Slandering Reds

SYDNEY, N. S. w, Australia
jock Garden, secretary Of the Sydney
Trades and Labor Council, who has
for years used his position in the
labor movement to break strikes, and
has used the worst social-fascist
demagogy to disorganize the ranks
of the workers and pave the way for
fascism claims he was attacked last
Saturday by group of fascists.
His social-fascist comrades in the
labor party charge that Communists
aid the fascists in such attacks. 1t
is doubtful If Garden was attacked.
The story of the attack upon him
was probably concocted in an at
tempt to gain sympathy for Garden,
who is utterly discredited among the
decisive sections of the New South
Wales working class-especially the
railway, tramway and timber work
ers whom he has betrayed time and
again.
The vile slander that Communists
work with fascists is only an attempt
to confuse the workers who are rail-
lying in tens of thousands in an anti
fascist front under the leadership of
the Communist Party, which alone
fights the now notorious New Guard,
a fascist organization created with
the aid of and under the protection
of the left" social-fascist govern

'' Alone, Film of A
Teachers Life in
Siberia at Cameo

There is a fine film at the Cameo,
another Soyuzkino production, re-
leased inAmerica by Amkino.
The story is simple, but intensely
interesting, as a record of the ever
lasting fight in the far corners of the
U. S. S. R. against inefficiency, bu-
reaucracy, priesthood, kulakism and
the forces of darkness generally. The
photography, by A. N. Moskvin, is of
the usual high type of the Soviet
films. There are amazing scenes Of
the Mongoloid tribesmen at work and
play, and square miles of snow COW
eered hillsides. A feature is the
musical scoreby Dmitri Shostskovitch,
which is not just music but singing,
too. Some of the songs are translated
on thescreen, while the Russian
words strike the ear.

have been adopted at many meet

socialist police, inspired by the
United States government, tens of
of German workers rail-
lied to the defense of the Scots
boro boys and the Negro masses Of
this country.

capitalism is trying to commit
against our fellow workers who have
been guilty of nothing save the act
of looking for work" The resolu-
ton demands the unconditional re-
lease of the nine boys. A copy OF
the resolution, signed by j. Dalero

charged with drawing it up, has been
