Five Year Plan Film
at Acme Theatre Sun.

The outcries against forced" la
Dor in the Soviet Union have been
growing louder as the success of the
Five Year Plan is acknowledged even
by its most violent enemies. But,
far from being forced to labor-as
the U. S. Tariff Commission recently
admitted was the case with workers
in over score of other countries ex-
porting goods to the United States
(tin, copper, nickel and other ores,
rubber, tea, coffee, manganese, to-
baeco, etc.)--the workers in the Sow
let Union are steadily achieving bet
ter working conditions. The seven
hour day and the five-day week are
making hours ever shorter; wages
are increasing; unemployment has
been abolished and their housing,
cultural and health facilities are in
creasing.
Working and living conditions of
Soviet workers are shown in "The
Five Year Plan: Russia's Remark
ing" an Amkino production, show
ing at the Acme Theatre on Union
Square, beginning this Sunday. The
great industrial projects under con-
struction, among them some of the
largest in the world, the new life on
the great state and collective farms,
the socialist cities springing up every
where with their communal living
and activities, the workers in the
national republics at work, play and
study-all these phases Of the life of
the workers and peasantry in Soviet
suTia may be seen on the screen.

Conference Sunday, Oct. II
Trade Union Unity Council and International
Workers Order in Appeal for Class
War Prisoners

NEW YORK. - The Trade Union
Unity Council and the International
Workers Order yesterday issued ap-
peals for the support of the mass
Mooney Harlan Scottsboro defense
conference that has been called by
the New York District of the In
ternational Labor Defense for this
Sunday, October II, at 10 am. at
Irving Plaza, 18th Street and Irving
Place. The T. U. U. G. statement,
signed by John Steuben, acting Sec
rotary, follows:
1.-THE Trade Union Unity Council
Of Greater New York, which repre-
sents the revolutionary unions and
leagues and minority groups in the
reformist unions, with a membership
Of over 10000 workers, fully supports
the conference for united action for
the freedom of Tom Mooney, the
Harlan miners, the Scottsboro boys
and all class war prisoners, called by
the International Labor Defense.
I'VE call upon the workers to reply
to the call of Tom Mooney for &C
ton that will arouse the masses to
demand the unconditional release of
all class war prisoners throughout
the country. The T. U. U. @, calls
upon the workers of New York re-
gardless of their union or political
utilization, as well as all morgan
ized workers, to undertake this strug-
gle as part of our general struggle
in this period of sharpened class
battles.

ranks of the working class, the A..
F. of L., its Music wing, and the
renegades of Communism, have con-
tinually sabotaged and blocked every
effort in the past for developing such
a campaign. We therefore greet the
steps of the International Labor De-
Tense in seriously undertaking to or
ganize a movement in this country,
as well as throughout the world, that
will be so mighty and strong that it
will force the ruling class to open
the bars and free our best fighters.
ELECT delegates to the United
Front Conference on October H."
The statement of the TWO, is
sued by N. Schaeffer, district secret
airy, declares in part:
THE International Workers Order
declares its complete solidarity with
and support of the movement to free.
Mooney and all class war prisoners
and considers this as part of our
own struggle. While Mooney, the
Harlan prisoners, the ScottSboro boys,
the five Paterson silk workers and
the other brave fighters are in jail
no worker is safe. They are the
symbols of our own struggle and
we cannot successfully protect our
selves unless we free them.
"The I. w. o. calls upon all its
branches in Greater New York to
select delegates to the October II
conference and to actively partici-
pate in this great defense move
ment"

Statement of the Chinese
Bureau, c. C., C.P.U.S.A.
On 7. H. Tsiang and His
Book RED China"

Whereas T. H. Tsiang, Chin
csc student often visits meetings
and headquarters Of the Party and
mass organizations, and whereas
there has been some misunder-
standing about his status in re-
gard to the Party, the Chinese
Bureau of the Central Committee
deem it necessary to state that
T. H. Tsiang has never been and
is not member of the Commu-
mist Party and does not belong to
any mass organization under the
leadership of the Party. His re-
cent book, entitled China Red"
does not represent what the title
is supposed to represent. 1t con-
tains nothing about the Chinese
Soviets, nothing about the Red
Army, and practically nothing
about the Chinese Communist
Party and the Chinese workers
and peasants. 1t is full of per-
sonal quarrels, family pedigrees,
petty stories and bourgeois poems.
1t here and there depicts Chin
ese woman Communist" as
person almost akin to a fanatic.
The book is yellow and black in
substance and only "red" in paint.
Party members and synnpathizers
are advised not to be attracted
and deceived by the fascinating
title of the book and the seeming
sympathy of its author.

Everything to Lose

He has everything to lose by
being on the fence, while the
ball park has little to gain as
its income from wrestling is
merely incidental to its base
ball interests.
Within earShot of our seat
last Thursday night, we heard
no end of bantering and quar-
reling over possession of seats,
people who had muscled into
the reserved section refusing to
turn it over to those who held
reserved seat stubs, the ushers
being disinterested after show
ing a customer where his seat
was located.
Not having police power, the
ushers could do little else, but
that condition was of little con-
ISOLATION to a man or woman
who had paid a nice price for
a good seat.
Too, the ball park is not in
favor of any free nights for
ladies at wrestling, despite the
fact it favors a free afternoon
at balls games for the fair sex.
On these points Turner and the
ball park authorities differ and
until they are settled neither
the indoor or outdoor addicts
know whether to make reServa-
tionS.

Seeing Joe connect SO con-
SILENTLY with his polished brown
stick, Myer, Manush, West, Kuhel,
Bluege and Spencer have taken
to it's use with excellent results.
JOe's Bat Has the Hits
For instance when the Griffs
gathered six runs in the fifth
inning of yesterdays game against
the Indians, these six men used
Cronin's bat to timely effect.
Bringing out that Joe'S bat
must have hits written all over
it in view of the teams rally in
that inning of yesterdays contest.
The Griffmen won with little
to spare, 8 to 3. And CrOnin,
to make this yarn complete
about JOe'S worth to his team,
connected for double to run
his total of hitting safely to
18 consecutive games.
Sad Sam Jones started on the
mound for the Griffs. He was
taken out of the proceedings after
the fifth when Harry Rice hit for
him. Fred Marberry finished in
great style, the game marking
Fred'S first appearance on the
mound since May 20 when he
pulled a tendon in his leg.
Willis Hudlin was the starting
Indian hurler. He got by until
that fifth inning, as mentioned be-
fore, when the Griffs settled on
his offerings for six runs. Lefty
Shoffner finished in good fashion,
but was not outstanding because
the damage had been done.
Indians Give Fight
The game was much more inter
eSting than those which have pre-
ceded here this week., The In
dians put up a dangerous fight all
the way, even though defeated,
and brought out the contention of
Manager Peck that they were to
be figured stoutly in this series.
They started off right away
in the first inning to comb
Jones for a single and double
and, although they did not
score, made it apparent that
they would later.
After the Griffs had pushed
over three runs by the ending of
the fourth, one in the first and
two in the fourth. they pecked at
Jones until they tied things up
They counted one in the second
I and two in the fifth to turn this
trick.

These are the District boys and
junior tournaments, the Women's
District Tennis League event and
the brilliant play of Washington
netmen in the Maryland State
championships.
Perhaps the chief. interest lies
in the boys and junior tourna-
ment, which is being rapidly cul-
minated at the Rock Greek
courts.
Today Hickey Willis and
Charles DAILY battled for th<
junior singles title. A bang-up
battle was predicted, as each
youngster is strong where the
other is weak.
Willis is fond of the fore-court
area, depending heavily on a SUI
perior wallop and slightly wider
mixture of shots. DAILY filters
about the baselines, but his fit
tering is coupled with a keen
eye, deliberation and disheart,
ening quantity of go-getting.

hind that fact lies three long
years of hard work and dis
appointment. Hunt was run.

Hunt trounced little Nathan

On the Fence

Turner is undecided about
where his next wrestling match
between Dick Daviscourt and
Rudy Dusek will be held q
week from tonight. Contrary
to the rumor about town that
Turner and the ball park are
split as to gate percentages
and other financial details, the
1ndecision rests on the matter
of seating and other crowd &C.
commodations.
There was a great deal Of
complaint as to seating of the
public at the Londos-Dusek
match last week, despite the
fact that Turner augmented
the regular ball park ushering
crew with II picked usherers of
his own staff at the Auditor
ium.
Meanwhile patrons who pre-
fer the ball park and those
who favor the Auditorium are
on the fence as to making
reservations. We believe it
would be a sane policy for
