STARK LOVE" AND "MOANA'
AT CAME OTODAY

Beginning today the Film Arts
Guild is presenting at the Cameo
Theatre for its revival showing
Stark Love-" the motion picture of
life among the southern mountain
GERS, which is actually portrayed by
the natives. This film which was
directed by Karl Brown, is being
shown coincidentally with its release
IN Europe where it received an ex-
cellent reception in all the CONT
mental capitals.
The companion film to "Stark
Love" is Robert j. Flaherty's cinema
OF the South Sea Islands, "Moana /"
On the same program the Film Arts
Guild has exhumed from private
vaults some unique examples of the
earliest films ever taken including
what is reputed to be the very first
motion picture ever "shot," that
called THE Charge of the French
Brigade" This selection is particu-
larly notable because it contains the
very first screen test ever submitted
to by Charlie Chaplin. In the short
space of about fifty feet we see
Charlie exhibiting his famous wad-
dle-walk and shoulder-shrug, which
was later to convulse the nations

League Worries CMTC
Officers

FORT EUSTIS, Va, July 10. =
The first lecture given to the Citi-
zens Military Training Camp re-
cruits here was devoted to denuncia-
ton of letters sent to those going
to the camps by the Young Workers
(Communist) League in Philadel-
phia.
C. M. T. C. recruits were warned
of the danger of reading radical lit
erature, and all who believe in the
rule of Morgan were called upon to
defend their" institutions against
the Reds"
The letters, which worry the mill
tary authorities so much, pointed
out to young workers going to the
camps the role of the CMTC and
the nature of the preparations for
new imperialist wars.

BY WALT CARMON

THOUGH the monstrous murder of
Sacco and Vanzetti occurred only
one year ago, there is already a
substantial and growing literature
to remind US of the facts of their
innocence, their courage, their 10y
atty to the working class and the
great movement of world labor in
their behalf. Workers will find in
this literature much interest and
much inspiration for their activity
in the struggle.
THE Life and Death of Sacco and
Vanzetti," by Eugene Lyons, is
dramatic reading. 1t is the com
plete story of the two workers who
came from Italy to the "land of op-
portunity," their struggle for a live
lihood, their activity in the labor
movement and finally their judicial
murder.
"Sacco and Vanzetti-Labor's
Martyrs" by Max Shachtman, pre-
sents just as dramatic reading, with
sharper working class viewpoint.
John Dos Passos, noted poet and
playwright, wrote of the frame-up
more briefly in a pamphlet, Facing
the Chair"
THE case of Sacco and Vanzetti,"
by Felix Frankfurter, is a lawyers
analysis of the evidence and facts.
All of these have much of interest
for the worker. Here is the history,
the evidence, the drama and the les
sons Of the great crime. But poetry
and art were also effected. Stirred
by the fierce struggle between the
oligarchy and the workers for the
lives of Sacco and Vanzetti Fred
Ellis, noted staff artist of The
DAILY WORKER, for full month
preceding the execution, contributed
a series of powerful cartoons that
attracted attention not only through
out the country, but in Europe and
Latin America as well. These draw
ings are issued in the collection
"The Case of Sacco and Vanzetti in
Cartoons.
"An Anthology of Poetry on Sacco
and Vanzetti" contains but little of
value. Editing and most of the
poetry coming from writer's far re-
moved from the labor movement,
their horror is expressed in purely
humanitarian approach. 1t does,
however, include some good verse
which appeared in the radical press,
particularly Murder at Midnight"
by A. B. Magil.
Motion pictures of those stirring
days have been ordered destroyed.
The ruling class wants no visible
evidence of their black deed. The
daily press accounts and magazine
articles must be found in the files
of libraries. This literature, meager
as yet, but growing, will serve as
labor history to remind us ever of
the murder of Sacco and Vanzetti-
two martyrs of our class.

STEEL WORKERS CALL

NEWPORT, KY, July IL OPP -

off after exactly 7 years of strug-
gle, ending in defeat for Locals 5,
Is, 16 and II of the Amalgamated
Assn. of Iron, Steel & Tin Workers.
The fight was waged for union
recognition. The Andrews Steel
Co. and the Newport Rolling Mill
Co. were ready to recognize Local 5
of the skilled steel workers but
would not recognize the semi-skilled
and unskilled in the other locals Of
the union. All the 1900 workers
struck together.

1t was a winning strike until Gov.
Morrow of Kentucky sent armored
tanks and machine gun companies
to Newport. Homes Of strikers
were riddled with bullets, tanks rode

FASCIST POLICE
TORTURE WOMAN

KISHINEFF, Rumania, July 49,
After being submitted to cruel
tortures for three days by the Ru-
manian police to extract "informa-
tion," Nine. Kollantay, aunt of the
Soviet ambassador to Norway, was
declared insane and taken to an
insane asylum in straitjacket.
She was arrested in connection
with the murder of an editor of
monarchist newspaper, and the Ru-
manian police took this as an OPP
portunity to attempt to make her
talk" The information extracting
torture was so severe, that either
she really became insane or was
declared so by the police in order
to get rid of her after their false
charges.
She was charged with lodging
Soviet spy in her house, and was
therefore considered by the police as
person who had much desirable
information.

A PLEASANT JOB FOR
LIFE; A SHORT STORY

to tighten the lower bolts. To get
to those at the top he would use a
ladder.
THE taste of MONDAY beer was
still in Sans mouth as he
climbed the ladder on Monday after
noon. He drew his hand across his
mouth reminiscently before he
started working with the wrench
The bolts were good and and tight
Up one step. Tighten. Another
step. Turn. His head was nearly
level with the crane rail.
Jack the craneman was busy. The
foreman had bawled him out for
punching in after second siren after
lunch. Everyone wanted him. He
slammed the controller of the crane
to high as the lead press man sig
nailed.
Sam was at the second bolt from
the top. They had good beer at the
Brown Bear. Turn wrench. Try the
Bear again tomorrow. Look out.
Sam!" someone yelled.
Jack was too slow with the brakes
The iron girder of the crane
smashed into Sans face as he
turned around. The edge of the Cir
der sliced off the tip of his nose
like a razor blade as the crane was
slowing down. The blood gushed
from his forehead and eyes and
nose and he felt the crunch of break
ing teeth. The wrench hit the con-
crete floor with little clang. He
dropped, shrieking in agony. But
he got up, pointing a trembling
finger to Jack, while the blood
soaked into his shirt, ooh, you b.
-" he shrieked. "You done It'll"
You done it! You mad b-!"
Then he tainted.
A machine driver brought an old
sack for him to lie on. 1t was
greasy and stank of oil and resin.
Then the ambulance came.
GAM was off work six months be-
- fore he swung the wrench again.
The surgeon had left some of his
nose. There was big scar on his
forehead which showed up white
against the yellow skin. His eyes
watered lot, and he had to battle
them with boracic every night. And
once, when he was working night
shift, he found Ted the wire-winder
pouring tea in his cup. Don't use
that cup, Ted" he said. 81 just
washed me eye in it." ooh Christ"
Ted said, and vomited.
The suggestion of the lisp was
gone-he had no teeth. And he was
no longer the loud mouthed old b.
He became old Sam. His
voice was thin and piping, like the
voice of an old man selling shoe
laces on the market square.
The machine driver who put the
sack under him would tell the story
to every new man told off to help
him.
What compensation did he get?"
he was asked one night.
"Ah, he got compensation while
he was out. When he came back
the firm offered him a lump sum or
a job for life. He took the job for
life. Sam always wanted steady
job"

u. S. POLICY
IOWA RID
THE USSR

THE history of the Soviet-American
relations, from the October Rev.
olution to the recent refusal of the
U. S. Treasury to accept a shipment
of Soviet gold, is contained in a vol
ume published by International Pub
fishers, New York, american Policy
Toward Russia Since 1917" by
Frederick Lewis Schuman, an in
structor in Political Science in the
University Of Chicago.
The author traces the gradual
development of American policy
from blockade and armed interven-
ton in 1917-191S to the pretended
policy of "Trade Without Recogni-
ton" in 1928. In conclusion, the
policy of the United States toward
the Soviet Union is summarized as
follows:
1.-THE United States, alone of the
world powers, has refused recog-
milton and has acted upon the as
sumption of the impossibility of
peaceable intercourse and the in
evitability of conflict. Few
would contend that the American
government has handled the Rus
sian problem since 1917 in man
ner to contribute to international
peace and understanding. It's
past behavior, though intelligible
to the American student as a ma
tural manifestation of the fear
and aversion with which the dom
inant class of one social order
views another which casts its sac
red idols in the mire and threat
ems it with destruction, can APP
pear to Russians only as an in
comprehensive combination of
muddle-headed stupidity and
scheming malevolence. It's pres
ent policy, like that of the Bald
win cabinet in Great Britain since
May, 1927, rejects all hope of
peace and reconciliation and pro-
claims implacable war between
capitalism and Communism until
one has destroyed the other or
both have destroyed civilization
between them"
THE recent attempts Of Secretary
l of State Kellogg and Under Sec
rotary of the Treasury Mills
(Hoover's lieutenant) to assert that
the policy of non-recognition is no
obstacle to commerce are refuted by
the actions of the state department
and the treasury department, re-
spectively, in opposing Soviet cred
its and refusing to accept Soviet
gold. The author points out that
the recent gold rejection, 'like the
ban on long term loans, constitutes
an important qualification to the of
ficial policy of trade without recog-
nition.'" "The official position
maintained at Washington, that non
recognition does not constitute an
obstacle to commerce, is therefore
not in accordance with the facts"
