Bull's-eye of his attack was the $1-per-day pay scale, which he feared would lower the wages of unskilled labor in private industry.

...variety opens with a series of acrobatic acts that shame most of our local vandeville. There are clowns, a night in Venice, and a bull-fight bloody and violent. Part two is an Oriental suite with singing and romancing. The scene then transfers to the tropics. Singing in the rain is the overture number followed by a Salome and sister act.
