.USSR DECREASING
Shows Big Decline in
Moscow, Leningrad

MOSCOW. (By MaiD.-The num-
her of industrial workers on the labor
exchange in Moscow considerably de-
creased last year (from 32,778 to
1888 and the group of unskilled
workers and employees has increased.
To meet the demand for skilled
workers, the labor exchange is carry
ing on extensive work in training the
unemployed. During the past year
6,143 have learned trades The labor
assistance to unemployed increases
yearly. At the present time there are
over 10000 unemployed working in
collective enterprises.
About $4,000 people have gone
through the unemployed collective en-
terprises. $4,000 unemployed were
engaged on public utility work, OF
whom $3.50 were women. The labor
exchange supplies 5000 needy unem-
ployed with dinners at reduced rates
lin 1926 only 5000 were served din
ners).
Leningrad unemployment continu-
ally decreases. During the period
May-January, the number of unem-
ployed dropped by 1870. Most of the
unemployed registered on the labor
exchange offer their labor power for
the first time.

oKlllIully managed, TINS device pro-
duces an illusion sufficient to supply
the missing house wall and the i'm
aginary distance separating the two
| scenes. There is no need to justify
this technique by any fine theories of
revolutionary form and content. 1t
is simple and practical expedient.
The turn of an electric switch is the
cheapest device for changing a scene;
eliminating expensive sets and diff
cult labor. In such directions, the
Workers Theatre is proceeding, and
in further progress along this line it
will discover new tricks for produc-
ing the most effective illusions with
the greatest economy.
The first performance showed
lack of practice. Play-acting is hard
work and requires a lot of difficult
rehearsing. The Negro cast in CAT
termath" gave evidence of more dis
clpline and experienced training.
In boosting the first efforts of the
! Workers Theatre and congratulating
them on a successful achievement, we
must not encourage the careless slip
shod performances that are condemn
ed under the term amateur theatri-
calls" That stuff is not good enough.
The current movies and vaudeville
shows are better. If the Workers
Theatre is to succeed, it must gather
group of actors and stage workers
who have not only the necessary abil-
| ity, but also the zeal and patience to
submit to discipline and hard work
which is necessary for effective per-
formances. II you are going to
switch lights, instead of changing
scenes, that's all right. It is cheap
and effective. But the lights must
be arranged just right; and they must
be switched at exactly the right mo-
ment. If you are going to show mass
picketing on twenty-foot stage, it
is necessary to practice the marching
and counter-marching over and over
again, with a keen-eyed, hard Boiled
director out front, willing and able to
show his company how TO create the
greatest illusion under these limita-
tons. These are just some of the
problems that the Workers Theatre
are tackling, and it is mighty inter
esting to see them at the job. They
have already SO far succeeded that
their present performances are not
only interesting but are good, stir
ring, class dramas as well. The Work
ers Theatre are putting on the shows;
the readers Of The DAILY WORKER
should provide the audiences. Go
tonight, March IL, to the Triangle
] Theatre, Seventh Avenue between
Perry and 18th Streets, and see these
shows. And if the guy next to you
thinks it funny when a cop slugs a
striker, poke him in the ribs. If you
want tickets in advance, or more in
formation about the Workers Thee tire,
write to Florence Rauh, secretary, the
Workers Theatre, 81 Charles Street.

 From Dutch Harbor a revenue cut ter will take them to St. Paul Island which station will be calibrated, also the St. George station The latter will also be tested for compass sites and if no suitable locations are found there the vicinity of Scotch Cap will be Investigated This work really was initiated last summer and will be car ried forwarded again weather per hitting. The department has in view the establishment of new compass station in other areas other than the one now located on St. Paul.
