r-s7 r Jack Dempsey ever loses his

get hold of the little pink
pills that Henry Williams uses in
1.-THE Nervous Wreck"
These little pills are wonders.
Don't know just how they act. but
Henry explains that each little pill
contains good and bad germs.
When said germs get inside a
fellow, the germs stage battle, and
IL the good germs Withdraw your
own conclusion. Something put a
lot of pep and bravery in Henry
Williams.
Henry thought he was a mighty
sick man. All he did was 20 eat
big meals, sleep like a horse al night
and in the meantime think that he
was a weak and sickly fellow. Bit
the pills did the work. Henry sid

man who used gun to good pur-

This is Just the comedy back
ground to "The Nervous Wreck" q
comedy which ran for 261 perform
ances in New York with Otto Kru-
ger as Henry Williams.
Kruger Is playing the same com
ecy role in "The Nervous Wreck"
which opened a three-day engage
raent Thursday at English's. Kru-
TER really plays a game in this
Bhow. He seems personally to get
a whale of lot Of fun doing the
rough stuff in this comedy. He
hasn't grown stale with his long as

comedy success ever since it opened
In New York on Tuesday evening,
Oct. 20, 1923. Kruger has comedy
role which Is different. He is sup
! posed to be sick man who has only
three months to live. His nerves
are such nature that he even holds
up an automobile party to get five
gallon of gasoline to fill the ex-
hausted tank of his fiivver. This
gets him into all kinds of trouble
but the little pink pills pail him
through to success and even to the
marriage altar which happens to be
q table In this comedy.
At times this comedy is pure
hokum, rough and full of speed. but
a sort of roughness which is jolly
fun. It has all the elements which
makes a comedy success on the
stage. Kruger is giving comedy
characterization. which Is the real
article. If you don't laugh at Kruger
1t is time you sample his pink pills
with the two kind of germs.
Jean May as Sally Morgan. lead

sincere way about her which makes
her the right kind Of fun compan-

gentle comedy touch which distip-
cuisines artistry from just one who

The upholsterers and the cement

resolutions endorsing the Labor De
Tense Council pledging support TO the
Michigan Communist defendants. The
DAILY WORKER agent spoke for 20
minutes at the Cement Workers Lo-
cal No. s. showing the need Of the
unions supporting the only working
class daily in the English language.
He was given very good reception.
This is one Of the best methods OF
bringing the DAILY WORKER to the

Is Shedding Hard for
Raphael? Well Say So!

The Philadelphia league is on the
job. Some time ago they led the fight
in the A. C. W. joint board that de-
feated the resolution to send com
mittee to welcome Abramovich, the
Georgian white guardist. Now they
report that Local lao approved the de-
cision of the joint board.
In order to show that they meant
business, Local 140 also elected com.
plete left wing slate. The right wing
showed their full strength, coming to
the election meeting after a frantic at
tempt to line up the shops. The test
vote came on the local chairman. B.
Nenstein, the left wing candidate, re-
ceived 81 votes, to Feldstein's So. The
reactionaries then tried to create a
disturbance, failing to do so, they quit
the hall in body.
Once more our friends, the yellow
socialists, tried to push thru a well
come for the counter-revolutionary

meeting. But the left wingers again
were on the job and the motion was
defeated by vote Of 10 to 4. Abramo-

Members of theA.C.W.
Expelled from Union

In Rochester seven active left wing
members of the A. c. w. were ex-
PEELED recently for opposing the pol
icy of the oficialdom. The agreement,
which has been renewed, coupled with
the explosions, have served to height
en- the spirit of discomfort Of the
workers with the policies of the off,

mans hat into the expulsion ring. A
soft and easy living, close associa-
ton with the powers that be, makes
class collaborators of many labor
officials.
The fighting spirir that made the
Amalgamated is dead, officially. IL
lives, however, in the rank and file,
and the needle trades section OF the
T. U. Il. L. is the expression of that
spirit and has developed it 20 a clear
cut class conscious expression that
has forced the Hillman administration
TO get of the middle Of the road and
take sides. The issues are clear now

than these cities, we being the third
highest in the United States, you will
realize that it is time for us to Sc
cure some of these conditions, but
you must remember that these condi-
tions were secured thru their organ
izations and the members fighting and
supporting them.
The master painters up to the pres
ent have not dealt fairly with your
committee, and have assumed the
position that we have no organization
and want to dictate the conditions
that we shall work under. Neverthe-
less it was thru the action of the
district council and the committee
that they granted you scent in
crease on January 1.
Taking everything into considera-
ton, we feel that for us to secure
some of these conditions it will be
necessary for us to take the bull by
the horns and force them to recog-
nize us. AS the time is growing
short and the committee realizes that
some action must be taken by April
1, we are compelled to ask for a
$500 assessment to help finance the
district council for this contemplated
action. We would recommend that
this be the only assessment collected
and If we have to strike, that no ben
efits be paid.

WORK WITHIN
REACTIONARY
UNIONS'-LENIN
Must Be Done System
atically, He Says
BY N. LENIN

Gompers, Henderson, Jouhaux, Lee
glen, are without doubt, grateful to
left revolutionaries, who, like the
German Opposition on principle"
(save us from such principlesD or
the American Industrial Workers Of
the World, preach Withdrawing from
the reactionary trade unions, refusing
to work within them.
OF Course There Are Difficulties
There is no doubt but that the op.
portunist leaders of the unions will
resort to all the dirty tricks of bour-
geois diplomacy, invoking the help Of
the capitalist governments, priests,
police, judges, etc. in order to prevent
the Communists from penetrating into
the trade unions, to force them out of
the unions, to make their work with
ing the unions as dangerous as pos
iible, aiding the police to prosecute
and hunt them down.
But we must be able to withstand
al that, to be ready for any and every
sacrifice, and even if necessary, to
practice trickery, to employ cunning,
and to resort to illegal methods, to
sometimes even overlook or conceal
the truth,-all for the sake of pen
etrating into the trade unions, to stay
there and by every and all means
carry on the work of Communism.
Worked In Government Unions
Under the Czarist regime, prior to
1915, we had no legal status, but when
zubatov, of the Russian secret police,
undertook to organize the BLACK
Hundred Labor Assemblies" and labor
societies for the purpose of trapping
the revolutionists and combating
them, we dispatched to these meetings
and organization, some of our best
men, who got in touch with the mass
es and contrived to carry on camp
align Of agitation within these organ
izations, with the result that we sue
ceeded in turning the masses away
from the influence Of the Zubatovists.
Gompers, Henderson, Jouhaux, Lee
glen and Co. are nothing but "Zuba-
TOYS" who are distinguished from the
Russian Zubatov by their modish
dress, their cultural polish, and by
their more refined and democratically
developed technique, in carrying out
their infamous policy.
Must Be Done systematically
1t is certainly much more difficult
to accomplish the kind Of work carried
on in Russia, by the Communists, in
the countries of western Europe and
America, because the workers are so
thoroughly permeated with legalistic,
constitutional, ourgeois-democratic
prejudices.
Nevertheless, this kind of work not
only can be done, but must be done,
and done systematically.
