Gods of the Tightening
By JORGE

Since Haywood Broun (who just abhors "dic
tatorship'D got orders from his boss to snap GU
of his drivel about chorus girls, his pet dog an,
his mighty prowess at poker, and go forth to
slay the dragon of immortality which is sud-
denly discovered within Manhattan there are
few if any columnists left to do reverence to the
drama.
So we try to fill up the gap by few remarks
about Tom Mooney and Sacco and Vanzetti
Some time we hope, a real proletarian writer
will get hold of the frame up against Mooney
and Billings and make a drama out of it that
will tear your heart loose. We beg Upton Sin
clair to lay off We want 10 more mushy Sing
ing iabirds" And we'll view with suspicion
any intellectuals who lay hands on the theme
without they offer unlimited editorial revision
to proletarianS--a la Soviet.
But play is needed about the Mooney case
We thought of this when we went to see the
Gods of the Tightening" the play about SAGE
and Vanzetti a work by Maxwell Anderson an
Harold Hickenson, now playing at the Actor
Theatre (the Old Proyincetown Playhouse) at
1873 MacDougal st, here in New York.
The acting in the main is pretty good and
until somebody with more working class slant
on the subject comes forth with better one
we have to say that the bourgeois dramatic au-
thors who wrote it did the best they could per-
haps But it is none too good. There is that
inveter' te centering of action around indivd-
uals in way to obscure the masses
The leading man. who is got up as a cross
between an A. F of L. business agent and an
l, -. w. of the pre-war type, paws the air over
much but falls below zero in the middle of 3
strike because a girl gets miffed at his taking
such risks without considering her nerves. A
silly soothsayer is brought in for no sound
reason, though his dope is shown as ineffective,
An old man is uselessly exposed as a murderer.
And an impression is given that everyone who
is against capitalism may be logically correct,
but still queer
Yet With all this weakness, the class char
acter Of the case is sharply and dramatically
presented. The capitalist class murder of Sacco
and Vanzetti is brutally thrust into ones face

rubbish the authors hung around it as dressing

California Leaders Betray Brother Members.
DAUL sCHARRENBERG is no exception to the
average A. F. of L. official. rather he typifies
the corrupt reactionary graft-ridden, treacher-
Gus. A. F. of l.. bureaucracy. The job holding
officialdom has delivered the Legitimate" trade
unions of this country to the employers and
Scharrenberg's record definitely proves this
charge.
The following pages will serve to give fairly
accurate picture Of the California labor leaders"
and will indicate in whose interests they are
working. The many instances cited in this PAM
phlet only begin to show the depth and extent
of the utter degeneracy, baseness and corruption
of the leadership of the California movement;
the full story Of the treachery and infamy of
this gang Of scoundrels would fill volumes.
A brief review of the California labor move
ment since 1910 will reveal the basic reasons
for the assistance given Fickert's frame-up crew
by the labor leaders. AS a result of The ia

United Railroads, one of the scabbiest nom
union public utility corporations In this country.
Patrick Calhoun, its president, various railway
and city officials were indicted for giving and
accepting bride Of 100000. Several United

few were found guilty But the jury that tried
Patrick Calhoun could not agree Before again
trying Calhoun, Francis j. Heney, the graft
prosecutor" had to contest an election for the
position of District Attorney. Knowing that CAL
houn would be convicted If Heney was elected,
the United Railroads decided to nominal,

M Fickert was nominated by the Union Labor

Due to an astonishing campaign by the utilities

all these men lost their positions. During the
election the 'labor leaders" were solidly against
Heney, and enthusiastically supported Fickert
through the Union Labor Party. Between the
non-union scabby Street Railways Company, the
labor leaders and Fickert there was complete
understanding. OF course, Fickert dropped the
indictment against Calhoun.

1880, the combined strength of the units of all
states was 182715. The guardsmen live at their
own homes, and hold regular jobs but are re-

and maneuvers. for at least fifteen days each
summer. They are subject to call at any hour
of the day or night and most regiments can

Union and in the southern textile strikes. 1t is
called in from another section of the state and
is used in attempting to break the strike by
prohibiting picketing, by breaking up meetings
and speeches and other terroristic measures.

of taking sneering attitude when talking to
worker members of the national guard. We
should carefully explain to them the full import

capitalist class utilzes them against their own
