THE new show at the Casino The

ing new in musical comedies. It's
the same old plot, the same old
hokum, the same young familiar

all this, fast tuneful, gay eve

George Choos produces this mu-
steal empty of college life. Into the
tuneful vacuum he has tossed some
excellent dancing, number of
laughs from a book by Walter De
Leon and a number of lifting tunes
by Richard Myers that are sure to
come often from now on over your

thrown in Warnings Pennsylvanians,
an orchestra of imposing radio and

two hours at noon and at carrying
dishes.
A Tough Job.
On an average, the work was hard
and part of it very disagreeable.

with two twelve-hour shifts for
part of the "help," such as dish
washers and bus boys. Six days
was the week. l worked twelve
hours per day for SIS per week.
The dishwashers received $18 per
week Some who had worked there
a year or two claimed to get $40.
Bus boys were paid SIS per week.
The dishwashers We're kept busy
preparing vegetables during the
slack parts of the day, but at meal

chen was hot enough, but close to
that steaming machine the heat was
fierce. How those boys did sweat
The bus boys were continually
being goaded by first one petty boss
and then other.
Keep 'em Moving"
The manager, of course, was on
the job every day. But the real
boss, himself, put in his appearance
only occasionally. He was very
dignified person and seldom con-
descended to speak to any of the
"help" unless it was to find fault.
The restaurant was often short of
help. But by squeezing little more
work out of the rest Of us things
were kept going. At one time the
storeroom man was sick for two
weeks. Three other men had to
spare time from their own work by
turns to look after the storeroom.
The staleness of the air in the
basement was quite noticeable until
one became accustomed to it. And
at the end of the day l would often
wait until the others had left the

To champion cause for which the
participants have been struggling
7ainlY for many years is no mean
ask. It is especially difficult
when the struggle is not against bad
Industrial conditions but direct at
tack on the corrupt city government.
The thousands of pushcart pedd-

Tilent recipients of police brutality
nd political abuse with no protest
ng voice ever heard in their defense.
The history Of the peddler here has
Been one long battle wrought with
oppression and defeat.
Once Free.
When certain streets were first
brown open as public markets,
9ushcart space was free to anyone
Who wanted it. Gradually certain
ocations became more desirable
han others and it evolved into a
esee-for-all with the younger and
more Americanized peddlers the
victors. The kindly city govern
uent, ever concerned with the vel
are of its poor citizens, passed
egislation forcing the 'peddlers to
buy yearly license for four dollars
which entitled them to place in the
sun. The result was more con-
fused than ever before. The good
locations were retained by the young
men who had "pull" and the foreign
ars became a rowing band driven
rom market to market, constantly
hailed into court for the simple rea-
son that they did not remain sta
tionary in the vicinity of the DULLES
md competitors. Again the city un-
lertook to aid the weak and suffer
ng and passed a bill raising the
early license from four to
'ifty-two dollars and granting each
'eddler a definite location. Ohio in

As much as five hundred dollars
ngraft is paid to the market super

'fford to come across so easily or in
arge sums are tormented by the
qpervisors until they are forced to
cave their places which are then
old to newcomers for outrageous
