gulf between a reactionary, mort
bund aristocracy and a revolutionary
bourgeoisie.
That the tragedy of Beethoven
was not only the result of his deaf
ness, his thwarted love-life and the
excuses of his favorite nephew, but
lay perhaps more fundamentally. in
the fact that this democrat, this de-
spiser of lords and masters, this
passionate lover of nature and the
common mana musical Rousseau
was compelled to spend his days
in the citadel of the feudal aristo-
crazy, Vienna, dependent on the
favor of princes, seems certain.
There is, however, no hint of this in
the picture.
The "life of Beethoven" is inter
esting to the extent that even the
most perfunctory account Of the life
of so glamorous a figure is interest
ing. From the standpoint of cinema
technique it is thoroughly conven-
tional and thoroughly mediocre-a
literary, not a cinematic use of the
moving picture art.
On the same bill are two numbers

tionalized Beethoven energies out of

is Beethoven refined and sprinkled
with German tears--a flat, two
dimensional figure, minus depth or
organic evolution. While clinging
dutifully to the superficial facts of
Beethoven's life, the picture fails,
despite the sympathetic acting of
Fritz Kortner in the title role, to
bring out all those dark protean con-
flicts in Beethoven's personality that
make him the eloquently tragic
figure that he is and were trans
formed by him into music of I'M
paralleled passion and grandeur.
So much of the subjective, indi-
vidualistic side of Beethoven one
might expect even of a movie. Of
the social aspects of Beethoven's
life and work there is, of course, no
intimation. Beethoven is one of the
cultural titans of the bourgeois re-
volution. His revolt against the
graceful Journalism of his teacher,
the court musician, Haydn, and the
idyllic lyricism of Mozart, was a
cultural reflex of the revolt against
aristocratic feudalism by the middle
and lower classes of France in the
latter part of the 10th century-the
period when Beethoven grew to
manhood. No more decisive refuta-
ton of the bourgeois theory that
music, the most abstract" the
"purest" of the arts, stands "above
the battle" and has nothing to do
with social conflicts can be found
than the work of Beethoven. The
gulf between the music of Haydn
and the music of Beethoven is the

Gastonia Striker

(By a Worker Correspondent
GASTONIA, N. c. (By MaiD.-
It was on the 1st day of April 1929,
that we, the workers of Loray mill
of Gastonia, N. c. went on strike
at the mill owned by the Manville-
Jenckes Co. At first the bosses
tried to starve US back to slave or
force us to leave. But that was
when the Workers International Re-
lief came in and took hand and
began taking care of us.
When the bosses saw they couldn't
starve US out they went to using
other means. They sent commit
tee of thugs, gunner and police,
around with orders to pile all of the
strikers out on the street; they piled
our furniture out of the company
owned shacks into the street, and
some of the strikers furniture lay
out in the rain for as long as three
weeks. The darn bosses saw that
wasn't soaring any of us, so they
decided to destroy our union hall,
and their damn hired thugs came
down to the hall with axes and ham
mers and began destroying our
union hall.
1t was about 1900 o'clock that
night. There were II or IA union
boys sleeping in the hall. They
were arrested and turned over to
the National Guard for "safekeep-
ing" They were bailed out of jail
the next morning by the l. l.. d.
So after the darn thugs had fin
ished with that they went to the w.
1. R. store and knocked the front out
of the store and threw the food all
over the street while the National
Guards were within one-half block
from the scene when this took place.
So we strikers and leaders got to-
gether and decided to build up a
headquarters of our own.
| We got a lot, built our hall and
established our tent colony. Then
the bosses had all they could stand,
so they decided to run the union out
of the south regardless of what it
took to do it. So they sent their
committee of one hundred down to
our union hall to kill and smash
every thing in sight. In the struggle
the chief of police was killed and
now they have Is strikers and strike
leaders held on the framed-up
charge of murder. Say, fellow work
ers, are we going to let those work
lers die?

KINGS MOUNTAIN, N. c. (by
main.-In Kings Mountain the Ma
tional Textile Workers Union is
doing good work. We are working
to better the conditions of the
workers in the mills. The bosses
are getting very angry and using
every trick to down the mill work
ers but we hope to win and if the
members Of the union will stick we
will win.
Here in Kings Mountain the aver
age wage is $11 a week and we work
70 long hours a shift. Most work
ers have large families to support,
too.
Members of the National Textile
Workers Union in Kings Mountain,
the thing to do is to organize and
stick to the union. For the bosses
in the South are killing the workers
as fast as they can, by working
them in filthiness and long hours,
and speeding them up by the
stretchout system, There are some
mills in Kings Mountain that are
not even fit for human being to
be in. They are such mills as the
Bonnie and Cora Mills, Kings Noun
tain Mill, Pauline and Saide Mill,
the Phoenix, Dillon, Margaret, Park
Yarn Mills.
Fellow workers, we are working
for our Is brothers who are in the
CASTOR County jail, whom the
bosses and their agents are trying to
electrocute, and the eight others,
whom the bosses are trying to send
to prison for long terms. We can't
stand for this; there must be some
thing done.
What must be done is for us to
organize and help our brothers IN
castonia. We want every worker to
fight for better conditions in the
south, for it is a shame and dis
grace the way workers are treated
here in the south.
Workers. I know this for fact,
and every worker knows it that has
worked in the mills. Right here in
Kings Mountain we labor - hours a
+ day for the sum of $40 to S12 a
week. We have to work like that
or starve. Many of US have our
wives working in the mills working
like men, II hours day for the
average wages of $11 week. They
have to do this, for if the wife did
not work the husband would not
make enough to support the family.
Friends, think how the bosses are
banking their money and pressing
The poor down. And if we don't or
ganize and get members we will be
further down. Just let US fight as
long as there is any fighting to be
done, get every member for the
N.T.W. that can be found. Let's gel
together and fight for freedom for
the workers in the South.

Heron Stove Company Gets Injunction

The company has filed bill for
an injunction against the workers.
The injunction seeks to prevent the
workers from picketing any longer
in front of the Heron plant. In the
charges against the workers made
in the bill for the injunction the
company states that large numbers
of workers and their sympathizers
assemble daily about the plant and
prevent scabs from working there.
Further, the Heron Company states
that "the workers are threatening
to blow up the plant" This of course
is bull.
Crocodile tears are shed by the
company which claims that business
has suffered materially and appeals
to the court for. an injunction
against the union workers.
The court granted the Heron
Company temporary injunction
and the hearing for permanent one

Heron Stove Works of this city.
Scabs from Cleveland and Athens,

The Heron Stove Works paid the
lowest wage received by any mold

Recently the workers of this con-

request was ignored. Then the

the plant was reopened with scabs.
