Foster; New Mine, Textile
Unions IN Oct. Labor Unity

Organization of the unorganized
is the basic task confronting the
left wing. 1t must be tackled with
far greater energy and directness
Than ever before. The great key in
dustries of the country, the vast ar
mics of semiskilled and unskilled,
are almost totally unorganized. The
reactionary leaders of the A. F. of
L. will not organize these masses;
they are opposed to it. More and
more they base themselves upon
skilled workers and sacrifice the in
Lerests of the unskilled. The organi-
cation Of the great mass of unor-
ganized is the task of the left wing"
This is the keynote of the leading
article in the October issue of Labor
Unity, and it is written by VIM. 2.
Foster, national secretary Of the
Trade Union Educational League.
He promises further that the 7. u.
E. L. will devote greater energy to
the organization of Negroes, women
and youth, that it will intensity the
struggle to GUST the misleaders of
labor from the old unions that have
mass following still, that greater at
tention will be paid to the struggles
of labor in other countries, and closer
connections with the propaganda
bureaus of the Red International of
Labor Unions will be established, as
also with the Pan-Pacific Secretariat
of Trade Unions and the Latin Amer
lean Secretariat.
The October issue of Labor Unity
has some unique first hand stories
of the organization of the two great
new unions last month, the National
Miners Union, after the battle of
Pittsburgh, and the National Textile
Workers Union. The miners con-
vention is reported by none other
than the president of the union, John
Watt, and is illustrated with faction
photos" taken by delegate in the
hall, of the gangsters out in front,
trying to break up the convention.
In two of the pictures, the striking
down of Anthony Calamari is clear
ly shown. Calamari is now in the
hospital in Pittsburgh, with concus-
sion of the brain.
The struggle of the Australian
workers against the Bruce govern
ment's anti-strike law will be a use
full lesson and an inspiration to the
workers of America, faced with the
imminent danger of federal anti
strike law. The article gives a COM
prehensive survey of the whole
Australian labor movement, with
copious quotations from documentary

Sovkino Film Comedy
Opens Today at Cameo

THE Amkino will present the first
S0vkino screen comedy entitled,
"3 Comrades and 1 Invention" (for-
merly titled "The Three Moscow
Teers") at the Cameo Theatre to-
day. This Sovkino production is the
first attempt at cinema humor by
the Russian studios and has been
acclaimed by the European public
and press for its delightful humor.
SO Comrades and / Invention"
deals with the hilarious adventures
of two "young geniuses" anxious to
help Russia out of its industrial
dilemmas. Their ambition is to in
vent g.: automatic packing box max
err which will give, as they term it,
the death blow to local capitalism.
90 Comrades and 1 Invention" was
directed by Alexis Popoff, who also
wrote the scenario.
On the same program with the
Soviet comedy will be presented for
its first showing in America, "a
Shanghai Document" which is a
psycho-cinematic travelogue of that
unique metropolis under the stress
of its recent revolutionary uprising.
GA Shanghai Document" is also a
Sovkino production taken by two en-
terprising directors and cameramen,
Jakob Blokh and Leo Stepanov, who
imperilled their lives obtaining the
extraordinary shots of Shanghai
during its recent disturbances. This
film gives vivid insight into the
life of a Chinese native as well as
the foreign concessionaire and the
conflicting cross-currents of their
existence.
Due to an extraordinary interest
which has been aroused in the short
Ufa film "Killing the Killer" this
is being held over for another week
in conjunction with the new pro-
gram.

Not only will the students of the

Theatre Guild Opens New
Season with GOethe,s Faust

THE Theatre Guild takes "a long
philosophical poem, Goethe's
Faust" breaks it up into seventeen
scenes, puts some scenery in the
Rheinhardt style on the stage, and
forces % good actors and mob to
wade through it.
Then, suppose, they wonder why
people yawn. Goethe's Faust" is
good poetry, even if it isn't much
but an homogeneous mixture as
philosophy. 1t is ladder the man
Goethe, child of his century, climbed,
stopping now and then for a lyrical
fling, jig or two, but most of the
time peering down over the world
and stating his opinion of it. His
opinion seems to have been heavily
influenced by kind of transcenden-
talism, by the metaphysics of the
period, though he dabbled with even
more harmful poisons, in that ia
nous line in which he foreshadows
Pragmatism-"In the beginning was
the deed" Engels, making medicine
of snake venom, later used this quo
tation, it will be remembered, to IL
lustrate a point.
Well, anyway, you can read
philosophical poem, you can recite
it, suitably translated into Italian
you can sing it, if you are Chalia-
pin. But you can't make play of
it. Let US hope the Theatre Guild
will learn from the experience.
The theme of Faust is too slight.
God wagers with the devil that the
good man Faust can not be per-
manently enticed away from him.
But Faust is something of mer-
chant at heart. He will sell any
thing, even his soul, for riches,~ and
the youth to enjoy them. In most
versions of the theme, he does what
every good merchant wants to do,
he swindles his opponent in the end.
The end is left in doubt in the pres
ent production.
Grated on the Faust story, as
one of the temptations the devil Of
fers, is the seduction by Faust of
the little idiot, Margaret. Just what
he saw in her is hard to understand,
when he could have had his pick of
the very much more interesting
witches. Anyway, it is an essen
TALLY undramatic and unheroic love
affair, and the girl goes crazy with
fear in the end, and kills her baby.
The arrangement of the play the
Theatre Guild is using boasts of fol-
lowing Goethe closely, which I sup
pose is the excuse for making six
scenes pass before the devil does
what you know all along he is 60
ing to do anyway, what the operas
usually get through with in ore
scene, the restoration Of Faust to
youth. This takes too much time
for machine age.
The acting is good, considering
how little of it there can be in an
affair of this sort. Helen Chandler,
whom we last saw in Creole, vamp-
ing a pirate, has just the sort of
transparent beauty and stupid ex-
preston that a Margaret should
have. Dudley Digges is Mephisto-
pheles; he isn't very devilish, but
Goethe made the character too much
of Phi. D. to give him much lati-
tude. The most enjoyable is the fat
Martha, acted by Helen Wesley.
Her single minded pursuit of the
next husband is made human, and
understandable by some talented
acting, that rescues the part fro
the ridiculous to which even Goethe

Report Is Made on Work Done, Last Six Month.
 of Year 1927

FAIRBANKS, Jan. 1s-Paul Hopkins. Analytical Chemist fc.' the United States Bureau Of Mines, working in cooperation with the Alaska Agricultural Col lege and School of Mines, reports the following assays and minera- logical determinations for six months period from July 1. 1927, to December 31, 1927
 Number of custom assays mads, 515; official assays and analyses, SS; duplicates and miscellaneous. I'll; Identification tests, 1S4.
 The following determinations were made in connection with the above: Aluminium, 2; antimony, 13; arsenic, 10; calcium, 6; coal, '; copper, 16; gold and silver. 639; requiring 794 fusions or seorifications and 664 cupella- tions. iron, 10; lead. 20; magnes- ium, 4; manganese, 2;e, nickel, ?, platinum, 20; silica, 2; sulphur + tin, 5; water, 8; zinc, 10.
 These results serve as good barometer for the interest being taken by various parties along the belt of the Alaska Railroad.
 This assay work is done at the College comparatively by the Bureau of Mines and the College as one means of aiding in the min eral development of Alaska. There is not sufficient work of this na- ture to make commercial assayiny profitable at ordinary prices, hence MT. Hopkins is assigned to this work which is actually car ried on at loss. The charge for combined gold and silver assay IS S100 and $1.00 for each additional mineral. Ordinary mineral deter. minations are made. free Of charge. The prospectors of Alas, ka are urged to take advantage of this service.
