What Is a Working
Day to a Capitalist?
WHAT is a working day? What is

WHAT is a working day? What is
" the length Of time during which
capital may consume the labor power
whose daily value it buys? How far
may the working-day be extended be-
yond the working time necessary for
the reproduction of labor-power it
self? 1t has been seen that to these
questions capital replies: the working
day contains the full twenty-four
hours, with the deduction of the few
hours of repose without which labor
power absolutely refuses its services
again. Hence it is self-evident that
the laborer is nothing else, his whole
life through, than labor-power; that
therefore all his disposable time is
by nature and law labor-time, to be
devoted to the self-expansion Of cap
ital.
Time for education, for intellectual
development, for the fulfilling OF So
cial functions and for social inter-
course, for the free-play of his bodily
mental activity, even the rest time
of Sunday (and that in country of
Saba arians! Lincolnshire! But in
its blind, understandable passion, its
werewolf hunger for surplus-labor,
capital oversteps not only the moral,
but even the merely physical max
imum bounds Of the working day. 1t
usurps the time for growth, develop
ment, and healthy maintenance of the
body. 1t steals the time required for
the consumption of fresh air and sun
light. 1t higgles over meal-time,
Incorporating it where possible with
the process of production itself, SO
that food is given to the laborer as
to mere means of production, as coal
is supplied to the boiler, grease and
oil to the machinery. 1t reduces the
sound sleep needed for the restora-
ton, reparation, refreshment Of the
bodily powers, to just so many hours
of torpor as the revival of an organ
ism, absolutely exhausted, renders
essential.

ART YOUNG'S DRAWINGS
''IYees" With a Political Kick IN Them

is splendid addition to ones library
tho you will be tempted to tear out
some of the pages for framing. 1t
is unfortunate that a collection of
the drawings of our own Art Young
must be in so expensive an edition,
for each of these drawings are well
worth having. All of them are made
by an artist who sees in trees "some-
thing kin to the human family, with
its roots in the earth and it's arms
stretching toward the sky. -"

Reviewed by WALT CARMON.

long before Ellis, Chopper, Becker,
- Minor and others of the great
artists in the American revolutionary
movement, unequalled in any coun-
try in the world, Art Young's satir-
ical, droll humor and delightful
drawings were bright spot in the
radical and revolutionary press. In
the old Masses, LiberGtor, Weekly
Worker, Daily Worker, Neq0 Masses
and in hundreds of publications, his
unique slant on the life we live has
been wildly displayed. Many of US
still chuckle remembering his gay,
little short-lived publication Good
Morning and it's glorious campaign
with the slogan for Harding And
He'll" Some of his unusual draw
ings are included in the Red Car
too4as collections of 1926 and 1927.
It is a pity there has been no sepa-
rate collection of Art Young-of the
marvellous work of a good many
years, given unstintingly and gener-
ously to working class publications
when capitalist publishers were wav-

Art Young is no longer in the GEN.

revolutionary press. Trees At

cartoons. 1t is simply series of
drawings of trees-but what draw

Art Young at his best. Not the best

There is an uncanny appeal in all
the drawings in this book. From the
above mentioned, he turns to others,
playful, fantastic and humorous. His
trees at night are camels humping

ers, elephants, monkeys, youth and
old age.
Art Young is no modern. His

in his merry eyes: ellis and are

THE author of this volume is an Eng

lead them to bloodshed and murder.

Commune of Paris were caused by
such secret bands, subsidized with for
