Washington, May :S.-Most Amer
leans appear to be opposed to kill
ing b%ootleggers. Even when they try
to escape and are shot down there
are few to cheer the policemen and
prohibition agents who do the job.
Congressman Charles H. Brand of
Athens, Ga. is now convinced OF that.
1t was Brand who. after voting dry
all his life. in the house to
assert that the killing Of a fleeing
prohibition law violator by an officer
Of the law was actually murder.
In saying that. Brand was defying
the powerful Bishop James Cannon
Of the Methodist Episcopal church.
South. who had publicly bestowed his
benediction on dry congressman who
had a%pplauded the killing Of a sup
posed Washington bootlegeer by a
policeman and had referred to the
applause as the "healthiest sign he
had observed in a long time"
Brand Is Surprised
But Bishop Cannon has been left
almost alone. with his little group Of
cheering congressman. while nearly
everyone else who has had anything
to say about it has piled onto Brands
side.
Your correspondent found Brand,
a small. mild-mannered former su-
perior court judge. more or less
Smothered with letters and news
paper editorials endorsing the stand
he took on prohibition killings. He
had received more personal congrat-
ulations from his fellow members
than the ordinary congressman is
likely to get here in ten years OF serv-
ice.
Judge Brand is also considerably
astonished at the fact that not one
word of criticism has reached his
office. Naturally. he expected some.
He was wondering what the folks
down home would say when he re-
turned to Athens recently, now that
he had spoken so frankly. But two
clergymen stopped him OH the street
there to congratulate him. numerous
women assured him he was dead right
and all his friends agreed.
Brand concludes that most people
are willing to agree with him that
reckless and ruthless killings are too

It had been arranged between them
on Saturday afternoon. when George
Pruitt bundled up the picture which
he called simply Crystal to take it
to his father, that George was to call
for Crystal Sunday afternoon to drive
her back to Stanton. Her work on
The Press, under Harry Blaine as
city editor. was to start early Mon
day morning. a prospect which filled
her with nervous citation and fore
boding.
She slept badly that Saturday
night. for her mind was a welter Of
questions. What was Tony doing?
There had been only a brief tele-
phone conversation between the
chums, in which Tony had informed
Crystal of Mrs. Ross accident and
OF e own determination to nurse
her through the week, until the very
day before her marriage to Dick Tai
bot. How would Sandy Ross return
from New York. his presence in the
house with Tony that last week of
her life as Tony Tarver, affect the
girl who was quixotically marrying a
man she did not love? Would Tony
suddenly realize that it was Sandy
Ross she loved? And would such a
revelation be devastating enough to
force Tony into breaking off her mar
rage with Dick Talbot?
But much as Crystal loved Tony
she did not think of her during all
those Sleepless hours Of Saturday
night. 1t vas only natural that she
should think of herself and of George
Pruitt, and Of that it was not simply
vanity and over-eagerness to believe
he was going to say to her on Sum
day. He had warned her that he had
something to tell her when the pic
ture was finished. She had known
for days that his proposing to her de-
pended upon his fathers verdict as to

President Hoover's commission reports
will have a profound effect on the
situation. What we need is some
thing which public sentiment will
support. You can't blame the people
for not supporting the kind OF en-
forcement VI have now"
Brand would like to see some acid
test" OF prohibition enforcement. but
he sees no hope Of Congress provid-
ing for a national referendum. The
reason for that, although he did not
bother to explain in the interview. is
that the dry organizations oppose
such a referendum and most con-
cressmen dare not defy them, though
many wish they could get rid Of pro-
hibition as an issue.
The Georgia congressman did not
get up to shed a few tears over a pro-
hibition killing. He arose to state his
conception Of the law on killings of
men fleeing from arrest. He cited a
number of judicial decisions to prove
his general contention that 1t would
be a rape of the law and a fragrant
miscarriage Of justice to justify or
excuse an officer for killing a prol1ib-
ition violator in order to effect his
arrest except. Of course, when done
in self -defensc."
Has Always Voted Dry
Besides being now a bank president,
Brand has been concerned with the
law all his life. No one has success
fully contradicted his statement Of
the law as it applies to killing boot
leggers to prevent their escape. He
began the practice of law in 1882 and
served III the Georgia state senate in
the following decade. From 1896 to
1904, by election, he was solicitor
general in Gcorgia's western judicial
circuit. The governor appointed him
a superior court Judge in 1906, 1910
and 1914, holding 1t until he was
elected to congress in 1916.
In his first charge to a jury many
years ago. Brand dwelt on the evils
Of drunkenness and has never missed
a chance to vote dry.

by preliminary picture shows, before
the public release of films, and by
the frequent readings and discus
sions of scenarios. The picture
houses are controlled by means of
organizing the audiences themselves,
and giving frequent lectures and re-
ports to the public. In this way
the ODSK ascertains the attitude
of the audience, and enables the
acknowledgement industry to avoid re-
peating any errors that may have
been made.
Finally, the ODSK is interested in
the creation of new bodies of work
right through the industry from
the mechanics to the producers. A
body of producers and scenario
writer's is required, with knowledge
of contemporary life and experience
public demand. The work of train
ing up these latter is partly done
by correspondent kinematograph
courses, for scenario writer's, pro-
ducers, mechanics and photograph
ers.
The above remarks may serve to
give some idea of the vastness and
scope of work undertaken in the
Soviet Union by the Kinematograph,
and the large part played in this
work by the public itself.

TASTE JUSTICE
Girl Defended Herself
Against Forewoman

by q Worker Correspondent
ALLENTOWN, IA. (By MaiD -
I am a worker in the Arcadia Mill
here and a member of the Arcadia
Mill local of the National Textile
Workers Union. l will tell an in
cident, concerning my arrest here.
On Monday, July %, Mr.. Reinhardt
called the police to the mill and had
me arrested because l dared to de-
fend myself against a most out
rageous attack that Alice Mask
made on me. All the girls on the
winding floor know how this woman
treats the winders. There isn't a
girl in this part of the mill who
doesn't hate Alice worse than poison.
All she needs is whip to make her
look what she is-a slave-driver.
Alice was picking on me for a
couple of days because she thought
belonged to the Union. Now,
want to say here that until after
I was arrested I did not belong to
the Union. But Alice did not want
to believe me. On Monday she told
my was fired. That wasn't enough
for her. The dirty thing began to
insult me, and when I talked back
she attacked me with her hands.
hit her in SELF-DEFENSE, as
any self-respecting girl would have
done. I've got three bad scratches
on my neck to prove how blood
thirsty that Alice is. My sister ran
over to protect me.
Then the boss called in the police,
and l and my sister were arrested.
They couldn't hold my sister, but
l was fined $40 while Alice, who
should have been sent to Jail, wasn't
charged with anything.
The judge was 100 percent on the
side of the Arcadia Company, and
I've come to the conclusion that
THERE is NO JUSTICE FOR
WORKERS IN THE ALLENTOWN
COURT. The judge tried to tell me
that ! should not belong to the I'm
ion. He talked just as if he were a
boss of the Arcadia Mill. He also
told me to keep still about this
affair and not tell anyone. 1t seems
to me IS if the Arcadia and the
Court are afraid to let the workers
know how they treated me. You can
bet that Pm NOT going to keep
still.
The first thing l did after getting
out of the Court was to JOIN the
Union. The only way we can de-
fend ourselves from the bosses and

"In Old Siberia"
in Third w Elk
At Cameo Theatre

THERE were periods when the
Cars jailers, particularly in the
smaller Siberian prisons, relaxed
somewhat in their treatment of po-
litical prisoners. For time it be-
came q general practice not to lodge
the politicals in the same wards
with criminals. In many instances
the jailers even showed a measure
of respect for those men and women
of strong will and spiritual nobility.
But as the struggle against Czarism
became more general the reprisals
against revolutionists became more
fierce. The Central Prison Depart
ment in St. Petersburgh started a
rigorous campaign against the ST.
bertian liberties. Instructions went
forth to all the prinson wardens of
the empire to deprice political pris-
oners of. all special privileges. A
new formula was declared; There
are no politicals and no criminals;
there are only Katorga (hard labor)
prisoners"
"In Old Siberia" newest Amkino
production now in it's third week at
the Cameo Theatre, depicts this per-
iod of intensified reaction in the
prisons of old Russia. The new
warden Ostrobeylo is, as the director
of "In Old Siberia" U. J. Reiseman
puts it, "a composite of historical
and notorious jailer5."

FORD, WESTERN
ELECTRIC SLAVES
MILITANT IN N. J.
Over 1000 Daily Seel
Work There
(By a Worker CORRESPONDENT

(By Worker Correspondent
UNION CITY, N. J. (By Mail).-
I heard that there was a possibility
of getting a job at the Ford auto
plant at Kearney, N. j., and also the
nearby plant of the Western Electric
Co. Having been walking the streets
vainly looking for work I decided to
try the Ford plant.
After waiting for about an hour
man came up to us with an indif-
ferent air looking us over sharply.
He then starten to beckon to some
to step forward, selecting the most
docile and ragged, ignoring the
Negro workers, of whom there were
about fifty.
The Negroes were clad in ragged
clothing, and you could see that they
had been starving for some time.
Out of 400 to 500 men only about Is
were selected, and the rest of us
were ordered to move on.
The Ford plant in Kearney en-
ploys about 10000 workers and the
meager wages paid by the "benevo-
lent" Ford are $25 to $50 a week.
This includes night work arranged il
two weeks shift.
I then went to the Western Elec
trio, where $4,000 workers work, in
Guiding many girl workers. There I
and many others enjoyed a two hours
wait before being finally told by a
slick-haired perfumed white collar
man, "I'm sorry, but we cannot place
you" AS many as 400 men seek
jobs at the Ford and Western Elec-
trio plants every day, most of them
being turned away.
Both factories speed the workers
up at a terrific rate. Only those that
enjoy the peak of health can endure
it, and that is short-lived. Most of
the workers in the two plants are
class-conscious, hate the companies,
and are eager to join a militant
union.
