etc. We enter a big, clean kitchen
where some of the boys who on duty
today are in the process of prepar-
ing the dinner. One gets a picture
of the clean, healthy life and in
addition a real political education is
given to these boys. these are class
fighters in the same sense of the
word. Now we enter tie yard, some
one begins to play on the harmonica,
dancing begins, this is rest day so
none have any duties to perform.
Suddenly someone gets the idea that
those who spoke must get the usual
Red Army reception. This is to be
thrown up into the air First comes
the Jugo-Slave comrade. Then the
Englishman. A few seconds there
is hesitation insofar as l am con-
cerned. After all I am not a man.
But this hesitation lasses quickly
and I find myself flying in the air
and being picked up and thrown up
and down by dozens of Red Army
men. Now group alongside of is
begin to sing some real fighting
Red Army songs.
Suddenly a bell rings. Its time
for dinner. We are pulled in with
the crowd. A large clean dining
room, plenty of bread, large plates
of soup, meat and potatoes and a
glass of milk, splendid meal.
When that's over we find ourselves
again in the yard answering ques-
tons. One cannot find words with
which to express the feeling that
one lives through and one asks the
question, how can the armies of the
decaying capitalist class in any way
compare with this new power. Here
is youth, knowledge and as one Of
the Red Army boys puts it himself:
eve are the class army of the
world proletarian revolution" Now
more than ever before, the revolu-
! tionary proletariat under leadership
of our Communist Pan must clearly
show to the American working class
the danger of war before US, which
has become a reality and under tn.
banner of our party rally the Amer
lean proletariat for tire defense of
the Soviet Union, against American
imperialism and for Soviet United
States of America!"

Baseball.
The Philadelphia Athletics look
as if they are first place to stay.
Not that the other teams are not
good, but only because the Mack
men are bit better. With players
such as Simmons, Cochrane and
Foxx and another trio consisting
of Grove, Walberg and Earnshaw,
the Mackmen are quite certain to
remain in their position.
In the National League the
Brooklyn Robins, at this writing,
are hanging on to the first position
by a slim margin of two points.
Will they hold it? Well the writer
will not make any predictions since
the Chicagoans and the Giants are
too darn close behind them. In the
position that they stand now it only
taos one good game to change it.
For all the writer nows this posi-
ton may be changed when this

If you nave any money to bet,

in exposure of the imperialist pre-
parations for war and the scheme
of the bosses to again send Negro
workers to the slaughter for protec-
ton of Wall Street profits and the
defense of the very system under
which they are oppressed.
In the Negro bourgeois press for
the same week, we find the Urban
League causing another diversion
and making a bitter mockery of the
plight of the unemployed workers.
This boss-controlled organization
Justify crows at it's unprecedented
success" in Solving" the unemploy-
ment situation! And what is its
grand achievement, it's "unpre-
cedented" success? We give its own
words:
in spite of the fact that no
other workers have been hired, the
Allis-C Chalmers Tractor Company,
true to its promise, gave employ
ment to two boys with the promise
that they should learn the machin-
list trade. :"
For the Urban League, the hiring
of two workers out of hundreds of
thousands of Negro unemployed is
sufficient excuse for the spreading
of illusions of solution of tt unem-
ployment situation, of sterilization
of the tottering capitalist system.
The thousands of Negro workers
end agricultural laborers who raj
lied on August First to the demon
strations lead by the Communist
Party against imperialist war and
for the defense of the Soviet Union
gave crushing reputation to this
leadership of clowns and kings jest
ers. By constantly putting forward
its program for the Negro masses,
of full complete political equal
ity, of the right of the south
ern Negro masses to have their own
government in those sections where
they form a majority, and by mobi-
liking the white masses in full sup
port of the struggles of the Negroes,
the Communist Party can completely
crush their treacher,us, reformi
leadership and win the Negro
masses for the revolutionary strug-
gle against capitalism.

BY HELENE WOOLF.

Few workers have time to read
fiction but, when they do, they usu-
ally find themselves sickened by
saccharine super-fairy tales that
never touch their lives. And so we
cherish the few fiction classics of
the class struggle that the past has
given US.
"Pelle the Conqueror," with all
it's faults, remains an important
book and one that the militant
worker can read without disgust. 1t
has faults. Who has time to read a
1,200-page novel? There are mo-
ments of sentimentality. The issues
are not clear, because it is an epic
of the trade union movement, with
trade unionism as the panacea for
all social ills, and politically and
theoretically it is cockeyed.
Pelle is introduced to the reader
as child laborer on Danish farm.
He becomes an apprentice shoe
maker, a shoemaker, a militant
unionist, and goes to Jail on a
frame-up charge because of his
union activities. But it is not Pelle
who is the hero of this book. 1t is
not the Danish worker, the labor
movement, that dominates this more
than 1900 pages of novel land we
repeat, that it is hell of lot of
novel;. Poverty, unrelenting, in
evitable as the winters it makes
hideous, stalks through the world
mirrored by "Pelle the Conqueror"
and claims all it's inhabitants.
Here is old age fighting starva-
ton by feasting on the garbage
heaps; childhood despoiled and pros
tituted long before it reaches
adolescence. True, there are hints
of better future for the working
class, but they are usually put in
the mouths of madmen and cranks.
1t is not to this book that we must
look for a clear-cut analysis of cap
italist society.
Do not think, however, that the
novel is depressing. 1t is lively at
times and always Accordingly writ
ten. 1t is realistic and does not, as
do the works of the romantic Eu-
gene Sue, heap horror upon horror
until the agonies of the victims lose
their reality and become funny.
Well worth reading-if you have
the time.

BOXING

BOAlN0
cAMMY MANDELL, of Rockford,
y ILL.,, who ruled the lightweight
division of the pro-cauliflower
market, was speedily knocked off
his throne by the aggressive young
ster, AL Singer of Bronx, N. Y.
The show took place last week on
Thursday, in the Yankee Stadium
the arena of fixed baseball games,
and phony boxing matches. Singers
first act was to set up the color
line as additional security for his
new laurels.
With Singer wearing the light
weight crown, the boxing racket
will no doubt take on new life and
bring in more money for the pro-
moters. The workers, who usually
are in the great majority at these
professional bouts, will continue to
look for work and curse this dam
nable capitalist system. But this
is not enough. We must organize
into councils of unemployed and
organize our struggles for Work or
Wages.
Camera, the over grown clown
of the heavyweight boxing division,
is going to be deported. Not for
his radical activities, no, but be-
cause his permit to remain in this
country has expired. and the cap
italist class, due to many of his
phony fights, has decided that there
has geen enough fakery from him
and for the sake of the "game," he
should be deported.
The capitalist class of the United
States, takes good care to protect
its interests and to keep up the
illusions in the eyes of the work.
