MEMBER PRAISES
BOYS CLUB WORK
THROUGH NOT PRIZE WINNER
EXPRESSES APPRECIATION
OF BENEFITS DERIVED.

H. B. tones, a member OF the Ter
rell County Boys Cotton Club living
in the Herod community, did not win
one of the two trips to the Southeast
ern fair school, but made such a good
record those in charge OF club work
in the county decided to permit him
to 90 and paid his expenses while
there.
He has written the following telling
OF the trip and the benefits he deriv-
ed from it:
This has been a wonderful trip for
me-a source Of knowledge as well as
pleasure. 1t has been my first camp
ing trip. and l have learned many
things about which | have often Won
dered. and seen many things that |
had longed to see. | want to thank
the faculty for their kindness and lore

possible for myself and other boys.
was greatly impressed and learned
very much from every lecture given.
| also learned how to prepare an eX-
hibit for the fair, how to select hogs
and other farm products. | learned to
appreciate the fact that it is well
worth while to belong to the boys
clubs and to strive to make labor
paw in better crops. 1t was great
pleasure to me to visit our capital, and
to better understand the government
OF our banner state. also enjoyed the
theaters. and the many other things
that went to make our weeks stay at
the fair one OF pleasure and instruc-
ton. Unfortunately, was not prize
winner this year, but next year | ex-
pect to work harder, and to be a first
prize representative OF Terrell coun-
ty.'
This is further evidence that there
is much good to be derived from the
various club activities, and that they
are among the greatest forces OF the
time for developing the country boy
and encouraging him to learn to make
his life pleasant and profitable.

tspeoIaI to rhe paIIy workerl

OAKLAND, CAL, July 15.-The first
meeting ever held in this city at
which Chinese, Japanese, and Ameri-
can speakers spoke from the same
platform, was held here Sunday and
drew a crowded house. A pleasantly
surprising feature was the large num-
Der of Chinese workers who attended
and their close attention 70 the Com
munlst exploitation. Of Chinese events.
Clarence Tobey, of the English
branch acted as chairman. Miss Alice
Sum, president of the Unionist Guild
and Cham SUIT Yeu, secretary of the
guild and editor of Kung Sing, Chin
ese labor paper, presented the situa-
ton from the Chinese standpoint.
Their Interpretation of the part which
the movement in that country plays
in relation to the worldwide labor
struggle showed their study of Marx
ian economics.
The solidarity Of Japanese labor
with their struggling brothers of
China was eloquently told by young
Japanese student, Kenotsu, and inter
preted by Shit Matsui, of Berkeley.
Comrade Dolsen very clearly pre-
scented in English the Communist po-
sition toward the Chinese situation
and brought out how closely related
were the interests of workers of ali
countries.
A resolution calling for the remov.
al of American troops and war ships
from China was introduced and pass.

ton working conditions are permitted.
mo trouble" Never known to
strike"-that is true. Any individual
who refuses to meekly submit is in
stantly discharged, and escorted from
the camp in the loving care of com
pany gunner and drunken thugs.
The miners pay for their own pow
der. If they have anything left they
go to the coal company moving pic
ture show. The coal company owns
the town, in fact it owns the very life
of the underground slaves.
Tribute is paid to the coal com
panies in the form of rent, pluck me-
and grab all" stores. Also belonging
to the coal companies the doctors,
lawyers and preachers, likewise in
the pay of the black diamond oper-
ators are sheriffs and thugs and the
poor miners are the victims.
Wise Ones Stay Away
Is it any wonder the barons of Ken.
tueky have to go away to Texas to adj
vertise for miners? Not at all, be-
cause the men surrounding that un'
happy field know of the awful condi-
tions existing there and refuse as far
as possible to stay outside it.
Kentucky miners arriving in Texas
explained to Texas miners the awful
conditions, unfolding a tale of hard
! ships and persecution that will work
we'll against Kentucky operators pro-
paganda.
They further state the U. NJ. w. of
A. officials would have no trouble to
organize those men should they go in
there with a militant campaign and
determination to win.
The Progressive Miners have con
tinuously pointed out that the miners
in Kentucky and West Virginia de-
mand organization, and the same can
be accomplished, if desired, by the Of
fcials of the U. M. w. of A.
Let them lead a campaign in that
field, go right into it with an army of
organizers and fight for the union in
stead of leading a bunch of lawyers
in court rooms, and success will
crown the effort.
Miners are not organized in kentu-
cE<y law courts.

WIN the present set OF inexperienced
men, and further proves that all that
is required is a proper organizational
drive.
A Weapon Against Non-Uhion Talk
The exposition of the prices and
conditions in the appeal for scabs
carry tale that gives to every miner
in the country a weapon to crush non
union sentiment.
The quotation of figures Of prices
and working conditions are mislead-
ing to the uninitiated, but even if
true, it shows a deplorable condition
in the Kentucky field.
Heading their advertisement is the
following: mo gas. Open carbide
lamps used Coal Az feet thick with
As cents per ton for pick mining. In
the center of this coal is a slate Is to
20 inches thick"
Note that the coal is but feet thick
when the slate is taken out.
The miners will notice the differ
ence in wages in Kentucky and the
union field. Pick mining In Illinois,
for instance, is a seam to 10 feet
high is paid at the rate OF $1.04 per
ton. "In the Kentucky field" the adj
vertisement states, THE miners lay
their own track" In the union mines,
the track is laid by tracklayers who
are paid at the rate Of $3.50 per eight
hours day.
Proof of Progressive Committees
Statements
Turnout the advertisement carried
at the Texas labor agencies, a com
plete proof of all the Progressive
Miners committee has said is evident.
The shacks are rented for $1,000 per
month, so the ads states with board
for single men at $4,000 per month.
The ad also claims the mines are
non-union, never have any trouble,
and have never been known to strike.
Miners furnish their own powder, and
/ are given broom to brush up slate be-
fore shooting down the coal, which is
all true, and carries a tale of woe to
experienced miners.

THE film is new power which in
L some countries has already ACHE
we'd greater significance than the
press itself The medium of the visual
image influences its patrons far more
strongly and persuasively than does
the printed word its readers, and even
numerically those reached by the
cinema bid fair to outstrip those who
read the daily papers.
AS was the case with many other
weapons of struggle, the workers were
the last to take up the film and seek
to put the new medium to their own
use. 1t is not so long ago that social
democratic leaders, in common with
other bourgeois biologists, opposed
the films on the ground of their COM
petition with the stage, their flatter-
ing of public taste" and destruction
Of literary standards. Only after the
war were timid and Intellectual at
tempts made OF put the film to labors
use In 1922 the A. D. G.. B. (all Ger
man Federation of Trade Unions)
tried without much success to produce
and show socialistic working class
pictures. In the main the labor organ
izations, and even the Communist
parties and organizations have left
this most effective means of propa-
ganda and agitation unopposedly in
the hands of their enemy, which fully
exploited them with nationalist and
monarchist propaganda.
THE German film industry reflects
4 clearly the general political trend.
During the mounting wave of the mo-
narchist movement which culminted
openly in the election of Hindenburg
there was a deluge of monarchist and
nationalist films.
1t would be interesting to determ-
inc, statistically, in how many thea
ters, during the few weeks prior to
the presidential bye-election such pro
paganda films were shown. The film
is extensively used by our enemy to
create prejudice against Soviet Rus
STA, as for example the picture "Tode-
sreigen," which shamelessly concots
a WIDELY fanciful and invented tale
of atrocities of the Soviet government
against the Russian workers. This
was shown for months and spread its
poison everywhere. In some indus
trial centers, notably in Leipsig, the
class-conscious workers became so en-
ragged that they smashed the projec-
tors and h.,rnad ~ A. a1~-.
Such protest, while entirely under
standable, is ineffective. 1t recalls the
infancy Of capitalism when the arti-
sans, feeling their livelihood threaten
ed by the new machines, destroyed
them. Not machine breaking, but ma
chine conquest and turning to the SER
vice of the labor movement, is needed.
One OF the most important tasks con-
fronting Communist parties on the
held OF agitation and propaganda is
the conquest of this supremely effect
i've propaganda weapon, until now the
monopoly of the ruling class, we must
wrest it from them and turn it against
them.
Picture and Film in the Revolutionary
Movement
The printed and spoken word are
well known in our propaganda arse
nal But not so long ago the use of
the picture was utterly unknown in
daily, youth paper, woman's paper,
book, phamphlet or anywhere. Fortu-
nately this has been improved during
