Barrymore Colt, who represents the fifth
generation of the famous Barrymore
Drew family in the theater. The original
plan was that Miss Colt was to wait for
Miss Barrymore's second production of the
season, but the daughter persuaded her
mother to let her first appear in Scarlet

their vision in the first three sets, but
both played with amazing skill. Tilden

Is less errors during the five sets.
The inability Of Coen and Cogges-

first two sets by breaking down Coen's
offerings and won the match when
Coggeshall yielded his twice in the nth.

ROCKFORD, Ill-In the National

every other week, and and half
hours a day.
In the last two weeks in November
the highest paid workers, who work
on the stagger system made about
$40. With full force the compe ny
employed 1900 workers, but now it
is not more than 400 or 500 working
there. One of the bosses at Rock
ford National Lock Co. used to hang
around at our mass meetings last
spring in order to find out if any
workers from National Lock were
present. If he saw anyone, this
worker was fired the next morning.
He got little to much at one meet

At this shop is many women work

QUESTIONABLE.
A little while ago the company
handed out some blanks for the
workers to fill out, on these blanks
were all kinds of questions if your
wife or husband is working, if you
own any property, if you have your
house paid for or how much you owe
on your house. One worker said ut
is funny that they don't want to
know how many corns we have on
our feet"
Some time ago the Swedish Com

exposing the rotten conditions in this
factory, and the bosses were then
searching around all over the shop
in order to get hold of that worker
who dared to expose the conditions.
