Without DAILY WORKER life

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Sept. 10
A worker at Grand Canyon, Ariz.,
sends in his subscription to The
DAILY WORKER agent of Los
Angeles. His letter reads, in part, as
follows:

MOvietOne.
Movietone is even mechanically
more perfect than the remarkable
Vitaphone. A synchronization of
light and sound it is nearly perfec-
ton. No mechanical harshness is
evident. An added feature on the
program is the Movietone presenta-
ton of Mussolini's Italian troops in
maneuver. The sound Of the horses

imagine the workers being ground
underneath them. And Mussolini APP

Italian and English-introduced by the
American ambassador to Italy-both
speaking of international under

not. The Vatican choir does its stuff.
If you can stand the tedious military
display of the black-shirts, there is
the decided interest in the mechanical
perfection that with the theatre, the
movies and the radio takes its place
as a great medium of keeping the
workers filled with the right kind of
patriotic mollasses.-W. c.

feel the necessity for organization.
The United Auto, Aircraft and We
hicle Workers, local No. 127, is carry
ing on an organization campaign in
the form of meetings outside the fac
tory gates. And there is great re-
Spouse wherever these shop meetings
are held. At the regular meetings
of the local which take place every
Friday night new members are join
ing and many of the old-timers are
coming back into the union. Of
course it is going to be no easy matter
to build up fighting organization
as the auto barons are rich and we'll
organized, but we are getting the
right kind of material into the union,
and, in the end, victory will be ours.
We will close the open shops of
Ford, General Motors, and other slave
driving outfits.-Jimmie Higgins, De-
troit.

On the Fight Against
Social ChauVinisrn

viously not. AS is known, such an APP
peal will encounter bitter land for
the greater part concealed) counter
action on the part of the governments
and will by no means receive their
support.
If one were to say that straight out
to the workers, then the workers
would know the truth. They would
know that for the realization of the
cleft" wishes fundamental change in
the course of the social democratic
parties is required, that an obstinate
fight against the opportunists and
their centrist friends is necessary.
But the workers are now being lulled
with left wishes because people dis
dain to name plainly and clearly the
evil, without combating which these
wishes cannot be fulfilled.
THE diplomatic leaders, the origina-
tors of the chauvinistic policy in
the present social democratic party,
will know how to make excellent use
of the weaknesses, the lack of firm
ness. and definiteness of the resolu-
ton of the majority AS skilled
parHamentarians they will divide the
roles among themselves; the one
Kautsky & Co.-will say: serious"
arguments have not been taken into
consideration, have not been investi-
gated-we wish now to place the dis
cussion on a broader basis. The
others will say: See, were we not
right when we said that there exist
no profound differences of opinion,
when the followers of the Troelstra
party and of the Guesde- Sembat party
come to an agreement with the Ger
man Left?
A women's conference ought not to
have helped Scheidemann, Haase,
kautsky, Vand6rvelde, Hyndman,
Guesde, Senbat, Plechanov, etc, to
ltEll the working masses, but should
have declared determined war on OPP
portunism. Only then would there
have been the practical result-not
the hope of an improvement of the
aforementioned leaders," but the
rallying of forces for the hard and
severe struggle.
Let us take the question of the
violation of the Stuttgart and Basic
resolutions by the opportunists and
the whole matter! Let us face the
"centrists;" there lies the crux of
matter plainly and clearly, without
diplomacy.
EORESEEING the approaching war,
4 the International met together and
unanimously decided, in the event of
the outbreak of war, to accelerate the
collapse of capitalism" to work in
the sense of the Commune and of the
October and December revolution of
1905 Chat is the exact expression of
the Basic resolution!!D, to work in
the spirit that, for the workers of one
country to fire on the workers of an
other country shall be branded as a
! crime"
Here the line of action in an in
ternational, proletarian, revolutionary
spirit is quite plainly prescribed; Sc
plainly in fact that it could not be
expressed more plainly without over
stepping the bounds of legality.

Company's Cent Generosity Cost
Worker 5 Cents

Editor, The DAILY WORKER:
The American Engineering Co., at
Richmond and Cumberland Streets,
are conducting a cafeteria for their
foundry workers. They have just
raised all the prices 100 per cent.
They used to sell small piece of
pie for 5 cents, now it costs 10 cents.
The bowls of soup are now only half
full, The moulders are very angry at
this treatment and the remark has
been heard that they will give this
new management just one week to
get prices back to normal after which
they may go in and clean out the
cafeteria and the management.
A Negro was employed in this
cafeteria. Last week he was paid 3
cents too much and letter came
from Boston to Philadelphia manager,
saying that in the next pay the 8
cents should be deducted, and also
2 cents additional to cover the cost
of the postage required for the letter

Revolutionary Who's Who"
Real Need.
Editor, The DAILY WORKER:

EUlIOf, ne DAlL1 WOhhEh:
In talking over Labor events with
workers in the shop and the street,
l find many of them that ask: "What
kind of a looking fellow is this
guy you are talking about?" Or, "Is
he an old or a young man." Or, as
he still alive?" ...
These remarks show that the aver
age worker has only a hazy idea as
to who the past and present leaders
in the revolutionary movement have
been. | believe it would be a good
idea to compile list of names and
pictures of those who have really
sacrificed themselves for the work
ing class. They could be published
with a little history of each. l am
sure such book would find ready
sale among the workers. 1t might
be called "Who's Who of the Revolu-
tioliary Labor Movement of the
World."--George Elson, Cleveland.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1927-10-11

Then there came the war, the very
war which had been so plainly fore
seen at Basic. The official parties
acted in the exact contrary sense; not
as internationalists, but as national
lists; bourgeois and not proletarian;
not as revolutionaries but as arch
opportunists. If we say to the work
ers: direct betrayal of the cause of
socialism has been committed then
with these words we reject at one
stroke all subterfuges and excuses,
all sophism a la Kautsky and AXel-
rod. We point out quite clearly the
whole depth and strength of the evil;
we summon the workers to fight and
not to reconcile themselves to the
evil
AND the resolution of the majority?
ii Not a word of condemnation of
the traitors, not a syllable on OPP
portunism; simple repetition of the
idea of the Basic resolution!!! AS is
nothing serious had happened,-it was
in fact only trifling accidental err
ror; it suffices to repeat the old de-
cision; trifling difference Of
opinion, not involving any principle
has arisen, it suffices to patch it up.!!
This is a direct scorning of the de-
cisions of the International, a scorn-
ing of the workers. The social chau-
vinists would in fact like nothing bet
ter than a simple repetition Of the
old decisions in order that nothing
would be really altered. That is, at
bottom, a tacit and hypocritically
masked amnesty for the social chau-
whist adherents of the majority of
the present parties. We know that
there are great many amateurs"
who would like to follow this course
and to confine themselves to a few
radical phrases. These people have
no business with us. We are follow
ing another path and we shall fol-
low another path we wish to promote
the labor movement and the building
up of the workers party by action, in
the spirit of irreconcilability towards
opportunism and social chauvinism.
A PART of the German women dele
II gates were obviously afraid of a
clearly outspoken resolution, out of
considerations relating exclusively to
the rate of development of the fight
against chauvinism within a single,
that is to say, their own party. But
such arguments were obviously out
of place and erroneous. For the in
ternational resolution does not men
ton either the rate or the concrete
conditions of the fight against social
chauvinism in the individual coun-
tries. In this sphere the autonomy
of the individual parties is unchal-
lenged. It was a question of pro
claiming from the international
tribune the irrevocable breach with
social chauvinism along the whole
line, in the entire character of social
democratic work. But instead of this,
the majority resolution again repeated
the old error, the error of the II In
ternational, which automatically
cloaks opportunism and the diverg-
ence between words and deeds AS
we have said, we shall not follow this
path.

picity of greatness. The theme is
the eternal triangle. A woman of
the city comes into the life of young
farmer to complicate matters. After
many trials and tribulations portrayed
dramatically, but with human warmth
and with delicate touches Of honest
humor, the story comes to a happy,
enforced logical end.
"Made in Germany is obviously
stamped over the direction. 1t is
more than competent. 1t is artistically
intelligent. Yet it has also the faults
Of forced theatricalism as well.
George O'Brien, who contributes a
capable performance in the leading
role, plods with overdone Robot-like
steps thru most of the picture. He
has neither the physique nor great
talent of Emil Jannings to make this
convincing. His performance how
ever, and that of Janet Gaynor is
competent screen work far above the
average. The supporting cast, es-
pecially in the work of Bodil Rosing
is more than adequate. Scenic eff
fects are splendid and the photo
graphy striking. The picture as a
whole shows the hand of American
technical perfection in a fortunate
combination with intelligent direc-

Build Elevator Operators Union
Editor, The DAILY WORKER:

Please take our thanks for giving
the Elevator Operators Union a
write up in The DAILY WORKER.
We see that The DAILY WORKER
is the only labor paper which takes
an interest in the workers conditions
and is helping the elevator operators
to organize a strong union,
The most effective way of helping
the elevator operators to organize is
for every worker to urge the opera
tor Of the elevator in his building to
join the union.
We must build strong union and
strong Labor Party.

Why Not Sing?
Editor:

I just looked over the catalogue of
the Workers School. 1t seems to me
there is one important course they
fail to give. This is the teaching of
revolutionary songs. Our comrades
can't sing. They sing half bad the
International and the English Boat
man song, further they are deaf and
dumb.
The Frieheit Gesang Ferein does
valuable work. But we have so many
comrades who do not happen to be
born Jews and they simply do not
understand Yiddish. But they can
understand English.
1t is hard for a movement to grow
if it cannot express itself in song.
Let the Workers School teach one
more subject-teaching of revolu-
tionary songs,-David Berkingoff.

BRAZIL USES u. S. SETS.
Increased Demand Reported to De-
partment Of Commerce.

Practically all complete radio re-
ceiving sets imported into Brazil are
Of American make, and an increased
demand is reported to the Department
Of Commerce. There are still many
crystal sets of local manufacture in
use, the report states, but the demand
for larger and better tube sets is
growing with the general desire of
listeners to pick up Buenos Aires
broadcasting stations.
Reception in Brazil Is not ideal and
sets with several tubes are needed to
hear even local stations in several
places. Although early broadcasting
was impeded by governmental regula-
tons, the demand for radio receivers
has developed during the past few
years. Enthusiasts have organized
societies in Rio de Janeiro, Sac Paulo
and IA other cities. The government
broadcasts daily at Rio and two
other stations are operating. Prin-
cipal cities along the entire Brazilian
coast have one or more stations now.

opinion that the Alexanderson patent
1426944, issued August %, 1922, was
capable of functioning in the same
manner.
Zworykin's application, filed in
May, 1924, and issued in July as patent
No. 1634390, among it's claims sought
to patent a means of so signaling in
modulated high frequencies and so
operating or altering the frequency as
to make the reception impossible to
other than certain stations.
A means covering such operation,
it was held. was patented by Alex
anderson prior to the issuance of the
Zworykin patent. The Alexanderson
patent provided, among other things,
for a means of transmitting messages
between two stations in such a way
that they would not be available to a
third station.

The confession was submitted to
