Furripr Leaders
Defy the Bosses
At Huge Meetings

Five thousand furriers packed
Cooper Union and Webster Hall last
night and cheered their leaders as
they declared that the employers
would be forced by the strength of
the workers to abandon their at
tempts to make an alliance with the
officers of the American Federation
Of Labor and the International.
DOn't-Fear A. +. Of l..
GAS in the time of the strike, the
workers defeated the combination Of
the bosses and the International Of
ficials, so they will again defeat the
combined forces of the right wing,
and the American Federation of
Labor and the employers and the
gangsters, who are attempting to
smash the union and enforce their
control" declared Ben Gold, manager
of the Joint Board. He warned the
employers against attempting to
force the workers to register in a
"fake union that the workers do not
recognize"
Gold received tremendous ovation
when he appeared on the platform
of Cooper Union, for the last time
before he goes to trial on Monday
with other union leaders on framed
up charges in the famous "Mineola
Case"
Cannot Break Union, Says Gold.
Referring to his coming trial, he
declared that it was the hope of the
right wing that the Joint Board would
disintegrate if it could succeed in
placing Gold in Jail. "The union can
not be broken by such tactics, either,
he said. eff / have to go to Jail, the
management of the Joint Board will
be turned over to management COM
nittee of three leaders, S. Gross,
chairman of the business agents, S.

Workers inundated.
The attempts of the international
to intimidate the furriers into regis
tering by surrounding them with
gangsters were related by Fannie
Warshawsky and other speakers. She
told of an incident which occurred or
Thursday, when the workers of the
B. Gelleris shop, and the Wecksteir
shop, both at 1893 Seventh Ave-, found
themselves hemmed in by a Gordon
of guerillas and members of the In

As the strike continues, and the

officials last fall, are correct. This
group demanded especially: No wage

STAGE LOVE AND
SOME OF IT'S
HANDICAPS

Many actresses prefer to play
upstage, but pretty Martha Lorber,
leading woman for Holbrook Blinn
in Molnar's comedy, THE Plays
the Thing" which will be seen at
the Shubert .Belasco October "a,
has to play off stage, which Is
quite another matter.
Miss Lorber, who is the only
woman in the company, does not
APPEAR at all in the first act Of
the play. She is just voice be-
hind the scene. She finds it EN-
barassing, like broadcasting into
a callous micEophone or acting for
a gum-chewing camera man and a
hypercritical director in the
movies. Miss Lorber does not see
her audience at all for the entire
act unless it be that her feminine
curiosity impels her to squint
through a peephole.
Behind the wall of the scene
visible TO the audience is sup
posed to be the bedroom of Hona,
the DEdNtlIui pIlIud uOnIld, III
other words, Miss Lorber in char.
acter. In reality all there is
there Is pair of chairs, one for
Miss Lorber and the other for
the male member of the cast
who makes violent and suggestive
love to her. There they sit,
nonchalantly passing passionate
speeches back and forth.
Molnar's lines lead the audience
to believe that a fevered love
scene is being enacted in that
boudoir out of their sight but not
their hearing. while in reality the
actors just sit there as at a re-
hearsal.
Miss Lorber now believes that
it is more difficult to act off
stage than on. The intimacy of
beautiful stage settings is miss
ing. There is great gulf be-
tween the players and their
audiences and It is difficult to
give an accurate impression to
those out front of what is sup
posed to be happening.
Miss Lorber and Charles Mill
ward might really enact the love
scene, but back stage and lack
ing the lights and audience 1t still
seems unrealistic.
