hands of anti-union employers. Cor
poration pensions today are a club
over the heads of the workers. Ep-

corporation pensions as part of the

Of government pensions, the Ameri-
can Association indicates, announcing
it's plans for a legislative drive in

+ ton. Pensions cost less than poor
houses.
ut is conservatively estimated"
the announcement states, "that at
least 100000 aged persons in the
United States are dependent upon
relatives or upon public or private
charitable relief for their support. ..
Over three years experience with the
Montana old age pension system
shows that the total per capita ex-
penditure on pensions represents but
twenty-seven cents per year. The
support of an aims house inmate in
that state costs from three to five
times that of a pensioner"
Recent studies show that the pop
ulous countries still without any

Straight from the Street
Sex" Is Racy Native Play Till Moral Youth"
Enters
REVIEWED BY A. B. magic


T HAVE been wondering why "Sex"
4 was raided. 1t appears to me to be
an utterly harmless play, possessing
certain salient merits, that becomes
depressingly moral in the last two
acts. But somebody whispered a tale
to me. And the tale is this: After
running for almost year, the box Of
flee receipts of "Sex" had begun to
droop and languish. But along came
the Goth century crusaders, with that
virtuous Black Knight of journalism,
the New York World, whooping itAup
Justify in the rear, and all fiercely
determined to rid our fair city of the
infidels. I don't know what effect
this has had on the box office of
"Sex." But / shouldn't be surprised
if packed houses of irate citizens are
being daily scandalized by the goings-
OH of the unregenerate Miss West and
her troupe.
For about one act and half "Sex"
is vivid and sinewy contribution to
the American drama. Of course, the
critics of the bourgeois press took
one look at the title, the portly lead
ing actress and the low-brow audi
ence and fled to stage public indigna-
ton meetings in their columns the
next day. Yet to me the dialogue of
that first act and a half is as real
and fresh and grimly cynical as any
thing have seen on the stage. The
language of so many desperately ina
tive" Broadway plays sounds as if it
had been alphabetically concocted by
an ex-professor of philology. But the
slang of "Sex" is a jargon sprung
wild as weeds out of the American
streets, blatant and tender and humor-
Gus and pathetic. The slang Of "Sex"
is a hard cool fist, and I sat in the
bleachers cheering each blow.
Mae West plays the part of tough
and billowy lady who has lived quad
lily and managed to keep her virtue
agreeably flexible. There is loudness
in her playing and mannerism and
coarseness, but it has speed and
exuberance that is alien to the tenu-
Gus intellectualizations of the pre-
cieuse actor.
The play contains the silhouettes of
certain rich, flambOyant American
types, the shyster detective, the suave
and artful crook and the elegant,
wilted, pitifully starved lady from the
hinterlands who comes to the big city
to have her last gaudy fling before
retiring to her knitting and her grand
children. But most of this remains
so much unmined ore.
For in the second act "Sex" sue
cumbs to the flesh-pots of Sir Ar
thur Wing Pinero and grows increas-
ingly sappy. There is the model young
man. But first the play is halted to
allow stage orchestra, nobility out
fitted in white sailor pants and MILDLY
blouses, to crash out some glittering
jazz while Mae West does a gorgeous
muscle dance to vast applause.
But then that model young man.
And it is for his sake that she decides
to become a good" woman. Of
course, it's the thing she's been yearn-
ing for all her life, a home, man
she truly loves, little curly heads, etc.
And with the first swallows he brings
her home to meet the folks, and-but
/ didn't wait to learn the horrible
truth. Morality had conquered.

Welcomed Silently.


In the McFadden bill, which legal
ICES the creation of branch banks
within any city by national bank
located there, provided state banks
in dhat state are authorized to estab-
lish branches, this re-charter scheme
is found. 1t was put into the bill in
the senate by Carter Glass of Vir-
ginia, former democratic secretary of
the treasury and one of the authors
of the Federal Reserve Act. The
Mellon-Coolidge administration well
coined it silently, hoping that no pro
gressive would raise the issue be-
tween this relief bill for the Wall
Street bankers and the relief bill for
western farmers.
In conference of the two houses the
Glass amendment was retained, and
the house adopted the conference re-
port. Recently the administration
lined up more than two-thirds of the
senators to sign cloture petitions for
both the McNary-H augen farm relief
bill and this bank re-chartering
scheme. The cloture will not be
needed for the farm bill, as date
for final vote on that measure has
been agreed upon. But the bank bill
awaits further action.
No Filibuster.
As the progressives view the crisis,
nothing can be hope dior in the way
of filibuster. AS soon as they shall
nothing can be hoped for in the way
ure for a day of two, the banking
bloc will file the petition for cloture,
and the debate will be cut off when
each senator shall have had a chance
to speak one hour. Since the active
opposition may number less than ten
senators, a final roll-call can soon be
forced, and the bill will go to the
White House for signing. The coun-
try will have been placed for an in
definite period of years under the fl
nancial charge of the Federal Re-
serve Board and the banks which 1t
is supposed to dominate. The power
which has ruled the policy OF the
beard is the big banking combine in
New York. This group will be able
in future, as it was in 1920, to sud
denly deflate any section of business,
industry or commerce.
Must Be Passed Now.
A prediction has been made that
Coolidge would not dare to veto the
farm relief bill, because that action
would make the senate turn against
him on his bank re-chartering bill.
He will not get chance to slip the
bank bill through the new congress;
the complexion of the senate after
March will be more progressive,
and its membership will be disposed
to examine very deliberately the linz
itationS which should be put on the
banking system, to prevent manipu-
lation of credit and the making OF
panics. He must get the re-charter
bill through congress now. He may
have to pay the price, which would
be his signature on the farm relief
bill, which he has often declared to
be unsound and impossible. Mean
while the farm bill moves toward his
desk, and the farm senator's are I'M
willing to act on the bank privilege
measure until they know he has
signed the relief bill None of them
has discovered that the banks, re-
chartered, can again take away by de-
flation all of the possible good eff
fects of the relief scheme.
