Several hundred people applauded
the movies "PoIlkushka," and ain
Memorlam-Lenln" when the pic
lures were shown Saturday night
at kenosha, Wis. The crowd was
not as big as expected thanks to
misunderstanding, but a fairly
good crowd attended the three
showings. Short talks we're made
in Russian and in English on the
present situation in Soviet Russia
and the Communist press. Many
copies Of the DAILY WORKER,
the Tribuna Rabotnieza and the

was Russian. The profits Of the
show will be divided between the

CLEVELAND, March cleveland
workers will have a splendid oppor-
tunity to hear first hand description
Of conditions in Soviet Russia as seen
by an American newspaper CORE
spondent, when Anna Louise Strong,
who writes under the name of "Anise"
for the Federated Press and the
DAILY WORKER, speaks at a mass
meeting to be held at the Engineers
Auditorium, Wednesday, March 4.
Comrade Strong spent three and a
half years in Russia as a famine re-
lief worker and newspaper correspond
ent, travelling thruout the country and
visiting all the principal industrial
and agricultural districts.
Studied Trade Unions.
Her observations centered mainly
on the trade union and cultural organ
izations of the workers and the care
and development of the workers chill
dren The latter subject is especially
interesting and timely in view of the
many lies and ISLANDERS which have
been printed in the capitalist news
papers of this country, purporting to
be a true description of the treatment
accorded the hundreds of thousands
of children who were lert homeless
orphans thru the merclless blockade
Intervention and famine.
Nails Lies Of Kept Press.
Childrens' colonies and childrens'
homes are new and strange to most
American workers who should eagerly
grasp the opportunity of learning
something about this tangible evil
dence of the progress and develop
ment of the Soviet Republic of Russia.
The meeting, which is under the
auspices of the Workers Communist
Party, will be held at the Engineers
Auditorium, Ontario and st. Clair SITS,

GALA MOVIE SHOW IN MIL
WAUkEE.
All Usual Trimmings-But in Rec

All Usual Trimmings-But in Red.
The showing of "The Beauty and
the Bolshevik" at the Pabst Theater
next Saturday, March Z, will be
proud and happy occasion for the
workers of Milwaukee. The theater
is one of the finest in the city and the
committee in charge has been studying
the best presentation methods of the
leading theaters and is translating
them into working class terms. In
the place of the stiffly starched man
nikin ushers by which cunning show
men try to give their patrons the IL
fusion of superiority, there will be
friendly young workers to guide the
audience to their seats. OF course,
there will be costumes-but they will
be on the order Of Red army uni
forms.
The able and energetic committee
in charge has left nothing undone to
assure crowd. Thousands of invita-
lions have been mailed to sympathiz-
ers and to the school teachers who
have on past occasions shown their
great interest in educational pictures
OF Russia. Placards are being dis
played on the street cars and hum
dreds of posters are being put up
The measure OF success is usually
in direct proportion to the hard work
put into the arrangements. On this
basis the Milwaukee show should be
very successful indeed.

MEMORIAL BRIDGE
: WORK IS DELAYED
Unexpected 7-Foot Slope in
Rock Found in Borings
NeceSsitates More Study.

The great slope in the rock forma-
ton which will furnish the founda-
ton for the Potomac Park pier of the
Arlington Memorial Bridge, it has
been found in the two borings so far
made, will necessitate nearly a week g
additional work on the Potomac Park
shore before the engineers can get all
of the required information. There is
a slope Of Z feet between the two
borings.
1t had been originally intended to
sink only two holes, but when the en-
gineers in charge of the work found
the great difference in points where
rock was first struck they decided to
make four or five more borings, some
OF them nearer the rivers edge and
some farther back than where the
first holes were sunk. This is neces
sary, they say, in order to give pro-
Spect1ve bidders good idea of the eX-
act type of caissons which they will
have TO build in order to protect the
masonry while under construction.
This will not increase the cost of the
bridge structure to any extent, it was
said
Until the work is completed on the
Potomac Park shore there will be no
boring In the river proper, although
the Army dredge Atlas has already
sunk the necessary piles for the bor-
ing work there.

Experts Grow Insistent

Eighteen months later, the govern.
ment's building experts came around
again, tapped the weakening beams
and sounded the aging timbers. And
this time they were more insistent.
There began to be talk about the
White House being unsafe, about the
chances of its roof falling some day
or night under heavy snow or the
blow of young hurricanes such as
sweep Washington occasionally.
This time the estimate for repairs
was included, although the President
consented with reluctance, even then.
But in the meantime, Calvin Coolidge
reckoned he had saved the taxpayers
two years interest on 100000.
And when you come to look at II
in the approved New England way
two years interest on $40o 900, fig
ured at per cent. amounts to S4S.-
900. This figuring softened somewhat
the blow to the Coolidge economy pro-
gram. 1t made it a bit easier for the
PRESIDENT to agree to the request
BY postponing the repairs Mr.. Cool
1dge had save some tens of thousands
in fnterest-saved it for the taxpay-
| ers, as he saw it. And now, with that
saving an accomplished fact, the roof
will be repaired

WILL ABANDON RAIL LINE.
Boston & Maine's Nashua-Acton
Branch Unprofitable.

Permission to abandon 20 miles of
railroad between Nashua, N. H, and
North Acton, Mass, was given the
Boston and Maine Railroad today By
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
The corporations accounting showed
that during 1922 the operation of the
line cost the Boston and Maine S55,-
946 more than it received in revenue.
The commission held that the aban.
donment of the property would not
affect seriously the communities which
it was built to serve.
The Boston and Maine has a mum
ber of applications pending before the
commission for the abandonment of
large portions of its lines, but the ac-
ton today was taken on a petition
filed in August, 1924, by the railroad
and before the larger abandonment
program was laid out for the com
missions approval. No decision has
been announced on the later applica-
tions.
