being done through the ordinary sys-
TEN of promotions whereby outstand-
ing merit is recognized. Anyhow,
whatever may be the reason, some OF
the boys are getting a break. There
are at present, slightly more than four
thousand men employed on the dam
project, many of those are overhaul
ing dredging and other machinery,
preparatory to resumption of outside
spring operations. There are about
fifteen hundred men employed in the

He expects the peak of employment
this summer to approximate six thou
sand men. The peak for 1884 and 1885
was slightly in excess of seven thousand

Blue Eagle to saw their system from
collapse. Through 1888 big business
continued to support the New Deal.
There were exceptions, of course, but
by and large the country was behind
the president.
The scene changed in 1884 and 1885.
The worst of the depression was over.
The farmers and the unemployed had
ceased to agitate and threaten. Pro-
duction was rising. The stock market
climbed steadily. Profits were 40 per
cent higher in 1885 than they had been
in 1884. Big business was. out of the
woods and it acted accordingly,
Big business had used its left in 1882
and 1888. In 1885 the time had come
for it to use its right. William Ran
dolph Hearst, the highest salaried man
in the United States, led off with a red
scare. Suits were entered against the
NRA, the utilities act, the AAA The
Liberty League swung into action. The
National Manufacturers Association
made a frontal attack on the policies of
the Roosevelt Administration. The Su-
preme Court did its best by declaring
unconstitutional one feature after an
other Of the New Deal.

Big Business, More Sc
cure, Leads With Right
Instead Of With the Lek

American big business was in a jam
in 1882. The national income had de-
clined so per cent in three years. Elk
port trade had fallen off by two-thirds
Stock values had collapsed. Bond val
ues had shrunk to such a-degree that
banks and insurance companies were
authorized to carry them on their books
at the purchase price in order to avoid
insolvency.
Despite such subterfuges, during the
one year Of 1882, $1,000 businesses
failed, farmers were eyicted wholesale
and the number Of unemployed rose tc
a total Of from IA to II millions.
In the early months OF 1888, state
governors began to suspend banking
operations in order to prevent a genera
panic run, universal boarding, and a
complete collapse of credit. Local re-
lief funds were exhausted The unem-
ployed and the veterans organizations
were centers of seething unrest
Mississippi valley farmers were in open
revolt. When Roosevelt was inaugu-
rated on March 4, 1888, the United
States was on the edge of a social vol
cano.
Big business was in a jam, and the big
businessmen knew it, They called upon
the new president and the federal gov
eminent to "do something" In the
language Of the prizefighter and Of the
revolutionist, they used their left.
The new administration acted with
vigor and determination. 1t took con-
troll OF the banks loaned billions to tot

for direct relief to the unemployed; be-
gan an extended system Of public

Senior Play In
Final Stages
OF Rehearsal

Variety is the keynote Of the
Senior. play, 1.-THE Queens Hus-
band" The old description "from
the ridiculous to the sublime" is
remarkably portrayed in the role
of the King. As he changes his
mien from the checker-playing
figurehead to the true ruler of his
people the audience will be held
s%pellbound.
The production staff has a very
difficult job on its hands, espe-
cially those concerned with pro-
perties and sound effects. When
the revolutionist uprising begins
and the firing opens, the bugle calls
whistles and drumbeats, will add
atmosphere to the tense situation
of the plot making the horror and
bloodshed more realistic. The SET
ting remains the same throughou,
the play. 1t is the private office
of King Eric VIII in the palace OF
a fictitious kingdom located some
where in Europe.
Mr. Sherwood wrote "The
Queens Husband as a satire on
the American visit of Queen
Marie, of Roumania, several years
ago. The comic element is CEN
tered in the character of the King
who is dominated by his wife's
fancy until he -. Well the best
thing that can be told now is that
the play will be presented in dress
rehearsal on Friday night, May p,
for the Blue Masque members and
will be ready for public presenta-
ton on Monday, May 18th. Don't
fail to see it!
