Mr.. Maryland Is expected back
within a few days, and there is
chance that work may start
during the coming week. Re-
ports from the border country
are that the roads are not IN
good shape yet and as the May

distance from the graveled high

ditions as possible.

NORMA, N. J.-Seventy farmers of
Norma, meeting at the public school
here under the leadership of a Com
nlittee of Action, laid the foundation
of statewide organization OF poor
and middle farmers. This was done
In spite of the attacks OF the fertil-
i2er dealers and rich farmers, who
came posing as sympathizers and
tried to throw monkey wrench into
the machinery. These attacks were
repulsed by the poor farmers, who
drew sharp class line.
Resolutions were sent to the presi-
Gent of the United States and the
governor of the state demanding i'm
mediate relief, no sheriff sales or
foreclosures, a moratorium on farm
ers' debts, lowering of the farmers
truck fees to So year, and no gas
tax for farmers.
Farmers from nearby points asked
for help TO organize in their neigh
borhoods. A speaker told OF the or

"Cledr ALI Wires" SattrizeS Fake
Capitalist Press Reports on USSR

IN CLEAR All Wires at the Times
Square Theatre, Bella and Samuel
Spewack have painted a picture Of
the degenerate island of foreign di-
plomacy, capitalist press correspond
ents, and remnants of the ariStoc-
racy and its hangers on which I'M
doubtedly exists in the capital of the
workers republic. 1t probably must
continue to exist as long as capital
ism survives in the other countries.
The play claims that within the
island there are some fairly honest
types. bourgeois press craftsmen, who
really try to tell the truth. But the
aesthetic Menzies (played by John
Hoysradt) who tries to sabotage the
Soviet government little in his ar
ticles in the New Republic, the
'King's Messenger" of the British
Embassy (played by Philip Tongue)
who hangs out with the correspond
ents, and particularly the main
character, Buckley Joyce Thomas,
played by Thomas Mitchell, are fools
but just poison fools. Even the good
ones, like Pettinky lite (hinted at as
the Times correspoaden0 are rough
with the chambermaids, try to ex-
plot their translators. etc.
Attracted to this island of capital
ism like flies to sugar are such char
acters as Prince Tomofsky, who is
living with a dancer of the old re-
gime and trying TO peddle her for
$4,000 to some American but will
take $500 for her in G pinch; a peas
ant, who turns out to be something
of a kulak, and Gorguloff type
named Sazanoff, played by John
Melvin Bleiffer. What real workers
show up are handled by the Spe-
wacks in a kind of patronizing man.

PROTEST HUNGER
DEATH OF CHILD
Schenectady Workers
Demand Relief

SCHENECTADY, N. Y, Sept. ia
protest meeting at the policy of the
Albany city government which re-
suited in the death of starvation Of
the nine-year-old child of war vet
eran will be held here at Crescent
Park under the leadership of the In
employed Council tomorrow WED
nesday) night.
In a statement issued yesterday by
the Unemployed Council of Schen-
ectady, the Albany city government
was condemned for it's starvation
policy toward workers and their
children, and the Schenectady city
government was called on to provide
enough relief to the unemployed
workers in the city to prevent SIM
liar deaths from starvation from &C.
curing.
The Unemployed Council is circu-
lating petition which has already
been signed by hundreds of workers
demanding that the city and county
supply free food and clothing to all
children of the unemployed. The
petition proposes that funds for this
purpose be obtained by reducing the
salaries of all officials, from the gov
ernor of the state down to the relief
administrators, and by taxing the in
come of the bankers, corporation
heads and rich business men.

themselves.
But they do make roaYingly sa-
tirical play on Buckley Joyce Thorn
as (who reminds one of Donald Day,
the Chicago Tribune correspondent.
Thomas spends his time taking sto-
ries from Russia. He rises to a fine
climax when he stages an attempted
assassination Of the prince, using his
jsii-bird secretary to fire the shot.
He nearly gets the Conmissar of For
eign Affairs killed, by mistake in
stead, and the G.PU. soon checks up
and exposes his whole scheme In the
end he is completely Debated, shown
up. ridiculed by his associates and
everybody else. Then he gets job
at $4,000 a year to report Chinese
news for Hearst.
1t requires a considerable strain
on the imagination to think of the
Peoples Commissar of Foreign At
fairs in the rooms of this flamboy-
ant faker, but 1t makes 8 good rlay.
There is one interesting jab at
American capitalism When Grau-
stein, the G.P.U. agent, is digging
into Thomas tricks, Thomas in the
extreme Of his bllffing campaign,
slaps him on the shoulder and de-
clares, "I'll put you in the news, as
the most intelligent investigator /
ever saw"
Graustein responds quietly: "When
I was a worker in America went
to a Communist demonstration. The
police dubbed the workers, including
me, and the newspapers compliment
ed the police on their very intelli-
gent handling of the situation"
In the end, Buckley Joyce Thomas
gets his passports and an invitation
to go somewhere else, just as the
Tribune Moscow correspondent did.

WIN FREEDOM OF

80 Were Prisoners on
Dollar Line Ship

NEW YORK,-The threat of milit-
ant action upon the part Of 90
Chinese ssamen, who we're helde
virtual prisoners for over weeksl
abroad the steamer President Jofn|s
son, has forced the Dollar Steamship
Co. to negotiate with an elected COM
mittee, and allow members of the
crew ashore, which was formerly de-

forced to promise either Immediate
return to China, which was the main
demand, or employment On the Pre-
sidsnt johnson on the world cruise.
The quality of the food was also inn
proved.
The crew gained this victory with
the support of the Marine Workers
Industrial Union and by acting along
the lines suggested by the M. w. I. U.
The union recently established con-
tact with them and Immediately
came to their aid.
The Chinese Seamen arc not rely

pany but continue to organize and

The Chinese crew were very en-
thusiastic about the M. w. I. U. ands

Workers Voice, which is published by1

was made by the crew for the VOICE.
The President Johnson" recently
returned from world cruise and has
been laid up. For weeks the crew
was not allowed ashore; although the
ship was in port they we're not given
fresh vegetables or fruit or meat, and
when they demanded that they be
returned to China, which the con-
tract calls for, the captain refused to
give them any satisfaction. A strict
guard was placed over them.

"The Eagle of the Caucasus"

ton arises in the spectators mind
Is not this a futile and unequal
struggle? Zaur alone against the
Cars Cossacks; against the whole
armed force Of the monarchy In
this respect THE Eagle Of the eau
casus" suffers badly by comparison
with several Soviet films previously
seen in this country and bearing on
like theme.
On the debit side it must also be
said that most of the interior Sc
quenceS suffer from the kind of direc
ton Cor absence of cutting remin-
iseent of the old Biograph films.
Especially so the duel between zaur
and the Prince. This is all the more
fragrant as there are exterior Sc
quences that rise high in skillful cut
ting and photography.
On the same program at the Acme
Theatre there is shown the cleverest
Soviet sound cartoon we have yet
seen. 1t is calld "The Traffic Elk
pert" If only Amkino would re-
frain from clubbing such gems with
unnecessary vocal experimentation.

DOLL WORKERS
SPURN AFLPACT
Organize Own Bodies,
Win Concessions
(By a Doll Worker)

In April, 1882, a few workers in the
doll factories got togther and distri-
buted leaflets announcing to the
workers that they were ready to form
a Doll Workers Industrial Union.
Working conditions in these shops
are intolerable. Wages are low and
hours are long.
In four months 500 workers had
joined the Doll Workers Industrial
Union.
With no funds in the treasury, and
without the proper preparations Or
ganizationally, the few leaders of this
union decided to call a general strike.
Their demands included a 44-hour
week, IS per cent wage increase and
time and a half for overtime.
Gave Away leadership
Instead of drawing the workers act
lively into the struggle when the strike
was declared, the organizers handed
over the entire leadership into the
hands OF the refornlist leaders, Off
Gals of the American Federation of
Labor, the Socialist Party, the Anal
gamated, etc.
For three weeks, II per cent OF
the workers from the trade have
been out on strike. All this time the
reformist leaders of the strike have
been negotiating and comforting with
the doll manufacturers, with the re-
suit that an agreement has been
drawn up and signed by few union
leaders and newly formed Doll
Manufacturers AssocitN~sl.
Agreement A Betrayal
This agreement was a betrayal of
the workers. None of the demands
Tor which the workers struck was in
eluded. When the agreement was
read at mass meeting of the work
ers, the workers, and even the original
organizers stormed against it.
The reformist leaders to draw in
the workers from the larger factories,
stated distinctly that there would be
no negotiations and no settlements
without the consent of the shop COM
mittees But these labor officials have
broken their promises. The agree
ment they are trying to force down
on us would make conditions in the
doll shops worse than before the
strike.
When sections of these workers re-
allied this betrayal they turned their
backs on these reforrnist leaders, or
gained themselves into solid bodies,
negotiated with the bosses directly,
and succeeded in obtaining better re-
suits than the official agreement.
