The little three-year-old son, with his father wandered around crying, until taken in charge by neigh bors.
 The firemen fought the flames on the burning building and also threw streams on surrounding buildings to keep the fire from spreading.

 Mrs. P. J. Mullen, occupying a suite adjoining that of the Conns, said that shortly after the noon hour, Mrs. Conn rapped on the partition and asked her to come in as she was cleaning a dress. Mrs. Mullen replied that she was busy just then and would be in later.
 Within a minute or two, Mrs. Mullen said, the explosion came. She opened her door and rushed to the Conn apartment, and as she opened the doors, flames burst forth. The room in which l Mrs. Conn was in then was a mass of flames.
 Mrs Mullen rushed into the street and as the firemen arrived told them of Mrs. Conn's pres ence in the flaming room.
 The firemen worked effectively |. on the flames. The roof had to be chopped in many places to permit taking the host lines into the attic to pour water down on the flames. The building is prac- tically a total loss. For years it has been used as an apartment as well as lodging house. The building is owned by Mrs. Anna Trough.

THE SILVER BOX"
Galsworthys Play of Class Justice Revived
At the Morosco

A vivid comparison of class justice
II and a damning indictment of lib
eralism is found in John Galsworthy's
first play, "The Silver Box" now re-
vived at the Morosco Theatre. 1t was
originally produced 20 years ago with
| Ethel Barrymore.
The story concerns liberal M. P,
who when faced with a situation of
Importance acts as all so-called lib
erals actin a manner that places
their words as mere phrases and their
acts the exact opposite of what they
preach or pretend to believe.
The son of the M. P. steals wom-
ans pocketbook when drunk. Later
in the evening he invites to his house
an unemployed worker whom he meets
on the street. The worker accepts. In
the house the unemployed man takes
silver cigarette box.
Later, the unemployed mans wife
who happens to work as a charwoman
in the M. P. house, is suspected OF
the theft. The husband confesses to
save his wife and is arrested. When
brot to court he is sentenced to a
months Imprisonment.
Every attempt by the arrested
worker to mention that the liberal
leaders son had also stolen, is silenced
by the judge. On top of that the M.
P. and his son snub the wife after
the husband is sentenced.
The court scene is the most impor-
tant part of the play. 1t is difficult
to describe in short review the mas
terly fashion in which Galsworthy de-
scribes the different treatment the
worker and the son of the M. P. re-
ceive in the same court. The worker
is jailed. the charge against the son
is laughed out of court.
The acting is of superior fashion.
All members of the cast fit in well
with their respective parts. Special
mention must be made of Halliwell
Hobbies as the M. P; James Dale as
the worker and Isobel Elsom as his
wife. The rest of the cast is on an
equal high plane.
The play is produced by Henry
Baron, who is to be commended for
the revival. The play has been staged
by Laurance Hanray. IS. A. P.

TRADE: UNIONISTS
REPLY TO VOL

In a letter to the Americana Rus
sian Chamber of Commerce, the Rank
and File Trade Union Delegation,
which recently returned from a trip
to Russia, denounces Matthew Wolf
for the open letter he recently sent
to- that business organization in the
name of the National Civic Fedora
tion. Vol is acting president of the
Civic Federation and vice president
of the American Federation of Labor.
The Trade Union Delegation tells
Vol that he should "devote one
tenth of the time now absorbed by
his concern in Russian affairs to the
relief of hundreds of thousands of
hard pressed, striking miners in Penn
sylvania, Ohio and Colorado, and to
the unionization of Americas still
largely unorganized industries"
UnemplOv ment Cited.
VOLTS letter, sent last week, called
upon the Russian Chamber
of Commerce to cease working for
better business relations with the
Soviet Union. ,,
Further industrial development in
the Soviet Union is limitless," the let
ter adds.
The delegations letter concludes by
saying that the most effective revo-
lutionary propaganda in America is
low wages, long hours and miserable
living conditions in Americas basic
industries.

The foreign-born among us are
made the butt of particular persecu-

finger printing them in order that
they may be deported if they go on

Our masters, endeavoring to subju-
gate Central America and to secure a
second canal between the Atlantic
and the Pacific, are right now waging
a cruel war against the brave San

lators do the bidding of big business
whether they be republicans, demo-
Gratis, conservatives or so-called pro-
gressives. The schools, churches,
theatres, movies, papers, books and
other means of education are all
owned by capitalists who try to
enslave your mind. You millions upon

to crush your movements whenever
you demand even a small share of

Fight against their interference. Or

Leninism tells you: Prepare to

against the makers of war, the CAPT

not allow yourself to be fooled by
the preachment of patriotism or the
protection of your country because
patriotism is the catch-word of your
