REFUSE To CALL
OUT UASkLLED
KENOsHAEABOR
Attack Communists for
Militant Leadership
fBu a Worker Correspondentl

by a Worker Correspondent
KENOSHA. Wis. (By Mail) -
The Committee of, 000," composed
of unionists, unorganized workers
and local lawyers and politicians,
that is securing signatures on a
petition to abolish the reactionary
open-shop city manager form of
government of Kenosha and replace
it by an aldermanic form of govern
ment, held meeting on July "a at
the German-American Home.
The principal speakers were law
yers who for the most part based
their arguments on petty issues
against the city manager system,
neglecting or Guessing over funda-
mental issues that would be of in
terest to workers. For example,
one of the speakers recalled that
several years ago, when Kenosha
had an aldermanic form of govern
ment, Citizen could get in touch
with his alderman across the street,
whereas now no one knows how far
away member of the council may
live" etc.
A socialist" speaker also har-
rangued the workers by praising
Don Hoan, Socialist" mayor of Mil
waukee, and La Toilette.
After speaking was over the
chairman asked for speakers from
the audience. Samuel A. Herman,
member of the Young Workers
(Communistl League, took the floor
and pointed out the position of the
league. He condemned the city
manager form of government as a
plant tool Of the open-shoppers,
citing numerous examples where
workers were arrested for peace
fully picketing, street meetings of
workers broken up and complete
failure Of the city administration to
Gust company gunner from the
Allen-A mill out of the city.
Herman urged the idea of united
front of all local labor organiza-
tons for the purpose of choosing
representatives of workers organ
izations only, to run on election pro-
grams based upon the needs of the
workers.
This speech created havoc among
those present. No sooner was he
through speaking than Louis F.
Budenz, editor of Labor Age" and
leader Of the Allen-A strikers, rose
and hurled a TRADE against the
Communists in general and the
speaker in particular. This 'Iiberal'
misleader of labor, who helped the
Allen-A company in its over five
month attempt to smash the strike
by not permitting the strikers to
picket except on occasional noon
hours two or three times a week,
who has viciously refused to listen
to suggestions that the hundreds of
unskilled. unorganized Allen-A
workers should be called out to aid
IIt lOCheu-Uul kHlICeTS anu COppe1S,
with the result that the firm has
over 220 scabs in its employ and is
holding out firmly against the
union. This labor faker denounced
tho Communists, whom, he stated,
criticized him severely. Ever the
hraggart, he strutted forth as the
'hero" of Kenosha, battling for
progress, humanity, etc.
He concluded by asking the chair
man to adjourn the meeting imme-
diately, 50 in fear was he that work
ers might take the floor to criticize
his unwarranted attack on the league
and the party.
After the meeting was over sew
cral speakers came over to Herman
in complete bewilderment as to
Budenz's motive in attacking" the
Communists for no reason at all.

who work in the stock rooms of Mar

quired to wear roller skates. The
bosses want to roll little more

exploited young workers. There's

workers. Some of the employers
go so far as to say the boys ought

their work is analysed, it turns out
TO be nothing but recreation.

'Golmg Home", Negro Play
on Brock PembeytOnS List

nounced for early production by
Brock Pemberton. In past seasons
this producer has shown marked
tendency to be quite active, and
stage plays which most producers
usually shun. One of his early pro-
ductions-some seasons back-was
Pirandello's "Six Characters in
Search of An Author" Last sea-
son Penberton staged one or two
new plays, but made little effort to
bring worthwhile plays to Broad
way.
Of the new plays scheduled for
next season, Going Home" by Ran
som Rideout, will be his first offer
ing and will have it's initial showing
in Freeport Monday, August 10.
coming to Broadway week later.
"Going Home" is a story of Negro
troops in France. James B. Lowe,
who played Uncle Tom in the Uni
versal picture, has an important
role in the piece.
The other plays include "Hot
Bed" drama with college back
ground, by Paul Osborn, and
"Colonels' Ladies'" by Fannie Heas-
lip Lea, play dealing with mar
riage and divorce.
Jed Harris started rehearsals of
"The Front Page" the play by Ben
Hecht and Charles Macarthur, which
opens at the Times Square Theater
on August IA. The production will
play a week out of town starting
August at the Broadway Theatre,
Long Branch. Lee Tracy has one
wage for the Negroes and Mexican
workers, % and 80 cents an hour.
Unemployment is very widespread.
The local papers true to form and
tradition when reporting the fact
that lnSny local industrial establish
ments are adding new plants and
also the coming of new industry into
the city are trying to create an il
fusion in the minds of the workers
that this will relieve unemployment
Expansion" of the local industry
goes on with such a speed that the
new industries coming into the city
cannot absorb all the workers that
are thrown out as result of this
Expansion" In addition to laying
eff the men and the installation of
speed-up systems the workers get
ever fresh wage cuts.
Such conditions could only have
been developed because of absence
of strong labor movement. The
existing A. F. of L. local unions, due
to reactionary leaders, pursue do
nothing policy in regards to organ
izing the unorganized workers.
Since the losing of the packing house
strike no serious attempt to organize
the workers has been made. Now,
however, a new force is entering
into the local situation. The
strengthening of the Communist
Party organization has already been
evidenced by its participation in the
presidential election campaign. The
Workers (Communist) Party has
also made the first step in the direc-
tien of organizing the packing house
workers by issuing a packing house
shop paper. The near future will
witness an awakening of the work
ers to the necessity of organiza-
tion and struggle to improve their
conditions.

MARYE and 'MOM'
q q .
THEIR LETTERS

Dearest Nom:
You might just as we'll not try
to understand us-the modern gen.
Grafton. I mean, because you can't
do it. All your natural sympathy
is for those who are unlike us.
Take Florence and Betty for in
stance. You're entirely on Betty's
side. You think she's wonderful
because she is willing to make the
same sacrifice for a while that
everybody expects Florence to make
as a matter of course.
If you really had any use for
fappers you would accept us at
our own valuation of ourselves. We
think we're crusaders, and I ask
you, Nom, do you think the older
women would be as free as they are
if the kids. hadn't led them? Who
threw away the corsets, the long
skirts and got rid of long hair?
Yes, I know that girdles are
worn and hair is growing again,
but never while there is a free soul
to ring the tocsin will uncomfort-
able clothes and horse tails be with
out their foe. Yet, all we get is
abuse.
I know a lot of girls who are let
ting their hair grow but not one Of
them is willing to go back to hair
so long that they can sit on it.
When nearly everyone is past the
agony of getting the neck hair to
stay with the rest, the leaders of
fashion will start bobbing again.
The way a woman dresses always
will be mostly matter of prevail
ing style, but, thank goodness, no
one who has broken away from the
rule-of-thumb slavery ever will let
silly conventions" grow again.
But even our new freedom entails
obligations. We admit that One
Of the first, and really the most i'm
portant, is to know life. We must
learn how to live. So long as we
are on earth we are living. Why
not know what it's all about?
Naturally Florence doesn't know
just how she can use the expert
ences and education she has gained
here in the city but we both think
they will prove of value to her at
some time or other. You really
can't know too much.
Deepest love,
MARYE.

Voters League
Platform Ready
for Both Parties

Planks which the National League
of Women Voters will ask both po-
litical parties to incorporate in the
1928 campaign platforms, to be
adopted at Kansas City and Hous-
ton, were made public today.
Special committees, composed Of
League members affiliated with the
two parties, will attend both con-
ventions in an effort to secure in
clusion of the Leagues suggested
planks in the 1928 campaign pledges.
Official League headquarters will be
established in both cities.
The planks to be presented to the
resolution committees are:
WORLD COOPERATION
We indorse the effort to secure by one
uniform agreement with many nations the
remuneration Of war as between themselves,
and We support the substitution Of arbi-
tration for war as on instrument OF public
policy ! nthe settlement of internationl
differences. We further reiterate our sup
port Of the entry Of the United States into
Justice. -
Believing that government should be
responsive to the will Of the electorate
and that elected representatives should
therefore take olsce soon after election,
we advocate an amendment to the Federal
constitution which would do away with
the long interval now prevailing between
the election Of the members Of the Con-
greSs and the beginning of their terms, al
the same time eliminating the short ses-
sion OF the Congress with its admitted
legislative embarrassments and the posi-
bility of the enactment of laws by repre-
sentatives whose policies have been re-
pudiated by their constituents.
PUBLIC WELFARE
Recognizing that this government IS a
human agency responsible for the welfare
Of its citizens. we urge the further de-
velopment of the policies inaugurated by
the Congress for child protection and for
the prevention Of needless maternal and
infant Deaths; and We urge increasingly
generous provision by government for edu-
cation and for the protection OF children
against premature and injurious labor.
LIVING COSTS
Believing that the public investment in
the great natural resources at Muscle
Shoals should be conserved and developed
in the interest Of the general welfare. we
Muscle Shoals at a national asset and its
operation by the government.
STATUS OF WOMEN
We urge the removal of legal discrim-
nations against women by specific meas
ures not reiudicial to women's labor laws
or to social welfare legislation. and
drawn in each case with full consideration
of actual economic and social conditions.
instead of attempting to deal with the
subject by blanket legislation.
