Unemployed Activities in the Unions

to organize, through the medium Of
the opposition, the unemployed into
independent organizations not sub
iect TO the control and whims OF the
burocracy.
Wherever possible this should be
done within the frame of the local
unions; but such committees should
be connected with each other along
trade lines and carry on their activ-
tiles for the needs of the unemployed,
inside and outside Of the local unions
Independently of the burocracy. Such
unemployed organizations in the re-
dictionary unions may also appeal to
expelled members dropped for nom
payment Of dues, and even to I'M
organized workers in certain trades,
for whose interest this committee
should endeavor to fight the same
as II they were members.
In each of the different t1ades the
points TO be fought for inside the
union and in the trade t. be form
ulated by these committees accord
ing TO conditions prevailing, this or
ganization to be linked up with the
general struggle to obtain immediate
relief outside of the union and trade
itself and for reduction of rents.
The unemployed committee and or
ganizations inside the ALL. locals,
whether affiliated or not with the

In the reactionary unions the pur-
pose of this activity is in the first
place to get immediate relief and to

concerned, and to combat the treach-

the struggle that existed between
royalists and revolutionists. Gorg-
eous celebrations, great gambling
dens and romance are contracted
with the intrigues of grim hatchet-
men in the secret catacombs of the
Oriental quarter. Miss Hayes ap-
pears as Lien Wha, the Chinese
marriage altar for the sake of pa
triotism, and Novarro is the Chi
nese lover who extricates her from
her predicament Miss Hayes is
very beautiful in Chinese garb, and
enacts a role that rises to the
heights Of dramatic power with the
deft artistry that raised her to
stardom as Madelon Claudet." ("
Novarro, as the young Chinese
prince, is convincing, and does a
number of dramatic scenes with
force and power. He also sings a
Chinese song delightfully."-. The
costumes and Chinese settings are
spectacular. The great feast, the
march of the Chinese Dragon, and
other details mark the picture as
one of the years major produc-
tions.

RAILROADS VS..
TRUCK TRAFFIC
]. Y. Boggs Of Cape Charles,
Va, Emphasizes Need to Stop
EncrOachments of Trucks
COUNTRY'S BACKBONE

Like tiny rodents stealthily but
steadily pilfering from our sup
plies, the inroads by motor trucks
upon our long established and ex-
tremely important railroad systems
are rapidly crippling the country's
transportation backbone through
the lack of proper regulation and
supervision. That this peril con
fronts American business cannot
be doubted, although some of our
citizenry may have been blinded in
the past by propaganda inaugural
ed and spread by motor transport
owners and operators, truck man
ufacturers, oil companies and their
allied interests to the effect that
modern transportation trends de-
mand the use of trucks rather than
railroads. The fact that our hith-
erto most valuable national asset is
being shorn of its power, prestige
and usefulness is of little comfort
even in the face of undreamed of
motor transport advancement, as a
financial collapse of our rail lines
would entail an enormous in
crease of public taxation in order
to weather the crisis. Certainly no
sane individual would knowingly
stand athwart the worlds progress
or seek the abolition of motor
truck and motor bus lines simply
because they are competitive to the
iron horse; however, in view of the
close and vital connection of the
steam road with the last century's
development of our civilization, it
behooves us to carefully consider
the import of current rumor that
the railroads have seen their best
days and are destined for the scrap
heap although scarcely more than
100 years old Realizing these
facts, it seems high time that we
awake to the real menace of the
peril which impends, and by little
imagination picture to ourselves
what an irretrievable disaster
awaits us as the added encroach-
ments of the road hog" threaten
