Committee Makes Plan
to Send Delegates
to Washington
By Tom keenan,

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Dec. "a. -
Eighty-one delegates attended the
district conference on unemploy-
ment insurance in Walton Hall Sat-
urday to lay plans for broadening
the campaign for delegates to the
National Congress for Unemploy-
msnt Insurance in Washington on
January and complete arrange
ments for transportation to the cap
ital. Seventy-two organizations, with
a total membership of 100000, were
represented The tabluation of the
arrangements committee showed u
official delegates now registered for
the national conference.
Twenty three locals of the Unem-
ployment Councils sent one delegate
each, of which 18 noW elected will
make the trip to Washington; nine
local unions, representing a mem
bership of 5,709, sent IL delegates to
the meeting here, eight of whom are
Washington delegates; the other as
delegates represented Al different
fraternal and beneficial associations,
all of them delegates to the National
Congress.
Egan Reports
James Egan, district representa-
tive on the national arrangements
committee, made the main report,
citing the. permanent character of
the present need for unemployment
insurance and outlining the fnobil-
ization already carried through in
the district.
Egan pointed out the terrible con-
ditions and actual starvation of
those on relief in Allegheny County,
the red tape of the welfare set-up,
the police terror and brutality with
which the employers meet demands
of the unemployed workers, and the
railroading of leaders which has sent
Phil Frankfeld to Jail for four years.
Herbert Benjamin, representing
the Committee for the National
Congress, supplemented the appeal
for broad representation, tracing the
national picture of relief and wage
cutting which faces the workers to-
day, and outlining the plans already
laid for the Washington meeting.
Resolution Backs Bill
After broad discussion by various
delegates, resolution was adopted
to endorse the principles of i'm
cyment and social insurance as
outlined in the call for the National
L gre5s," and to carry out the de-
c. ems of the National Congress for
this territory" Other resolutions
,aLed for release of all political pris-
cners, and condemned the public re-
lations Office for refusal to recognize
the committees of unemployed.
e committee of 35 was set up to
carry on the work of making final
arrangements for the Washington
trip, with headquarters at 522 Court
Place, Pittsburgh.
Round trip to Washington from
Pittsburgh will cost $6.25 per dele
gate, with 200 delegates needed to
charter the train. For this reason

reservations as soon as possible at
the above address.

SLIPS or SITS per day for board and
lodging, delegates being free to
choose which class of lodging they
desire. Train tickets will be good
for return anytime within seven days

intend to stay over for the Unem-
ploynent Council National Conven-
ton, Jan. 8 and g.

Works at High Pressure
to Disrupt Unity of
the Working Class

the Leagues and numerous other I'M
employed organizations dominated
by Socialists, Musteites, delegates
have been elected by national fra
ternal organizations involving hun
dreds of thousands of members
among the italian workers, Slovak
workers, delegates have been elected
from numerous branches of the Elks,
Odd Fellows, church organizations,
millions are already represented in
the elected delegates. But Lovestone
contributes his share in building
this movement by going Green one
better in his denunciations. Why?
There can be only one reason. Be-
cause Loyestone is furious that the
Party is able to initiate and develop
such movements, while he and his
little group become more and more
isolated and defeated.
But Lovestone is not finished He
has something more to say. He com
ments also on the point in the agree
ment reached between the S.P. COM
rades in the South and the C.P. on
the question of the organization of
the unorganized and the building
Of the unions. He says.
ION what basis-on the basis of
the disruptive union wrecking pro-
gram sponsored by the C.P. in the
u IF T unions ~. ~, +Iaa I,oe,e
of the program of constructive
union-building championed by the
progressive forces in the unions?"
1t is hardly necessary to comment
at length on this provocative state
ment intended to make easier the
expulsion policy announced by Green
and carried on in the needle trades
by Dubinsky and the Lovestonite
Zimmerman. Is this not the reason
given by Green, VOL and Co., in
their attack on the Communists in
the trade unions? Is this not the
argument used by the Hearst press
and the Civic Federation in their
call for the expulsion of the Com
mupists from the unions? Not Lewis
and German are responsible for
wrecking the unions in the South
and elsewhere, but the Communist
Party. Compare this with what
Lovestone wrote about the A. F. Of
L. bureaucrats and the SIP. leader
ship when he was still member of
the Communist Party. AS for the
constructive work in the A. F. of l..
unions carried on by the Loveston-
ties, both Zimmerman and Keller
furnish some very good examples
with which our readers are already
acquainted. They are the tools of
the Dupinskys and Germans, the
shock troops in the fight against the
Communists and all militant work
ers.
Lovestone in his article says re-
garding the Gitlow-Zam grouplet
that was born in the womb Of the
Lovestone group and which now
joined the SIP:
"Gitlow, Fam and their one-sixth
of bakers dozen, through their
entry into the SIP, have become
small but scurrilous force for
the Right. THIS is ALWAYS
THE CASE WITH THOSE WHO
ARE INVERTED BACK
WARDS. Emphasis mine-J.. s.
Evidently Lovestone was looking
in the mirror but yet his vision was
SO blinded that instead of seeing
himself and but little more than
a sixth Of a bakers dozen he saw
WARDS. Emphasis mine-J. s.

Laughs, Chuckles Abound in New Musical Com
 edy Take a Chance

The adventures for four side show entertainers who try their luck on Broadway, is divertingly told in Take a Chance" the Para mount musical film which is fea- tred tonight at the Capitol Ths- ater.
 The quartette, composed of James Dunn, June Knight, Cliff Edwards and Lillian Roth find that the Great White Way isn't much diff ferent from Main Street after all and climb to the top of the ladder by means of a series of hilarious episodes which kept last nights au- dienee in an uproar.
 It wouldn't be fair to tell you much more of the storys Suffice to say that the supporting cast, com posed of Charles Buddy" Rogers, Lillian Bond, Lona Andre, Robert Gleckler, and Charles Richmond, do justice to their roles, and that the locale of the story ranges from a smal-town carnival to a ritzy gambling club, out with the socially elite of Long Island and back to Broadway.
 But it's the music and the chor- us which makes sTake Chance" really ou st anding. Laurence Schwab, Willia m Rowland and Monte Brice, who made the picture in the East, had all New York to call on for talent and as a result gathered together a group of song writers and lyracists which reads like a Who's Who of Tin Pan Alley and group of girls which has graced several Follies and also the stage version o f Take a Chance"

TALENTS OF

Joan Crawford to Do Some Fancy Stepping-Othe
 Are Given Chances
By ROBBIN CooNs

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Oct. 18.-- Neglected talents of certain stars are due to come to light in new pictures, and the idea, if carried out generally, would have amusing and interesting results.
 Joan Crawford, who danced her way into pictures and then went heavily melodramatic, got her twin kling toes in shape again in Dane ing Lady" and now is to do some fancy stepping in her new film with William Powell and Franchot Tone. ~e
 Ann Southern, whose big hit was in Lets Fall in Love- as a sing CT, merely talked and acted in sev- eral pictures that followed, but in Kid Millions the voice rings out again.
 Ann Dvorak, who danced her way up from the chorus, recently de- cided she wanted to dance some more and take a rest from the leading lady roles that have been hers since her hit in "Scarface.' D Ginger Rogers, on the other hand, got tired of so much dancing and insisted on chance to act. ~ HOW IT MIGHT LINE UP

ILARITY AND l. LAUGHS ABOUND IN NE W FARCE
The Party's Over Com ing to Coliseum Is De-
 lightful Comedy

That great American institution the family-provides the butt for hilarious farce in Columbia's "The Party's Over" coming tonight to the Coliseum Theatre.
 Based on the successful Broad way stage play by Daniel Russell, screen adapter of Three Cornered Moon" The Party's Over" sympa- thetically and laughably unfolds the family history of the intrac- table Blakelys.
 Stuart Erwin has the leading role as the financially successful big brother who supports an indolent but well-meaning father, a scape- grace brother in college, a mother wrapped up in women's clubs and super patriotic activities. and a frivolous, extravagant little sister in love with a would-be radio crooner. To escape the family tur- moil and forget his troubles Erwin spends his Sundays and holidays daubing. canvasses with a paint brush. Then the girl Ann Sothern, singing star of the recent Let's Fall In Love" secretly submits a canvas for exhibition. It wins an award and she shows him a new life for which he had craved while he ground himself away as a fam fly breadwinner.
 Catharine Doucet, playing the mother, exhibits the subtle art in comic characterization which won her great success on Broadway. She is credited with stealing the show in her only previous picture, "As Husbands Co.," and now her de- lightful comedy work in "The Par tvs Over" promises to gain her fan popularity not exceeded by that of May Robson or Marie Dressler.
 The remainder of the cast in- cludes Airline Judge, Billy Bake well, Esther Muir, Chick Chandler and Patsy Kelly.
