"In the sphere of athletic activ-
ity, two national indoor meets have
been held in Detroit, the second at
tracing over $50 athletes. Our ma
tional outdoor meet, which was held
in Waukegan in July of 1927, was
undoubtedly the biggest and most
complete workers athletic meet
ever held in this country. Activity
has been carried out in boxing,
wrestling, b baseball, basketball,
gymnastics, track and field sports
and soccer.
I'm relation to soccer, the Labor
Sports Union can point with pride
to the organization of the Metro
politan Workers Soccer League,
which consists of 80 teams number
ing 600 players. Through the or

Brooklyn, Eastern New Jersey, De-
troit and Chicago, the basis has
been laid for the setting up in the
near future of a labor soccer asso-
citation, national in scope, and chal-
longing the authority of the boss
controlled and corrupt United
States Football Association.
"In the field of publicity the La
Dor Sports Union has been issuing
regularly press service which has
been sent out to scores of labor pa
pers. However, the need of regu-
lar printed publication has been
greatly felt.

there will have to be rarried on a
more vigorous struggle against the
influense of the Amateur Athletic
Union, the YMCA, the industrial
sports leagues, ETC., which are the
instruments of the bosses in the
field of sports.
I'm order to make this conven-

possible, the Labor Sports Union
executive board, as per the decision
of the first convention, has issued a
call to all non-affiliated labor

sentatives and delegates.
"The executive board urges the

discussing the tasks of the coming

and of working out ways and means

AS l look around in the Washing

saying that the Save-the Union men

up your sleeves and fight this whole

Besides the official state film
companies l have named, a number
of private motion picture studios are
engaged in producing films with
purely commercial principles in
view. Therefore in speaking of So
Wet films we must look at the situa-
ton with an unbiased mind attuned
to facts, and must remember that we
are more prejudiced against Soviet
propaganda than the Russians are
against our business propaganda.
We cannot judge actual Soviet films
from the few examples-mostly pro-
auctions. of the Moscow .Goskino--
displayed here or in Europe.
when l saw the first Soviet film
in Moscow had even not seen
Potemkin in America was deeply
impressed by its peculiar inherent
truthfulness to life, by its simply
directness, natural tempo and nor
NAL continuity, factors which are
absolutely lacking in American and
German-French films. The picture
in question was The Car and the
Poet of the time of Nicholas 1 and
Poushkin. 1t was distinctly poetic
film of the most classic order, played
in the actual palaces of the van
ished czars, in Peterhoff. In fact
even the historic costumes of the
actual characters were used by the
film actors, under the direction of
Comrade Gardin. 1t was a magnifi-
cent production, realistically dram
attic and spontaneous.
Like all Americans, I was at
first prejudiced against communis-
tic art and thought everything was
displayed in distinctly propaganda
spirit; but my view soon changed
after l had attended six or eight
new Soviet motion pictures, each of
which was as different from the
others as Italian opera is from the
German. A splendid picture was
The Golden Bottom (Zolotoe Dno)
by the Siberian Goskino, depicting
the village life of the Siberian
farmers. Not less interesting was
The Black Post (Cherny Stolb), by
Chavashkino-the Chuvash Film
Company, in which Tani Iun, a
talented Chuvash actress, played the
leading role.
Gas a historic revolutionary pic
ture, the Moscow Goskino produc-
ton, October showing the down
fall of the old regime and the
triumph of the people and the So
viets in Petrograd, is the most
powerful film l have ever. seen. It
is gripping, not only in its true
realism, but more so thru in it's STIR

pathos. However, this film, like
The Last Days of St. Petersburg
may seem a propaganda picture
from our point of view, and we leave
it to the judgment of the individual
onlookers.
What actually thrilled me most
perhaps because of its more or
less distinctly American style of
staging-was the adventurous 'SVD'
(Soiuze Velikavo Dela-Union of q
Great Venture), depicting the dram
attic lives of the first Dekabrist Re-
bellion in 1925. Here the scenario
writer, the directors and the acting
characters produced a film that was
reminiscent of Dummas, Dostoievsky
and 0. Henry,-a peculiar psyche
logical adventure drama in which
man, destiny and traditions play
their roles in turn.

JANNINGS IN NEW

Right after the initiation period
in Germany, when the mark was a

much detested, figure in Berlin was

puppet, Emil Jannings conceived
the idea of film which he devel-

Of the now-famous screen writer,
Hans Kraly. They hawked the
story up and down Friedrich

Determined to see it through.
Jannings decided to turn producer
himself and engaged Rudolph
Schaenzler (who later was DuPont's
assistant on "Variety') as co-direc-
tor, and the result was Allies fur

SPEED-UP KILLS,
FELLOW WORKER
HELD FOR DEATH
Dragged Down Shaft
to Cellar
(Bu q Worker Correspondentl


Day in, day out, the lives of
building trades workers are being
more and more endangered. The
cause of it is the speed-up system.
The speed-up system is being now
more than ever practised through
out the various trades in construc-
ton work
Recently, at the Lefcourt Build
ing, located on Seventh Ave-, from
25th to 26th Sts., a. laborer was
killed by falling from the fifth floor
to the cellar. His job was to take
the wheel-barrows coming up on
the hoist to the bricklayer. The
hoist stopped suddenly and he ran
to take the wheel-barrow Mean
while, by mistake, a Negro worker
gave the signal. for the hoist to go
down. No sooner was the signal
given, than the hoist dragged the
laborer through the shaft, landing
him in the cellar. He died instant
ly.
The Negro worker is being held
on a charge of manslaughter. The
boss keeps cool, meanwhile his OPP
erations go on just the same.
The speed-up system and longer
hours of work is shortening our
lives in the dyas that we toll. We

CHICAGO YOUTH
TO BUILD NUCLEI
Plans Made at Recent
Conference

CHICAGO. (By Mall. The
Young Workers Communist League
Dist. No. 8 recently held confer
ence here to stimulate the building
of shop nuclei. Twenty-Five del
egates representing the units in
Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Louis,
Weakegan, and the mining dis
tricts met on Sunday, July 22nd, at
the District Headquarters in Chicago
for five hours.
Comrade Platt, the new district
organizer, opened the meeting with
a talk in which he gave some of the
reasons why we have no shop nu-
clui. He pointed out that the league
must get into large factories and
that the shop nuclui was the only
basis for mass organization.
Discussions and reports by the
representative and factory workers
followed the report of comrade
Foesom. These reports were very
interesting. Factory workers from
such plants such as, Western Elec-
trio Co., Sears & Robeck, w. F.
Hall printing, doing league work
under the bosses nose. The organ
izer of st. Louis, and Milwaukee,
the league was prepared to start
factory campaigns in these section.
The Waukegan unit was typical of
a small unit in an industrial center.
The league there was Handicapped by
lack of contact with the factories,
and with a blacklist of it's most
active members. In spite of these
handicaps the league has turned
its attention to the young work
ers in the industry. By the hold
ing of street meetings and general
recruiting work in the industrial
field. On the bases of the reports
from the units in regards to pos
sibilites for factory work and the
forces of the league in these sec
tons program for intense shop
work and recruiting work amongst
young workers will be laid out. The
organization of one shop nuclui was
reported at the conference. The in
suing work of the league in the
factories promises to result in more
shop for district eight.

Harrington Thursday Of last week in
hearing habeas corpus proceedings
brought by Walter NJ. Love, a farmer
near Denton, Md, against Stella
Wright The case is out of the ordi-
nary and more than a dozen witnesses
will be heard on each side before the
case is over. Love seeks to recover
the custody Of two boys known as
Norman and Ernest Hammond. 1t ap-
peared from the testimony that Stella
Wright had two sons and when she
married a man named Hammond, the
husband bound out the boys to Love,
or gave them into his custody. Rec
emily the boys ran away from Love
and went to live with their mother at
Milford. Love then brought habeas
corpus proceedings for the custody of
the children. The evidence offered
was to show whether the mother or
Love is best fitted to take care of the
two boys and each side offered testi-
mony to show that the other party
was not fit to have custody Of them.
