Butcher Machado of Cuba, has

Unemployed Al Chester Meeting
Police Raid Communist Headquarters; Fear
Militancy of Negro, White Workers

The International Labor Defense is
fighting for their release.
Carter and Peltz were arrested by
Fory company police in front of the
Ford plant. The fact that Carter
is one of the Gastonia defendants
has made the bosses and the police
hatred Of him more vicious.
The raid on the Party headquar-
tiers, in which Holmes was arrested,
followed on orders by Police Chief
Vance, clearly acting on the orders
of the Ford and other open-shop
bosses.
The rapidly increasing unemploy-
ment here, accompanied by a sharp
up ward rise in the militancy of
Chester workers, Negro and white,
unemployed and employed, in con-
junction with the workers response
to the T.U.U.L. Trade Union Unity
League and the Communist Party,
has made the bosses and the police
of Chester more vicious than ever
IN their efforts to crush the militant
labor movement here.
The militant workers answer will
be the redoubling of the drive to
organize the rnorganized and the
unemployed.
The response of the Negro work.
ers to this drive has especially been
great.

RIvALRIES SHOW
ASLOND0N Meet
ON NAVY NEARS
Notes And Replies Are
Froth on Surface

AS the London Naval Conference
nears its opening next Tuesday, the
clash of opposing interests continues
undated. French hostility to grant
ing parity" to Italy-which is
based on hostility to Italy's demand
for more colonies that she feels
France should turn over--brought
about a failure of these two i'm
perialisms to reach an agreement
before the conference. And this is
now supplemented by England's
hostility toward France.
Italy looks at Frances alliance
with Jugoslavia, which has nice
little French built navy now, with
more than rancor, fearing that this
may prevent Italy from grabbing
Albania. And England, which is
disputing with France for control
of the various smaller powers on
the continent, finds it convenient
now to take a hostile attitude to-
ward French naval protestations,
Disgusting its own imperialist in
terests with sentiments of "peace"
and pious expressions of faith in
the Kellogg Pact.
The British reply to the recent
(Dec. 20) French memorandum,
thus puts forward the superficial
differences of the two greatest
European imperialist powers, and
technical questions the very techni-
cality of which, such as "global
tonnage" are designed to confuse
the masses, while the real business
of regrouping of forces, an inten-
sified preparation for war, goes on.
The American delegates, now
nearing England, have no idea of
an agreement that will "reduce"
ornaments of the U. S. On the
contrary American imperialism in
tends and has planned to build more
naval cruisers, regardless of what
occurs at the London conference.
But while hastily preparing for
war by arming, it wishes to do so
under pretense of assuring peace"
also to take the leadership in such
"peace preparations" away from the
League of Nations, against the
chief power of which it expects to
wage war.

make LARGE CUT
IN PUBLIC WORKS
Hoover Program Shot
to Pieces

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-Hoo-
ver's much-heralded public works
building program was given another
shove over the cliff by the action
of the House Appropriation Commit
tee, which reported bills providing
for only continuing existing projects.
The recommended appropriations
show a cut from last year. The last
years figure was 57,24S,370. The
amount for 1880 will be $48,7 800.
While Governor Roosevelt of New
York broadcasted in the capitalist
press that the State of New York
would spend $5OO,OO0,0O0 for public
works in 1880, the Journal of Com
merce points out that construction
work will amount to 100000, 900,
which is more than a 40 pei cent
drop from the figures issued by the
Governor for publicity purposes.
The so-called public works building
program is a complete flop. Even
Hoover's own appropriations COM
mittee cuts the usual amount rather
than increases it as promised by the
imperialist chief.

'Death Takes a Holiday"
Fantastic Play from Italian

A morbid yet fantastic play called
death Takes Holiday has ar
rived at the Ethel Barrymore The
atre. 1t is adapted from the Italian
of Alberto Casella by Walter Ferris.
AS the title of the play indicates
the action is concerned with death,
which bored with million of years
of sorrow, decides on a three-day
vacation. Taking the form of Prince
Sirki, of Vitalba Alexandra, whose
death he had been responsible for a
short time previous, he arrives at
the castle of Duke Lambert some
where in Italy.
On his appearance, death, or as he
prefers to be called, Prince Sirki,
takes the duke into his confidence
and threatens to take his life if he
tells any of the others present who
he actually is.
Death finds life much to his lik-
ing and derives great pleasure from
each new experiment.
The greatest pleasure of all, ac-
cording to death, is when he falls in
love. And falling in love, from the
point of view of death, means love
in rough, passionate manner.
Every woman at the castle is drawn
towards him, but when he bluntly
tells them who he is, they run away
in terror. Only Grazia, a slip of a
girl, when told who the prince ac-
tually is, does not run away panic
stricken.
When the three days draw to a
close death becomes afraid. He
mutters that at last he realizes why
ordinary mortals desire to cling to
life! The mystery is solved 1t is
because they are in love. And here
is death himself in love and in the
position that he must leave his
sweetheart in less than half an hour.
A solution is thought of! When
her parents object she is given the
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1930-01-14

right to choose. Does she want life
and unhappiness or death and joy?
She chooses the later when the cur
tain falls.
As the above will indicate it is a
play of despair, sign of the de-
cadance Of capitalism.
The cast, for the most part, is
well chosen. The role of death is
especially well acted, being in the
hands of that peerless artist, Philip
Merrivale. Rose Hobart is adequate
as Grazia, while others in the cast
include Wallace Erskine, James
Dale, Viva Berkett and Lenore
Sorsby. The play that will cause no
small amount of discussion, which
is correct, for it is vastly different
from the ordinary run of plays.
