ton of the play that its charac-
tiers were more symbol than hui
man. It is the obvious purpose
of Silverstein's direction that this
must not be allowed to happen
here. He allows members OF his
cast to 60 to any lengths to es-
tablish their identity as individ-
ualS.
In a few cases, redeemingly
enough, this works out rather
we'll. It is quite happily true. for
instance. in the case of Michael
Higgins as John Proctor. Miller's
protagonist and the simple Sa-
lem farmer who sanely keeps in
sisting the town harlot is the
inspirer of the community's
panic. The same is to be noted
in Olive Dunbar's portrait of
Elizabeth Proctor, a soft-spoken
Christian stalwart; of Angela

saw. It is a passionate memoir
of Salem's famous witchcraft
epidemic in 1892 by the author
of Death of A Salesman" Both
its authorship and its theme, so
full of contemporary overtones,
make it inevitably tempting to a
repertory theater that has whiled
away summer in anything so
frivolous. even if successful, as
Room Service"
However, with all due respect
to Author Miller and Arenas yen
to shore up gaps in the COM
munity'S culture. at least one
patron wishes the temptation
had been resisted.
This uction of 1.-THE
Crucible." directed by Elliot
SilverStein, who is new to the
local scene. is not a felicitous
one. Granting that its theme is
homicidal hysteria, by the time
Arenas company has finished
super-imposing it's indignation
on that of Mr.. Miller there is
reasonable doubt that the evil
under consideration is the only
one demanding correction.
At the pitch it is played in
a style so intimate as Arenas.
Miller's writing is too often lost
in the resultant noise. The effect
of several deftly shaped per-
formanceS similarly is swallowed
up in the blur of a hysteria that
we'll might give the early Salem
ties pause.
This is hardly justice to a
play which. in the reading, has
a great deal of pertinence to
say on the subject of mass ter
ror and what happens when sup
posedly rational man throws
away his reason. No one could
feel more intensely than Miller
on this score but he, at least,
managed the restraint to state
his case. AS in the case of mod
Grafton. there is much to be
said also for meditation.
The untempered zest of this
production of The Crucible"
makes it clear that it is unwill-
ing to leave the slightest shadow
of witchcraft to the intelligence
and imagination of the audience
1t is played as if this were his
tory'S first authentic revelation
of the fiendish adolescent prank
which swept Salem into a frenzy
of legalized murder in which the
church and public officials were
equally enthusiastic participants.
This is claim hardly substanti-
ated by the text of Miller's play,
whose overtones of contemper-
neity are lost in such a treat
ment.
The idea that it could happen
again, is indeed happening in
the emotions if not yet the
actions of men. is one of The
Crucible's" major points and de-
serving of a hearing.

In addition to these idled produc-

Employment in Montana industry

compensation commission says. Total
of wage earners in industry at mid
August was 158,50O, a year ago it

in July 1854 and 100000 in July
1853.
Shrinkage of the number in employ
ment, according to the commission,
is accounted for in the field of trans
portation, communications and utili-
ties where a deficit of 2,400 is shown.

STRIKE May COST u. C. C. fund MORE
than $4,000 weekly

More than 1000 AFL craftsmen
idled by the Mine-Mill strike against
Anaconda Copper Mining Company
this week became eligible for unem-
ployment benefits as a result of a
ruling Monday by the Unemployment
Compensation Commission approving
claims put in for benefits by more
than 500 workers in Butte, Anaconda
and Great Falls.
In ruling the craftsmen eligible for
compensation, the commission held
that while the men were idled by the
strike, they were not interested d.
rectly in, nor participating in the
dispute.
Of the 1000 craftsmen laid off
by the ACM as a result of the strike,
approximately 1900 are in Butte;
The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1954-09-17

200 in Anaconda and 200 in Great
Falls. Maximum benefit these men
are eligible to receive is $23 week
for not exceeding 20 weeks.
1t is estimated that benefit pay
ments to the 900 eligible craftsmen
will aggregate more than $4,000
weekly. In addition to these laid off
workers, business stagnation in Butte
and Anaconda brought about by the
dispute has resulted in an increasing
number of retail clerks and other
service and professional personnel
being laid off. Practically all of these,
too, are eligible for jobless compen-
sation. and it is thought that pay
ments to these employees will reach
or exceed five thousand dollars week
ly if the strike continues.

crowd being spectators apparently
attracted by the picture taking. Furth-
Ell, all testimony was indefinite and
certain to the effect that the COM

effort to cross the picket line, but
stopped before reaching it, presum-
ably for the purpose of taking the

However, bias and prejudice shown

Meanwhile, at an overflow mass
meeting at Butte Miners Union hall
Wednesday night, more than 500
striking miners met for more than
two and one-half hours, and in un-
mist aka BILE terms signified their in
tention of remaining on the picket
lines until such time as the Ana
conda softened in it's arrogant atti-
tude of not having to negotiate
with its workers.
The Wednesday night meeting was
pointed to by both Union and Com
pany forces in the days before it was
held, as a decisive milestone as to
the future course of the strike. Com
pany forces repeatedly circulated
handbills throughout Butte Wednes-

the miners from continuing the walk

Wednesday evening gave prominence
to an article out of Washington con-

to realize how determined the rank

the hardship they and their families
