M., dailies have appeared in place of the regular editions. The two newspapers affected were the Evening Journal and the New Mexico State Tribune. These powerful, capitalist journals failed to appedr in their usual form, for one simple reason. Labor did not want them to appear. The pressmen, of the plant, having failed to reach an agreement with the publishers, walked out and thus the péper was forced to sus- pend publication in its printed form. Last May the printers of London demonstrated in a sim- ilar way their power over the leading dailies of the British Empire, which were forced to suspend operations on account of the printers’ strike. The foremost sheets of the Empire were virtually put out of existence by the irresistible power of organized labor. But labor cannot depend solely upon its ability to stop the production of capitalist papers, in its struggle against BROADWAY BRIEFS “What Will People Say?” is the} new title of the George Macfarlanc production, and will open Monday night at Werba’s Brooklyn Theatre, H.

Not every struggle of the work- ers involves the printers. The sense of solidarity among the various trades has not yet developed to the point where we can look forward confidently to the support of the newspaper workers, when other workers are on strike. The large mass of the workers therefore have no guarantee that labor’s case will be properly presented unless unless there is de- veloped atthe same time a strong, labor press. The workers must be taught to read labor newspapers at the same time that they build up their strength against these who control the channels of capitalist publicity. By building up this economic and political power and at the same time a real appetite for news from a labor viewpoint, the workers will soon be in a ‘position to defy the present tremendous destructive power of the capitalist press. | Grand Guignol plays at the Grove | | Street Theatre tonight. tre, Brooklyn, next Monday night. | Georges Renavent will give a spe- cial midnight performance of the | “The eve- in this role returns ning to the cues ey Playhouse Has an Dybbuk,” important which Walter Hampden has again post- poned his intended revival of Ibsen’s “An Enemy of the People.” The suc- | cess of “Caponsacchi” is keeping him | busy. 2 CONGRESSMEN PUNCH HEADS IN ‘BLUE LAW TALK | Pious Lady C Calls Jesus To Part Combatants W.

They asked President | Coolidge to oppose all 48-hour laws | and other measures giving special | safeguards to women in industry by supporting the proposed amendment. Mrs. Frances G. Roberts was ad- vertised in their official press pub- licity as their “former waitress” spokesman. She is now a depart- ment manager in one of the biggest restaurant enterprises in New York. She recently appeared before the New York Industrial Survey Commis- sion in opposition to the now pend- ing 48-hour law for working women in that state, “The only reason why I joined the Women’s Party,” she is quoted by the party’s press statement as say- ing, “is because they came out for industrial equality. That is what working women need and want. Oth- ers who are,urging special legisla- tion, like the 48-hour law,) should change their point of view when there is so much evidence that the women who will be effected by it do not want it.” She is further quoted as claiming that some of the New York restau- rants are already beginning to dis- miss their women and put men in their places, in anticipation of the passage of the 48-hour law in New York state. This, delegation of women was led by Mrs. Stephen Pell, daughter of Col. Robert Thompson, and it took the occasion of the 107th anniver- sary of the birth of Susan B, An- thony to make the appeal to Cool- idge to line up his administration for the proposed. bar to humane laws’ which effect women oyly.
