"1he Hands of OHac" Film /
Y Is Well Conceived MeI0dYulua

"The Hands of Orlac" at the Green
witch Village Theatre, directed by DR.,
Robert Weine, the creator of Cali

ceived and executed melodrama, based
on material, which if one is to trust
the psychoanalysts, springs straight
from the base of every persons being.
The guilt complex, the phantasy of
the sinful hands, of the murdered
father, the enormous force of sugges,
ton, the power of the will, if any, to
break the pattern Of an ingrained
habit, as we'll as the latest achieve
ments of the Bertillon method and

woven into drama which those who
like that sort of thing will find per-
maps as absorbing and original as
"Caligari' itself.

(Bu a Worker Correspondent

(By a Worker Correspondent
German seamen in New York har-
Dor held a mass meeting on June IL
at 1877 Hudson ST., Hoboken.
This meeting was called to protest
against the German seamen's ordi-
nance and the brutal treatment ac-
corded the seamen on vessels at sea.
The German seamen's ordinance was
passed under the Kaiser in 1902. 1t
is still in existence altho Germany
has been republic" for the past
ten years.
Thru the Canal.
Before l start to tell about the
meeting 1 will describe what hap
pened on the S. s., Trpitz while going
thru the Panama Canal. The crew
of the Tirpitz and the International
Seamen's Club arranged the meeting.
The story was told to me by one of
the crew of the Tirpitz.
eve were going thru the Panama
Canal from west to east. Near the
city of Gallo on the western coast,
some sailors were standing on deck
singing folk and revolutionary songs.
"The captain heard this and told US
to keep our mouths shut. We refused
because we have a perfect right to
sing. We told him that there were
no flunkeys there.
"Then the captain came down and
asked who was singing. We replied
that we had all sung.
''The captain violated law which
says that all captains must stay on
the bridge when passing thru the
Panama Canal.
"Seeing that we were all united,
the captain wanted to scare US so he
grabbed one man by the collar and
asked him if he had sung.
"We told the captain to take his
hands off our brother. This led to
quarrel which lasted several min
utes. The quarrel ended when he de-
cided to send one sailor and the cap
tain to the nearest German consul.
"When they came to the consul, he
tried to arbitrate the question. He
wanted that particular sailor to apol-
ogize to the captain. The man re-
fused. Then the consul himself apol-
ogized in behalf of the whole crew
to the captain. The consul did this
because he knew that the captain was
wrong.
ee,o One Dollar Apiece. ~
"When the boat arrived in New
York harbor. the captain gave every
man one dollar apiece. The Interna-
tional Seamen's Club gave us law
yer and we wanted to sue the captain
for more money. Seeing that he
would get the bad end of it, the cap
tain gave us all three dollars each.
after this we called the protest
meeting"

w. Mueller, of the S. S. Tirpitz,
was the main speaker He said in part:
ut is shame for every German sea-
man to receive such treatment as we
do Germany is not as free as you
people in America imagine. We are
not allowed to sing. When you do,
you are punished.
eve can change the German sea-
mems ordinance by organizing a
strong seamen's union on a revolu-
tionary basis, We call upon all sea-
men for unity in our common strug-
gle. We call upon the German labor
parties and the trade union congress
to support us. We will not make any
compromises with the capitalists.
Eve call upon the labor fractions
in the ReichstaS to help u.s. gain our
demands. Do not rely too much on
the Reiehstag, too, for our battles will
have to be fought over the street bar
ricades.
$4,000 to Organize.
Mueller compared the life of the
German seamen with the Russian sea-
men. an the Soviet Union they get
a vacation with pay. In Germany
they get nothing. Only $500 German
seamen are organized out of total
of $4,000. The fish we eat is decayed
and the meat stinks."
The speaker then thanked the In
ternational Seamen's Club for their
help in arranging this meeting.
Another said that the German trade
union congress is not becoming revo-
lutionary. 1t is becoming reactionary.
A resolution was then unanimously
adopted protesting against the Ger
man seamen's ordinance of 1902. It
calls upon the German government to
annul the act. Further it calls upon
the labor fractions in the Reichstag
to fight against the act.
The chairman then spoke in Eng
lish.
Mueller then summed up. He said,
"The Soviet Union is our fatherland."
This was followed by long applause.
He denounced the German social DEM
ocratic leaders for their neglect in not
organizing the German seamen. He
ended by saying, "The victory is
ours"
The meeting was closed with the
singing of the International and the
salute of the Red Front Fighters. AS
the seamen filed out of the hall they
sang a song about Karl Liebknecht
and Rosa Luxembourg. A. B. S.

8. Fight for the protection of

Young so indicated here when in
formed that the American Federation
of Labor was planning to seek
Moneys release.
Governor Young believes those
who have been sent to prison should
first gain a parole from the prison
directors and then show meritorious
conduct in society that they are
worthy of consideration before they
seek a pardon.
Because Of this beliefNby the ex-
ecutive, little hope for MONEYS re-

a parole from the prison director"
