TUNNEY AS BOXING BOSS?
Recent reports relative TO Gene
Tunney's possible succession to Big
Jim Farley az chairman of the New
York state athletic commission are
Interestingly true. As the COM
mission stands now and has been
for the past two years, any change
would be for the better, and then
again, 1t would give the retired
worlds heavyweight champion an
opportunity to actually put into
practice a few of those admirable
principles in relation to the ring
that he mentioned in his own story
some time ago as published In Col
liers'. The decision which gave
Jack Sharkey the worlds heavy
weight championship over Max
Schmeling had just about died as
topic of discussion, when along
comes a fresh one, given to Jack
Kid Berg last Monday night over
Kid Chocolate, the Cuban Bon Bon.
You sec, such a small thing as a
decision must never be allowed to
interfere with the Gardens plans
for the future.

From the Party
4 St. Paul Hoodlums
Kicked Out

ST. PAUL, Minn.-The Communist
Party has expelled from member
ship Leyden, Fox, Nation and Shuck
for white chauvinisn, and as dis
ruptors of the unemployed movement
These individuals are not only guilty
of allowing Jim-Crow affair to take
place in the Rice st. headquarters OF
the Unemployed Council, but have
stirred up race hatred and religious
prejudices Of backward elements in
order to carry on a fight against the
leadership Of the Communist Party
They have allied themselves with a
gang of hoodlrmS who have connec-
tons with the world and the police
department, who have done their
best TO smash the Rice Street Branch
of the Unemployed Council and pre-
vent 1t from carrying on struggle
for unemployment relief.
All militant workers and supporters
of the Communist Party and the I'M
employed Councils are warned against
these elements, and called upon to
give active support to the measures
taken by the Party to clean these
rotten elements out of the move
ment, and TO strengthen the strug-
giles of the unemployed under the
leadership of the Communist Party
and the Unemployed Councils.

COURT REFUSES
TO GUST CROOKS
IN METAL UNION
Workers Attempted to
Get Injunction Against
Officials

Tammany Judge Levy of the dis
triCt Supreme Court always ready
with injunctions against workers has
turned down the request of an in
junction against the corrupt officials
of Sheet-Metal Workers Union, Local
%, who refuse to leave office al
though their terms expired last De-
cember. The injunction was asked
for by the union members. In the
request for the injunction 1t was
stated that the officials have in
stituted a gang rule, and that they
control the huge sum of $4,000 in
the treasury. The rscketeers are ter
rorizing all who dare to oppose them.
And in this terrori5ation they have
been aided not only by the court but
also by Secretary of Labor Doak.
Last week Doak announced that he
was going to investigate the local for
Communism" This was at the re-
quest of the labor takers. But the
deportation hungry secretary met
such a storm Of protest that he had
to back down.
The workers in the union should
now realize that in the fight against
corruption they cannot expect any
aid from the courts or the govern
ment. The fight must go on with
other methods.

Workers Baby Dies;
City S e n d s Dog
Catcher'S W agOn

BY ). V.
During the Paterson strike of the
textile workers under the leadership
of the National Textile Workers
Union, one of the strikers, formerly
of Passaic, who had worked at the
Morrand Silk Shop, was active on the
picket line.
He told me that he was, worried,
that his wife was about to give birth
and there was no food in the house.
The United Front Relief Committee
did all they could to help him at
that time.
A bitter struggle was put up for
union conditions. 1t Is now history
how the Gitlow-Muste-A F.. OF L.
forces broke the strike and forced
the workers back into open shop con-
ditions. This worker, as well as many
others, were blacklisted and unable
to find work.
Recently I met this worker again.
Unemployment and starvation have
wrecked him. Although he is "a yrs,
Of age, he looks forty. He told me
the following story:
For about five months after the
baby was born, they managed with
the aid Of comrades, to get along and
keep alive. The baby got sick and
having no money for a private doc
tor, they called the city doctor in,
commonly known as the horse doc
tor"
This faker hardly glanced at the
child and left a powder to be mixed
with the baby's milk. The child was
running a temperature of 104 de-
grees Alarmed the parents sent for
doctor who. after examining the
child, said it was too late, the child
was dying Of pneumonia.
Upon the death of the child, the
city sent dog catcher's wagon to
take the body away and refused to
tell the stricken parents how they
would dispose Of the body.
Worry and grief have so under
mined the health of the young
mother, that she has become ill and
has lost all her teeth.
Workers, this is only one picture
of the starvation and suffering of the
textile workers, not only in Pater-
son, but in Passaic, Lawrence, North
Carolina and Fall River.
Only the building of a strong union
the National Textile Workers Union
and greater struggles will get liv-
ing wages and decent conditions for
the textile workers.

a challenge 10 the power Of Henry
Ford and all his class-a challenge
that is also prophecy. That monu-

united working class weary of cap
italist and Of landlord, shall take
unto themselves their rightful hertz
age-the land, the mines. the mills,
the factories, TO be operated for the
good of all
We shall build two monuments
two affairs to the memory of our
dead. One shall be in Woodmere
Cemetery, of granite and bronze.
The other monument will be a

carry on to victory the fight for the
emancipation of mankind from the
yoke Of capitalism for which they
died. The world shall know that
they have not died in vain.

DEPOSITORS OF US
BANK IN STRUGGLE
Banking Department
Deaf to Demands

NEW YORK, N. Y, April 13-Five
workers appointed by the Committee
Of % representing the Bank of the
United States depositors, were given
evasive answers by Mr.. Henenman
and Mr.. Ilfield Of the State Banking
Department when they presented
their demands yesterday.
Mr.. Henenman and Mr.. nfield re-
fused to hear all the five delegates
and admitted only 2, Kissel and
Greenbaum, who demanded that all
money at hand be turned over TO the
depoSitors, jobless and starving.
They were told that out of the 9
million dollars at hand last Deem
Der, only 2 millions in cash are now
available, and that over 7 millions
are tied up by the Court on account
Of unsettled cases,
The representatives of the De-
positors' Committee demanded that
Unter1neyer'S plan be turned down,
as the purpose OF this plan is not
that Of raising money for the de-
positors but that of freeing the stock
holders and directors of the bank
from their responsibilities. They
promised to call the Depositors'
Committee to fight this plan when
it goes before the Court.
To the question why after six
months they do not do anything to
collect money from the stockholders
and directors on their assessments,
the two officers of the Banking De-
partment answered that they are not
prepared as yet,
The representatives of the depos-
itors demanded that the Banking
Department collects the money in go
days from the stockholders and di-
rectors of the Bank of the U. S.
After the two workers left the
Banking Department, a mass-meeting
was held on the corner of Center and
Pearl Streets. Over 500 depositors
were present. Beside the Q above
named workers, the Secretary of the
Depositors' Committee, Goshen, spoke
denouncing the Banking Department
as protector of the directors and
stockholders. All those present at the
meeting pledged themselves to help
in organizing all the depositors.
AS the meeting was over, the de.
positors started to march toward the
Court House to protest and demand
the full and immediate payment of
all their deposits. Policemen at
tackled them. Mrs. Post. a IS year old
depositor, who insisted in carrying
sign, was brutally assaulted and
her arm broken.

Golden Mountains"
Soviet Film, Opens
At the Cameo Today

Sergei Yutkevitch, director of OF
Golden Mountains" new Soviet
talkie opening today at the Cameo
Theatre, is the first Russian director
to revolt" against the strict stylistic
method of film making which has
marked the Soviet films. Speaking
before the Societ of Motion Picture
Workers, Yutkevitch said, THE the
ory of montage, which was merely a
chronological ideas in the beginning
is growing into a formal, complicated
style. I want to use the motion pic
ture for showing real life, political
ideas, cultural development. I want
to do away with the aesthetic pic
turization of the factory"
Yutkevitch also questioned whether
motion pictures NEEDED plots, but in
the case Of Golden Mountains" de-
cided in the affirmative. Although
the plot of this picture is simple, it
is worked out fully, both in action
and in the psychology of its four
characters.
Yutkevitch, who is still under thirty,
has been artist and architect and d.
rector, producer and actor in the
famous Blue Blouses," travelling
actors OF Russia. He also worked in
the Proletkut Theatre with Eisen-
stein before becoming a motion pic
ture director. In his arly film, Lace, ="
and 'NThe Black Sail" he used an
extremely journalistic technique,
which caused much discussion in
film groups in Russia. In Golden
Mountains" he has abandoned stylism
in favor of simple, direct technique
which combines realistic material
and poetic treatment.
Sergei M. Eisenstesin, noted Rus
sian motion picture director, will in
troduce the 'talkie" tonight. Eisen-
stein will speak shortly concerning
Russian films and will discuss Yut-
kevitch.

FAMOUS WRITER'S
PROTEST METHOD
OF MOONEY PROBE
Score Attempt to Keep
Mooney in Jail

A protest against the further i'm
prisonment of Tom Mooney is issued
today by the National Committee
for the Defense of Political Prisoners,
whose membership includes Theodore
Dresser, Sherwood Anderson, Lincoln
Steffens and Waldo Frank.
The protest is based upon Gov
ernor Rolph's new investigation OF
the case. The governor is basing his
verdict upon an investigation con-
Quoted by Louis F. Byington and
Matt Sullivan. Byington is charged
by Melvin P. Levy, Secretary of the
National Committee for the Defense
Of Political Prisoners with a COM
plete lack of knowledge of the case"
and investigation of ian amazingly
superficial quality"
An announcement credited to sour
ces close to the Governor of Califor-
MIA that Mooney will not be released
for two more years because "the
Governors advisors fear the effect of
MONEYS release under present eco
nonic conditions, if he were free to
go about the country lecturing and
organizing, is also protested,
The statement brands such i'm
prisonment as Imprisonment for po-
litical causes having nothing to do
with MONEYS alleged crime.
The statement says in part:
The governor is basing his verdict
upon an investigation conducted by
Louis F. Byington and Matt Sullivan
A month after these men had begun
their investigation, at time when
they were supposed to be in the midst
of it, Mr.. Byington held a CONVEX
sation with Mr.. Edward B. Mckenzie
in San Francisco. At that time the
investigator" asked, for his own in
formation, such questions as the To-
cation of the building from which
the Preparedness Day Bomb was sup
posed to have been thrown, reveal
ing a complete lack of knowledge of
the case.
In spite of the amazingly super
fetal quality of Governor Rolph's in
vestigation, he has now issued state
ments which indicate what his ac-
ton in regard to Tom Mooney will
be.
The San Francisco Examiner of
April in an obviously inspired
story emanating from persons close
to the Governor" announced that
Mooney probably will have his SEN
tence committed and will be free
