copy OF this same photo for sale at
the photo agency of Underwood &
Underwood. at 242 w. 55th ST., New
York, where the Daily Worker re-
porter who inquired about it was
told: ut was taken IS or 20 years
agol"
Boishevik Tee and Snow"
Now what about the photo which
the above caption mentions at the
Left, a photo of political prisoners
working in the lumber camps amid
ice and snow" The Evening Graphic,
lying as all capitalist papers do,
would have you believe thas the Boil
sheNks, and particularly Stain,
whose epicture" is shown at the up
per right side of the story, are re-
sponsible for "ice and snoW!"
Now, workers, Russia has no mon
opoly on "ice and SNOW" and right
here in America millions Of ,jobless
workers both froze and starved. Yet
those who worked in the lumber
camps Of New England, Michigan
and Minnesota and the Northern
Rocky Mountains also worked "amid
ice and snow" But the Evening
Graphic liar says they are political
prisoners" What is the truth?
The truth is that the men shown
at work are not political prisoners"
at all! just regular lumber workers,
loading lumber at Krasnoborsk, south
of Archangel! Just workers, COM
fertably dressed in heavy everceats,
thick naittens and fur caps FURNISHED
free, by the way, to Soviet workers.,
and looking quite well-fed and
cheerful, as you might see II you
want to go to look at copy of this
Identical photo. which you will find
for sale at the Press Cliche Photo
Agency" at s45 Fifth Ave, New York!
So much for that lie!
Now, workers, look TO the right
side of the Evening Graphic pages.
See the man shown crouching in the
photo (under Stains picture, which,
by the way, has been doctored up to
make him look like burglary. I'm
der this photo of q erouehing man,
the Graphic's liar has written: AT
the heavy door crouches the thick
Tipped guard, ready to brain an
escaping prisoner!"
Pretty terrible, isn't it! Naturally
any reader would think the picture
was taken in Soviet Russia--but it
wasn't! IT never saw the Soviet
Union! 1t is only a photo taken
from movie film called Con
demned," produced by the United
Artists film company from novel
called Condemned to DEVILS Island"
written by Blair Niles. And the
"thick-lipped guard" who is sup
posed to be a terrible Belshevik, is
only the American movie actor, Rom
aid Colman. So much for that lie!
Only one photo remains to show
how terrible" are the lumber camps
OF Red Russia. Look at the picture
shewn by the Graphic at the upper
left. 1t is . picture Of Ramsey Mac
Donald, the fake socialist" and SER
want of the British King. Under
meath it. the liar Of the Graphic has
written:
PREMIER RAMSAY MacDON-
AID, labor leader, who is Investigate
ing stories of frightfulness to con-
Wet labor in Russia. He has had
submitted TO him evidence that men
are flayed rs the one in the photo
at the right"
Now, workers, look at that photo
TO "the right" A man, stripped down
to the waist, with his back covered
with the marks of lashl Evidently
chained to the bars of prisonl Ter
rible Barbarousl But where did It
happen? Which is the savage gov
ernmcnt that has beaten the back
of this man, this convict laborer, till
the blood burst through the agonized
skina
10 happened, workers, not IN tina
Soviet Union, but In capitalist Amer
