Those Songs Again

A sympathiaar from Indianapolis being in
New York on May Day end Joining the demon
st1aton, writes that he was a bit overcome by
che excessive singing Ct the Internetionale."
Wi vas on'y slightly varied by Hold the Fort
and Solidarity which he reminds us is par
cay on The E2ttle Hymn Of the Republic"
Have TIE wo1Iers no other sohgs?" he asks
Aren't there any composers in the John Reed
Club, who could help the workers with stirring
songs of their own SO that they would not find
it necessary to rely on outworn bourgeois tunes
or to exhaust the Internationale?"
There are other songs, you bet. And if we are
not mistaken, the Y. G. L. is trying now to
gather them up and publish them But will they
be sung? That's another question whether
the John Reed Club can do it, or someone else:
the thing needed is that little heroic band of
singing teachers assault the citadel of every
workers choral organization, and persuade them
to add to their list, a number CT rousing revolu-
tonary songs and marches that may lift the

company-unio They have had ample exper-
fence with strikes of this character and they
know full well that such maneuver means
reduction in wages and slavery for the workers.
Fake Opposition"
The facts about the shop of Needleman and
Bremmer speak louder than any Of the proclama-
tons of the Lovestoneites about their desire
to fight for the interests of the workers within
the ranks of the company union. The facts
about this shop prove that the Lovestoneites
though still parading under the guise of left
wing opposition have become part and parcel
Of the treacherous, corrupt gang in control of
the company union. Through this one example
the workers in the needle trades will learn that
there is no difference between Zimmerman,
Steinzor, Pearl Halpern and the company union
officials; that all have but one aim--to help the
bosses carry through their attack on the con-
dtions Of the workers and force the yoke of
company unionism on the needle trGdas workers

Red SpoOks. Maybe!
BY JORGE

There was a big fire in Buffalo the other day
that burned up the armory and then jumped
over to consume church or so. Result big
red scare with raids and what not The Buff
falo Bulls believing" that the fire was due to
"inflammatory' leaflets put out by Commu-
nsts
On an inside page of a local paper, another
theory" just as absurd as the first was given
1t appears that the armory was the third build
ing erected on that site which has gone up in
smoke. And Buffalo grandmothers say that the
place is accurSed
The reason is: The armory, and the other
two buildings previously burned were built on
ground that used to be a cemetery. Twenty-Five
years ago it was condemned. Bodies were dup
up for blocks around by relatives who paid for
removal to other burial grounds. But thousands
remained and the sentimental objection against
building houseS-and armories-oVer the graves
was used as fat graft for Erie County politi-
clans.
The county agreed to pay SIS for everybody
dug up and reburied. But they were counted
and checked on when rebured. So the grafters
when they dug up one body, mixed in pigs bones
enough to fill three collins, and got paid for
re-burying three TT least $4,000 was known
to have been cleaned up in this business by the
contractors, in cahoots with the county officials.
No wonder the spooks got sore and went Boil
shevik! But, dear reader, this story will not
get the Pulitzer prize. If it had only been writ
ten by Knockerbocker about Soviet horrors, that
would be splendid!

Labor Spies Exposed

BY her own admissions Maria Podhayny, q
young office worker and store clerk Of UkrainisD
nationality, stands exposed as a stool pigeon for
the Trumbul Steel Co., of Warren, Ohio
She made an application in May, 1880, for
joining the Young Communist League but al
though she was at first permitted to attend unit
and committee meetings, her application was
placed under investigation, and she was never
formally admitted into the League and, there
fore, never received membership card
According to her statements, her father who
is working for the Western Reserve Lumber Co,
is also stool pigeon.
All workers and workers organizations should
be on guard against these spies

Louisiana plantations and have been an eye

Capone was pictured as "the power

the Republican nomination for
mayor swung into the final week of
Chicagos amazing primary CAM

The name of Capone rang through

each accusing the other directly or
indirectly, Of alliance with the man
whom Lyle classed as the most pow
erful gang leader of all time.
In a loop address, Lyle charged

the issue was not between himself
and Thompson, but between Capone
and the people Of Chicago.
Thompson stated in answer to
this charge, that Lyle's principal
supporter, the Chicago Tribune, had
called upon Capone personally to
settle a threatened strike Of q group
Of its employees.

When Holt returns, he finds that
patriotism is soon forgotten. He
does not get his job back. The po-
liceman does. And so Holt goes
into the gin and whisky racket.
Then the battle between the Pc
lice and the rival gangs start in
earnest. "The Last Parade" has q
logical ending. Holt as the gangster
has his last parade as he marches
to the electric chair for murder.
And this ending got the audience
when I saw the picture. I saw
many crying. Here is gang story
that is splendidly acted by Holt and
the others. 1t is real entertainment.
The vaudeville part Of the bill
stacks up in fine shape. Mills and
Bobbie is an eccentric team of
merit. Ward and Van know how to
get both melody and comedy out of
a violin and harp.
Hooper and Gatchett, two sailors
in appearance, have a comedy
WOW. They stop the show with
ease. Here is "a real act.
Baby Rose Marie is back with a
new line Of songs. She knows how
TO put over a song. Alice and
Sonny Lamont have a good wire
act. It is different.

In the Stock Market
(By Thomson 81 McKinnon)

l6V thomson q MCfAluuOQJ
NEW YORK, July Embarrassing
dividend uncertainty appeared to be
the principal factor in today's I'M
settlement. Rather heavy pressure
developed on several leading stocks
as result of anxiety over the main
tenance of present dividends.
This pressure, together with some
foreign liquidation, quickly checked
the early bulge, brought about
largely by the continuation of
Thursdays short covering move
ment.
Interest in foreign affairs was
diverted to the strenuous efforts of
the British government to balance
its new budget. Possibly this en-
barrassment led to the selling re-
ported as originating abroad, al
though the London market reflected
no particular concern.
Weakness in the commodity mar
ketS, with new lows for cotton.
wheat and new crop corn futures,
was also diScouraging factor.
While sentiment lacks that element
OF despair which was instrumental
IN depressing stocks last May. it
also lacks any worthwhile optimism
SO FAR as the present is concerned.
OF course, nothing comes nearer
the heart of an investor than divi-
dends. With talk of dividend re-
auctions becoming more insistent
and including leading industrial and
rail shares, it will be difficult to
build up investment confidence,
Moreover, it mitigates against a
sustained recovery.

RECORD LOWS
MADE AS JULY
WHEAT CRASHES
Short Covering Sends July
Corn Up d 3-8 Cents at
End of Day.
BY HAROLD E. RAINVILLE
United Press STAFF Correspondent

CHICAGO, July 31.-Last-minute
Liquidation Of July wheat sent that
month tumbling to a new record ALL
time low on the Board of Trade to-
day when it crashed cents under
Thursdays close to 48 cents a
buShel. This broke the record of
80 cents set by September just be-
fore noon.
The close was on a downswing
with very little of the loss recov-
cred. July corn reached 7215 cents
on short covering just before the
close for another substantial gain.
The deferred months weakened or
rain reports and the weakness in
wheat and December set a new low
since 1906. Oats also went into new
low ground, but rallied.
Cash Prices Steady
At the close wheat was 3 cents
lower on July and Il to q cents
lower on the deferred months; corn
was 4 to u cent lower, with July
AS cents higher, and oats swere Il
cent lower to Il cent higher. Pro-
visions were 20 to 80 points lower.
Cheap Russian offerings weakened
Liverpool and that market finished
Il to Is cents lower. Winnipeg was
weak on the rains in Canada and
the American northwest but made
a small rally early. Cash prices
were unchanged with traders busy
adjusting the basis to the Septem-
Der delivery. Receipts were GIL
cars.
July corn started slow and 4
cent lower but met good support
and ran up cents to 70 before
meeting prof1t-taking and scattered
selling that left the prices cents
higher at mid-session. Deliveries
were 681, 900 bushels early.
Rains Are Needed
There were no rains in the belt
and temperatures remain fairly high
but, while this gave the deferred
months early f1rmness, they eased
late on the prospects that the rains
in the northwest would work into
the corn belt over the weekend.
Prices were Il cent lower to u cent
higher early. Cash prices were x
to 214 cents higher. Receipts were
166 cars.
Oats suffered a dull trade but
there was sufficient selling to put
July and December at new lows for
the season. July fell q cent early
on scattered long liquidation while
the deferred months were off a
cent. Cash prices were unchanged
to Il cent lower. Receipts were 78
cars.
