Second Week of ',Seeds OF
Freedom" at the Cameo

A NEW Soviet film based on the
"A famous Leckert episode in the
history of the revolutionary move
ment in Czarist Russia is at the
Cameo Theatre, where 1T is now in
its second week. AS many another
Soviet film, "Seeds of Freedom"
combines exquisite artistry with
stirring revolutionary drama and a
grand epic sweep in portraying the
mass struggle of the recent past.
A quarter of a century ago a
iourneyman shoemaker nam d
Hirsch Leckert made an attempt
on the life of one. of the Cars
satraps, Governor Won VAIL of
Wilma. The attempt failed and Leck-
ert was summarily sentenced to die
He refused to petition the Governor
for clemency, though the latter hint
ed that he might commute the sem
tence should Leckert recant and
name his accomplices. Leckert was
hanged and buried near the place
CT the execution. The Governor or
dered a detachment of the military
to trample upon a wide area of the
field where the shoemaker was
buried, so that no trace of his grave
might be left.
Now, the name of Hirsch Leckert
is celebrated in song and legend.
His martyrdom touched the heart
strings of the workers. Ballads

still sung inwnany portions of Rus

any real support in the struggle for
liberation from wage slavery. 1t is
the Party of equality and the right

Our slogan must be class against

support your own Party, the Party

There have beer mob attacks on

they were members of the Com

Hundreds of Negro workers are
being framed up daily by raids on
their flats, in public places where
Negro workers are congregated, and
are being sent to filthy dungeons,

Only a few days ago, we wit
messed the most brozen assault by
police thugs on two Negro students
on the Fulton Street elevated, as
well as the brutal attack and MUIR
der of an East Indian taxi driver
in New York. All these attacks
surely cannot pass the eyes of the
Negro workers without showing
them the need of a militant organi-
cation, political as well as economic,
controlled by the workers, black and
white, in order to restrain the vicious
hand of the capitalist class of
America. AS a result of all these
attacks, the Communist Party,
which is championing the cause of
the oppressed Negro masses, has
been singled out by the Walker
Whalen police thugs, in their efforts
to stem the revolutionary tide of
the Negro masses from entering the
ranks of the Communist Party, and
fighting for the destruction of the
capitalist state machine.
The 32nd precinct police station
has been known for years as one
of the most vicious stations in New

especially vicious in the attack upon
Negro workers. as well as on the
Communist Party which is fighting

The struggle that is now taking
place in Harlem is eliminating in
open warfare,--on one hand the
Communist Party fighting for the
right of the Negro masses to hold
meetings and demonstrations, and
on the other hand the armed forces
of the 1eactionary state, the police.

We, the Negro workers of the

Negro masses to boycott the Fred
R. Moores, Hubert Delanys and the
entire slate of Negro and white
politicians of the Republican and
Democratic parties, as well as the
socialist party, as betrayers of the
interests of the white and Negro
masses. In this election campaign,
Negro Republican politicians are no

ARMED WORKERS
BURY ELLA MAY
Grave Between Mill
and Union Hall

working women, red-eyed from
weeping, witnessed the burial of
Ella May, their fellow worker, who
in one red moment became the sign
manual of their revolt. Merciless
as the Manville-Jenckes machines
and just as efficient in their deadly
purpose, gunner of the mill owners
sought and took the life of the
woman worker whose example urged
others on. Nine dollars was the
sum slipped into Ella Mays pay en-
velope every week. The powder
and lead of the volley that took her
life cost more than this. These
things her mourners knew.
They knew of the five children
she tried to feed and clothe on nine
dollars a week. They knew the
song she sung. They sang it-they
sang it with understanding and the
cold and quiet determination that
marks off the southern born mill
worker from more demonstrative
immigrant workers of the North.
AS they sang there crept into the
heart of every listener the feeling
that Ella May will not go I'M
avenged.
Such simple song but so full
Of meaning the mill mothers song:
eve leave our home in the morning,
We kiss our children boodbye,
While we slave for the bosses,
Our children scream and cry.
And when we draw our money,
Our grocery bills to pay,
Not cent to spend for clothing.
Not cent to lay away;
And on that very evening our little
son will say,
I need some shoes, dear mother,
And so does sister May
How it grieves the heart Of the
mother,
You every one must know,
But we cannot buy for our children,
Our wages are too low.
Now listen to me workers,
Both you women and men,
Let us win for them the victory,
! am sure it will be no SIM"
Then Dewey Martin spoke, the
local organizer of the N. T. w. U.
Born of the mountain blood, slim
and straight, marked for death by
the Manville-Jenckes thugs. Then
Cliff Saylor, kidnapped on the night
Of Sept. 8 by the black hundreds
of Manville-Jenckes. Then Yves
Williams, chairman of the Bessemer
City local of the National Textile
Workers Union, for whom the Loray
Mill gunner have been hunting for
days. Hugo Oehler, Southern or
ganizer of the N. T. w. u, was
there, the workers greeted him like
a man already dead. They wondered,
and they said they wondered that
he was still alive.
A cold gray rain swept down all
morning Thru the damp fog, the
gunmen's cars surged and roared,
and so her fellow workers buried
Ella May. Not far from her grave
is the shattered hall of the Besse-
mer City local of the N. T. w. U.
In crude letters the name Of the
union stands out. All who pass on
the highway mus. see it. In be-
tween this and tie glittering Loray
Mills is the grave of Ella May.

Much is expected of the youngsters

Washington club. A small fortune has
been spent for this raw material-but
sparkling records III minor leagues are
not always guarantee OF success under

uncertainty attaching to the new play

rather difficult to justify. 1t is to some
of these new players, therefore, that

Although it is true that the Nationals
