Dance for 'Liberator"
and Working Women

NEW YORK.-A Spring Carnival
and Dance for 1.-THE Working Wo-
men" and 1.-THE Liberator" will be
held on April 16 at the Workers
Center, so East 18th Street. The play
"Scottsboro Limited" written by the
Negro writer Langston Hughes and
many other interesting features in
the program, including well known
Negro jazz band, will make this one
of the unforgettable affairs of the
year.
In fighting for the lives of the
Scottsboro boys for whose blood the
capitalists are bowling, our revolu-
tionary papers play very import
ant role. ''The Liberator" is a fight
ing weapon in the struggle for the
freedom of the Negro masses and we
must intensity our efforts in support
of this paper. The proceeds of the
Spring Carnival and Dance will go to
the building of THE Liberator" and
"The Working Women"
The revolutionary unions and the
mass organizations should send large
delegations to this affair which will
be a demonstration of solidarity of
Negro and white workers.

REVOLT IN THE DESERT, NEW
RUSSIAN FILM AT THE
ACME THEATRE.

The teacher as a pioneer in bring
ing modern ways of life to backward
people is favorite heroine in Rus
sian stories, plays and motion pic
lures. A vivid heroine Of this type
is Alma, played by Zinaida Zanori,
in the new Russian film, "Revolt in
the Desert, now playing at the Acme
Theatre, 14th st. and Union So. Alma
comes back to her fathers caravan
to teach the children, after she has
run away to get an education her
self. In spite of his opposition she
sets up school in her hut. Gradu-
ally the suspicious nomads become
interested in her stories of how other
nomads have abandoned a life Of
rowing and have settled down as
farmers and stockmen. Through
her work with the children she is
able to reach their elders as well.
The scenario for Revolt in the
Desert" was written by woman,
Maria Smirnova, who evidently I'M
derstands the problems Of the desert
women. She has incorporated in her
story many Of the special difficulties
which women face in the caravan
life. The same program at the Acme
also includes the latest news reel
from Soviet Russia and Jack Frost,
short reel of winter scenes in Mos
COW parks.

Strike Against SlaVe Status

VICKSBURG, Miss. - Striking
against their state of virtual slavery,
10 Negro families, numbering SO per-
sons, share-c choppers of Holmes
County. Miss, have packed up their
belongings and left the plantations.
The share troopers are on strike
against working for 'furnish"-that
is, receiving no money, but only the
rotten food, WORKOUT clothing and
weather-b beaten shelter that the boss
class of Mississippi has been throw
ing in their faces.
When the SO choppers moved from
their cabins on the plantations to the
yard of Negro church in Jerusalem,
Miss, the Holmes County Health
Department came to the aid of the
landlords and ordered the troopers
to disband. The troopers refused to
bulge an inch from the yard. The

"quarantining them-in plain Eng
lish, imprisoning them.
Facts which have come to light in
connection with this strike show the
extent to which the troopers, espe-
cially the Negro choppers, are being
crushed by the landlords. In Holmes
County, 4,91O of the total of 5000
farms are worked by Negro farmers.
But of this total, only 472 farms are
owned by Negroes, and only 265
others have the Negro farm tenants
received any cash for their labor.
Fully IS per cent of the Negro farm
tenats in this section have been
working for "furnish"-that is, they
have been the virtual slaves of the
plantation owners, working for food
and clothing Just as the slaves did in
the pre-CivilS War days.
A Choppers Union was recently
started in the farming neighborhood
around Charlotte.

HOLLAND, OHIO,
WORKERS RALLY
AGAINST WAR
Town Was Patriotic
Hot-Bed During
Last War
By J.W., Worker Correspondent

By J.W., Worker Correspondent
HOLLAND, o., April 12.-
Significant of the anti-war
sentiment sweeping the coun-
try, an anti-war demonstration
was held on April 6 in this
town, formerly a hot-bed of chau-
vinisn. 125 workers and poor farm
ers, including number of women
and youth, participated.
Holland is scattering little town
8 miles west of Toledo. Its popula-
ton consists of workers, some with
small tracts of land, and of poor
farmers.
The anti-war meeting was called
by the newly organized Communist
Party unit here and was miltantly
supported in spite of the fact that
when the bosses threw the workers
and farmers OF this country into the
last war, the patriotic elements Of
Holland tarred and feathered htree
workers, one of them the Justice of
Peace, for opposing the war This
has not been forgotten by the peo-
pie here, who now know that the last
war in spite of its sham slogans was
a war for loot.
Two hours before the meeting was
called, the bourgeois politicians cir
culated the report that the Unem-
ployed Council would meet that
night to rob grocery stores, thus stir
ring up the fascist elements to at
tempt to stop the meeting, But the
workers and poor farmers could not
be intimidated.
The call for a revolutionary fight
against imperialist war, for the de-
Tense of the Chinese people and the
Soviet Union, for unemployment in
surance and relief for the poor farm
ers, was greeted with long applause.
There is a strong sentiment for
the Communist Party and its pro-
gram among the workers and farm
ers in Holland, in spite of the fact
that this is the first time they we're
approached by Communist speakers.
The unit here has an excellent
chance to grow.
The growing militancy Of the
workers and poor farmers here in
the fight against the bosses war and
hunger offensive can be seen by the
fact that on April over 500 work
ers and poor farmers turned out for
the Hunger March TO the Adams
Township trustees The march,
which was organized by the Unem-
ployed Council, was very militant in
character.

Must Fight Attempt
to Evict 6 Families

NEW YORK. i Six families were
served eviction notices for next Fri
day. Their food and rent allowance
was discontinued by the Home Re-
lief Bureau and the Police Depart
ment refused to give them any aid.
These six families live at 1903 York
Avenue and are in dire distress. The
workers must prevent their eviction.
They must put up a mass struggle
against the attempt to starve them.
They should organize a Block Com
mite which will lead the struggle
against this and future evictions, for
free rent and gas to all unemployed
workers, for immediate relief by the
City, for social insurance by the Gov
eminent.

Pl0nurn Resolution
n April Communist

The recent resolution for the Gen.
trail Committee Plenum, published in
full in the April issue of the Com
munist, is of decisive Importance in
helping the Party ito overcome
the isolution of the Party from the
decisive masses of the American pro-
letariat come before the masses as
their vanguard in the struggle a.
gainst the offensive of the bourgeoise
and against the imperialist war, and
to firmly root itself in the decisive
industries by means of solid personal
contacts with the workers" (From
the Resolution.
The resolution gives a brief clear
review of the economic political stu
alton in the country, and the strug-
gle against war it takes up the role
and demagogy of the various bourge-
Disc parties, it places particular en-
phasis on the need of concentrating
our fire on Social Fascism when it
states that I'm this situation Amer
lean Social Fascism american Fed
Grafton of Labor, Socialist party, par
ticularly the Music wing, with the
Lovestone, Cannon renegades) are
greatly increasing their activity to
carry out the imperialist policy of
the bourgeoisie, trying, by establish
ing the most skillfull, deceptive di-
vision of work, to divert the radical
lied workers from the class struggle,
against the offensive of the capital
lists, to split the ranks of the work
ers and to bring about their defeat.
This confronts the Communist Par
ty with the task of increasing, sharp
ening and improving its fight a.
gainst social fascism, as the main
enemy in the struggle for the sue
cessful mobilization of the masses in
the fight against the bourgeoisie Of
fensive and the war danger"
The section of the resolution deal
ing with the situation of the C.P.
U.S.A. and its urgent tasks" is dealt
with in self critical manner and con-
cretely points the way in overcoming
the major weaknesses and consohd-
ating and extending the gains and
achievements. The keynote is given
in the very first paragraph of this
resolution stating, 1.-THE radical turn
| towards revolutionary mass work
among the basic sections of the pro-
letariat, which has been demanded
by the E.C.CI, in its resolution and
directives, has up till now essentially
not been carried through in prac-
tice. Although the Party has recog-
nized the necessity Of this turn, and
although the Party can show a num-
Der of successes in the attempt to
carry out the turn in practice (strikes,
Scottsboro, Hunger March the work
of the Party fundamentally remains
in the same groove.
In connection with the coming
presidential elections, of special i'm
portance is the final section of the
resolution on 1.-THE tasks of the cleo
ton campaign"

luton requeres Of every Party mem
