EROM Berlin comes report that
John Reeds "Ten Days that Shook
the World" the newest Russian film
by the director of the famous "Po--
temkin" picture, M. Eisenstein. The
critics praise the film highly, one
scribe saying that the screening "was
magnificent compared with most
films shown on an ordinary screen"
This pictured history of the Boil
shevik revolution which was not
ready for the anniversary last Oc-
tober, has been showing in Berlin the
past few weeks.
The aim of the producer, according
to one reviewer, has been to make the
Russian masses, not the individuals
Len;n, Zinoviev, Trotsly, and their
companions, appear as the soul and
spirit of the revolution. Crowds of
soldiers, sailors and peas
ants function as unit, and this lack
of definite personality on which to
focus attention detracts from the in
terest of any particular situation.
Lenin is seen in one or two epis-
odes, Kerenski is shown dreaming of
power, a china figure of Napoleon
typifying his dreams. There are enc
hundred and twenty thousand people
on the screen in the film.
1t is the first time that the masses
themselves have been the stars of
picture, and the entire effect is of
some very nebulous constellation
wonderful in itself, but needing a
powerful telescope to disclose the
chief star The photography and the
individual scenes of streets, interiors
and wide perspectives are, however.
as fine as ever.

BARGE CAPTAINS
ARE PAID $40 IN
new YORK HARBOR
Whole Families Drown
From Overlooking
by a Worker Correspondent

The barge captains of New York
harbor are greatly exploited by the
boat companys employing them.
These men, many of them married
and having several children, are
forced to work for as low as $40 a
month.
Out of this sum they have to feed
and clothe their families. The only
hing given to them in most cases are
furniture and cooking utensils.
The work is very hazardous as the
least bit of overlooking is the cause
of boats sinking In many cases l
have known of entire families being
drowned.
With the high cost Of living, their
fare is meager and frugal and they
have little comfort in life compared
to shore workers as they are always
towing to different parts of the city
They have no sanitary conditions at
all, often being forced to take drink
ing water in barrel which gets stale
in few days and is often the cause
of disease.
The barge captain has no regular
hours of labor and is sometimes
handling lines day and night while
towing If he is unfortunate enough
to be ashore buying food when the
tug boat comes to tow him, he is in
most cases fired and thrown on the
labor market without home, clothes
or any visible means of support.
Their children receive no education
at all and grow up in ignorance about
the world they live in, yet. these con
ditions exist in the biggest metropolis
in the richest country on earth.

STAGE CONTESTS
AS FRUIT PACKING
SPEED-UP TESTS
Organization Is Need to
Defeat Piece-Work
by a Worker Correspondent

LOS ANGELES, Cal, (By Mai).-
employers of cheap labor are arrang-
ng contests in various branches Of
industry, such as fruits, vegetables
md cotton, etc. Why? First, they
want to know how long it takes to
10 certain thing when work is speed
ed up to the limit. Second, results of
such contests are made as basis for
wage scales, and rates for contracts
and pieee-work. For small prizes and
the "honor" of being mentioned as
back breaking fools in the press, a
number of thoughtless workers are
willing to harm the cause of labor and
help their exploiters. Wages and
rates are fixed according to what
specially trained experts can do. The
result is that the earnings Of aver
age persons, i.e., the majority of the
workers, are generally next to moth
ing.
. Orange Packing.
The eighth annual California Val
anein Orange Show will be held at
Anaheim, Southern Calf, from May
"a to June 3. The second world cham
pionship orange packing contest will
also take place there at the same
time.
If the records of last year are
beaten, the fruit workers benefit of
this affair will probably be in the
form of smaller wages and lower
rates for piece-work.
Experts are responsible for the
lowering Of the standard of living
of the workers, not only in the fruit
and vegetable lines, but also in the
cotton fields, in the woods as we'll as
on railroad construction work, etc.
Contracts and Piece-WOrk.
A few workers, people born and
raised in the cotton fields of southern
states, have picked as much as 500
pounds of cotton a day during con-
tests. But not even the most able
worker is able to keep up such speed
for any length of time. Some of those
nor-seeking" fools worked them
selves to death in a short time, ac-
cording to reliable information. From
so to 100 pounds is all an average
person can pick from sunrise to sun
set, i.e., in the Arizona and California
fields. And the rate is generally from
11a cents to cents per pound. In
the south, however, picking is a little
easier, but the picking rate is also
lower down there. Workers who man
age to make $40 week are consider
ing themselves lucky.
Station work (small contracts) on
the railroads and highways, etc, and
piece-work and contracting in the
woods, especially in the northwest,
have done much harm to the welfare
of the railroad and lumber workers.
Organization, not ack-breaking
contests, is the remedy for the de-
crease in wages. Organization will
also give piece-work and labor done
by contracts death blow. Down with
contests conducted in the interest of
the bosses! Migratory workers in
California and elsewhere take notice!

STRIKERS FORCED
TO PICKET 800 FEET
FROM SHOP Gates
Workers Must Organize
PhoeniXville Factory
on Worker Correspondent


pHUADEI PHIA. Pa. (By MaiD
The Federal Hosiery Mill at Cam
bria St, has gone - s+"''ie against
the wage cut, speed-up, etc.
Picketing is going on The fight
here Is hitter as the Federal Co. is
determined to crush the union of the
American Federation of Full Fash
Toned Hosiery Workers.
Grim Courage.
The indications are that the strike
may be long as the workers are dis
playing a grim courage that ought
to mean victory for them.
Two more mills are expected out
this week.
The hosiery workers strike is
spreading all over. At the Ajax Mills
all members of the American Fedora
ton of Full Fashioned Hosiery Work
ers, Local 69G, are out and the strike
is beginning to get even more bitter.
The picketing continues with the
ever-ready tools Of the bosses, the
police, keeping the pickets about 300
feet from the gate. This is an effort
to make the picketing less effective.
Mass Picketing.
The number of pickets is being in
creased, however, But it is mass pick
citing that the bosses fear and if this
can be accomplished by the strikers
there would be less chance of the
scabs' breaking thru the picket lines.
There should be a special attempt
made to organize those not in the
union.
The enemies of the workers, the
hosiery bosses, have attempted also
to crush the strikers by sending ma
chinery to Phoenixville, Pa, where it
can be operated by scab labor. Those
effected by the strike should see that
the plant at Phoenixville is organized.
Some of the strikers ought to go
to Phoenixville to picket and bring
out the scabs there.
Arrest Threatened.
One of the pickets at the Ajax Mill
has been threatened with arrest be-
cause she informed the mothers of
one of the scabbing girls of the strike
The picket, a militant young worker
feels that being arrested for helping
her fellow workers in their strike
against slavery and wage cuts, etc.
is not to be feared on her part.
The Ajax Hosiery Mills are placing
ads in the Philadelphia capitalist pa
pers for scabs. And, of course, the
Philadelphia papers, being tools Of
the bosses, are ever ready to suppress
news of the strike and print lies
against the workers.
1t is only The DAILY WORKER
which is a workers paper, which will
cooperate with the strikers in their
struggle against wage cuts, speed-up
and the destruction of their union.
The workers in the hosiery industry
ask the support Of all workers against
their enemy, the capitalist owners of
the industry, whose fiendish desire
for more and more profits is forcing
the workers to live like beasts by
lowering their wages and their stand

recommending this super medicine,
and as a result the Konjola Man,
who is at the Hook Drug Store, Hi
nois and Washington streets, il be-
sieged daily by scores who come to
learn of the astonishing health re-
coveries brought to pass by this SUI
per-compound. The Konjola Man
makes no vague promises, no sweep
ing claims, but simply points out
the merits of Koniola, and cites
case after case wherein it has
triumphed when all other medicines
and treatments have failed. The
files of Konjola fairly overflow with
the sincere and enthusiastic testi-
monials of those who have found
new and glorious health in this re-
markable remedy, and many of
these endorsements come from those
who had abandoned all hope of
finding relief. Konjola comes to In
dianapolis, and everywhere, backed
by its record of success. Konjola is
willing to stand on this marvellous
record of victories in the most stub
born and obstinate cases. Among
those who are we'll and happy again,
thanks to this master medicine, is
Miss Betty Black, 427 North Euclid
avenue, this city. Jubilant over her
remarkable experience with the new
medicine, Miss Black said to the
Konjola Man:
II can think of just one word
that describes Konjola, and that
word is wonderful For several
years suffered with indigestion in
most severe form. I had no ap-
petite, and what little I did eat I
had to force myself to take. AS a
result, however light the meal, I
suffered from gas, bloating and
palpitation. Naturally, through
lack of proper nutrition and imper-
feet digestion, I lost weight and
strength. My nerves broke under
the strain, and became badly de-
pleted generally. Medicine after
medicine I tried, but without any
? results, and day after day I be-
came weaker.
Il had read and heard of Kon-
jola, and its amazing success in
cases of stomach and nervous trou-
bleS such as mine, and I resolved
to give this new medicine a chance.
My case was of such long standing,
and my condition SO bad, that I did
not expect quick results. What
surprise was in store for me. From
the very first of the treatment I
felt better, and now that I have
taken six bottles I am so near nor
NAL health, that I know brief
continuation with Konjola will
make me entirely we'll. What a
pleasure it is to be able to make
such a fine report, and I endorse
this wonderful remedy with all the
strength I have"
Thousands of such cheerful, sin
cere testimonials fill the Konjola
files; thousands of cases wherein
Konjola amazed sufferers with its
quick results. The Konjola Man is
at Hook Drug Store, Illinois and
Washington streets, this city, where
he is meeting the public daily, ex-
planning the remarkable properties
of this wonder medicine 4Sonjola
is sold at every Hook store in this
city, and by all the leading drug
gists throughout this section.-Ad-
