tradition is Of foreign-language
character. It was not until about two
years ago that the formation of such
chCruses in the English language was
undertaken with any degree Of Sc
.icusness and consistency.
Briefly. we can say that from their
drst appearance to this day, work
crs' choruses have sung anything
1rom sentimental folk songs and
naive workers songs to the short
revolutionary cantata and, finally the
revolutionary o-atorio, employing a
-arge chorus and symphony or
cheStra.
The workers singing organizations
almost all along the line kept up with
the development Of political strug-
giles of the working class. The songs,
quite naturally became more direct;
beth in words and occasionally in
music; they've definitely begun to
Zeal with the concrete problems that
cro=e in the course Of the many class
ccttlcs. AS the groups developed, SO
lid the realization that our songs
',~ve 4 6o4io'te purpc-e. They have
to reject and project the struggles OF
the working class both in a general
IS well as 2 specific way. They reaI-
.zed that the days when a workers
charus ives content with appealing
before its audience three or four
Zines a season at most, were gone.
Today cur groups appear at least
once a week and quite often much
more frequently, Our repertoire needs
constant freshening up. Our groups
crow in numbers and IN variety.

Whenever I go down to the post

The development Of Olga Colony
has given the Texan Fascists high
hopes for the future. Congressman
Pat jefferson, for instance, advocates
the placing Of transient camps at
each railway station in order that
the 5000 destitute men and women
Of Texas may be placed in them as
East as they come of trains and roads.
''They should not be allowed to go
into the towns" he has stated. If
. person wishes to leave camp, ne
should be allowed to beard a train
only to ride on to the next one"
Jeferson's idea Of dealing with the
homeless is to have a splendid" de-
Iousing apparatus in each camp. Out
side of that his chief concern seems
to be an anxiety to ask the inmates
Of the camps their opinion Of the
/ present form Of government. THE
transients are a broken-down, demor-
allied lot, thinking now only OF self
preservation" Rep. Jefferson explains.
Most Of the occupants Of Olga
Colony, lulled by their temporary
security, and robbed Of their sense
Of self-reliance and confidence by the
tyrannic2l patsrnaLsm Of the camp,
have net yet realized the degradation
md danger to which their regimentad
ives in the colony is subjecting them.
But to workers elsewhere, Olga
Colony stands as an object lesson in
| the dangers of Fascism.

What Songs Should Workers Choruses Sing

the repertoire used by the "club
chorus"
The advanced choruseS do not pay
5uficient attention to the mass song.
The latter has great possibilities and
it is easy to learn. Already many new
songs are being written by the revo-
lu5ionaTy composers Of this country.
The Forthcoming publication by the
Workers Music League Of a new song
book will include mass choral and
sclo songs. Nevertheless, songs can
not be supplied fast enough to fill
the truly gargantuan appetites OF
cur singing groups.
HOW is this gap to be filled? We
III must draw on number Of sources:
IN exchange and translation of revo-
Iut;onary songs in different Ian
~uages. TIE Soviet Union and pre-
TIitleIite Germany have produced
Tcms of the best examples of songs.
In this country we have a virtually
untapped source Of folk songs which
could be arranged, both for the
Club as well as the advanced cho-
rus. Nero songs of protest, work
songs, railroad songs, cowboy and hill
9cngs. These would be a colo-ful ad-
diticn to our repertoire. Such an
ooprc~ ch would carry us, long way
toward roofing our work in the ira
1ttion o. American music. 1t would
Give TIE lie to those who insist that
oir music is nothing but an importa-
ton from the outside. 1t will be the
task Of revolutionary composers to
learn the needs and desires Of the
working claes and create music suf-
dcient in quantity as well as dis
tinctive in quality, so that workers
chorusss from the smallest to the
'argest--thst w7~lIer5' audiences will
declare: This is our musicl''

Olga, the "Model" Transient Camp in Texas

THE New Deal" is putting the
1 penniless boys and girls Of the
country into forced labor camps.
Until now the Federal government
has paid entirely for these camps, but
now State and Federal officials are
displaying interest in "seR-help" Or
CARNATIONS. These are so called
merely because they free the govern
ment from the responsibility of
financing them.
Certain Texas officials have de-
veloped one such camp-Diga Colony.
For six months it has been lauded in
newspapers all over the United States
as the ''model' transient camp. and
It Is run on a "self-help'' basis.

WHAT should a workers chorus
w sing?
In the past, during the period of
growth of Socialist choirS, almost any
song was suitable for performance
at a choral concert. The clacs con-
flictS were not as sharp as they are
today. The Socialist leadership Of a
workers chorus found it perfectly
feasible to sing even such works as
the Messiah and similar compost
lions.
The problem as to what q workers
chorus should sing is closely bound
up with the nature of the particular
group; its peculiar functions. Rough
ly we can divide our workers cho-
ruses in two main categories: 1.-THE
Club Chorus; 2-The more ad-
vanced chorus-a group whose sing
ing Is not just "anothe--" activity Of
q club, but is the major work of the
group, as an integral part of the
revolutionary workers movement.
THE aforementioned category COM
prises, undoubtedly, the largest
number of workers singing organ-
cations. Their repertoire, in the main,
he's consisted (and we must consider
what they have been singing in the
past before any proposals are made
or fuiu~e @u'@"ree) Of me and two
voice songs. In the field of revolu-
tionary songs in English the most
typical ones are Comintern, Sand
Guerd. The Scott1boro Boys Shall
Not Die, Sens of Wrath, etc. In ether
'anguages the repertoire is of a SINH
lar nature. All those songs are of
a very direct character, and what
ever their musical merit. thev ex-
pres at least in words the struggles
and aspirations OF the working class.
