CeO SaveDv Officers Incapable Labo, Holt Liner Vandyck Says SQ
"SoHtQiye' Deals With Life
IN Coney Island Sideshow

A PLAY that differs from produc-
- tions usually found on Broadway
is now at the Waldorf Theatre. 1t
is Solitaire, by Frederick Rath and
Koby Coin.
The central figure of the play is
a Coney Island midget. His mar
riage to boardwalk gold digger
and the tragic result are the basis
of the plot. Well written and cap
ably acted most of the time, it de-
velops into neatly knit cross-sec-
ton of part of contemporary life
seldom touched. The audience is
interested throughout the play. AL
tho it is billed as a comedy-drama,
the later section of the designation
alone, is more appropriate.
Major Bobby, a freak in one of
Coney Islands numerous sideshows
is more or less vamped into mar
riage by local girl, who is look
ing for meal ticket.
His best pal, strong man of the
same show with the major, attempts
to prevent the marriage.
The latter girl finds she is tired of
being tied down with the midget, so
she and lifeguard decide to elope
to Chicago. The lifeguard taunts
Major Bobby on the eve of the de-
parture. The midget in a rage then
shoots the lifeguard dead. The
majors friends attempt to shoulder
the blame for the murder. Major
Bobby refuses, and when repre-
sentative of the district attorneys
office arrives on the scene tells in
detail the history of the murder.
The play ends when the assistant
district attorney informs the midget
that no jury would convict him. 1t
sounds unreal and is the weakest
part of the play.
The part of the midget is played
well by Master" Gabriel, who is
realistic in a difficult role. The
strong man is portrayed by Carl
Ekstrom, who according to lobby
gossip is a Strong man" in real
life. The girls role is we'll handled
by Dorothy Guthern, while Ryder
Kean is convincing as the lifeguard.
AS a maid, Olive Burgoyne, a
Negro, attracts the audience when
ever she is on the stage.

'RAY0N SCABS
HARD TO Get
Whole Town Roofing
for Strikers
by Worker Correspondent

by q Worker Correspondent
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, (By Mail) i.
The most important labor event in
Tennessee is the strike of the rayon
workers in Elizabethton, near john
son City.
! About 1,700 rayon workers struck
when Arthur Mothwurf, president of
the Glanzstoff Corporation, refused
to raise the wages of the workers.
The factory is completely shut down.
Most of the strikers are women.
Some workers did not go on strike
Immediately but they were locked
out by the company.
The officialdom of the A. F. of
l.. asked the strikers to return to
work. The strikers repudiated them
and said that they would stay out
until their demands were granted.
Women make up to $11.58 week
and men to S2081 a week. The
women work 81 hours week and the
men Sc hours week. An injunction
was issued to the company which
is aimed to prevent picketing.
Can't Get Scab Guards.
Sheriff Moreland said he was I'M
able to get scab guards since all the
workers in town are in sympathy
with the strikers.
The meetings of the strikers are
very lively. Last Wednesday the
strikers and their sympathizers pa
raded thru the streets of the town.
After the parade they held a meet
ing in the Carter County Tabernacle.
At that meeting Attorney General
Robert Allen urged the strikers to
return to work. He gave as the rea-
son that "the strike is not author
lied by bona fide' labor organiza-
ton" The strikers turned down the
attorney general.

CRAFT FOR JOB

bers' rank and file time and again
The international is honeycombed
with graft; not only the interna-
tional but the locals have to stand
all kinds of corruption from the of
ficials.
Must Pay Graft for Jobs.
Local $50 in the Bronx is case ir
point. The officials and then
henchmen run everything to suit
themselves; if you don't belong to
the clique that supports these mis-
leaders, you have hard time get
ting work; to get work you have to
vote for the officials or pay the
business agent $40 or more, as many
BARRIERS charge.
If you want to get a job, as you
are entitled to, without paying graft
for it, you are starved out.
Any barber who dares to COM
plain about this graft system runs
the risk of being beaten up by the
officials thugs. One barber who
went to the president of the local,
Quinto, and reported how business
agent demanded a shake-down for
job, was beaten up by the bust
ness agent, who was present. Quinto
did not protest. Quinto looked on
during the beating and said nothing.
Quinto is a member of the Social
list" party. This Socialist" instead
of furnishing the dishonest business
agent, had charges of insulting the
official brought against the barber,
and fined him $500, and thus the
barber was expelled.
The officials levy all sorts of new
taxes against the membership. They
tax US SIS for "strike fund.-" but,
instead of calling a strike, they sell
us out, as happened last May. They
kept the "strike fund" tax-we got
a reduction of So in wages.
A strong, militant union of the
journeymen BARRIERS will end all this
graft and kick these grafters out.
Then we will fight the bosses for
better conditions and wages, and win
it. JOURNEYMAN.

was wrecked near st. Johns. N. F..
The vessel was owned by Clyde

been more interested in profits than
in precautions for the sailors.

that Lake, himself an owner Of fish

crews, who are forced to make their
living by going to sea in unsafe
boats.
