Especial 10 tue OhaAf hVtANAt
BALTIMORE, July 10. =
A conference of longshorennen
adopted a program of action
in support of the West Coast
marine transport strikers and
it is expected that the men
will walk off the docks to-
morrow.
Today a delegation of seamen
and longsho-emen are visiting the
leaders of the A. F. of L. maritime
unions to demand a general strike.
If the demand is refused the men
say they will strike over the heads
of the leaders.
At meeting of longshoremen this
morning at which Leonard Patter-
son, Negro organizer, spoke, the
men repudiated the local LILA.
president who is trying to stop strike
action. The local president struck
Patterson of the box while he was
speaking. Patterson returned to the
speakers stand and took a vote Of
the men. They unanimously voted
against the action of the union
president.
Both the union president and
Patterson were arrested. Longshore-
men, Negro and white, came in
masses to defend Patterson in the
court. Patterson demanded a jury
trial. The lila. president was dis
missed when he asked for station
house trial.
Patterson is now out on 500 bail
and strike sentiment is spreadin~
rapidly along the waterfront.
Special to the Daily WORKER
BALTIMORE, Mr., July 10.--A
meeting was called yesterday in
front of the headquarters of The
International Longshoremens Asso-
citation to lay the basis for calling
a general strike of longshoremen in
the eastern ports in solidarity with
the west coast strikers.
Members of the LILA. were called
upon to demonstrate at the docks
where the SIS. Absoroka, a ship
carrying scab cargo from the west
coast, is berthed.
Ship Committee Urges Strike
By Ship Delegate No. 327
BOSTON, Mass, July 10. = The
ship committee of the President
Adams, a Dollar liner, due in New
York tomorrow, is urging the men
to strike in support of the Pacaflc
Coast strikers and for the immedi-
ate withdrawal of the last 10 per
cent wage cut.
Last Sunday port delegate Coe, OF
the Marine Workers Industrial
Union, was arrested when he came
aboard the ship to distribute leaf
lets calling for support of the Pa
ciflc Coast strike. Jesse Downing,
boatsWains mate, and William Sing
er. a seaman, both Dollar Line lick
spittles, appeared against Coo as
prosecuting witnesses. The case
was postponed.
The two company stool pigeons
are trying to defend their action
by saying that Coe and the Marine
Workers Industrial Union are both
red. But this is exactly the same
cry that the shipowners are raising
against the 10000 heroic marine
strikers on the west coast and their
argument therefore does not 60 over

Jeritza Scores Hit
In Concert
By RONALD THORNE

1t has been three seasons, &C.
cording to the records, since Nine.
Maria Jeritza has sung in Wash
ington. Consequently her return
to the Capital yesterday after
noon, when she appeared in re,
cital at Constitution Hall under
the local management Of the
Dorothy Hodgkin Dorsey bureau,
was an event Of more than ordi.
nary interest, and the good-sized
audience that gathered to greet
her received her so enthusiastic
ally that in addition to her pro-
gram she sang a number of en-
cores.
Jeritza is one Of the most
charming and attractive women
ever to grace the concert stage,
and this circumstance, no less
than her voice and her heroic size,
have made her a dominant person
ality. She was as delectable as
ever yesterday, becomingly cos
TUNED in a black gown with white
trimmings, and her pleasing man
neriSms, quite individual, added
further to the excellent impres-
sion she made upon her Washing.
ton admirers.
Her program was typical-two
groups Of German songs, the aria
Suicide" from La Gioconda," q
few French and English songs,
and the Viennese numbers she
sings so delightfully."-. Notable
among the last were two selec-
tions new to Washington, Kreis-
ler's Sissy" from his operetta Of
that name, and Benatzky's I'm
WeiSsen RoeSsl."
Although JeritZa was recently
suffering from a severe cold, and
possibly has not yet fully recov.
cred, she was in good voice,
though there was apparently q
tendency not to subject it to too
great efforts.
Sanford Schlussel, her accom-
panist, was heard in a series Of
piano selections, including one of
his own compositions, Chinese
Tango" which he played as an
encore. The 'Danse ritual de
feu" by de Falla was particularly
well done.

A program unique in concert
annals is announced for the Phil

t Constitution Hall on Tuesday

soloist in Bach's Violin Concerto
No. 2 in E major; Lalo's Spanish

a program composed of concertos
by Bah, Mozart and Beethoven.

ton concert will be Essay Do
browen, conductor of the San

"Dodsworth" a Hit
This departments touring rep
reSentative took in the evening
performance of Walter Huston
in "DodSworth" at Philadelphia
on Saturday night, and reports
as follows:
Sidney Howard has fashioned
an engrossing and compelling
play of Sinclair Lewis novel,
"Dodsworth." Walter Huston, who
is on the stage almost all the
time, and to a lesser degree
Fay Banter, carry the burden
Of the story.
"Dodsworth" is a drama Of
mixed species, both satire and
domestic tragedy. The two have
been combined into an evening
OF fine entertainment, which the
capacity audience Saturday night
The story concerns an Amer
1can business man and his wife,
on a European trip. The woman
becomes involved with pseudo-so-
phiSticateS, and is changed from
loving wife to an expatriate
full of Continental" ideas, and
Mortified at the thought Of mid
dle-age. The breach between
herself and her Still-American
husband widenS till the inevitable
ending, which is cleverly con-
trived and positive.
Huston gave a magnificent per-
tormance in the title role. The
screen has never been able to
exploit his talents as well. Fay
BANTER ran close second. The
supporting cast, numbering so,
included Maria Ouspenskaya and
Nan Sunderland CMrS. Walter
HuStonl.
The Lewis dialogue and plot
seem to have been retained for
the wealth of atmospheric de-
tail and sly satirical thrusts,
typical Of his work, are much
in evidence.
Max Gordon has staged the
play magnificently The II scenes,
nine different sets, are Joe Mielz-
iner's best work, all Of them
beautiful nd elaborate.
Opening night, of course, there
were a few bitches, there is need
Of cutting, but "Dodsworth"
seems destined for hit rating.
Whether or not it will come to
Washington before New York is
still in doubt. I hope it will, for
it is intelligent theater, splen-
didly acted.

Merle may alternate her pictures,

OF course, as soon as Henry"
was released there were many of.
fers for Miss Oberon from Holly

as she wanted, so she turned them
down. Then Doug Fairbanks, who
is about to start his production Of
Don Juan" in London wanted
her for his leading lady, but she
was still set on an American film,
so she turned him down.
Her refusal to play with Fair
banks caused a little bad blood"
between him and Korda, because
Doug thought the director had In
fluenced her in her decision.
Now Merle Oberon has accepted
an offer by Edward Small, head
Of Reliance Pictures in Hollywood,
and will be here soon to play the
feminine lead in ''The Count Of
Monte Cristo," and John Barry
more, no less, will be the Count.
Incidentally, Doug, senior, will
