association. The policies
Of Samuels will ruin many OF them.
Despite the threats of the leaders
OF the association TO cut off the cred
Its OF any manufacturer who dares to
break away from the association and
settle with the union as many have
done, one large and influential manu-
facturer, who was a member OF the
board OF directors of the association
broke away and settled with the UNI
ion. Another very large manufactur.
er made an attempt to break away
and settle with the strikers. He was
Immediately approached by Samuels
and threatened to be put out of BUSH
ness II he signed with the union.
The workers are determined to win
the strike and they all see that vic
tory Is very near for the shops are
empty and no scabs are to be gotten.
The few who dared TO scab were
quickly convinced and they are now
in thefolda Of the strikers.

DOGS EXPENSES $4,000 PER
Special Trip Made for Mutt to
Buy Him Paris Clothes

NEW YORK, March 29-The cheap,
low-down, ordinary human being
known as the worker will get some
consolation out of the fact that the
relatively most pampered and petted
passenger among the arrivals on the
Olympic today was a black and tan
terrier named Francie, the favorite OF
six NUTS owned by Mr.. and Mrs. Sid
ney Williams of is East 5Sth street.
These generous individuals purposely
made trip to Paris to get Francie
fitted out with a new wardrobe at the
cost Of $500. Mrs. Williams said it
costs $4,000 a year for her NUTS ex-
penses.

PARIS, March 2s-The Communist
fraction in the French chamber of
deputies has been increased from 26
to 20 by the election Of the two Com
munist candidates, Fourier and Du

The flashing Of the election returns
in many Of the theaters caused great
CONSERVATION and horror to the hour
geoisie. In number of other thea
tiers where election returns we're an
nounced fascists and the Communists
clashed. The fascists in their anger
began TO club and beat workers who
expressed satisfaction with the out
come of the elections.
Attempts were made by the fascists
to break into the headquarters of the
Communist Party and the homes OF
Communist workers. These proved
frliitless as the Communist workers
resisted the attempts Of the fascists
and gave them their just due
In the Place de POpera over 10000
watched the election returns come in.
In this brightly lit up place the fas-
cists seeing their candidates badly
beaten by working class candidates
started to slug and maui the workers
cheering the Communist candidates.
The workers were in no mood to be
mauled and dubbed by the fascists.
nationalists and moderates and they
expressed their righteous Indignation
by giving those who participated in
the assaults on the workers one of
the best beatings they ever had.
When the police authorities saw
that the fascists and the anti-working
class forces were being worsted in
the fight, mounted municipal guards
trotted into this vast theater with
drawn sabers waiting for the bugler
to give the signal to charge on work
ers defending themselves against fas-
cist attacks. The Communist work
men finally restored order in the thea
ter and several fascists were forcibly
elected.
Bourgeoisie that were parading
around the cafes and cabarets cut
their evening festivities short as all
Joy in life had left them when they
learned that two working class lead
ers had been elected Some OF the
cabarets did such little business that
they were forced to close down.
Tho the Paris bourgeoisie was ter
ror.stricken, the workers on the other
hand were jubilant over their victory.
In the election previous to this,
which had been a three-cornered fight.
the working class vote had been split
between the Communists and the So
cialists. In this election which was
fight between the fascists and the
Communists many Of the left-wing So
cialist workers joined the Commu-
nists at the polls. Many of the right
wing socialists supported the fascist
candidates in an attempt TO defeat
the Communists.
