SIGMANITES TRY
TO FORCE PIECE
WORK IN CHICAGO
Make Deal with Bosses
to Wreck Union

CHICAGO, Oct. 3.-From author
itative sources it has been learned
that conference has been held be-
tween the cloak bosses and agents
of the right wing of the Information
al Ladies Garment Workers Union
at which the Sigmanites promised to
allow the cloak shops to run on a
piece work basis the coming season.
Promises to allow the bosses to dis
charge workers whenever they see fit
were also made by the Sigmanites, it
is stated.
When workers in the market were
informed of the selling out Of the
union to the bosses, they were I'm
usually bitter Many workers, how
ever, do not take the latest scab herd
ing act on the part of the right wing
ers seriously, stating that nothing
else could be expected from people
Of their calibre.
Bosses Are Warned.
The Joint Board, Cloak and Dress
makers Union will give the Sigman
crew a decisive answer. Many shop
workers are warning their bosses not
to take Sigman and his camp follow
ers too seriously because the rank
and file workers will not give in to
the whims of the strikebreaking
clique in charge of the international
The workers in most emphatic terms
have told the bosses they will not
accept piece work
The Sigman agents are becoming
more desperate. Ruper and Baylas,
two right wing gangsters visited the
Palmer shop, one of the largest
cloak shops in the city, and offered
the boss concessions if he would dis
charge the militant workers and in
their place put right wing scabs.
The boss knew with what kind of
people he was dealing and showed the
right wingers the door
Discouraged with their rebuff at
the Palmer shop, the right wingers
decided on new tactics. A large gang
of thugs and strong arm men in
vaded the Polikoff shop and tried to
terrify the workers to go with them
to the scab office of the right wing
on Van Buren, street. The workers,
however, were not in mood for
nonsence so they drove the gangsters
out of the shop. Later they went to
the Joint Board office and held
shop meeting at which they voted
their confidence in the militant adj
ministration of the Joint Board
Saul Flegg, acknowledgements
ordinary, of the right wing, is not
only the chief scab of the Sigman
crew, but is also a volunteer flunkey
of the police department. He has a
key for the police boxes, which he
uses whenever he wants to frame up
some progressive minded workers.
There is a rumor that he also has a
police badge.

Vitaphone atMetropolitan

TRANDALL'S Metropolitan Theater
announces that it has definitely
contracted for one of the most note
worthy special attractions in the his
tory Of motion picture entertainment,
in the vitaphone. perfected after
years Of research and effort.
This device, which provides voice
and sound with the pictured image,
will be installed at the Metropolitan
for q period of years for exclusive
presentation, at a. cost which is said
to mount far into the thousands of
dollars.
The vitaphone is a device whereby
the sound is perfectly synchronized
with the action on the screen. 1t is
operated by specially installed
motor which controls both the run
ming time Of the pictured subject and
the playing of the musical accompani-
ment.
Many of the most noted artists in
the theater in this country have been
enlisted among the vitaphone stars
and these will be audible as well as
visible exclusively at Crandall's
Metropolitan upon the completion of
the installation Of this mechanical
marvel.
Among those who have already con-
tributed their services to the vita
phone are Marian Talley, Anna Case.
the New York Symphony Orchestra,
Warnings Pennsylvanians. AL Jolson,
Martinelli of the Metropolitan Grand
Opera, Reinald Werrenrath and

COLUMBIA-"The. Winning of
Barbara Worth"

One of the great screen triumphs
will be given it's first Washington
showing at Loew's Columbia Theater
this week, beginning this afternoon.
1t is Samuel Goldwyn's classic, "The
Winning Of Barbara Worth" from
the novel by Harold Bell Wright,
with Ronald Colman and Wilma
Banky in the chief roles.
One of the greatest of modern f1c-
ton hits. Samuel Goldwyn paid
more than $125,0O0 for the screen
rights alone.
Henry King, who produced "Tol'able
David" "Romola,' THE White Sis
ter and Stella Dallas" is respon-
sible for the direction, and the cast
also, including Paul McAllister and
Clyde Cook.
1t concerns Barbara Worth, daugh-
ter of desert capitalist who planned
TO make the desert into a vast gar
den and who, in interesting add
tional capital, brought in an East
erner and his adopted son who saw
the project only as means to
profit. Their commercialism not only
mandates the whole valley from an
RECONSTRUCTED dam. but brings on a
bitter war between the settlers in
which the favor and beauty of the
girl play a prominent part. The pic
ture is marked throughout by dra-
matte episodes involving thousands of
characters.

Old Song--New Story

" WHITE WINGS they never
grow weary. and / can prove
it, too" says Maurice Murphy. a
young hopeful of the movie industry.
Banks Winter the composer of
White Wings Is now playing the
postmaster in The Flag Maker d.
rected by Commodore ]. Stuart
Blackton, and it marks his golden an.
niversary on the stage and screen,
together with the introduction of the
third-dimension camera.
He Is 20 and 1 am IL years old,
but in our friendship we seem the
same age. He has seen so many pro-
gressions that have become q. part of
the history of this big motion picture
industry and he tells me that in
few years this camera that George K.
Spoor and Commodore Blackton have
had the courage to introduce will be as
common as the automobile today.
His enthusiasm over the success of
this picture in which we play our
small parts proves that in all his 20
years his white wings have never
grown weary, and the enthusiasm with
which our fellow-workers received his
song when he sang it for us on the
set also proves his public has never
wearied of his White Wings.
"In sealing our friendship as
troupers l have extracted a promise
from Mr.. Winter. 1t Is that he will
help me celebrate my golden ami
versary in pictures"

Their tired feet may walk on carpets

ONE of the most ambitious "loca-
