you wouldn't talk like that"
Gunnar looked at the Professor in
disgust. "This is just a glorious ad-
venture for him; he doesn't have to
work"
The Professor suddenly became a
proletarian. "Who doesn't have to
work? My fathers money has no.

No use getting excited" laughed
jackson, "your remark shows that
you aren't awake to realities"
well" snorted the Professor,
"you can't show me where such con-
ditions exist in the States"
"No? How about the chain gangs
in Georgia and Florida? How about
the kids working in the textile fac
tories in the South? How about the
Negro children in the cotton and
tobacco fields? How about the chill
dren in the sugarbeet fields, and on
the streets of the big cities, begging
food and junk, peddling papers,
shining shoes?"
Stanley pointed his finger at the
Professor. "And l can tell you a
chapter or two myself. Down in
Houston, Texas, l was picked up
for "vag" and made to work so
days on the pea farm-from morn
ing to nights hours a day. Man,
and if you didn't step on it, they
put the rubber hose to your back.
And after thirty dayS of that forced
labor, do you know what we got
for it?"
Thirty cents?" laughed Jackson.
"Thirty hell! Those bastards took
me and bunch of others to the
end of the town and told US if they
caught US again they'd give us six
months of the same! And there were
plenty of poor Negroes in there
longer than that, compelled to do
forced labor!"
Yes" said Slim, "that's another
one of Our proud American institu-
tions, the vagrancy laws. If a man
is thrown out of job through no
fault of his and goes around look
ing for work, he's not only got to
suffer hunger and cold, but is liable
to be picked up as criminal
thrown into jail, and compelled to
work under slave conditions. Hun
dreds of thousands are being treated
like that, with the politicians maxi
ing heavy profits On this convict
labor"

THINGS were getting tighter and
tighter. Old man Heinrich had
been laid off for good. The foreman
had been fired and old man Spies
was looking after the shop and SELL
ing outside at the same time Mike
was the only machinist who made
any time. At first, when there wasn't
even two-hour job in the shop,
they would let Mike put in couple
OF hours shop time, fixing up the old
lathes and sorting out the tools. But
one Friday morning old man Spies

he never got to it. Yet he never

jumped out of bed. The-god-dam-tin-

already stumbling to the door.

They got into old man Spies new
bus and hustled to the shop. When
they got there the heavy truck was all
ready to go. The two helpers and
the other mechanic stayed on the
truck and followed Mike and old
, man Spies down to the waterfront to
the packing house.
Frank, the engineer was walking up
and down rubbing his hands. He saw
them coming and ran over to the
car and opened the door.
"Vot's dmetter, Frenk?" Mike
greeted him jovially. "Y'look vor-

Frank screamed at him. He was al

They went through the yard and
then down into the engine room
Mike liked Frank and he went right
at it. 1t was pretty bad break

canning season, too. For one thing
the piston was almost gone. 1t wasn't
Franks fault. Mike had told the su-
perintendent to have new shaft
put on before the season started.

worked wildly and kept hollering to
them to hurry up. They worked up
the pressure and went after it again
Look out Frank! But he was janlmed
up against the engine. He didn't
have a ghost of a show.
"Uh look. =" Quick as a flash
Mike showed him with one of his
big paws. Another inch and the shaft
would've pinned Frank square.
"Jeesuss krist!" Mike stopped for
a minute, wiped his hand across his

were held in the Fulton Towers, be-
cause the state would accept no
bail for their release. Meanwhile
workers and various organizations
all over the country raised mighty
protest against this vicious unprece-
dented attempt at legal murder,
and this mass pressure forced the
authorities to release these fighters,

past half year.
ALL members of the editorial staff

lilies around the columns of the

confronting the paper. The worker
correspondents gather material on

movement is developing, and q
thorough political training is being
prepared, This development i'm

TASKS OF
WORKER CORRESPONDENTS
The Worker Correspondent must
now more than ever before link up
his reports on the SufferingS of the
working class with the great polit-
ical problems on every front of the
class struggle. The partial Strug-
giles in the shops for every day de-
mandS, the struggle of the jobless
against hunger and cold, have a
different meaning now than be-
fore. The worker correspondents
must be fully conscious of what
this is all about-the winning of
the majority Of the working class
against the fascist dictatorship in
Germany They expose the enc
mics of the working class, the be-
u a Oh ny OliC LNdHLo NldSCLSJSJ, ana
by the reformists, and mobilize the
masses for decisive battles against
capitalism, imperialism and against
imperialist war. They defend the
Soviet Unionl
BOLSHEVIK SELF CRITICISM
And if, besides this, they con-
slider it their most important task
to point with sound Bolshevik self
criticism to the mistakes and short
comingS Of our Party and trade
union work, when they also con-
slider it their most important task
to bring the good examples of the
Party and trade union work, and
particularly the smaller and greater
successes inside The shop and out
side the shop to the light of day
through the "Rote Fahne," then
they are, as Comrade Stain has
characterized them, the leader Of
proletarian public opinion"
With these principles, the Worker

weapon the press can be. During
the last election campaign the
dozens of Farmer Labor newspapers
and special campaign organs played
tremendous role in deceiving
thousands Of workers and farmers
as 10 the Farmer-Labor program.
We, too, can make of our press q
means Of reaching masses Of work
ers, not with deception and social
demagogy as the social-fascistS do,
but as a means of showing the
masses the revolutionary path of
class struggle, teaching them the
correct tactics and methods of the
fight for bread, and bringing them
clarity instead Of confusion.
IF THE role of the Daily Worker
1 in this light is properly under
stood, then the financial drive for
S35,OO0 will be looked upon not
merely as a campaign to raise
money, but a task of the greatest
political importance, because the
financial drive cannot succeed if
together with it there is not
campaign to bring the Daily
Worker to the masses in the
shops and mines. among the un-
employed. and among the inn
pOverished farmers. In order for
the workers to give their last
pennies for the Daily, it must be
made indispensable to them, as
leader and organizer of their
struggles.
Side by side with the financial
drive to save the Daily Worker,
we must build a powerful base for
the paper by means of utilizing it
in every one of our activities, build
its circulation in the shops and in
the working class neighborhoodS
The campaign to save the Daily
Worker cannot be separated from
the struggle for unemployment in
suranCe, against wage cuts, for the
relief of the poverty-stricken farm
ers, and against imperialist war.
The workers and farmers of Min
nesota who already know the Daily
Worker should join Fundamentally
in this campaign, and should collect
for and spread the Daily" among
the broader masses whom the crisis
has radicalized. Without our fight
ing paper all our struggles will
suffer. We must not lose it; if we
go into the drive with all our en-
ergies, our Daily will be saved
and strengthened

Revolutionary Viewpoint in

INTERNATIONAL LITERATURE,

American distributors: Interna-
tional Publishers, 381 Fourth
Avenue, New York. Nos. /,

INTERNATIONAL LITERATURE,
4 magazine formerly published
under the name Literature of the
World Revolution" offers a strik-
ingly concrete illustration of the
class point of view in culture. Pub
lished simultaneously in four Lam
guages-English, German, French,
and Russian-it admirably fulfills
the tasks which the Kharkov Con-
ference of Revolutionary Writers
set up for the international prole-
tartan literary movement. The two
numbers before us contain a rich
selection of significant creative
work by the leading revolutionary
writer's of the world. Besides
stories, plays and short novels deal
ing with the actualities of the class
struggle in different countries, we
also find a comprehensive critical
section, summarizing and analysing
from a Marxist-Leninst standpoint
the development of proletarian re-
irrational expression in the domain
Of art and literature, exposing capi-
talist theology in this field, and
giving theoretical guidance and
leadership to all sections of the /.
U. r. w.
Each issue Of the magazine con-
tains a number of short stories,
sketches and short novels-the
best that is being produced in pro-
letarian literature. In these two
numbers we find stories by v. Stav-
sky, o. Gabrilovitch, Bella lilies, Ed
Falkovski, N. Tikhonov, Teppei
Kataoka, Johannes Becher and
many others. Within the space of
a short review it is impossible to
comment on all of them. 1t should
be noted, however, that almost each
of these narratives is by itself a
concrete example of the synthesis
of class purpose and art. In white
Stone" the Soviet writer, M Chu-
mandrin, describes industrial con-
struction in one of the many new
cities rising in the Soviet Union,
and succeeds in showing the new
socialist relations of production and
the consequent changes in the hui
man consciousness determined by
them. $780," a story dealing with
collectivization in the Caucasus,
presents a powerful picture of an
old Tartar peasant who, despite the
resistance Of his Kulak sons, plays
a leading role in the struggle for
the completion of the sowing plan
