had al opportunity to confer with
the bureau of insular affairs In

Senator Jones, of Washington, the
republican whip, yesterday urged
upon the president the converting OF
the Senate in special session a month

waged against the seating Of Sena-
tors Smith. Of Illinois. and Ware, OF
Pennsylvania. both republicans.
Senator Jones felt that Mr.. Cool
ide was sympathetic to his appeal
as did Senator .Smoot, republican, OF
Utah, who urged special session OF
congress to meet in November.
However. the president wants to dis
cuss this question with Senator Cur
tbs. OF Kansas. the republican lead

made him eligible for parole and the
attorney general approved a recon-
mendation for such a step made by
the parole board.
After the approval, the depart
ment of justice telegraphed Warden

tons which were understood to Or
der McCray's release probably by

Chicago, Aug 31.-(P-America's
second largest city remained virtu
ally without movies today with
theater owners. and union operators
deadlocked in their dispute over two
of the operators:
No settlement was in sight as the
shutdown of the theaters moved in
to the third day, with s75,o00,0o0 in
theater property involved and $4,000
movie employees idle. With $50
theaters closed, the daily loss OF
revenue is estimated as $225,000.
Only one ow-priced movie open in
the loop and scattered few neigh
borhood houses kept the lockout
from being 100 per cent throughout
the metropolitan area. 1t was point
ed out, however. that even these
would be forced to close If film ex-

The alleged reason that he appeared
before an Inspector with the smell of
liquor on his breath.
The bricklayer's daughter Madeline
comes home from work and admits
that she stole purse belonging to the
daughter of the man for whom her
father was working when he was in
jured. The admission turned the
father against her and almost immedi-
ately afterwards the lady who lost the
purse arrives with a detective and the
next scene opens on a lineup at the
police station. Here the brutality of
the police is shown effectively. A
brutalized lieutenant bawls at the vic
TINS, dragged in to show themselves
to the masked detectives and when
they answered question they were
abused and threatened with punish
ment for answering. 1t is a realistic
scene as anybody who ever had the
pleasure CD of finding himself in a
similar situation knows only too well.
The bricklayer's daughter is sent up
to Auburn for two years.
When she returns her father refuses
to take her in because there never was
thief in the Conway family so she
leaves the house in the company of
the detective who was made her par
ole officer, thru the influence of Mr..
Crane, father of the lady whose purse
she took, also her fathers employer
at the time he got hurt.
Of course the detective has designs
on the girls honor and even if he
were not the kind of dog who takes
job as stoolpigeon his personal ap-
pearance would freeze any tender
emotion that might be expected to
bloom in the girls heart.
After assisting Mr.. Cranes daugh-
ter to get divorce from her husband
Madeline finally winds up in Cathedral
Towers, on the seth floor of a sky
scraper as the mistress of Mr.. Crane
She reaches those heights thru the aid
OF Alma Lavelle, played by Mabel
Acker to perfection.
After considerable conversation d1r-
ing which cynical remarks are made
on things in general including virtue
the play comes to an end after Mr.
Cranes son falls in love with his
fathers mistress, which quite natur.
ally aroused the indignation of the
father
The play might be an effective at
tack on capitalist society with all its
works and pomps but it seems to me
that it is wrecked by bad acting and
the introduction of chap melodrama.

Who Backs Hearst?

Back of Hearst are the most pow
erful sections of Americas imperial
list Interchangeable repre-
sented by the House of Morgan and
Dwight Morrow with its holdings of
S500,000,000 Of Mexican government,
bonds, oil barons, metal mining capt
talists and landowners.
1t is possible and even probable
that Wall Street does not give cate
gorical approval to all of the state
ments and insinuations made by
Hearst and that it does not contem-
plate intervention NOW.
But there cannot be the slightest
doubt that Wall Street welcomes this
campaign as a blow at the Gales gov
eminent and will be only too glad
to use it if possible to force more
concessions from Mexico.
Wall Street Welcomes Attack.
Finally, it is certain that Wall
Streets Latin-American program has
advanced to the point where it is de-
liberately aggressive in the political
sense. The Interpretation Of the Mon
roe Doctrine which makes American
government the dictator of internal
Latin American relations. and which
corresponds with its role as a world
imperialist power, is sufficient proof
Of this.

For the American labor movement
and the whole American working
class these developments are of the
most vital significance.
