Michael Colds Fiesta"
Postponed Till October

Michael Colds "Fiesta" will not be
produced until next fall. Following
a dress rehearsal last week, the direc-
tors of the New Playwrights Theatre
decided to withdraw the play for re-
casting and rewriting. The am
bilious group of youth dramatists
who were responsible for Loud
Speaker" and Earth" the two plays
put on at the Sind Street Playhouse,
have decided to call it a season, ana
postponed any further production un-
til next October, when "Fiesta" will
open the 1929 season.
John Howard Lawson, managing
director Of the New Playwrights, and
author of Loud Speaker" said that
Colds play contained great artistic
values and vital pontentialities, which
the production had not realized" "A
theatre of our type" he added, ere
quires a tryout audience so that our
plays can be brought to their highest
artistic level before formal presen-

Woman and Child Labor in the Anthracite

the labor market in order to supple
ment the family income. If the man
works for less than the value of his
labor power-the equivalent of the
food, clothing and shelter necessary
to maintain himself and family-the
wife and children work for much less.
The total income of the entire average
family is barely sufficient nowadays
to cover the value of the labor power
of the man alone.
Lines of Slaves.
In other days, when the union had
a fighting policy in the anthracite, one
passing through the region could see
long lines of men coming from various
towns and villages, finally merging
into streams converging at the mouths
of few mines.
Today the men are not so numerous
upon the barren highways Of the re-
gion, because of unemployment. But
the thinning lines of men have been
augmented by thousands of women
and children, some of whom walk
from two to four miles to work (be-
cause their miserable wage forces
them to try to save even the few
cents required for carfare) in the silk
mills and other textile establishments
of Scranton and other cities and
towns.
When miners resent seeing their
wives and children herded like cattle
into the slave pen Of the new indus
tries that have come into the region
because of the exceptional advantages
of cheap labor, they can thank the
reactionary leaders of their union,
whose policy not only aids the anthra-
cite trust but aids the capitalist class
as a whole by turning the region into
a pest hole of scabbery.
However, the "open shop paradise, I"
as the Scranton chamber of commerce
describes the hard coal region, will
not endure very long, for the simple
reason that the horrible conditions of
living, of themselves, will drive the
workers to organize. The time is not
far distant when even the anthracite,
which Lewis considers his stronghold,
win rise against him and the labor
movement will then become dominated
by men who will start organization
drives in every industry-including
those who heed the boast of the In
dustrial Board Of Old Forge and es-
tablish themselves there to be "free of
union labor"

I'm II. M. WICKS.

DURING the past few years the
- anthracite field in Pennsylvania
has been invaded by light industry,
particularly textiles, which employs
mostly women and children. The in
vasion of that territory teaches pro-
found economic lessons for the work
ing class.
There are thousands of places that
geographically, and economically, as
far as transportation and other IA
cilities are concerned, offer better adj
vantages than Scranton, Wilkes
Barre, Pitt1town, Old Forge and the
other anthracite towns. But these
places have one advantage for the in
vestment Of textile capital that is not
to be easily duplicated in points other
wise strategically situated for their
purposes. That is an abundance of
cheap labor.
The Inducement to Textiles.
All the towns in the anthracite have
chambers of commerce sometimes
called industrial boards) whose task
it is to endeavor to induce industries
to establish themselves in their midst
These organizations are busy circular
izing manufacturers of textiles, cloth
ing, candy, etc, telling them of the
splendid opportunities offered because
of cheap labor.
The industrial board of Old Forge,
naming town in the very heart of
the anthracite, tells prospective manu-
facturers:
eve will furnish as many wo-
men workers as you require at
wage of from eight to fifteen dol
lars per week"
The board further states that
manufacturer will be able to make
saving of from fifteen to thirty-five
per cent. on manufacturing costs by
moving to smaller cities besides being
free Of union labor"
Fruits of Treachery.
Superficial observers may think
this agitation for new industries
merely an awakening of the so-called
civic spirit of the business men, who
want to make the anthracite region
something more than one-industry
territory, but the cause is to be found
in the profound social and economic
changes that have taken place quite
recently and is due to the crisis in
the coal industry itself.
While the standard of living of the
inhabitants of the anthracite region

has never been higher than that of the
average American worker, there was
q time that families of miners were
able to live on the wages obtained by
the adult males. But that is no longer
the case. The series of wage cuts, and
the failure of the United Mine Work
ers' of America, under the. national
leadership of John L. Lewis, who be-
trayed the miners during the last
great strike in the hard coal region,
and under the local leadership of the
renegade and traitor, Rinaldo Cap
pelini, have so reduced the miners
wage that no longer can families be
supported from the mines alone.
The shameful united front Of the
mine owners, the police, the courts and
the labor officials against the miners
has crippled the miners organization
so that it functions more as COM
pany union than a trade union. This
united front was plainly in evidence
during the last hard coal strike when
every militant leader in the region
was jailed at the behest of Capellini
and his henchmen. The fruits of the
treacherous policy of the leaders at
the head of the miners union are seen
today in the proud boast that the
region is free of union labor. The
chamber of commerce. gang knows
that they have nothing to fear from
the officials of the miners who con-
troll the various central labor councils
and who would, if they were not
agents of the employers, organize
workers in any industry that could
be established in their vicinity.
Changing Economics.
The economics Of the new situation
in the anthracite are known to all
Marxians. Capitalism, in order that it
may constantly replace lahSs; power in
the market, must pay the heads of
families sufficient to enable them to
live and raise family in order that
there may be a new generation of
slaves to become beasts of burden
when the present generation goes to
the scrap heap Of industry.
But the wages and conditions of
labor in the anthracite have fallen to
such an extent that it is impossible for
the "head" of the family to earn
wages enough to maintain the rest of
the family. Instead of receiving the
value of his labor-power that he sells
in the market, he receives less than
its value. The result is that other
members of the family have to enter

practically no exceptions, vote for
