SPREADS LIGHT IN
RUSSIAN VILLAGES
Opens Up Dark Spots
In Remote Places.
BY GERTRUDE HAEssLER,

Stan correspondent Federated Press.
MOSCOW, April 20.-"Darkest Rus
STA" was discovered within 40 miles of
Moscow when travelling movie show
ing the Lenin funeral came to a little
village under the auspices of Prolet-
kino, the workers film producing
organization. The inhabitants, the
majority of whom had never travelled
the 40 miles to Moscow because the
village lies off the railroad, had never
seen electric light or a movie.
An audience was attracted by plac-
I ing an electric light outside the hall
where the picture were to be shown.
The curious villagers thronged the
hall, marvelling at the illumination
When the lights were put out for the
performance and the funeral process
sion started marching toward the audi
ence, there was hysterical panic in
the front rows of seats, until the pic
lures we're stopped, the lights turned
on, and an explanatory lecture given
on the working of the moving picture
and its harmless character, could the
showing be resumed.
This has sometimes happened in re-
mote districts of Russia, ebut never
so close to large city.
Masses Get Movie Education
Proletkino is attempting to enlighten
the masses with regard to the moving
picture and it's possibilities. 1t has be-
gun to issue popular monthly maya
zine, much on the order of the movie
monthlies in America, but but not so
lavish scale. 1t contains resumes of
films, news about actors, advance
stories on new pictures, and lots of
propaganda for the proletarian movie
and against the foreign bourgeois
films.
In its propaganda, Proletkino is be-
ing assisted by connections in foreign
countries. In nearly every important
country in the world, there are Pro-
letkino committees studying the prob
lens of the proletarian movie. These
committees gather useful films and
raw material for the Russian organi-
cation and get the Russian produc-
lions displayed in their own country.
For America VIM. F. Kruse and the
Friends of Soviet Russia are about to
undertake exhibitions of the popular
Russian film Combrig, Proletkino has
no connection with the Labor Film
service in America.
Norway and Sweden use the name
Proletkino. In Czechoslovakia and
Switzerland there are proletarian or
CARNATIONS with close connections
with Russia.

Brutalized BY Open
Shop Conditions He
Stays Wife And Child
az The Federated Pressl

NEW ORLEANS, April Pom. E.
Carracute, a nonunion carpenter of
Bunkie, La, is in Jail charged with
the murder of his wife and baby. Ac-
cording to testimony in the hands of
the sheriff, Mrs. Carracute was anus
ing the baby by drawing its hands
over sheet of paper, which noise
disturbed the sleeping husband. He
rose from the bed. seized the infant,
threw on the floor, and stamped it to
death with his feet. The mother in
terfered and was knocked down by
blow on the head. Sitting astride
the PROSTATE woman Carracute cut
her throat with pocketknife, then
stabbed her twice in the heart.
Carracute is not insane. Open shop
conditions, where men are treated
worse than brutes by foremen are sup
posed to have transferred the atmos-
phere of the factory to the home.

Third PARTY WILL
WEAKEN OUR FOE,
SAYS CANNON
Support Party But Not
Reactionary Leaders.

The tactics of the Workers Party in
supporting third or LaFollette party
and at the same time severely critici-
zing it's leaders may be a difficult po-
hey but it is the correct one, James
Cannon told members Of the South
Slavic Branch of the Workers Party
at their last meeting.
There are several things to be ac-
complished and several reasons why
we have to support a third party,
even if it is controlled by middle class
interests" Cannon said I'VE will
be making connections in the third
party with literally millions Of work
ers who are half awakened. It is
more important that LaFollette should
mislead the workers than that the old
parties should do it. The workers
have never yet had the experience Of
being mislead by the middle class
liberals who represent the small
business men, and they must be cured
with the experience of being disillu-
stoned.
Weaken The Enemy
1.-THE formation a third party signi-
fies split in the Republican and De
mocratic Parties. The reactionaries
have been weakened by big business
and the oil scandal, and now is the
best time for the Communists to make
their party grow. LaFollette is offer
ing concessions to the workers and
farmers and we must get into the
party where the workers are.
1.-THE split in the Republican and
Democratic Parties resulting from the
formation of the third party will not
only break the united front OF the
old parties, but will break up the
bureaucracy of the American Fedora
ton of Labor The officials of the
A. F. of L. are tied in many ways to
the two old parties. Men like Com
pers and Berry and Lewis do not think
or act or live like the workers. The
split in the old parties will split the
petty bourgeois and reactionary labor
officials and thus weaken their hold on
the labor movement.
Ruthenberg to Speak
by entering the third party and
still criticizing it will be employing
the tactics the Bolsheviki used when
they fought with guns in their hands
in Kerensky's army against world inn
perialism. All the time the Bolshe-
viks were fighting for Kerensl1y. they
we're organizing to overthrow him.
But by splitting the capitalist class.
we weaken the enemy"
Cannon said that the Party program
toward third party will be more full
ly explained by Comrade Ruthenberg
at the general membership Tuesday
night in North Side Turner Hall.

Hammer Wallace,
Tool of Beef Trust,
In Coolidge Cabinet

WASHINGTON, April 2O.-Secre-
tary Wallace is a tool Of the Big
Five Chicago meat packers, and he
has filed his department with men
who sympathize with the packers
rather with the farmers or the con-
sumers, according to Benjamin c.
Marsh, of the Farmers National
Council, testifying before a house
committee. Marsh said that Wal
lace's conduct might be ascribed to
ignorance, cor otherwise" since
Wallace has been publisher Of a farm

facts disclosed by the federal com
mission.

Duluth Labor Backs
Up Amalgamated In
Big Local Strike

DULUTH, Mimi, April 2O.-With
unanimous Endorsement by the Fed
eral Trades Assembly of Duluth, the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers, Lo-
cal $50, is making strong fight
against the attempt of F. A. Patrick
& Co. firm to break up the union.
Eight workers were discharged by the
company, of whom seven were officers
of the local. The strike went into
effect March II. A strong picket line
with banners is maintained.
Conditions in the clothing factory
had become very bad. Experienced
workers were getting less than $40 a
week in many cases. The correspond
ing average wage in well organized
cities is around $40.
The strike is also being waged in
the newspapers and by correspond
ence. Knowing that it had bad case
the company declared in a letter to
the A. F.. of L. central body that some
of the discharged employees were "act-
ing under instructions from the Rus
sian Soviet" Labor in Duluth laughed
and so did many other people. All the
discharged workers are American
citizens and they were told by the
company superintendent that he had
to dismiss them because of their men,
bership and activity. The strike has
almost stopped production.
The central body resolution in be-
half of the Amalgamated states in
part: 'In the opinion of the Federated
Trades Assembly of Duluth the F. A..
Patrick Co. will serve the interest of
the community by entering into a
speedy settlement with its employees
and to this end we pledge our sup
port.

State Insurance
Is Popular Among
Queensland Workers
BY W. FRANCIS AHERN.

Federated Press Staff Correspondent.
BRISBANE, Queensland.-The La
Dor government of Queensland has
proved that state insurance is more
advantageous othe people than the
private company.
The Government insurance Office
pays up to $40 week to single man
and up to $3.50 week to married
man who is temporarily disabled, in
place of the IS a week paid under the
old system of workers compensation.
The compensation for totally disabled
has been increased from $4,000 to
$3.50, and the amout payable in case
of death has been raised from $4,000
to $4,000.
Altho the benefits have been sub
stantially increased, the employer
pays no more by way of premiums. In
addition to the increase in benefits,
the premium rates have been reduced
20 to 80 per cent The insurance Office
declares no dividends and any surplus
after providing for sinking funds, is
handed back in increased benefits and
reduced premiums.
So popular is the government sys-
tenn that of 58,S27 claims, involving
over $5,000,OOO, paid during the six
years the state insurance Office has
been in operation, only four cases
have been disputed by dissatisfied
clients.
Under the old private-company IN
surance system, out of every 500 re-
ceived in premiums, only $S4 was
paid back in claims, and $66 were for
expenses and dividends. Each $1,000
received in premiums by the state in
surance Office is paid away in claims
with the exception of s17 expenses
$50 Of evry 500 is available for policy
holders under state insurance as
against $S4 under the private-company
system.
