ton, the company union of the

conditions under its leadership. The

cloakmakers, when the "strike" is
called, to report to the left wing
halls, which will be the National

Hall, SO st. Marks Place, and Man
sion Hall, 81 st. Marks Place. These
halls have capacity of over $500.

the l. L. G. w. U. "We will pack
these halls, and it may be necessary
to hire more halls. Furthermore
they will be used to check up and
register the strikers, who will be
coming and going all day long.
There will be showdown that will
demonstrate that the right. wing is
bankrupt financially and organiza-
tionally," Joseph Boruchowitz, man
ager Of the Joint Board, said.

HAMPTON AWAY
Kidnapped from South
to North Carolina

GASTONIA, N. c., June ze. -
Another strike leader is arrested and
charged with murder. De!mar
Hampton, an active textile striker of
Gastonia was jailed in Gaffney,
South Carolina, at 10 A. NJ. this
morning, and held until P. M. in
the afternoon, when he was handed
over to three carloads of deputies
from Gastonia, in charge of Sheriff
Lineberger, and carried without ex-
tradition papers to the Gastonia
jail.
Hearing news of his arrest, the
International Labor Defense inn
mediately sent its representative,
Paul Crouch, from Charlotte to
South Carolina, but he arrived after
Hampton had been carried away.
Juliet Stuart Poyntz, national sec
retary of the LID, is leaving this
evening from Charlotte for Gastonia
with the LIDS attorneys, to de-
mand Hampton's release on the
grounds of lack of evidence and the
fact that he vas kidnapped from
South Carolina.

The South Carolina Federation of
Labor meeting in Spartanburg, has
refused to pass a resolution sub

strikers now IN Jail being framd up

Speakers declared that, though
they are against the National Tex
tile Workers Union, the federation
would not go on record in any way
that will interfere with the defense
of the strikers in Jail or the Loray
strike.

suited in the shooting of Chief of
police Aderholt, who led the raiders.
Poyntz today visited the strikers
in Gastonia Jail, and found them all
in good spirits, and resolute in their
loyalty to the strike and the union.

local business man today notified
several strikers that he had been
approached by members of the
"ch amber of commerce" crowd with
definite proposal that he join a
new secret organization to "rid the
old Tar Heel state" of all union or
ganiZers.
The plan as explained to this man,
is to utilize the hired gunmen of
the Manville Jenckes textile mills
company, especially a group to be
imported from the northern proper

Chicago gangster tactics to the old
familiar lynch law methods,

THOUSAND A DAY
NEEDED TO SAVE
M ILL WORKERS
Defense Reports Much
Help; Not Enough

With the trial of ID Gastonia tex
tile strikers and strike leaders on
charges of murder, tentatively set
for July 20, the Importance of speed
in raising defense funds is being en-
phasized by the International Labor
Defense whose nationwide campaign
in behalf of the Gastonia frameup
victims is enlisting thousands of
workers and sympathizers with the
struggles of labor.
One thousand dollars a day is the
amount needed, the National Office
of the l. L. D. announces. The secur-
ing of an adequate corps of defense
lawyers to combat the ID leading
North Carolina attorneys who are in
the employ of the Manville-J -Jenckes
Company's courts and are determined
to send every one of the ID framed
men and women to the electric chair;
the bailing out of the eight workers
who are facing charges of assault
with intent to kill; the countless
other legal expenses involved in
trial of this size and importance
necessitate the raising of many
thousands of dollars, the I. L. D.
points out.
Many Small Contributions.
Though the response thus far to
the emergency appeal of the l. L. D.
has zen good, it is still far below
the $1,000 day that is needed.
Among the contributions received
Saturday were $72.76 collected at the

MUSICAL NIT
 0PENSPALACE
 WITH TALKIES
Broadway Melody Given First Presentation
 Large Audiences

The all-talking, all dancing, al cinging Broadway Melody a real musical comedy of feature length, opened at the Palace last night, | iraugurating talkies" at Dalton and Pitshmann's theatre. Long before the talkie comedy and Mot rotcne News were through, every .cat in the Palace was occupied, standing room was at premium and Q line was waiting at the box office window for the second show. A better bill for the opener could hardly be selected and that Juneau theatre fans like music was shown by the attendance at Broadway Melody" on the opening night. Che of the high spots of the musical comedy is "The Wedding of The Painted Doll" in technicolor with flashy chorus, splendidly cos- tuned, novelty dancing numbers and the melody of the song heard.
 Broadway Melody" is one of the catchy selections sung by enter tainers everywhere and there is perhaps not an orchestra in the land that does not have the num- Der among the specially requested selections. You Were Meant For Me" while perhaps not as popular ly known, made 8 hit as did the theme song and the tcchnicolor se- lection.
 | Charles King is the leading male character with Bessie Love and Anita Page featured as the girl 1 principals.
 Broadway Melody carries the audience from the try-outs of song hits, through rehearsals on the drab atage, to the dress rehsarsals with all the serious and comedy in cidents thereto, until the musical comedy is ready for the opening night. Trials of stage managers and others, chorus girl squa5bles, and hundred and one other sidc- lights are deftly woven into the story of two girls, sister team playing the small towns, going to Broadway and attempting the rush act" on the big time business. There they met the man, both have known in former days, who has made his big New York hit. The love story that has developed, takes a new turn and there is just a lit tie bit of pathos, with sprinkling of tragic as well as comedy touches, that do not detract in the least from the musical comedy atmos- phere.
 Broadway Melody" is all about theatrical life, back stage, up in the fly lofts, in the orchestra pit, stage door crashers, angels" after the show parties, humor, drama, TO- nance and action.

JACK HOLT IN TALKIE AT COLISEUM TONIGHT

No higher tribute could be paid to a film drama than that it en- tertains from the opening scene to the conclusion-and this is the case with "The Donovan Affair" the Columbia 100 per cent dialogue pro- duction which opens at the Coli scum tonight.
 The screen version of the famous stage play of the $ me name by Owen Davis fairly scintillates with sparkling action and scintillating dialogue. The cast is large, and every name well known. It in- cludes such prominent players as Jack Holt, Dorothy Revier, William Collier, Jr., Agnes Ayres, John Roche, Fred Kelsey and Virginia Brown Faire.
 The screen story is logical and consistently worked out. The au- dience will follow the clues with keen interest, but not one in a thousand will guess the solution or the identity of the killer The act ing is admirable throughout. Jack Holt gives clean-cut performance as Inspector Killian. the detective. Miss Revier is delightful in the role of the heroine. The clever dia- logue and natural voice reproduction make "The Donovan Affair the best all talking picture made So far.
