'LABORITES" TRY
TO SMASH STRIKE
Spinners' Officials Aim
to Betray

LONDON, July 31.-Efforts of
the labor party to smash the big
strike of 100000 British textile
workers, while posing as friend of
the workers, continued today.
Partial success for the petrayers
was intimated in the report that the
spinners' section of the textile
strikers is ready to enter into ne
gotiations with tie manufacturers
and will accept scme reduction less
than the twelve and one-half per
cent the bosses inflicted. Nothing
absolutely definite, however, has
been stated by the spinners' Off
Gals.
The great artificial silk firm of
Courtaulds has announce the tenn
porary closing of its works at Nun
eaton, Leigh and Holywell, blaming
their shutdown on the strike. There
is no demand in Lancashire, where
the bulk of their product formerly
went, for processed yarns.
The close collaboration between
the reactionaries and the labor par
ty was disclosed in an apologize
speech of Stanley Baldwin's today.
Baldwin stated that the strike was
not a political matter, "even with
a labor government" He said the
ministry of labor was unable to pre-
vent such affs irs.

THE work of the young direct
L ing genius Of Soviet Russia j.
U. Reiseman in making "In Old
Siberia" which is now showing at
the Cameo Theatre brought forward
high praise of critics throughout
Europe.
George Herzberg, eminent Berlin
film authority and critic says:
"Reiseman is a film enthusiast and
is all enraptured by his work. He
has mastered all the intricacies of
the complicated filmcraft of Soviet
Russia. His first film, "In Old ST.
beria," portrays a Siberian prison,
where the political convicts suffer
under the brutal regime of a cruel
warden who carries out the wishes
of the arch-reactionaries in the
Cars government. The revolution
puts an end to the inhumanities
practiced at the prison, and the
political convicts are set free.
"For the past few years Soviet
Russia has turned out number of
such films, portraying various
phases of the old regime, showing
it up as a regime of cruelty, callous-
ness, exploitation. And with every
new film of this kind the director
is hard put to it to devise new means
of impressing the spectators with
his message, of conveying to them
the feeling that the revolution is a
tremendous event of emancipating
from the evils of the old order.
"Reiseman is primarily concerned
with the task of creating work
of cinematic art. He takes for
granted the fore-knowledge of the
Russian masses concerning the basic
features of the old regime, and he,
therefore, omits truisms. He leaves
cut, as obvious, the big things, and
devotes his attention to significant
and eloquent details. The result
sometimes smacks of cinematic deli
cacy. The film-connoisseur will be
delighted with some of Reiseman's

AGENCY SHARK
GyPS WORKERS
OF CLOTHING
New Schemes Swindle
Unemployed

by a Worker Correspondent
PHILADELPHIA (By Mail). -
The job agency sharks of this city
persist in their swindling operations.
They concoct new schemes of swim
ding the scores of thousands of I'M
employed daily.
One of these sharks, Charles Mes
ter by name, manager of the En-
ployment Bureau Co. demanded that
the workers put up clothing and
personal effects as a guarantee they
would appear ready for work.
When the workers found they had
been "gypped" and the jobs they
were sent to were worthless. Mes
ter refused to return their clothing.
Even the corrupt capitalist courts
OF this city could not ignore this
upon complaint of several victims,
hester was arrested and held in
81, 900 bail for the grand jury.
The specific complaint against
hester was made by worker, Geo.
Richards of 1853 North American
street, who had been promised a
job if he would deposit with Mes
ter a bag valued at $50.
When Richards discovered the
job was not such as described by
hester, he returned to the agency
and demanded back his belongings.
hester refused to give them back
to him, whereupon Richards swore
out a warrant, and at the courtroom
many ether victims of hester ap-
peared to testify against the swim
ding methods of hester.
For every hester arrested and
tried there are many more of his
kind never brought to book, for the
rich Mellon owned state of Penn
sylvania has no policy to protect
the hundred thousand admitted I'M
employed workers in this state.
The Pennsylvania State Board of
Labor now admits 100000 unem-
ployed. What the real number is
is unknown, but it must be ener-
nous, judging from conditions in
Philadelphia and vicinity.-C. r.

SE|PEL RESIGNS
AUSTRIAN POST
Roman Catholic Priest Quits
as Chancellor Because
of Opposition.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
VIENNA, April 4.-Mgr, Ignaz Seipel
the Roman Catholic priest who has
guided the destinies of the Austrian
republic as chancellor for six years, re-
signed yesterday with his colleagues OF
the Christian Socialist party. Besides
being chancellor, DR.. Seipel was minis
ter of home affairs and minister Of for
eign affairs. He will continue provi-
sionally In Office In order to dispose OF
current business.
The chancellor explained the resig-
nation by saying that he had become q
personal impeachment to the passage by
Parliament of certain urgently needed
legislation. There ware also, he said, Sc
rious differences of opinion within his
\ own party as well as a conflict between
his followers and the Pan-German or
Nationalist group.
Cites Failure to Get Loan.
A third reason for the withdrawal
4 was failure Of the government to OBJ
''tain loan for 500, 900, 900 from either
America or Europe.
He said he could have continued to
resist criticism as government official,
\ but that he could not hold his ONCE In
. tllC 4dNC Va ORROoAbAOk1 VI Hill PClSO1l6hy
as priest. The church, he said, was
his chief concern.
Although the resignation Of the chan
cellor was not wholly unforeseen, 1t
came much sooner than many had ex-
\ pected. 1t grew largely out of the fact
that the Clerical party, which controls
the national government, and the So
cial Democratic party, which rules
Vienna, had Numerically opposite
views on almost every subject calling
for legislation.
The chancellor's popularity had weak
ened steadily since the disastrous riots
of July. 1927, when nearly 100 Socialists
were killed and several hundred were
wounded. There have been clashes
since then between the Home Defense
League, personally sponsored by DR..
.Seipel. and the Social Democratic or
ganization. which has for its object the
maintenance Of republic.
University Project Killed.
Recently the Pan-German or Ma
tionalist group in Parliament deserted
the Clerical party and joined the Social
Democrats. This defeated DR., Seipel's
plan to establish a Roman Catholic
university at Salzburg and it also killed
his project to open a Catholic school In
Bergenland.
In some quarters last night it was
suggested that a crisis still might be
averted by having DR.. Seipel reconstruct
the government, dropping those men,
bers of the cabinet who are most dis
tasteful to the opposition. This would
Especially apply to Karl Vaughn, min
lister of defense. and Richard Schmitz,
minister of education.
1t is questionable, however whether
such a step would satisfy the Social
Democrats. In addition to withdrawal
bf the Clericals from the government,
they have been after the scalp Of Police
President Schober.
