TICKLE AND PUNCH IN FACTORY FIGHT
Prank Ends in Quarrel With Discharged Employe Arrested

Angelo Dalsanto. 21. of 2o1 Hart ford avenue. is ticklish, and be- cause of the fact a number of things happened to him today, which might not have fallen to his lot in . life time but for his susceptibility to 8 playful poke in the ribs.
 He was going about his duties in the Hart & Cooley factory this fore- noon when someone tickled him. Squirming away he accidentally bumped into Stanley Kaminski of IF Broad street, a fellow employe. and kaminski demanded to know why this-and-that. etc.
 Dalsanto. according to the story. punched Kaminski in the face and kaminski demanded that the police be called. Dalsanto was discharged and Detective Sergeant c. c. Filing CT was called to the factory. Because of Kaminski's insistence, the ser geant was obliged to arrest Dalsanto but found that the latter had left the factory.
 Going to his home, the sergeant was again unable to locate him. but he left word there to have him call at the police station, and shortly before noon he dropped in. accom- panied by his father. He was book ed on the charge of assault and re- leased on his own recognizance for his appearance in police court. to- morrow.

Reviews of Current
 1heater Offerings
{By Herald Reviewer)


 Cyrano de Bergerac stepped from leaves of Edmond Rostand's work last night at Parsons theater. Hart ford, and held the center of the stage for more than three hours. For that length of time Walter Hampden. il his impersonation of Rostand's comic hero, was the focal point of atten- ton, revealing qualities of stagecraft seldom witnessed in this day of the languishing drama.
 MT. Hampden's imperspnation which he has given nearly zoo times, is a glittering, flawless gem. From every angle he is impressive. On the stage during the greater part of the performance. he goes through his lines unfalteringly. giving each it's proper nuances regardless of the mood. Gay or sad. bragging or go- ing seriously about piece Of busi- ness, Hampden is master of the sit uation. The English version of the play is by Brian Hooker of Farming ton. Cyrano, whose nasal protuber- ance is an atrocity, has the heart and soul of poet in spite of the scurvy trick nature played on him by giving him enough nose for two. He is deeply in love with his cousin Rox- ane but suppresses evidence of his passion, realizing that the world, not alone the lady, would laugh if a man with his face spoke of love. Roxane loves Christian de Neuvillette, sol dier of the guards in which Cyrano also holds membership. She reveals her state of mind to Cyrano and makes him promise to protect Chris tian from danger on the battlefield.
 Christian, unfortunately, is lacking in mental graces, but Cyrano. from whose pen verses flow easily, SUD- plies his rivals wants and provides the language with which Christian carries on his lovemaking. In the third act when Christian, standing in the dark, makes love to Roxane, on the balcony of her home, while Cy- rano. standing behind his friend. whispers the inspiration. is one ot the most striking. as we'll as one ol the most amusing Tn the play. The high spot occurs in the last act, 14 years later as Cyrano. dying, upinten- tionally discloses his love for Roxane and she realizes that it was he who supplied the inspiration for the ar dor of Christian. long dead.
 Charles Quigley of New Britain, cast in the role of Christian, is a dashing cavalier who makes a strik- ing appearance. He acts his part ad- mirably in spite of the fact that he is handicapped by throat condition which makes his voice foggy. MT.

Quigley has made remarkable strides in progress since those early days not so many years ago when he de- cided to seek 2 career on the stage. The fact that he is playing the role second only to Hampden indicates the extent of his achievements.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 16-Mass
picketing today opened the second
day of the strike declared when over
100 strikers of the Surpass Leather
Company marched out in protest
against shop conditions. The COM
pany employs some 1000 leather

expects to spread rapidly, several
thousand leaflets are being distrib-
uted.
The strikers joined the Philadel.

day week; recognition of union and
shop committee, and equal pay for
equal work for women, youth and

J. Prial today. The hearing may
lead to a fight in the U. S. Supreme
Court. John F. Collins, counsel for
the contractors, said yesterday.
Following its traditional policy of
pleading wage issues in the courts
rather than enforcing the labor laws
by militant strike action, the A. F.
Of l.. union will apply to the at
torney general on jurisdiction "if
necessary. 1t also wants State

Former Assemblyman Frederick
L. Hackenburg, counsel for the I'M
ion, characterized the issue as a
general breakdown of the labor
law" rather than one of local failure.
Following the "legalist" lead of
the union, the contractors countered
by doubling the laws were ''constitu-
tional." The hearing was adjourned
to Sept. 5. Meanwhile, rank and file
union workers express deep oiscon-
tent with the Brotherhood's policy.

tions," they hold, sis not by court
support but by fighting the employ
ers whenever necessary"

ARREST e in CAR
CAMP AICN IN La.
Appeal for Fake Bus
Competition" Line

NEW ORLEANS, La, Aug. 49,
Twenty-eight jitney drivers were
arrested today as the next step in
clearing the way for the Public Ser
vice, Inc, to break the strike of car
men here. The drivers were charged
with not posting $4,000 bond apiece,
as required by the city ordinance
whose passage precipitated during
the past two days mass revolt
from carmen strikers and sympa-
thizers, attacks upon the city hall,
the shooting of eight by police, the
wounding of many, and scores of
arrests.
Robert Klein and Clarence Michel,
two of the drivers who persisted in
transporting passengers in jitneys
instead of scab street cars, were
fined $40 each in night court, while
Peter Quatroy drew fine of $25.
Affidavits for trial in day court
were filed by the others.
The major number of jitneys are
operating on a free-fare basis. The
streets are filled with police cruis-
ing back and forth, trailing and
checking up on these jitneys. City
Attorney Bertrand Calm, however,
threatens to eliminate the free jit-
neys as well, claiming that even the
free jitneys are operated in viola
ton of the law. The jitneys refuse
to be chased away by this threat.
A request for a franchise to OPP
crate fleet of buses in competi-
ton with the Public Service, Inc,
which controls street car and bus
lines exclusively at present, as well
as gas, and other public utilities,
was again brought before the COM
mission council in a letter made pub
lie last night by T. C. Dawkins of
Shreveport.
This is interpreted here as new
strikebreaking move, first to more
effectively clear away the jitneys
then, through the operation of ar
inadequate and badly run handful OF
competition" buses, force the pub
lie to use Public Service, Inc, buses
and street cars.
An immediate and final answer to
the petition was requested from the
city authorities, Dawkins said.

workers demonstrated before the
Jail, singing Solidarity" their ia
forte song for labor struggle.
"The present condition of the tex
tile industry is such," said the call
presented at the mass meeting, that
inevitably the workers will have to
resist in a body and on a large and
widespread scale we will have to take
the offensive in the combat. The
workers are in a fighting spirit.
They are fighting back as hard as
they possibly can, now in one place,
then in another Now in the South
just as we'll as in the North. The
textile workers have now reached
point where they are glad of every
opportunity to fight. The wages and
conditions of the textile workers are
such, that there is nothing to lose.
We might as well starve while fight
ing, rather than starve as slaves
under the mill bosses yoke. But we
must measure up the job! The fight
must be made by the workers with
such force, that it will equal the
trustified power of the textile mill
barons.
"The National Textile Workers
Union is calling tais conference" he
continued "of all cotton textile work
ers in New England as we'll as in
the South, on latter date lin order
to solidify the workers ranks. BY
adopting the proper tactics of Or
ganizing the unorganized textile
workers, and a proper perspective
for the future struggles that are

ference has for its object. the or

leadership, and mobilize the workers
