WORKERS RULE IN
MINES OF u. SIR.

The trade union structure, which
Strachey outlines clearly, leads up
from the mine local to the Central
Executive Committee in Moscow.
Strachey writes enthusiastically of
the functioning of the union with
it's local conflict committees, its
mines production conferences, and
its technical specialists who along
with rank and file representatives
sit on the central boards in Mos
cow. Not himself a Communist,
Strachey sees in the various phases
of trade union life in the Soviet
Union opportunity for every worker
to find development, self-expression,
and a satisfying share of social re-
sponsibility.
One important fact Strachey fails
to emphasize. No union, however
thoroughly organized, militant in
struggle and honestly led, could
secure for the rank and file
workers in a capitalist state such
protection and such responsibility
as belong to the workers in the Sow
let Union, The Importance of the
workers state as the decisive factor
in the picture of workers control
is much too light sketched. Even
the strongest kind of miners union
would find itself powerless to achieve
under the United States of Morgan,
Mellon, DUPONT, Rockefeller, insult,
ct al, workers control OF the work
shop, as Strachey describes it. But it
is also true-and this is far more
important-that for miners and
workers in other basic industries
strong class-conscious unions are a
necessary first step toward such
workers control. Without their ag-
gressive support of the revolutionary
state power of the working class, the
status actually achieved in the Sow
let Union will remain for us merely
an idle dream.

AMERICA ARRAIGNED! Edited
by Lucia Trent and Ralph Chey
ney. Dean & Co., New York.
Reviewed by HENRY REICH, Jr.
THE cry of protest that swept the
world against the execution Of
Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Van
zetti and the wave of class bitter.
ness that filled the hearts of work.
ers everywhere upon the consumma-
ton of that murder, are perpetuatec
so far as the poets are concerned
in America Arraigned" The
Civil War and the French Revolu-
ton gave rise to songs of patriotism
and partisanship. But perhaps
never before in history has a single
world event inspired so much poetry
as the case of these two martyrs to
the cause of labor. This anthology
embraces most of the important
poems written on the subject.
Some sixty poets are represented
in the volume, which is divided into
three parts: Before Governor Full
Ter and His Advisory Commission
Refused to Interfere" after Inter
cession was Refused but Before the
Crucifixion," and after the Cruel
fixion." Certain of the poems are
pointed out as contributing some
thing of literary value as well as OF
propaganda value to the book. Per-
haps the finest poem from these two
points of view is that of A. B. Ma.
gil. His Murder at Midnight,
which originally appeared in the
Daily Worker, is a vital and highly
effective piece of work. 1t contains
such cry as this:
Go back, slaves, go back.
Go back to the factories, the dane
ing machines.
Go back dancing slaves.
Noon.
(The sun is a big round brass
spitoon.)
Life seethes, blown up.
Collapses like a pricked balloon.

slaves"
Another poem that stands out il
"They are Dead Now" by John Do
Pasos, beginning This isn't poem
and concluding make a poem o.
that if you dare" with an interlud,
on what men think about in prison
and something of the aftermath o.
the murder James Rorty's Gen

cellent piece of invective:
Understand this, you bleak-hearts,
you gray impostors, you wisps,
you spectres, half-born, death

| No man votes death to another !;

Seven years we pied and pied with

PAUL. IS A
SUCCESS"
By DORA AZERSKY.

PAUL. was American born and
bred in the poorest, dingiest sec
ton of New York's east side. Her
home had that mouldy smell which
indicates dire poverty, her parents,
religious fanatics belonging to an
ancient world. In such surround
ings PAUL. grew up, far from any
thing expressive of beauty, of sun
shine, of anything pertaining to
modern ideas or to progress, and
certainly far from entertaining any
free. independent thoughts.
Although very young, she is
searching for work Thru the many
streets of New York, day after day
she drags herself in search of a
much coveted job. Days of eager,
frantic search and monotonous eve
nings of brooding and disappoint-
ment in her crowded, poverty
stricken east side home. PAUL. had
an inexhaustible patience. Today
was unsuccessful, tomorrow, may
be? But, what did tomorrow have
in store? The same dark, bitter
search and suspense, and disap-
pointment.
But PAUL. must not protest
against the sweet uses of adversely.
Her mother and her teacher taught
her to accept everything without a
murmur. She is obedient, there is
no rebellion in her passive nature.
Her mother and teacher could not
be wrong, their teachings are TN
assailable. Her mother is so much
older and wiser than she, and her
teacher-a teacher knows every
thing. PAUL. idolizes her mother and
her teacher and does not question
their counsel. She is a true product
of non-resistance.
A LONG time passed, and PAUL.
- finally obtained employment.
Now she is surely satisfied. Has
she no cause to be? She is earning
her own living and can hold her
head up. The world has been good
to her. At no time does she talk of
the hardships she encounters in the
shop nor of her needs at home. She
appears always satisfied, and when
asked, replies, "Why should l kick?
l am satisfied"
Once PAUL. came into the shop
without her usual cheerfulness, and
suddenly she commenced unloading
her mind. Her work-mates were
not far removed from her general
way of looking at things and were
in accord with her unconcern. PAUL.
related the hard struggle they had
at home to make ends meet and
ended by relating in a sad tone,
'Last night none of us slept a wink.
Father coughed and coughed, but

MALTA, Aug. 81 (UP).-A vio-

apes? The tiger Tomorrow has
smelled you, the sky
Breeds vultures, though you sow
hundred Christs on every hill
Death is your harvest, it will not
be long.
Among others contributing excel.
lent material are Lola Ridge, Edna
st. Vincent Millay and Joseph T
Shipley. Considering the high stand.
ing in the literary world of some OF
the other contributors, their poems
are rather disappointing. This ap-
plies to Alfred Kreymborg, Witte1
Bynner, Arthur Dawson Ficke
Kathleen Millay, Countee Cullen
John Gould Fletcher, and the COM
pliers of the anthology, Ralph Chey-
ney and Lucia Trent.
One of the finest contributions to
the book is not a poem at all. 1t is
statement by William Ellery Leon
ard in which he voices his regret
that he is unable, on account of i'll
health, to participate in the anthol-
ogy with poem in tribute to those
two brave and noble spirits, Sacco
and Vanzetti." He says: II would
not seem by my silence to give con-
sent to this terrible deed-terrible
for its social implications of con-
temporary upper class stupidity and
smugness, even more for it's fierce
moment of injustice and cruelty.
To the compilers of the anthology
must be given credit for preserving
unique and invaluable poetic rec.
ord of the Sacco and Vanzetti case
Some of these poems will live along
with the martyrs in the memory OF
the working class which so recently
demonstrated that Sacco and Van.
zetti are still alive and an active
force in the struggles of labor.
