weekly for skilled work and a 40

to beat up the pickets. Lead pipes
and bottles were used and guns were
drawn. The strikers appealed to all

organizations responded and were on
the picket line at 6 in the morning

ANY writer who undertakes in all
sincerity to speak for and about the
working class and its revolutionary
movement can't help looking with
sympathy and understanding on Joel
Rustam's THE Fire" a brief ORA
matte sketch which lends itself to the
technique if not to the neds Of Agit-
prop theatres.
But that very sympathy also makes
one more keenly aware Of its short
| conlings. The sketch has in it the
flaming sincerity and earuestneSs of
young writer who is so anxious to
tell the world what he thinks and
feels that he is junlpy shaky in the
use OF his medium.
The graYest shortcomings Of ''The
Fire is its form. 1t tries to tell the
whole story of the postwar up
heaValS in Germany in a few pages
by means OF dialogue written for a
few symbolic individuals. The result
/ Is LlgOly ABSTRACT. lndJ hlllQ VI dD-
straction won't do. The figures that
| people proletarian art must be real,
alive, breathing persons, not little
puppets with which the author imi-
tates reality by changing his voice
behind the scenes to suit each Of his
little creatures.
| The shortcomings Of the work
| probably grow from 8 lack Of clarity
about the artistic problems involved
in its writing as well from as a lack
Of clarity concerning the political
forces which are supposed to mott
vate the persons in the drama.
1.-THE Fire" has one saving grace,
the promising quality of its dialogue,
which moves with the warmth and
eagenerness o. some free verse. 1t

1ities, if he develops the kind Of dis
cipline and Judgment that enables
him to know when he's ringing the
