An experiment in the direction Of

was made by the organization IF tho
Rural Itinerant Theatre in 1927
by the Moscow Theatrical Admin
istration. Before establishing this
Itinerant Theatre the actors who
promoted this experiment had Civ
en- over so performance in 40 vii
lagos in the various districts of the
province of Moscow. The PERFORM
ances of the Itinerant Theatre. are
usually associated with educational
work. Before the raisino Of tho
curtain an address is delivered
giving an analysis of the play. and
after the conclusion of the per-
Torrance an address is given on the
rendering of the play. Usually
lively discussion ensues. in the
course of which the actors take
stock of the views and opinions ex-
pressed by the audience. The &C
tors then acquaint themselves with
the activity of the local dramatic
circle, imparting their experiences
to the members, advising them on
technical matters, and so on. Some
times the actors rehearse with the
rural amateurs the play which they
have in hand for presentation by
the circle.
The visits of the Puppet Theatre
to villages in the province of Mos
COW were everywhere welcomed with
intense enthusiasm, contributing to
the general activity for the spread
ing of culture in the outlying vii
lagos.
The theatrical activity in the
rural districts is considered by the
Soviet authorities as an essential
item in the great Cultural Revolu-
ton which is going on through the
length and breadth of the Soviet
Union.

PROTESTS CROW
IN |. W. W. CASE
Plan Big Conference
in Washington

Protests against the continued
Imprisonment of the Centralia pris-
oners in Walla Walla, Wash, and
demands for their unconditional
pardon continue to pour in upon
Governor Roland H. Hartley and
H. B. Clausen, chairman of the Pa
role Board, from labor organiza-
lions and prominent individuals.
Robert Whitaker, author and for
merly minister of the First Bap-
list Church of Seattle, and Profess
sor David Starr Jordan, president
emeritus of Leland Stanford Uni
versity, California, are among those
who have added their protests, ac-
cording to letters received by the
national office of International La
Dor Defense, 80 East 18th St., New
York.
Whitaker's Letter
Whitaker, in his letter to Gov
ernor Hartley, declares:
"The continued Imprisonment in
Walla Walla of the eight members
of the I. w. ". by reason of the
hysteria of the after-war period is
heavy handicap upon the reputa-
ton of Washington, :. . Particularly
at this time the United States is in
special need of every possible ex-
hibit of the spirit of tolerance and
good will. May l urge that your
boards release these men immedi-
ately and Internationally"
Professor David Starr Jordan
writes:
ri understand that the eight
members of the I. w. w. sent to the
penitentiary from Centralia are APP
plying for pardon. 1t is certain
that the treatment of the Centralia
affair has come as a disgrace to
the State of Washington. l sin
cerely hope that the proper authori-
ties Of the State of Washington can
see their way to grant an uncondi-
tional pardon to these people. I am
not personally acquainted with any
of them"
International Labor Defense points
out that the actions on the part of
Professor Jordan and Robert Whit
aker are evidences of the depth of
the mass pressure exerted by the
workers against the continued i'm
prisonment of the framed up Cen
tralia workers. Only organized
mass protest of the workers in the
unions, the shops and factories will,
however, bring the necessary pres
sure on the lumber-trust owned
State Of Washington to free Eu-
gene Barnett, McInerny and the
others, the organization declares.
A statewide conference of labor
unions, farm organizations and
other bodies in the State of Wash
ington is planned in the near flu
ture to crystalize the protest of the
workers, writes Charlotte Todes,
Seattle I. L. D. secretary, and also
secretary of the Centralia Liberation
Committee.

NEW JERSEY AIDS
IN Mine RELIEF
Meetings Being Held
in Many Cities

A mass meeting which crowded
the Workers Hall at 3OS Elm St.,
Perth Amboy, gave Miners Relief
and Defense Week a flying start
in the state Of New Jersey last Sat
urday night. A. Weary, striking
miner, told Of the heroic struggle
the miners are making in the face
of tremendous obstacles. He stressed
the necessity Of supporting their
struggle now that Lewis and the
United Mine Workers of America
bureaucracy have come out in the
open as betrayers of the miners
strike.
All the workers present pledged
their active support in helping the
miners build a rank and file union.
They showed their pledge was not
an empty one by contributing gen.
erously to a collection. Edward s.
Stanley, relief organizer of New
Jersey, said that American work.
ers must answer Lewis. They must
support the -the-Union Com
mittee until the new miners union
is organized and Lewis is thrown
out.
New Brunswick followed close on
the heels of Perth Amboy. Stanley
also spoke at an outing of the Hun
garian Workers Club Sunday. Sim
liar pledges were made and large
collection was taken. Workers all
ever New Jersey are modifying this
week for house to house collections
and other activities to support the
miners. Newark plans mass
on Friday.

COMMUNISTS IN
GAS RATE FIGHT
Cleveland District In
Lead of Issue

Especial to The DAILY WORKER)
CLEVELAND, July 24.-The city
of Cleveland is now in the midst OF
gas fight. In the month of MAY.
the contract with the East Ohio
Gas Company expired, and the oues-
ton of rates came up.
The East Ohio Gas Company gets
its gas from the Hope Gas Co., a
subsidiary of the Standard Oil Co
The East Ohio Co. demanded an in
crease in rates of the small con-
sumers, but allowed a reduction of
rates to the big consumers.
Communists Protest.
An open session of the city coun-
Gil was held at that time, at which
a representative of the Workers
(Communist) Party was present. 1.
Amter, District Secretary of the
Party, called the attention of the
Council to the injustice of the pro-
posals. There were tens of thou
sands of unemployed at the time
and the prospect was that the com
ing winter would be even harder on
the workers.
But aside from the immediate
hardships to be imposed, Amter
asked the reason for putting the
burden on the shoulders of the work
ers, and tightening the load on the
big consumers
Amter was supported BY Kennedy
an independent member of the coun-
Gil, but the council tentatively &C.
cepted the proposals of the East
Ohio Company, although it also
drew the city manager into the con-
troversy.
City Manager Hopkins proceeded
to investigate, and was forced to
adopt the position of the Communist
Party, that the small consumers
were being compelled to bear more
than their share-that the rates pro-
posed by the East Ohio Gas Co. not
only should not be raised to the
small consumers, but should be low
cred all round. -
Huge Profits.
According to his figures and an
alysis, the East Ohio Co. has more
than duplicated it's investment in its
dividends, and has applied $8,000,-
600 of the profits to the extension
of its plant.
The fight is now on between the
city manager and the manager of the
East Ohio Gas Co. But it is to be
noted that the position taken by the
Communists has become basis for
the negotiations"

fBy a Worker Correspondent


POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y, July "a.
The article exposing the condi-
tions in the De laval Separator
Company, which was published a
few weeks ago in the Daily Worker,
has ben the principal object of con-
versation among us ever since.
Conditions Miserable
While conditions of labor in our
town are on the lowest level, our
daily press and the so-called labor
paper, Truth, published weekly by
our labor takers, never give much
thought to real labor conditions
here. 1t was the Daily Worker that
made us think. We are going to
continue to read It and tell others
to read it.
Things here are really worse than
enc certain correspondent men
toned. I am working in the De
Laval for four years and here is
what l make for IL months:
S1,093,39. How can man keep up
his family with that miserable pay?
The U. S. labor statistics say that
$4,000 is the minimum.
Wife Must Work
My wife has to neglect our chill
dren and go to work in factory
for SIP week. Working condi-
tons for her are no better, if not
worse, than in the De Laval plant.
She works in clothing factory.
The average earnings of an OPP
orator or presser is about $50 a
week. There are quite a number of
clothing factories in our town where
few thousand workers are en-
ployed, as Cohn and Goldman
called "Garter"), Regents Coat
Company, Rosenthal. etc. There are
also many cloak, dress, shirt and
nscktie factories, in which many
young girls-many under age-and
women are employed.
Many Sweat Shops
The sweat-shop system is in full
bloom here. After days work
clothing is brought home, where
little children help their mothers.
In some of these houses the sani-
tary conditions are awful.

To cap all this, we have a system

Rural Theatres Popular With
Peasants IN the S0wet Union
By S. MaIinoyskaya.

OJ ~
ONE of the distinctive features of
y the village in the USSR is its
extreme remoteness from the cul-
tural centers owing to the weak de-
velopment Of railways in the coun-
try, in comparison with other coun-
tries. In many parts of the Soviet
Union, particularly in the north,
the village is cut off from the rest
of the world during the winter and
autumn seasons.
Hence the great Importance at
tached to the penetration of cul-
ture among the masses of rural in
habitants, and to the organization
of the peasants theatre in the U.
S. S. R. In this article we deal
only with the development of the
village theatre in the rural districts
of the province of Moscow In other
parts of the Soviet Union, particu-
larly in the Ukraine, there is also
constant development in the activ-
ity of organizing rural theatrical
performances. But this will form
the subject of another article.
In the province OF Moscow at the
present time, with population of
100000, there are over 5000 dra-
matte circles in the villages. On the
money realized from the perform
ances the circles purchase newspa-
pers for the villages, organize read
ing rooms, etc. There were cases
when the rural dramatic circles were
among the first promoters and in
vestors of rural societies for the
purpose of purchasing agricultural
machinery.
Needless to say the circles are as
yet poorly equipped in regard to
theatrical means. The majority of
them have no special stage, the
scenery is mostly home made and
of the most primitive kind. The
performances are generally got up
without any expert professional
guidance.
In localities with an experienced
guide, the activity of the dramatic
circles is conducted upon a proper
plan: the play is chosen, general
study is made Of the characters in
the play, and only then the produc
ton is undertaken.
The preparations for the produc-
ton of play in a rural locality
are more in the nature of educa-
tional work, in which part is taken
both by the producers of the plav
and by their prospective patrons.
The great drawback in art activity
in the rural districts is the lack of
experienced leadership, and in recent
years there were steps taken to raise
sufficient body of experienced
rural leaders in the pursuit of the
arts. Great work in this direction
is being accomplished by the "Pol-
enov Memorial Association" at
tached to the Peasants Home of
Moscow.
The essential aim in the activ-
lty OF the Peasants Home is to SUP
ply art instruction to the village.
For this purpose it maintains q
model theatre and body of exper-
fenced theatrical instructors. IT
also undertakes to select suitable
plays for production by village
amateurs. The Peasants Home ar
ranges also from time to time spe
clal training courses for rural
theatrical workers.
Considerable activity is also car
