Haiti (by William Du Bois; produced by James R. Ullman under the auspices of the Federal Theatre). Last week Harlem stole some of Broadway's thunder. The Federal Theatre offered Haiti there with a half-white, half-Negro cast, and a half-white, half-Negro audience united in applauding it.

Carter Coal at once sought an injunction against them on pea-sized coal prices, on the ground that the actions of the Commission were unconstitutional, and last week it got it from the Second Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan. But Carter Coal's thunder was stolen on the same day when the mighty Association of American Railroads, whose members burn 22% of U.
