Freddy" Is Mildly Amusing
Farce at the LvCelt2n Theatre

A typical English drawing room
comedy titled FREDDY" is now al
the Lyceum Theatre where it is
mildly amusing summer audiences
these hot nights. 1t is by c. Stat
ford Dickens who also staged the
production.
While the comedy is entertaining
most of the time, occasionally it
starts to drag, but somehow hits
it's stride again before it becomes
boring.
The play opens in the Gommery's
home in Surrey, England. 1t shows
a British couple who have an abun-
dance of money and a lack of brains.
Freddy Hall, friend of George
Gommery, who is the business rep
resentative of the household, finds
himself the center of a love affair
on the part of Mrs. Gommery.
Freddy, who is unusually shy, re-
pels the advances Of Mrs. Gommery
and says he has a mistress. He
hopes in this way to evade her.
Asked the name of the woman, he
says she is Queenie Mellish, a lead
ing London actress. Freddy was
holding a theatre program with her
name, when asked the question, and
it was the first name that came to
his mind. Complications arise due
to the fact that George Gommery
is conducting an affair with the
same Queenies.
Freddy reaches Queenie and ex-
plains the entire situation to her.
After great deal of turmoil, which
is served with many witty lines,
Freddy and Queenie actually fall in
love with one another. The Com
merys go back home, the male men,
ber of the family starting another
love affair with a Spanish actress
as the final curtain falls.
Raymond Walburn plays the part
of Freddy and does very well in
difficult role. The other parts are
also portrayed very precisely.
Queenie's role is in the capable
hands of Vera Nelson, while Mrs.
Gommery is played by Beatrice Ter
ry. Others in the cast are the
author as George Commery and HUI
bert Druce as Queenie's father.

EVER NJ LAMP
SLAVES INHALE
POISONOUS Gilt
Young Workers Ready
for Action

(By q Worker Correspondent
The place l work in is the Ever
nu Lamp Co., where girls and boys
are chiefly employed.
My work is so injurious in char
acter, so dangerous to the workers
health, that two things usually hap
pened on the job. Either a boy
quit in day or a week, or if he
stuck it through because of desper-
ate necessity, he was transferred to
another section of the factory. But
the boss, fat slobby, speak-thru-
the-nose affair, with the able assist
ance of his roaring, abusive fore
man, found some kind of remedy.
Our work is to gild lamp fixtures
The solution is made of lacquer and
gilt dust and let me say, when that
gilt is poured into the solution and
a quantity swirls across the floor,
swept by the wind, everyone shields
bis entire face.
Inhale Deadly Grains.
The deadly grains in your lungs,
your nostrils, eyes and even skin are
greatly dreaded Then again, in
gliding all day, staggering with
heavy loads of lamp fixtures to the
gliding tables, there are no seats at
all and no rest allowed. We stand
all day above the gilt solution which
gives off sickening gaseous fumes
that give dull headaches.
An Unsanitary Hole
We work nine hours a day. The
lunch "hour" is thirty minutes. The
toilets are so filthy that one must
be in a desperate state before en-
tering. No paper either. Towels,
soap, sufficient lockers? Nothing
of the kind! But our wages are
quite compensation If you can
say that of $13 for the first week
land few stay any longer), $14 or
sis afterwards, then I'll eat an old
felt.
The radical feeling among the
young workers can easily be put to
practice. I discussed our lousy con-
Gitions with a few and all said in
so many words: Someone ought to
start strike around here" They
need leadership. Our factory is in
Bush Terminal, Brooklyn, 36th st.
and Second Ave. Thousands of
young workers are shaving in the
factories in this section from about
25th st. to 59th, First to Fourth

must get to work there and build

two blocks away in charge of one
Major Dolly (also Gastonia mill law
yer and one of those helping the
prosecuting prosecutors in the
frame-dp of leaders and strikers).
The city's deputies were no where
to be found on this night. One
woman who lived near the Union
headquarters and could plainly hear
and see the destructionists at work
is said to have telaphoned the police
station of the affair and the reply
was "There is no law in the city
tonight"
A reaction set in but not the sort
the bosses were looking for. A ire
mendous wave of sympathy set in
for the strikers which compelled a
grand jury hearing. 1t was a fore
gone conclusion that nothing would
be found out and that the bosses
would be given a whitewash. So
it was.
The Guard Is Posted.
However, the strikers said they
would be prepared the next time.
They set to work and built new
headquarters themselves and placed
a guard around every night to pro-
tect it and the lives of the many
living in the tent colony. Nightly
mass meetings were held on the
lot with greater and greater num-
bers Of workers and friends attend
ing. Every Saturday night special
affairs were given: music, dancing,
boxing and picnicking. Plans were
under way to show moving pictures.
The spirit of the workers every
where was mounting higher and
higher. Those that were strike
breaking were allowed to attend
every mass meeting and entertain
ment. 1t was generally understood
that these workers did not realize
what they wcra doing to their fellow
workers on strike. The purpose of
the strikers was to convince them
that their place was in their ranks.
The writer often had conferences
with "scabs." 1t was known that
Manager Baugh was continually in
fear Of a huge walk-out which was
gaining momentum every day.
To try and offset this he called
the whole Strike Committee, one by
one, into his office one day-flatter-
ing them that they were his best
workers, and promising them better
days if they would give up the
union. He also stated at this time

DOES WORK OF z
ON R.R. EXPRESS
Forenen Promoted by
Scabbing
By a Worker Correspondent
(Continued)

CHICAGO (By MaiD.-Some of
the union members working in the
American Railway Express were in
Quoted into the union by the toe of
boot or other coercive method and
as in all unions some are merely
members. But there are many, per-
haps a majority, of the membership
who know the predieament they are
in, who realize that the union does
fill the bill, who feel that the
slave driving, parasite feeding meth
DDS of the present system are all
wrong and that the remedy does not
lie in mere revisin of the wage scale
or dickering with corporation rep
sentatives.
Whether dealing with steady men,
90-day men or extras the motto of
the company seems to be "Give them
all they can bear" We have never
seen a workshop that exacts so
much. The number of men en-
ployed is the smallest possible to
keep the depots in operation. The
number of extras and 90-day men
has been reduced about 80 per cent
since the company changed hands
March 1. A few steady men have
quit and none hired in their place.
Try to Cause Bad Feeling.
Every effort is used to create bad
feeling between the steady men and
the extras. Most of the steady men
are car leaders, freight reuters or
value room men. Their knowledge
of the business puts them in a posi-
tion of directing the other men who
are designated platform men, most
of whom are extras. While the
foremen encourage the regular men
to help keep the extras busy, they
at the same time tell the extras that
he is being imposed on by the steady
thus creating enmity between the
two groups and preventing an un-
derstanding amongst them.
Do Two Mems Work.
Steady or extra, the men are all
kept busy every minute of their
time. AS near as possible each man
is forced to do two mems work.
The car leaders are kept at least 25
per cent short of the number needed.
Three freight reuters usually do the
work of five. The sorters, truckers
and other platform men never exceed
so per cent of the number needed
There is on an average one foreman
to every seven men.
These foremen are there to see
that an abundance is done. Very
little care is taken to handle ship
ments carefully.
Eggs, fruit, frail packages, bed
springs, castings and every conceiv-
able commodity are piled into one
heap by men who have no time to
use care because of the terrific
speed at which they are driven.
Don't Care For Mems Safety.
The company is careless of the
safety of the men. Heavy boxes,
crates, castings, ETC., are placed on
the four wheelers prmiscuously.
Enough men are never hired to do
this work properly and many are
hurt loading and unloading. The
steel plates or boards used as run
ways from platform to cars are
never properly secured and often
slip. In this way many are hurt and
some have been killed.
