He plans to visit some eighty
populated centers in various parts
of the USSR; in each of these, Val
entey will establish close contact
with the local organizations of the
society of Friends of the Soviet
Cinema and will give to each of
these societies technical kinema con-
situations. At the same time he will
obtain from the societies informa-

tons in the selection of the material
to be filmed. This work has the
significance of an experiment,
which if successful, will be intro

SPIRITS OF YOUNG
WORKERS BROKEN
IN The u. 5. NAVY
Victim S of Diseases;
Driven By Officers
(By a Sailor Correspondent

Seeing signs in the post offices
and employment offices saying that
the U. S. Navy and Army twill
make man out of you," this caused
me 70 wlite this letter.
Many youth unemployed will be
eAtieed into these capitalist schools
of murder, and those who are or
have been in Uncle Shylock's service
will agree with me that life IN the
navy IS hell.
Serving four years in the navy,
defending the interests Of the cop
italist class, ever ready to murder
fellow workers in other lands For the
profits Of the bosses in this country,
young worker on going into the
naval services is as rule shocked
by the fact that degraded sexual
practices, such as sodomy are COM
mon in the navy, and many boy
il! treated,
Subjected to Persecution.
When this. boy goes to training
school he is taught to obey and is
subjected to the vilest form CT per-
secution, his spirit is broken. When
he goes aboard the ship, then he
receives his real schooling and de-
velopment into a navy man. With
his bag and hammock this rookie
is pounced upon and taught more;
his eyes are opened and he learns
to gamble; he is exploited by the
loan sharks on the ships and the
ships canteen, and he finds out what
o sea who're is, and is encouraged
to become sailor by those old
timers who believe being sailor
means being addicted to drugs and
contracting diseases.
Victim of Diseases.
Thus he becomes a sailor. If he
has spirit he runs away, or buys
out or fights it out, but how many
win. After year OF two of service,
eating food that the commissary
stewards buy and force on the en-
listed men, his stomach rebels. He
gets stomach trouble; being exposed
to all kinds of weather and being
forced to endure unnecessary hard,
ships, by the graduates of that cap
italist college of murder, Annapolis,
he contracts colds, tropical diseases,
etc. If he is lucky-very few are
he escapes the diseases which get
most of the men turned out by the
navy and army-syphilis, gonorrhoea
rheumatism, etc. Thus his life or
ship is one against which a dog
would rebel, his pay is small and
what he does receive is always sub
iect to being taken away from him
by his masters as fines for petty

HARD FOR DOCK
WORKERS TO Get
COMP ENSATION
Out of Luck if Hurt
On Boat
by a Worker Correspondent

by Worker Correspondent
What happens to the longshore-
man who gets hurt on the job due
to the bosses fault? Let my case
illustrate for you.
l am Italian worker, and have
been shaving on the different East
River docks for twenty-six years,
and never have been paid as much
as $28 in one week. Many weeks
] made not penny, because it is
very hard to get work on the docks.
was working on barge, unload
ing bags of coffee from the barge
to the dock. Many of the bags Of
coffee had rips in them, and coffee
beans kept slipping out, until they
covered the barge. This made it
very slippery, and what with the
sacks, you couldn't watch your step.
Several of the men kept slipping
on the coffee beans. Finally / slip
ped on them, and the first thing
after that I knew I was lying in
Bellevue Hospital, with fractured
leg. I was in that butcher shop for
six weeks, and meanwhile could not
get penny of pay, so that my wife
ard four children were nearly starv-
ing.
I figured that when I came out
I would get compensation. When
I came out, I went to the foreman,
who told me to report to the Work
ers Compensation Bureau of the
State Department of Labor on East
28th st. There I was told that as
I had been injured on board the boat,
that they could net handle the case.
but it was an admiralty case, and
thus the federal government could
handle it.
So, now that the case is in the
hands of the U. S. compensation au-
thorities, the case has dragged on for
three years without result, and
have been called to court time and
again and the case put off.
I was a member of the Interna-
tional Longshoremen's Association
at the time the accident happened,
and / went to them to see if they
could help me get compensation, but
they refused to do anything for a
member of their union. They were
only interested in getting dues and
graft.
