teresting personalities Of the screen and
one of the worlds handsomest women,

her latest picture, "Evangeline." This
Is the first time that Miss Del Rio has
ever appeared before the public In
Washington. Miss Del Rio will appear
both in the picture and In person four
times daily.
"Evangeline" is an adaptation of
Longfellow's classic poem of the Aca-
dams, who were driven from their
native home and transplanted IN
strange places to begin life anew. The
men of the village are taken by the
British on the day Of Evangeline
bethrothal to one Of the youths OF the
village. In the confusion Of embarklng
for foreign ports she and her betrothed
are separated. She spends years look
ing for him and several times Is close
on his trail, but destiny seems to pre-
vent them from meeting. Finally, while
nursing the sick, she finds him an old
and broken man. She sings for him
the songs of their old days and he dies
in her arms.
The picture Is notable for its beauti-
full scenic effects, its musical score and
the singing Of Miss Del Rio and the en-
tire village.
Usual house features will augment
the showing of the picture and the per-
sonal appearance OF Miss Del Rio.

Communist Deputies
in Reichstag Score
Brutality on Jobless

BERLIN, (By MaiD 1.-THE Com
munist parliamentary fraction in the
German Reichstag once again raised
the question of police violence
against the unemployed. In Neu-
koelln the Communist member of
the Reichstag, Blenkle, was ar
rested by the police because he had
allegedly participated in disturb
ances which took place there before
the building Ct the Labor Exchange.
At the Intervention of the Com
munist Reichstags fraction Blenkle
was released after protocol had
been drawn up. Another objection
of the Communist fraction is that
their members are no longer per-
mitted to distribute admission tick
cts fer the gallery to the unem-
ployed. The social democratic Reich
stays president, Loebe, cut off the
Communists Toergler and Stoecker
without permitting them to continue
their remarks. Loebe declared that
he would maintain his measures
against unemployed demonstrations
in the gallery and that he would
permit no discussion on the subject.

system of spying and Kidding the
mills of disturbing elements" none
theless, the workers in this section
are far from being in a state OF
even slight "contentment" as the
company paper "Gary Workers
Circle" tries to picture. This paper
shows conclusively how far the steel
trust stretches its bloody hands tc
not only exploit the worker at the
base of production but also to poison
his mind.
Notwithstanding the increase in
Communist vote over that in the
previous election the election results
do not in themselves characterize
the real facts of the situation in
Gary, since most of the workers are
foreign-born who had no voice in
the election, and the large mass OF
Negro workers who did vote, were
under the direct force and super
vision of mill bosses. At the sew
eral rallies of the Negro workers
during the election campaign, the
correspondent witnessed how their
white brother bosses" with the as
sistance of Negro preachers, politely
but openly told them if they wanted
to hold their jobs they must vote
republican"
The capitalist naturalization and
unrelenting speed up together with
cheating of workers at every move
and turn is changing their attitude
from that of passive non-resistance
to a marked resentment. This is
noticeable in general without the
mills; the workers are discussing
more and more the shop conditions
and voice among themselves their
dissatisfaction over the existing con-
ditions, for even though the work
ers do not know the full portent OF
the capitalist efficiency scheme
which is in force here, they are feel
ing the effects, the consequences, the
brunt of increased production, and
in that way they are becoming con-
WINGED that the increased production
has not and will not raise their eco
nomic status, but instead has resulted
in further enslavement, exploitation
in greater misery and unemployment
Consequently the workers are in q
receptive frame of mind and present
a very favorable attitude towards
militant action.

LONDON, March 13.-The In

which the two most important fig
ures are Lord Melchett (Alfred
Mond, of the "Mond Plan") and Ben

yesterday adopted a series of class

The eleventh article on the pro-

Another article of the agreement,
the 18th, provides for the revision
of the laws on the age at which
school children can be put into child
slavery. In return, the workers are
promised an "attempt to get higher
pensions for workers over 65," more
public improvements, and easier i'm

Swiss Workers Protest
at Big Mass Meeting

BASLE, (By MaiD.-A meeting
attended by a thousand workers
protested against the prohibition by
the Swiss Federal Council of the
Red Gathering in the Canton Tes-
sin. The resolution passed by the
meeting points out that the prohibi-
ton is a provocation of the work
ers and an indirect support of fas-
cism, whose spies are given free
fand The meeting greeted the con-
vocation of the Anti-Fascist Con-
gress in Berlin, and called upon the
proletarian organizations to send
delegates to this. At the close of
the meeting a demonstration was
held before the prison in which four
anti-fascist refugees are incarcer-
ated.
The Swiss Federal Council has
already sent all public authorities
instructions for the practical pre-
vention of the Red Gathering in the
Canton Tessin. The Committee
preparing for the Red Gathering
has been refused permission to open
a postal eheque account for the col
lection of money.
The attitude of the Swiss Fed
eral Council is being criticized even
in bourgeois circles on account of
the refusal to permit the anti-fascist
professor, Salvemini, to enter
Switzerland. The bourgeois press of
Switzerland regards the agreement
between Mussolini and the vatican
on the Roman question as of the
greatest Importance for strengthen
ing fascist propaganda both in
Italy and abroad. The Catholic re-
dictionary parties, hitherto opposed
in part to fascism, will now SYM
pathize with it or at least be neu-
tralized, since the church will cease
it's opposition against the suppress
sion of German nationalism in
South Tyrol.

The workers in the rayon mills
in this country are among the most
horribly exploited slaves in Amer
lean industry.
The majority of those employed
in the rayon plants are women, the
men in the family either working
at other industries or at farming,
the combined earnings of both being
far from enough to supply the bar
est necessities of life.
The work in these plants is much
more dangerous and unhealthful
than in ordinary textile mills, since
the manufacture of artificial fibres
requires the use of powerful and
corrosive acids.
