SOLDIERS WON TO
WORKERS CAUSE
BY YOUTH LEAGUE
Chicago Communists to
Fight Army Slavery

CHICAGO, July 1.-The Young
Workers (Communist) League here
has smashed the myth that soldiers
Sre enemies of the workers.
The League is conducting an in
tensive campaign among the soldiers
near Chicago, especially at Fort Sher-
idan, and the enlisted men are well
coming the campaign to unite soldier
workers with civilian workers in their
common struggle. Many express re-
greet that they did not come in con-
tact with the Communist organization
before. Though they realized that
they we're tools of someone and that
they had no say in the matter, many
did not know that the real purpose
of the military authorities is to use
them against theif own class, and
that the war against Nicaragua is
to protect investments of Wall Street.
Members of the youth league find
that the soldiers are denied many
rights, that they are liable to arrest
outside of the military reservation at
sight if they do not have permit,
that they cannot vote and are not per-
n1itted to belong to labor organiza-
tions.
An intensive campaign is to be
made by the Young Workers (Com-
League of Chicago for the
rights of the soldiers of Fort Sheri-
dan and other posts, and also will
demand increased food rations and
ray, abolition of K. P. and fatigue"
A fight will be made against the
abuses of military law under which
laany innocent soldiers are framed
ard given long sentences by courts
martial.

We waited for patrol wagon, but
evidently the officer was too much in
a hurry, for he hired a taxi to take US
to the police station.
There the matron searched us, as if
we were desperate criminals, and then
locked US in a cell for about twenty
minutes.
When we were released we were
herded into a patrol wagon, with
drunkards and other human derelicts.
1t seems that the expense was too
great for them to take us in sepa-

with bent heads, since the wagon has
a low ceiling, and the place was
crowded.
Not any too soon we stopped at JEFF

Up From Grand Street

In spite of its foreign implications,
the intimate revue" such as is ex-
emplified in the current Grand
Street Follies" at the Booth has be-
come native institution.
For it was the Grand Street Fol-
lies" which, away back in 1922, set
a new style in satiric musical enter
tainment, the style of irresponsible,
guU, natured spoofing so artfully de-
veloped in the cabarets of Paris and
Berlin and Vienna, and which the
Russians brought to happy cul-
mination in their Cnauve Souris.
AS a matter of fact the "Grand
Street Follies" had their beginnings
in a manner very similar to that Of
the Chauve Souris. Both entertain
ments grew out of informal parties
within their respective organizations.
1t had been the custom of the old
Neighborhood Playhouse organiza-
ton to celebrate at the end of each
season with a burlesque re-hash of
their own productions. These cele-
brations were originally intended only
for the edification of the theatres
subscribers, but in 1922 the word got
out among the general public that
the "Grand Street Follies" was some
thing which no wise theatregoer
could afford to miss. The result was
that the little theatre on Grand
Street was literally stormed. Almost
overnight the "Follies became an es-
tablished institution, and a new
vogue in American theatrical enter
tainment was ushered in.
In subsequent years there havs
been many types of intimate revues,
among them the successful "Garrick
Gaieties." With the exception of the
"Grand Street Follies" all of them
have dropped from sight. The Fol-
lies increased steadily in porslaritJ,
and after running for four consecu-
tive seasons on Grand Street, the
show has now become unique part
of the summer fare along Broadway

Army Major Retreats

Major Andrews of the U. S. Army
expressed a desire to find those who
had decorated recruiting posters with
stickers calling attention to the pur-
poses Of the Citizens Military Train
ing Camps and the preparations for
new imperialist wars.
Following the majors announce
ments in the press, the League sent
a letter challenging Major Andrews
to public debate on the matter. The
army officer made hasty retreat
and refused to expose himself before
an audience.
Now, the league has issued a leaf
let pointing out that the military au-
thorities, are afraid to face the Facts.
