TO GIVE SOCIALISTS"
GERMAN CABINET AGAIN
TO HELP GETWAGE CUT
Social Fascist Trade Union Officials Negotiate
Wage Cut with Bosses
Admit They Need Help of Socialists" fol
Attack Against Workers Standards

have acquired a political character,
To carry out the wage-cuts, the Ger
man bourgeoisie is finding it neces-
sary to put the social-democrats
back into the government, which is
now being run by the Bruening cab
met.
A special Berlin cable to the New
York Times of June 10 puts all of
the cards on the table and illumin-
, ates the entire situation. The nego-
tiations, which are still going on
between the bosses and their trade
union agents, the cable says, aim
principally at "readjusting" the
price level Tin other words, at cut
/ ting wages).
/ Both Sides" the cable continues,
are to participate in this ''readjust-
ment"-the bosses by lowering the
price of producers goods (not goods
consumed by the workers) and by
cutting wages, and the workers by
accepting the wage-cuts and the
"hope" and "belief" that lower prices
will gradually" affect also the
goods bought by the workers.
In plain English this means that
the cost Of living may, but need not
and will not really, go down, once
the bosses get their wage-cut across
with the help of the socialist" trade
union bureaucrats. The bosses are
| given wage-cuts and the workers
are given promises" This is the
essence of the socialist" policy.
The Times then practically says
that the bosses will restore the So
cial-democrats to the government
in order to help reconcile the work
ers to the wage-cut. while these
negotiations are still in the prelim-
mary stage" it says, sit is already
evident that they are destined to
have an important bearing on the
political lineup in the Reich, and
| the circumstance that the General
Federation of Trade Unions, which
!
counts 100000 members and is pre-
ponderantly dominated by the So
cialist party, is an active participant
in them is viewed as presaging the
early return of that party to place
| in the government"
1t confirms its own statement by
quoting Gustav STOPPER, editor of
the German Economist, who Sup
ports the industrialists' thesis that
existing price levels (that is, wages)
are too high" STOPPER, the Times
points out, believes a government
under efficient social democratic
leadership could effect a truce be-
tween industry and the trade
unions" in other words, could pull
off the wage-cut most effectively.
Do we need any palmer talk? 1t
should be remembered that these are
the socialists" of whom the Ameri-
can socialist" party is part and
whom they are asking the workers
to support. For what purpose,
every worker can easily understand
from the above.

Aust0bhones' Sb0rtlve Satire
LvsistyQt0 a Treat for the WISE

Broadway had to wait until the
dim end OF the current season for
a comedy which is really a comedy
and not simply rehash of old
tricks to get laugh here and there.
And to go back to a playwright Of
Ali B. c., Aristophanes, whose
comedy, "Lysistrata," now playing
at the 44th Street Theatre, for the
best laugh provoker of the year!
Quite shocking indeed!
The Greek poet and dramatist,
Aristophanes, roamed this earth
444-380 B. c., and at the height of
his fame wrote "Lysistrata," which
was produced at the Lenaeum Thea
tire, Athens, in All B. C. The poet
was a great lampooner of the cor
rupt Senate and politicians of the
time. Many of his sharp darts of
satire and qhips, and his poetry and
plays, struck the overfed and graft
ing parasites of the time. The
hatred of these gentry was intense,
and Aristophanes on one or two oc-
casions, barely escaped the hired
gunner of these worthy people.
In Lysistrata," the poet does
not spare himself in his attack on
the eXploiters. His sharp lines Of
satire burn and bite at the corrup-
ton of the Greek warmongers. The
story will be recalled as the rebel
lion of the women of Athens, Spar
ia, Corinth and Thebes against the
twenty year war under the lead
ership of Lysistrata, who induces
the wives and sweethearts of the
war-mad males to combine and
force peace.
The actors, headed by Violet
Kemble Cooper as Lysistrata, Mir
lam Hopkins as Kalonika, Ernest
Treux as Kenesias, and Sydney
Greenstreet as the corrupt Senator,
do their utmost for their roles.
Treux is delightful comedian and
farcian and with Miss Cooper car
ries off most of the honors. Other
important roles are played by Mary

GRAHAM TRIAL
SCORED BY lid
Show Class Nature of
Court

NEW YORK, June 10.-In a
statement scoring the railroading of
Graham, a Negro worker of New
ark, the International Labor Defense
shows the class nature of the SEN
fencing court. The statement fol-
lows:
The conviction of Dozier Will Ora
ham, Negro worker, on the charge
of assaulting the police, is clear
case of railroading. 1t shows clearly
the alliance between the courts and
the capitalist class. 1t proves con-
clusively the use of the police who
lied deliberately in order to frame-up
the workers. Eight witnesses for
the defense were barred from the
witness stand because they refused
to take an oath.
The defense lawyer was not per-
mitted to ask the jurors any CUES
tons regarding whether they were
prejudiced against the defendant be-
cause he has organized the unem-
ployed. The police witnesses stated
that they took notes on the speech
that Graham made, but under cross
examination were unable to produce
their notes, though they admitted
that they took the notes with the
expressed purpose of hearing
whether anything "seditious" would
be said.
This conviction shows the real
class character of the court, which
has only one purpose, and that is
of sending militant workers to long
prison terms.
A jury has already been picked
for the next worker, Samuel D. Lee
vine, who is to be tried. The judge
will follow the same policy in this
case of not allowing the witnesses
of the defense to testify. Only the
united protest of the workinG class
will free them. The I. L. D. calls
upon the workers to rally in their
support.
The Labor Jury completely en-
dorses the statement of the Interna-
tional Labor Defense and declares
to the working class that the trial
of Dozier Will Graham was clearly
case of bosses Justice" and calls
upon the workers to protest against
this sentence.

Blair, Hortense Alban, Iona Dawn,
and Eric Dressler.
The settings, outside the gates of
the Acropilis, provided by that tai
ented Norman Bel Geddes, help in
providing plenty of space and OPP
portunity for all the fun and enter
tainment-perhaps we should say
slapstick farce-somewhat bawdy,
but amusing and satirical through
out.
The final scene, the peace cele-
bration, is short but delightful
bacchanale arranged by Doris Hum
phrey and Charles Weidman.
In closing, we would suggest to
our readers who want something
above the ordinary not to miss
Lysistrata.

The situation in Germany at the
present time is of extraordinary in
ternational significance. What is
happening in that country is indi-
Aative of the situation and trend
throughout the capitalist world. In
this respect, it bears important les
sons, especially for the workers OF
America. .-...
The economic crisis in Germany
has laid the material basis for strike
and class struggles on giant scale.
The bosses have taken advantage Of
the crisis, with the help of the So
cial-democratic trade union bureau
Gratis. to initiate a nationwide wage
cutting campaign. Press reports
during the last few days have told
about negotiations between the en-
blowers and the trade union ottl-
Gals concerning the necessity and
the means of carrying out the wage
cut.
Here is how the Journal of Com
merce describes the economic crisis
in Germany in its issue of June "
For more than two years, II
states, "a serious state of depression
has been weighing upon German
business. Indications Of improve
ment which have made themselves
evident from time to time, particu-
larly little less than year ago,
have proved illusory. The depres-
sion continues today, and there are
no symptoms as yet OF a general
revival
Unemployment is the first means
of shifting the burden of the econ
omic crisis on to the shoulders OF
the working class. The total num-
Der of unemployed in Germany has
increased within the last few weeks
from 1,70o,0 900 to 100000 officially
registered as receiving government
unemployment doles. This means
that there are actually many more
out of work, and that by winter the
number and the distress of the JOB
less workers will have increased
tremendously.
But the bosses cannot be satisfied
merely with this basic method OF
making the workers bear the actual
burden of the crisis. AS matter
of fact, the German employers are
doing exactly what the British,
American and other capitalists are
doing. They are cutting wages OF
those workers still employed.
In Germany and England, where
the Socialists" constitute big fac
tor in the maintenance of capitalist
rule, it has been necessary to Sc
cure their cooperation to pull off
wholesale wage-cuts. In Germany,
where it is planned to affect about
100000 workers and their families
at a single blow, the economic fact
of wage-cutting assumes tremendous
political and social Importance. The
negotiations between the bosses and
the trade union officials, therefore
