Airmen Off on Flight
Over Ocean to Pep Up
Swiss 'Airmindedness'

LIBSON, Aug. 20.-Two Swiss
airmen took off from Juneau Field,
near here, at a. m. Il a. m. east
ern standard time) in the plane
Young Switzerland on a projected
transatlantic flight to New York,
which aims to stir up "air conscious
ness" in the Swiss working class
and delude it into supporting Swiss
war preparations.
Weather reports indicated that the
fliers will have favorable weather
over the ocean on the greater part
of their hop, but slight depression
northwest of the Azores is expected
to give them some trouble. Other
wise the conditions are much better
than when the Polish fascist plane
Marshal Pilsudski and the French
imperialist Question Mark came to
grief in attempts to reach New York
last month.
The plane carries, in addition to
food, collapsible canoe and special
waterproof suits for use in case of
a forced landing.

100 Hours OF Work q Week
Is often NOME Actors Lot

players frequently are called upon
to work 100 hours weekly, often
working "a hours straight through
without rest, and since the advent of
color photography in conjunction
with the talkies, under conditions
where the temperature is at 40
degrees.
Extra players, working for SIS and
$3.50 a day, are paid overtime, but
due to the over-supply of extra play
ers, they merely work each other
out of future work in so doing. By
working overtime, an extra rarely
earns more than $50 a week, and
then is at liberty" for several
weeks.
A Vicious Casting System.
Through vicious casting system,
extras who have worked in picture,
but who are not needed for certain
sequences. are kept on "call' with
out pay. By this, it is meant that
these extras are not given work at
other studios by the casting bureau,
because they may be called back to
the first studio hiring them.
While many of the prominent
picture people speaking at Equity
meetings, indicate by their speeches
that they don't know what it's all
about, that it is a bitter struggle
between Labor and Capital, and who
plead for dignified strike, whatever
| that is, others have surprised stu
dents Of the class struggle with their
understanding of the powers with
which their organization is coping,
the lengths to which capital will go
in breaking Equity.
Star Denounces Scabs.
James Kirkwood, idol of millions
of film fans, scathingly denounced
the scabs within the organization
who have repudiated their fellows,
and the others who have not joined
Equity but who are also scabbing.
For years, many of these stars
have appeared in films in which they
are pictured as the friends of the
oppressed, as having given up wealth
and position to aid the under-dog or
to fight for Justice" exclaimed Kirk
wood with biting sarcasm. "If they
are wise they will take this same
stand in real life, else they may soon
be forgotten by the workers of
America who make their life of af-
fluence possible"
Kirkwood has not forgotten, nor
is he ashamed of his days when as
boy of ten he worked in Grand
Rapids furniture factory. He related
how the employers there would pay
children less than straight time for
overtime, they reasoning that the
children were too tired to do their
usual labor.

Special to the Daily Worker)

Especial to the Daily Worker.)
HOLLYWOOD, Cal. (By Mail).-
With a two-months' hard-fought
struggle behind them, and with vic
tory in sight, following the pro-
ducers abdicting to demands to meet
with Equity officials, some four
thousand motion picture players,
members of Actors Equity Associa-
ton are preparing to celebrate the
fruits Of their class consciousness.
From the time the first motion
picture studio was organized in a
Los Angeles livery stable, motion
picture players have worked under
frightful conditions. Long hours
and uncertainty as to work have
marked the lot of the rank and file
in the industry since 1910. The
change from silent to talking pic
lures has accumulated these condi-
tons.
The outstanding fact that should
be brought home to Daily Worker
readers is not that the members Of
Actors Equity Association are not
more class conscious, but that they
are class conscious at all.
The Extras-The Mob" Players
On the one hand there are en-
ployed in the motion picture business
extras or mob players who receive
$3.50 a day when they work-usually
one to three days week, and on the
ether hand there are stars receiving
upwards of several thousand dollars
weekly, under contract. III between
these two extremes are what is
known as the contract players, &C.
tors and actresses whose names APP
pear on the cast as supporting play
ers, and whose services are contract
ed for either by the picture or by the
year, fer stipends ranging from S75
up to several hundred dollars.
1t has been the examples of OBJ
scure players riser to sudden fame
and fortune as stars, more than per-
haps any other factor that has kept
the picture players unorganized this
long. They have forgotten their i'm
mediate needs for future remote pos
sibilities.
With the start Of talking pictures,
stage players were imported from
the East. They were mainly Equity
members. Equity saw in this whole
sale migration of Equity members
an opportunity to at last organize
the profession in Hollywood from
top to bottom.
Often Work "a Hours.
The Standard contract calls for
employment of contract players by
the week without mention of the
number of hours that the players
shall work. The result has been that

= l heard lot about your paper
and knowing that you stick up for
the working class l, as a soldier in
uniform and worker in heart, have
been forced into the army by the OPP
pressors of the working class.
Therefore, l would like to have the
American workers know what our

enough that soldiers in Panama are
suffering from all kinds of diseases

Nicaragua to Cypress the workers

that infantry, chemical warfare,
etc, don't know anything about sur
veying. 1t is known that the only
ones that know about surveying are
the engineers. The only purpose of
sending all these troops to Nicara-

der the impression that we are
needed there for the welfare of our
country, but we can see plainly that
we are sent there to protect the
property of Wall Street, those para

Must we be sent to other lands
as acting pirates for the capitalists,

countries? They are trying in all
kinds of ways to make US believe
that we are doing good for our coun-
try. Is this patriotism? We don't

Battle of the Jutlamds"
on Cameo Theatre Screen

II with the cooperation of the
British and German governments is
now playing at the Cameo Theatre.
1t is called Wrath of the Seas" and
is story of the outstanding sea
battle of the world war-the battle
of the Jutlands.
With one or two exceptions the
cast is all German, most of the
scenes also having been taken in
Germany. 1t is well directed and
acted and holds interests during the
entire time it is being shown. it
is silent, with the exception of sew
eral German drinking songs which
were placed in the film after it was
finished. The picture would be bet
ter off without these injections of
sound.
The story opens in Germany be-
fore the outbreak of the war. The
commander of one of the German
battleships, called the best gunner in
the German navy, is shown with
his English born wife. The COM
mander is so absorbed with his ma
val activities, that his wife must
look elsewhere for companionship.
Among those who seek her favor is
the commander of the British war
ship Invincible, an old friend of the
German naval commander and
unsuccessful sutton for the hand of
his wife.
Dick Norton, the British officer.
is visiting Keil with a group of
British warships. Norton and the
German commander pledge everlast-
ing friendship for one another when
rumors of war between Britain and
Germany are first mentioned. The
British fleet, with Norton leave Keil,
and shortly afterwards war is de-
clared. We then see the Battle of
Jutland, which brings to the screen
some of the most effective naval
war scenes ever screened. They even
equal the remarkable sea action of
Potemkin. During the course of the
battle the Invincible is sent to its
doom by the guns of the battleship
commanded by the German officer
who had pledged Norton friendship
for life. Norton, however, is picked
up by German ship and brought
wounded to German port. AS the
battle continues the British ships
take the offensive and among those
sunk is the boat with the German
commander. The German officer
goes down with his battleship. The
widow of the German commander
nurses Norton back to health and
in the closing scene agrees to re-
turn with him to England.
The titles are pro-British to an
unusually large degree while the ac-
ton of the picture shows both the
German and English sailors as
human beings. 1t is said that the
film has been shown with success
both in England and Germany. IN
doubtly for the German showing the
titles must re been worded diff
ferently. If one disregards the
foolish titles, there is not much else
in the picture that can be criticized.
1t is vastly superior to most pic
lures produced by British film in
terests and is a major improvement
over "The Wrecker" another British
film shown at the Cameo last week.
Those in the case include Nils
Asther, Henry Stuart, Bernard
Goetzke, Anges Esterhazt and Dairy
Holm.

comedy and the Pathe sounds news

'Three days." the Italian worker
said.
"All right, he's hired" said the
manager. You see, he wanted to
get newcomers to this country whom
he figured were not wise TO the way
workers are exploited in this coun-
try. and who might be afraid to
fight for their rights. The manager
turned to me and said, I'VE don't

Now you see, fellow workers, that

What does the fact that you are
