Some recognition should be
paid George C. Tyler for rel
cruiting this royal encourage to
the idea that one-night stands
are still in existence. At one
time it was considered in stage
circles the penultimate of re-
moteness to observe that You
would do q thing "when John
Drew goes back to the lantern
circuit" Uncle John has done
that very thing along with La
Whiffen, Wilt Lackaye and the
others.

full week stands between WASH
ington and that point. These
are Philadelphia. Chicago, San
Francisco and Los Angeles. The
remaining cities on the schedule,
including Baltimore, Pittsburgh,

three, two and one-day presen-
tations. Incidentally, if you
missed "Trelawny'' here, there is
still the opportunity to see it

A well-wisher who signs a
communication, "Well wisher,"
informs this department that
Estelle Aliens players worked
under an unusual handicap in
the third playlet, "The Drums
of Dude" offered Tuesday night.
The script of the piece, it
seems, didn't call for a voice
off-stage, but the fire depart
ment inserted one to the effect
that the playlet would have to
be run off in three minutes or
salutary penalties would follow.
Attached to the voice was a
watch and a visage that BODIED
i'll for disobedience.
Just how the running time Of
the piece was shortened on this
sudden notice, is a secret locked
IN the hearts of the actors alone.
Our guess is that they agreed
to utter only every third line
and that is why some of the
auditors weren't quite sure
whether they had lost what wits
they brought to the theater with
them or were witnessing some
thing in the original Arabic.
The fireman's edict was a
great dampener of ardor; also
it was puzzling at first. Some
body guessed he was just a
plain three-minute egg, any
way; another suspected he had
at one time been run over by a
little theater movement; again,
it was hazarded that he was
probably late for an appointment
with a conflagration.
The truth of the matter, writes
"Well-wisher" "a pseudonym,
probably, was that lighted
candle required in the sketch
violated the safety regulations
of the District.
Thus. the reason for the per-
picking reverberstion of 1.-THE

Truth About Workers Needed.

Truth About Workers Needed.
Daily Worker Publishing Co.,
Dear Comrades:
For one who can contribute only a
few dollars a year, / don't know of
any better plan than The DAILY
WORKER. Put me down on the Sus-
tanning Fund for S1.00 per month. Am
sending $500 this time.
More power to you on the Sacco-
Vanzetti campaign. They must not
die.
The series of articles by Mitchell on
organizing the subway workers is
the kind of stuff we need more of.
Just such points as showing exactly
how the workers are divided are
greatly lacking. Most class-conscious
leaders will tell us that the workers
were divided in such and such strike.
The ordinary class-conscious worker
will know that after strike is over.
But when they learn just how they
are divided, workers can nip these tao
tics before they fully begin.
Good stuff. More Of it.
Fraternally,

The Young Worker
Goes to Sea

Probably about fifty percent of
the American youth that goes out
to sea is allured by some mystic sense
of romance and a glamor of adven-
ture, which is the bunk that is thrown
out over the sea industry to the
young workers. The actual condi-
tions which the young workers en-
counter on the job are far from the
conditions depicted by the stories of
romance and adventure so commonly
peddled to them by cheap current
magazine literature and war depart
ment publicity. The averave worker
finds that he has to work twelve
hours a day under strenuous condi-
tons to which he is not adapted by
training. He finds that he is ex-
plotted and made to do the dirtiest
and hardest tasks and that on the
average job plus the bad grub which
he gets he also averages but mean
forty five to fifty dollars a month
at the most. The work Is a constant
grind of four hours on and four off
for the most part.
The various companies that take
the young workers into the sea en-
ploy many times use them for any
thing that the more skilled and union
members will not undertake. This
is very well illustrated in the case
of the Standard Oil Co. The Stand
ard Oil Co. has its shipping office
located at Pearl st. and from this
office they have been sending mostly
young workers who desire the sea
experience or are seeking steady
work at this occupation, down to the
Charles Pratt, coastwise tanker.
They are sent down to the Pratt with
the understanding that the ship is to
make trip to San Pedro and that all
in all it is an easy trip to make.
The conditions which they find
upon arrival are the following. The
ship is located in Robins Dry dock in
the Erie Basin. The focale or living
quarters of the crew have been en-
tirely ripped to pieces due to the fact
that the place was positively rotten
and reeking with filth. The men are
told to put their clothing in the car
penter shed, and this is none too
clean. After this they are told to
get busy chipping rust with power
full air hammers and they are set on
painting the ship. When asked how
long this is to last before the ship
will leave from the drydock for San
Pedro the answer is not to ask too
many questions. If you do they fire
you. They are pretty sure Of getting
other young fellows on this work at
this time of the year.
This work ordinarily pays the aver
age skilled dry dock workers six
dollars a day. But the Standard Oil
takes advantage of the youth and
pays them only two dollars, a day
saving great deal Of money this
way at the expense of the exploited
workers.

The bosses, who have control Of
sports for their own ends, also HAYS
the help of the ladies. Workers
Sports Clubs include but few organi-
cations of the fair sex.
The Fifth National Athletic Con-
ference of American College Women
at Cornell University reports a
record of more than 200 delegates
present from colleges and schools
thruout the country. Reports include
participation in all sports with the
exception of football and the gentle
art of squashing noses.
The boss gets them later. In large
industrial plants these girls serve to
teach underpaid girls to participate
in sports instead of the game of
getting better wages. In Chicago the
Westinghouse Electric has a gir's
