The art industry even has its
middle-men who leap from poverty
to riches, like the obscure boys who
cleaned up III the recent bull market
in New York. Thus Andre Salmon
the French art critic has a collection
worth millions. His Shares" did not
cost him cent, since it is the custom
of unknown French painters, whose
prospects are all in the future, to pre-
sent critics with samples of their work.
Now many of the painters who gave
Salmon gifts during the twenty years
of his activity as critic have fame
while Salmon has fortune.
What an artist like Please really

is hard to say, but Lozowiek reports
that he is friendly to the revolution
airy working class movement, and
that every evening he tunes in his
radio in his Paris studio to the Mos
cow wave length so that he can hear
the Kremlin chimes.

way. 1t is not the Reds that have
cornered the best cartoonists, but the
Reds that have given them the stuff
of which the best cartoons are made.
The class struggle has made Minor,
Ellis and Chopper what they are. And
the publication of a collection of car
toons that have grown out of the class
struggle is therefore an event, an i'm
portant artistic event in the life of
our movement.
Red Cartoons, 1928, is the third of
the annual collection of drawings from
the pages of The DAILY WORKER.
By far the greater part of it is de-
voted to the work of Fred Ellis, who
during the past year has become the
regular staff cartoonist of The DAILY
WORKER. The other artists repre-
sented are William Chopper, Hugo
Gellert, Jacob Burck, Maurice Becker,
William Siegel, M. P. (Hay) Bales
and X. A. Suvanto.
The art of Ellis dominates this
book. 1t is the art of a man who has
not merely seen and sympathised with
the struggles of the workingclass, but
who has felt them down to his very
bone. They have been part of him all
his life, not by choice, but necessity
the iron law of class. ''Fred Ellis"

For it must be remembered, Schnei-
der says by way of elaboration, that
"the Workers (Communist) Party,
which directs the Communist at
tempts TO penetrate into the Ameri-
can trade unions, in under control Of
the Third International. :" This
is the main reason for the failure.
That Beckerman and "Frenchie"
might have had something to do with
developments is perhaps unknown to
our investigator; that there might be
some significance in the fact that his
conclusions are drawn at the end of
1927 after the left wing setback in
stead of early in 1926 after the left
wing victory seems altogether to have
escaped "Comrade" Schneider.
Have the Communists failed to
capture" any unions?
"Comrade" Schneider, internal evil
dences disclose, received a consider
able part of his information-an in
sight-from another "comrade," ]. B
Salutsky Hardman. That explains
much, as one will immediately per-
'ceiyes who reads this monograph.
But the ultimate test, Comrades"
Salutsky and Schneider, of the sue
cess of the Communist activities with
in the trade unions, even when judged
~ the standards Of your wishy- washy
pragmatism is; chow they work in
the long rum"
And to form a true estimate of
the success Of Communist activities
within the trade unions during the
past period we must take account not
only Of the results of these activities
n the narrow sense but, what is vast
ly more important, we are obliged to
take account Of those activities which
are now developing without the re-
dictionary organizations which could
not have arisen without the earlier
efforts.
It is, of course, doubtful whether
Schneider, Salutsky-Hardman and
Norman Thomas can understand such
facts of dynamic development. This
is beyond the minds of liberal prag-
matists!
A study Of the influence of the
Communists within the trade unions
which will terminate a year from now
will have completely different con-
clusion to draw. For the great events
now going on in the labor movement
could not have taken place except for
the facts that the Communists worked
in the unions, were victorious, were
set back and rose again during
the past few years-as they will con-
tinue to win, be set back and win
again-from now on until the final
victory of the workingclass.

PHI D. SEES THRU GLASS EYE DARKLY
Studies Communist Activities But Trees Hide the Woods

there is the now famous incident of a
certain wire sent, or supposed to have
been sent, at the Boston 1925 emer-
gency convention of the furriers, "by
C. E. Ruthenberg, secretary of the
Workers. Party of America, to Will
liam Weinstock, reporter at the con-

(page 79). And where did Schneider
get the information that at the time
of the activities of the so-called Com
mittee to Preserve the Trade Unions
meetings of protest arranged by the
Communists in New York, Chicago,
Baltimore and Boston were
turned into Communistic demon
strations ?" (page 112)
An unverified report states that
"our author" was at one time mem
Der Of the Workers (Communist)
Party; that he was, earlier still, a
member of the Bolshevik Party in the
Soviet Union. Perhaps this report is
untrue and was merely circulated by
the teaching staff of Johns Hopkins
in order that "Comrade" Schneider OF
it's economic seminar might more cas-
ily carry cut the Boring from within"
policy of that institution in it's at
tempt to Capture" the Workers
Party.
If this is the case, these efforts
heve been far less successful, accord.
ing to the opinion Of this reviewer
than have been the efforts of the Com
munists whose purpose, according to
"Comrade" Schneider has been tc
capture" the American trade unions!
For "Comrade" Schneider also haz
succumbed to the current conviction
held by all good liberals and Depart
ment of Justice agents that the exclu-
sive objective of the Communists il
to capture" the organized labor
movement. How widely this concep-
ton is held is only by degrees coming
to light.
In his conclusion, after an examine
ton OF the six organizations VIII oh
the Communists have made special
effort to Capture" he declares:
ut is apparent from the forego-
ing study that the Workers Party
and the Trade Union Educational
League have failed in their attempts
to gain control over the American
Labor Movement. :" (p. 1881
There are reasons, he contends, for
this failure to capture these trade
unions. This is safe generalization
An things have their reasons. There
is probably even a reason why so
many good hod-carriers are spoiled
by going to Johns Hopkins! The
reasons for the Communist failure to
capture" the labor movement are APP
proximately two, says "Comrade'
Schneider.
Perhaps the most important
single cause of the lack of success
suffered by the Communists is the
lack of knowledge on the part of
their leaders concerning purely
American conditions"
This shows, of course, remarkable
insight! The Communists have failed
to capture the needle trades--(or have
they really failed?) The reason why
Sigman, for instance, has succeeded
(or has he really succeeded PTS be
cause he knows more about American
conditions than Hyman! If anyone
can see anything in this reasoning,
he is welcome to the insight.
