Radio Clubs.-The New York Club,
meeting Friday nights at AZ Union
Square, one fight up, is sure to
obtain 25O-watt rig; the lads are
doing their best to raise the dough.
The Cleveland Club writes the fol-
lowing good news: There are eight
of us planning to get amateur IL
censes. Several will probably get
licenses this January. Two will
begin building a transmitter soon"
Indications we have show that there
should be a club in Chicago, but

their current catalogue, we can't tell
whether it is still given. In response
to last weeks call for New Workers
interested in a radio communica-

possibly take up the following: In
struction and practice in sending

governing the transmission, recap-

about realizing it; write to us your
self and find others who would be
interested.

Led Army of Workers
Against Fascist
Kapp-Putsch
By MORRIS GRoCE

HITLER recently had burned all
the books Of Jewish, non Aryan
and proleterian writer's. He has
also banned production of our radio
plays and films, thus violating the
Berne agreement. All German pub
fishers and theatrical producers
have been forbidden to pay any
royalties to us Jewish and prole-
tartan writers. We are consequently
utterly helpless today; it is not our
fault! I myself am being prosecuted
my wife was refused visa to see
me and my Postal Savings account
where I had a little savings was
seized and conf1scated, so that my
wife and children are destitute"
In these words Friedrich Wolf,
revolutionary German dramatist,
now in exile in the Soviet Union,
described the treatment accorded
authors in 1888 who dared oppose
Fascism.
Wolf, whose most popular drama
Sailors Of Cattaro' has its Amer
lean premiere at the Civic Roper
tory Theatre, Monday evening, I'M
der the sponsorship of the Theatre
Union, has taken an active part in
the struggles of the working class,
so that instead of inhabiting Red
Ivory tower" and writing vicariously
of strife, he creates out of actual
experience. During his forty-six
years, he has been sailor, soldier,
worker, and physician, as we'll as
author.
He ran away from home when he
was only twelve and shipped to sea,
first as a cabin boy, and then as
an able bodied seaman. Eventually,
he settled down to the study of
medicine. But during his summer
vacations he shoveled coal in the
BLACK gang" of Dutch steamer.
When the War broke out, he en-
listed Immediately, and served four
years as battalion physician in
the Eastern and Western armies.
Once, he was severely wounded, and
twice shell-shocked.
Refused to Serve in Army
From March, 1918, on, he refused
to serve any more. He was court
martialed and railroaded to an in
sane asylum. But he did not re-
main in the asylum long, for by
militant action he forced his release.
In September, 1918, he Joined the
illegal, independent Social-Demo-
cratic party. and plunged himself
into the thick of the revolutionary
movement.
He took an active part in the No
vember revolution, was elected to
the executive committee, arrested
after the murder Of Rosa Luxem-
bourg and Karl Liebknecht on jan
uary Is, 1913, and later released by
amnesty.
After this. Wolf went to Rem
schied, in the Rhine-Ruhr coal
country as chief physician. He was
building up the medical service of
the city when the first Fascist
Kapp-Putsch took place. The Whites
under Major Lutzow captured Rem
schied.

& los Angeles

Los Angeles workers will have an
opportunity to see that excellent
anti-war play Peace on Earth,
which had its opening on Dec. s,
at the Musart Theatre, 1918 South
Figueros Street. This play showed
to over 100000 workers in New York
City last year when the Broadway
houses could hardly muster up au-
diences. Organizations should ar
range theatre parties so that the
message of this play might be
spread most effectively.

Friedrich Wolf: EHiLed German Worker
And Brilliant Revolutionary Dranaatist
Sailors of Cattaro
Still Playing
in Moscow

Of Cattaro," VOLTS next play, took
place simultaneously in Berlin at
the Volksbuhne, and in the Schau-
spielhaus in Breslau in 1890. In Ber-
lin, it was a sensational and political
success. A Berlin critic ended a four
column review with the words: "a
tremendous victory for the author.
A tremendous victory for the thea
tire, first and tremendous victory
for the political idea"
The critic Of the welt am
Abend," Berlin wrote: The SYM
pathy Of the public was understand
able; because, although this play
deals with the revolt of the sailors
at Cattaro, in essence it is the ira
gedy Of the German November Rev.
olution. In a certain sense it may
be said that on this night Judgment
was passed on all reformism and op-
portunism. all half-revolutions. It
was a strange experience to see peo-
pie seeking to assure themselves, in
the midst of frenzied applause, with
a cry Of theatre But it was no
longer theatre-it was brutally real
to the spectators, who expressed
themselves in this way; and con-
tact between the public and the
stage was not so close for years as
it was on this night Of the Sailors
of Cattaro."
In Berlin the play ran a half
year, and then went on to most of
the important German theatres, in
Guiding Breslau, Dusseldorf, Man
helm, Cologne, Frankfort, Leipzig,
and Stuttgart. Outside of Germany,
the drama ives played in Zurich,
Amsterdam, Copenhagen, London,
Vienna, Prague. 1t was produced in
1881 in the october Festival in Mos
COW and together with Pogodin's
"Mojdrug" was designated as the
best play of the season.
Still Playing in Moscow
Sailors of Cattaro" is still being
played in the Theatre Of the Trade
Unions in Moscow, three years after
its premiere, and has also been pro-
duced in Odessa Kharkov, and as
far East as Vladiyostok.
In the winter Of 1928. Wolf or
ganized a group Of actors into the
Troupe Southwest" which toured
southern Germany in motor trucks
presenting How Is It On The
Front" From New York To Shang-
hal" and Farmer Baetz'-agit-
prop revues written especially for
the Troupe by Wolf himself.
Some ninety performance had
been given, when in March of 1888,
they were officially banned by Hitler.
A month later Wolf had to flee the
country.
He lived in Paris for several
months, and then took up residence
in Moscow. 1t was some times be-
fore his family were able to get out
of Germany and join him.
Wolf has entered with full zest
into the activities Of a Soviet au-
thor; he writes politically for the
trade union publications and news
papers and at the same time keeps
up his creative work.

Editors Hail 10000
E EDITION of Stalin's
Foundations at lOc

Responding with enthusiasm to
the recent publication of the Tenth
Anniversary low-priced edition of
100000 copies of Joseph Stains
Foundations of Leninism," the fol-
lowing comments were received
from Alfred Tiala, president of the
United Farmers League, and from
Lowell Wakefield, editor of the
Voice of Action" militant weekly
published in Seattle:
"The Northwests I. w. W.-syn-
dicalist background makes para
mount wide study of basic revo-
lutionary theory. Mass poverty
dictates low price as prerequisite
to mass distribution. A Decent
Foundations of Leninism' will fill
the bill all round. We will back
it to the limit. 1t should go over
with a bang.
LOWELL WAKEFIELD,
Editor, Voice of Action"
"The masses of workers and
farmers are seeking a way out
of the capitalist crisis; but lack
ing a knowledge of the theory
and practice of Communism, they
are still losing themselves in the
mazes of reformism and dema-
gogy. And many who have al
ready aligned themselves with the
Communist Party lose faith and
drop out solely because of insult
ficient theoretical knowledge; for
enthusiasts without a foundation
in sound theory are short-lived.
Therefore such a pamphlet as
Foundations of Leninism' at low
price in a large edition is most
timely. It acquires added impor-
lance from the fact that it has
been written by Stain, whose
historical mission If has become
to guide the building of the struc-
ture of Socialist society on the
Foundations of Leninism."

ONLY One FILLY

KENTUCKY DERBY
Regret Won Race in 1915
Matt Hari, Another Filly,

That was in 1915, when Harry

Notter up, turned the mile and q

of sixteen.
When with another FLY come
down in front of the pack to take
her place alongside Regret? Some
horsemen say never. Even the tri-
umph of Regret did not erase the
prejudice against her sex with
many followers of the turf, who
continue to look for the winner
among the colts and geldings. 1t is
fact that the female thorough
bred physically is not capable of
reaching her best form over a
route as early as her masculine
contemporaries. And FLIES are sub
ject to distress in the spring to
which their rivals are not. There's
no doubt that a filly which beats
the boys is an outstanding and ex-
ceptional piece of horsefesh.
There are, however. many who
believe that the Goth running of
the Derby, May 5, will be won by a
filly. This is for the simple reason
that FLIES, taken as a whole, per-
formed more creditably than the
colts last season, and the filly
brigade nominated for the race
this year is the strongest since the
Derby's inception in 1876.
