Special Performance Tonight of "Hoboken
Blues" for Daily Worker readers

Many readers and friends of The
DAILY WORKER will gather tonight
at the New Playwrights' Theatre at
the special benefit performance of
"Hoboken Blues" the new play by
Michael Gold, which is now current
at their playhouse at 40 Commerce
St.
The play deals with the colony of
Negroes in their Harlem community
and shows the social and economic
background of the Negro in the past
twenty-five years.
James P. Cannon in special ar
ticle on ''Hoboken Blues" in The
DAILY WORKER has this to say
about the author and the play:
"The main impression left with me
is that here is emerging playwright
with a richer humor an dsharper wit
than the Broadway wise-crackers and
without their rotten and standardized
cynicism He wants to see people
happy, living in "Hoboken," where
folks don't work too hard, where
there's plenty of food and beer and
music, where both white and black
are free and equal and all men are
brothers.
"That's what he wants to see And
if it appears in his own play only as
a fantasy it is because the vehicle of
Chile McGregor's horse-car philoso-
ply is at best only dream-eseape
from the stern realities of the exist
ing capitalist order
Underneath it's laughing humor the
play RACES at the excresences of the
machine age; the noise and stink of
the leather factory the speed-up, the
dollar fever, the persecution and ex-
ploitation of the poor man and the
black man."
AS the seating capacity of the the
atre is small, DAILY WORKER
readers who haven't secured their
tickets in advance, are advised to get
them early today.

Pullman Officials Fail
to Bride Union Leader

Brother Lancaster listened to this
proposition with interest, as did the
two other brothers whom he had
struggled in, unknown to Sample, to
listen privately to the conversation.
He then demanded an interview with
Mitchell himself, and that, too was
arranged. Bus Mitchell, after ap-
pearing on the scene twice, each time
got cold feet and never turned up for
the interview. Lancaster had ar
ranged reception committee for
him consisting of Arthur Garfield
Hays, other witnesses, and two steno-
graphers.
The main speaker of the evening
was A. Philip Randolph, General Or
ganizer' Of the Brotherhood. He
urged the members to strengthen
their organization, pointing out that
the five million Jews in this coun-
try, although also an oppressed race,
had more power than the Is million
Negroes, because the Jews were or
ganized. Brother w. H. Des Verney
reported on the progress of organi-
cation throughout the South. Brother
Grain announced dance for March
II, and urged the brothers Of the
union to support it. About five hum
bred members of the union were
present.

How the Pullman Company at
tempted to bride officials of the
Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters
was revealed by Brother Roy Lam
caster at a meeting of the Brother
hood at St. Lukes Hall, 1876 West
100 Street. Brother Lancaster told
how P. A. Sample, instructor of por-
ters for the company, came to him
and asked for a very private inter-
view. When this had been granted,
Sample indicated that he came from
j. F. Mitchell, District Superintendent
of New York, and that even higher
officials were backing him.
The proposition which Sample Of
fered Lancaster was simple one
He must merely pick a quarrel with
the union and use that as a pretext
TO quit. For this, the Pullman Com
pany offered him a lump sum Of
from thirty-five to fifty thousand
dollars, and $3.50 month for the rest
of his life. He would have to work
for the company for few months in
order not to raise too much noise, but
after that he could retire Moreover,
Sample said that a little trip to
Europe could be arranged in order to
get him out of the way during the
first publicity which might arise.
