powerfully enough can these meas
ures be stopped.
at is not an accident that par
ticularly at this moment when the
American government received the
pledge of William Green and other
A. T. of l.. labor takers that the
workers will not fight for better
conditions, that it feels in a strong
enough position to disregard the
protest of the masses of workers in
this country made on International
War Day and during the demonstra-
tons in connection with the seizure
of the Chinese Eastern Railway and
openly proceeds with its prepare
lions on the Soviet Union.
"The pretense of neutrality of the
United States government is a joke.
Aside from the capitalist character
of the American government and its
undying hatred for the first Work
ers' Republic, he mere fact that the
American government does not
recognize the U. S. S. R. and sub
sidizes the Chinese war lords is suf-
ficient to characterize the kind of
neutrality of our capitalist exploit
ers in this country"
The Communist Party requests
that all trade unions, fraternal
organizations, defense and relief
organizations and other bodies
friendly to the Soviet Union and
against the imperialist aims of the
jingoes in Washington and in Wall
Street to cancel all their previously
arranged meetings for this Friday
evening and join in the demonstra-
ton in Central Opera House.
Other organizations which take
measures to participate in the meet
ing are asked 70 inform the District
Office of the Communist Party, De-
partment for Agitation and Propa-
ganda Immediately. Well-known
speakers will address the gathering,
including several representatives of
the Chinese workers and peasants.
Among the speakers will be M. j..
Olgin, Robert Minor, Otto Huiswood,
James M. N. Dumping, Chairman l..
Amter.

NEEDLE WORKERS
DISCUSS DRIVE
Forum ak Deals
With Need of Struggle

All Needle Trades Workers are in
vited to the Needle Trades Workers
Industrial Union Open Forum today
at 1 p. m. in Bryant Hall, 1887
Sixth Ave, where the manager Of
the union, Borocovich, will speak on
the immediate problems facing the
workers in New York.
The New York workers through
their N. T. w. I. U. are on the eve
of an energetic organization cam
paign to win the union wage scale
and shop conditions. They will con-
duct the most militant strike action
against employers to force recogni-
ton of the union, and gain all their
demands before, during and after the
fake stoppage which the company
union in the dressmakers trade, the
international Garment Workers, pro-
poses, and is voting for at its packed
Cleveland convention.
The |. L. G. W. is supported by
the employers in their pretense at
a strike, and is party to the Dec.
II conference of employers and re-
tailers called by Governor Roosevelt,
to form a fascist, class collaboration
council to stabilize the needle trades
on a low wage and company union
basis.

They call it symbolism-it's new
in the motion picture art, not new
on the stage, and the very substance
of the cartoon. You will find the
very best example of it, true art,
true regard for form, confusion
abolished, a crystal clear story that
combines the best in realism and
makes every character living in
dividual, yet makes every character
type, standing for a whole class,
or sometimes a sub-class, in "The
New Babylon" now at the Cameo.
"The New Babylon" department
store, flourishing in Paris in 1870,
deserted by customers during the
Prussian blockade of Paris, smashed
in the street fighting of the Com
mune, is a symbol of the Second
Empire Louis Phillippe's ram
shackle hodge-podge of tinsel and
swindling, where everything is for
sale. And a symbol of capitalism,
too.
D. Gutman, acting the owner of
the store, typifies capitalism, ex-
plotting, greedy, gorging itself,
bowling first for the death of the
Prussians and then for the death of
the Communards. Elena Kuzmina,
as the sales girl in the store, resist
ing the attempted debauchery by
the owner, reaching out a friendly
hand to Jean, the peasant soldier,
played by Peter Sobolevski, fight
ing on the barricades, facing the fir
ing squad at wall wherein, never
theless, is written, Long Live the
Commune" is the radical proletariat.
And the rest of them are all
there: the head clerk of the store,
typical bosses flunkey; the graft
ing member of the parliament of the
capitalist state; the professional
man who becomes a member of the
governing body of Commune, and
talks, talks, talks, about "all the
time in the world" about perpetual
peace now" when the Communards
should have been straining every
nerve to hit the enemy while it was
weakest, to spread the revolution
throughout the country. And in
many ways the finest piece Of sym
bolising of all, Soldier Jean, the
peasant. Completely captured at
first by the manufactured war hys-
terra (you can see the wheels go
round) he soon becomes a living ex-
ponent of the peasant soldiers one
idea in defeat, 81 want to go home
to the farm" The Bolsheviki,
knowing this, were able to make al
lies of the peasants 46 years later.
The Communards were ruined by it,
for they let Soldier Jean think they
were prolonging the war.
With all of its symbolism, you can
forget the symbols if you want to-

Vivid Portrayal of

How does the Southern mill

thrown him by his exploiters
after they sweat countless prof

is he organizing, under the fight
ing leadership of the National
Textile Workers Union, for strug-

and Subway Workers after they had
caught their officials betraying the
Bronx strike.
The S.C.W.LU. is organized to
take in all workers engaged in sub
way and other construction work
laborers, engineers, truck drivers,
muckers, timbermen, blasters, drill
ers, etc.-one union for the whole
industry.
"Locals 60, 753, and the other A.
F. of L. locals, have betrayed our
strike We have positive proof that
while the strike was on men with
union cards in Locals 60, 753, and
other A. F. of L. locals, went in to
scab, and that the officials of the
lc Is sent them there" stated Pas
quale Georgia, secretary of the strike
committee, yesterday.
"These officials did not want to
see the strike won. They were
agents for the contractors, in order
to prevent a general tie-up.
after these takers deserted the
strike, the strikers took control of
their strike and are taking steps to
build up a powerful union in prep
aration for the coming struggles,
and to win their demands.
"Already 200 strikers have joined
the new union and we expect to have
over 1000 in our union before Sum
da.-.
"All the subway workers are be-
hind the new union. The fake Of
ficials of the A. r. of L. are exposed
and discredited.
"There is not single striker left
in Local SO. We will meet at Man

! Wednesday, Dec. 4, at 6 p. M, and
ask the downtown workers to join
the strike.

Cash They Want.

CLEVELAND. Ohio, Dec, 3.-The
[. L. G. w. convention opened yes
terday with a number Of state and
A. F. L. officials grazing the class
collaboration orgy. President Schles-
niger of the I.L.G.W. repeated his
fulsome praise of Governor Roose-
velt's scheme to company unionize
the industry and make real strikes
illegal,
The other characteristics of the
session were mainly the hysterical
reiteration of the manifestly false
statement that Communism is dead
in the needle trades" and that a
slush fund of 100000 must be
raised by assessments on the work
ers, and placed at the disposal OF
the officials.

BOSTON, Mass, Dec. 3.-The Su-
oerior Court has backed up the ac-
ton of the late Judge Robert F.
Raymond in railroading Harry j.
Cantor, member of the Communist
Party, to one year in prison on
charges of "libelling" Governor
Alvan T. Fuller, in carrying sign
stating that Fuller was guilty Of
the murder of Sacco and Vanzetti.
The Superior Court has handed
down a decision that "JJudge Ray
mond did not err in refusing to ac-
cept the testimony Of Cantor" at
Cantor's trial.
Cantor has now served nearly six
months of the one year sentence.
He was the Communist Party candi-
date for mayor of Boston in the
elections in November of this year,

FASCIST COUNCIL
Will Meet December 5;
A. F. of L. in It

WASHINGTON, Dec.3.-The U, S.
Chamber of Commerce, which is act
ing for Hoover, in the formation OF
the fascist economic council, today
published a partial list of the lead
ing capitalists who will take part
in the drive on the working class.
The list of labor takers has not
been issued yet But very signi-
ficant fact about the names pub
lished of the imperialists who will
take the leading role in the new
fascist state apparatus is that the
vast majority are executives of big
scab corporations.
These enemies of the working
class will meet in Washington on
December 5. The fascist economic
council will begin its work at about
the same time that Congress gets
going, but Hoover will give the
greatest portion of his time to his
new imperialst creation.
The leading daily publications of
the big capitalists are beginning to
point out that Hoover's prosperity
talk is the veriest bunk.
"The Journal of Commerce (Dec.
p actually protests against the De-
partment of Commences distortion
of figures to make the masses be
lieve that prosperity is still here.
"These unreliable statistics" says
the journal of Commerce" re-
ferring to the fake figures of the
Department of Commerce, "are inter
preted to imply increased business
activity in the face of monoton-
Gus recital of declining production
of steel, coal and petroleum. :"

Call Building Service
Trades Conference

Affiliation with the Trade Union
Unity League will be one of the
most important items on the order
of business at the mass conference
Friday night, which will launch a
new industrial union of building
service workers. The conference
will be held at o'clock at Irving
Plaza, 18th St. and Irving Pl.
A joint call for this conference
has been issued by the Window
Cleaners Protective Union, Local 8,
and the Amalgamated Building
Service Workers Industrial Union.
The call tells of the unusually low
wages and long hours of building
service workers and points out that
''this is a key industry within whose
scope are the workers employed in
power, gas and lighting plants, who,
with the exception of few, are
almost totally unorganized.
Other items on the agenda of the
conference will be the amalgama-
ton Of the two unions and plans
for organizing the industry on the
building committee basis. All build
ing service workers-engineers, SUI
perintendents, firemen, porters,
window cleaners, elevator men, floor
scrubbers, handy men, janitors-
both organized and unorganized,
are urged to elect delegates from
the buildings in which they work.
Great resentment has been
aroused among the window cleaners
by the story, published in yester-
days Daily Worker, of the attempt
! of Charles F. Wills, vice-president
of the Building Service Employees
International Union, with the aid
Of seven gangsters, to force the
members of the Chicago Window
Cleaners Union to make him car
of the union. Wills and Paul B.
David, secretary-treasurer of the
International, are thu two A. F. of L,
fat boys who split the New York
Window Cleaners Protective Pro-
tective Union, sold out their strike
and with the help of the bosses,
organized company union. These
two worthless are now reported to
be ONCE again in New York to put
the finishing touches on their be-
trayal work.
The Window Cleaners Union, in
cooperation with the Workers In
ternational Relief, is proceeding
with it's relief drive. On Friday
evening, December 10, a benefit
performance of an interesting movie
will be given in Labor Temple, 14th
st. and Second Ave, to raise relief
funds.
