the "Sozialjstitcheski Vestnik' want
to know why l speak now differ

In 1917 l was mistaken, being sim
ccrely afraid that proletarian die

sal and downfall of the politically
educated working class B.tsheviks,
the only truly revolutionary force,
and that their downfall would for a
long time obscure the very idea of

that | was not the only one to be
mistaken at that, that many Boil
sheviks were in the same boat as /.
At the same time an enormous num-
Der of intellectuals realized that
they had also been mistaken when
they looked upon themselves as a
revolutionary force. Ten years have
passed since then and during this
Period wonderful work has been
done in Russia, in all the spheres of
labor and creativeness, although

Haessler and Whitaker
Score Frame-up

Carl Haessler, managing editor
OF the Federated Press, labor press
service. in statement to the Ma
tional Office of International Labor
Defense on the Tom Mooney and
Warren Billings frame-up declares:
why doesn't candidate Herbert
Hoover break his silence on the Tom
Mooney frame-up? Why doesn't u.
S. Senator Hiram johnson stop
gumshoeing and come out in the
open in Moneys fight for full JUS
tice?
Because both Hoover and John
son are afraid of the power that
wanted to hang Mooney and has
succeeded in keeping him in Jail IL
years, the California money power"
Robert Whitaker, writer on the
Pacific coast, writing to Martin
Abern, assistant national secretary
of the l. L. D., states:
There ought to be, of course, an
immediate and unconditional re-
lease of Tom Mooney and Warren
K. Billings from their long and UNI
just Imprisonment in the peniten-
tiaries of California. 1t is known
to everyone who is not impervious
to the truth, and has made any
reasonable effort to get at the facts
that these men are wholly innocent
of the crime which was used to put
them behind the bars, and that they
are kept there not because of guilt
upon their part, but because of their
activities as labor agitators."
The National Office, stated Abern
is intensifying its campaign on be.
half of Mooney and Billings. 1t is
necessary to develop a greater mass
pressure upon the authorities. A
rotogravure pamphlet, profusely il
lustrated, is to be issued in the Aext
couple of weeks by the Nationa
Office, and it is hoped to give the
widest distribution to the Mooney
] Billings case in this manner.

Maxwell Anderson Play on
SQCcO- Vanzetti Case COMING

A new play by Maxwell Anderson
"A based on the Sacco-Vanzetti
case is now on its way for early
production here. The play was
originally called Goods of the
Night" but it will be known here
as Goods of the Lightning"
Mr., Anderson will have his play
produced on Broadway by Hamil-
ton MacFadden, who has two more
plays from the same source, Hell
on Wheels" and "The Sea Wife. )"
Mr.. MacFadden is a member of the
younger generation of theatrical
producers, having first tried his
luck on Broadway only last season,
and this season it looks as if he
would have a Maxwell Anderson
cycle of plays to offer.
Goods of the Lightning" goes into
production Immediately and will be
the first of the three to appear.
Outside of the leading role, labor
organizer, which will be played by
Charles A. Bickford, the casting has
not yet been settled. Bickford was
seen here last season in "Bless You,
Sister,"
In writing Goods of the Light
ming" Mr., Anderson has had a col
laborator, Harold Hickerson. 1t may
be remembered that Mr.. Anderson
elaborated with Laurence Stall
ngs in writing that famous war
play, What Price Glory?" From
advance accounts of Goods of the
Lightning" it looks as if this play
would stir up as much excitement
and comment as did What Price
Glory?" Anderson is also respon-
sible for saturdays Children
one of the hits of last season.

NEW BEDFORD: SLAVE
DRIVERS PARADISE

strike vote had unfortunately been
just IL votes "shy" of the requisite
two-thirds. New Bedford strike
voting in the past had for some rea-
son suffered from similar "shy-
ness"
But imagine the CONSERVATION of
Mr.. Batty and Mr.. Binns when the
workers insisted on taking a vote
at an inappropriate time and it
turned out overwhelmingly in favor
of strike. Imagine how Mr.. Batty
must have felt when Mr.. Fleecem,
the Big Mill Owner, stared at him
coldly from his Rolls Royce as it
passed him on the street. And i'm
agine the feelings of Mr.. Binns, a
Justice of the Peace too.
And so the strike was called on
April 16.
And it came to pass, after many
weeks, that Matthew Woll, vice
president of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, acting president of
the openshop National Civic Fede-
ration and labor faker extra
ordinary, arose at the convention of
the United Textile Workers of
America in New York City, and de-
livered one of his flaming, patented
denunciations of the Communists
for the part they were playing in
the New Bedford textile strike.

Matthew was right. 1t was the
Communists and the Textile Mill
Committees that had forced the call
ing of the strike. 1t was they who
had rallied the nearly 10000 work
ers, given them fighting slogans and
demands that were not merely a
servile begging for crumbs. We
want not only the revoking of the
ten per cent wage-cut, but 20 per
cent increase, a 40-hour, five-day
week and the abolition of the speed
up! This. is what the strikers saw,
and they are saying it thru their
new union, a real fighting union.
