The sum total of the above men,

Workers children should not go to
camps controlled by the bosses. There
are a number of working-class chill

able working class parents to send
their children for a short vacation in
the country. Such camps are the
Young Pioneer Camps elsewhere and

In these camps workers children

ing class environment and thru their
everyday camp life and activities they
learn devotion to the cause of the
workers.
To describe all these camps thruout
the country would make interesting
reading but space does not permit it.
We will have to content ourselves
with description of the camp in New
York.
This year the maintenance of the
New York camp has been undertaken
by the Workers International Relief.
/ The camp site chosen is the location
Of the former Young Pioneer Camp.
1t is situated amid the beautiful White
Rock Mountains at Wingdale, New
York. There is fine lake for swim
ming ard bathing and other facilities
for outdoor sports and recreation,
which could not be excelled anywhere.
The children receive the best focd and
care for building healthy bodies. The
best counsellors obtainable from the
ranks of the working class, trained
nurse, the services OF a physician and
many other facilities, will make the
w. l. 4. camp for workers children
most up-to-date camp. The camp
opens July 9Th and hopes to accommo-
date at least 400 workers children fol
short vacations. A number of strik-
ers' children and children of unem.

free of charge. The cost of stay in

MINERS DETERMINED TO
GUST LEWIS MACHINE

| ask any union man either in the
Mine Workers Union or out Of it to
examine the demand of the Save-the-
Union Committee and compare it
with the package the men got from
their officials by signing up these
separate agreements. Ask yourself
which is the dual organization, so far
as protection to organized labor is
concerned and which will be the most
beneficial to the members of our
union.
Determined to Gust Lewis Gang.
We, the rank and file of the Min
ers' Union have tried to remove this
set Of inefficient officials for many
years. We now know it is impossible
to do this with the ballot, so we have
taken steps to remove them, and are
determined to do it.
We do not intend to ask Lewis,
Fishwick or any other of this official
family what method we should apply.
We will do the deciding ourselves.
Now, Lewis, the babies in Pennsyl-
vania are crying for milk, food and
clothes, and we have decided that
some of that $4,000 per year would
fit in there very nicely. It may reduce
that pouch of yours a little but we
believe it would be best for your own
health at that. We are sure it would
be wonderful help to the health of
the miners and their families in Penn
sylvania and Ohio. You have left very
little of our once great union, yet you
have the nerve to say you are going
to pull some more cards. My opinion
is that you have pulled one to many
now, and the next cards will be the
cards of the official family that will
be scratched off the books of the u.
M. w. of A. I have read in the papers
that you claim that Soviet Russia
sent over $20,000,O00 and that the OPP
orators in the unorganized field are
handling out money to the Save-the-
Union Committee. Your statement is
so rotten and silly that ten year
old schoolboy would Taught when he
reads it.
It's wonder some of the operators
don't drop dead when they read such
bunk. / suppose they consider the
source and let it go at that. They
know that they are dealing with the
weakest set of officials the miners
ever had at the head of their union.

Farquhar Comedy First

Farquhar, which will be revived by
the Players Club Monday night at
Hampden's Theatre, has been pre-
sented to the organization by George
Barr McCutcheon, the novelist and
playwright.
The book was published a few
weeks after the first presentation Of
the play at the Haymarket Theatre,
London, on March 8, 1907, and just
before the death of the playwright,
which occurred in April Of that same
year. Farquhar wrote the lively

A Summer Camp for the
Children of the Workers

School will soon be over. Vacation
time is at hand. Winter, with it's cold
Winds and SHOWS, is a thing of the
past. Summer is here! The children
Of the rich can now have the time of
their lives. Of course their lot was
not bad during the winter. The chill
dren of the bosses enjoy the good
things of life, the year round. They
live in fine homes, eat the best food
and attend schools where conditions
are congenial. But soon there will be
no more school, nothing to do all day
long, but to enjoy. Away from the
city, at the seashore, in the mountains,
or at country resorts the children of
the rich will enjoy life to the utmost.
Does vacation from school mean
anything like that to workers chill
tlren? Not at all. Workers children
work hard during the winter. To con-
trast workers homes and the homes
of their exploiters is needless. Work
ers' children do not get the best and
most nourishing food-usuaIly it is
poor food and insufficient for good
health. The schools in working class
neighborhoods are overcrowded and
conditions are not congenial for study.
In many cases workers children of
tender age are forced to work after
school and many do not even complete
public school to leave for a shop or
factory in order to help their families
to exist. During the struggles of the
workers against the injustices of cap
italist exploitation; during strikes,
lockouts, during periods of unemploy-
ment, the children are the first to suf-
fer.
Do workers children enjoy their
vacation from school? Many are
forced to look for jobs during vaca-
ton time. During the heat of the
summer months they have to sweat
in some shop, factory or store. Shin
ing shoes and selling newspapers is
another alternative to earn some bad
ly needed pennies; workers children
do not have much chance to go to the
country for the summer, but are left
TO do the best they can in the Sitting
streets of the city.
Workers children deserve a vaca-
zion. The bosses realize this fact and
utilize it to exert their influence and
propaganda on the workers children.
The masterclass provide charity
camps and various patriotic and re-
hgious camps of the type of Boy and
Girl Scouts Y. M. C. A., Y. w. C. A.,

We miners know that very few of
us can go out and find employment at
other trades, for several reasons. One
is we are not schooed and practical
in other trades. Another is that the
same condition is facing the other
trades. Improved machinery is caus-

THE End of St. Petersburg"
A Vivid Story of the Revolution

ing and oppression, but as you can
sense from the very beginning, to
sure, inevitable victory.
The direction of the picture is done
by Pedovkin, former engineer who
under the Soviets became interested
in motion pictures. His work puts him
at once at the side of Eisenstein who
directed "Potemkin" and with him,
unquestionably, among the foremost
directors of the world.
1t is a crime that much of the
picture has been cut to satisfy the
sensitive feelings of bourgeois cen
sors. This is obvious on number of
occasions and absolutely ridiculous in
the concluding sub-titles that on the
victory of the Bolsheviks speak of a
victory for democracy
So obvious was this that whereas
the audience was swept into repeated
applause by the greatness of the diff
ferent parts of the picture, they were
stunned silent by this ridiculous sub
title conclusion. The final scenes pic
ture the former suffering worker and
his wife, gun in hand, victorious with
broadening smile of achievement
after years of oppression. The men
and women who gave their lives, who
bled and suffered, who overthrow the
Gar. who chased the spineless and
treacherous Kerensky, have achieved
all this for democracy? What sheer
nonsense.
1t doesn't matter, comrade. We
know better. Mutilated as this pic
ture may be, it is still rare treat
for any red-blooded worker. 1t is
rugged, strong, beautiful, and in
spring. 1t reeks of sweat and blood
and of the farm and the factory. It is
a magnificent proletarian achieve
ment in motion pictures.

Opera Festivals Held
At Leningrad

A SERIES of opera festivals was
IA given at Leningrad early this
month in which the works of Alban
Berg and Ernst Krenek were featured.
The week opened with a performance
of Berg's ''Wozzek." The production
stressed the romantic elements of the
opera, while the grim episodes deal
ing with the morasses of life were
lightly touched upon. Volotin, Resch-
danoff and Bosse played the leading
parts, and Donischnikoff conducted.
Krenek's Sprung Uber den Schat-
ten" is known in German as his most
neglected work. It's revival in the
Little Opera" of Leningrad was
original and brilliant in its stage set
tings. The characters of this opera
are supposed to be shadows of human
beings, leading a life fitting their
transcendental state. Employing
striking rhythmical effects, and paint
ing with dazzling colors, the composer
gives an ironic picture of life. Special
devices are required to achieve I'M
usual stage effects. Nikolai Smolish,
the producer, used silver decor made
all the more effective by the sAillful
lighting. The changing scenes I'M

Slowly, under the iron heel of Gar
ism, the simple peasant, suffering,
bleeding, starving, awakens with the
masses of all Russia in revolution and
ends victorious in the Bolshevik vic
tory of October 1917.
The whole story of the Russian
masses is here: Oppression, exploita-
ton, revolution. In a contrast that
never allows one to forget for a
single moment, is the cruelty of the
master class, their ever driving desire
for profit, their final defeat. In one
respect, the sub-titles did justice to
the picture: "There is no attempt at
propaganda" the Russian Workers
government is Content only in pre-
senting actual facts leading up to the
revolution"
Kerensky is the only actual figure
of the times pictured. He is presented
in ridicule as a leader of workers,
mistrusted and finally overthrown.
The rest of the story following closely
the actual events of the final days
of Czarism is beautifully acted. Only
few leading characters are profess
sional actors. The roles are played
by workers and peasants without pre-
{ vious movie training, simply, realis-
tically and in startling contrast to the
usual chest-heaving ham actors we are
plagued with.
There is feeling of hugeness and
power in the presentation. Remark
able effects are obtained by the vari-
Gus camera angles. The horses hoofs
and not the horse tell a story. The
sweat rolls off the huge, haggard face
of the factory worker. The wheel
stops revolving When the
war is declared the czarist govern
ment functions: Orders are given to
diplomats and the army. These
scenes are sheer genius. Only the
body and legs are shown. The figures
