was nervous (and reliable reports have
it that he was) it was never more than
momentarily noticeable. 1t was quite
a thing he made of the different young
idealist-reporter who snagged the Ca

truth to the latter's attitude toward
the masses.
X X X X
IAN MCLEAN plays the politician To
his last breath he should remem-
ber the kindness of Messrs. Bruno and
Bride. That is because they gave him
a first act curtain which must have
been one of the best reasons for the
guilds production of the play. 1t
finds him making a speech full of
golden words about love for "the least
of these" just after he has kicked
down stairs the poor woman who asked
consideration for herself and the dog,
Patsy.
The woman kicked down stairs,
Mrs. Flanagan in the play but Sarah
Allgood in life, plays a part akin to
those she learned to play while a
member of the Abbey Theater, Dublin.
Nothing more should need be said
about Miss Allgood.
Then there was Claudia Morgan,
who not only is prettier than ever but
who deals quite handily with the test
ing part of the wife of that big lout
who did not like dogs.

Guild has given it. Not that, nor the
happy circumstance that it is staged
with traditional guild thoroughneSs.
The authors. Bruno Frank, originally,
and James Bride as adapter, must be
given some credit, though their inspi-
ration seems more delirious than
divine quite frequently during the
evening. They certainly do get their
laughs.
The Guild, indeed, seems to have put
the critics on the spot with this, the
sixth play of its season. If those who
appraise the drama for little pieces of
silver are inclined to profundity, they
can feel quite morbid over the tech
nical inadequacies of Storm Over
Patsy" There remains, however, the
possibility that the public in its head
strong way will enjoy the thing. 1t
is more of a strain on the laughter
muscles than on the mind, but that is
a type of writing for which play
makers are not lynched, even in this
enlightened period.
X
EVEN were it more pointed drama,
Storm Over Patsy would be too
long. Not being about anything in
particular, there is quite bit too
much second act to the play. 1t will
be doctored and so will the third. If
they can save time and increase accent
without losing laughs in the process,
the play surgeons will have some
thing-something amusing if one must
be specific.
You can't really like dogs without
correlative affection for Storm Over
Patsy" 1t is concerned with the
wrecking of promising political
career all because the careerist is
stupidity cruel in impounding a poor
woman's dog for non-payment of taxes.
Before Mr. Bride and his protagonists
are through with that public official,
1t is pretty thoroughly demonstrated
that politicians had better put dogs
as well as babies on their kissing lists.

The Mail Must 60 THROUGH

FEDERAL warrants were issued
at Cleveland for six c. l. o.
leaders in the strike at Youngs-
town and Warren, charging them
with preventing delivery of the
United States mails to loyal en-
ployees of the steel company plants
there. Their names were not re-
vealed.
The order for the obtaining Of the
warrant was given by Attorney-Gen-
eral Homer S. Cummings after he
had looked over testimony at the
senate post Office committees hear
ing. Charges have been made that
c. /. o. leaders were censoring the
mail in Ohio cities and refusing to
permit delivery of parcel post pack
ages containing food, clothing and
other irregular" articles for work
ers in the plants.
"All mail that the post Office de-
partment sees fit to attempt to
deliver must be delivered" said
Cummings. This did not conflict
with the post Office departments
refusal to deliver packages to the
plants, but sought to prosecute per-
sons who would prevent the delivery
of mail the department had okayed.

Steel furnaces Glow Again

DLANTS of the independent steel
L corporations in Pennsylvania and
Ohio were once more operating as
state troopers kept the peace. Vio-
lence among strikers, workers and
police dwindled to a handful of hand
to hand fights in which injuries were
comparatively few.
With Gov. George H. Earle hav-
ing lifted martial law in Johns
town, Pa. it was estimated that
nearly half the $4,000. workers Of
the Bethlehem Steel corporations
great Cambria plant were back on
the job.
1t was apparent that the real
grip Of the strike had been broken.
Mayor Daniel Shields declared it
was all over, but there were still
about $50 pickets on hand. The day
before the plant re-opened the c. l.
O., in last-minute attempt to save
its cause, promised mass meet
ing near Johnstown Of $4,000 min
erS who would then AID the steel
strikers in keeping the plants closed.
Only about 1900 showed up, and
after listening to speeches by union
leaders they dispersed peaceably.
Plants of the Republic Steel cor
poration and Youngstown Sheet &
Tube company in Ohio's Mahoning
valley. where half Of the total num-
bers of state militiamen were pro-
tecting the public peace, again were
operating. Steel plants in Chicago
were preparing to reopen. Still none
Of the Independent steel corpora
tions had signed contracts with c.

d UDGET trouble is bothering
II France in a seriou, way; in
fact it led 20 the resIEration Of
Premier Leon Blum and his Peo-
ple's Front government. to be sue
ceeded by Camille Chautemps. One
Of Chautemps' first acts was to ap-
point Georges Bonnet, ambassador
to the United States. as minister Of
finance, with orders to begin
attempts to balance the budget.
Bonnet's first moves were to close
the stock exchange and suspend for
eign exchange and commercial pay
ments pending decision on whether
or not he would be made an eco
nomic dictator temporarily.
France, like the United States,
operates on two budgets-ordinary
and extraordinary. Frances deficit
in her ordinary budget, as estimat-
ed by retiring Finance Minister Vim
cent Auriol, is about 5000, ,000, 900,
and the deficit in her extraordinary
budget approximately $1,000, ,000,-
900. Rene Brunei, Bonnets under
secretary, said they could be bal
anced in three years.
Most of the expenditures from the
extraordinary budget are for de-
fense.

Mediation Board Gives Up

tempt to negotiate settlement in

Its chairman, Charles P. Taft Of

bers, Lloyd Garrison. former pres
ident Of the national labor relations
board, and Edward F. McGrady,
trouble-shooting assistant of Mime.
Perkins, were unable even to per-
suade Tom Girdler, Eugene Grace
and other steel officials to sit around
a conference table at which union
leaders were present. The board
explained its failure, THE only hope
of settlement! lies in such a meet
ing"
In criticizing the companies for
their stand the board said, Nothing
can be made clearer today than
that management and organized la
Dor. when it really represents the
wishes of the men, have got to
learn how to live together, to reach
agreements and to abide by them

Steel officials handed Taft writ
ten resume of their stand, that they
would not make any agreement with
Lewis irresponsible" c. l. o. They
admitted that the Wagner act might
force them to negotiate with the
union. but declared another law pro-
vides that no one need make a con-
