can see that even at that early
time, Comrade Ruthenberg was I'M
consciously rebelling against the re-
formism and passivism that was be-
ginning to rot the Socialist Party.
Little did l dream at that time, how
fully would be realized the prediction
of the German comrades on the
Cleveland City Central Committee,
that C. f. Ruthenberg would some
day be leader.
From the time that / first met
COmrade Ruthenberg at that street
corner meeting nearly twenty years
ago, ] have closely followed his ac-
tivities as a revolutionist. From
year to year, thru imprisonments
and struggles l have seen him grow
politically, and develop his powers of
leadership.
l feel sure that had not death
taken him prematurely from the rev.
dictionary movement, he would have
continued to grow and develop, to
give it more firm and far-sighted
leadership. Comrade Ruthenberg, in
my opinion, embodied the best ira
ditions of the American revolution
airy movement.
He Was Modest.
Personally, l can say of Comrade
Ruthenberg, that while he generally
gave the impression of being digni-
fled and unsociable, yet he was ex-
ceedingly democratic, modest and
considerate. l have never known
him to slight or hurt anybody. His
qualities as a men, endeared him to
all comrades who knew him person
ally. At all times, his individuality
was submerged in the work to which
he devoted his life.
Up to the very last moments of
his consciousness, when the portion
tits poisoning was seeping into his
heart, sitting its beat, his thoughts
were of the party and the tasks be-
fore it. His final words; 'Let us
Fight on, epitomize the indomit-
able revolutionary spirit that was

~ DRAMA IN
Revamping an Old Warhorse
Justice" Long MINDED Galsworthy Play, Pro
duced at Irving Place Theatre
(Reviewed by A. B. MAGIL.)


At the Irving Place Jewish Art
Theatre Jacob Ben-A is rafting
the bones of GaIsworthy's Justice
freshly exhumed and dressed in stiff,
creaky Yiddish.
l emerged from the theatre feel
ing as if my head was full of cob
webs. 1t is several years since I
last saw or read a Galsworthy play.
l wasn't prepared for such a smell
of camphor.
l don't know why Jacob Ben-Ami
has trotted out this fusey, spawned
old war-horse, suppose he feels it
will have some attraction for the
theatre-goer who is interested in
problems" For here is a problem
as thick as fog, as tough and dry
as bareback. And it squats all over
the stage.
At a certain point in his career
John Galsworthy, the bourgeois
British liberal with a sociological bee
in his bonnet, discovered that there
is someelnes monkey in
the elaborate machinery of Justice.

certain social EMBELLISHMENTS, hon

law is precise and pedantic. It con-

future. memorable Justice.
Look what happens, says Gals
worthy. Terriblel
1t is so easy to poke fun at John
Galsworthy, yet so cruel perhaps.
The fellow is so desperately in earn
est, so humorlessly honest. Sitting
through performance of Justice"
is like listening to an Oswald CARR
son Willard editorial for several
hours.
Galsworthy is a good craftsman, a
dramatic artisan of the first order.
Given certain crude, commonplace
materials, he will labor over it, saw
off a piece here, nail down a piece
there, and put together a play that
will stand up for a couple Of hours
and glitter with all its 1OO-watt cleo
trio lights.
That's about all. l suppose it ac-
counts for Galsworthy's exaggerated
reputation as a dramatist. His plays
are always good theatre" though
poor drama. But l can account for

of Dickens minus the humor, fresh
ness and ingenuity of the great Vic
torian. 1t is polite, it is grave, it is
stifly eloquent. There is nothing in
it to offend the most hardboiled
tory. Galsworthy merely criticises a
defect in piece of machinery. He
never questions the nature or uses of
that machinery or the foundations
upon which it rests.

PILGRIMS STARTED
IMMIGRATION BAN
First Restriction Passed 800
Years Ago, Labor Off
Cial Claims.

The immigration problem is 800
years old in the United States, w. w,
Husband. Assistant Secretary of La
Dor. stated in discussing the modern
problems of that department at a
meeting of the Round Table Club at
the University Club yesterday after
noon.
The first immigration law was
passed by the Massachusetts law
/ makers 16 years after the landing of
! he Pilgrims, Mr.. Husband stated, and
other States soon followed suit. Since
| hon the immigration problems have
! grown until at present they are multi
/ tudinous.
Under TIE present restriction sys.
| tenn many foreign countries are over
subscribed for 10 or Is years to come,
| he asserted, while the smallest list Will
aot be disposed of in less than a year,
| The immigration normal figure has
dropped from more than 100000 in
1914 to 1914, 600 at present, he stated.
In 1914 Italy sent 2S5, 600 to the United
states, while $500 are permitted to
enter from that country now annu-
ally.

jured by the present law, he stated,
as no shortage of labor has resulted.
Industry leaders have learned that
hey can do without immigrant labor,
and manufacturers no longer oppose
the restriction system, he continued.
The present law has forced on Ameri-
can industry stability Of employ
ment, he concluded.
w. w. Bride, consul of Rumania in
Washington, expressed surprise at the
ignorance of the American people in
regard to the size and population of
Rumania. That country is as large
as New York, Pennsylvania, New Jer-
sey and Maryland combined, he
stated, and has a population equal to
hose States plus that of West Vir-
ginia. He also related the early his
tory of Rumania, and spoke of the
economic resources of that country.

fire in a miners home. Those muir
dered were Mrs. James Williams, IS,
