BOOK REV lew

There has just been issued
from the press of Globe Book
Company New York; a vol
ume entitled, Great Moments
of Great Stories" edited by
Thomas l.. Doyle, a copy of
which the publishers have
graciously sent to my desk.
The work contains 284 pages,
and is substantially bound in
terra Gotta colored cloth that
ENDS charm to the exterior of
a book.
The first story Incorporated
in the volume is "The Legend
of Sleepy Hollow" by that
pleasant writer, Washington
irving, which we have all read
in our youthful days, and still
relish as time turns our scat
tered locks to snow-white.
There are sixteen stories in
the volume, and all of them
cause a thrill as the salient
points are reached by the
eager reader, and he realizes
the great moments.

THIRTY YEARS OF THE
ART THEATRE

gull became an emblem of the
theatre.
In the process of its work and
gradual development the Moscow
Art Theatre very often took it's
plays from the classic works of
Pushkin, Tolstoy, Shakespeare, Mo-
liere and Dostoievsky.
The chief nucleus of the Moscow
Art Theatres company including
Stanislavsky and Nemirovitch-Dan-
chenko still remains, consisting of
Madam Knipper-Tchekhov (widow
of deceased writer), Raievsky, Wish
nevsky, Moskvin, Kachalov and
others.
Twice since the moment of its
foundation the Moscow Art Theatre
was abroad: in 1905-1906 in Ger
many and in 1922-1924 touring
through Europe and America.
During thirty years of its exist
ence the theatre has staged alto
gether seventy-five different plays.
Beginning from 1924 up to the pre-
sent time eleven new plays were
performed, including Warm Heart"
by Ostrovsky, "Nicolas the First
and Decembrists," Days of the
Family Turbin" by Bulgakov, eli
caro-" Armored Train," by Vsevo-
lod Ivanov and others.

Forced to Expel Havelock.


The congress then started its Of

Union was solemnly expelled from

long time to do thisl The Minority
Movement were the first to demand
it, but were scoffed at by the very
men who have since been compelled
by their acti ms tc admit that we
were right.

Arising from. the expulsion of the
Seamen's Union, the general council
demanded increased disciplinary
powers to deal with unions in the fu-
ture which the present standing or

ceived by this demand, these powers
are required by the general council
more for application to militant
unions like the Furnishing Trades.
than for the reformist unions, and
the workers will have proof of this
within the next twelve months.
The trades councils through a re-
solution on the agenda in the name
of the Railway Clerks Association,
demanded affiliation to congress.
The only support for this important
resolution came from the left wing,
but it was turned down by an over
whelming vote. 1t is important to
note this decision in the light of
what took place afterwards.
The general council asked congress
to endorse their decision that no
member of the Minority Movement
is eligible to attend any conference
organized by the trades councils
The congress gave it's endorsement.
So we are faced with the interesting
position of democratic" congress
which refuses affiliation to the
trades councils, which have to do
all the detailed work Of the general
council in the localities, but dictates

This action on the part of the So

only prolong the lockout for weeks,
it is pointed out. Should the federal

would have to be begun all over
again, with the employers practically
debating the terms.
Due to the tactics of the social
democrats, a wave of unrest is
spreading among the workers ranks.
The appeal of the Communist lead

MOSCOW, Nov. 12.-In connec-

the USSR in 1928.
All together there was exported

timber materials amounting to 100
million roubles as against 80 million
roubles in 1927.
In 1928 about 100000 standards of
timber will be exported to England
as against $4,000 standards in 1927.
About $4,000 standards will be ex-
ported to Germany as against al, 900
last year and about 10000 standards
to Holland as against 10000 stand

(FrOm Labor Unity.)

General Secretary National Minor
ity Movement, British Section of the
Red International of Labor Uni0ns.)
THE Goth congress of the British
4 Trades Union Movement opened
at Swansea on September 3rd, 1928.
There were present 621 delegates,
representing 3,874,842 workers, de-
crease of 25 delegates, and z89,152
workers who attended the Edin-
burgh congress. This reduction is
largely accounted for by the opera
ton of the Trades Union Act, which
makes it illegal for the unions ca
tering for state employees to be af-
filiated to the T. U. G.
Ben Turner opened with the worst
presidential speech that has been
made at Congress. 1T was largely
reminiscent and completely regard
less of the change in the economic
situation that has taken place since
the war. Not a word did it contain
about the intensification of the capi-
talist offensive, the rapidly increas-
ing unemployed army, the new at
tacks being prepared against all sec
tions of transport and building work.
ers, nothing but an expression of the
pious hopes and sentimental moraliz-
ing that are a standing disgrace to
the leadership of the Trades Union
Congress.
If ever there was a time when the
Trades Union Congress through its
chairman should have issued clar-
ion call it is nova call for united
resistance against further attacks, a
call for the defense of the unem-
ployed, call for the reorganization
of the trade unions on the fighting
basis demanded by modern condi-
tions, a call for workshop organiza-
ton, for the trade union recruitment
to build up powerful unions to fight
capitalism, for effective international
unity, message of hope and inspira-
lion to the toiling masses at home
and abroad, exploited and held down
by the armed forces of British i'm
perialism.
The Trade Union Movement can
not afford to tolerate this happy-go-
lucky leadership; it must be repudi-
ated, and the new leadership Gre
ated. Since 1921 the workers have
lost 100000 in wage reductions,
thousands of the best lads in the
movement are victimized, are hungry
and worried out of their lives.

NIT a report with recommendation
to the affiliated organizations"
The speakers in support of this
resolution were careful to point out
that it was not advisable to have
discussions in Congress upon what
methods should be used to attack
the disruptive elements, but that the
general council should give a lead
to each of its affiliated unions, SO
that they can carry out the recon-
mendations made.
To Crush Opposition.
This simply means that next year
III sll probability no delegate who is
a member either of the Communist
Party or the National Minority
Movement will be allowed to attend
the T. U. C. The secretary of the
7. U. u, Mr.. Citrine, in a state
ment to the press at the close of
the congress quite plainly indicated
the rigour with which this resolution
will be applied.
But it is intended to do more than
attack the organized revolutionarics
it will be used against general coun-
Gil leaders like A. j. Cook, who on
the basis of this resolution will be
suspended from the general council
if they make any public comment
on any action of the council, once
it has decided upon a policy.
