President william Green of the American Fedora
ton Of Labor seems to have hit the nail squarely
on the head when he remarked that his organization
would prefer steady jobs to unemployment insurance.
1T is only a step from compulsory unemployment
insurance to the dole" he told an interviewer recent
~. The best, the real remedy for unemployment is
employment. We want jobs, not charity
Mr. Green believes that this goal can be reached
through the establishment Of shorter working days
and shorter working weeks and through a systematic
balancing of production with demand, which would
eliminate what is called cylical unemployment
There is sound sense in that Unemployment in
surance is only a palliative. Mr.. Green is right in
preferring a remedy that goes to the roots Of the
matter.

Broadway First Nights Look Like
Professional Asatincss- With All
These Actors and Actresses Out
OF Work.
NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-Manhat
tan's widely advertised first night
show crowds have undergone some
thing Of a change In the early days
Of the new season.
To be sure most of the old-time
first night critics are there. but one
notices the number OF actors and
actresses who, in harder times,
would be worrying about their own
shows. Just now, with even the best
and most famous of performers
waiting for a show and praying for
q rehearsal. it's not uncommon TO
see a score of celebrated stage fig
ures who. at this season Of the
year. should not find time for CAD
ding about.
Several openings have given the
appearance OF a professional mat
inee"-and there Is nothing dearer
to the actors heart than To strut
his stuff before his fellows az one
Of these specially arranged per-
formances when only gentlemen
and ladies of the stage are present.

audience and catches Irene Frank

Are They Using Poison Now?

It Is more than usually startling To learn that poison
caused the death Of state Senator John t. Joyce in
Chicago - who died. you may remember, two days
before ne vas 10 have testified concerning gangland
activities at the polls in the spring primaries.
just at present the man on the street cannot quite
tell whether this poison was self-administered or not:
in other words, whether Senator Joyce committee
suicide or was murdered.
If the latter proves the case, Chicagos gangs must
be given credit for a new bit OF ingenuity. Hereto
fore the revolver. the machine gun and the bomb
have been their weapons. Are they, now. becoming
prisoners as well?
