DAGGER AND JEWELS: The Gorgeous Adj
ventures of Benvenuto Cellini; A Romantic
Novel. BY William Dana circuit author of
''The Moth etc. New York: Dodd Mead
& Co.
Novelist, book collector, author of books on
collecting, traveller and almost every other what
not of joy in life. Once journeying in Italy he
settled there for period in order to collect
Benvenuto Cellini in his own proper setting Of
italian scene and legend and atmosphere Not
so difficult task, in general since Cellini SO
copiously and splendidly collected himself for
the use and delight of those to come after him
But, in particular, Mr. CIRCUITS plan differed
markedly from the self-glorifyng orgy of the
"Cellini Autobiography" Rather has his de-
sign been to set out in body and spirit the
Italy Of that period and within it to discover
this genius who is at the same time adventurer
IN love, in factional strife, in personal quarrel
and encounter with some show Of occasion or
none at all to start troubles of spreading exc
citment and danger.
With an age and hero SO close of kin to
his own picturesque seizure of life, Mr.. circuit
has produced an absorbing novel whose human
content is as engrossing in its behaviors as its
historic pageant Of war and art Is authentic,
as the natural and stored beauty of Italy it
self is reproduced in deep appreciation and In
splendid portraiture.

Is There Established Leadership
in the Unemployed Councils?

trict TUUL office, Comrades from the center
must be sent to these smaller cities and indus
trial centerS from time to time for lengthy con-
ferenceS and meetings with the councils and
branches. With more attention to the develop
ment of leadership among the unemployed VIC
can develop new forces, some of which must be
sent to the smaller industrial centers, where in
numerous instances, due to the closing down of
single industries, whole sections of workers and
families are actually starving, and dying.
Now that We are to step forward to uncover
and bring into the light of day the thousands of
actual cases of starvation among the families of
the unemployed, are to make direct demands for
relief for these cases from the city government
and large capitalists, are to undertake by initia-
tive of the unemployed councils and branches
the collection of food from merchants, workers
organizations etc, and give aid to starving FAM,
lilies to the extent possible strong and capable
leadership must be established and developed
in every council and branch. The closest con-
tact must be maintained with our unemployed
organizations wherever this phase of our work
is entered into Otherwise the reducing of this
activity to a pure charity measure will be
growing danger.
The social faSciStS and reformStS are renew
ing and increasing their activities to win unem-
ployed workers for their fake program. The So
cialSt party has decided to organize unemployed
councils. The RILU calls our attention to this
when, in referring to our insufficient efforts in
exposing the social-fascistS before the workers,
it states: "The revolutionary trade union move
ment can not very well boast of the fact that
it does everything possible to take the lead of
the movement of the unemployed and to mob
ilize these workers for the united class front of
the proletariat for waging the struggle against
the triple alliance of the employers the bour-
geois state and socal-fascism, against the whole
capitalist class breeding unemployment" d. .
THE social-fascists and fascists are now trying
to come out as defenders of the unemployed
taking some steps to organize them, to break the
struggle of the unemployed" IF our work
continues to remain weak they are liable to win
over the movement of the unemployed and direct
it along incorrect channels" THE organ
ization of the unemployed. mobilizing them for
the revolutionary trade union movement, set
ting up the united front of the workers en-
ployed and unemployed under the leadership
of the revolutionary trade union organizations
these are some of the most important tasks"
Consolidation of our forces indignation of our
unemployed councils and branches; elevation of
our organizational forms; development of lead
ership among the unemployed workers. minute
attention to organizational details; steady, sus-
tanned struggles FOR food for starving families
is demanded. Down with sloppy methods!

Bv ALFRED WAGENKNECHT.

THE repeated attempts made by the national
l office of the Trade Union Unity League to
get record of all unemployed councils and
branches throughout the country, has brought to
light an impermissble situation. In certain in
stances TUUI district secretaries did not know
how MANY organizations of unemployed workers
existed in the district, did not know the ad-
dresses of the secretaries Of the unemployed
councils or branches, did not know what MEM
bership they contained In a few instances the
district TUUL secretary did not even know how
many councils and branches had been organized
in his headquarters city, nor the location of
these organizations.
Unemployed councils are affiliated with the
TUUL. If the district TUUL secretary does not
know where councils and branches have been or
ganized how can they be affiliated? What
TUUL leadership do they get? How can direc-
tiyes. plans of work, methods of struggle reach
them? What check-up is possible against left"
tendencies and opportunism?
This situation must be corrected Immediately.
Every unemployed council in the district must
look to the district office of the TUUL for lead
ershp and assistance. The district TUUL sec
rotary and local TUULI secretaries must attend
meetings of unemployed councils and branches,
become acquainted with the points of view of
the unemployed workers, study first-hand the
methods of conducting these meetings, ascertain
why, although upon the basis of certain tasks
and struggles the membership is increasing, in
many instances it is decreasing and constantly
changing note this as lesson for the movement
generally
Every unemployed council and branch must
have an able secretary and organizer and capa-
bic executive committee. Forces must be as
signed to those councils and branches consist
ing Of new workers, just recruited. TUUL forces
actively functioning in our unemployed organ
izations, will help bring about in a greater
measure the unity of struggles of the employed
and unemployed. But most sharply must be
raised the question of developing leading forces
from amongst the unemployed themselves, of
training broad cadreS Of unemployed workers to
take hold of and function in all the daily tasks
and struggles This has been sorely neglected.
Instead we have discouraged the initiative they
have shown, and because they were mot fully
developed" we have said in instances that they
were mot yet to be trusted" This is actually
criminal attitude upon the basis of which we
will never build organization and movement
Especial attention must be given to the I'M
employed councils and branches in the smaller
cities in the districts Here TUUL leadership is
often very weak and insufficient and therefore
more thorough direction is needed from the dis

Comrades:
In regard to my application for membership
in the Party, wish to state few words. Al
though since 1 applied for membership there
has been time for you to have answered from
most any part of the world whether I'm accept
ed or rejected not alone from the USAr have
heard nothing, please state yes or no. 1 am
not going to picture myself to convince the COM
rades that I deserve entrance into the Party,
but shall give few facts.
My activities in the Communist Party are as
follows. attended as a delegate to a state
wide unemployed conference held in Indiapa-
polls, Feb. l, 1881. I was elected to the State
Committee and as delegate to present demands
to the State House for unemployment relief. 1
also was elected delegate to Washington, D. c.,
and was present Feb. 9, 1881. To prove that,
look in the Daily Worker, when they had the

very good prospect to set up Party unit in

I ask the Party again to give me definite
answer yes or no. Here is some information
about me: miner, age "a, U.M.W.A., used to be
member of the socialist party and citizen.

For year and half I have been trying
to get into the Party. The first time L tried
up at a section headquarters and the comrade
1 spoke to said. Alright, alright but a month
passed and nothing happened, so 1 came back
to find out about it but everybody was too busy,
so gave it up for awhile. But kept on doing
work just the same. Got my teeth knocked out
at the Polish embassy demonstration last year,
have been member of the Unemployed Council
since it started, and had a swell time on the
Albany Hunger March. I see now that some of
the Albany Hunger Marchers are being taken
into the Party, so thought would make try

Nothing doing! I filled out about four of

MANY REAL FRIENDS OF LABOR HELP
THE DEFENSE.


AT all periods OF this famous case there have
Al been men and women with real courage and
devotion to direct the fight on behalf of Mooney
and Billings. Robert Minor, a "star" newspaper
man with General Pershing's army in Mexico
heard about Mooney and Billings, their great
need, and the lack of a capable person to head
the Defense Committee. Knowing he could help,
he rus he'd back to San Francisco, and voun-
teered his services. Everything looked black for
Warren Billings, blacker still for Tom Mooney
but Bob Minor saw through all the camouflage
of the prosecution and Immediately set about
denouncing the frame-up. For two long and
discouraging years Minor exposed the frame-up
His meager weekly wages of $500 at the start,
barely kept him alive, the labor leaders, vilifed
him, his co-workers on the Defense Committee
Stacked up in their efforts some quit altogether
but Minor kept plugging away. His tremendous
efforts during the darkest days of the Mooney

tactics of the labor leaders" who INSTRUCTED the

The Civil Liberties Union has been most help

organized the National Mooney Billings Com

Hundreds of editorials, columns and columns of
news articles, cartoons without number, appeals

innocence of both prisoners, it has thrown it's
entire resources into the fight. At the present
