Hardeen Says They Have Good
 ''RaCket' That's All

Hardeen, brother of the interna- tionally acclaimed Harry Houdini, for many years his partner on the stage and now the owner of the se- crets and the equipment which made Houdini famous, is playing at the Strand theater and finds New brit- ain audiences deeply interested in and attentive to the stunts which have mystified hundreds of thou sands of men and women in many countries.
 Hardeen explains his presence on the stage in a short speech which precedes an act which is entirely free of the "half turns" which con- cealed, or at least was supposed to conceal, the flashes of the old time magician's hands. In 1917, he eN- plains, he left the stage to go into business, with a firm belief that he was never to appear under the cal cium lights again, but with the death of his brother. Houdini. two years ago, he says he came into possession of what is consiG cred to be the greatest collection of stunts, and at the same time was charged with the obligation of Showing up fake spiritualists."
 Challenges Spiritualists
 ''I challenge any of these men or women to perform one of their spiritualistic stunts before me twice and ask me to duplicate 1t. and l promise to do so. l have tricked many of them and confronted them with the evidence of their trickery. They have a racket-a good one to be sure-but nothing more than q racket" Hardeen declared to a Her old reporter in his dressing room at the Strand theater yesterday.

Houdini and Hardeen made a pact at the death bed of third brother. select ing four words which were to serve as a code. and on a night fixed by and Hardeen attempted to communi- cate with the brother. but were un- successful.

great debt of gratitude to America
which has given the father the splen-
did opportunity of pressing pants in
sweat shop for Is years. This is a
bit unnatural, on the part of the
mother at least. The boy soon eases
their conscience by announcing that
both he and the son of the Italian
parents have already enlisted. The
Germans patriotic fervor is not
strained to the test as he has only a
daughter, the sweetheart of t h e
Italian lad
There is bit of humor woven in
scatteringly by the comic expression
of the Jew, and quite bit of war
pathos-the parting for the war and
the homecoming of the Italian lad
who has had the great pleasure of
sacrificing his leg for the cause of
democracy; while the Jewish boy does
not return at all, but has valiantly
given his life to save that of the cap
tain of his regiment, the American
lover of his sister The parents re-
ceive the telegram from the War De-
partment, announcing the death of
their son, while at the evening school,
at the time when the mother is read

coin. She had learned enough Eng
lish to realize the import of the mes
sage.

Theatre is a great boost for the next

FORD PLANS TO

Fires Old Workers and
Hires New Ones Cheap
by Worker Correspondence

by Worker Correspondent
DETROIT, Mich, (By MaiD.-
Just now when Ford's strongest rival,
General Motors, gains more strength
daily in the automobile market, Ford
is resorting to every possible means
to hold the ground.
Hires Cheaper Men.
His first scheme is to cut the
wages of his slaves in a concealed
way. He does this by firing old en-
ployers with higher wage and hir-
ing new men at five dollars a day.
He has come to realize that by doing
this his much heralded reputation for
philanthropy will not suffer much.
But he is greatly mistaken. The
firing of large numbers of old en-
ployers and the hiring of new men
cannot continue indefinitely. Ford's
industry win suffer itself in the long
run by this daily shifting of labor
And those men who are still work
ing at the old pay are never certain
when their turn will come. They
also realize that Ford's old rule of

Food Workers
Toll II Hours
and Get $3.50
by a Worker. Correspondents


LOS ANGELES, Calf. (By MaiD .
Work is speeded up to such an ex-
tent in at least one restaurant of
this city that the average life" Of a
dishwasher on the job is from four
to six hours. Center Lunch at 644 Ia
South Main ST., is the place in ques-
ton, according to an employee sent
out by his boss to look for another
prospective "pearl-diver."
$2.5O For IL Hours.
This man told several of US that
the pay is $3.50 for an II hour work
ing day. When the shift is split, as
it generally is in most restaurants,
this means from IA to Is hours spent
each day in connection with the job.
To finish a shift from two to three
men are generally used. Last Thurs
day four different faces were seen on
the job. The men are speeded up and
otherwise abused. So they quit or
are fired.
The grub is not so bad, the man
said, but it is hard to find time to
eat in a place where they are serving
waffle a la king as a speciality.
In restaurant a few doors from
where am stopping, the walters,
ETC., are working II
hours day without rest for SIS a
week. And this city is crowded with
places of this sort all around the La
Dor Temple. But no serious effort is
made by the officialdom to organize
the workers in the food industry.
Beat Up Militant.
Last year member of the Work
ers (Communist) Party took up the
matter of organization in his union.
His reward was terrible beating by
the bootlegger boss of his American
Federation of Labor union. Broth
err" Johnston, who ran against Bug
zell for the secretaryship of the Cen
trail Labor Council at the last cleo
ton, was present at the union head
quarters when the beating took
place. Altho Johnston claimed to be
a left-winger at that time, he did
to prevent the outrage.

thick that it nauseates the Intelligent
reviewer. The picture is only worthy
of applause from those in whose in
terests it is, and so it has the willing
endorsement of the Secretary of La
Dor, James W. Davis, who dedicates
it with diplomatic eloquence to the
immigrant.
The picture is preceded by beauti-
full study of Americas natural Won
ders, the great Niagara Falls, the
gorgeous Yosemite Valley, the
Rockies, ETC., all of which is very fine.
However the story itself is ridiculous
and unbelievable. We are introduced
to three immigrant families in pre-
war days, German, Jewish n
italian. These families have great
difficulties with their unruly Ameri-
canized sons and daughters, who are
ashamed of their un-American
parents and spend their days and
evenings away from their homes; the
daughter of the Jewish family even
leaves the parental roof because of its
foreign atmosphere. The trouble is
soon arighted by too sudden realiza-
ton of the values of evening school
education by the three immigrant
families and they proceed to attend.
Here they learn to read and write
English, together with stable doses
of patriotism. The patriotic fervor
of the Jewish parents reaches so high
a pitch that at the entrance of Ameri-
ca in the World War they plead with
their Son tn enlist and thing nnu thni,.

To Close Down.
In the Highland Park plant Ford
manufactures his own batteries for
automobiles. Several hundred men
are employed in this department
Now it is rumored that this depart
ment will be closed down in very
few days and no more batteries will
be made there. For it is understood
that these batteries can be bought
cheaper from other firms which
manufacture them.

it, moonshine. Let their ideas and

Without sincerity, passion and sweep

things you cannot write poetry, tho
you may produce excellent doggerel.
After an infinite amount of effort of
