had many a good time spending the

Fishermen who take their boats
10 to Is miles out into the Gulf OF
Mexico for shrimp get five cents a
pound for the first 400 pounds, then
three and one-half cents for every
thing else, no matter how much they
bring. They drag their nets in the
bay when the weather is too rough
for them on the Gulf, But stormy
weather keeps them ashore entirely
and deprives the packers of work
and earnings as well.
"Wet all the time" exclaimed one
of the fishermen, THAT'S what our
work is" He brought his 20-foot
gasoline-powered boat to the dock
and dived ''below" into his tiny
clubhouse to change clothes. Fish
and shrimp are kept on the hold on
great blocks of ice. These small
boats are taken by venturesome
fishermen, working two in a boat.

That's what Galveston shrimp pack
ing workers get. Most of them are
Negroes, but in other ports white
families work, including little chill
dren.
Sometimes the men work halt

packing boss said. The shrimp
catch is brought in late in the af-
ternoon and may give less than a
dollars work to the men who have
waited hours for it.
Shrimp cleaners stand at bench
tables paralleling the small boats

floor exposed to wind and rain while
they work. The sea food is sailed
and frozen, packed in cardboard
containers of eight and one-half
pound content, and shipped in re-
frigerated ships to Japan, or in re-
frigerator railroad cars to other
parts of this country.

CRAFT DISPUTES FOSTER TO TALK
OF A. F. |. TAKERS ON new METHODS
SPLIT MO. UNIONS I'm CLASS FIGHT
Bricklayers Are Used
for Half Million

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 1.-THE juris-
dictional dispute, the old trick OF
the A. F. of L. takers, developed By
them to science in order to keep
the workers of various crafts split
showed itself at its worst in the
case of the Bricklayers and the
Carpenters locals here.
As result of the labor takers
actions in this matter, the local
blicklayers union is being sued for
100000 by the lockwood Corpora
ton of st. Louis, which manufac-
lures composition material claimed
to be a substitute for brick, wood
and tile. The labor takers of the
Carpenters and the Bricklayers
union began clutching at each others
threats, in crGer to get the work.
The dispute was carried to the A.
F. of L. Building Trades Depart
ment, where the carpenters takers
got the decision.
The bricklayers' union takers then
stated they would order the members
of that union to strike every job
on which the carpenters got the
work. The lockwood Corp, then
sued the bricbklayers union, because
of work tied UP by the jurisdictional
dispute.
Members of both the carpenters
and bricklayers union here are now
seeing the depths to which the ra-
pacity of the labor takers can reach,
with the members themselves as the
victims.
"We're now seeing that militant
union for all building trades work
ers, which will leave the takers out
in the cold, and won't scrap over
! jobs and cash, is what we need
said bricklayer here.

"AnsenN" Shows Mvimclble
Revolutionary Labor at War

arsenal" now at the Film Guild
Cinema, is another fine picture from
the Soviet Union, a film that seems
to happily combine some of the pure
ly experimental features of such pic
lures as "The Man With Camera"
recently shown at the same theatre,
and the substantial discoveries in
film art, first appearing in America
through "Potemkin."
The present picture is a series of
realistic incidents of the Ukranian
bourgeois and Soviet revolutions. so
arranged as to tell a story through
symbolism. You are shown the con-
scription, trench warfare, and starv-
alton at home. Gar "Nicky" writes
in his diary how he killed a crow,
the only outstanding event for him
of day of slaughter and horror
for the workers and peasants. Of
ficers murder soldiers who have gone
crazy from the things they see.
Finally the front breaks up, and the
returning soldiers run into mob
of hysterical bourgeois, who are set
ting up Petlura's government, and
want to disarm them. There is a
hair-raising depletion of a train
wreck as the returning soldiers es-
cape the white guards, and run the
train themselves, after the engineer
loses his nerve,
The principal character, the Boil
shevist worker soldier, played by s.
Swazhenko, crawls out of the con-
fusion. He was III charge during
the smash-up, but he doesn't shoot
himself, or anything like that. He
looks sedately over the splintered
cars and remarks: "I'll learn how
to run these things yet"
This character re-appears in many
scenes, he typifies the unconquer-
able spirit of revolutionary labor.
The bourgeois and intellectuals
burn candles before Petlura's picture
and scorn the representative Of the
FBolshevik who appears at their con-
vention to demand the factories for
the workers and the land for the
peasants. But when Petlura's re-
cruiting agents call on the soldiers
who were at the front to enroll
themselves in the Free Ukraine
army, one of them gets up and asks
seriously, SIS it all right for us to
kill officers and bourgeois when re
find them on the streets?"
The picture takes it's name from
an arsenal, where the, machines are
utilized both as part of the story
and symbolical background, in a
way foreshadowed by "The End of
st. Petersburg" The workers strike
when Petlura wants shells. They
defend their arsenal by force of
arms. One Red soldier dying in an
outpost skirmish is taken home on
a gun timber, in a magnificent dash
over barren rolling country-beauti-
full scenic effects, and laid at the
feet of his family. But the arsenal
is in danger, they dash away, stop
ping only long enough to say to the
wife or mother, "Well, here he is.
There is no time for explanations.

The F.S.U. is the outgrowth OF
the Friends of Soviet Russia, which
during the dark days of counter
revolution, famine and blockade raj
lied tens of thousands Of workers
in this country to the aid of the
Soviet workers and peasants. That
this demonstration of friendship has
never been forgotten by the Russian
working class was shown in the
speech of Shestakov at the Polo
Grounds when he said:
During the entire flight over the
territory of the U. S. S. R., from
Moscow to Petropavlovsk and Kan
chatka, at every landing point we
were met by large groups of Soviet
citizens who asked us to transmit
our sincerest greetings to the toilers
in America, upon our arrival in the
United States. They asked us also
to express their gratitude to the
Friends of the Soviet Union for the
aid rendered them during the diff
cult year of famine in 1921"
Decide Not To Fly Atlantic.
Because of the grave dangers to
be faced on transatlantic flight at
this season of the year, Osoaviak-
him, the Soviet Aviation Society, has
deemed it best not to grant the four
U. S. S. R. filters of the Land of the
Soviets permission to span the ocean
and return to Moscow by air,
Semeon Shestakov, chief pilot, an
nounced yesterday.
Eve consider our flight complet-
ed,' Shestakov told the Daily Work
er. sour further plans call for a
return to Moscow within a short
time. We take this occasion to
thank again workers organizations
and individuals who have greeted us
for their warm and cordial well
come"
In the first workers republic,
where cut-throat capitalistic compe-
t..tie:i has been eliminated and the
workers and peasants are in control,
all possible precautions are taken,
and no cost is too great or delcv too
long to insure the safety of the
proletarian pilots.
The safety of air travel in the U
s. S. r. is indicated by the fact that
during the last three years, out OF
a total of 1,716,S75 miles flown with
i0,052 passengers, there were only
three injuries and four deaths due tt
accidents. Here in the U. S., the
aviation casualty list exceeds this
record in week.
The cablegram from J. S. Tn.
schiicht, Osoaviakhim vice chairman
to the filters reads as follows: "The
presidium Of the Osoaviakhim, while
greeting your readiness to fly the
Atlantic, cannot accept your pro-
posal, in view of the particularly diff.
ficult meteorological conditions pre-.
vailing at the present time of the

Such is our revolutionary life and
DEATH"
There is a scene where one Of the
intellectuals of ePtlura's government
tries to shoot Red soldier captive.
TIL, Bolshevik walks directly up to
him, refusing to be shot in the back,
and tears the gun from his hand,
The next flash shows a dead white
guard. On the contrary, one of the
white guard executioners is pictured
shooting down one unarmed man
after another, grim, and thin Tipped.
The final scene is an exaggeration
of the spirit of the whole film. The
principal character is caught by a
Petlura patrol after his machine
gun has jammed, and he has hurled
the carriages at the enemy. They
try to shoot him, and he does not
fall. They wonder if he is wearing
armor, and he tears open his shirt
showing his bare chest. He says:
"There is something here you cannot
kill" 1t is symbolical, perhaps
slightly mystical, but on the other
hand, can be given realistic inter-
pretation-it could be simply a
dramatic incident in which soldiers
of the white army, not sure they are
right, nervous, shoot to miss. Any
way they fade away, and leave the
worker standing triumphant, So it
is with the whole picture, in lesser
degree.

Worcester, Mass, Oct. 2 UP)- Sun powered automobiles and air planes are possibilities of the future. Prof. Robert H. Goddard of Clark university believes.
 He stated today that the first step toward harnessing the suns rays long dream of scientists-had been taken in the form of a solar motor for which he has procured a patent.
 Convinced Plan Sound
 His invention, he said, would con- vert the heat from the suns rays into power. Experiments in his lab oratory, he declared, had convinced him that he had discovered an inex- pensive motive power for motor ve- hiclcs and airplanes.
 Dr. Goddard described his inVen- ton as mirror of polished alumi- mum, mounted with the convex sur face upward. Above this, at the apex of four convcrging legs, is hem ispherical endpiece of clear fused quartz, which is bolted to the hollow body.
 Into this body, water is pumped, and mercury, under high pressure, is sprayed into the water. The suns heat converts the water and mercury into a vapor which passes to turbines according to Dr. Goddard.
 Approximately 50 per cent of the heat falling on the mirror was avail able for power, he said. He estimat- ed that a mirror 100 feet in uiame- ter would generate $50 horsepower.
 Sees Value to Farmers
 Dr, Goddard expressed the belief that the device would prove of im- measurable value to farmers, who would be able to operate their ma chinery by the suns energy, at least between 10 a. m. and ?. m.
 Development of his invention, he believed, might make it possible to store solar power so that it might be used when needed.
 Announcement that pr. Goddard had invented a solar motor came as a surprise since his name for years has been linked with moon rock cts" It has been consistently report cd that the Clark scientist hoped to
