LAWRENCE, Mass, (By MaiD y
The wool sorters are amongst the
highest paid of all the textile work
ers, and they have in the past en-
joyed working conditions that made
them think they could forever stand
on their high pedestals and look
down on other textile workers. They
maintained their favorable position
through sheer selfishness, for in
stance: They would allow one learner
for so many wool sorters. But the
said learner had to work three years
for child labor pay before he could
get wool sorters pay. So this rul-
ing, while at the same time helping
the bosses, had a tendency to dis
courage any but we'll financed pro-
spective wool sorter to learn the
trade. wool sorting can be learned
in three months time.)
Now for the last five or six years,
since the sheep breeders raise sheep
with only one or two grades of wool,
which needs but little sorting, end

Spiridonoff, in order to rule the

Instead of being shown how and
where the robots live, we are con-
tinually shown Aelita's palace. The

of the robots comes like a bomb

expect it, and ends in Aelita, the

SPEEDUP Scheme
But Those Fooled Are
Soon Disillusioned
By a Worker Correspondent.

The bosses use various means to
divide the workers. Here is the
scheme that our boss, in the Pull
man Couch Furniture Co., Long Is
land City, uses. He does not let the
workers call him by his second
name, but let's himself be called
John. This is of course to make be-
lieve that workers and employers
are "alike." So he picks out some
backward workers in the shop, work
crs who still believe that without
the bosses the workers can't work.
These workers fall for the scheme
Of the boss, calling the boss "John, ="
SC they worked like hell during
season time. This of course, meant
that all of us must speed up. The
boss treats these workers little
better for setting the pace, giving
them small favors and patting them
on the back for this.
After the boss had worked this
scheme successfully this John proved
how good "friend" he was of the
workers whom he allowed to call
him John. Some of these workers
who had been duped into speeding
up found out in the following way
how the boss "John" was not their
friend.
1t happened that one of these
workers who had been fooled into
thinking the boss was "friend" of
the workers bought some material
for his home use, and for which he
paid. Because Of the hours that we
work, he wanted to pack this ma
terial in working hours. The boss
passed by and began hollering at
this worker, "What the hell are you
doing, why the hell amt you work
ing. will take every damn minute
off your time"
This incident helped our organi-
zational work, because it disil.usion-
ed this worker and some of the
others who had been fooled. They
now realize that without real up

they will be treated like saves.

'Aellta" a Great Picture,
Falls Down Badly IN End

Aelita, the latest of the Soviet
motion pictures to be shown in the
United States, is one of the most
daring expressions of the art of the
camera yet seen.
Now having its American pre-
miere at the Film Guild Cinema on
West Eighth St., Aelita is a pro-
duct of the Moscow Chamber Studio.
1t has been variously described as
a Russian "R.U.R." and a Soviet
"Caligari." In some respects it
scars miles above either, only to
finally descend to depth away be-
low "R.U.R."
The opening of the film brings US
to the state laboratory over which
zinoff and Spironoff are the presid-
ing geniuses. Spiridonoff is seek
ing way to communicate with
Mars, and to fly there. A puzzling
message is received on the labora-
tory's radio apparatus. Of course,
it's a message from Mars.
Spiridonoff is determined to fly
to that planet, and succeeds in
building a super-plane which will
take him there.
While Spiridonoff is preparing for
the grand flight to Mars, let's see
what kind of place it is.
Arcvad has been able to invent
a device thru which any part of
the earth is clearly visible. Being
sort of Mussolini besides being an
Einstein, he permits no one except
the councillors and his assistant, Vel
tox, to use the device. But Aelita
uses her wiles to good advantage,
and prevails on young Veltox to let
her see the earth. She sees it, and
after getting a glimpse of Broad
way, New York, and a scene in Mos
COW, she sees what she really wants
to sea red hot Hollywood love
scene, kisses and all.
A star-shell from Spiridonoff
lands on Mars, and Arcvad convenes
a hurried meeting of his cabinet,
fearing an aerial attack. Aelita by
stealth gets to the earth-seeing APP
paratus, and dispatches her maid to
meet Spiridonoff at the landing
place. Spiridonoff is brought to
Aelita, who Immediately succumbs.

Wolford Leads Group
of Progressives
BIZ q Worker Correspondent.


CHESTER, Pa, (By MaiD.-The
prazen thievery of 40 per cent of
every longshoreman's pay wages,
which has been a practice of the
contracting stevedores here at the
expense of the Negro dock workers
Is being bitterly fought by group
CT militant Negro longshoremen,
numbering approximately 1876, under
he leadership of Thomas Wolford,
leader of the Negro workers here,
and a member of the American Ne
gro Labor Congress.
Wolford has been barred from the
numerous riverside industries of
Chester because of his courageous
militancy against the crooked bosses
and because of his attempts to
unionize the longshoremen.
Cheat Workers.
"Foremen of the longshoremen
cheat the longshoremen out of IS
cents of every hours pay of every
worker; giving our men only so
cents an hour, instead of the IS
cents the men should get. The pay
of every other seaport along the At
lantic seaboard is SIS cents" That
is what Wolford tells the lockers.
sour only means of combating
these thieving foremen who are aid
ed by the riverside companies, is to
form a militant union. Then we can
walk out until we receive our proper
pay"
Wolford is confident that his group
of workers will organize a walkout
in the near future.
ut is a shame to let your steve
dore contractors take advantage of
you in such way as they do" VOL
ford dins into the minds of the steve
dores. Chester is the only non
union port in the Atlantic coast"
Wolford has been fighting to
arouse a number of longshoremen
who are satisfied to drift along with
the wage they are getting. He warns
them to fight for the wage that is
due them, because the Negroes,
more than any other worker are ex-
plotted in their youth and thrown in
the ash can when they get a little
older. Get your deserved wages, get
your IS cents an hour while you
cam" he advices.
Form Militant Group.
He is backed by group of ap-
proximately 1875 longshoremen. They
are working hard to overcome the
non-militant spirit of more than one
hundred other stevedores.
Many of the militant workers be-
long to the local branch of the Ne
gro Labor Congress, one of the most
active and strongest groups in the
country.
Fight Doping of Workers.
Wolford plans to organize the
chauffeurs and cabmen of the city
after he has succeeded with the long
shoremen.
He is also bitterly fighting the
spread of the "dope" habit which has
taken root among many workers OF
the Bethel Court district. The po-
litical leader of the Negroes in that
section was recently sent to federal
Jail for five years after the authori-
ties could no longer overlook his
business in dope, running scores Of
hard working Negroes here.
"They are trying to dope the Ne
groes so we will not realize oul
needs to combine and fight for oul
rights" Wolford says. We've got
to demand our rights, go out anc
fight for them," he says, because
they certainly won't hand them t.
