His op ponent received the endorsement of the labor or ganizatons the Anti-Saloon League and other blocs that were supposed to control majority of the voters However MT. Williams was successful in the primary by overwhelming majority. He carried every County in the State. His victory was so emphatic that 1t surprised the experts, including MT Williams himself The campaign disclosed that the members of union labor refused to follow their leaders in his case The rank and file of the work ingmen voted for him.

HANDING FIELDS" FOR BIRDS.

The establishment of five bird sanctuaries and one public shooting ground in important wild-fowl areas of four Canadian Provinces within the past year indicates that Canada is fulfilling her obga- tions under the migratory-bird treaty which pro- tects birds migrating between that country and the United States, according to Paul G. Redington, Chief of the Biological Survey of the United States Department of Agriculture, who has written the Commissioner of the National Parks of Canada congratulating him upon the progress made by Canada along this most important line of con- servation."
 The United States has already set aside number of similar refuges. or landing fields for migratory waterfowl and, in accordance with the migratory bird conservation act of February l8, 1929 will purchase lands for other sanctuaries it is antici- pated when funds appropriated become available after the first of July.

A British National Theatre.
Manchester Guardian.)

In the hope that the Government might sub sidze agreed scheme for a national theatre a committee appointed some time ago to find plan The committee has published its report, which expresses the opinion that the estab lshment of a national theatre in London, to be regarded as Shakespeare memorial, is practicable, and proceeds to outline plan It is proposed tha. the theatre should be organized on the repertory system, that it should be built on a central site in London, and that the company should give performances in other towns in this country and in the Empire. Towards the fund required for the scheme the committee is prepared to contribute f0O0O0 and it is felt that with this help sufficient capital can be raised if the Government will make a grant of approximately fl0000o a year to meet interest and sinking fund charges for limited period The suggestion is made in the report that this Government grant could be taken out of the proceeds from wireless receiver licenses

Force Real Strike

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 5.-Out of
about 800 cloakmakers in Los An
geles only about $50 responded to
the general fake strike call of Bres-
low of the ]. L. G. w. u.
Piece-work is the chief concession
offered to the bosses by Breslow.
Breslow is already conspiring with
the boss open shop city administra-
ton and with the needle bosses to
force open shop conditions upon the
cloakmakers.
The great majority of the cloak
makers realize the betrayal of
Breslow, who is the instrument of
the bosses to force piece work, to
worsen the conditions of the work
ers. The N. T. w. l. u. is calling
a conference of cloakmakers Satur-
day, Sept. 9th, to expose Breslow's

REVOLT SETTLING
over zAR|TSKY
Victim Punches Agent;
Another Tries to Die

NEW Y0RK.-Revolt seethes in
the Cloth Hat, Cap and Millinery
Workers Union against the Zaritsky
gangs fragrant discrimination, over
time for members of the machine
and months of starvation for the
ordinary unemployed rank and file.
Yesterday a member of Local AZ,
blockers, made a final demand on
Zaritsky's Local az business agent,
Golden, and being given an abrupt
refusal, punched the business agent.
A policeman arrested him. He had
been 16 weeks out of work.
Shortly before, the milliners were
outraged by the driving to a suicide
attempt of a member of Local "a,
operators. This man has a family
of starving children. He was out
of work for months while Zaritsky's
favorites gobbled up all available
jobs. Being refused once more by
Business manager Spector, he tried
to swallow poison in the presence of
the manager. Other workers rushed
him away.
These individual acts of despera-
ton gain the members nothing. The
Trade Union Unity League and
Needle Trades Workers Industrial
Union call on the millinery workers
to form rank and file shop commit
tees, taking in members of all the
millinery trades in each shop,
whether cutters, blockers, trimmers,
operators or however divided in
locals by Zaritzky. They must in
cooperation with the Industrial
Union organize and strike against
wage cuts, and fight for unemploy-
ment relief and insurance.
Meetings at which speakers out
line this program are held every
Thursday in the market. After the
last one, ten unemployed operators
came as a committee from the job
less in the audience and asked for
special unemployment meeting for
millinery workers. The meeting will
be an open forum and will be held
Tuesday at Bryant Hall, at p. m.

AGENCY MEETING
Rally to Council of the
Unemployed

NEW YORK.-Over a thousand
workers attended the meeting of the
Downtown Unemployed Council
held in front of the Tammany fake
"free" unemployment agency Friday
morning. Cops made several at
tempts to smash the meeting. They
had stool-pigeons there to start
trouble, but the unemployed work
ers stood firm and the meeting con-
tinued. A large crowd was await
ing the opening of the meeting.
Just as soon as the platform arrived
they gathered around it to listen
to the speakers.
All the speakers pointed out that
the workers must unite in the fight
for the Unemployment Insurance
Bill, advocated by the Communist
Party. They stressed the fact that
the Trade Union Unity League held
demonstrations throughout the coun-
try on Sept. 1, to mobilize hundreds
of thousands for the Unemployment
Insurance Bill, and that a conference
would be held Sept. % to extend
this movement for unemployment
insurance.
Among the speakers were Ruben,
Pauline Rogers, Stone, H. Williams,
Nesin and Cypriano. After the
meeting large number of the job
less went to a meeting of the I'm

tween gangsters and crowd of 500
workers gathered to hear the speak

Beginning with the big bankers and

History of Gangsters.
The present day wealthy gang
sters and bootleggers is a direct
product of the labor struggles. The
Pinkerton Detective Agency was
nothing but an organization of pro-
fessional gunner organized for the
purpose of breaking strikes and
framing up strike leaders. That
organization was fostered by big
business who saw in it the necessary
tool to terrorize workers. Many
such agencies arose, all devoted to
the idea of furnishing the bosses
with criminals ready to attack the
workers. With the advent of pro-
hibition these criminal elements saw
an opportunity for additional
profits and they took advantage of

that opportunity without however,
giving up their original profession
of acting as sluggers for the bosses.
In every labor struggle, the
bosses turn to the professional gun
men for aid; the gangsters are the
ones who help the police to raid
Communist Party headquarters and
to beat up revolutionary workers.
They have a very important func-
ton to perform for the capitalists
and the capitalists are not going to
destroy the gangsters at time
when the workers are showing
more and more militancy and readi-
ness to struggle.
Of course, to fool the workers,
especially before an election, the
capitalist parties, the democratic,
republican and socialist parties will
make solemn promises to rid the
city of gangsterism. This is the
case now in Chicago. The Novem-
Der elections are approaching. The

insult and Zuta.
1t will not be difficult under the
circumstances for the Communist
Party candidates to show that on
the one hand gangsters like Capone
and Zuta, control the local govern
ment by sharing with the officials
the huge sums of money derived
from vice, gambling and booze and
on the other hand the bigger and
more important robbers, like Sam
uel insult and his ilk control both
the local officials and the gang
sters.
To destroy the power of the
gangsters we must destroy the
power of the capitalistic robbers.
P. S. Since this article was writ
ten the press reports that Mayor
Thompson maintains close political
relations with Zuta. For instance,
the Chicago Post of August %,
writes under the following:
Detectives today investigated re-
ports that Mayor William Hale
Thompson visited Middlesboro, KY,
home of Jack Zuta, slain vice boss,
in Zuta's company in 1927, and that
the gangster raised $4,000 cam
paigntfund contribution for Thomp-
sons election that year."
According to the story, Zuta had
entertained the Mayor at the home
of Col. Ike Ginsberg, Zuta's uncle,
in Middlesboro.

Elsensteln Film "Old and
New" at Acme Theatre Today

Collective farming"-the most
vital question now facing the Soviet
regime-is explained in the new
Amkino film masterpiece, "Old and
New" which will be presented at the
Acme Theatre for weeks run be-
ginning today.
This film was directed by S. NJ.
Eisenstein, who is known here for
his great film, "Potemkin," and was
designed to teach the Russian
masses the underlying principles of
collectivism.
The film is unique in many respects,
for instance, the leading roles in
this film were played by a tractor,
bull, cream separator; it is a
tremendous dramatization of what
is apparently an abstract subject,
but due to the skill of Einstein it
has become a pulsating, emotional
drama.
The film never becomes "high
brow" and it is told in the simplest
symbols. The director realized that
such struggle-between age-old
customs and modern mechanical de-
vices-was dramatic enough with
out the aid of an artificial story.
1t is interesting to note that the
Russian peasants have been ex-
tremely enthusiastic concerning this
film and its educational results
have been far above expectations.
On the same program the Acme
will show German production
