steel industry to Gary and the officers
of the trust. This does not include
the wages and expenses of the special
organizers of the association, whose
wages and expenses will run close to
$4,000 for the year.
That there is growing unrest
within the membership of the Asso-
citation and also among the great mass
of unorganized goes without saying.
Many of the workers are ready to re-
bel, and all that is needed is the Oc-
casion, the right men at the head and
a militant left wing is an assured fact.
This leadership cannot and will not
come from the present officials, nor
will it come out of the so-called pro
Igressives, which include such work
ers as A. M. Jennings Of Granite City,
John Stose Of Cannonsburg, who are
honest and fearless, but whose hands
are tied by the weak and VaciI1ating
membership who continue to conhne
their work within their own organized
membership, and who refuse or who
cannot or will not see the splendid op-
portunity for a militant organization
of workers amongst the hundreds of
thousands Of unorganized who com
pose the great mass Of workers in this
most basic industry, and who are
robbed and fleeced by the most ruth
less band Of Industrial and imperial
istic capitalists the world has ever
seen.
Foster Did It once.
DILL" FOSTER started such
II movement in 1919, but he was
hamstrung by Gompers and Tighe,
who could see the rising tide of re
volt of the steel slaves overwhelming
them This they did not wish, hence
they did everything to kill the move
ment, with the result that it fell a
victim to the Vaccinations of Tighe
and Davis, who, if they are not being
paid by the capitalists at the head Of
the trust, are doing the kind Of work
the trust officials want done.
A militant left wing viii come out
of the steel industry when the time Is
ripe, but when it comes it must be
led by men who have been trained
in leadership and in the class struggle.
Personally. I see no future for organi-
cation outside of the workers who
have had such training, and there is
no greater work the Communist Party
can do than prepare men to lead these
workers when the hour strikes, as
strike it will in the not far distant
future.

THE THEATER
AIN THIS ROOM"

The first word in review condemns
this play to the category OF those you
should not take the time or trouble to
see. Little can be said for the good
that is Elm This Room" Showing at
the Princess Theater), while much
can be said for what is bad. In few
words we can say that very good act
ing is being wasted on terrible plot
Louis Wolheim does very well as
Gustav Bruno, called such because
This mother did not know his fathers
name" but, try as he did, he could
not put over" the show. Wolheim
plays double role, as do Olive Tell
and Donald Gallaher. This, however,
Is not a great feat, as the incidental
introduction to the main part Of the
play at the beginning of each act and
the epilogue are inconsequential.
The plot itself is not worthy of a
long review. II is of hackneyed type,
being the story OF playwright who
writes play which Is enacted as he
writes. His wife is the heroine, he is
the hero and friend is the villain.
There Is also son. butler and house
keeper. Our playwright gets his In
spiration from a diary which he finds
In the room and some 'Hennesy-
1860" which probably was not as good
as It was supposed to be. That may
account for the result.

A PEEK EACH WEEK
AT MOTION PICTURES
"sREAkINe CHAINS"

You are going to be shown better
picture than the best picture you ever
saw. Breaking Chains is about to
start on a tour of the country. Here
is a Russian-made movie acted en-
tirely by workers who never faced the
camera before and the result is the
equal Of any acting we have ever seen
In the most praised picture. You can't
realize how really good 1t Is until
you see it for yourself-and you sim
ply MUST see 1t.
The photography is nne. The story
is a thrilling one. It moves fast and
comes to a thrilling climax that will
send you away with a happy smile on
your face, a little tear in your eye
and determination In your heart. II
begins on the barbados Of Petrograd
In 1917. The following events take
place In the village. The story then
takes you to the factories. meeting
halls, educational clubs, the homes
and Lenin. It's a thrilling love story
Of two young workers Of the new
revolutionary Russia. In the telling
Of the story you are given an intimate
picture Of the life In Russia-so init
mate and personal you will feel and
see 1t as no written word could ever
inspire you.
A girl whose name Is not given acts
the leading role Of a peasant girl. 1t
is splendid characterization. The
girl herself Is chubby, healthy,
round-faced typically Russian little
comrade who will win you as no movie
queen ever could. Children act so re-
markedly they would surely prove a
sensation in any American movie.
One little fellow with a thousand or
more freckles you will never forget.
The men in the picture are fine, ener-
getic types of workers and unusually
good actors.
There is an inspiring atmosphere
about the whole production that will
astonish you, Technically, it is the
equal Of the very best American-made
movie. In acting It is far superior.
1t is picture that will hold you from
the very first moment There are
moments Of excellent comedy. There
are dramatic spots that will bring
tear to your eye-as they did even to
the unsentimental eyes of editors and
others who were given the privilege
of seeing 1t.
The International Workers Aid has
arranged the showing OF the picture
in this country. The first showing
will be held in Chicago on Friday,

"sEED OF THE BRUTE"

A drama of America, which Eugene
ONeil could be proud of. had he writ
ten it, but which undoubtedly in GER
tain ways is bigger and more far
reaching than anything he has ever
given us, is now playing at the Little
Theater New York City. II is called,
Seed of the Brute" and the play
wright is Knowles Entrikin.
1t Is stark realism, yet interest
ing from the prologue to the end of
the third act. There is no attempt
made TO play to the gallery or to in
sert comedy relief. In this reviewer
opinion, it is the most significant play
by an American since what Price
Glory?" several years ago. But its
field is different 1t shows passion in
all of its nakedness, letting US see
the ELECTROMAGNETIC Of America as
they actually are. Rough and coarse
language is uttered, not to make the
play more attractive, but because it
fits into the situations wherever used.
A spade Is called a spade on every
occasion.
To describe the story would take
up too much space. Suffice to say:
Go and see 1t before our 100 per cent
saints close It mp"

BY W. J. WHITE.

MYTH the single exception of those
W IN the textile industry, 1 know Of
no union so weak in membership as
the union OF iron and steel workers.
The steel union, like the textile, is
faced by giant combination of in
dustrial and imperiahstic capital
which viii stop at nothing in its en-
deavor to keep its slaves from organ
izing. AS an outstanding and glaring
example Of the lengths the steel trust
viii go. we have the testimony Of
Gary that the steel trust spent fifty
millions In the 1909 strike of the tin
plate workers to break up their branch
OF the Amalgamated Association of
Iron and Steel Workers.
The result of this merciless smash
ing and the unlimited millions which
is appropriated to keep the workers
from organizing is summed up in the
testimony Of Gary before the indus
trial Relations Committee" when ques-
toned. In his answer. Eyes, we spent
a lot Of money, but we made lot Of
tin workers." So merciless is this
combination in its hatred of the union
that they will not even tolerate that
panacea Of the business world for it's
numerous fills, the company union.
No Company Union Needed.
DERHAPS in this they are wise, for
l. in the present weak Amalgamated
Association, whose membership is
largely composed Of the highly skilled
and fairly paid upper strata of work
ers who remain silent and refrain
from resistance to the Entertainments
Of the trust, they have splendid sub
stitute for the company union. They
thus get rid of the trouble which they
must incur in controlling a union run
on the B. & o. plan, while In officers
such as M. F. Tighe and D. J. Davis
they have the ideal officials of a union
which is the best possible substitute
for the company class-collaboration
union. The policy of this oficialdom
seems to be to Keep the Organization
at membership that will pay their
salaries, sign few scales, which the
companies are willing to sign, and
thus keep the rank and file hypnotized
into the belief that they are members
Of bona fide union. The strength of
the union at the present time, as re-
ported to the last convention, was a
fraction over eleven thousand out of a
possible six hundred thousand. d. j.

GRIFFITH PRAISES
ELEPHANT ACTRESS

A number Of animals were used
by D. w. Griffith in the filming of
the circus scenes in sally of the
Sawdust," his latest screen feature
showing at the Opera House under
United Artists Corporation re
lease. Included among them was
one Lucy, an elephant described by
I'D. w" as "the most marvellous
creature I have ever met"
Il had much less trouble with
Lucy than with most extras!"
laughed the director, and went on
to tell of the accomplishments OF
the versatile Carol Dempster, who
plays the name part in the new
pisture, as an elephant trainer.
Carol, it seems, got along so we'll
with the huge animal that it did
things for her which ordinarily
would have required six weeks
training by an experienced elephant
handler.
In fact, in one scene, after doing
some remarkable stunts, Lucy put
in bit of action which wasn't t
written into the script. She lifted
Miss Dempster to her shoulder and
then stroked the stars arm with
her trunk, a spontaneous sign of
affection not often displayed"

THE PASSAGE OF NEW RANGER PERMIT
LAW WOULD MEAN MANY MIL LIONS TO
THE STOCK INDUSTRY OF THE STATE

So many big things have been
lions, more or less, coming from a
new source is likely to be viewed
as a matter of course, but what is
now going to happen to the range
stock growers is of such transcend
ent Importance that it should cause
jubilation throughout the state.
With the passage of the new law,
and it's passage is as certain as
future action of congress can be,
the livestock industry will be plac-
ed on a firm foundation and in a
money-making, permanent condi-
ton.
There are 100000 cattle and that
many sheep on the Arizona range,
pretty we'll denuded, but with the
return of normal rainfall and Gre
dit arrangements for money to buy
valley produced concentrated feeds
for winter use, the ranges will sus-
tain that number in good condition.
With the facilities now to be ac-
corded the cattlemen it is not un-
reasonable to expect, when the
grade of the stock shall have been
brought up to a standard warrant
ed by the new conditions, that there
will be net profit of $40 on each
head Of cattle, and 81 on each
sheep, or that the industry will
have a net annual income of $10,-
100000
But that is only a very small
fraction of the benefits to come to
the people of the state The tre-
mendous sums of money the stock
men will spend for winter feeds,
fencing material and other mater
ials for the betterments and range
improvements will add much to
ordinary business and cash circula-
ton.
Features Of Law
Here are some of the features
| of the proposed law that will make
good collateral of the stock busi-
ness and bring the operators plen-
ty of cheap money.
The range permits are to be
made permanent for periods of ten
years, with preference rights of re-
neWal.
The permits will be assignable so
that they may be mortgaged with
the cattle, making a collateral that
| will be as desirable as municipal
bonds.
In most instances the permits
| will be exclusive of fencing, will
be permitted and encouraged, as
also will the sinking of wells and
the construction of reservoirs and
water holes, under arrangements
whereby all such improvements
shall be paid for by the govern
ment or by any succeeding permit
tee, and those who make such i'm
provements may be credited there
for on fees due the government for
using the range.
Provision is made whereby ex-
changes in lands may be made be-
tween the government and the state
