Penetrating Little Italy
BY HELEN SHERIDAN

NEW YORK.-In the heart of
Greenwich Village, off Washington
Square Park, lie number of
squalid, densely populated streets.
They constitute the fringe of an
italian ghetto section, known as
Little Italy. For years Little Italy
had been considered difficult or
ganizstionally. Not that these
Italian workers had escaped the
devastating effects of the crisis nor
that there was any lack of poverty,
misery and disease. Only vague
feeling tthat the men were under
the influence of anarchistic and
syndicalist notions, or were touched
with a patriotic fascism, accen-
tuated By pride in LaGuardia's
ascension to power. And the wo-
men, in Latin fashion, chung
closely to home, lacking all interest
in general problems.
Since January, this picture has
suddenly changed. A club, known
as the Lower West Side Workers
Club, has opened its doors, and in
the short space of two months has
electrified the neighborhood with
its militant activities, centering
primarily around the question of
unemployment and relief. On Feb.
5 and IS, the members of the club
joined the general city-wide dem
onstrations, and on March 5th, sent
a delegation of twenty-five mem
bers to the Home Relief Bureau,
Spring and Elizabeth SITS, winning
recognition Of their unemployment
committee as well as food and rent

Another outstanding poem in
Dynamo" is"The Pattern of Our
Lives" by Edwin Rolfe, who puts
into poetic form a theme familiar
to most Of the younger American
comrades who have spent even a
few years in the revolutionary
movement. It is the theme Of
childhood companions with whom
we once had everything in common,
but who have graduated into the
professions, and who are now COM
pletely foreign to US; when we meet
them we feel like shouting impa-
tiently:
Weaklings, fools,
poor slow deluded-this our last
spent breath of pity. At the tools,
comrades!
You who were my friends
Go under!
Send me letters from the heaven

In the same number is a poem
by c. Day Lewis, one of the most
promising of the younger English
poets who are turning away from
the negation Of their predecessors
toward the revolutionary move
ment. Lewis will be remembered
for these lines from THE Conflict. /"
which appeared in an English
magazine:
Move then with new desires,
For where we used to build and
love
Is no mans land, and only ghosts
can live
Between two fires.
One word of caution and criticism
should be made of the contents of
this journal. People to whom poetry
may be a strange neighborhood
should not be nisled by the COM
pleXity of expression in some of the
poems Of Dynamo" 1t is true that
many revolutionary poets bring
with them the excuses to which
bourgeois poetry has been driven:
some of their poetic feelings and
ideas are expressed so subjectively
or so vaguely as to be completely
unintelligible. There is such writ
ing in Dynamo; see. for example.
the opening lines of Theory of
Flight" by Muriel Rukeyser. Our
revolutionary poets must rid their
work of these unsocial traits. On
the other hand, genuinely profound
poetry, like profound economics, is
not simple and must sometimes be
studied carefully-and will reward
such study. Examples of this type
OF writing may also be found in
Dynamo"
AS a whole, the present number,
edited by S. Funaroff and other
revolutionary poets, is a better lob
of editing than the preceding issue.
1t is easy to imagine some of the
sacrifices endured by these writer's
in publishing this magazine at a
time when subsidies-even of bour-
geois publications-are events of the

cases. Preceding the visit to the
Home Relief Bureau a mass dem
onstration and open air Meeting
was held on Sixth Ave. and Blocker
ST., and small delegation was sent
to see Colonel DeLaMater to pro-
test the discrimination against
Italian workers on c. w. A. Jobs.
AS a social and cultural center
the club is a huge success. In the
colorfully painted club-room on 107
MacDougall St., excellent meals are
served at proletarian prices, pre-
pared by an unemployed chef
member Of the club. A dance is
held every Saturday night. Lee
lures on current topics in English
and Italian are held on Sunday
evenings. Glasses in Principles of
Communism and in English take
place on Thursdays. A sports club
for the youth Of the neighborhood
is in the process of formation, and
a Pioneer troupe has already been
launched.
All the members of the club are
active canvassing among the neigh
borhood unemployed. Those who
