"Ihe LADDER to Discontinue
Free Performances This Week

THIS is final week CT free perfor-
mances of "The Ladder" at the
Cort Theatre. Beginning Wednes-
day, July II, following a weeks re-
hearsal of new version of the Davis
play, which deals with reincarnation,
the production will go back to regular
scale of box office prices.
For the final free performances,
"The Ladder" tickets will be distrib-
uted at the Cort Theatre 8 o'clock
evenings and 2 p. m. for matinees--
first come, first served.
"The Ladder is rather unique in
Broadway theatrical history. Begin
ming at the Mansfield Theatre, Oc-
tober 81, 1926, the play has had a
varied experience, 1t has played more
than $50 times in various theatres.
Since last November, Edgar B. Davis,
sponsor, has given away all seats free
for each performance. AS he is a
wealthy oil man, the million dollars
he has spent in keeping the show
going, probably means little to him.
So here is the final opportunity to
see the play gratis. Carroll McComas
plays the leading feminine role.

then offer 25 per cent more pay for

Many are fooled by the company
and work hard to make the bonus
But they will learn that even with the
bonus they cannot earn decent iv-

The yearly wage report of one
man, I learned from him, was only
S1100 including the bonus and very
hard work.

to be earning big wages.
Other workers buy stock in the
company. They get a few dollars

rich. But some of US are waking up
We have seen how the company lays
off men over 45 years of age because
they can no longer produce the work
so quickly.
Only three months ago a so year old
Inspector making IS cents per hour

year old boy took his place for As

A RUSSIAN ACTRESS TAKES
TO THE SCREEN

Appearing with Ivan Moskvin, the
supreme Russian artist of the Mos
kow Art players in "The Station
Master" a Sovkino production now
showing at Cameo Theatre, is Mali
noyskaya, an actress well-known tc
the Russian stage but new to the
screen. 1t is impressive to see this
Russian artist, inexperienced in Gin
ema technique, create a sincere illu-
sion through her effortless art. When
Malinoyskaya wishes to present an
atmosphere of genuine youth, she
does not, like our own Lillian Gish
depend upon American sentimental
ism which usually becomes over-em-
phatic and thereby destroys the ele-
ment of truth.
Malinoyskaya, directed by Ivan
Moskvin, whose art has brought to
the screen all the finest achievement
of artistic naturalism, reached to his
supervision with all the beauty OF
sincere feeling and honest emotion
Similarly to Moskvin, she illuminates
her role in Pushkin's famous story
"The Station Master" with the care.

all times that her approach to hen

(Ru a Worker Correspondentl

PHILA., Pa. (By maiD. - Unem-
ployment increases weekly in this
city. In addition to the worsening of
conditions and increase of those I'M
employed the number of workers on
part time schedule, which il Philadel-
phia usually means two days week
is also increasing at rapid rate.
$12 Per Week.
And those who are fortunate 90
enough to retain their jobs find them
selves faced with wage cut after wage
cut. Recently some of the "philan-
thropic" owners of department stores,
such as Gimbels, put into effect a
large wage-cut among the sales girls,
wages coming down in many cases
from $18 to $12 per week.
Furthermore, the bosses in all fac
tories seek all possible pretexts. no
matter how slight, to discharge their
employees, because orders for products
are coming in slowly or not at all, and
in many cases the bosses refuse to
make any products for stock, manu-
featuring for orders only.
How bad conditions are for the
workers can easily be discovered by
going out to any residential district
Inquiries at the corner groceries will
reveal that workers are purchasing
in very small quantities, and only the
barest necessities, such as a loaf of
bread, often half a loaf if the grocer
is willing to cut it, coffee, sugar, po-
tatoes.
Signs of Prosperity"
A walk thru any business" street
Of the working class quarters of the
city, and these so-called business
streets traverse all working class res
idential areas, shows innumerable
signs as follows: Bankruptcy Sale"
"To Be Sold by Sheriff." CONSTABLE
Sale" "Going Out of Business" etc.
Even in the central business section
of Philadelphia, many stores have
found it necessary to close down, so
small have their receipts become due
to economic depression.
Hard times have hit the petit bour-
geoisie hard thru the inability of
workers to purchase merchandise on
meager wages or no wages at all.
A great deal of talk is heard to the
effect that since this is presidential
year there is therefore the depression.
This is pure hokum by which no in
telligent worker is fooled, for condi-
tons in Philadelphia have been bad
for over two years.
Others say, "ah, after the elections,
then prosperity" More of the usual
bunk. Intelligent workers know what
the matter is and are telling others.
They propose in this presidential year
to vote for Foster, thereby proving
that they have gotten down to the
root of the economic problems that
beset every worker.

URGES PLUMBERS
TO VOTE AGAINST
LOCAL | FAKERS
Must Watch Misleaders
in Welfare Club
(By a WorEer Correspondent

Try q WORKER Correspondent
The election for all officers of the
Brooklyn Plumbers Local No. 1 will
take place at the end of this month.
There is great dissatisfaction with
the present officers of the local. This
is due to the great unemployment in
the trade. The speed-up system and
other evils in the trade are RESPONSE
BILE for the dissatisfaction.
The officials of Local /, who posed
as "progressives," did nothing to i'm
prove these evils. The dissatisfaction
of the rank-and-file of the local lead
to the organization of the Welfare
Club of Local /. Many of the mem
bers of the Welfare Club are honest
workers who really want to fight for
real and honest trade unionism.
Some of the members of the
club are trying to use it out
for their own personal use. The
plumbers of Local 1 should be on
guard against the latter element. The
club is very favorable to the plumb
ers' helpers.
The progressives of Local / have
put up full slate for the coming
elections. Vote for the progressives
and for real trade unionism.
The present officials of Local 1
have betrayed us long enough. 1t is
time they were given the gate. You
can do it by casting vote against
them on June 80.
