the beautiful mansions are the idle
rich who do nothing else but go
to their summer homes in the sum-
ner time, and to Townsville
when it gets cool.
A few blocks away from these
mansions one gets into the section
called 'white trash" and then to the
section where the Negro workers
live Then you get an entirely differ
ent picture Of the CITY of Flowers"
Here workers live in horrible look
ing shacks, their walls pasted up with
newspapers; they pay IS per month
for rent. (Of course, it goes without
saying that the rich ladies would not
keep their dogs there,)
over 600 colored men work in the
sawmills from in the morning till
6 in the evening for 81 per day.
Others work in the cotton fields for
so cents per hundred pounds. The
women and girls work in the homes
of the Zine ladies'; S. a week is the
highest any worker can make for
doing the cooking, washing, scrub
bling, and taking care of the children.
Even with all members of the
fcrnily working for 'the white folks
il is impossible to make ends meet
en- these mecgre wages, with the re-
suit that many wives and daughters
are forced further to pander to the
lusts of the bosses by prostituting
themselves.
The workers, Negro and white, are
beginning to talk organization
against these unbearable conditions,
and are beginning to realize that only
by militant action and united strug-
gle can they overcome the terrific
exploitation to which both white and
Negro workers are subjected.

industrial Union Urges the
Strikers to Control

NEW YORK-Open revolt of the
militant workers of Carnegie dress
shop against the sell-out of their part
of the strike by Draisin, Schlesinger
and Dubinsky is the order of the day.
The Carnegie shop strikers. $50
strong, through their shop committee,
have rejected the pact made Wednes-
day by Draisin with the boss for no
raise in wages. no agreement, divi-
sion of the mems shop from the

the shop chairman's rights.
Draisin appeared before the bosses
in the name of a mythical Strike
Advisory Board" and signed the SELL
out The terms" outlined above are
openly admitted by Draisin. The
Needle Trades Workers Industrial
Union has information, which it pub
hshed in leafiet form, that Draisin
also secretly agreed to reorganization
and discharges, which he does not
dare admit to the membership.

Draisin & Co. have taken down the
strike signs, ordered the strikers back

strike is misled.
The Industrial Union both before
and during the strike pointed out
that. the l. l.. G. w. officials had
allowed no discussion by the mem
bers, that they sought to prevent the
spread of the strike, that they were
secretly negotiating. even before the
strike, for its betrayal.

support of the Socialists and
A. F. of L. rnisleaders. What
has been the result for the TN
employed? Not one jot different
from the Hoover program.
In every part of the country there
are similar Murphys asking the
workers to vote for them, with prom
ises to solve unemployment, or to
give them relief.
Murphy's regime in Detroit has
turned out to be one of the best
means of the bosses to fight against
the demands of the unemployed.
The registration of the unemployed
workers in Detroit, which was car
ried through by the fake unemploy-
ment committee organized by Mayor
Murphy. has-r revealed the fact that
there are around 100000 unemployed
workers in the city of Detroit, and
around 250,600 in Greater Detroit, in
Guiding Hamtramck, Highland Park,
Dearborn and Fordson, which are in
dustrial towns. According TO the
registration, 10000 families have
registered, and the capitalist press is
compelled to admit that this includes
approximately over 100000 unem-
ployed. This does not include the
part time workers and the workers
who are temporarily laid off from the
factories. The number of unenl-
ployed workers is much larger than
expected.
According to the registration, over
$4,000 unemployed demanded i'm
mediate relief-bread. clothing and
shelter. The Murphy COMMITTEES
openly admitted that it will be, i'm
possible to take care of the great
number of the unemployed. s-s
The capitalist press. while changing
their attitude toward Murphy, openly
admits that lots of trouble can be ex~
pected from the Murphy promises.
which cannot be carried through and
is beginning to prepare the unen1.
ployed workers that they should not
expect too much, because they will
be disappointed.

MILWAUKEE, JOBLESS
EAT ON GARBAGE DUMP

MILWAUKEE,, Oct. q Twelve
more workers were fired by the
Andres Stone and Marble Co. in
new speed-up drive. Some of these
men have been working in this place
for 10 or more years. In all plants
in Socialist Milwaukee, workers are
being laid off daily, and the ranks of
the unemployed grow. Those left on
the job are being speeded up.
Jobless men and women can be seen
searching the city dumps for garbage
to keep them from starving. The
Communist Party, in its election cam
paign here, is exposing the Socialist
takers who send the unemployed to
the city dumps when they demand
unemployment insurance.

Platinum led in consumption of these rare

averaging SGT an ounce and with a high of
$110 and low Of $50. Palladium was second.
with 1885 ounces used, at an average cost of
$50 an ounce. But it remained for iridium, of
which $3.50 ounces were used, to set the high
price record. The lowest price for the year
was $3.50 an ounce, with the average $229 an
ounce and the top price $3.50 an ounce.

For these four exacting roles
the Guild facility for congenial
and competent casting is again
apparent. The art of Elizabeth
Risdon as applied to the ex-
hauStive and emotional role of
the perturbed Nina Leeds is a
JOY to watch. It is hard to
conceive Of her as a recent re-
placement so complete and as
Sured is her self effac Gment in
a role that demands much and
demands it almost continuously
for five hours. Frank Conroy,
a splendid actor, who has juSJ
stepped into the role of DR..
Ned Darrell, paints it with such
sympathetic and tender shades
it generates a wealth Of appeal.
No less effective was George
Gaul as the Uncle Charlie
Marsden," Sketched as a love
able slave, burdened with a
dog-like devotion for Nina
which remains singularly unap-
preciated in the journey from
youth to senility. The Sam
Evans of Blaine Cordner was
slightly tarnished for this critic
by a slipShoddinesS in apply
ing makeup for the stimulation
Of middle age. And If Sam is
to represent the prosperous
business man it Is time that
the Guild bought him q ward
robe befitting wealth.
In the scenic production, this
"Interlude" is not striking. In
deed the library scene is a
shabby introduction to O'Neill.
But why quibble over minor de-
tails. There is the opportunity
for an evening with O'Neill at
his greatest and an actress who
can stand and be counted with
the best the modern stage can
exhibit.

BLOSSOM TIME
FLOWERS in
FAREWELL

Those who saw the Franz

sons ago may attend It's fare
well offering at Polls this week
with the assurance that 1t has
lost not one whit If its original
charm and beauty. Unlike most
operettaS which have enjoyed
a tenure far above the average,
it wends its way towards its
final resting place in some OBJ
scure storehouse with it's luster
undimmed. In cast and pre-
Sentation the present offering
is of the highest standard.
AS almo every theatergoer
knows by now. Blossom Time"
presents the one Short-lived and
hopeless romance in the brief
life of Franz Schubert and is
the means by which Sigmund
Romberg has cleverly inter
woven the melodies Of some Of
the great Viennese composers
best known songs-his "Sere-
nade," Unfinished Symphony"
and Ave Maria" which will be
known as long as the literature
Of music exists.
In the character Of the un-
romantic figure fairly consumed
by romance-Schubert-Knight
MacGregor enacts an already
sympathetic role with consum-
mate skill. While the operatta
makes no great vocal demands
on this character, Mr.. Mac
Gregor nevertheless gives un.
miStakable evidence of O voice
of strength and beauty. Gene.
We've Naegele as Mitzi is cap
tivating and charming. Equally
enjoyable are the roles of Baron
Won Schober and Bellabruna as
portrayed and sung by Herbert
Lyle and Nell Jewell, while Rob-
ert Lee Allen makes much Of
the richly comic Kranz.
One may see Blossom Time"
for a second or even third time,
but to revel in the charm Of
its melody and regret that
others of its kind do not come
this way more often.-ARRO.
