Somewhere west of Suez is the
somewhat worse port of Alexandria,
where villainous liquor is freely dis
pensed to visiting sailors. Ameri-
can, British, Belgian, French and all
other Jack Tars can fill their goblets
with all the poison they can pay for
but a Russian sailor can't buy a
drink.
He can't buy a drink because he
can't get shore leave, since the Bald
win government broke with the So
Wet Union. An American sailor told
the Federated Press what happened
when a Russian cargo boat came in
to Alexandria with several thousand
tons of wheat.
"The port authorities threw a
panic" he said "They made the
Russian ship anchor way out in the
harbor. And there were more cops
than longshoremen on the boat. The
cops were supposed to be protecting

to of the New York Theatre Guild
when he returned from Russia last
year.
Mr.. Simonson, speaking to a group
of artists and musicians in New York
said he never saw such remarkable
things happen in any theatre as he
saw in Moscow during his brief visit.
There was so much experiment-new
thrilling realism; remarkable plays
with political significance like one on
the revolt in China; the Jewish
Kamerny Theatre with its futuristic
combination of music, singing, dane
ing, acting.
Colorful Variety.
Instead of having dead level Of
uniformity, with dozen shows
nearly alike-as is usually the case
on Broadway-in Moscow you find
one theatre after another trying out
something new in theatrical enter
tainment.

is a revival Of an old play, single

that it is a marvel to all who see it.

100000 AUTOMOBILE WORKERS In DETROIT WANT
UNION ORGANIZATION OF INDUSTRY

Detroit delegates to the Workers
(Communist) Party national conven-
ton, now in session at Irving Plaza,
18th st. and Irving Place, told a rep
resentative of The DAILY WORKER
yesterday of the automobile industry
which controls and directs the life of
the workers of that city.
The automobile industry employs,
under normal conditions, about $780,
ECO workers. A large percentage of
the workers are women. During the
last few years the amount of women
workers has been rapidly increasing.
Conditions Becoming Worse.
The conditions of the workers are
becoming worse. Wages are going
steadily downward and the lengthen-
ing of the workday and the speedup
system are becoming almost unbear-
able to the worker. The average pay
is 60 cents an hour. a Most workers
toll nine hours day under the con-
veyor system, which results in the
growth of the army of unemployed.
A The time of all-year work has dis
appeared. In spite of this the profits

Workers Disseminated.
The low wages and uncertain work
conditions have created discomfort
among the workers. Complaints are
heard on every side. The workers
say that they cannot make both

spent millions in such work, and the
Party's activity in organizing nuclei
among the steel mills is greatly ham
pered by the terrorism which the
company stool-pigeon system en-
forces.
The Workers Party in District No
3 is also accomplishing very concrete
achievements in the Amalgamated
Association of Iron, Steel and Tin
Workers, an organization of about
10000 workers, and the only one in
the industry. The great mass of the
steel workers are totally unorganized.
Class Collaboration in Union.
This union, thru the class collabo-
ration policies of its leadership is
gradually losing whatever influence
it may have had.
White quotes the leader of the
Amalgamated, M. F. Tighe, as saying
that the union had no fighting policy.
"My business" Tighe said, "is to
bring about the collaboration of the
bosses and the workers" Thru a con-
sistent policy of sealing the Anal
gamated conventions to all newspa-
permen and permitting no informa-
ton concerning the proceedings to
trickle thru the union is slowly and
surely dying Of dry rot. Only a
strong, vital force working from with
in can save it.
Fractional Tasks.
The task of revitalizing the Anal
gamated is one for our Party, in
Whites opinion. The Party in Dis
trict No. 5 already possesses a frac-
ton in the Amalgamated and every
effort is being made to push the ac-
tivity of this group. The greatest
obstacle with which the Party is here
confronted, White declares, is the
dearth of capable organizers. This
holds true for all branches of indus
try in which the Party is working in
District No 5.
The activity of the Party in behalf
of Sacco and Vanzetti aroused thou
sands of workers turnout the District
and it is believed that we have not
even begun to reap the fruits of our
