 Russell Gleason must be dither- ing over this art racket. Russell IS playing a featured role in Uni versal's All Quiet on the Western Front The picture has reached the front stage. For fear Russell and others in the cast might re- spond to the lure of the holidays, Universal issued a flat order: No fingernails will be cleaned for three weeks" That was enough for young Gleason to isolate him so- cially. That and the beard now pushing his face. When he gets home from the studio, come night fall or midnight, he's so grimed from having rolled in the mud (at- mospheric realism) that he enters the house by way of the kitchen.

Grant is a petulant invalid. Corinne upbraids him lightly with: What you need is a good, sound breakfast"
 At this moment, Director Bill Setter turned to Author John Far agoh and remarked:
 T don't like that line, John. What do you mean by sound breakfast?"
 Whereupon Corinne pulled her quickee:: You fool, he means Vitaphone breakfast"

BOSS PRESS AND

Lovestone and Fascist
Fish in Same Box

The capitalist press yesterday
features an Associated Press dis
patch stating that the "Pravda,"
organ of the Communist Party of
the Soviet Union, publishes an
article concerning the situation of
economic crisis in the United States
and the tasks of the Communist
Party of the u. S. A.
While workers should always look
with suspicion on what the capt.
alist press gives as quotations from
any Communist paper or leader, and
should especially note that the
playing up" given the Pravda
article is deliberately aimed at
whipping up the anti-"red" hysteria
as a background for the Fish Gin
vestigation" and with it designed
to furnish propaganda against the
Communist Party and the Sov:e
Union, yet some of the quotations
are healthy refutations Of the blah-
blah of Hoover about prosperity"
The capitalist press can not deny
the 'Pravda" statement that sal
most one-third of Americas army
of 100000 proletarians are left
without employment" that Sin GER
tain branches of industry wages
have been reduced by 40 per cent"
that millions of farmers are
ruined" and that as a consequence
THE organization of counter
attack by the laboring classes
against the capitalists is one of the
leading problems of the Communist
Party"
The capitalist press, of course,
gives only what quotations suit its
class purpose, but it is true that
the Communist Party of the United
States-"must emphasize the urgent
necessities of the workers and unite
them in their revolutionary
struggle, this mobilization should
be based upon the full social insur-
ance of all workers."
1t is also true that the Commu-
mist Party of the U. S. A. must
strengthen its nuclei organization in

Representative Hamilton Fish of

the Communist Party and all mill

today that he would start sessions
of the committee in New York on

are supposed to last ten days or two
weeks, after which the committee is
to move on to Detroit, Chicago and
points west. 1t seems someone told
Fish that there were a lot of Com
munists there, too.
Fish stated that his good friend,
Matthew Vol, vice-president of the
strike-breaking National Civic Fed
Grafton and of the A. F. of L., would
tell us about how the "Reds led
strikes in the garment and shoe in

tional convention on unemploy-
ment in October were the main
results yesterday of a crowded
day of work by the first Ma
tional Convention of Unem-
ployment ever held in America.
The convention resolved that the
organization of the unemployed
was the main immediate task at
present. They are organizing for
struggle for relief and insurance to
be paid for by the government
through taxes on profits and in
heritances or out of city and state
treasures, all this insurance and
relief to be administered by the
organizations of the unemployed.
They demand and unite with the
organized workers for that pur-
pose, a seven hour day and five day
week, and no speed up to make
more unemployment.
A real program Of constant
struggle and building of the coun-
ellis of the unemployed was adopted
by the convention.
The convention met at the call of
the preliminary national confer
ence held in New York March 29,
and of the Trade Union Unity
League and the temporary national
organization of the unemployed set
up at the first national conference.
1t met the day after the jobless
delegates from out of town and
some 1900 unemployed and work
ers of Chicago had been slugged,
charged into, and broken up by the
Chicago police force when the work
ers demonstrated in Union Park.
Yesterday afternoon the creden-
tials committee reported 1920 dele
gates present at Ashland Auditor
ium, with approximately 500 others
present and not yet registered. 1t
is known that a considerable num-
Der, delayed on the way, came in
after the report was made.
The convention opened at II a. m.
with Nels Kjar, we'll known Trade
Union Unity League member of
Chicago district in the chair. A
presidium Convention committee)
of nine members was elected from
the floor to take charge of all ar
rangements. To the presidium,
amidst mighty cheers from the huge
convention, were elected as honor
airy members: William z. Foster,
Israel Amter, and Robert Minor,
members of the elected represen-
tatives of the March 6 unemploy-
ment demonstrators in New York.
These workers, with Harry Ray
mond, another member of the March
6 committee are held on three year
terms in a New York prison.

FLINT. Mich, July 6.-Wholesale
arrests by local police and state
troopers having failed entirely to
break the resistance or stop the
great mass picket demonstration Of
Flint auto workers, the Fisher Body
Co. has now tried the old familiar
tactic of having spy it placed in
the strike committee organize COM
pany union and try to split up the
ranks of the workers and lead part
of them back to the job.
Cecil Comstock, a member of the
committee who, has for some days
been mysteriously prominent in the
capitalist press as an (unauthorized)
spokesman of the strikers, has come
out into the open with the formation
of what he calls "The Auto Workers
Association. He is followed by a
few more of the large strike COM
mittee, and hopes to win over enough
of the strikers to the new organiza-
TONS program of surrender to break
the strike.
Comstock has already promised
Chief of Police Scavadra that the
men will abandon mass picketing.
His organization will betray the
strike committee and the workers
who elected it with a proposition to
go back to work on the old basis.
pretending to believe the companp's
glib promises of no wage cuts. (They
do not even promise to revoke the
wage cut already put in force,
though this is breach of the Nor.
gan outfits promise made to the
world at the time of the Hoover
business conference that there would
be no cuts at all during the crisis.)
Comstock's action has the whole
hearted support of the local Amer
lean Federation of Labor leaders and
of the Socialist Labor Party takers
here. Part of his campaign is di-
rected against the "outside leaders,"
that is, the Auto Workers Union,
which led in organizing the strikers
when they first came out, called on
them to build rank and file strike
committee to lead the strike and
whose leaders, Philip Raymond and
Bill Sroka and 26 others are still
held in Jail after they were arrested
for the mass picketing Wednesday
and Thursday last week. Comstock
tries to prejudice these workers and
encourages the authorities by a
"Red drive" of his own.
The Auto Workers Union today
issued a statement calling on the
workers to elect broader and more
representative strike committee to
mobilize in full force for mass pick

plant will try to reopen again after

own demands: recognition of the

conditions, against wage cuts, and

of S1.15 per hour and rs cents for
women, with minimum daily wage

Crane GlOQts
Over JobIess
Leaders Term

NEW YORK.-District Attorney
Crane yesterday naively exposed
what the capitalists have been try
ing to hide. He permitted himself
to do little war dance over his
success in railroading to Jail,
without trial by jury, the elected
representatives of the March 6 I'm
employment Demonstrators in New
York, and thereby indicated how
very much worried the bosses are
over the fact that the jobless are
organizing to fight for work or
wages.
Crane said in his official prose-
cutor's report for the first six
months of his administration:
"The conviction of Foster and
the other reds was basic. If man
commits murder, it is motive that
moves from himself. 1t may not
exist in the person of anybody else.
But if a man incites a crowd to
violation of the law, and for that
reason the law will be broken, he
is putting the spade right under
the roots of the tree"
