finally wants to fly like bird. He
patterns wings to fly with and sue
ceeds in flying before the Gar, who
orders him beheaded as something
contrary to the laws of God. The
dark period of sixteenth century
Russia swallows up the tragic efforts
of progress. The Church is presented
as a handmaiden of brutal ruling
class and partner in all the brutality.
The Soviet film makers are unsparing
in their realistic, honest picture of the
role of the church in this period of
Russian history.
the Serf' is the subtitle. Nikita,
Technically it is not like 'Potem-
kin" There is no modernized ex-
IRENE of presentation. No absolute
simplicity focusing attention to one
point. 1t is rather old-fashioned, but
in this method it helps also to take
us back a few centuries into dark
Russia. The photography is able and
the scenes of the bleakness of vast
Russian spaces and quaintness of
small Russian village life is enough to
make any Russian homesick.
Ivan the Terrible" adds another
outstanding production to the credit
of Soviet movie technique. w. c.

Soviet Film at Cameo

THROW out your chests in justified
4 pride, my comrades. Another
splendid movie achievement goes to
the credit of cur comrades in the
first workers government. Ivan The
Terrible" comes to US with magma
ton, artistic honesty, glimpse OF real
beauty and above everything, with
acting rarely seen in the movies.
European critics have been loudly
singing the praises of this picture for
months. At the Cameo Theatre a
crowd that was packed to the doors
voiced its approval in generous, I'M
stinted applause when the picture
ended.
Ivan The Terrible" is different.
Different from the pictures we've
seen and different also from marvel
lous 'Potemkin." The greatness of
"Potemkin" was it's beautiful SIM
plicity. In contrast, Ivan The Ter
'rible" is complicated in plot and in
volved in presentation. 1t is not as
great as "Potemkin." Yet neither
does it suffer in comparison. All
complications of plot and picture
combine to give US the muddle of in
trigue and brutality of the times of
Car Ivan Of Russia in the last half of
the sixteenth century.
The growth of the power of Russia,
the development of trade, the estab-
lishment of new landlord class, all
this is pictured wildly and clearly
and at the expense of the brutal OPP
preston of serfs whose lives are not
only exploited, but also taken at the
whim of the ruling class. The lords
steal the serfs from each other. Like
in the days of American slavery
families are broken up, women vio-
lated at will, men whipped, tortured
beheaded and run thru with a pike
The horror of all this monstrous
cruelty is never played up.
1t is presented calmly, without EN-.
phasis and only as part of actual past
life and historical accuracy. This fea.
ture Of "Ivan The Terrible" is to the
credit of the mastery cold-bloodet
direction of Juri Tarich. The rest Of
the picture is in the same, almost dis
passionate calm tone allowing the
horror of the picture to speak for it
self.
The story is too complicated fol-
complete retelling. "The Wings o.
splendidly acted by 1. Kluvkin, is al

other serf, Fima, who is violated by

TiMbIate Worker
Makes Weapon OF
Correspondence

In the Worker Correspondence
today appears letter from tin
plate worker describing conditions
in the tin works and calling upon
all his fellow workers to organize
AS the first step in organization
he urges all tin workers to ex-
change their opinions thru the
Worker Correspondence page OF
The DAILY WORKER. At the
same time he calls upon the pro-
gressi.e workers in the tin-platC
industry to get in touch with one
another thru the Worker Core
spondence editor. This will be done
by sending letters thru Worker
Correspondence to other progress
siye tin workers who letters APP
pear in The Daily From there
they will be forwarded to the
workers for whom they are in
terded ard thus communication
will be established without any
one being endangered.
As. soon as it is advisable these
nc0nvenient safeguards can be
ione away with. But in the mean
Tine they protect all workers wish
ing to get in touch with other like
minded workers. For this reason
t is necessary that all workers
send their name and address to-
-ether with their correspondence.
Every possible precaution is taken

this appeal has learned the pur-
pose of the Worker Correspond

(By q Worker Correspondent
; Tinhouse men are the most exploit
ed skilled and semi-skilled workers in
any trade. Conditions have been get
ting worse ever since tin-plate MAX
! ing started in this country. At that
! time there was timer and catcher
for every timing machine (patent
pot). The branners and polishing ma
chimes were worked independent of
the timing machine and pot. The
polisher was worked Independent Of
the branner and was Of no hindrance
to the timer i'm going ahead with his
work.
The first move was to combine the
4. branner with the polishing machine
It was then our trouble began. The
plates would not 60 on right from the
branner to the polisher. They would
slip, lie any old way and slide around
while the tables piled up. At other
times, they would pile up and then
enter the polisher This would cause
all kinds Of damage to the plates and
cause returns.
A little later duplex and double du-
pick timing. machines were installed.
with AZ and 90-inch rolls in the tin
ming machines. This added immense
~ to our difficulty and made our task
terrific. Besides there was a machine
catcher instead of a boy, to do the
work, and with all the added con-
fusion, the timer had to work all the
combinations alone. Even the latest
so-called Norton cleaner gives us
good share of trouble, besides damag-
ing the plates. Bad plates, which are
called members, have to be turned
back to the timers, which is ridicu-
lous when we are working patented
machines.
The hot-mill men are not blamed
for MASTERS" when they have to put
dirty tin bars thru the mill without
knowing whether or not there is for
eign substance in them. Other depart
ments are making MASTERS which they
can't be blamed for because of the
speed at which they are working does
not give them time to see what they
are doing correctly.
The Sheet-Mill Mems Union, the
old Amalgamated Association, at the
beginning made it safe for the tin
hot-mills While from the very be-
ginning the patent-pot men had to
take the wages and conditions given
them and purely because they had no
union to back them. They have al
ways suffered from this. The union
that the tin-house had at one time
was farce and isn't worth mention
j ing.
Now let US look at Saturdays work
called dressing. You take apart the
slides, then lift the catching machine
and raise the timing machine from
the metal and oil pot and set it or
take it down to be replaced by new
one. Then you pull the fuse box.
] Then you slobber in the greasy flusey
muck up to your knees and elbows.
It is the hardest, sinking job a man
could ever think of, sweating and
putting for breath in the foul smoke
arising from the flusey filth all

PRocLAMTloM OF BIRD DAY

Governor Geo. w. r. Hunt
has issued the following procla-.
nation of Bird Day: 4
Whereas, The relation and i'm
portance of bird life to the com.
mon welfare. and especially to
the agricultural interests is a
subject deserving more general
recognition; and - 's'.
Whereas, Statistics show that
the loss to agriculture by insect
pests amounts yearly to more
than $1,000, ,000, 900 and that one
tenth of everything raised for
food is destroyed by insect pests;
and a:sl T., 81
. Whereas, The human race is
fighting the insect world for con.
troll of the earth; and
Whereas. We know that birds
are the natural enemies of all
forms of insect life, and if we
could increase the number Of
birds, we would have less trou
BILE with these insect pests; and
Whereas, The decrease in bird
life of our state and of the nation
is one of the causes for the in.
crease Of the numerous pests
which are costing the farmers of
this country millions of dollars
annually; and
Whereas, The preservation of
bird life must come in a large
measure through instilling in the
minds of the school children of
the state a love of nature and a
knowledge Of her benefactions.
Now. Therefore, To the end
that the public schools and all
societies, as we'll as individuals,
may cooperate in the work of
saving the birds of the state,
and to bring the subject of bird
conservation before the people,
I, Geo. w. P. Hunt, Governor
of the State of Arizona, do7here
by designate and appoint Fri.
day, April 13, 1928, as BIRD
DAY, and hereby request that
all teachers of the public schools
and the people generally shall
observe the same with appro
pirate exercises. that the value
of birds may be better recog.
nized and bird life studied.
