Textile Strikers

CHARLOTTE, N. c., Dec. 12,-
The Leaksville Wooden Mill, at
Homestead near here, whose 200
workers have been on strike for
weeks now under the leadership Of
the National Textile Workers Union,
has cut off the light and water III
the company houses occupied by the
strikers, and will proceed immedi-
ately to evict them.
While still in these houses, the
strikers are forced to carry water
up hill for considerable distance.
Two Of the strikers babies are
sick with pneumonia, and eviction
probably means their death unless
adequate relief is secured soon.
The need for aid is increasing.
The Workers International Relief,
949 Broadway New York City, IS
asking for contributions to save the
lives of the LeaksVille strikers, and
win their strike.

paid for only two days. When he
inquired about it the fore-woman
explained that "they probably do
not pay for Wednesday," and that
Wednesday, she supposes, goes on
the next week. After working there
for three months he discovered that
the week begins on Thursday morn
ing.
This particularly helps the bosses
as in the busy season they employ
many girls, and when the rush is
off all extra help is fired. Saving
a days wages on several thousand
girls a year is not bad income at
all for the bosses.

National Bellas Hess Company meet

prove their business and make more

of the National Bellas Hess Com
pany do not meet to discuss their
problems and for this reason do not
know how DO run their business.
Fellow workers! Learn from the
bosses. They are organized and for
that reason are strong. Only by
organization will we workers be
able to fight against the treacherous
schemes of the bosses. Organization

"Diama' Does Not DO Justice
TO Work OF LsQdOrQ Duncan


Isadora Duncan is the central
character of Irving Kay Davis play,
DIANA" now at the Longacre The
atre. Out of the town the play was
known as "Isadora," but shortly be-
fore its Broadway showing the name
was changed, although no effort is
made to hide the fact that it is
based on the life and loves Of the
great dancer.
1t is difficult to adequately judge
a play such as this Immediately
after seeing it. 1t is not a good
play. Neither does it do justice to
the great dancer.
Those who are familiar with the
stormy career Of Miss Duncan will
find themselves well acquainted
with the plot. While it does not
follow exactly the life Of the dancer
Certain changes being made for
dramatic effect) in substance it is
an accurate portrayal of her life
and sorrows.
There is very little that can be
added. Mary Nash plays the role
of the dancer, and while perhaps, is
not the best fitted for the role,
gives a fairly satisfactory perform
ance. Somehow, something is lack
ing in Miss Nash's performance.
What it is, is just as difficult to
discover, as what is lacking in
Davis play. Just as Isadora Dun
cans life was full of mystery and
disappointment, SO is the play that
is based on her life.

Toxic Concerned" but Not Enough.
TOXIC, Dec. 12.-Japanese au-
thorities, who have supervised the
Chinese militarists and Russian
white guards in their attacks on the
Soviet frontier up till he time when
the Red Army swept them back
and penetrated Manchuria in pur-
suit, are expressing concern at
what they say is the 'poor reports
of what is going on in western Man
churia, where the Red Army adj
vanced.
Japan has some japanese "sub-
jects" around Manchuli and other
border towns, among them several
hundred Koreans, who are undoub-
teddy very happy to escape from
japanese Concern over their well
fare and gain the status of Soviet
citizens.
Since the Chinese generals who
hurried eastward at the time the
Red Army advanced, somehow lost
their entire armies and arrived alb
solutely alone at Hardin, Japan does
not disguise its concern at the
state of things west Of the Khing-
han mountains. 1t has consul al
Manchuli, which used to be in Man
churia, and it claims that few of
his kilograms arrive, that the one
which came today was sent through
Moscow and didn't seem to tell
them anything they wanted to know
In view Of the report at the time
the protocol was signed between the
Japanese-backed Mukden govern.
ment of Manchuria and the Soviet
that the Red Army would retire if
and when Mukden carried out the
terms of the agreement it signed,
the guileless Surprise" feigned by
the japanese at learning, according
to report, that the Red Army still
holds everything west Of Hailar,
can be discounted a great deal. Tn.
doubtedly, if Japan will only ex-
press its concern in getting its Muk-
den puppet to carry out the terms
agreed to, Toxic authorities might
not have to worry so much about
what the situation is in western
Manchuria.
