L|CKSPITTLE OF
WALL ST. HERE
Marin Not Trusted by
the Toilers

We continue the series of letters
from a Porto Rican workers now
in New York. He continues to tell
of the tricks of Luis Munos Ma
rim, one of the Porto Rican labor
misleaders who have come to New
York to fool the Porto Rican work.
ers here.
Now Mr. Marin has turned pink
"liberal," a disciple of Mencken and
a constant contributor to Wizards
labor batting Nation.
Mr.. Marin's vaccilating ways
brand him as a first rate opportun-
list and a betrayer of labor, which
is the reason why the workers of
Porto Rico do not trust him.
Now Luis has arrived in New
York, contracted by the league to
write five editorials for their week
ly organ, Gel Nuevo Mundo," one
to appear each week, for five con-
secutive weeks. The first four ar
ticles that emanated from the keen
and gracious pen of our beloved
hero, dealt mostly with the physiol-
ogical, theological and psychological
characteristics of the two most out
standing figures in the political life
of Porto Rico, A. R. Barcelo, the
honorable" president of our Porto
Rican senate and president of the
near-bankrupt "holy" alliance, and
Senator Santiago Iglesias, leader of
the minority group in the senate and
president of the "yellow socialist
constitutional party.
In other words, it was a character
reading of two of Wall Streets ac-
credited agents in Porto Rico.
In those articles, Mr.. Marin tried
to explain that both Iglesias and
Barcelo were just like two playful
brothers, good fellows, good citi-
zens, good dollar" patriots that had
embraced the cause of Porto Rico
(meaning Wall ST. with their heart
and soul.
But the "catch" was to be found
in the last editorial when Senior Ma
rim makes a heart-to heart appeal to
the Porto Rican people of Harlem
and their so-called representative"
organizations to come together,
think together, act together and or
ganize into a solid unit that they
may use and exercise their collec-
tive influence upon these men,
these gentlemen" (these hypocrites,
these grovelling servants of Ameri-
can imperialism) that they in turn
should get together, stick together
and fight for the same patriotic
principles that have always served
them, individually, as their guide.
In the above, "dollar principles"
one should substitute, patriotic
principles"
But can you imagine two of Nor
gan's lickspittles not sticking to-
gether, especially should they be up
to a question between the capitalist
class and the working class?
When in New York City or Wash
ington, D. c., on official or unof-
ficial business, it is favorite pas
time for these imperialist satellites
to hobnob together most amicably
in the best of hotels and restaurants.
Antonio r. Barcelo and Santiago
Iglesias are both lackeys Of Wall st.
and, naturally, they eat from the
same imperialist plate. But Mr.. Ma
rims well versed and well paid ar
ticles were only prelude for pre-
arranged, portly editorial that fol-
lowed. ITO be continued.

No Support for the
Workers from Them
(By a Worker Correspondent

(By Worker Correspondent
PHILADELPHIA, (By Nail -
The hosiery mill owners, the friends
of the leaders of the Full Fashioned
Hosiery Workers Union, are waging
terrific campaign to break up the
union and cut wages.
The misleaders of the union have
always advised the workers to CO.
operate with the bosses and have
here in Philadelphia sanctioned the
Mitten- Mahon sellout and have been
ever willing tools of the bosses.
Wages Cut, Injunctions, Lockouts.
Today the hosiery workers in Phil
adelphia are faced with lockouts,
wage cuts, injunctions, etc. At the
Mammoth Hosiery Mill all the men
are locked out. Women, cheaper
slaves of the bosses are in their
places. An injunction against the
strikers prohibits picketing; the
scabs, recruited from the lowest
type of women stand at the win
dows with their fingers at their
noses telling the strikers to go to
hell.
The leaders of the union, if they
really want to win the strike for
the workers must organize these
scabs, ignore the injunctions, mass
picket the mill. FhF
Judge is Mill Stakeholder.
Judge McDevitt, stakeholder in
the mills and a labor hater, issued
a most drastic injunction against
picketing at the Cambria Mill. This
judge was supported by the leaders
of the union and the judge true to
his class, the capitalist class, has
rewarded the hosiery workers who
were betrayed by their officials in
crushing the strike against a big
wage cut.
Union Head Was Mill Boss.
The hosiery workers in Philadel-
phia are facing the biggest struggle
in their history. The past president
of the union received $4,000 a year
yet while head of the union was him.
self a mill owner.
The officials of the hosiery work
ers union have and still are urging
cooperation with their real masters
the mill bosses. The writer, dur
ing the strike at the Ajax and
Federal mills a year ago told OF
the bosses plans and exposed the
takers who sold out the hosiery
workers in these strikes.
Yet today in every mill the work
ers have received wage slashes, in
creased speedup, and lockouts, be-
cause their officials made them
follow the policy of cooperation
with the bosses.
Defy the Injunction!
The hosiery workers must defy
injunctions, must mass picket. The
Communist Party is for the workers
against the bosses, and the Daily
Worker, the paper which fights for
the interest of the workers will ex-
pose the tools of the capitalist mill
owners, Hosiery workers of Amer
lea, send a delegate to the Trade
Union Educational Convention in
Cleveland on August 81. Fight to
save your union from the attacks
of the bosses who betray you.

NORFOLK, Va, (By MaiD. - I
want to give clear idea of the con-
ditions of the workers, thousands of
them, in the so-ealled Old Dominion
State, Virginia.

Low Wages in Shipbuilding.
There are no less than $4,000
worke- employed in the shipbuild-
ing industry in the tri-cities. The
overwhelming majority of them re-
ceive from 80 to 40 cents an hour.
The Negro workers, because of pow
erty and heavy mortgages on land
are being driven to the cities to
swell the already large army of I'M
employed (there are from 1000 to
10000 unemployed in Norfolk
alone). In Norfolk there are over
10000 Negro workers living in the
worst section of the city, centering
around Church, Chapel and Queen
Streets. They slave in the greater
part, in the fertilizing plants, of
which there are 33 in Norfolk,
Portsmouth and Suffolk.
5000 Fertilized Slaves.
The fertilizing industry forms the

5000 workers in the fertilizer manu-
featuring plants, getting paid wages
of from 25 to 40 cents an hour.
Practically all the workers in this
industry are Negroes, who have in
recent years migrated to the tri-
cities.
IA Hour Day in Lumber Plants
Then the lumber industrytis quite
important in the tri-cities, for there
are more than 5000 workers en-
ployed in it. Many of them are Ne
groes. Their wages range from II
to 35 cents an hour. They slave
from nine to fourteen hours day.
Clothing Plant Moves South.
In Norfolk there is a clothing
firm by the name of Sam Finkel-

York City because of labor trouble,
and which now employs TOO work.
ers, mostly young girls, both Negro
and white.
Their wages in this plant average
from So to c17 week. The girls
work nine hours and more a day.
These are some of the conditions
in the state of Virginia which show
that the workers down here are ripe
for real militant unions, led by the
Communist Party. In my next let

tories and shops in this state.

Theatre Guild production of
"Porgy," is the author of a play
called "The Wall Between" which
will be produced here by Jack Gold

THE Turcomen Academic Theatre
was founded in 1921. Here for
the first time women appeared on
the Turko stage, where formerly
female roles had been played only
by male actors.
The theatre finds most of its re-
pertoire among the classics, original
or in translation. This demands
high technical qualifications and
methods of decoration that are new
| for the Turko theatre. Works by
Shakespeare, Schiller, Moliere, Gogol
and contemporary playwrights such
as Lunacharsky and Maxim Gorky
have been given.
There are of course very few ori-
ginal plays. m the first place Aver
baidian drama is developing but
slowly and in the second place, it
is difficult to get the old play
wrights into new lines of thought
The chief aspirations of the AGA
demic Theatre are therefore aimed
at assisting the growth of all as
poets of Turk repertoire, answering
to the demand of the present-day,
and at finding works of modern
foreign dramatists which shall be at
once ideologically suitable and of ar
tistic value.
Among original plays should be
mentioned: "The Bride of tn e
Flames" "Shades of the Past, /"
"Idine," "Sheikh Seman," "Geyave,"
"Olilyar," and "Gadjay Kara" The
theatre aims at the cultural service
of the public and a gradual advance
from old-fashioned traditions, as
has been done by the Moscow and
Leningrad academic theatres.
The production of Hamlet" in the
oriental manner and that of Cor
ky's Lower Depths" have been so
far the most noteworthy per-
formances.
