ERIE COPS ATTACK
PIONEERS MEETING

ERIE, Pa, Nov. 24.-In Erie, the
town of Serio's arrest, the Young
Pioneers of America decided to organ
ize new unit. A meeting was held
indoors, in small hall. About a
hundred workers children crowded
on the outside. About 60 came into
the hall.
The meeting proceeded in the usual
fashion, when, while one of the COM
rades was explaining the need for
free lunches, Scalise, an Italian de-
tective, with an officer in uniform
came in. After listening for some
time they left and came back with
ten dicks and cops. Then they pro-
ceeded to chase the children out. The
children however refused to leave.
After a time the cops used rough
measures and swatted the children
over the head. At this some of them
left, but a little fellow of about ten
years age and Is girls refused to
leave. The troop gathered outside
and started boohing the officials. The
dicks saw that they couldn't frighten
the children so finally left in disgust.

fore the audience of Red Army men
and officers, following the showing
of "The Break Up" resolution was
adopted approving the film, both on
its theological and artistic merits
The resolution states, in part: "Th.s
director of 1.-THE Break Up" Leo
zamkovoy, gave convincing, inter-
esting, fresh and true rendition OF
the october events in the navy. The
film hos just that simplicity of state
ment which is needed in a picture
calculated on mass audiences. Ar
tistically we regard this film among
the best products of the Soviet
cinema"
The same enthusiasm was shown
by the audiences when shown else
where in the U. S. S. R. The press
continued its high praise. Some OF
the reviewers claimed that 1.-THE
Break Up" can be ranked with such
masterpieces of the Soviet cinema as
"Potemkin."

BILLION DOLLAR
BANK is FORMED
Merger in Wake of 100
Bank Snashes

NEW YORK.-In the wake of 100
bank crashes during the past week,
a gigantic bank merger is being
formed here to involve a billion dol
lars.
The banks merging are the Manu-
facturers Trust Co., the Bank of the
United States, the Public National
Bank and Trust Co. and the Inter
national Trust Co.
This makes the new merger the
fourth largest bank in New York
City. The other large finance-capi-
tai groupings are the Chase National
Bank, the National City Bank, the
Guaranty Trust Co. All of these
companies have big holdings in Latin
America and other colonies.
The crisis has caused several large
bank mergers, and as the financial
crisis worsens there is no doubt that
other finance-capital monsters will
arise.

THE BREAK Up" NEW SOVIET
FILM, WILL OPEN THIS FRIDAY

Beginning this Friday the Eighth
Street Playhouse will screen the
latest Amkino presentation, 1.-THE
Break Up" a film of the October
Revolution produced in the U. S. S.
R. by Megrabpomfilm.
The picture, when first shown at a
Workers Club at Lublino, caused
much animated discussion. The
workers liked the picture very much
and pointed out its great merit OF
simplicity and understanding to the
average film goes in the city and
the country. The message conveyed
by the Soviet film was heartily ap-
proved in a resolution adopted at the
close of the discussion. The resolu-
ton emphasized the merit of the
picture at a true portrayal of the
October Revolution and as an artis-
tic accomplishment in the field OF
Soviet cinema.

BEDACHT SPEAKS
AT FORUM SUN.
On "The Crisis of Capt.
talisn"

"The crisis of capitalism" is the
topic which will be discussed at the
opening night of the Workers School
Forum this season, on Sunday, Nov
80, at 8 p. m, at Irving Plaza Hall,
18th st. and Irving Place.
Comrade Max Bedacht, of the Cen
trail Committee of the Communist
Party, and director of the Workers
School, will analyze the extent and
nature of the economic crisis that is
shaking the whole capitalist world.
The causes of the ever deepening
crisis in the U. S. A., its relation to
the general world crisis of capital
ism, the effect of the crisis upon the
living standards of the working class,
the more and more brutal attempts
of the bosses and their labor agents
to force the burden of the crisis upon
the workers with drastic wage cuts,
speed-up, the Stagger system, and
fascist terror, and the immediate
tasks imposed by the situation upon
the revolutionary labor movement,
will be outlined in detail by Com
rade Bedacht.
Every class conscious worker should
come prepared to participate in the
discussion of this burning question
that today affects the bread and very
lives of all workers.
A number of outstanding leaders
of the Communist and revolutionary
labor movement are scheduled to
speak at subsequent Forums. The
topic for the following Sunday, Dec.
7th, will be "Disarming" for war,
with Clarence Hathaway, editor of
the Daily Worker, central organ of
the Communist Party, U. S. A., as
the speaker.

about 80 per cent this year caused the
U. T. w. to consent to the strike at
all. Every move is made after the
strike call was issued was in the ma
ture Of leading the workers to re-
treat. The U II. w. allowed no mass
picketing, and bargained with the po-
lice for a few pickets at each mill,
at a harmless distance away. 1t made
no attempt to organize a mass strike
committee, nor to prepare for long
struggle.
Today the U.T.W. is taking a secret
ballot on going back to work. The
experience of Elizabethton, Tenn,
workers with the U.TT.W. shows that
they are likely to count the votes in
secret too, and announce the strike
over wherther it is voted that way
or not.
The strike is in bad shape due to
the misleadership, but could still be
won by the strikers taking direct
charge, electing their own strike COM
mittee, presenting their own demands
and mass picketing.

tanned from its use in Montefiore
Hospital which put it into effect yes

about one hundred men doing skilled
maintenance work, painting, plaster

enty-five new men to do this same
work. These new men are to be
worked for three days a week. The
married men will get five dollars a
day and single men will get two and
a half.
Although the old force has not
been notified as yet they expect to
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1930-11-26

be informed that they will be cut to
part-time soon. These men who
now get six dollars a day are thus
having their jobs taken over by men
getting a dollar less; where they now
make thirty-six dollars week, far
less than union wages for this work,
they will soon be getting fifteen or
even as low as seven and a half per
week. This then is the famous Stag
ger System" by which Hoover and his
aides will save the country from ruin.
An effort is being made to organ
