Movies for the Workers 3 WV : zsysE

OF the capitalist class in poisoning the
minds of the workers against their
own interests. The struggle for the
mind of the masses is basic in the
class war today. Only by holding il
can the masters retain their privil
eyes, and to hold it they use every
possible means-certainly not over
looking such effective machinery as
the motion picture. Poisoned film in
the churches is merely capitalist gas
attack upon the labor movement
The only answer to artillery is coun-
ter artillery, The only answer to cap.
italist film in the church is working
class film in the labor temple. AS in
every other field of battle our enemy
has an enormous advantage over us in
wealth and experience. But that
should not deter us. The enemy has
thousands of papers to our handful
but we battle on just the same
Against his resources we match our
determined class spirit, and our wits
to do miracles with little.
Only Effective Answer: Workers Film.
The greatest contribution to labor
films turnout the world has been the
work of the International Workers
Aid. Its headquarters in Berlin sent
pictures of the Russian struggle to all
parts of the globe, and thru credit con
nections made enough foreign film
available to Russia to start the film
industry on its feet there. In return
Ithey now get the best Russian produc-
tons and send them broadcast. The
i American section of this organization
has been the most active in making
full use of these pictures. Hundreds
of showings reaching many hundreds
of thousands of American workers
have been held in all parts of the coun-
try.
Any film capitalist will readily
agree, that to make picture is one
thing, but to get it shown thruout the
country is quite another. Only since
the organization of the film trust have
even big commercial producers begun
to market their own pictures, until
then the distribution involved entirely
separate machinery: Yet with our linn
tied resources we have produced and
distributed right from the start.
Available Working Class Pictures
Thus far the pictures produced and
distributed by the l. w. A. include six
news films and three dramatic pic
lures. The news films, in the order
of their appearance were:
PRUSSIA Through the Shadows" six
reels, showing actual revolutionary
battles scenes, the famine, and Amer
lean relief efforts eliminating in the
F. S. r. tractor unit which sought to
help kill the cause of famine introduc-
ing machine farming.
"The Fifth Year." eight reels, show
| ing all phases of Russian life during
the fifth year of the Soviet Republic,
parades, warfare, treason trials, fight
ing famine, building industry, travel,
Comintern Congress, sports, and other
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-10-06


PRUSSIA and Germany" eight reels,
mostly photographed by the writer,
showing Russia steadily improving
under working class government,
while the German workers were sink
ing to desperation under capitalist
domination.
Russia Today" one reel, showing
how the Russian workers actually
live, and at the same time illustrating
very instructive industrial process,
the mining of asbestos.
"Lenin Memorial" one short reel,
showing events Of the life of the
greatest working leader of our time.
Russia in overaIIs," three reels of
Russian life, particularly interesting
to American workers because it shows
their contributions thereto thru the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers fac
tories in Russia, the "Kuzbas" coal
mines and the l. w. A. tractor units.
Fiction Films Also
The three fiction films thus far Of
fered by the /. w. A. include:
"Polikushka," made from Tolstoy's
immortal tragedy, by the Moscow Art
Theatre, with Ivan Moskvin as the
star. 1t won the highest praise from
American critics, but would not go
over with the distributors because
it was "too artistic and too sad" They
wanted something called "Her Latest
SIM" or Bedroom and Bathroom
Beauties"
"SoIdier VANS Miracle" a two reel
comedy, went with the above to round
out an interesting all-Russian- pro-
gram, and sometimes a single news
reel was also shown.
"The Beauty and the BoIshevik,"
the newest and best feature film
brought from Russia, modern in every
respect. 1t is romance of Red Army
life, we'll acted, cleverly titled and
directed, and excellently photographed.
1t compares favorably with really good
American pictures. This is just begin
ing to tour the country after a phen-
omenal two weeks run in New York.
1t is combined with Russia in Over
alls" to make complete program.
In addition plans are under way to
use Upton Sinclair's 1.-THE Jungle" to-
gether with two reeler showing the
Life and Deeds" of our paper, The
DAILY WORKER, to further enrich
the list of labor films available to the
American workers.
Small Locals Can Succeed
These pictures are here now. Some
have been shown in many places, but
none of them have had full runs to
which they are entitled. The greatest
difficulty has been the limited number
of cities with labor movement large
enough to support showing of our
pictures. The cost of single showing
has been too high, sometimes hun
dreds of dollars had to be paid for
theatre, to say nothing Of advertising.
In large cities this is easy, a big
theatre draws a big crowd, and sue

MADDEN PREPARES
TAX-CUT MEASURE
Tells President He Proposes
Bill to Return Annually
All Excess Moneys.

Representative Martin Madden of
Illinois, chairman of the House appro-
priationS committee, who was one Of
the Presidents visitors today, said
that he has already drafted a com
prehensive plan to be put into effect
at the coming session Of Congress
with reference to tax reduction and
governmental economy. He stated
that he is of the opinion that the best
way to effect economy in the Govern
ment is to keep the Government
hard up.
Following his conference with
President Coolidge, the head of the
appropriations committee said he
would introduce bill az the open
ing of the short session which would
require the Secretary of the Treasury
to report to the President whenever
there was a surplus of S2J.000,o00 or
more in the Treasury at the end of a
fiscal year. In turn, the President

would then direct the Secretary of the
Treasury to turn this surplus back
to the taxpayers in the form OF re-
duction on the taxes paid for the cur
rent calendar year in which the fiscal
year in question ended.
Starts Intensive Work.
Representative Madden expla aimed
that under this bill. if il is success
full, any surplus showing for the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1925,
would be pro-rated back to the tax
payers on their 1924 returns. In this
connection Representative Madden is
going to begin at once to work on
the new appropriation bills in order
that they may be ready for submis-
sion TO Congress Immediately and
thus forestall the need of an extra
session after March 4.
Il shall also make an extensive re-
search for any unexpended funds. !"
he said, "and where justified l shall
seek their return to the Treasury.
If 1 find any appreciable sums that
are free from obligation I shall un-
dertake to have them returned to the
people under the general plan ! have
outlined in the bill l propose TO in
troduce."
Representative Madden stated that
he thought he would find between
s400, 100000 and $500, 100000 surplus
in the railroad administration.
Against Postage Increase.
He will start work Monday on the
Treasury and Post Office appropria-
tion bills On the 18th work will be
started on the Interior Department
bill; on the 18th the Navy and Agri-
cultural bills will be taken up, and
the Army appropriation bill will come

fused to make any comment On the
