ANOTHER VOTE
AND WE GO
HOOVER

A very exclusive, and at the
same time unusual. party Is TO be
given shortly by Managing Direc-
tor s. ]. Stehbins, Of the Fox
Theater. This party gains It's dis
tinction from the fact that the
various dramatic and motion pic
ture editors Of the local news
papers are to be given private
showing Of two Of the outstanding
william Fox productions which
are scheduled to shortly be on the
screen of the local Fox Theater.
With rather q lengthy list OF
subjects to be selected Mr.. Steb-
bins asked these critics to select
two out Of the list as their selec-
ton with the vote to be tabulated
and those two selected shown.
Now 4 tie is faced for the vote
stands as follows:
For -Four Sons" c. e. Nelson
and w. III. Landyoight. the
Star; Nelson b. Bell, the Post, and
Paul McCrea, the News; total four
votes. For Street Angel" Lee
Somers, the Herald; Andrew r.
Kelly, the Times: Mr.. Nelson and
Mr.. Landvoight, the Star; total
four votes. For Sunrise" Mr..
Bell. Post: Mr.. Somers, Herald:
Mr.. Kelley, Times. and Mr.. Me-
Crea, News. Total four votes.
Now Mr.. Stebbins is in q guam
dry to figure out way to break
the deadlock on the situation in
order to select the two productions
promised. Possibly he will make It
three, but as that would mean
practically five hours I'm the thee
ter, or an alI.night session, this
naturally would have its disad-
vantages.
An interesting angle, due to the
present turn toward the takers
in the industry, is the fact that

Communists Are Active.

SHANGHAI, (By MaiD.-There
has been of late widespread re-
vival Of Communist propaganda
among several unions in the Shang-
hal district, such as to cause serious
concern in that branch of the local
government charged with its sup
preston. Those unions mentioned
are all members of the Shanghai
Labor Organization Committee and
are in direct violation of the body's
known stand on the Bolshevik CUES
ton.
Particularly noteworthy among
those unions under suspicion is the
Commercial Press Employees Union,
both the printing and shop divisions
being involved. This organization
was well known during last years
difficulty as hotbed of trouble to
the police The Shanghai Newspa-
per Vendors Union, the Shanghai
Postal Employees Union, the Nan
Yang Brothers Tobacco Union, the
Nan Tao Tramway Company's En-
ployees' Union and the Wharf
Coolies Union, which is the only
one involved not a member of the

Wilson argued that the defend

Communist Party and that it was at

papers which freely circulated thru

zines and books which were found
in the homes of the defendants were

Pennsylvania to have such books in

five years in the workhouse of AL

framed up against them by the
agents of the Jones and Laughlin

PREY ON JOBLESS,
LEAVE STARVING
MEN PENNILESS
No Trace Yet Found of
Absconders

Nearly 200 unemployed workers
were made nearly penniless as the
result Of the disappearance of AL
bert Sarsaty and his partner, who
run an employment agency at 1888
Sixth Ave, New York City. Sar-
saty and his partner fled with over
$4,000, the property Of jobless work
ers who had registered in an attempt
to find work. The money consisted
Of fees which the workers had been
forced to deposit with the Sarsaty
agency. The fees ranged from IS
to sos. No clue to the whereabouts
Of Sarsaty and his partner has been
obtained as yet.
The Sarsaty agency was one Of
a series Of thousands Of agencies
along Sixth and Third AYES. and
along the Bowery, at which work
ers out Of Jobs have been mercilessly
exploited and cheated. Some Of the
methods used by Sarsaty and the
employment agency sharks have
been to send the worker to addresses
at which the worker finds only
vacant lot. The worker is first
forced to disgorge a deposit fee, as
high as $25, with the agency. The
law allowing the agency shark to
hold the deposit for three days, the
worker is forced to wait for his
money. and starve meanwhile. Work
ers are often sent to jobs and fired
day later, by pre-arrangement be-
tween the boss and agency.

the outskirts of Wheeling in which
there are two mines and a foundry.
AS each worker went into the mine
or the foundry he was handed an an
nouncement which stated that the
Workers (Communist) Party would
hold rally in the Greek Hall for
the purpose of discussing with the
workers of Norwood the issues of
the election campaign. The commit
tee also distributed a leaflet de-
nouncing the lynching Of Negroes
and calling attention to the Workers
(Communist) Party stand on the
race question. Workers took the an
nouncement cards eagerly, and ex-
pressed great interest in the pro
posed meeting.
Just before the time when the
meeting was scheduled to begin,
Wheeling police and detectives Wis
tied Greek Hall and told the pro-
prietor that if any meeting was held
there, he, along with those who at
tended the meeting would be ar
rested. The hall owner insisted that
he had rented the hall in good faith
for a political meeting. The police
made further threats and went out
side.
Police fntimidate Owner.
When the chairman and speakers
arrived at the meeting several po-
lice were posted near the hall. The
proprietor stated his case, and de-
spite the arguments which the
Workers (Communist) Party repre-
sentatives advanced, Insisted that he
dared not open the hall.
Meanwhile the meeting time APP
preached and citizens began to gath
er. The police then walked up and
down the sidewalk in front of the
hall, provocatively pushing through
the crowd.
Under the conditions, no meeting
was attempted. The West Virginia
electors who were responsible for
placing the Workers (Communist)
Party on the West Virginia ballot
sent telegram to the governor of
the state, protesting against police
terrorism during an election cam
