YELLOW PRESS HIT
! AS AID TO CRIME
New York Commission Com
mittee Scores Tabloid Pa
pers and cart" Magazines.
Nv the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, April 1.-The ''glorifi
cation" manner of handling crime
news by the so-called yellow" press
together with the advent of tabloid
newspapers and art" magazines, have
done much to contribute to crime
says the New York State Crime Com
mission subcommittee. In a report en-
titled 1.-The Relation of the Daily
Press to Crime and the Administra-
ton of Justice" and issued yester-
day. the subcommittee says:
THE danger of suggestion, while
its results have always been realized
is rendered much more acute by the
coming of the tabloid newspaper,
which reaches a strata of population
which never read newspapers in for
mer generations.
THE power is great, especially
where persons of subnormal intelli-
gence are concerned. Accounts which
they read of crime impress them to
a greater extent than their more in
telligent brothers and the flood of
crime news which flows from the
modern press gives sinister inclina-
tons to minds that would otherwise
be occupied with very harmless in
Ierests."
Attacks Attractive Nicknames."
The application of attractive
nicknames and phrases" to certain
criminals, such as the "bobbed hair
bandit and ''the master bandit" Is
one of the romantic suggestion
phrases" the report attacks.
The so-called art magazines as
definite factors in causing crime"
-. 80 %
be sold extensively to school chill
dren and Others of an impression
able nature"
The report says that to test the
effect of "colored" crime narratives
upon newspaper readers, two men
were employed to board subway
trains in various parts of New York
and select readers at random.
OF so readers of a certain tabloid
IS per cent expressed the opinion
that the accused was guilty. 6 per
cent felt the accused not guilty anG
6 per cent were doubtful. Compared
with Ia readers of an old established
conservative newspaper, the investi
cation showed per cent thought
the accused guilty, 35 per cent ex-
pressed the belief of innocence and
5S per cent expressed doubt.
Further Comparison.
OF "a readers of another conserv-
alive newspaper SO per cent felt the
accused was guilty, AZ per cent
thought him innocent and rs per cent
were doubtful. In connection with
these figures it was pointed out that
one conservative newspaper carried
more than three times the number
of words in the particular trial in
question than the tabloid mentioned.
TT is unquestionably a public
menace for newspapers to present
the detail which they now print re-
garding crimes and divorces" says
the report, which ends with the con-
clusion that newspaper censorship,
although undesirable, is not the
worst of evils

The Goal War" and the Capitalist Offensive

declared compulsory by the govern
ment in every conflict.
In Belgium, Holland and Czecho-
sloyakia the reformists are avoiding
open, resolute conflict with the own
ers, with all their might.
Finally the reformists are resist
ing the establishment of the united
front and unity everywhere except in
Czechoslovakia, where the united
front has been set up, and endeavor-
ing with all their might to set the
miners against their revolutionary
vanguard, especially the Communist
section of it.
In such circumstances the role and
significance of the revolutionary min
ers becomes of the greatest import
ance, since it is only they who will
honestly and mercilessly defend the
interest of the miners.
Workers Suffer.
They are however in a minority,
and the blows of the capitalists and
reformists are showered upon them
from every side. The employers turn
them out of the pits; the trade union
bureaucrats turn them out of the
unions. The obstacles in their path
are countless, and the likelihood of
their failure in such conditions great.
At the same time the illusions sown
by the reformists among the rank
and file trade unionists must newt
ably be completely dispersed. During
the coming struggle the mining
masses will be able to distinguish
their friends from their foes; they
will at last understand that their
strength lies in unity, that the united
front and international solidarity are
the only ways to resist the attack of
capital, and they will follow those
who summon them to true unity
the revolutionary leaders of the La
Dor Movement.

The Position of the Mine Workers.
The miners are meeting this attack
in very unfavorable conditions. Dur
ing the British strike, when the min
ers might still have achieved some
thing, the demand for coal being ex-
ceptionally great, the reformist lead
ers did nothing to struggle for the in
terests Of the miners. On the con-
trary, they exerted all their energies
to prevent the miners taking an ac-
tive offensive. The miners every
where, in consequence are not only
unable to meet the attack of the own
ers from vantage point, but are ac-
tually forced to defend the position
which was theirs before the strike,
The prophecies of the revolutionary
miners have been completely con-
firmed: international blacklegging
and reformist treachery of the British
miners have become direct black
Logging of the miners in their own
countries.
Unions Weaker.
Miners organizations everywhere
have become weaker. Except in
France increase in membership is
nowhere to be observed, indeed it is
falling everywhere.
The spirit of the miners, after last
years defeat Of their British com
rades is far from the belligerence de-
manded by the developing attack of
capital.
The reformists everywhere are pur-
suing the most shameless scab policy
In France they are loudly declaring
that no strike is possible after the re-
verse in England, and substituting
for the class struggle parliamentary
blathering. In Germany the reform
lists have as a matter of actual fact
pledged themselves against strikes,
the mine owners resorting to the ar
bitration courts, whose decisions are
