Letters From Our Readers
To The DAILY WORKER :

To The DAILY WORKER:
To the average family the motion
picture house is one of the chief
places of amusement; and as with
other capitalist institutions it is we'll
used in poisoning the minds of the
masses rather than to educate them.
The narrow standards that it SYM
bolizes, the old prejudices, the reli-
gious morals, with the heroic love
affairs that usually end we'll is
usually the rule.
A new characteristic of the motion
picture industry for the past few
months is an intensified production of
war pictures. 1t reminds one of the
prewar days, The characteristic of
these pictures is that they are repre-
sented under comical appearance.
The Better Ole" 'Tell 1t to the
Marines" "Lost At the Front, etc.,
are some of the many; as we'll as the
tedious long pictures showing the
new hero of the air "Our Indy" or
the extra show Of Coolidge Saluting
the Cannons."
In all these pictures the class con-
sclous worker can see through the
hypocritical mask of capitalism and
can read their vile intentions.
These pictures want to tell the
masses that there is nothing fright
full about war. That it is rather a
pleasant adventure. Well, the earth
is splitting fire! What of it? There's
fun in it after ALL
In spite of all the efforts to picture
war in comical colors the public is
not enthused The bitter experiences
of the last, but not least world war
are still fresh in it's mind. Sincerely
ours,-Caroline Friedman.
AS newcomer in your midst, at
least permit me to offer my heartiest
congratulations for the excellant
manner in which your Managing
Editors have handled the publicity of
the Sacco and Vanzetti case. To say
the very least, these two men rightly
deserve a new trial and fair one
this time, not framed one. More
than that they should have an I'M
conditional pardon and the State of
Massachusetts hould compensate
these two so-called radicals, Il call EN-
patriots Of the highest order) for the
inconvenience, embarrassment, the 7
years of their valuable lives that
they were forced to spend behind
nriSOn hars What Shame eeoacia llxr
in this enlightened day and age, that
two men such as Sacco and Vanzetti
should have to suffer for crime,
practically unknow to them. / sin
cerly believe now, moro chan ever be-
fore, that the Shoe Trusts and other
large combines have played large
part towards convicting these and
other radicals in this much boosted
free country of ours.-Anthony Probe.

vanzetti in Letter
Complains Of Cruel
Treatment in Jail

Vanzetti, writing to a friend here,
commenting on his transference to
the Charlestown State Prison says
that prisoners there are subjected to
"hideous discomfort"
The letter reads in part: ain Ded-
ham the prisoners have at least some
air, light, slice of land and sky to
contemplate, daily hour of sun
shine and free air in the yard, and
also some weekly visits"
"But in Charlestown it is differ
ent. The death house is bad place
in all seasons" the condemned work
err writes, "but windowless, airless,
lightless as it is, it is terrible place
in hot weather. One summer, I re-
member, doomed man waiting for
the end was kept there, and we heard
that some guards tainted on account
Of the heat and suffocation of the
place.
eff we are carried to Charlestown
prison on July LIST we will agonize
at once, because of the heat and want
Of air. Then, if reprieve should
be granted. we would be removed to
Cherry Hill wing, where we would
be kept in solitary confinement until
the governor would have decided our
fate"
This letter was dated June 25th and
what Vanzetti feared has already
taken place.
"Yet," he concludes, 81 am conf
dent, my heart is steady, and 1 will
hope-in spite of ALL"

To the DAILY WORKER:

There is an old saying that "every
picture tells story" This is quite
true with regard to the tabloid news
papers of today. The capitalist class
owning these sheets use them in
furthering its interests, and always
with an eye to shaping the opinions
and ideas of the people. The master
class is consciously and keenly aware
of the fact that pictures have a
tremendous effect on the minds of the
great mass of the people. What plain,
dry writing cannot say or do to ca
jole and deceive the masses and keep
them in subsection, pictures are called
upon to do effectively and fruitfully.
The lives and pleasures of the rich
parasite class are pictured as a goal
which the worker may reach if he
works hard enough and is submissive
enough.
In New York City today, most of
the newspapers are devoted to pic
lures. These pictures, of course, have
little bearing on the life-struggles,
sufferings or aspirations of the toll
ing masses. The theology of the CAPT
talist class, their pleasures, Injuries
and weaknesses, the usual theme. Be-
sides this, we get plenty of militaris-
tic propaganda to make recruiting
easier. This mental poison gains in
strength and power every day.
The labor movement must face and
fight this insidious menace, and work
to counterfeit it. Why cannot the
working class bring into being a
working class tabloid newspaper of
its own; picture newspaper that
shall reflect and portray the many
sides activity of the toiling masses
wherever the struggle may be,-in
shop, mine or farm, and in the pow
erty-stricken home. This is most
pressing need at the present time for
the working class.-Mark Stone, New
York City.

Dear Comrade Miller:

| was very much delighted to read
that The DAILY WORKER is start
ing campaign for five thousand new
readers. 1t would be a great thing
if we could make these five thousand
new readers our answer to the Fed
eral indictment, just as the Russian
workers are building their Red Army,
Navy and Air Fleet, as their "Reply
to Chamberlain"
On account of illness in my fam
lily | had been unable to do as much
as ! would like to do for our DAILY
WORKER for the past month. There
fore 1 would like to help your cam
paign by making the following offer.
In order to stimulate the enlistment
of new readers in the heavy indus
tries, | will offer to pay free of
charge for two months subscrip-
ton for every young worker in the
District 6 (Cleyeland), on his eigh-
teenth birthday. This is challenge
now to District 6, one of our most
important industrial districts. All they
have to do is to send in the names
and addresses of young workers and
the date of their eighteenth birthday
and will pay for two months sub
for them. For this purpose am in
closing check for One Hundred Dol
lars.
Yours for The DAILY WORKER.

BAN JOHNSON'S
RETIREMENT IS
AGAIN ON BOARD

CHICAGO, July z, HD-Ban John
son, ruler of the American league
since its organization q years ago,
slipped out of town today to attend
special meeting of the club owners in
New York tomorrow, without know
ing whether he would be asked to re-
tire or continue in office until 1885 at
a salary of $4,000 year.
RumorS that the American League
executive, whose health has been
failing for two years, might be re-
moved from office emanated in re-
ports from New York as the club own
erS began to gather for the:.' session.
These reports limited that e. S. Barn
ard, president of the Cleveland club,
or Edward Barrow, business manager
of the Yankees had been mentioned as
possible successor in the event chat
johnson relinNuishes the affairs of
the league.
johnson left without any definite
knowledge regarding the questions to
be considered at the special meeting
If the club owners are planning 10 re-
tire him, or ask for his resignation, the
American League head gave nc indi-
cation of knowing it, He declined to
comment on the purpose of the meet
ing.
THE American League executive
spent five of the last twelve months in
hospitals t oimprove his condition and
only recently assumed active charge
of league affairs after leave of absence,
granted at the time when the show
down between himself and KeneSaw
M. Lands, baseball'S $65,00O a year
commissioner, bordered on the danger
point. An open break between John
son and Lands was averted by the
action of the club in granting him
the leave on a plea of illness twenty
four hours before he was to go into
a meeting with Lands and the Amer
ican League club owners.
Lands demanded the special meet
ing for the purpose of a showdown
with johnson because of the latter's
criticism of Lands investigation OF
the Risberg scandal stories last De-
cember.
johnson holds contract with the
American league until 1885, at the
salary of $4,000 a year. The club
owners may decide to pay HIM $500 ,OOC
as a financial settlement for his con-
tract. Johnsons admirers, however
are confident he win not resign with
out battle, although his physicians
are reported to have counselled him
that he must not engage in any more
league controversies.
Since assuming charge of the league
affairs again, johnson has exercised
all his old time a1IthOritv that for
years stamped him as the czar Of the
American league, but his medical ad-
viSerS are fearful that his health might
be wrecked if beset by undue worries.
The meeting in New York tomorrow
was quietly called, without any pub
licity, indicating to Johnson's friends
that action unfavorable to MIN might
be under consideration.

DEMPSEY EASES
OFF ON LINKS in
LOSING MATCH

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, Sar-
atoga Lake, N. Y. July z, Fp--De-
spite the mighty clouts of Jack Demp-
sey and the silver tongued orator OF
Manager Leo p. Flynn, the Saratoga
cup fell to the lot of Dave Si7ade and
Bob Edgren, California team GnIIy in
the camp golf tournament today.
With the exception of the former
champions early morning road work,
training routine was abandoned for
the day while the entire personnel of
the camp turned out on the McGregor
links in Saratoga to do battle fCr the
trophy that grew overnight from a
menial coffee holder on Tom T.uther's
dining room table to the most coveted
possession in camp.
Rescued from a life of service, the
cup, bearing its proud title and the
winners names engraved" in black
paint on the cracked surface, now win
take high place wherever Edgren
keeps his trophies.
Bob, California ,neWspaperman,
really won the tournament, played in
foursomes by burning up the 18
holes in "a, the best individual score
of the day. Shade, crack middleWeight,
now aiding Jack to- condition himself
for the fight with Jack Sharkey, Slip
ped in 90. That gave the western
pair margin Of two up on Dempsey
and Flynn, who shot 93 and IS re-
Spectively.
Even though Edgren and Shade won
and Flynn admitted that-the score
was still a subject for bitter argument
tonight. Leo against the entire camp
cought to prove that one who loses by
only a single stroke in best ball
match, cannot possibly be downed two
holes at the finish. He appeared to
have little chance of winning the
point.
During the calm that overhung the
camp itself today, two more sparring
partners appeared to reinforce the
