1.-THE NEXT WAR"
Reviewed by Irving Lerner

Like THE Big Drive" Forgotten
Men" and "The Strange Case of Tom
Mooney" "The Next War" is the
product of an independent" COM
pany. That is, company not con-
trolled by the Hays outfit. In Eu-
ropean countries it was considered a
distinction not to belong to the trust.
And as a matter of fact, all of the
better German (pre-Hitler) and
French films were made by indie
pendents. Here in the Urited States
not being a member of the HAS or
ganization is a symbol of infer Gritty.
It's the class distinction within the
capitalist class. Therefore these in
dependents are compelled to make
sensational films (Goona Goona) to
be able to compete with major COM
panies. Occasionally they will in
clude in their programs topical"
films that have the mask Of SEN
sationalism.
THE Next War" now playing at
the Cameo. is composed of library
shots and is accompanied by an
announcer. The very fact that such
film was made is indicative of the
war situation today. In so many
words the film admits that I'VE hear
the rumble of war, even though the
last war killed 100000 men and
crippled and wounded more than
twice that amount" The picture
, goes on to show how the nations are
preparing for the next war. OF
course, there is no distinction be-
tween the offensive mobilization Of
the capitalist countries and the de-
+, fensive- moves on the part of the
Soviet Union. s"' ~fss'
And then the commentator with
very vivid language and less vivid
! but nevertheless exciting pictures
tries to give the audience a picture
of the next war: the poison gas, the
mechanical armies, the deadly air
fleets, the super navies, and the
! terror of bacteria warfare BY this
time the excitement has reached its
peak. Then the So What-the What
are-you-g oing-t o-do about 1t part.
Our announcer says that only
"F a IA noble force will help to
stop the next war. And that the
hope of the people is in the League
of Nations! This ending is no sur
prise. 1t would have been expecting
too much and certainly naive to ex-
pect even an independent" to ask
us to support the United Congress
Against War in New York, Septem-
Der 2nd-4th. The so-called feature
(''The Next War" being only an
added attraction is the new Ann
Harding film (this is Art and Enter
tainment) called Double Harness"
But never mind it, it does not
matter.

nent, signed by John L. Lewis and
william Green, ordering the miners
back to work, it was admitted here
at the NRA headquarters.
Before the statement was signed,
General Johnson called UP the Steel
Corporations offices In New York
and it was proposed that all refer
ences to the United Mine Workers
Of America be withdrawn, and that
no union recognition be stated or
promised.
The agreement to end the coal

Swope, president Of General Elec-
trio; Louis D. KRISTEN, Boston capt.
talist; Major George L. Berry, presi-
dent of the Printing Pressmens
Union.
The agreement to break the strike
was written after long negotiations
between General Johnson, the coal
operators, the United States Steel
Corporation representatives. and the
U.M.W.A. officials.
John L. Lewis, after the agree
ment, issued statement to the
miners ordering them to return to
work.
Lewis told the men to drop their
demands and wait for the coal slave
code hearing on August 9, and ac-
cept the results without question.
Instructions requesting compli
ance with the terms Of this settle
ment," said Lewis, will be issued
immediately to the district organiza-
tons and local unions in the affect

its every loyal member to accept

ed States the fullest degree of CO.

restore order and bring economic
stability to the stricken coal indus

After issuing the statement Lewis
went into conference with General
johnson to work out steps for
smashing the strike in the event the
miners refused to accept the SELL
out.

5 ORGANIZATIONS.
DISCUSS CODE OF
+ @ @ D WORKERS

NEW YORK Five labor and fra
ternal organizations, representing the
workers employed in the hotel and
restaurant industry, were present at
a conference where the National Re-
covery Code and its effect on the
members were discussed.
The organizations represented were
the Hotel and Restaurant Branch. Of
the Food Workers Industrial Union.
the Hotel and Restaurant Branch of
the Amalgamated Food Workers
Union. the International Cooks As
ISOLATION, the Manhattan Italian
Sporting Club and the International
Geneva Association. These organiza-
lions repre5en 5000 to 1000 workers
now working in the hotel and res
taurant industry.
This was actually the first time
since the General Strike movement
of the hotel workers in 1918 to 1922
that such a conference was organ
lied. The conference resulted in set
ting up Of a joint committee of rep
resentativeS Of each organization to
draw up draft code for the indus
try on the basis Of the actual condi-
tons as they now are, and to initiate
and conduct joint struggles around
these proposals.
The international Hotel and Res
taurant Employees Union, affiliated
with the American Federation of La
Dor, has already established it's Of
flee in Washington, under the lead
ership of Flore, its president, who is
trying to split the movement by or
ganizing individually negotiating
with the employers.
The National Restaurant Associa-
ton, which recently had its confer
ence to draw up code for the in
dustry, which was recently published
in the press, set up code providing
for a 54-hour week, declaring the
40-hour week impractical and IN
feasible for the industry. Wages
they proposed as low as SO for the
unskilled and as high as $25 for the
highly skilled workers-chefs, cooks,
ETC., in the industry. They are try
ing to push their proposals to the
Recovery Administration. A move on
the part Of the American Hotel Asso-
citation, powerful combine of the
richest hotel bosses in this country,
to classify the hotel workers as do
nestle servants, recently was reported
in the latest issue of their organ
Hotel World Review"
This will mean added slavery and
worsened conditions for the hotel
workers. The joint committee set up
by the conference took all these
questions into consideration and is
preparing to fight around these is
sues.

hood weekly of August LIST. But East
mans opinion stands and the lay
offs go on.
Now the labor chiefs are going to
try the National Recovery Act. We
can assure them that no code under
this act will do more than spread
available work with the wage bill
spread accordingly unless railroad
labor makes use Of the strike as thou
sands Of workers are doing in the
mines, textile mills and other indus
tries.
r. r. Earnings Up $40 P. C.
While railroad workers continue to
lose 10 percent of each weeks wages,
thanks to the action of the labor
chiefs in extending the wage cut un-
til June, 1884, profits Of railroad
shareholders soar. The first u COM
panies to report for June gave net
operating income for that month as
S60,500,000 as against Sl2,652,000 in
June, 1882 This is an increase Of
$40 percent and is 1875 percent above
the same month in 1881. The New
York Central reported a gain Of 81
384,965 in operating net, which is
1900 percent above the 1882 figure.
These figures expose clearly enough
the treachery of the railroad labor
chiefs in extending the 10 percent
cut when all financial forecasts we're
counting on the governments infia-
ton acts to start buying boom. They
show up for what it is worth the
statement made by one Of the chiefs
when the coordinator bill was pas
sed. He said: Il don't see how they
are to effect economies under this bill
when they can't lay off any one I. i. I.
The obstruction placed in the path
Of the railroads to get down to rock
bottom and save money will bust
them in another year and the gov
eminent will have to take them over
anyhow" Instead of busting them
the government seems to be lining
their pockets with gold.
Other "Favors' for Owners.
During the hearings on reorganiz-
ing the bankrupt Wabash Railway
Pennsylvania controlled), it came
to light that the late president, w
H. Williams received what are called
extraordinary payments" of $685.
$50. Mr.. Williams, who died late in
1881, received from the Wabash
s183 1893 in 1880. OF tdis, 100000 was
for special services and the rest for
salary. During the first nine months
Of 1881, he received s76,0 03 from the
Wabash. The rest of the fortune
came from the Missouri Pacific and
other Wabash subsidiaries.
Among recent "favors" handed the
roads by the government is a tax
refund Of s729,182 for the Norfolk
g. Western controlled by Pennsyl-
vania Railroad.

HAMPDEN RETURN
IN TWO GREAT ROLES.

waiter 1dmpOen, whose CVrdnO
de Bergerac was the high light of
the first part of the current theat-
rical season throughout America,
is now on transcontinental tour
for the first time with two other of
his great successes, "CaponSacchi,"
which has been called a companion
piece to Cyrano, and the immortal
Hamlet"
"Caponsacchi," like "Cyrano," is
a play of great souls and noble
deeds, of a man who loves where
he can never expect to win, but
risks life, position, honor, to succor
and serve her whom he adores.
Written by Arthur Goodrich and
based on Robert Browning's incom-
parable epic, The Ring and the
Book" "Caponsacchi" carries the
spectator back to one of the blood
lest periods of seventeenth century
Italy, with its lusts, hatreds and in
trigue, and, through medium of a
murder trial in the Vatican court, re-
vealS a romance so exalted that in
Italy it is placed beside that OF
Dante and Beatrice, and Petrarch
and Laura.
In Giuseppe CaponSacchi, the
soldier saint" or warrior priest"
whose championship of the beau
tiful and prosecuted Pompllia Com
parini led him to transgress the
laws of church and state only to
be indicated in the end by the
pope himself, Mr.. Hampden has
role of magnificent scope and vari-
ETY., presenting him not only as
priest but as cavalier and mounte-
bank as well. This is role which
he has played over 500 times.
Hamlet" always has been Mr..
Hampden's major Shakespearean
Characterization. This role, too, he
has played upward of 500 times, be-
ginning in. London when he was
25-the youngest Hamlet ever seen
in the English theater.
Mr.. Hampden will play "Capon-
sacchi" at English's Friday and Sat-
urday night, Feb. "a and 25, with a
matinee of Hamlet" on Saturday.
