AS the situation exits, unless an In
dependent producer sells his product
to one of the Big Three, he is shut
out of the opportunity of having his
picture gross a revenue sufficient to
cover the cost Of production.
This is occasioned, first, by the
fact that the exhibitors are coerced
into accepting block bookings of the
product of the Big Three to an extent
which leaves them with absolutely
no open time for independent pictures
of merit; second, thru their owner
ship of theaters' turnout, the country
Independent producers are frozen out
OF an opportunity to dispose of their
production. And unless the exhibitor
is given some relief OF this same
menace, the Big Three will, in short
time, drive every independent motion
picture exhibitor out of business, as
well as the independent producers.

S:s Workers Communist Party s s;' zs
Weinstone to Debate
with Socialists at the
Church Forum Sunday

NEW YORK, Nov. 13-The Church
of Alb Nations will be the battle-ground
of warning points of view on the sub
ject: Resolved that the Soviet
form of government is applicable &c
western civilization" this Sunday
evening at $50, when a representa-
tive of the socialist party and one
from the socialist labor party will de-
bate with William w. Weinstone,
spokesman for the Workers (Com-
munist) Party on this subject. The
Church of All Nations runs forum
on New York's East Side at 8 Second
Ave. AS this is the heart of a work
ing mans district, the socialist party
the socialist labor party and the
Workers (Communist) Party are ex-
pected to be well represented in the
audience that night. Admission is
free and Workers Party members and
sympathizers should be there early
to be sure to gain admission and get
all the best seats. No clue has as yet
been given as to whom the socialist
party. and the socialist labor party
will send, but assurance has been re-
ceived that each of the parties will
be represented by good speaker.
AS this is the first time in long time
that the socialist party. has been
compelled to go on record as to what
its attitude is toward the Soviet form
of government, not for Oriental peo-
ples' but for our own precious
western civilization" there is a
special interest attached to this dis
cussion. The socialist labor party
also has been "up in the air. on the
question of the applicability of the
Soviet form of government to the
United States and may be expected
to declare that nothing but industrial
unions will be accepted by them.
Thus the whole question of the po-
liticaf significance of industrial union
ism will also be examined during the
discussion.

school their stronghold.
theological Preparation.
AT present the entire district Of our
Pioneers are undergoing an ideologic-
al preparation for reorganization. In
every group there is going on series
of discussions on What is a Bolshe-
vik (Pioneer)," How did the Rus
sian Bolsheviks act to bring about the
Russian revolution" What does a
Bolshevik do to make his organization
a Bolshevik organizations" The func-
tioning of the organization" What
will the Pioneers have to do to make
their organization real Bolshevik
organization?" These discussion take
place at the group meetings. at City
Central Committee meetings, at Dis
trict Executive Committee meetings.
A special. city membership meeting
was held Saturday, Nov. IA, where the
problem of reorganization was dis
cussed. The discussions Of the Dis
trict Executive Committee and City
Central Committee are such as to pre-
pare the more active members to take
the initiative in the discussions.
The District Convention
This theological campaign in our
groups will eliminate with the district
convention to be held during the
weekend of Thanksgiving. The agen.
da drawn up by the Pioneer District
Executive Committee and City Cen
trail Committee jointly, is rather ella
borate. 1t contains among other
points discussion on reorganization
and bolshevization. school struggle
and school work, child labor and the
struggle against it, opposition organ
izations (Boy Scouts) etc. All Of these
topics will be introduced by mem
Der of their district Executive Com
mittee or City Central Committee.

Movie Trust Freezes Out Competition

"A. The greatly improved attitude
of the banking and financial world
towards the industry -. One consery-
alive bank has issued in its magazine
an account of the sterilization Of
the industry -.
IS. -. The benefits of production
on a reasonably large scale enabling
the exhibitor to contract for good
part Of his product at one time, are
now recognized, and the dangers mini
mized. For that reason, combines on
the part of exhibitors for purchasing
pictures, if they transgress the reason
able price return to producers, are
likely to do the industry great deal
of harm.
~. The number of new companies
being organized for picture production
would seem to be out of proportion
A great number are bound to fail and
this brings about a reaction against
che industry on the part of financial
hackers.
40. Among the numerous other
benefits to the industry in 1924, might
he mentioned the advertising, which
has gained in beauty and drawing
power; the improvement in trade
papers, which are more calm and judi
cial in their treatment of pertinent
subjects; and in general thruout the
industry, there has been an arrange
ment of the whole to the parts, an
adjustment of each to suit the needs
OF another, that cannot but be of great
permanent value.
ITO sum up, the industry during
1924, gained tremendously in STA
BILITY."

Plans are being made to have as
many as possible out-of-town COM
rades be present at this convention.
This convention will lay down the
practical steps to be taken in the re-
organization which is to follow short
ly after the convention.
Recruit Members During Education
Week.
Along with reorganization we are
starting a membership drive. During
education week, a lot of propaganda
will have to be carried on to counter
act the concentrated propaganda Of
all capitalist institutions that are
being modified by the American le-
gion in conjunction with the board of
education. We must utilize this for
gaining new members. Our Pioneers
will have to show whether they are
really Bolsheviks by working hard
during this week to get in new mem
bers. The party and league have been
modified for this purpose also. Dur
ing this week we expect to get at
least 200 new members. The juniors
will also participate in the Young
Workers League mass meeting and in
the distribution of leaflets. Special
arrangements have been made for dis
tributions in the schools.
Other Activities.
The question of building the Young
Comrade is also being considered We
will try to raise money and sell subs
for the Young Comrade. We are also
going to issue wallpapers" in every
section. The comrades who will edit
these papers will have to attend class
once or twice a month in which the
question Of editing these bulletins will
be discussed. The comrades will then
begin to contribute more to the Young
Comrade. A training course for the

What a Movie Trust WIN Dol

What a Movie Trust Will Do
The first effect of trust control Of
any industry is the Standardization Of
method and product. Already this is
very evident in the film field where
more and more pictures are cut to the
pattern Of the program picture"
The improved attitude" of the banks
marks the film as another playground
for our dominant finance capital
group, and already we see the effect
in reduced production budgets. The
conservative bank" article mentioned
pointedly that many pictures costing
100000 made more profit than those
costing 100000 or more-and s the
bank wants profit. A third immediate
effect Of the justification Of an in
dustry is its closer indignation with
other trustified industries thru inter
ocking directorates with banks and
zig corporations. Thus far the movie
came has been run by coterie Of
speciality capitalists who became
wealthy on the film and who got and
had most Of their money in movies
and theaters only. That golden age
is over, now comes the period of
"amalgamation" and elimination" of
a calm and judicial" trade press, Of
trust control.
The next stage will be workers

carnations are beginning the pro-
ducing and showing of labor films in

Juniors has been decided upon. It is
to start a week after the convention.
American History, Fundamentals of
Communism and organization work
will be taken up.
A plan has also been drawn up on
the formation of parents councils
during national education week. The
party and league ought to get in on
this and help make a success ofsit.
For Our Sceptics.
There are always comrades, who
have what one might consider, pa
ternal attitude towards our children's
movement. They do not consider the
children capable of doing things. They
will say that the above plan is good
for adults but not for children. To
them | want to say, come down to
our meetings and judge for yourself.
See the Pioneers respond to their pro-
gram of work and you will agree that
they are worthy comrades in the
struggle, in spite of their youth.
