SMALLER BOND FOR ACCUSED BURGLAR
-Lubinskas Promises tt Waive Examination
 Tomorrow

A touching plea in city court to- day for 8 reduction in bond by Adam Lubinskas. 23, of 301 Bank street, brought about a lowering of the bail from $2,000 to $1,000. Held on charges of breaking and entering, Lubinskas has admitted two burglaries of the home or Fe- dore Leibreich on Bucks Hill road and stealing two guns, tools ana more than $100 worth of Jewelry.
 Lubinskas told the court that he had been earning but $4 a week and that many times he feared starvation for himself and his wife. His wife, he told Judge Miles Mo mfr who was on the bench in place of Judge John F. McGrath, is ex- pecting another child. If the bond were lowered to $1,000 he said, he would be able to raise that amount and attempt to secure a job to support his wife while awaiting disposition of his case in court.
 Attorney A. Herman Weisman. representing Lubinskas secured a continuance of the case for one day when he promised that his client would waive. examination to- morrow. He will thus be autonla- tically bound over to the next term of superior court.
 Detective Joseph, Bender. who arrested Lubinskas and recovered much of the loot, last night found the second of two guns stolen from the Liebreich home, securing the weapon in Plainville. He had pre- viously recovered another revolver, as well as many pieces of jewelry stolen from the Liebreich home- stead. <. }si y

and the good Father says he can work with

Question: Is there equality Of pay in the Soviet
Union? If there is economic inequality, will not
the better-paid individuals accumulate enough to
invest for proft?-J. D.
Answer: In the Soviet Union workers perform
different functions and their pay varies in accord
ance with their skill and training But the ex-
ploitaton of the tolers by an enemy class is i'm
possible. The workers have abolished the private
ownership of the means Of production. Individuals
cannot own factories, machines, land, etc, and by
means Of this private ownership exploit workers.
The remnants of exploitation that the Soviet
Union inherited from Czarism are being system
atically destroyed Production is organized and
planned to satisfy the needs of the masses and
not to pile up wealth for the exploiters The work.

that make for class oppression and exploitation will
disappear
This does not mean that everyone in the Soviet

and training. The new society carried over with
it in its emergence from capitalism the economic,
moral and intellectual brthmarks of the old society
from which it sprang and these are being ersdicated
by the dictatorship of the proletariat.
What is important, however, is that the Soviet
state pays special attention to poorer-pad and I'M
skilled categories of workers. They are encouraged
to educate themselves; they have every opportu-
nifty to obtain better Jobs and they never have to
fear the specter Of economic insecurity.
The better-paid individuals like the poorer paid
ones elevate their living standards; raise their cul
turaI level But there is no place in Soviet eco
nony where savings be used to accumulate
profits. Remnants Of speculation still exist. These
are being carefully uprooted and the workers and
farmers government constantly watches for any
attempt by fragments of the old regime to introduce
capitalist exploitation in any form.
In the Soviet Union the toilers are building a
CLASHES Socialist society in which every form Of
the exploitation of man by man will have been
abolished but people will still be paid according 10
the kind of work that they do. It is only when
mankind will pass from the stage of Socialism to
the higher stage of Communism when the develop
ment of the social productive forces will provide
more than enough for everyones needs, that the
present division of labor will have disappeared and
mankind will set 10 the standard; From each ac-
cordng to his Abilities to each according to his

Magnificent MuraLs by Burck
Depict Soviet achievements
EXHIBITION OF MURALs, by
Jacob Burck, Art Students
League Gallery, ais West 57th
Street, until January 26th.
Reviewed by
LOUIS LOZOWICK

THE outlines of proletarian cul-
L ture are assuming definite shape
with remarkable vigor and rapidity.
In poetry and the novel, in criticism
and the theatre, in graphic art and
the dance, the revolutionary cul-
tural movement can record achieve
ments that compare fayorably with
the best in contemporary bourgeois
culture whose blood is beginning to
run thin with the years.
In this movement toward a prole-
tartan culture the American graphic
artists were among the pioneers.
The work of Minor, Gellert, Crop
per, Ellis, Burck and others, known,
exhibited, reproduced and admired
on both sides of the Atlantic, is
certainly more than a match for
the capitalist cartoonists even in
technique alone; as for their
theology it towers in its aSsertive,
fighting clarity above the confused
hesitant liberalism or time-serving
obscurantism of the bourgeois car
toonists.
In painting, however, more par
ticularly in mural painting, the
proletarian artists have thus far not
been equally successful. Bourgeois
institutions, whether private or pub
lie, cannot be expected to lend their
walls for revolutionary painting,
and workers organizations are too
poor in most cases to afford fresco
or even canvass or to compensate
the artist even meagerly. Neverthe-
less, despite these difficulties, a
number of interesting attempts
have been made in New York and
other cities. Such have been the
murals of Gellert for the Cooper
alive Cafeteria, the paintings of
Phil Bard for the Red Builders,
Joe Jones work for the old court
house in St. Louis and now, per-
haps the most ambitious of all,
Burck's murals for Intourist.
DURCK is best known, of course,
u as revolutionary cartoonist.
AS such he has been engaged in
fighting the battles of American la
Dor, delivering heavy blows to it's

Call for Congress of American
Revolutionary Writers on May |
Congress Discuss Participation of Writers in Struggle Against War;
Liberties Tendencies

THE capitalist system crumbles so
L rapidly before our eyes that,
whereas ten years ago scarcely
more than a handful of writer's
were sufficiently far-sighted and
courageous to take a stand for pro-
letarian revolution, today hundreds
of poets, novelists, dramatists, crit
les, short story writer's and jour
nslists recognize the necessity of
personally helping to accelerate the
destruction of capitalism and the
ablishment OF a workers govern
ment.
We are faced by two kinds of
problems. First, the problems of
effective political action. The
dangers of war and fascism are
everywhere apparent we all can
see the steady march of the ma
tons towards war and the transfor-
nation of sporadic violence into or
ganized fascist terror.
The question is: how can we
function most successfully against
these twin menaces?
In the second place, there are
the problems peculiar to us as
writer's, the problems of presenting
in our work the fresh understand
ing of the American scene that has
come from our enrolment in the
revolutionary cause. A new Renais-
sance is upon the world; for each
writer there is the opportunity to
proclaim both the new way of life
and the revolutionary way to at
tain it. Indeed, in the historical
perspective, it will be seen that
only these two things matter. The
revolutionary spirit is penetrating
the ranks of the creative writer's.
MANY revolutionary writers live
WI virtually in isolation, lacking op-
portunities to discuss vital prob
lens with their fellows. Others are
SO absorbed in the revolutionary
cause that they have few opportu-
mites for thorough examination
and analysis. Never have the writ
ers of the nation come together for
fundamental discussion.
We propose, therefore, that a
Congress of American revolution
airy writer's be held in New York
City on May 1, 1885; that to this
Congress shall be invited all writ
ers who have achieved some stand
ing in their respective fields; who
have clearly indicated their SYM
pathy to the revolutionary cause:
who do not need to be convinced
of the decay of capitalism, of the
inevitability of revolution. Subse-
quently, we will seek to influence
and win to our side those writer's

THE LABOR DEFENDER, official
organ of the International Labor
Defense, January, 1885, 10 cents.
ANGELO HERNDON Interviews
"A Tom Mooney" is the title of
the leading article in the January
issue of the Labor Defender. Be
hind the bars of San Quention
prison, where the innocent Mooney
is now spending his eighteenth
year in Jail, these two Mooney.
whose name has become the chief
symbol of the frame-up practices
of the American rulers, and Hern-
don, a leader Of the newest genera
ton of fighters, member of an OPP
pressed nation whose fate is tied up
with the fate Of the working class.
Herndon tells us, in this article,
what they had to say to one an
other. 1t was a momentous inter
view.
The case of Mooney and Herndon,
and the cases of two Of the nine
ScottSboro boys, are now in the
Supreme Court of the United
States. These three cases sum up
the chief struggles of the workers
on the defense front in America,
during the past year. But besides
these struggles, there were in 1884
literally hundreds of others. The
Labor Defender sums up the record
for the year-terror, action, victory.
The year 1884 was a year of
great terror against the workers:
81 strikers were killed, 25 lynehings
Of Negroes came to light, over 5000
men, women and children were ar
rested for strike activity.
But 1884 was also a year Of great
defense struggles, and these the
Labor Defender triumphantly re-
cords. In freeing Dimitrov and his
three co-defendants in the Reich
stag fire trial from the clutches of
German fascism, the American
workers, under the leadership of the
International Labor Defense, played
an important part. In August,
after a mass campaign for funds
which showed the measure of the
devotion of the working class, An
getlo Herndon was freed from
Fulton Tower Prison in Atlanta,
Georgia, on bail of $4,000. In
Detroit, James Victory, Negro, was
freed by the International Labor
Defense. He was the first victim
of an organized iim-crow drive by
the Detroit bosses. The year closed
with the Scottsboro boys still alive,
and their cases once more forced
before the Supreme Court by ma
tion-wide mass protest. And in
Canada, Tim Buck, last of the
Canadian eight" jailed for lead
ing the workers, was freed from
prison by the efforts of the Cana
dian Labor Defense League.
Also in this issue Of the Labor
Defender, is an extended discussion
of the present status of the SCOTS
boro case, by Richard B. Moore.
Louis Colman has an article en-
titled Facing 1885," in which he
gives in some detail the plans of
the boss class to crush the work
ers' struggles-planS for a federal
criminal sedition law, federal red
squad, special laws to make easier
the deportation of militant aliens.
The center pages of the magazine
deserve special mention. These are
picture pages, giving for each
month of 1884 picture of some
outstanding event in the workers
struggles, particularly against terror
and frame ups, e Ell.
