Two Silk Portraits
Of Lenin, Prizes in
'Daily's' Fund Drive

NEW YORK.-Two silk portraits
of Lenin, woven in the Rosa Luxem-
burg Silk Mill, Moscow, US. s. r.,
are offered by jeanette D. Pearl as
prizes In the Daily Worker $40, 900
drive.
Any workers organization can COM
pete for one Of these portraits by
raising the largest amount and asking
that 1t be credited to Michael Gold
in his Socialist competition with the
other Daily Worker columnists to
raise 81 900 for the ''Daily's" SAC, 900
fund. The second is offered as a
prize to the Harlem Workers School,
provided It challenges q similar or
ganization to raise funds In the drive
and raises the larger amount. In
either case the funds must be sent to
the Daily Worker to be credited to
Michael Colds column.
The donor OF the prizes, Jeanette
Pearl, worked for q year in the Red
Rosa Silk Mill. where the portraits
were woven. IdenticaIly alike. each
one is lax by l5h inches and make
prizes very worth winning.

.PointleSs Laughs
at Obsolete LauVs
BY PHILIP STERLING

BY PHILIP STERLING
THERE OUGHT TO BE A LAW,
by william Seagle. Illustrations
by Bill Chopper. The Macaulay
Co, $1.25.
Angelo Herndon Is doing 20 years
in the Georgia penitentiary because
ne was convicted OF "inciting to in
surrection" on a moth-eaten law
passed against the carpet baggers
after the civil war.
Anthony Bimba, working class his
torian and organizer, once faced TAIL
in Massachusetts, on charge Of bias
phemy made possible by a law passed
against atheists in 1892 or there
abouts.
Every day In the year hundreds Of
strike pickets, street speakers, Daily
1 Worker agents, are arrested on
charges such as causing a crowd to
collect, "littering the pavements,"
''obstructing q public thoroughfare
and other idiotic excuses customarily
used to harraSs workers in their ev-
ery-day routine of organization for
economic or political purposes.
Yet William Seagle engages in a
typicslly liberal pastime-laughing at
the stupidity Of capitalist government
without concerning himself with its
real function.
For instance, he thinks it's merely
funny that there are futile old laws
against throwing stones at railroad
trains" 1t doesn't occur to him that
such laws might have originated in
the early struggles Of the American
labor movement and that it may be
one OF that whole series of laws de-
signed to make anti-working class
frame-ups easier.
Isn't it possible, for instance that
the Nebraska law (cited by Seagle)
which makes it unlawful for a person
to camp upon public highway at
two places within a radius Of five
miles within 80 days might easily
be used now against farn-Strike
! pickets?
Seagle laughs because a California
law regulates the amount of cubic
space for each person occupying a
bedroom, and points out in cryptic
title that this law makes poverty a
crime.
That is funny, but Anatole France
once pointed out with superb irony
that all capitalist law makes poverty
q crime when he said: THE law, in
its majestic equality permits
rich and poor alike to sleep under
bridges, to beg in the streets and to
steal their bread"
There's one really funny thing
about the William Choppers
illustrations. Many are not merely
funny but sharply satirical. And
barbed, analytical satire, Mr.. Seagle,
is needed when you feel like laughing
not only at the laws, but at all the
phenomena of dying society which
is forced into tudicrous shapes and
attitudes by its own mortal affliction.

1t is no accident that in every
thriller" dealing with Soviet Russia,
the hero Of an adventurous Ameri-
can who lines up against the Boil
sheviks. Such stories, which appear
occasionally in the pulpwood maya
zines, extend from tales of American
troops in Siberia after the Revolt
ton, to mythical Siberian uprisings
in 1898. The following are a few
recent samples.
''Honors Of war" by M. Wheeler
Nicholson C"Adventure Magazine, y
June 1889, is a lengthy story of a
"natural-born" cavalry leader who is
driven out OF the q. S. army by a
stupid superior officer. The latter is
sent to Siberia with an American
regiment-"nominally allies of the
Whites" to protect the people

The super halted his flow OF
sweet words. His face palad in an
ger. He threatened and shouted.
The group became more Stub
born. Their anger was loosed from
It's bounds. They argued. They COM
planned. One woman headed the
group in her expressions of indig-
nation. She vas clad in an old red
jacket, and torn shoes. They looked
like some ones cast off clothing.
The group were standing arounc
the supervisors desk. He stepped

ceiyer Of his telephone. Patrol

There's riot here, bunch of
reds. They're shouting and threat
er1ing. One woman here especially
is very tough. She's wearing q red
coat. See that one OF your GODS
mistakes her for q man, and crack
her over the jaw. It'll do her good.
Thanks " he added and hung up.
The police soon arrived. They
slugged and showed the crowd. It
took some time but the workers
were dispersed. Gone back to their
cold novels. The woman in the red
coat was arrested.
That same afternoon, the super
visor called over an investigator.
Say, take food ticket to that
lady In red. Maybe that will shut

CLOTH MARKET

NEW YORK. Aug. 4 N.S).-Today's
coarse yarn cloths market saw a fair
sized increase in inquiries bringing,
however. more business to second hands
than to first hands.
Second hands have evidently decided
that their best interests will be served
by selling on a plus tax basis, in order
to prevent the possibility of being
accused of taking a profit on the tax
and in order to avoid any confusion
