MACDONALD GAGS
WAR BLAbbER At
|. |. P. CONGRESS-
Attack Communists at
I. L. P. Meet

Continued from Page One
enforced his specious remarks with
a resolution critical of the govern
ment's foreign policy, particularly
insofar as it involved the Anglo
French naval agreement.
MacDonald's address and resolu-
ton brought back to the conference
the atmosphere of political mani
pulation, which left it for moment
with Kenworthy's intrusion of the
war danger, but which character
lied the remainder of the session.
The belief that labor leaders
would be in a strategic position to
form a government after the election
but only by cooperation with the
Liberal Party-had been growing
recently among responsible labor
leaders. 1t had been so general that
it was leading to animated discus
sions as to whether, in such an
event, liberals should be given seats
in the labor cabinet.
At the same time, the possibility
of a liberal-labor arrangement for
defeat of the conservatives was re-
ceiving serious attention. This idea
was exploited by the right wing
laborites, such as Phillip Snowden,
Hamilton Fyfe and H. N. Brails-
ford, but was opposed by other ele-
ments of the party.
Liberal-Labor Party Combine.
Hopes held by leaders of both
parties that Liberals and Laborites
might combine in the approaching
election received dampening from
George Lansbury, chairman of the
Labor Party and president of the
conference, who believes that his
Party will fare better if not in
volved in an alliance with the rem
nants of the Liberal Party.
Lansbury further declared, in the
course of his speech, owe welcome
with the deepest gratitude the Rus
sian demand for total and complete
disarmament" In the next breath
he asserted that no Communists are
wanted in the Labor Party ranks.
Under cover of his remarks, pro-
posals were passed making Commu-
nists ineligible as delegates to ma
tional or local conferences of the
L Dor Party. Communists are
further forbidden to speak from La
Dor Party platforms at public meet
ings.
A sporadic attack on the partici-
patton of the Labor Party delegates
in the Simon Statutory Commission
to investigate the government of In
dia was quashed by Macdonald,
again acting as official silencer.

BRONzE BOSSES
FORM TRUST TO
FIGHT WORKERS
Men Must Organize to
Fight Combine
by a Worker Correspondent

by a Worker Correspondent
Speaking about trusts, we may
add another one, which was recently
formed, it is called the General
Bronze Corp. The object of the
newly formed trust is not only to
control the prices of the bronze
products and to crush their COM
petitors, but also to control the
wages and the working conditions
of their employees.
The fact is that, although it is
busy in the bronze line now and
mechanics are badly needed, when
bronze worker is applying for a
job he is offered a price that is
less than laborer is getting. The
only favor that the bosses are 60
ing to do their workers now is that
they are giving them chance to
work overtime, but this only means
that they are lengthening their
working hours and undermining the
health of the workers, and at the
same time the bosses are piling up
big profits.
Some of the workers fall for the
overtime proposition and fail to see
that through organization they
would accomplish great deal more.
Organization is Needed.
1t is true that while working over
time the bronze worker is making
an extra few cents, but this will not
improve and will not change his
conditions. What the bronze work.
ers really need is to shorten their
work day and have a few dollars
more in their pay envelope, in order
tn make a decent living, and this
will be achieved only through organ
ization.
A move in this direction has been
started, many are joining the union,
but the move as it seems is a little
bit too slow. We are sure that if
the bronze workers would be so slow
on the jobs for the bosses they
would be- fired.
Let those who did not join as yet
speed up little and we will be able
to use out the opportune time, the
busy time for our advantage.
Why should the bosses get all the
bacon? Join the union, fellow
bronze worker, and demand your
share also. A. ROSENFELD.

Takers MOVE IN
French STRIKE
Reactionary Union for
Govt Arbitration

PARIS, Oct. Following the
joining of the textile strike by the
Communist unions yesterday, which
created general textile strike in
Northern France, officials of the
Central Operatives Union decided
today to try to force a settlement of
the wage dispute by taking it to ar
bitration under the existing French
law.
The reactionary union officials
also decided to propose a law to
parliament which will provide for
the extension of the present arbi-
tration law to all strikes.
The Communist leaders of the
strike denounce this move not only
as one intended to break the present
strike, but also a move to betray
any general strike movement in the
future on the part of the workers.

DOCK STRIKERS
TO MASS PICKET
Australian Govt for
Shipowners, Charge

MELBOURNE, Victoria, Oct. 2
CUP. Maritime and transport
workers unions, at a conference to-
day, decided to fight the shipowners
and extend the present port strike,
now only partially effective.
Militants dominated the meeting
in the Melbourne Trades Hall. A
subcommittee was designated to re-
port on plane by which all workers
would be instructed to refrain from
taking out licenses under the trans
port workers act. Councils of ac-
tion," will be formed in each federal
state.
Strong picketing forces will be
organized and electrical and other
workers would be instructed to be
ready at all times for any necessary
action.
Every union man will act as a
member of disciplined force to
distribute strike literature among
British seamen.
The motion said the transport
workers act was iniquitous and
charged that the Bruce government
had aligned itself with the shipown-
ers to break up the unions by free
labor.
MELBOURNE, Victoria, Oct.
(UP).-A plan to extend the pres
ent seaport strike to every dock
probably will be discussed Wednes-
day at a second meeting of mari
time and transport workers unions.
The meeting is scheduled to be
held in the Melbourne Trades Hall
where the workers met today and
resolved to fight shipowners to the
end and to oppose the taking out of
licenses under the transport work
ers' act.'
Recently there have been serious
clashes between strikers and police
and volunteer laborers. The strike
has been in partial effect for sew
eral weeks.

one way out, and that is the over
throw of the capitalist system that
breeds war.
George Jessel, as Eddie Rosen,
gives a splendid performance. He
is almost the whole show. Clara
Langsner, as his mother, is excel
lent. Edwin Jerome, as Mr.. King
of the I. M. c. A., is a louser, if
such term is permissible (of course
Mr.. Jerome is only louser in JUS
tice to the Y. M. c. Az, and Charles

shakes, but it is full of fun.

ono R. Z. Company Union S00ou Has Long Sheakiug
George Jessel Is Almost the
Whole Sh0W IN WAR S0ng'

1.-THE WAR SONG" at the Ma
tional, is called an American
play, and so it is, being based on the
drafting OF young Jewish boy to
save "king and country the king
in this case being the Yankee dol
lar and the country the private
ranch of Mr.. Morgan, the persona
fication of American Imperialism.
Eddie Rosen is bright young lad
who made good in Tin Pan Alley, but
made good in Tin Pan Alley, but
before he has a chance to marry a
millionaire's daughter la Irving
Berlin, the war breaks out and he
is taken away from his piano and
his doting mother and pitchforked
into uniform which does not dwell
easily on his sensitive skin.
Eddie dislikes the discipline and
monotony in the military training
camp, but, fortunately for him, his
captain likes to get cockeyed occa-
sionally, on which occasions Eddie
ships him home and saves a few of
the captains cigars for dry day.
Private Rosen's frequent infractions
of discipline make life miserable for
the officers, but he always manages
to escape severe discipline owing to
his charming disposition. Cannon
fodder, please take notice.
Young Mr.. Rosen finally gets to
France, where his friend, Captain
Conroy, gets killed. This is not so
good for Eddie. He spends most of
his time in the guard house.
A villain enters the piece in the
person of Bob Elkins, second lieu
tenant, who seduces Eddie's sister
1t was as a result of an effort to
avenge his sister that Eddie walked
right into German nest and got
captured. In the Teuton dugout he
was introduced to Mr.. Elkins, who
wandered hither, too.
The Germans, who looked spick,
span and prosperous, treated their
prisoners with courtesy. There was
nothing of the "Hun" about them.
Well, it is ten years since the war,
and American imperialism has other
"Huns" to deal with.
The threatened clash with Bob
Elkins did not materialize, but Ed
die learned from Bob that his
mother died, which climaxed his lit
any of woes, his sweetheart having
married a COB who was kicked out
of the navy because he was flat
footed and who served his country
hoofing for the benefit of the more
husky heroes whose arches had not
fallen.
The curtain falls on Eddie as he
leaves for prison camp chanting
prayer for his dead mother.
"The War Song" is anti-war in a
harmlessly comieal way. The satire
is modified with comedy. 1t is sat
urated with the cynicism of the
petty bourgeois intellectuals who
feel uncomfortable in the straight
jacket of modern capitalism, but
laugh it off rather than fight it off.
The fact is, though they gag at the
robotism of capitalism they fear the
proletarian revolution. Eddie Rosen
was snatched away to war just as
he was beginning to prosper. Too
bad. But for the exploited working
class who have no hope of prosper
ity under capitalism there is only

CREEK WAR PACT
IN NEGOTIATION
Y u G. oslavia Desires
Saloniki

BELGRADE, Oct. 2.-The Yugo-
slav government, without the coop
Grafton of the Da-matian-C roatian
opposition group, is now considering
pact with Greece which would
provide for an open passage to the
sea thru the Greek port of Saloniki
in case of war, it is reported by
those close to Serbian official cir
cles.
The difficulty of negotiating a
pact between the two governments
lies chiefly in Venizelos' recognition
of the Albanian kingdom, virtual
protectorate of Italy, and the pact
recently concluded between Greece
and Mussolini, which is considered
as being directed against Yugo-
slavia and her interests in the Bal
kans.
The opening of Saloniki to Yugo-
slavia is possibly the only condition
which will induce Belgrade to form
an agreement with Greece. Yugo-
slavia is practically land-locked, for
it's ports on the Adriatic are rem
dered ineffective by a range Of
mountains. Saloniki is the only port
which will give access to the sea
and will provide base for Mill
tary transportation in case of war.
