that all five subjects may be pre-
scented with "sound" effects.
Premiere showings of the Schubert
films are given at the Paramount
Theatre here, where "Schubert's
Songs" was shown in April, followed
by "Schubert's Inspiration" in May

WORKERS TO SHOW

UP TO HIS CAME
Too Many Knot-holes in
Labor Plank"
(By Worker Correspondent

by Worker Correspondent
The big white elephant left the
once great "grasshopper state" led
by Herbie Hoover, a product from
Iowa, the great corn state, and the
home of enraged clod hoppers, but
not once did the little Herbie, the
elephant leader, who should have
been the idol of the tillers of the soil
from his old home state, say that his
greasy elephant from Teapot Dome
would pull the McNary-H bill
into Washington for the nubbin husk-
ers of Iowa, and her sister states of
cereal fame.
Little Herbie since leaving Iowa
has grown to be big man. But it
takes big man to hold an elephant
that has eaten from the hands of the
cabinet makers since the world was
made safe for elbow greasers, and
especially before the eyes of the silent
man in the vacant chair.
Little Herbie says he is in accord
with the noiseless man from Capitol
Hill who has made all the people sick
looking at him eating the rinds off
of the MELONS of Pittsburgh. Herbie
likes the political vacuum cleaner and
human vote catching machine, Willie
Ware, the cx-street sweeper who has
evidently forgotten his old fellow
workers in their major wants.
Herbie has his ivory-tusked beast
hitched to big platform and huge
campaign fund, both of which have
been built by hen-house carpenters OF
legal fame from Wall Street and 9TH
er imperialistic points.
One of the planks in Herbie's big
flat-boat is a labor plank. But labor
says this is an old plank, one that was
ripped out of the little green house
in K street, and they don't want it
for it's full Of knot holes, all corked
up with injunctions, persecution and
oppression of the much wanted labor
votes in the coming election who will
give the big, organized labor-hating,
and oil spattered beast and its leader

working men and women of this coun-
try in the early days of Indian sum.

all kl ow that such an organization is
only good for the shipowners, and
cannot ever be of any use to the sea-
men whom it is supposed to represent.
However, the seafarers want new
union that will not be organized on
class collaboration and craft lines,
but one which will be organized for
industrial amalgamation and interna-
tional solidarity for the seafarers of
the world, and this form of organiza-
ton will surely benefit the seamen
who carry the trade of the world on
their backs. IT. S. M.

ORGANIZATION OF
SEAMEN is VITAL
need AT PRESENT
Ship-Owners Plumber
Sailors Wages
(By a Seaman Correspondent

(By a Seaman Correspondent
1t is quite evident that there is a
conspiracy between ship owners and
shipping agents of the U. S. A. Ship
ping Board to liquidate the govern
ment ownership Of ships, in order
that the private ship owners, who are
the worst exploiters of the working
class, may get their bloody hands on
all the fat profits from American ship
ping. The Shipping Board has always
let contracts to agents who own ships
themselves or handle private shipping,
when it could easily have had the
business handled by others. This
proves that the United States Ship
ping Board officials are in the swim
die with the ship owners, regardless
of the fact that the net profits of
private shipping ventures have mount
ed into millions annually. One COM
pany alone has S12000,000 profits
for one year. Another big steal has
been made, the ship subsidy bill has
been passed by congress, on the pre-
text that ship owners cannot compete
with foreign shipping. Millions of
dollars will be wrested from the u.
S. A. treasury for the Golfers of the
ship owners.
The ship owners also resort to rob
bling the poor sailors wages. For
instance if sailor is absent from his
ship for one day while the ship is in
port, two days pay are deducted
from his wages, and, if a seaman
misses his ship or leaves it, he is
classed as a deserter and loses all his
earnings. If he refuses to handle
cargo in foreign port or at home,
in event o. longshoremen's strike or
for similar reasons, he is fined four
days pay for each day he refuses
and, if the sailor refuses any order
while at sea, regardless of whether it
is for the safety Of the ship or not,
he gets placed in the brig without a
bed and fed on bread and water.
His wages as an ablebodied seaman
are fifty-five a month, and the food
is fourth grade. There are about
forty percent more cases of ulcers on
the stomach and body in the U. S.
marine hospital amongst merchant
sailors than at any other hospital in
the country, due to the rotten food
which is dished out to them on the
ships
In the latter part Of the world war
and before 1921 The seamen were Or
ganized $4,000 strong. Then each
ship owner had to have his bill of fare
lasted up in the union hall for the
pleasure of the sailor. Then, in 1921,
when thousands of ships were laid up,
the seame1 were misled into a strike
which their bureaucratic officials
knew perfectly well they could not
win. From that time on the interna-
tiona. seamer's union degenerated,
until now, with a membership of
eight thousand, it is nothing better
than a company union. With the A.
F. of L. reactionary tactics of class
collaboration and craft unionism, re-
CARELESS of the fact that about ninety
six percent of the seamen are unor-
gained, ard crying for organization,
the bureaucratic officials do not or
ganize them.
The officials only organize enough
to defray the expenses for the hall
and their official salaries and they
are intrenched in the union and can
not be driven out. If member shows

COAL OPERATORS
IMPORTING SCABS
by a Worker Correspondent

BLAINE, Ohio, July 3.-The Lor-
ain Coal and Dock Company of Cleve-
land has a mine at this place, and
last week began to clean up with the
intention, it was reported, of starting
operations this week.
The miners began to picket the
mine, but the deputies did not like it.
They arrested Bob Sivert one day be-
cause he merely appeared in Blaine;
the next day they assured the pickets
that if they would go home they
would see to it that no scabs would
go to work in the mine.

William Haines is having a short
vacation prior to starting work on his
new starring picture, "Alias Jimmy
Valentine" The star has just COM
pleted Excess Baggage" which
James Cruze directed at the Metro
Studios.
After an absence of two and half
years, Theodore Roberts will return
to the screen in the new Metro fea-
ture, "The Mask of the Devil" John
Gilbert, whose current vehicle, "The
Cossacks," is now showing at the
Capitol Theatre, will be starred and
Victor Seastrom will direct.

Enlarge Function.

Deputy sheriffs are supposed to be
county employees stationed at particu-
lar places to preserve order. 1t is
true that when strikes are in pro-
gress, their function is broadened and
they are put in charge of the mines
to protect the interests of the coal
operators.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1928-07-04
Scabs Sent In.

That scabs are coming in-and
probably are being sent in-is proven
by the fact that one was wounded
IN a seuffle few days ago, two were
arrested for having guns in their pos
session, and today three cars arrived
and there was plenty of guns and
ammunition in their possession.
Which proves that Mr.. Wildermuth,
president of the coal company, is a
plain liar when he says that he does
not yet intend to resume operations,
and that when he does the old men
will be given the jobs first.
