The workers of Cleveland and of the whole

John Pace Secretary of the R. w.

pointed to the growth of the mass
struggle against the cuts and against
the new cuts that the County Emer-

planning August LIST. He proposed
in the name of the Committee of Is
elected at the first conference July

August where the question of a
countrywide strike will be considered.
A high point of the conference
was the report of the delegation Of
five which had gone in to present
the demands to CERA Administra-

Unite Against Boss Terror!

IRON the reports of the Pacific Coast
strike area it is brutally clear that an
immense wave of fascist violence has been
let loose against striking workers and
their militant leaders.
The hideous days of the Infamous Pal
mer raids of the postwar years have again
arrived.
Every brutal instinct of organized hooliganism
and thuggery, every ignorant, degenerate element
of the population, every underworld purveyor OF
hired murder and savagery now find official en-
couragement and incitment from the Roosevelt
government.
Governors, crooked Mayors the press In every
city town and village, and up to the leading
officials of the Roosevelt government, now openly,
brazenly and unrestrainedly call for lynching bees
against the Communist Party all over the country.
The air Of this country is filling with the vast
clouds of fascist poison.
IT IS not only the Communist Party and the
l working class which is menaced by this mon
strous fascist violence whose headquarters the
White House.
It is every decent, honest, healthy element in
American life that is menaced by the mob violence
and reactionary brutality Of the "vigilantes' and
the organized gang raids.
Every civil right every honest intellectual feel
ing, every vestige of what is progressive in this
country faces extinction at the hands of brutality
and ignorance organized and encouraged by the
Federal, State and Municipal governments.
For in their fury against the Communists who
lead the daily struggles Of the working class against
the yoke of capitalist hunger and wage slavery the
capitalist employers trampling and
violating every elementary and democratic right
1t is precisely with just such gang raids against
the Communist Party that the ferocious bands Of
Hitler and Goering strobe to the seats of their
bloody power in Germany
TT is up to every honest person in America to
1 face the fact now that fascism with everything
vile that makes its name hateful, is now advancing
with seven league boots before our very eyes
1t is only in the most tenacious, bitter defense
of the everyday civil rights against the organized
government forces of mob brutality that the march
of fascsm here can be halted.
1t is the most solemn duty of every single
hater of fascist reaction to proceed at to
the nearest telegraph office and wire immediate
protests to Governor Merriam Of California, Mayor
Rossi of San Francisco and President Roosevelt
at Washington, ID. c.
1t is absolutely necessary for every union
local, every organization, club, association,
etc, to meet at for the planning of protest
meetings, and for the wiring of protest resoIu-
tions to the aforementioned people demanding
the immediate stopping Of all anti Communist
raids and the withdrawal Of all troops from the
strike
Intellectuals, professionals, students, writers,
artists, and scientists must lombard the above
officials with kilograms of indignant protest at
the organized mob violence against the Commu-
mist Party and the strikers
Leading writer's and intelectuals must get to-
gether at once for the signing of combined state

All U.S.S.R. Celebrates
18th Anniversary of
Constitution
BY vERN SMITH
Especial to the Daily Worker)

MOSCOW.-The entire press
here is devoting much attention
to the celebrations attendant on
the eleventh anniversary of the
constitution of the Union of So
cialist Soviet Republics adopted in
July, 1923.
In an interview with representa-
tives of the foreign press here,
President Kalinin declared that the
essence of the Soviet constitution
can be expressed very briefly-sup-
preston of the bourgeoisie, liquida-
ton of capitalism and the building
of Socialism. Therein, strictly
speaking, lie the essentials of the
entire policy of proletarian dicta-
torship, Kalinin said.

and California and to the press.
Above all, the working class, in its trade unions,
in its shop committees, in its fraternal mass or

new wave Of fascist terrorism.

Thus, making himself the judge
Of "disloyal" communications, the
warden refuses to deliver a wire to
Tom Mooney, barring him from
communicating a message to the
workers on the Pacific Coast strug-
gle. The refusal to turn over the
kilograms to Mooney and McNa-
mara is a continuation of the sys-
tematic persecution of all political
prisoners in San Quentin, and par
ticularly of Tom Mooney. Mooney
has continuously been deprived of
the regular prison rights because
of his courageous conduct in prison
and his vigorous denunciations OF
the capitalist interests which keep
him confined.

would wage a fight to compel the

campaign of persecution of Mooney

PARK BOARD CHIEF
SUGGESTS GOLF JOB
FOR RETIRED HORSES

Jackiel w. Joseph, president of
the park board, has found use for
two horses that have eaten oats
from the city for years without
contributing anything in return,
he revealed today.
Despite assertions that the board
is conspiring against the tire and
gas industries, Mr.. Joseph wishes
to use the park board horses in
place of park board automobile.
He warned Arthur G. Lockwood,
superintendent of the municipal
golf courses, that he may have to
attend to his experimenting on
horseback this summer to save gas
and to cut down on expenses of
maintaining a car.
Besides, he desires to see the
horses, Major and Charley, put to
work.
Those two horses that the po-
lice department wished off on US
are eating their heads off" he ex-
claimed.

Your Health
by DIR. MORRIS FIsHBETN

TN this modern age of improved medical practice,
L you can expect to live to the age of 60 years, if
you're an average person. and perhaps to 70, So or
90 years if your health is above average.
The reason for this is that in the last fifty years,
life expectancy at birth has increased considerably.
And perhaps it will increase further to the biblical
threescore years and ten, given the continued ad-
vance in modern sanitation and a better under
standing of mental hygiene.
But the increase in life expectancy III the last
century is nothing less than remarkable
There is fairly good evidence that the expectancy
of life at birth in 1914 between 25 and 30 years.
Around 1880 men born in the United States had a
life expectation of 3S.3 years. and women of 4O5
years.
TINE expectation rose gradually until about 1890,
i when it was 42y5 for men, and 445 for women.
With the beginning of the twentieth century, how
ever and with the great advancement which has
come in medicine since that time the expectancy Of
life at birth has risen rapidly.
BY 1910 the life expectancy was so years for men,
and SO for women by 1920 81 years for men, and 56
years for and in 1880, it about go years
for men and 90 years for women.
Interesting in this connection is the gradual
change in the causes OF death These are direct
reflection of the changes in our ways OF living.
Motor cars were unknown in 1900 but accidents
from motor cars were tenth in the list of of
deaths 1880; typhoid fever stood fourteenth in the
disappeared from the first twenty the list. Dph-
liberia. which twelfth in 1900, was twentieth in
1890
Suicides do not appear in the first twenty in 1900
but fifteenth in the list of 1890 Whereas heart
disease third in 1900 it reached first place by
1890
ATOW the reasons Tor some of these changes are
L Y obvious. They due to the fact that persons
are living longer than they used to and that diseases
from which they die are essentially diseases of ad
vanced years, which indicate gradual wearing out
Of the human body.

A T least four actors in two
4 n movies have the right to be
remembered for their effective
work in the two features at the
Indiana this week.
Topping the list is the work
of Jean Parker and Tom Brown as
Maize and Adam, two misfits in
life who battle the unmerciful
wrath of Arthur Byron, who as
Stag, makes one of the cruelest
farmers we have had on the
screen in months.
The other two who contribute
performances you will remember
are Douglas Fairbanks Jr. and
Frank Morgan in Success at Any
Price" The role that Fairbanks
has is most unsympathetic one,
but his work is SO satisfactory
that this lad, who staked every
thing on financial success in life,
gets your sympathy and under
standing before he is opposed by
the power of big money. AS in
all stories of this kind, the lad
turns down the girl, Colleen Moore,
who started him on his way to
fame and fortune. He becomes
dizzy over a cheap actress played
by Genevieve Tobin. Frank Nor
gan gives a magnificent perform
ance of a money power who goes
ga-ga over Miss Tobin only to
see Fairbanks snatch away his
expensive toy.
The story is often farfetched,
but it is interesting because of the
good acting and several fine melo-
dramatic situations.
Both the good woman and the
bad woman suffer in Success at
Any Price" by a Hollywood end
ing indicates that Fairbanks will
be a good boy and keep his eyes
on his good girl.
Two Alone" really is an init
mate character study of two for
lorn orphans cast by chance and
fate into the cruel and inhuman
household of the SlagS.
Arthur Byron and Beulah
Bondi are magnificent as the cruel
and impossible Slags. The two
young miSfits are played by Jean
Parker and Tom Brown.
These two make a tremendously
effective and romantic couple try
ing to find happiness in their love
amid the cruelty on the farm.
The story told in Two Alone"
will give you something to talk
about. Here is not theater, but
interesting theater dignified by

man and Young. Moliere, a master
of farce, concealed his attacks
beneath hail of laughter.
The above mentioned book de-
scribes Moliere as "a thinker
with an eye for tragic possibil-
tiles. he prefers the comic treat
ment; his avowed purpose is to
depict. amuse, instruct"
A current fashion, the scandal
school, fostered by gossiping and
idle women, was target for at
tack in THE Misanthrope." A
deathless comic character in the
same play is the minor poet,
Oronte, fawning and ingratiating,
who was forever composing bad
verse on the subject of his arti-
fetal affections.
THE type of life in France
Il which was generally superb
cial stunted any tendencies Mo-
liere might have had toward the
robust earthiness of Shakespeare.
Yet Moliere brought a freshness
into the decadent French drama
that he had borrowed from Shake
speare and other Elizabethan
play wrightS.
The character of the misan-
thrope is universal one. He is
the outSpoken man who declares,
as does Alceste: II have the
weakness of being a little too sin
cere."
Because of his sincerity, his 10y
atty to the truth as he pictures it,
Moliere is often uncomfortable
reading. The reader may find
himself guiltily recalling his own
actions and smirking compromises
with society.

but rarely changes society. Railing

worlds" line. This is often inter
preted as an attack on the educa-
tional fault of shielding youth
from the truth.
Candide is indeed a candid book.
Bluntly it describes the horrors
associated with war, the barbarous
conduct of men. The Lisbon
earthquake, frightful for its de-
struction, is depicted in the book.
XTOLTAIRE has his own Utopia,
V the land of Eldorado, where
everything is free and men work
for the joy of it. Candide leaves
this land Of peace and harmony
because he is dissatisfied and
aims for more. Years have passed
and communistic Russia ap-
proaches the idea proposed in the
fantastic dream of city of Can
dide."
The method used by Voltaire is
selective-that of a propagandist.
He permits no other view than his
own to spoil the mass of his at
tack. He carefully selects ma
terial from life that reflects his
own ideas and rejects the others.
Voltaire is the intellectual la
