Prisoners of the Sea" Now

"Potemkin photography plus a

A series of rapidly moving events,

participated in by sailors, sub
marines and coast guard cutters Of
the U. S. S. r. Black Sea fleet show
how foreign imperialist spies are
frustrated, and how even the dis
sension and misunderstanding that
such creatures try to create is
liquidated under the straightforward
loyalty of the Red sailors.
The story opens with a scene of
the civil war, 1919, with a detach-
ment Of the Red Army, including
several sailors, retreating from a
village and the White Guard enter
ing. A member Of the sailors group,
a former captain in the Russian
fleet, is captured and thrown into
cell with a young sailor. They try
to burn a document but can't light
it, and are separated with the docu-
ment seized by the enemy; the young
sailor to be shot, and the former
officer to be saved by his sen, who
is white guard officer
The younger man RECEIVERS from
his wounds, and becomes a sub
marine commander in 1927 or 1928,
the whole base being under the COM
mand of the old captain. Though a
love affair develops between the
young commander and the old Off
GERS daughter, the young man enter
tains healthy suspicion of his for
mer cellmate, as result of the 1919
experience.
The base commanders son APP
pears, as a spy, and his actions con-
firm the suspicious of the sub
commander against his father.
Finally, when the spies are gathered
in a ship with a strong British
flavor about it, the sub-commander
goes for practise cruise to watch
that ship, but in diving, one sailor,
made drunk by shady individual,
probably spy, accidentally wrecks
the submarine and she lies on the
bottom in 1870 feet Of water.
When the U. S. submarine "S-4"
sank, she had not hosting rings to
raise her. The U.S.S.R. subs were
not taking such chances with their
crews, and rescue boats raised the
ship, after capturing the spy, and
after dangerous diving done by the
base commander himself. So every
thing is explained, and the two COM
rades shake hands.
The real joy in this picture, aside
from the snap and efficiency of the
Red sailors, is in the marine photo
graphy, beautiful views of the Black
Sea and shore towns, and of the COM
plicated, compact and powerful
machinery of the submarine.
The scenes in the submarine, when
the crew waits heroically for rescue
or death, with only six hours of air,
and none at all toward the end, are
realistic and CHASTITY. Men sweat
and gasp for breath. But with the
exception of two who crack under
the strain, all are calm and courage

KENOSHA, Wise, by MaiD.-
The Nash Motors Co. in three Wis
consin cities, Milwaukee, Kenosha
and Racine, employs about $4,000
workers. There are no labor unions
in any of these plants. Therefore
the workers in them are unprotected
and are exploited mercilessly.
The pioce-work system is worked
in all these shops. The prices are
exceedingly low, causing the work
ers to speed up to the utmost.
Gangwork System.
A tremendous competition is 60
ing on in the auto industry among
the leading manufacturers. In this
competition the workers are always
made to carry the burden. We see
this by the fact that the wages
are decreasing.
In spite of the low wages, hard
work, and misery among the auto
workers, at the Nash plants, this
company, after lay-off session,
which is common here, introduced a
new sort of shameful slavery, the
gangwork system. In the motors de-
partment this system is already in
effect, while in the others, nothing
was done yet. But this system will
be introduced.
1t is time to organize a militant
union. 1t can be done, as the incl
dent in the cam shaft department
proved.
Men Walk Out.
The foreman of this department
tried to induce the workers to ac-
eept the gangwork system but the
workers refused to accept it. Some
were fired. Seeing such autocracy
forced upon them, fellow workers
from the crank shaft department,
piston lines, and connecting rod de-
partments stopped their machines
and zoe men were ready to walk
out on strike with the camshaft
workers.
The workers demanded the aboli-
ton of the gangwork system, and
the reinstatement of the workers
who were fired. The company Off
cial, seeing this militant spirit,
agreed to comply with the workers
demands.
Ready to Organize.
This shows the time is ripe to or
game the workers here. The A. F.
of L. once came to Kenosha, to or
ganize the auto workers, and instead
of organizing them they were throw
ing mud at the other labor organi
cations. 1t is plain to see they don't
care to organize the workers.

(By Worker Correspondent
LACKAWANNA, NY. (By MaiD
To speak of the steel mills around
Buffalo is to speak of Lackawanna
and the direct control of the city
administration by the interests Of
the steel industry.
Lackawanna is a company town
of about $4,000 working population,
with a small bunch of company poll
ticians, who do everything by order
of the general manager of the Beth
lebem Steel Co.
The Seneca Sheet Mill, the Don
mar Steel Co., the Portland Cement
Co. and smaller shops are located
in this territory, which, together
with the grain and flour elevators,
make the most industrial section of
Buffalo. And one must not forget
that Buffalo is the eighth industrial
city in the United States.
A Steel Center.
While very few people know
Lackawanna is on the map, yet the
blast furnaces, open-hearths, rolling
mills, which are operated by I'M
skilled, cheap labor, produce much
of the total U. S. steel output.
In the Lackawanna steel mills we
make steel for all parts of the
world, and for all uses of industry.
But, as ] am common steel worker,
I want to say that the most inter
esting factor in steel making is the
fact that there are so many nation
alities among the steel workers.
Here we have representatives sent
to slave for the steel trust by every
race on earth.
Many Foreign Born Workers.
Unloading the ore, melting it in
the modern blast furnaces, purify
ing it in the open-hearths, rolling,
chipping. finishing and shipping
all is done by unskilled labor; mostly
foreign-born workers who are easily
terrorized by the company agents
ard submit to the will of the COM
pany's slave drivers and efficiency
dogs.
The American-born workers are
not treated differently. We have no
protection.
The so-called laws for protection
of labor in industry are kept in the
roomy and clean offices of the man
ayers for formal show to the state
inspectors. who are interested in
good cigars land what goes with
it), and don't give damn for our
lives.
Many Mangled and Killed.
Every day steel workers are taken
to the hospitals, many Of whom die
on their way. But still others are
sent to undertakers as bunch of
bloody remnants of what was once
a Mexican laborer, a Negro oiler,
Polish hooker, or whatever he
might have been in this basic indus
try. Under the most terrible work
ing conditions we work for as low
as 40 cents per hour. And out of
this we must pay for the stock that
the company forces us to buy.
Many workers, who cannot stand
the speed-up system, are sent home
"for their own good" At the en-
ployment office hundreds of work
ers every morning are waiting to
take our places, although the agent
hires only "husky young fellows"
From day to day our working con-
ditions are worsened and unless
someone helps us to organize a
union, to include every steel worker,
through which we can fight back
the company's advance upon our liv-
ing standards, we are doomed to
physical degradation as lifelong
slaves of the Bethlehem Steel Co.

Of the authority conferred upon him
by the present tariff law was denied
and the power now vested in him re-
legated to Congress.
Similar opposition is expected to
develop to the flexible plan for re-
vising the tax schedules.
Under the Treasury plan, the ad-
ministration would be empowered to
alter tax rates to fit estimated gov
ernment revenues and expenditures.
In this way, the Treasury could
determine each January what the
rates on incomes of the year just
closed should be. This, in the opin-
ion of Under-Secretary Mills, of the
Treasury Department, would not in
terfere with the regular provision of
the revenue law nor preclude a per-
manent and reduction in tax rates.
Secretary Melons new proposal
for reduced taxes is intended to be
of temporary effect. 1t is planned ,
that the changed rates be embodied
in joint resolution of Congress
which could be adopted without the
delay that would arise from gen.
eral revision of the revenue laws.
The resolution would be applicable
only to taxes on incomes of the |
present calendar year and by its ex-
piration automatically restore the
present rates when taxes on in
comes of 1880 become payable.
