Latin American Play
To Be Given Friday

NEW YORK,--On Friday, May s,
those interested in colonial events
will have an opportunity TO witness
what is to our knowledge the first
play to be written about an OUT
standing revolutionary event in Latin
America. The Anti-Imperialist Lea
que has had a special play, "The
Chilean Naval Revolt" written for
this occasion.
So little has been written in the
American press about this tremen-
dously significant movement of the
sailors of the Chilean fleet, that this
play now becomes an important fac
tor in popularizing the event.
The first scene: ION the super
dreadnought 14atorre) shows the
sailors defy the ship commander.
The second shows the revolutionary
determination OF the sailors, in con-
trast with the vacillation Of the lower
officialdorr1. The next scene reveals
nucleus meeting Of the Communist
Party of Chile, where the revolt Is
analysed, lessons drawn, and an ap-
peal Is issued to the workers and
peasants. The final scene depict;

America with the workers Of the

order to make them vote for them.
But in reality all these parties are
for cutting off relief to the unem-

the imperialist war and for wage
cuts and against unemployment in

In the call, the Communist Party
calls the attention Of the workers to

with the assistance of his strongarm
gangster-backed association, which is
really running his plant for him, Is
again resorting to the frame up
weapon used in the second week of
the strike when fifteen of the most
militant strikers and union officials
were framed up on trumped-up
charges of felonious assault,
Now, in the eighth week OF the
strike, seeing all other vicious at
tenpts Of terrorism against the in
experienced but militant negro and
white strikers fail, he is very des-
perate.
On Thursday morning Leon Blum
organizer Of the union, was again
arrested and held without bail, al
though he had been previously re-
leased under heavy bail bond. This
arrest again shows the hand of the
racketeering bosses association, which
is playing its last card, desperately
trying to break the strike by Gripping
the leadership of the Laundry Work
ers Industrial Union.
However, the association will again
find out that the rank and file lead
ership will always spring up to defeat
this vicious plan.
The Laundry Workers Industrial
Union asks all workers to come to
5 East 10th Street, first floor, TO help
the strikers of the New Style to win
