mounts new musical hit which
heads the double feature program
at Warmers Strand Sunday ia
Thursday.
Several of the dances performed
{ by the chorus also are worthy Of
note. "New Deal Rhythm" par
ticularly shows what can be done
with interpretative dancing. The
number, which endeavors to ex-
plain the increased tempo OF
American life under the impetus

chorus of fifty in a typical pre-
depression jazz number. Through
trick photography the girls frilly
costumes changed into full dress rs

Again the costumes change and
the girls are seen as farmers and
workers demanding their rights.
The dance ends as, dressed in mill

June knight, Lillian Roth and
Cliff Edwards play the parts of

gagement To-day

"Flying Down to Rio" the
might musical extravaganza, with
it's flying chorines, its soaring
pianos, its marimbolas and choci-
alos, literally knocks the spots off
anything that has been presented
hereabouts under the title of a
musical, 1t will be the attraction at
Polls until Tuesday night and
capacity audiences will be the rule.
Equally astonishing is the fact
that this production has a story
and unlike other musical pictures
it strays away from the hackneyed
theme Of back-stage, for relief.
An all-star cast headed by
Dolores Del Rio, Gene Raymond,
Raul Roulien, Fred Astaire, Ginger
Rogers and others Of like import
ance, besides the above there is
also a chorus Of 200 stunning beau
ties, chosen from over 10000 ap-
plicants and sure to provide a gen.
erous share of beauty to the film.
The film also marks the film
debut Of Fred Astair, as a COM
edian, this talented gentleman you
will remember as Joan Crawford's
dancing partner in Dancing Lady"
in this picture he plays a comedy
role and, you will be anxiously
awaiting his next endeavor.
Flying Down To Rio" is laden
with punch scenes; first there is
the most spectacular scenes ever
filmed, that of girls going through
dance routines on the wings of
giant planes high in the skies,
adagio dancers going through
their routines and throwing their
partners from the wing of one
plane to another, another treat
bound to cause sensation in Wa
terbury and vicinity Is the new
dance from the Pampas "The
Caricca" absolutely the warmest
dance ever. Years ago this territory
gave us the tango and the "Caric-
ca" will put that to shame, pre-
scented with it's own native music 1t
will drive all of Waterbury mel
doy Lad as it is doing the rest of
the country.
"Flying Down to Rio" will be
shown for days only. AS the
print to be shown in Waterbury
must be in New York for showing
at the Roxy theater on Thursday,
1t will be impossible to keep it
here any longer. Make your plans
now to attend Polls and see this

Silk Workers
Hail w alkOut
OF NJ. Dyers
Especial to the Daily worker

PATERSON, N. J., Sept. 21.-Silk
strikers today cheered the an
nouncement at the mass meeting
that the dyers, after more than
two weeks of delay, would strike
Monday morning.
Workers heard Boldanzi, presi-
dent of the Federation of Dyers,
state that it was not fault of
of the dye workers that the strike
did not come earlier. He also stated
that when another agreement was
made he hoped that it would ex-
pire at the same time for both silk
and dye workers. A member of the
Essex County Trades and Labor
Council, who is also International
Secretary of the Bakers Union,
promised the silk workers the sup
port of his organization in the tex
tile strike and announced that
within several weeks a sympathy
strike would be called of 600 bakers
in Passaic.
A militant silk worker who forced
Keller. Lovestonite official, to give
him the floor this morning, reflected
the sentiments of silk workers here
when he pointed out that much
damage has already been done by
the long delay in calling the dye
strike. This worker further pointed
out that silk workers were not held
back by contract, which bosses had
already violated, and that contract
should not have prevented earlier
strike of dyers.
In connection with the dyers'
walkout scheduled for Monday, the
Communist Party. of Paterson,
issued leaflet to the dyers today
which called upon them to strike
Monday-join the general strike, re-
ject arbitration-SmaSh the injunc-
ton on the picket line" The leaf
let also stated in part:
First, demand that your shop
chairman call shop meeting i'm
mediately. Second, men and women
dye workers, picket your own dye
houses under the leadership of your
strike committee Monday morning
Third, fight for your demands in
the new agreement"

ing today to move openly for an end

Winant inquiry board.
Despite the fact that the striking
textile workers, from far North to
the deep South, have risked and
suffered assassination from both
National Guard and private thugs,
the U. T. w. leadership had the
temerity to applaud a report that

In East Ports
Strike Oct. 8
Longshore Rank, File
Push New Agreement,
Oppose Ryan

NEW YORK.-The date Of a
strike of 10000 seamen of the At
lantic and Gulf regions has been
set for october 8, in a call issued
yesterday by the International Sea-
mems Union.
The Marine Workers Industrial
Union endorsed the I. S. u. call
but added call to licensed officers
and seamen of lines exempted in
the I. S. U. call.
Victor CHAMBER, secretary of the
I. s. u, sped to Washington yes
terday to meet with the officials
of the National Labor Relations
Board, indicating that the I. S. U.
officials intend to use this strike
to force the companies to negoti-
ate with them for recognition of
their union and probably submit
the economic issues to arbitration.
Longshore Strike Looms
The M. w. I. U. pointed out to
seamen, in its call and in confer
ences of the officials of the union
held with ships delegates, that
there is possibility of a longshore-
mems strike in the same region on
October l. The M w. I. U. states
that if this strike materializes the
seamen should respond on that
date.
The NJ w. I. U. statement out
lined definite preparatory steps to
be taken by all seamen, irrespective
of union affiliation, together with
the unorganized to carry the strike
through under rank and file lead
ership in joint strike committees,
such as led the recent West Coast
strike.
The economic demands of the
I. S. U. call are lower than those
drafted at the Atlantic Unity Con-
ference in Baltimore on Sep. Q.
These demands were endorsed by
crews of SO ships, in addition to
the delegates of 5000 seamen, long
shoremen and radio operators.
Licensed Men Called
Besides the demands of the I'M
licensed men presented by the
M. w. I. u, it calls for the licensed
men to strike and present their
demands for wage increases and
improvement of working conditions.
A vital issue in this strike will be
the winning of shipping halls in
all parts, controlled by an elected
committee of seamen.
The M. w. I. U. states that the
strike must demand the recognition
of the unions of the seamen's choice
and to ensure enforcement of the
demands, recognition of ships COM
mittees, representing all depart
ment, and unions of the men on
each ship. These committees are to
be empowered to enforce safety
conditions to prevent a repetition of
the Moro Castle tragedy.
Below are the general demands
of the strike as formulated by the
Atlantic Unity Conference and en-
dorsed by the M. w. I. u.
Deck-boatswain, s85; carpenter, s85
quartermaster, sS2 so; able seamen, s75
ordinary seamen, $50 for the first year.
and SO increase for each succeeding year;
deck boy rating to be abolished Higher
wages for boatswain and carpenters on
passenger ships.

and storekeepers, s85; firemen toiD, SIS;
