business, Ian learns from returned
soldiers of the great movement
sweeping thru the Countrywide
Bolshevik revolution. He becomes a
member of the Red Guard.
In the civil war, two years later,
the village is occupied by the white
guards. Fedor leads the latter. 1t
is Praskovia who summons the Red
troops. They attack, and in the
fighting, Ian is killed, and so is
Fedor. When the Red Army leaves
the village, Praskoiya goes with
them-a Red soldier.
The direction by Alexander Striz-
hak and Dimitri Poznanski is in
spired; the photography by Vladimir
Semenov is matchless. The beauti-
full, peaceful pastoral scenes; the
shots of waving, wind-blown wheat
fields, grazing cattle, plow-drawing
horses must be seen to be appre-
ciated.
No footage is wasted in this ex-
ample of marvellous efficiency in the
art of the camera. No unnecessary
sentiment, no heroics. With the aid
of Zassarkaya's skill, expressing
her disgust with the kulak, we know
Immediately that she has been
forced to marry Fedor. A riderless
horse, and we know that Ian has
been killed in the attack by the
Reds on the whites.

GLENDALE MIL [
HEAT AND fumes
KNOCK Girls OUT
Hard Slavery in the
United Elastic
by a Worker Correspondent

10y u ~ " htf W. 60 f'OitNtSHt/
EASTHAMPTON, Mass. (By
MaiD. - Here are conditions in
few mills here. In the Glendale
mill week ago one woman in the
starch room tainted. The terrible
heat and the fumes from the starch
are enough to kill the workers in
the hot weather. The floors of this
room are always so wet that our feet
are only dry in the evening at home.
We often get sore fingers by pin
ming the web with a common pin.
Front girls only get $3.50 and back
girls SIG for this labor.
Starch room girls should organ
ize and put up demands for better
sanitation.
Braiding Room.
When the girls have gone home
in the evening, the belt fixers and
the inspectors got busy on the braid
ing machines. They speeded them
up and the next morning the girls
had to start on the run at their
work to keep up. Running 81 braid
ers for $13-$16 is no fun.
Let us join the union and put up
our demands.
Conditions in the United Elastic
Corporation are also getting worse
daily.
In Cotton division weavers are
constantly being charged, though it
be not their fault, for damaged
weaving Is cents to 50. Badly
equipped lights for night workers.
Compulsory overtime with straight
pay.
At the Glendale division we are
fined as above for damages in weav-
ing. Learners on weaving must
work 4 to 5 weeks free. Style change,
with new pay, which is smaller, is
the order of the day.
Workers of these ills must also
join their fellow workers from other
mills in the union.

and certainly the prettiest actresses
the Soviet Union boasts.
Don't let the title scare you. That
is just a dodge to get the customers
in. The picture is not the kind the
title suggests. The label Sovkino
ought to tell you that.
The action of the picture takes
place thru the periods of the world
war and the March and October re-
volutions. Praskovia, peasant girl,
is forced against her will to marry
Fedor, a vicious landowner of the
village, combination of weakling
and bully who has already driven
one wife to the grave. "Poor soul,
she's done for" whisper the peasant
women when the wedding ceremony
is completed.
The direction of Alexander Striz-
hak and Dimitri Poznanski is in
spired the photography by Vladimir
Semenor is matchless. The beauti-
full, peaceful pasrtoal scenes; the
shots of waving, wind-blown wheat
fields, grazing cattle, pillow drawing
horses must be seen to be appre-
ciatei.
Fedor is a thing of repulsion to
Praskovia from the beginning. All
the loutishness and responsiveness of
the kulak is superbly brought out
by the Soviet actor, A. Zhukov.
News of the war comes to the vii
lage, all the young men are taken
away as common fodder "5or car
and and country" and Fedor as a
formy army officer, goes too.
The departure of all the able men
of the village is stark in its sim
plicity. They march out, ragged
bunch, wives and children by their
sides.
The wheatfields wave, the last
link between the peaceful lives these
peasants have hitherto lived, and the
noisy hell of war they are going in
to.
The village is now a village de-
nuded of youth-a barrenness of old
worn out peasants and women is left
the latter must do the farm work
Soon, to alleviate the inability of
the women to carry on the work, a
detachment of Austrian soldiers,
prisoners of war, are brought to the
village, to be distributed for work
in the fields. (Karl Gurnyak), is
one Of these. He is selected by
Praskovia as her aid in the harvest
ing. He proves to be the best field
hand in the village.
In time they fall in love, and Ian
is no vicious Fedor. Hatred towards
Praskovia on the part Of the other
peasant women of the village, caused
by jealousy, takes malignant form,
In showing the women at the river
bank, doing their laundering, getting
in sly digs at Praskovia, and sur
prised by her while maligning her.
The film gives us a faithful picture
Of village life.
The war was a crushing burden to
the peasants. The Austrian pris-
oners and the returned, manned
soldiers, help to spread the virus of
discomfort.
1t is the Spring Of 1917, and Ker-
ensEy, is in the saddle. To revive
the patriotism of the village, an old
demogogue is sent to urge the pea

Peasants who are still lucky to
hold piece of land, share troopers
and tenant farmers are also on the
brink of starvation. Their tobacco
crop was either destroyed by the
twister, or they have been forced to
sell it at a price gainful only to the
huge American tobacco trust which
has now completely and decisively
forged and fettered steel ring
around the island.
This means that the Porto Rican
and loaded with mortgages and ac-
and loade dwith mortgages and ac-
cumulated interests on their land,
must sell their crop at price pre-
viously fixed by Wall Street.
The whole of our Porto Rican
working class is suffering from the
pangs of hunger. The inhunan con-
ditions forced upon these workers
cannot continue much longer. The
Porto Rican working class will not
tolerate it.
The workers of Borinquen have
militant traditions. More than once
have they closed their fist and defied
the imperialist ruling power of
America.
Naturalization is the order of the
day throughout the island, and this
means for the workers longer hours,
speed-up and less wages. But the
Porto Rican masses are not docile;
they are meeting this aggressiveness
on the part of the imperialist
plunderers inch by inch.
Rehabilitation, the result of inten-
sified naturalization, is now rampant
and ingrained in the masses, who are
showing more militancy and restive-
ness every day.
Hundreds of jobless workers and
poor farmers are daily massing
around the municipal building at
Moca, an agricultural village on the
outskirts of Mayaguez, demanding
work, food and immediate relief from
the local authorities-who are so far
unable to meet the demands.
Among the floaters carried by the
workers, some read: eve want food;
we want work" Fiery cries emanat-
ing from the vast and menacing
crowds were heard to say, Down
with the imperialist gringoes; out
with the imperialist land robbers;
viva Russia; onward toward the
social revolution"
T., Immense crowds of unemployed
workers and famished poor peasants
are daily presenting themselves in
numberless scores at the municipal
houses of Hatillo, Utuado, Camuy in
the district Of Arecibo, also an agri-
cultural region, and in the munich
pality of Lares, Aguadilla.
In the latter municipality and in
particular in Utuado, the workers
were armed with bludgeons, knives,
sticks and hatchets,

workers carried the red flag of the

 Sounding a new note in furnishing transportation quarters the North ern Pacific opened it's new ticket office and travel information bureau in Seattle last month.
 This new office, it is said by pas senger officials, is one of the finest in the United States. Every detail has been carried out on an elabor- ate scale of richness and beauty.
 Skillfully carved walnut finishing in intricate and ornate patterns has been used effectively. A great square walnut column reaching to the ceiling and lavishly decorated with carvings forms one of the fea- lures of the great room. High wal nut panels surround the office and counters.
 As the visitor steps into the door way his feet sink into deep piled carpet, the heaviest manufactured. Walnut writing desks and tables are there for the convenience of travel CTS using the office. Walnut chairs upholstered in brilliant red leather lend a pleasant contrast to the color scheme. Behind the counters are rows of desks to accomodate the of- flee staff
 Great pictures in colors, showing some of the Northwest's scenic spots adorn the walls. Large, ornamental lighting fixtures throw soft but shadowless illumination throughout the room, making individual desk lights unnecessary.
 Electrically controlled clocks pro- vide correct time and automatically turn the lights on at stated hour in the morning and off in the even ing.
