Second Wind
For The AFL.. .
LABOR ON THE MARCH in this
country is now as common an
expression as the customary greetings we ex-
change. But beneath the struggle to organize
and establish a genuine labor movement in
America lies a story of bitter antagonisms, of
duplicity.
Against the ascendant CIO, leaders of the
decadent hierarchy which allowed the American
Federation of Labor to sink into impotence, hurl
the stock epithets of "paid from Moscow and
"Red, Red." Such men as John P. Frey, Joseph
Ryan, Mathew Woll, long at the helm of the AFL
have devoted valuable time, which should have
been used conducting an organizational cam-
paign, to the self-destructive penchant for smear-
ing the red herring across the trail of a genuine,
democratically controlled system of unions-the
CIO form of industrial unionism.
So tragic has the retreat of labor from the
AFL been that this week an ostensibly militant
campaign for organization by the older of the
two labor groups was declared in progress. News-
papers, like the New York Herald Tribune which
are not usually friendly to labor groups came
forth with what seemed to newspapermen an
overplayed story on the new life in the AFL.
At the same time the AFL announced its
drive, Heywood Broun, the witty columnist and
Newspaper Guild President, signed a letter with
other international officers of the Guild, declar-
ing that they could not participate in American
Federation of Labor activities. Their withdrawal
was based, they said, on the inability and failure
of the Federation to organize the great masses
of unskilled labor and on the second sin that
racketeering at the top levels of the craft unions
had not been completely eradicated. On the
agenda of the national convention of the news-
papermen's union is the question of CIO affilia-
tion which from most indications today promises
to become a pleasant reality.
Failure to organize by the AFL is substantiated
by the overwhelming numbers that broke away
to' join the Committee for Industrial Organiza-
tion. First we must recall the original ten unions
in the mass production industries which estab-
lished the CIO. Their numbers include the
powerful United Mine Workers, the Interna-
tional Ladies Garment Workers Union, the rub-
ber workers union, the automobile workers union.
In recent months the aluminm workers union
has joined with the steel workers and oil field
workers unions to place their confidence in the
Committee for Industrial Organization. In ad-
dition workers on one of New York's large sub-
way systems voted 10,638 out of 11,585 for affil-
iation with the CIO in what appears to be a
general exodus.
As for racketeering and insincerity the AFL
has tolerated at its leadership such men as Jo-
seph Ryan who has built a gangster's heaven
for himself in the International Longshoreman's
Association, Francis Dillon who led the 1934 auto
Donald Shylock
To the Editor:
Mr. Henderson's Merchant of Venice is in-
credible. The Donald Duck diction, the Noel
Cowardscuffling, the marathon speed and un-
intelligibility, and now Mr. Henderson's own
hypnotic reassurance: all are strange and un-
real. Surely nothing paid for was ever so bad,
except possibly the traveling Chatauqua as it
neared a well-deserved end. Like a bad dinner
which will neither up nor down, leaving one a
conscious corpse, neither living nor dead, replete
but disgusted, this Merchant of Venice will linger
in the mind to parody and poison the immortal
lines.
Consolation can be found only in sympathy
for the professional players involved, and in the
saving speed which brought the "performance
to a close after only two hours.
-Prof. W. H. Worrell,
(Of the Oriental
Languages Dept.)
As You Like It
To the Editor:
Mr. Leon Ovsiew went to the Lydia Mendels-
sohn Theatre with the idea of reviewing a play.
It's too bad he wasted his time. Mr. Ovsiew did
a nice job of picking the presentation of the
"Merchant of Venice" apart but he forgot to
put the pieces together again.
The review published in The Daily Sunday
rnorning was a distinct insult to the dramatic
artists who are visiting Ann Arbor. Mr. Ovsiew
let personal prejudice enter into the article and
I do not feel it should be regarded as a valid
criticism.
Other Shakespearean productions, "Hamlet,"
Othello," and "Twelfth Night," have been given
here. I feel they were accepted by the majority
of the theatre-goers as enjoyable plays, well-
acted. I fear Mr. Ovsiew is too analytical of
mind to truly appreciate a dramatic offering of
this sort..
The slight praise which Mr. Ovsiew does give
Mr. Hughes has little weight when he says that
modulation of the tempestuous speeches would
improve his portrayal of Shylock. It is the very
forgetfulness of place and self which makes Mr.
Hughes so effective in this role,
Miss Winwood brought the. youth of Portia to
us in a delightful gaiety which did not seem
overly spread with giggling frivolity.
Mr. Ingram gave a vigor to his part that
pleased the audience.
The sub-plots seemed to be woven into the
major theme so smoothly that the continuity
was unbroken.
All in all, I was very pleased with the per-
formance. I wish some true dramatic critic would
publish a review which shows its worth and
its wealth of dramatic character for those who
could not attend any of the performances of
"Merchant of Venice."
I would like to see a play directed by Mr.
Ovsiew. I am sure it would be the most flawless
of all productions.
-An Appreciative Theatre-Goer,
Three Square Inches
To the Editor:.
Four years at the University of Michigan have
given me much to think about. Social problems,
political and economic equality, racial discrim-
ination, have all come before me in vivid, clear
experiences.
Most of that which I have learned has been out
of classes rather than in them. When one works
his way through four long academic years, with
no other income, except that which he, himself
earns, he soon learns that college is not X11
J-Hops and sorority Teas.
College, to me meant a strugle for existence,
a continual fight to get three meals a day and
a place to park your stuff. College meant realiz-
ing that there were other fellows with troubles,
and that the less you cearn, the more you learn
about your fellow unfortunates.
Finally, after the four years are almost com-
pleted, the student-worker decides to "splurge"
and buy something to remember "college by."
Five dollars or so for an 'Ensian, three dollars
for his pictures, (You can get them for a dollar,
but not at the "approved photographers") and
you're "broke" for the next three weeks. But the
student-worker figures that it's worth it.
Weeks pass. Ballyhoo after ballyhoo is issued
by the 'Ensian staff, and the student looks for-
ward to a real souvenir of his college days. For
the student who hasn't yet bought the book,
the staff notifies the parents that their son has
not yet bought their product, and suggests that
he might not have the money for it. Embarrass-
ing for the student, but the staff sells more copies,
so what do they care?
Finally, the 'Ensian arrives. The student
searches thoroughly through the massive,
weighty book, looking for people he knows, and
the things which he has seen during his four
years here. With a sudden but definite conclu-
sion, he realizes that he'd been a sucker.
He finds that 99 per cent of the text carries
pictures of dances he never went to, initiations to
fraternities on the other side of the social fence,
and beautiful views of mortgaged fraternity
houses to which he was never invited.
ROTC staffs, elite societies, even beautiful pic-
tures of beautiful coeds in beautiful gowns, for
pages and pages, but only about three square
inches in total are allotted to his picture and the
two friends who could afford to pay the "author-
ized photographer."
Finally, the "sucker" realizes that for beau-
tiful girls, he could have bought a movie mag-
dred" of the campus; and as such, accentuates
the barrier between those who have, and those
who have not. As a picture of "those who have,"
it is a direct insult to the student who has
worked for his campus, who, holding no puppet
offices, has sweated in the desire to alleviate
the social inequality rampant here, visualizing
a fraternal equality not symbolized by the social
parasites who bear that name. Because the
scion of a too-too-well-to-do tribe has gotten
into the habit of making itself conspicuous, does
not mean that he should be more entitled to go
down in the distorted history of the institution
other people have worked for and attended.
Four years . . . and after four years of finan-
cial discrimination . .. it has to be pictorially re-
corded for me in my souvenir of the struggle.
-Disgusted.
Pat Ball Players'
To the Editor:
In an article in today's Daily "Coach" John-
stone of the tennis team states that Michigan
lost the Conference net meet with "pat ball
players," who "weren't prepared to play a driv-
ing game because they did not practice it suffi-
ciently during the season."
These boys practiced all winter long under the
watchful eye of "Coach" Johnstone, and if they
were not practicing a driving game, he had ample
opportunity to do something about this before
the Conference meet. It seems just a bit late
now for him to put the fault on the players,
when the remedy lay in his own hands-provided
he is a proper coach.
Johnstone further states that such players as
Bickel and the Ball brothers were "developed"
by Chicago and Northwestern. , With all due -
credit to the coaches at those schools, Johnstone
overlooks the fact that such players held high
rankings before they went to college. Good play-
ers will not attend a college which holds no
attraction for them in the way of opportunities
to improve (e.g. good coaching)-and perhaps
this is the reason Michigan failed to win the
title, rather than that the boys played pat ball
tennis.
At any rate, it is hardly the right of the man
responsible for the way our team played, to
criticize now that it is all over. I am sure that
this is the feeling of all tennis fans on the
campus. -Leonard D. Verdier, Jr. '7L
A Pandora's Box
-Will Its Evils Plague Us?-
(From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch)
IS THERE something sinister to the country's
future in the industrial strife which for the
past few months has been waged from coast to
coast? Has John L. Lewis, whose CIO forces have
been making almost unbelievable advances in the
organization of the country's workers for collec-
tive bargaining purposes, opened a Pandora's
box and released a hearde of evils that will plague
us for generations to come? Just what is the
meaning of the happenings on the industrial
front that have crowded fast uppn one another
since last December when the operations of one
of the nation's largest corporations-General
Motors-were paralyzed by a sit-down strike?
Before attempting a reply to these questions,
let us recall that, in the past 40 years, there has
occurred a revolution in the organization and
methods of industry comparable in significance
to that which followed the invention of the
steam engine in the eighteenth century. Tech-
nological advances have made possible our great
mass-production factories and these in turn
have given rise to giant corporations operating
on a nation-wide scale. In Berle and Means'
work, "The Modern Corporation and Private
Property," it is stated that 200 corporations, each
with assets of more than $90,000,000, control 49.2
per cent of all non-banking corporate wealth,
while the remaining half is owned by more than
300,000 smaller companies.
THEATRE
By JAMES DOLL
Th ird Play Opens Today
TWO SEASONS ago when Richard
of Bordeaux was produced in New
York with Dennis King, we first had
a chance to become acquainted with
a play by Agnes Macintosh, that
Scotch woman who prefers to hide
behind the name Gordon Daviot.
Her tragedy of the weakling Richard
II was "an interesting play written
with a nice command of language, a
sensitive knowledge of character, and
a shrewd eye for theatrical effect."
Her play The Laughing Woman will
open tonight at the Mendelssohn
theatre as the third offering of the
1937 Dramatic Season. It is based on1
H. S. Ede's The Savage Messiah which
tells of the happy life of Henri Gou-
dier, the sculptor and Sophie Brzeska,
the writer who lived together for a
few years in unequal and helpless
acrimony in the midst of London's
art life.
In summarizing the play, Brooks
Atkinson of The New York Times
said: "The Private life of Henri Gau-
dier and Sophie Brzeska was more in-
teresting than most, for he was a
raging genius and she a woman of
volatile emotion and notable integ-
rity. In the play he appears as Rene
Latour and she as Ingrid Rydman;
otherwise the story closely follows
The Savage Messiah narrative. They
mneet on the continent; she is middle-
aged, and cautious, he is young, en-
thusiastic and overwhelming. They
live together, first as brother and
sister, in London, and later as man
and woman. They live on nothing;
they quarrel violently, create social
brawls, and finally his genius begins
to win recognition at the moment
when the war breaks out and artists
,o to the front like any common
soldier."
The play will have, five perform-
ances in Ann Arbor. Opening tomor-
row night, it will continue Friday
night, Saturday matinee and night;
and Monday matinee and night. The
second bill of Noel Coward plays will
open next Tuesday, June 1.
* The Space-Stage
EDITOR'S NOTE: Robert Henderson,
director of the Ann Arbor Dramatic
Season, has sent the following article
to the Editors of The Daily.
THE ANN ARBOR production of
The Laughing Woman, save for
Tonio Selwart who created the role
of the young sculptor in the Broad-
way production this fall, differs red-
ically from tne New York perform-
ance. We are using not the New
York script, which was badly writ-
ten-with that peculiarsvanity which
is Broadway's-to shift the import-
ance from Mr. Selwart to the woman
star of the play. Instead, in Ann
Arbor we are presenting the original
English script, which enjoyed such a
success in London. Here the two
roles of Henri Gaudier, the sculptor,
and Sophie Brezka, the author, stand
equal. As created by Mr. Selwart
and Miss de Neergaard, I feel they
will stand as two of the most original
and compelling performances of the
season.
The Laughing Woman further in-
terests me, technically, because it
furnishes an opportunity to use, in
the direction, the "space-stage." The
space-stage method is the reverse of
the influence of Gordon Craig, Rob-'
srt Edmund Jones and other disting-
uished designers who made the scen-
25y rather than the actors the im-
portant factor in a production. In a
space-stage production the audience,
to all intents and purposes, seescno
scenery at all, at least in the con-
ventional sense.
If, as in The Laughing Woman, the
settings shift quickly from various
poor rooms, to a dining room, to a
London street in a space-stage pro-
duction there are no settings in a
realistic sense; no broken plater, no
imposing Georgic columns, no street
lamps. There are a few properties,
a great many variations in stage lev-
els, fine stage lighting-all set against
a black velvet cyclorama. In other
words, all of the emphasis is shifted
onto the actors.
*'* *
Walks To Be Improved
HAVE OFTEN FELT, as have many
directors, that many plays on a
bare stage in rehearsal have been
:nore moving than in actual produc-
tion when cluttered up with manifold
settings. Such important personali-
ties in the theatre as Zoe Aikkens
end Alice Kauser agree with me that
the present curse of the New York
theatre is the scenic designer, who
both financially and artistically,
swamps many a fine play with set-
tings so vast and imposing that the
poor actors and the even more un-
fortunate script itself has no chance.
, Actually the use of the space-stage
method, which attempts to reduce
wcenery to a very minimum and con-
centrate all attention on the actors
themselves, isafar from economical;
for all the platforms and levels used
in the creation of the space-stage
(all elaborated padded to deader
sound) use more lumber and can-
vass than any usual amotnt o_

As industry and commerce have developed, la-
bor organization has lain dormant. This is graph-
ically shown by the fact that, when John L. Lewis
began his drive, only about 3,000,000 of 30,000,000
industrial workers were organized. The then do-
minant labor body-the AF of L-clung and still
clings to the ancient and outmoded craft union
principle, which has been proved inapplicable
to mass production industry.
The result of the failure of the labor move-
ment to match strides with business and industry
has been to create a lack of balance in our eco--
nomic life. Labor was not in position to demand
and obtain its fair share of the products it helped
to create. Wealth naturally tended to concen-
trate. At one extreme, millions of the people
were reduced to the poverty line and, at the
other, huge fortunes were in possession of the
few. It is a condition that caused former Ambas-
sador James W. Gerard to say, with a large
measure of truth, that America was ruled by 63
men. It is a condition that was one of the
great contributing factors to the depression. It'
is a condition that gave rise to demagogues like
Huey Long and Dr. Townsend.
The John L. Lewis theory is that the organiza-
tion of the country's workers into unions can
bring about a balance between capital and labor.
His method is the formation of industrial unions,
comprising all the workers in a given industry
regardless of trades and crafts. His objective, as
set out in a notable interview, published Feb. 16,
1936, in the Post-Dispatch, is to insure the work-
ers of economic security by compelilng a more
even distribution of the fruits of industry.

Threat To Religion
Colleges have not been the "de-
structive" force in regard to religious
thinking that most critics label them,
Mrs. Mary C. Van Tuyl declared yes-
terday at the meeting of the Psychol-
ogy Journal Club.
Mrs. Van Tuyl has been engaged
in a study of the religious ideas of
University students, and her report
yesterday was a presentation and ex-
planation of some of the results she
has obtained.
Over 800 autobiographical reports
were collected to make this study,
Mrs. Van Tuvl said. "Naturally the
