NeW owen Davis Mel0dyau1a
Is Creepy But Entertaining

A good old fashioned mystery
melodrama has arrived in town and
by none other than the reliable
Owen Davis, he of about 200 plays,
one which won the Pulitzer Prize
several seasons ago. 1t is known
as "The Ninth Guest" and is play
ing at the Eltinge Theatre. The
play is based on a story by Gwen
Bristow and Bruce Manning.
Those who like their mystery
plays strong and full of creeps will
find Davis latest opus to their lik-
ing. On the whole it is more than
an ordinary mystery thriller and
should find quite a clientele along
the Main Stem.
Plays such as this should be
judged only on their value as en-
tertainment. On this basis it can
be readily said that "The Ninth
Guest" is quite successful.
The cast assembled is surpris-
ingly capable. 1t includes Allan
Dinehart, Thaig Lawton, William
Courtleigh, Breton Churchill, Frank

all handle their respective parts in
a superior manner and add a great

DUTIES FOR ALL
IN C.P. CAMP AICN
Engdahl P Joints Out
Necessary Tasks

NEW YORK.-No worker, Ne
gro, foreign-born or unemployed, no
young worker, no child of the work
ing class is exempt from activity
in the Communist Party election
campaign, was the message carried
to the throngs in the workers camps
near New York on Saturday, Sun
da.' and Monday by J. Louis Eng
dahl, Communist candidate for Lieu
tenant Governor.
Saturday night Engdahl spoke at
Camp Unity, near Wingdale, in the
camp theatre; Sunday afternoon in
the huge auditorium of Camp Kim
derland (Children's Land) and Mon
day morning, Labor Day, in the
open air at Camp Nitgedeiget,
stressing everywhere the necessity
for immediate mobilization on an
extensive scale for the Communist
election drive.
Engdahl made a special appeal to
those revolutionary workers and
sympathizers with the Communist
Party who sometimes reject parti-
cipation in election campaigns, who
turned their backs on participation
in the parliaments of capitalism.
>"This attitude is not new" de-
clared Engdahi. "This attitude was
especially strong among revolution
aries in the years Immediately fol-
lowing the Bolshevik Revolution in
Russia"
"There must be no weakening of
the Communist Party election cam
paign by those elements that decry
participation in bourgeois parlia-
ments," declared Engdahl. "These
elements must especially be won for
this important Communist activity
Saturday, Sunday and Monday
concluded the Communist Campaign
Week in the camps during which
funds were raised, much literature
disposed of, and other activities
carried on among the increasing
number of sympathetic workers at

Workers of Kensington
Answer Police Trick
to Bar From Ballot
Election Lists Seized
Signature Coll e ctors
Arrested on Blue Law

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Sept l.
For every 100 signatures confls-
Gated by the police in Kensington,
we will go out and get 1000 more"
is the common slogan of indignant
workers and unemployed in that
city when they gather in meetings
or casually among themselves. They
are vastly indignant over the action
of the police who came to the as
sistance of the bosses efforts to
keep the Communist candidates off
the ballot. The police saw the re-
Spouse of the workers of Kensins-
ton to the arguments of the Com
munist Election Campaign Commit
tee signature gatherers. The work
ers and unemployed, gladly signed
the petitions to place the Commu-
mist candidates on the ballot. The
lesson they had learned from the
attack on the workers standard of
living, the reductions in wages, the
lengthening of hours, the doubling
OF the work was enough to convince
them.
So last week the police made an
excuse of the ancient blue laws, ar
rested numerous workers who had
BEN modified for signature gather
ing, seized the petitions which con-
tanned already about 700 names and
also stole a lot of literature, the
election campaign pamphlets, the
working Glass Against the Capt.
talist Glass;" and leaflets advertis-
ing the Unemployed Demonstration
for Sept. 1.
The workers of Kensington are
aroused. The other workers in
Philadelphia should Immediately be-
come active. If they do not i'm
mediately mobilize and effectively
go about gathering signatures the
placing of the Communist Party
candidates on the ballot in the state
of Pennsylvania is endangered.
Unemployment is rife in Kensing-
ton, the metal and textile center IF
this region. Conditions are terrible;
misery and starvation are increas-
ing, workers have been out of work
from four months to nearly two
years. Workers are taking a vital
interest in the Communist open air
and factory gate meetings, and in
the election campaign rallies held
at MACPHERSON Square and other
places in Kensington. The Commu-
mist Party is very much ION the
map" in Kensington.

nine MILLION
JOBLESS IN U. S
Boss Press Forced to
Admit Facts

NEW YORK.-More and more
information about the frightful ex-
tent of unemployment at the pres
ent time is seeping through the cap
italist press, though it is hidden, in
out of the way corners on the finan-
cial pages.
Using the Department of Labor
figures on unemployment, which it
admits are "highly unsatisfactory"
the New York Herald Tribune
states that unemployment must be
around 1908, 900, and not the $780,
900 that Hoover and his figuring
liars have tried to put over. The
Herald-Tribune analysis Of unem-
rloyment says:
IF this total of workers (48,-
s00,000) of workers has suffered
decline of 16 per cent during
the last year ard the rate of I'M
employment reported by the
United States Department of
Labor is representative, then we
may conclude that 100000 work
ers are without jobs today"
To add further to this proof of
the tremendous extent of unemploy-
ment, it is only necessary to quote
few lines from the story published
by the New York World, --onday
ON a radio speech delivered by DR..
William M. Steuert, director of the
census.
"Dr. Steuart now says" the World
dispatch from Washington states,
shat on some days the number (of
Unemployed may be 100000 or
100000"
1t should be plain to every worker
that the Daily Worker figure of
100000 unemployed, which it has
broadcasted to the workers for the
past four months, is an extremely
acurate estimate Of the unemployed
In the United States. That this
number will increase during the
coming fall and winter is not denied
by the capitalists, who again hold
out Elusive "hopes" Of the spring.
1t is necessary for all workers to
fight now for the Unemployment
Insurance Bill. They must carry
this fight into the coming elections
and elect Communists to carry this
fight right into the halls of con-
gress. Vote Communist.

NORFOLK, W. Va, Sept. l.
The recent arrest of Archie Gibbs,
organizer of the Marine Workers
Industrial Union in the port of
Norfolk, is a clear indication of the
way the christian friends" of the
Seamen's Institutes, together with
the police, endeavor to prevent the
organizing of both the Negro and
white marine workers into one
union.
Gibbs, who has been organizing
the Negro longshoremen in this
Jim-Crow city in preparation for
the Atlantic Coast Longshoremen's
Conference, was arrested and
charged with carrying a concealed
weapon, consisting of a pocket
knife. This frame-up was brought
about through the efforts of the
manager of the Seamen Bethal,
when he heard that Gibbs was ad-
vocating the organization of the
Negro and white seamen on an
equal basis.

Radekovitch was first arrested in

He was rearrested in February
1880, charged with membership in

placed against him because he

for ten minutes.
Following the decision to deport
Radekovitch, the international La

obtain permission for him to leave
for a country where his life will
not be endangered. Deportation to

of drawing more money from the
