Phillips being among those who appeared before the committee to give testimony. Sheriff George F.

Buss, of Wilkes Barre, was also ao witness. Mr. McDonald supported the argument that the. state police of Pennsylvania were a form of "legalized thuggery," used to intimidate labor during time of strike. This view was contradicted by the sheriffs, both of whom said that the police were an efficient and much needed corps.

Sheriff Phillips declared that they had saved his life, referring to the wholesale raid made on I. W. W. members at Old Forge last fall. OLYPHANT JERMYN ARCHBALD UNTIL FRIDAY, JUNE 15 WiSHTNRTON.

THE AUDIENCE CBITICIZED To the Editor of The Republican. Sir: Last Tuesday evening I thought I would journey down to the Academy for an evening of pleasure, but I was doomed to disappointment; not because of the play or players, but because of the "antics," for I can find no other word that will suffice, of the audience. It seems that the drama or the light drama is not appreciated in these days of Charles Chaplin and others of his kind with their slop stick comedy. There was a time that a person could go to the Lyceum, in the legitimate days, and they would not be annoyed by a lot of illiterate people seated near them. I might overlook this laughter and giggling if it came from the gallery, but the most of it came from persons seated around me.

We have, what I think, is a very conscientious and painstaking company in the Academy and I deeply appreciate their efforts. The play in question was a light drama, called, "Romance," and it called for some very delicate work, and to be laughed at when you are working so hard to make good is embarassing to say the least, and I think that it is high time some of the players of Scranton "got next," to use "the vernacular," when the management of the theater finds it necessary to send an emissay out in front of the curtain requesting them to refrain from laughing. The situations in the play were hard enough without the annoyance of laughter. In other words when you are among ladies and gentlemen, try to be one. William Woodward.

The number of Pleasure Cars and Trucks in use is steadily increasing, and the time is approaching when the cars that give the best mileage nd can be operated at the lowest cost, will be most in demand. Users of cars and trucks will welcome anything that, will increase the efficiency of their cars or trucks ind reduce costs of operation. Up to this time, The Wridgway Company has confined itself largely to filling orders for "Zephyr" Pistons received as a result of Users recommending them to their friends and acquaintances, and yet the business has outgrown the Company's shop facilities.
