Morrow Said to Be a Moist
Champion

Official Washington had two thrills on April Fools
day. First cam the news from London that the Slim
son peace disarmament conference. which had been
engineered by the president, had gone on the rocks
and the end was IN sight. A second thrill was a
cabegram from London that Ambassador Dwight w.
Morrow, confidential friend Of the president and a
candidate for The United States senate from New
Jersey. would seek the nomination on a modifica-
ton platform.
Ambassador Morrow Is a delegate to the London
conference. He Is not only a confidential adviser. but
he Is the second voice Of the president. Secretary
Stimson IS the first voice. As for the vets. they
were Iubilant. AS for the drys. they were furious.
That Is. the ecclesiastical drys OF the Bishop James
Cannon following. Now were these April Fool jokes
or Just the idle c%hattering OF London correspondents
who were compelled to manufacture pabulum for
foreign consumption?
New Jersey Is ono or the wettest Of American com
~monwealths. a vet Or a dry issue III that state would
lead to the defeat OF Ambassador Morrow If he made
a bold declaration in favor Of drstic enforcement Of
The 18th amendment and the Volstead act.
Ambassador Morrow never hunts ducks with a
brass band. He feels his way and this very cautious
~. If he can win by being a mild champion of modi-
fication or a champion Of mild modification, for pale
rles and beers and light wines. he will take that road.
Morrow Is out to win and not TO be the leader Of a
1orlorn hope IN New ersey. Outstanding leaders Of
the republican party we're converted long ago to the
logic that the end iustifies the means. Morrow is an
Hdroit leader. He is not weighted down with a Thorn
rS n. Love conscience.

Mr.. VIII Hays, Imperial Kleagle Of the Magic Lam
tern, has had the motion picture producers agree
to new rules and regulations to keep moving pic
lures clean. MI. Hays and the picture moguls, wear
ing the innocent expressions of choir boys, announce
they are determined to give America pictures TO which
a child may safely take his parents.
Lust, passion, anger, assault, mayhem and murder
are all TO be toned down so even the old folks can
stand them.
One rule STIMULATES no murder shall be pictured
I'm such a way as TO inspire imitation" This calls
for an entire new technique Of moving picture muir
der. Instead OF showing killings, which could be easily
initiated. IL will be necessary for all such crimes 70
be carried out in a manner beyond the reach OF the
masses.
DISCRIMINATING the villain BY running over him In 2
horse and buggy will probably become ono Of the ac-
ceptod murder forms. Few movie fans are in any 20
sltlon to get hold Of a horse and buggy these days.
Crime for revenge j. also barred BY the new code.
Henceforth the hero may shoot the villain full OF holes
because he eats with a knife. wears squeaky shoes. ar

once tried to knife him in the back.
The matter OF murder is to be thoroughly limited
to decent bounds. The only thing left unrestricted
IS the impulse Of movie fans to rush out Of the pic
ture theaters and kill all author. director or pro-
duoer.
Another regulation adopted bars "obscenity in
word. gesture. reference. song. joke. Or by sugges-
ton" This IL going to increase unemployment ~
will throw all but a handful Of moving picture di-
rectors and comedians out OF work at once. Pro-
family is forbidden, too. if il is pointed Pointless

brutality must be treated within the limits OF

infuriated hero IN the rough and tumble fight scene
in the Fl Jacinto cafe from hitting the same SO a
week slper in the face with a chair more than once

n the war scene from being run over BY more than
three tanks per reel.
Nothing is agreed to by the directors, however. so

audiences.

union meetings well prepared, in order to at
tract workers to our movement
Meetings and Elections of Officers.
The comrades do not understand as yet how
to conduct their meetings. They still have the
old A. F. of l.. tendencies. The meetings of
the revolutionary unions must be based on a
democratic scale. Not to appoint but to elect
workers according to their ability We do not
elect G looking fcllows--we elect good ac-
tive members regardless of their race, nation
ality or color. Now comes the question how
to elect executives of the unions. An idea
often develops among comrades that the Of
ficers constitute the executive of the unions,
which is again wrong. The executive of the
union is elected from the different depart
ments of each shop or factory, from the most
active workers on the job. In town where
there are many factories of the same industry,
the executive is elected not from different
departments, but from the most active work
ers of each factory.
In instances where there are three shifts,
meetings must be held not only in the evenings
but also in the day time, SO as to give work
ers working night time to attend meetings.
The TU.U.L organizer is to make it his or her
business to send speakers to the unions, lea
CUES and groups to give the workers in the
unions basis for discussion This will help
to develop the class consciousness and under
standing of the comrades of how to build
union. Special attention must be given to the
foreign born and Negro workers. While it is
true some foreign born workers cannot speak
very good English, yet we find among them
the most active and militant workers with
much understanding of how to build the T.U.
U.L. In District 10 manifestations of foreign
chauvinism come from the members of the
Young Communist League of one shop, against
Party members of the same shop. While the
Party members build the shop nucleus and
start to build the new union members of the
Vel. are passvely fighting Party members
in the meetings of the union, because of their
language
In all of our meetings. in all of our affairs,
dances, ETC., instead of selling red flowers and
buttons, we must try to bring in the front
line our press, the Labor Unity, the biggest
weapon against the bosses. We must try to
get subs for even such short time as one
month or one week. The Labor Unity, official
organ of the T.U.U.L. must be read by every
worker.
The national office of the T.U.UL. must
print more pamphlets on the T.U.U.L. and
each and every member must make it his
her duty to sell these pamphlets on the job.
IT. the shops where we have shop nuclei it
