Travelling Moving Pic
ture Shows Popular
in Russia

There are no less than 1 ,212 picture
shows travelling from one place to
another in Soviet Russia. These out
fits cover the small towns and vii
lagos throughout the vast territory of
Russia. According to the information
received in Washington this makes a
large increase since 1925, when there
were but 396 travelling shows.
The report further states that the
number now in existence would be
much larger but the makers of portable
sets cannot meet the demand. Out
put has risen from 200 machines in
1925 to an estimated output for the
current year of 1000.
Gross receipts for renting the films
in the villages reached some 650.O0O
roubles. Considering the reduced
rates under which the pictures are
shown the report characterizes the
amount as quite respectable" These
rentals are an increase of 100 per cent
over last year.

ton of George c. Tyler. Sean
O'Casey's ''The Plough and the Stars"

thur Sinclair, Sara Allgood, Marie
O'Neill, Kathleen O'Regan, Sidney
Morgan and Katherine Drago, will

In "The Plough and the Stars"
Sean O'Casey turns his keen dramatic
sense and Irish humor on the pathos
and humor of the Rebellion, with the
scene. laid in Dublins tenement dis
tricts "The Shadow of Gunman, "
by the same author, and other plays
of their repertory, which includes
more than forty works, will be pre-

can remove the Councils and Commit

The Cadets are fully agreed that
it is better to degrade the Commit

of the imperialist mechanism than to
exterminate them abruptly.
The result is general triumph"
and general satisfaction"
1t is not for nothing that the news
papers report that "there is now
much greater harmony between the
socialist ministers and the ministers
of the Cadet party than before the

management of the undertakings"
The landowners, too, have won, for
the government has undertaken mot
to introduce any radical reforms in
the land question"
And the counter-revolutionary gen
erals have won as well, for the Mos
cow Conference has approved the
death penalty.
Who has won, you ask?
Counter-revolution has won, for it
has organized itself on national
scale by gathering around it such
living forces" of the country as
Ryabuschinslly and Milyukov, Zere-
tell and Dan, Alexeyev and Kaledin.
Counter-revolution has won, for it
has obtained that decree on the So
called revolutionary democracy"
which may now serve as a conven-
lent shield against the anger Of the
people.

The counter revolutionames no
longer stand alone. Now all "revolu-
tionary democracy" is working for
them. Now they have the "public
opinion" of the country of Russia"
at their disposal, and the defenders
of the Fatherland will not be slow to
make use of their opportunities.
The browning of counter-revoIution

Conference.

ing over the triumph of democracy, /"

This is the sum total of the Moscow

GALL of life is at once beginning
"A and fruition."
With this profound sentence the
executive council of the A. F. of l..
opens that section of its report head
ed Outstanding Problems"
In this section and those related
to it, the leadership of the American
labor movement makes some of the
most remarkable admissions ever
penned by labor officialdom in an
advanced capitalist country.
CHECKING as it may be to those
" who listened to President Green
raising the slogan of America First
in opening the Los Angeles conven-
ton and to his impassioned speech
pledging American labor to the de-
Tense of American institutions, the
executive council is forced in it's re-
port to admit that the trade unions
in the United States HAVE NO
LEGAL RIGHT TO EXISTENCE.
Why then all this clamor about the
unmatchable benefits of American
capitalist democracy? The answer is;
| To convince the bosses that they have
nothing to fear from union labor
that with its present policy and lead
ership it can take its place proudly
beside other American institutions
and give guarantees that it will dc
nothing to disturb the stability of
American capitalism.
TO WORKERS. who are interrupted
by propagandists Of the National
Civic Federation it seems that the
struggle for the legalization of the
labor movement should take preced-
ence over all else. If the American
labor movement has no legal stand
ing under capitalist law it would seem
that this fact and a program designed
to arouse the masses to struggle fol
it, might very we'll be the keynote
of the convention.
The executive council, however
thinks otherwise.
With the utmost mildness it cites
the degraded status of the American
unions under the head Legal Sta
tus." The executive council says:
"In order TO GIVE THE TRADE
UNIONS NOT ONLY LEGAL EX
ISTENCE BUT THE RIGHT To
EXERCISE THEIR NORM
FUNCTIONS, two legislative rene
dies must be enacted; amendment O
antitrust and differentiation legis
lation to prevent restriction of norma
union activity and definition o
the jurisdiction Of equity courts"
QURELY in all labor history Their

The injunction campaign Of the
capitalists and their government
means death to the unions if it is con-
tinued without the whole labor move
ment and all sympathetic elements
being rallied for open struggle against
it.
If this is not one of the major tasks
confronting the leadership of the la
Dor movement we would like some one
to tell us what is more important
DUT with the restraint which is to
" be noted in the utterances Of the
executive council when it deals with
some issue around which there is the
possibility of a great struggle de-
veloping, and which it wishes to avoid
in line with its policy of shifting at
tention from problems of defence or
aggression to those of constructive
building" the report says the exec
utive council" has seriously considered
the terms of the various orders listed
herein. 1t has resolved to urge our
membership to protect them in every
conceivable manner and to insist that
the rights LAWFULLY theirs be per
mitted to them and not destroyed
or curtailed in any such manner
Your executive council is deeply con-
cerned with finding a solution to the
intolerable burdens which have been
placed upon us BY SUCH UNI
AMERICAN PROCEDURE. 1t has
resolved to find such a solution. To
this end the best thot and judgement
of the entire labor movement is being
directed"
EIRST, it is to be noted that the
executive council persists in de-
scribing these anti-labor injunctions
as ''un-American." There is nothing
more typical of American capitalist
/ legal procedure than the use of in
/ functions against labor unions unless
it is the frame-up system. Every
student Of American institutions
know this, so does the executive coun-
/ ell whose members spend a good
share of their time trafficking with
the legal fraternity.
This section of their report then is
a brazen attempt to deceive the mem
bership.
CECOND, it will undoubtedly be of
" great aid and comfort to the
miners evicted by the Pittsburgh
Terminal Coal Company and the
thousands of other workers who ar5
the targets of injunctions, to know
that the executive council has resolved
to find solution" for the injunction
problem.
1t will be recalled that the late
Samuel Gompers hailed the Clayton
act as chat great Magma Charta Of
labor" but that injunctions have con-
tinued to increase in number and
viciousness since its enactment
TO combat this menace the executive
council makes not one single con-
crete recommendation. Its failure rc
do so convicts it of the most shame
less disregard of the interests of the
labor movement.
Likewise it fails either to recon-
mend the opening of struggle fol
the legalization of the trade unions
or to put forward program which
would build the labor movement II
spite of its handicap of illegality.

will have no cause to regret their
generosity. If the kind capitalists
will only give Labor legal standing,
Labor officialdom in turn will be bet
ter able to persuade the union mem
bership to work harder and faster.
No other conclusion can be drawn
from the following statement:
eve believe there should be free
dom of association for economic
agencies because ASSOCIATED Eff
FORT is ESSENTIAL FOR THOSE
EXPERIENCES AND ECONOMIES
NECESSARY TO MOST EFFICI-
ENT PRODUCTION RESULTS, and
on the other hand, associated effort
is necessary for MOST CONSTITUTE
TIVE FUNCTIONING OF ALL
GROUPS ASSOCIATED WITH PRO
| DUCTION."
THEN comes threat which will
cause every intelligent capitalist
to give vent to a burst Of merry
chuckles.
eve shall submit to Congress legis-
lative drafts and give these measures
priority in our legislative efforts. We
shall seek the cooperation of other
interested groups"
You see how this works. The A
F. of L. executive council supports the
candidates of the two capitalist
parties Then the executive council
sends it's legislative representatives
to congress to ask the legislative
Representatives of the bosses politica
parties to give the unions legal stand
