Back TO the Land Theme
of "OMr Daily Bread

With "Our Daily, Bread" which
United Artists brings to the Rialto
fer previsw tonight, King Vidor
becomes a full-fledged producer in
his own right. Taking up where
THE Crowd" left off, this new pic
ture follows the theme of black to
the land"
Featuring Karen Merely, Tom
Keene, Barbara Pepper and John
Qualen, Our Daily Bread" has
been given special musical score
by Alfred Newman. Following the
lead of the Soviet and German di-
rectors, King Vider uses this mu-
steal accompaniment to heighten
his effects, especially in the climax
where there is practically no dia-
logue-sound carrying out almost
the entire emotional buildup.
AS in his other successes, King
Wider strives for camera effects, ant
Planck's photography in Our Daily
Bread has been hailed as out
standing.
Supplementing the run of @Our
Daily Bread" at the Rialto, Red
Republic" a reel of colerful and in
innate closeups Of the Soviet Union
by Margaret Bourke White, will be
shown.

Capitalism a CaneerOus
Growth on Telling
Mankind
tspeolal . De DaIIy WoEkerl


MOSCOW, Sept. %. (By Wire
less).-In a letter Of greeting sent
to the Second American Anti-War
and Anti Fascist Congress, which
closed yesterday in Chicago, BY
Maxim Gorky, world famous Soviet
writer, he compares the decay of
capitalism with the fresh health Of
Socialism in the Soviet Union.
Among other things, Gorky de-
elares:
Capitalists are zealously prepar-
ing for a new world slaughter. This
means that tens of millions of work
ers and peasants will again be de-
stroyed, that millions of tons of
metal will be used for slaughtering
people, that the fruitful soil will be
poisoned by gases and that many
cities and towns will be destroyed.
THE leaders of fascism, which
carries out the criminal will of capi-
talists, claim that war will accom-
pany the history of nations for CEN
turtles. The term nation means,
in reality, many tens of millions of
manual laborerS working for the
benefit of a few thousand bankers,
money-merchants and manufac-
turers who. by means of the hands
of hah-starved workers. prepare
weapons, footwear, clothing and
food for themselves" Gorky states.
A Misunderstanding CAPITAL
1.-THE term nation includes mil
lions of BRAIN workers who labor to
enrich capitalists, to strengthen
their power and to amuse them.
Every intelligent person who is de-
termined to think honestly about
the meaning of the relationship of
capital to labor must inevitably
realize that capitalism has done
all it cam and is now canceyous
growth on toiling mankind, and that
capitalists represent an interna-
tional organization of thieves and
murderers," he continues.
"a whole series of facts indicates
that brain workers become entire
ly superhuous ballast in capitalist
culture. Here is one more fresh
fact illustrating fruitless labor for
capitalism:
September IL: At a meeting
Of the British scientific associ-
alton, Engineer James Hender-
son made a very interesting dis
closure. which characterizes the
conditions under which the sci
enlist must work in capitalist
countries.
Henderson complained that
large firms are buying up inyen-
tons and then deliberately de-
strey them, in order to avoid the
expense of development, and at
the same time keep the inyen-
ton cut of the hands of their
competitors. Thus have been lost
many valuable inventions. Hen
dersen declared that the owners

the accusations we're correct, but,
by way Of Justification, argued
that these new inventions would
make obsolete very expensive pro-
ductive equipment"
"a Simple Christian Calculation"
Apart from crimes approved by
bourgeois laws, such as plundre
through the system of direct and
indirect taxation, stock-exchange
money-juggIing, the manipulation
of commodity prices and the de-
struction Of manufacturers sur
pluses before the eyes of the semi
starving workers, the creation of
mass unemployment, ETC., we re-
member that during 1914 and 1918
the War-industriahsts Of France,
Great Britain. Germany, ETC., traded
with each other in metal and ex-
changed inventions for the better
destruction of soldiers Gorky adds
Such exchanges, such business
trades, are substantiated facts. No
doubt they will be repeated in flu
ture wars. For, Notwithstanding
competition among themselves. the
munitions magnates are not nearly
SO much interested in the victory
of one over the other, as they are
in trade with each other. Further
more, they begin to realize that the
best that the history of the growth
of capitalism has produced, is the
growth of revolutionary preletariat.
Therefore-the more proletarians
are destroyed, the longer will be
put off the final doom Of capital
ism-s simple and clear Christian
calculation.
Every war of national groups of
capitalists is inevitably the war of
the proletariat against itself. The
proletariat is the only force capable
of changing the world for the COM
mon welfare of its entire telling
people. Tt is time that brain work
ere understood this" Gorky adds
further.
History constantly brings all
mankind closer and closer to a de-
cisive clash between the proletariat
and capitalism; and we need not
be prophets to state confidently that
this clash will terminate with the
death of capitalism" he emphasizes.
"The inhuman and senseless ac-
lions Of the capitalists are incor-
rigible. The rapidity of the de-
struction and the fall of the weight
Of the capitalist world is governed
by this memorable law of physics
the lower a weight falls, the faster
it falls.
Alongside this process, the or
ganization of the Socialist State by
the proletarist on the enormous
area Of the Soviet Union proceeds
more and more rapidly. The success
of this work has the UNREASONABLE
aim Of the emancipation of the toll
erS of the whole world. 1t is time
that brain workers decide on which
of the two sides they stand"

.MWIU Pamphlet
Explains Program
OF Hiring Halls
CENTRALIZED SHIPPING BU-
REAU, published by the Marine
Workers Industrial Union. Price
2 cents.
Reviewed by ]. A.

Here is a pamphlet that is Of in
tsrest and value to every worker,
not only longshoremen and seamen.
1t shows a method of creating the
united front in the trade union field,
and on the job.
The program for the Centralized
Shipping Bureau or Hiring Halls, in
the case of longsheremen, was one
of the major demands OF the Pacific
Coast strike. Enthusiasm for it is
sweeping the Atlantic Coast sea-
men. Over TOO seamen signed petit
tons for it in one day in New York
alone.
This pamphlet contains really two
stories. One is how the longshore-
men of Everett, Washington, de-
Feloped the hiring hall, where each
man got work in turn, without any
discrimination or graft, and that
Of the seamen in Baltimore, who
conducted a similar organization.
An elected committee of seamen,
regardless of union affiliation, ran
the bureau. They registered all sea-
men and the mass of men stood by
their committee. Thus for a period
of time, as per cent of the ships
sailing out of Baltimore had to get
their crews through the bureau
This meant to the seamen that they
could ship without paying graft to
shipping sharks, that union men
could ship without fear of black
list, etc.
OF course, the shipping owners did
not like this. 1t is almost like read
ing thriller" to read of the steps
they took to break the bureau
Rivers of free whiskey, prostitutes,
government agents. nothing was
barred by the bosses in their efforts
to demeralize the men. But the
men stood firm and wiped out the
dives created by the agents of the
bosses. They stood firm with their
committee until the end.
1t was the failure to build similar
bureaus in the other major ports
that resulted in the temporary de-
feat Of the Baltimore bureau. The
bosses stopped hiring in Baltimore
and at great expense brought in
scabs fran other cities, under armed
protection.
The pamphlet is part of a cam
paign to establish these halls in the
major ports. 1t tells how this is
TO be done and what can be gained
from it.
With an Atlantic marine strike
only matter OF a few days, this
pamphlet comes like rain in the
drought Every Party unit on the
waterfrant should see that each
worker on the concentration docks
gets a capy. Undoubtedly it will
help thsss workers to break through
the strike, preventing moves Of their
misleaders,

3,O90 STUDENTS AT NEW
YORK WORKERS SCHOOL

With the first week of the fall
term over we find that 5000 stu
dents attended classes at the New
York Workers School, IS East IL
Street. Of this number 1900 are
registered for Principles of Com
munism. This course is so popular
that the twenty classes originally
prepared were Immediately filled
necessitating the opening of eight
additional classes in Principles
which in turn were also filled in
two evenings of registration. Only
the lack of space prevented the
opening of more such classes. Due
to this unfortunate fact, hundreds
were turned away. 1t is quite clear
that an important task of the New
York Workers School, in order to
satisfy the needs of the future army
of workers seeking the weapon of
theory in the class struggle is to
exert every effort and sacrifice for
the erection of a Workers School
sufficiently big in size to hold the
many hundreds now kept away be-
cause of insufficient space.
The first of a series of Short
Term Courses will begin this SAT
urday, October 9Th, 2 pm, at the
Workers Schoal of New York, S.
East IL Street. Clarence Hathaway,
editar of the Daily Worker, will lee
ture on The Economics and Politics
of Fascism and Social FaseisYn. This
course is still open for registration.
The regular Sunday forums,
which is an important feature of
the School, will begin this Sunday,
October 7th, on the End floor. Com
rade Jack Stachel, Acting National
Secretary, Trade Union Unity
League, will speak on "The Present
Wave Of Strike Struggles and the
Tasks of the Trade Union" Admis-
sion is 25 cents. Students who pre-
sent their Workers School admis-
sion cards and members Of the
Friends of the Workers School who
present their membership books,
are admitted for 20 cents.
