"RubicOn" A British Seaman Crosses
The Great Divide, Discovers USSR

Rubieon," is the main part Of the
story of the new Belogoskino film,
"Rubicon," now playing at the
Cameo The cast is mostly sailors
of the Soviet Merchant Marine and
workers of lumber mill in northern
Russia. With these is G. SaneiIov,
acting the part of Bill Parker, and A.
Russinoy, very convincing as the
Robert Sidney, the lumber agent of
a British firm buying from the Soviet
Union and trying to lead a little
sabotage gang so that besides get
ting most Of the lumber, his firm
can also collect the forfeit for slow
delivery.
The play contrasts the working
conditions Of the two countries
First the rotten food, cramped dirty
forecastle. and lack of amusement on
the British ship. There is a drunken
brawi when you go ashore. Bill
picks up a horseshoe, wipes up the
joint with it, and saves the horseshoe
for good luck. He scabs ON q strike
OF coal leaders in a tropical port.
Then he gets blacklisted for hitting
the skipper when they are both
drunk ashore. BY accident he gets
a chance to ship on a Soviet steam
er. Here he finds everything differ
ent, good food in clean surroundings,
shower baths, private stateroom,
books and papers. Ashore in Lenin-
grad he goes to the International
Seamen's Club, and looking over the
papers in the library and reading
room there, drags a copy of the
Daily Worker down, with a Burck
cartoon on the back of it.
The picture is full of that sort of
photography in which the Soviet
movies especially excel, that is,
scenes OF large bodies of water in all
their various moods and conditions.
The tradition of Potemkin is strong
here. One thing we would like to
have somebody over there explain.
and that Is, why do the ships clock

breaking allies of Tom Mcmahon
Bill Green and Matt Vol called
mass meeting on the same night.
Their crowd recruited from among
the most notorious seab elements in
Paterson, like Friedman, LakS a. Co.
listened to some of the most hypo-
critical, unter-revolutionaPy laud-
ations of the A. F. of L. and attacks
on the NT.W. which is in no way
different from what the police and
bosses have to say about the only
militant revolutionary union of the
textile workers.
Mr.. Gitlow declared that the Mt.
w. called the strike 1prematurely,
that the time was not ripe for a
strike, but they did not state why
he and the A. F. of L. called another
strike" several days after the Mt.
W., if they did not believe that the
time was opportune for a strike. The
answer to this question is now clear
to every worker of Paterson. Gitlow
was the main force in calling this
so-ealled strike of the A. F. of L., af-
ter the N.TW. called thousands of
workers out of the mills, in order to
break the strike, to carry out the
bosses orders to divide the ranks of
the workers and demroalize them.

c. P. CANDIDATE
IN FIGHT FOR
FOOD FOR KIDS
Calls on Paterson, NJ.
Workers to Rally
For Food Demands

PATERSON, N. j., Sept. 21-At
an election campaign banquet of the
Communist Party here, held last
night, Walter Kolowski, Communist
candidate for mayor of Paterson,
made the following statement, scer-
ing the Board of Education officials
for leaving their offices early SatIr-
day in order not to hear the demands
of the strikers and unemployed
workers children for free milk and
food in school:
The Board of Education officials
stayed away from their offices or
left early this morning, fearing that
the children of strikers and unem-
ployed workers, represented on the
delegation of Saturday morning,
would vigorously demand free milk
and at least one hot meal in school,
THE Board of Education cannot
evade the issue in this manner. 1t
will again be brought to them: The
demand of the starving children of
Paterson in order to be able to go
through day in school without any
physical hardship due to absolute
lack of food will come sharply before
them again. The Young Textile
Pioneers and the National Textile
Workers Union and the Unemployed
Council, will mobilize greater forces
and appear before the Board of Edu-
cation TO make these demands. Five
thousand workers in aPterson signed
their names to a petition demanding
free food for children of strikers and
unemployed in the schools.
1.-THE Communist Party condemns
the various candidates of the respec-
tive parties for not taking into con-
sideration the needs of these starv-
ing workers children. The Commu-
mist Party points out that these can
didates do not do this because they
are candidates for the bosses and
that free food would mean a decrease
in the profits of the bosses.
1.-THE Communist Party alone
comes forward fighting for these de-
mands OF the Young Textile Pioneers
and calls upon the workers of Pater-
son not only to vote for the worker
candidates of the Communist Party,
but to stand ready for the next call
to demand free food in school for
workers children and to sign by the
thousands the petitions demanding
this"

wage-cuts in England, wage-euts
multiply in tn eUnited States. The
current issue of the Wall Street
Journal observes with satisfaction
that the 10 per cent wage-cut in the
steel industry will "be equivalent to
about 85 cents share on the 3,7o1,-
37l shares of common stock" of the
U. S. Steel Corporation. BY this
wage-cut the owners of U. S. Steel
make $7,5Oo,0OO a year. The Wall

Anyone familiar with conditions in

conclusion that a reduction of 10 per

up, increased production, increased
profits for the bosses, less bread for
the workers. 1t is already evident
from the shops settled by the A. F.
of L. that these masked agents of
the bosses, Music, Gitlow g. Co. are
preparing to carry out further wage
cuts and to institute the six looms
in Paterson.
Against this the N. T. w. U. will
fight to the finish. The hundreds
of silk workers assembled at the
mass meeting at Turn Hall indicated
this in their enthusiastic response to
the speakers, especially to Comrade
Jack Staehel, Assistant Secretary of
the Trade Union Unity League, who
substituted for William z. Foster.
Comrade Stachel stated that the
workers see more and more clearly
this wage cutting, strike breaking
role of the U.T.W. and the masked
agents of the bosses, Music and Git
low and their recognition of the fact
that their only guarantee for sue
cessful struggle against this hunger
program is to build the N.T.W.U. in
every mill, to turn it into a powerful
mass union.
Stachei Analyses Strike
All the workers present at the
meeting showed the deepest interest
in the remarks Of Comrade Stachel
who outlined the position of the
strike, the gains made by the MT.
WI. and the new tactics applied by
the bosses in this strike in order to
break the ranks of the workers, in
order to demoralize the strike. He
dealt especially with the role of the
progressive" Music and the "revo-
lutionary" Benjamin Gitlow as the
bosses agents in the Paterson stu
alton. He thoroughly exposed the
role Of these misleaders and showed
them to be the reserve forces of the
bosses brought into play when they
saw that the U.T.W. was too thor
oughly exposed as a strike breaking
organization to be effectively used
against the workers.
Dozens of questions followed the
speech of Comrade Stachel. The
workers present showed their deter
mination to deal mercilessly with the
attempts at discrimination against
the militant workers; to build the N.
T. w. U. and continue the second
round OF the fight for the right of
the silk workers to live, for decent
conditions and against the hunger
program of the bosses and their
agents.
