By A. TAYLOR


Communism is the shock absorber
of the time. All failures and abuses
are attributed to its existence. When
a Republican politician is confronted
with a "Teapot-dome" scandal and is
looking for a way out of the dilemma,
he takes a whack at the Communists;
when a democrat is faced with his
party's misdoings he, invariably,
takes a slam in the same direction.
Immediately behind the aforesaid
gentlemen" march cur own benig-
nant and aping reactionary trade
union officials. They raise the same
ballyhoo, precisely in the same man.
ner
A. c. w. Officials No Exception
The officers of the Amalgamated
Clothing Workers are no exception to
the rule. They, too, following in the
footsteps of Green, Lewis, Woll and
others of the same reactionary type
have learned to sing the same tune,
and judging by the progress the
Amalgamated officials are making in
that direction, it seems, that soon
they will head the procession of the
radical-hunters in the trade unions,
to the everlasting glory of the be-
trayers of the working class. Moth
ing matters, but that. Parliamen-
tary rules are set aside. Honor is
scoffed at. Principle is tramped up
on. Appeals are a waste of time.
Once a member incurs the dis
pleasure of an official-providing
that official is one of the machine
and if he has the courage and ability
to state his grievances openly his
doom is sealed.
Plenty of Evidence.
We could bring much evidence in
support of our statements. We could
cite dozens of instances that would
glaringly prove all that we said. But
the general membership is pretty
well informed of the unscrupulous
tactics practiced by the officials of
the Amalgamated. They know that
the meaning of "justice" as melted
out by the leaders Of their organiza-
ton means fraud of the rankest kind.
The workers know that only through
cooperation with the employers,
which gives them control over the
workers jobs, are the leaders able to
keep an iron-clad power over the
members.
Scores of Workers Know.
The scores of workers in New
York, Chicago, Rochester and other
places who We're brutally driven away
from the ndustry-worl1er who
spent a lifetime in it; who were the
pioneers in the trade union movement
these workers who today find no
place in the union run by posses and
labor leaders they know the truth to
all that we said, and much more.
All that we said until now, how
ever, is merely an approach to our
story. "a rather lengthy approach
the impatient will say. But our an
swer is: "a good approach is two
thirds Of a bad story" we hope that
even the impatient will read on.
5000 Buffalo Tailors.
Three thousand tailors work in the
city of Buffalo which is located in
the western part of New York state.
The clothing workers in that city suf-
fer tremendously. They are treated
most inhumanly. Their wages are
ridiculously low. Hours have lost all
significance to them; they work as
long as the doors of the shop are
open. They are degraded, brutalized

For several years after the war
no producers could be interested
in war stories. Many of them
we're making war pictures when
the war suddenly ended. So the
finished and unfinished mega
tives were tucked away in the
vaults. The public did not want
war pictures then. 1.-THE Big Pa
rade" and Behind the Front" then
started q vogue of war pictures
in which the producers have done
everything from submarine stories
to aviation exploits.
The climax in war films seems
to have been reached in the pict-
ure, Wings" the story of the
American ace, which recently
had its premiere at San Antonio,
Tex. This Is the picture that
has been more than a year in the
making and which is said to have
cost more than $2,000,000 to pro-
duce. The preview was held in
the Texas city because 1t was at
Camp Stanley, near San Antonio
that most of the scenes were
"shot." The battle Of San Mihiel
was reproduced for the picture.
Another late vogue in films has
been the underworld type Of film
play. This seems to have fol-
lowed the success of a Broadway

less to explain, bootleggers played

long successful run as did other
crime.theme plays. In such films
as Cabaret" Broadway Nights"
and Knockout Reilly" we find
suggestions of the under-cover
life. At this time super-crime
film-play is being produced in
Hollywood. This is called "Un-
derworld'' and IS taken from an
original story by Ben Hecht, who
learned about crimes when he was
a reporter in Chicago.
Sometimes you can discern in

films certain vouges in scenes and
sets. Recently it was the writer's
privilege to preview two films in
which there were heart-crushing
Christmas scenes. Although these
films are not to be released until
autumn the Christmas scene is in
vogue and will undoubtedly have
run.
One Of the previewed films was

Olympia is chuckling over one
fight between Gov. Hartley and
elective officers. Treas. Potts, Au-
ditor Clausen and Secretary Hinkle
are '1ocked out" of their elaborate
offices in the new S7,OO0,O0O cap
itol, while Mr.. Hartley, the keeper
of the keys, seems to be in no
hurry to occupy the new building.
The elective officers, pretty well
packed for moving, are chagrinned,
feeling that the governor is mere
~ holding back to give them time
to admit that he, Mr.. Hartley, is
the boss of the diggin's.
Anyway, it seems that the build
ing is hardly ready for occupation.
There are no telephones in the
building and no clocks have been
installed. The bronze doors for the
front entrance have not yet ar
rived, the doorways being boarded.
Then, again, much of the rubber
flooring, which is laid in squares
like tile, is curling or varying be-
cause of expansion, and much of
the flooring must be taken up,
trimmed and re-laid.
The elective officers claim, how
ever, that the furniture is dirty
and unkept, and that the furnish
ings would receive better care if
the building were occupied. 1t is
true, too, that the furniture was
rather dusty for a while, and that
one furniture company decried the
lack of care in letter to the cap
itol commission. But it is also
true that the various offices, as
well as the senate and house cham
bers, have been busted, cleaned and
are now fairly clean and tidy.
But, while the boys snarl and
fight, the $7,Oo0,0OO capitol stands
serenely on the knoll, big, majes-

Poindexter people claim that Sen
Jones, republican, belongs to the
west side, while the Macintosh
supporters insist that Mr.. Jones
is from Yakima.
But, the friends of Mr.. Mack
lntosh, who makes his home in
Olympia, suggest that the east
west division should be dropped
when the problem concerns the de-
feat of a democrat. They want the
republicans to tacitly declare a
republican emergency" and Ito
agree for an open field as the best
chance to defeat Senator Dill, DEM
ocrat. Then, say the Macintosh
people, if Mr.. Dill is defeated. the
east-west division can be restored
as party policy thru the process
of time.
These things mean of course,
that Mr.. Macintosh is going to
stick as a candidate, willing to
contest Mr.. Poindexter for the
nomination, but that he does not
wish the east side to regard him
as an intruder.

five are feeling around for encour
agement: Senator Paul Houser
Victor Zednick, secretary of tn,
senate; Speaker Ralph Knapp
Representative Adam Keller ant
Rep. Judson Falknor.
The popularity of the Lieutenant
governorship is due largely to two
reasons. Some regard it as a place
of prestige and a stepping-stone
to the governorship, and thai
phase attracts Mr.. Falknor ano
Mr.. Beeler. The other angle is thai
the Lieut.-Gov. is constitutionally
the president Of the senate, which
means power in the chamber OF
the elder statesmen, and that fea-
ture appeals to Mr.. Houser and
Mr.. Zednicks Mr.. Houser is es-
pecially eager to be president of
the senate. He was handled rather
roughly by Pres. Lon Johnson in
the last session, and he would like
to have power to "get even" with
the Johnson Morthland- Metcalf or
.ganization.
Senator William Wray, Seattle,
is passing the word that Lieut.
Gov. Lon Johnson will not seek a
state office, governor or lieutenant
governor, but that he will more
likely seek the republican nomina-
ton to the u. S. senate. Mr.. Wray,
who is a close personal friend Of
Mr.. Johnson, bases his conclusion
on letter received from Mr.. john
son. Mr.. Wray sought to obtain a
definite commitment from the Col
vile man.
Ex-senator Miles Poindexter, u.
S. ambassador to Peru, will return
to his Spokane home on September
ID to study his chances for re-
gaining his seat in the senate.
Just a few days later, Kenneth
Macintosh, chief justice of the
supreme court, will be in Spokane
to look into his prospect for gain
ing the republican nomination to
the senate. That means that Spo-
kane will be the center for sena-
torial politics.
Primarily, the discussion at this
time will be over the republicans
traditional policy, or gentlemen's
agreement, that one senator should
come from the west side and the
other from the east side. The
