Little Theatre Opera
Company Open With
"Robin Hood.

The Little Theatre Opera Com
pany, a new group especially or
gained to present opera comique
in English. opened its current sea-
son last night with "Robin Hood"
at the Heckscher Theatre on upper
Fifth Avenue.
De Koven's tuneful opera has not
been heard in these parts for many
a year. The revival last night
brought back memories of the we'll
known production of the Aborns,
who did the piece here some years
back. AS sung last night, by the
excellent cast, its melodies captivated
the large audience.
The company will give the opera
all this week, with a matinee on
Saturday. Kendall K. Mussey is the
director and William j. Reddick is
the musical director.
The operas planned include ''The
Bat" by Johann Strauss on Deem
Der II; "Merry Wives of Windsor"
Nicolai; "Djamileh," Bizet; "Phoe-
bus and Pan," Bach; elixir of
Love-" Donizetti, and "The Choco-
late Soldier" by Oscar Strauss.

"1he SqueQler " MelodranaG
of Old, Opens at the Forrest

A NEW ten-twenty- thirty "meller-
"A drama" has opened at the For
rest Theatre. 1t is best to describe
the offering by using the subheadA
ing that appears under the name of
the play on. the program-A Melo-
drama of the Days When the William
WAS a William and the Hero Had a
Heart of Gold.
Concisely, at. the rise of the cur
tain we are confronted with Charlie
Wong's Oriental Palace, known as
Frisco Charles, Pacific Street, San
Francisco, in the fateful April, 1906.
A description of the locale is suffi-
Gent for the audience to expect what
is about to happen and what does
happen in series of highly colored
instances of gun-play, opium fiends,
abducted white slaves, Chinese gang
war, etc., with our heroine moving
through all unscathed and our hero
always arriving in the nick of time.
The deadly Vaccinations of the as
sorted Williams with several murders
thrown in for good measures in the
following act. Climaxes, anti-cli-
and sub-climaxes, follow close
upon each other, with the drama"
brought to a close by the fateful
happening, which occurred in San
Francisco in April, 1906.
And then the "trick" denouement,
which it would not be fair to reveal
Shades of A. H. Woods and his
old days at the American Theatre,
when he sponsored and, incidentally,
made a fortune in such offerings
before he discovered that there was
more profit in plays with beds!
If one likes his melodrama joshed
and kidded about, "The Squealer"
provides such an evenings entertain
ment.
In the large cast Ruth Shepley
and Robert Bentley are featured as
the boy and girl, while Robert Har-
rison parades about as a Chinese
villain.
The production is presented by
jack Under and is by Mark Under.
Enough said!

u. S. Supreme Court
Rules Against N. Y.
Khan in Appeal Case

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-De=
spite the pressure exerted by the
entire national organization of the
Ku Klux Khan, fear of arousing the
ire of Catholic and Jewish elements
caused the United States supreme
court today to uphold the New
York State Ku Klux Khan law. The
law requires membership corpora
tons to file lists of members and
officers with the secretary of state
che decision was given in a
habeas corpus case appeal from the
New York court decision by George
w Bryant. Buffalo klansman, who
challenged his arrest on violation
of the statute, known also as the
Walker law. The law had pre-
viously been upheld by the New
York state supreme court and the
state court of appeal.
Bryant, in his appeal, character
lied the Khan as similar in many
activities to benevolent orders, and
asserted that IAN attack upon this
institution is an attack upon the
hest citizenry of the country"
Though the patriotic justices of the
supreme court did not question this
last statement, they thought it ex-
nedient not to buck the anti-Klan
law.

factory making $13 a week. This
family's wages are no exception, but
are the average thruout this part
of the country. Every man has his
wife working, and every family has
to send the children to the shop as
soon as they reach the age of 10
or ~.
The general rule applied in all of
the factories along the valley, on
the part of the employers is also to
see to it that the husband does not
work very regularly so as not to
become independent" They give
periodical Vacations Gin order to
give chance to the unemployed to
earn something" This giving a
chance to the unemployed" is a
measure used first, to. terrorize the
workers into submitting to worse
conditions of work and second, to
compel them to accept the lowest
wages possible. The saying, "the
unemployed hang like a milestone
over the necks of those employed,
always threatening to pull them
down into the abyss" is the coolest
reality to these workers, which they
experience in their everyday life.
One other method which the
bosses use to further break the
morale of the workers is the con-
slant firing Of old men and the re-
hiring of them anew after a short
lapse of time. In hiring these men
back they give preference" to the
married men and women and to
those longest unemployed. But this
is done not because of "humanitar-
ian motives" as the company
stools" are instructed to spread
among the workers, but because
first a married man, especially one
with large size family, would
submit to greater exploitation and
show less resistance, and second,
the longest unemployed worker
faced with further starvation and
misery would accept a job for less
wages than others would, which is
generally the case. Thus the bosses

There is not trace of labor or

result of these struggles that the
workers have had, is general dis
gust towards the old leadership
which has betrayed them on various
occasions. There is, however, new
spirit of organization and struggles
against these conditions developing
among the workers. But this new
spirit of struggle must be met with
new militant, honest and cour-
ageous leadership, which must arise
out of their own ranks with a diff
ferent outlook and perspective upon
the whole capitalist system. The
basis for the new organization of

into powerful industrial unions,
which shall include every worker in

establish a real solid front of the
workers against the powerful en-
ploying class and it's agent, the
capitalist state.
Only the left wing, the Workers
Communist Party, will provide the
leadership, and fighting ability plus
the program to organize these
workers. The first steps are being
taken. There is every indication
that the slaves Of the American

Hoax Unemployed
in ENGLAND With Lie
of Jobs in London

LONDON, by MaiD. - Wide
spread unemployment, steadily grow
ing more acute, has brought daily
influx into London of thousands of
unemployed workers from the rest
of England. The hopes of these
workers, large part of whom are
miners, of finding work in London,
have been dashed to pieces by the
fact that unemployment is worse
here than elsewhere. The influx into
London is laid at the doors of the
authorities of the other sections who
hoax the unemployed into thinking
that plenty of jobs are open in, Lon
don.
Since the government dole is de-
MED to single men, thousands have
had to marry before they otherwise
would, in order to receive Poor Law
help for the wife.

had destroyed all marks of identifi-

that he was broke and wanted no

The Community Chests drive for
$2,644,185 has started. There are
$4,000 orphans, cripples, sick, old
and destitute people at present on
this 'oasis of abundance" according
to the press. To complete the pic
ture, at least $4,000 unemployed men
and women must be added to this
figure. That makes 100000 "down
and outs" in this city of prosper
ity," or one-third of the population,
said by the Chamber of Commerce
to be 100000.
If the sum of $2,644,185 was
equally divided, each of these $780,
GOO people would get $3.50 to starve
on for whole year-or, in other
words, daily allowance of 2 cents,

geles Record, a "liberaP' sheet which
stated this morning that "Los An
geles was proving itself a generous

The idle workers will get nothing
out of the contributions-jails for
them, of course. And when the

rible conditions in the dungeons of
the labor-baiting Chief of Police
James Edgar Davis, they are per-
mitted to kill themselves. Fred

months and reported to The Daily

Now, two cents day is hardly
enough to live for. And the flag
under which such rotten social con-
diticns exist is not worth d. ing for
either. The workers, instead of kill
ing themselves or permit their ex-
ploiters to do the job for them, are
going to kill the capitalist system
one of these days. So keep on living
and fighting for the immediate and
final programs of the Workers

Association of North America and
its national officers from a drastic
antitrust injunction, charging a
conspiracy to keep non-union made
cast stone out of the New York
metropolitan district, was dismissed
today on a technicality. The appel
lants failed to give formal lower
court separation from the New York
local union officials, who were also
named in the lower courts injunc-
ton.
The national union and officers
challenged the lower court, finding
that the evidence show they con-
spired with the New York and
Newark unions of stone cutters and
the West Chester Building Trades
Council. They also sought to bring
up the question whether the acts of
President Michael w. Mitchell and
Joseph Wall of the unions executive
hoard in the alleged conspiracy were
binding on the national union. The
ether unions named in the injunc-
ton did not appeal.
The injunction asserted the labor
bodies conspired to establish mon
opoly by means of threatening con-
tractors, calling strikes and intimi-
dating builders.

Water Cuts Through Steel.

In the operation of the great hydro
electric power plants Of the Pacific
Slope serious problem has been the
matter of the constant renewal OF the
impulse water wheel MOBILES. At one
of these plants the water passing
through the 7la-inch nozzles with We
locity of $50 feet per second under an
effective head of 2.243 feet, had a very
decided erosive effect on the throat
rings, and the nozzles Of the 10000

wheel. In fact, the bronze or cast
steel nozzles had a life of from 35 to
40 DAYS only, and this despite the fact
that the water is clean and free from
abrasive materials.
By welding "stellite," very hard and
tough alloy. onto the cast steel MOBILES,
the cutting action Of the water has been
reduced to such an extent that no signs
of erosion were found on the man
water wheel nozzles after two months OF
service nor on the EXETER wheel noz-
