prison for three months just on whim
or on bad breakfast.
To follow the case of James a bit
further, it should be set down that an
unknown person procured lawyer
for him and that the lawyer succeed
ed in securing the boys freedom on
a $25 bond, through another Judge.
Thereupon the unknown benefactor
sent for the boy to discuss his fu-
ture with him-and it may all turn
out rosy for Jimmy. So let us hope,
for there ought to be somewhere in
the world factor that would COM
pensate for what that judge did in the
name of justice.
Some day there will be a dramatic
clash between justice and Judges, and
when that time comes the judges are
going to get the worst of it.
Some day there will have to be a
real reckoning, wherein the people
will wipe out that which is Disgrace
ful in our court system and reinstate
in that system that which the system
was intended to have.
The faults are many-too many to
chronicle in this brief space. The
terrific abuse of the writ of injunc-
/ tion is the outstanding menace of a
mad judicial oligarchy. 1t has become
terror, cloaking tyranny in the garb
of justice.
But if that is the outstanding evil,
there are many, many others, as is
shown in the case of the boy, James
Moore, who seems to be a bright, am
bilious lad who has nothing wrong
with him, except perhaps need for
bit of good advice.
All over the United States judges
are sending away" men and women
for minor transgressions, while all
over the United States "malefactors Of
great wealth" are transgressing
! previously without incurring any pen
atty whatever.
1t the history of human institu-
tions that those who are given power
lie awake nights seeking ways to in
crease that power-and when they
1 increase it too much the givers rise
up and take it away Courts ought
to give more heed to this peculiarly
of the human race. 1t might save
them trouble later on.

" Where with our
roo Little Hatchet
we tell the truth
about many things, sometimes pro-
fOundly, sometimes fippantl-,
sometimes recklessly.

Nineteen-year-o James Moore. of
New York, declares he would rather
have served out his three months iail
sentence than have the notoriety of
the affair, which has, it is true, devel-
oped into something approaching a
cause celebre.
James was rudely arrested while
sleeping on bench in the /. R. T.
subway in the city of Jimmy Walker.
He adds that the cop, after command
ing him to put on his shoes, struck
him violently with his night club,
whereat he protested, but to no avail,
except to get locked up.
The papers recited that James slept
IN the subway nightly SO as to save
his money. James himself does not
say this, but contends that he slept
the one night underground because
he had but So to tide him over from
Saturday to Monday. Banks were
closed when he discovered this short
age. In the past year he has put
$155 in bank and sent nearly $3.50 to
his parents, which seems not so bad.
But the story about sleeping in the
subway regularly so as to save money,
together with the cops story about
saSsing him back, seems to have got
James the three months sentence.
Quite little drama could be built
around this story of James Moore, his
fight to hang onto the pennies and his
subway hotel experience, but a bet
ter one could be built around the
court that sent him to jail for three
months.
II is often the case that the evils
of system are given point by its
operation in individual cases. That

idiosyncrasies. The extent to which
idiosyncrasies become the rule indi-

Precisely because of the potentially
powerful influences the progress of
the Soviet Union will have on the
United States as a whole and the
American labor movement in particu-
lar, have the reactionary trade union
bureaucrats modified prejudice, ig-
norance, SANDER and the vilest mis-
representation against the Soviet
Union. Herein lies the reason for the
trade union bureaucracy's present pol
icy towards the Soviet Union. Our
labor ieutenants of imperialism are
well aware of the fact that once the
great mass of workers would see thru
their lies about the Soviet Union, once
this weapon Of prejudice ended, then

one of the most important events IN
" the history of the American labor
movement is the visit of the First
American Labor Delegation to the
Soviet Union.
To the superficial observer it is diff
ficult to understand why and how it
is that the Soviet Union plays such
an important role in the development
of the American labor movement. In
America, we have the most powerful
capitalist system. In Soviet Russia,
we have a growing socialist economic
system. In America the capitalist
class rules unchallenged effectively.
In Soviet Russia the proletariat rules
unchallenged and interchangeable.
But this sharp difference in class re-
! lations and in the economic structure
of the countries does not itself serve
to create a gulf between these two
labor movements.
The American labor movement has
some very worthwhile traditions. Yet,
when compared with the older labor
movements in some of the European
countries, the traditions of our work
ing class are few. Particularly in a
country where the labor movement is
young, and the traditions are not
many, does the existence of a Soviet
Republic in another country play an
important role as source of inspira-
ton and a source of experience. At
this particular moment great masses

The main element of humor in al

pleasingly handled. What a relief this
is from the thousand and one serious

- DRAMA IN
The First Preferred Blond
in History
Clever "Helen Of Troy at the Globe Theatre

WHEN Homer smote his bloomin'
" Tyre he wasn't particular about
the facts in the case. He took poetic
license with history when he wrote OF
the face (of Helen's) "that launched a
thousand ships" And if you recall
he wrote about horses.
Knowing the old bard's imagination
got the best of his logic, Prof. Erskine
of Columbia, in writing "The Private
Life of Helen of Troy" took even
more liberties with Helen's reputation.
The moving picture people, knowing
the historical unreliability of both
Homer and Erskine, wrote their own
version. And here it is in pictures:
a gay, sophisticated, splendid even
ing's entertainment as far away from
the ordinary run of pictures as the
story is front the ancient Tyre that
started this thing.
Not only the producers but the
subtitle writers went on a hilarious
spree. From the first announcement
that "this is story of the ruins of
Troy-and of Helen who ruined
them," the sub-titles keep the audi
ence in perpetual state of chuckles
They occasionally border on banality
They overstep the quiet cleverness
and gentle humor of the story. But
they belong. You'll find them fitting

of the ancient escapades, tho only OF

first of Alexander Korda, another re-

smooth, nicely done business. The

More Labor Delegations.
Labor delegations from the United
States'to the Soviet Union are no lon
ger a novelty. Since the ice has been
broken by the delegation headed by
James P. Maurer, president of the
Pennsylvania State Federation of La
Dor, there has already gone to the
Soviet Union another American Labor
Delegation. This second trade union
delegation is more representative of
that it has less of the officialdom and
more of the rank and file in the basic
industries of the country. Consequent
ly the growing interest on the part of
increasing sections of the American
working class in the problems and
progress of our Russian brothers
should be further stimulated by the
contents of this volume.
Questions and Answers to Amer
lean Trade Unionists," by Comrade
Stain, should go good deal of the
way towards helping lift the fog that
has impeded the vision of the Amer
lean working class. The Workers
Library, publishers, can be thankful
to the founders of this series, par
ticularly Comrades Bertha and Sam

valuable service through their con-
tributions to make possible the publ
