producers fiction. The best they can
manage seems to be the avoidance
8of embarrassment over the passion-
ate writings Of the yarn and they
do not always achieve that. Selznick
could not sell the idea that here was
q passionate folk legend worth their
aggregate acting skin.
Their costumes are brilliant, but
their acting is In the key OF per-
formances encountered In barn the
ater melodrama In the summer.
The basic story line Of Selznick's
tale concerns itself with two pas
sionate primitives among q multi
tude of characters. These are Pearl
Chavez miss jones', a sen1isavage
whose colors range from the stand
ard taWny to a surprising purple;
and Lewton McCandless Peek, the
most extensively carnal villain in
modern screen history.
when Duel in the Sun" looks
away from the gory romance of
these two, before they die in each
others arms on a wild mountain
top, it stalks through the whole
catalogue Of cliches of its type. The
McCandlesses are the people OF a
family saga. Head of the house is
s'the Senator" Hionel BarTymore)
a loud-mouthed old prairie pirate
who makes his own laws. In addi-
tion to Lewt, the younger son and
lawless, there is Jessie Cot
ten). Jessie is civilized like his
gentle mother LILLIAN Gish.
The half breed Pearl, inherited
by the MgCandlesses from q patri-
clan Creole father who killed the
girls Indian mother, is both the
center and victim of the moral
storms which sweep the McCandless
family and its empire.
There is no denying the quality
known as sweep" to Duel in the
Sun" It sweeps every tired corner
OF pioneer Texas history; the dawn
OF conscience among the cattle ty-.
coon families; the battle between
the railroad and stock barons: the
crushing human loneliness OF the
infinite pastureland; and the ele-
mental wildness OF the frontier.
The incident OF the Palace pic
ture is both garish and strident with
what Selznick seems to have intend
ed to be drama. Time after time,
the effect intended Is blown to
pieces by exaggeration. The result
ant ruin is sometimes laughable,
sometimes embarrassing to witness.
This is most notoriously true OF the
scene, the famous finish
in which Pearl and Lewt crawl
across the face Of mountain peak
TO die in each others arms. Instead
Of being awed by love so violent,
audiences are likely to find this one
merely absurd.

lected by the local representatives and
attempted to belittle and discredit
other unions and their officers. That
sort of thing is despicable and it goes
far to defeat the very things that
we pledge ourselves to do, and that
is; to try to improve the conditions
of the working classes.
Two things stand out as our cry
ing need: We must have our own
daily newspapers; and we must have
our own political party.
Workers must be informed; not
propagandized. Workers must vote,
effectively and for their own cause,
and not forever be defeated by vot-
ing for one or the other of two
equally rotten political parties, the
Democratic and the Republican.
Let us start our first newspaper,
NOW!

an assessment of five dollars on each

produce fifty million dollars. That

peat the process and start another
one; in two years we can have string
of newspapers right across the United
States that will serve all the workers.

Democratic Party "Beyond Hope"
AS to new political party, each
passing year makes that accomplish
ment more difficult. To me, the task
of getting control of the Democratic
party and making it the party of the
people is beyond hope. 1t
cannot be done. We must have our
own political party; call it Progress
sive, Labor or what you like, it
must be the party of the common
nan. A mammoth task, indeed, but
We must make our choice: we either
move together and do these things
or ourselves or we sink into COM

EDITORIAL COMMENT
BY j. B. Springer


1t is customary on Labor Day for the
working Dubbs to get together out a
the ball park, have Bill Green or some
other worthy make a speech, in which
he recounts the accomplishments OF
Labor, declares the principles for
which organized labor stands and vows
to carry on in the traditional manner.
A brass band is present and we have a
parade; the cops are out in full force,
pretending they fear we will stage a
bloody riot and hang the mayor; we
pretend that it is our day, and a
swell time is had by ALL
This year I think we should fly
our flag at half mast, "can" the
pretense; tell each other what
bunch of dopes we have been to
allow ourselves to get in the pre-
dicament we find ourselves in; be-
cause it was our votes or the lack
of them that brought us to this I'M
happy state, and then determine to
do something about it.
Negative Position-Our Downfall
First, we must determine to defeat
every congressman and senator who
voted for the Taft-Hartley bill. That
part is easy, but after we have made
that determination, whom do we vote
for? 1t is easy to vote AGAINST
some candidate, but that has been our
downfall, we don't seem to be able
to vote FOR something. Last time |
we voted AGAINST the Democrats |
because of certain conditions which |
had developed that we did not like, |
the Republicans. We got the Taft |
Hartley bill. And just as the reac-
tionary Democrats were ably assisted |
by the Republicans in congress, pre- |
ceding the 1916 elections, in creating |
undesirable conditions for us, so were |
the Republicans ably assisted by the |
acknowledgements in putting over
the Taft-Hartley bill. So far as any
choice of parties is concerned we have
no choice, for in effect there is only
one party.
A "Great Difference" Between
Parties
To be sure, there are two columns 1
of the list of candidates, one headed
Republican and the other Democratic,
and there is this great difference in
the two: One of them is ''out," while
the other is Gin"
Most writers for labor pubica-
tons are agreed that we are facing
crisis. We are looking Fascism
right in the eye and the pity of it
is that most of us don't recognize
it. crisis requires all out and
drastic action. 1t is up to the Labor
Unions to lead the way and it is
up to the heads of the Unions to
display their leadership and to meet
the crisis with all the force and in
genuity they can command. We
must ACT together.

GARDEN CALENDAR

All questions pertaining to your
garden problems will be answered
through tn e columns if ad-
dressed. to the garden calendar

News society editor.
DAHLIAS
Growing dahlias has become one
of the greatest hobbies of home
gardeners within the past Is
years. In our mountain sections
dahlias seem to find ideal grow
ing conditions and produce gor-
geous blooms with little care be-
You'd the preparation of the soil
and planting in spring or early
summer and digging and storing
for the winter when frost kills the
tops. Climate, soil and moisture
conditions in the mountain regions
of our southeastern states prob
ably resemble closely those found
on the plateaus of Central Ameri-
ca and Mexico. where they are
native and whence ours have
come.
Where the ground does not
freeze deeper than 4 inches the
tubers can be left over winter and
dug in spring when shoots are 4
or 5 inches high. Whether left out
or stored. they should not be sepa-
rated until time to plant in spring.
Each spring they must be divided
ard replanted in freshly prepared
soil. Wait as late as possible to
plant out the stored ones and If
ordering new ones, it is best to
order from more northern grow
ers as the tubers will be dormant
and can be planted later. Late
planting with us gives best results,
even as late ais early June.
Preparation of the soil should
begin in fall by sowing a green
cover crop such as rye or Aus
trian peas to be turned under in
spring. Grow dahlias in a well
drained place that gets full I'LL
for half the day, and where roots
of trees and shrubs cannot en-
croach and take food and moisture
from. the soil. Besides the cover
crop, work in all the manure, COM
post from the pit. Woodsearth or
peat - any humus-that you can.
Any type soil will do if this rou-
tine is carried out. Heavy clay
should have some sand or coal
ashes in addition to tighten it. This
humus should be worked il at
least IL inches deep. and several
weeks before planting time in
April OR May.
Some growers advocate using a
mixture of phosphorus and potash
with no nitrogen about 2 weeks
before planting, such as a 0-20-2O
at the rate of S or 6 pounds per
100 50. it., Or a 0-12-12 at the
rate of 6 to 8 pounds per 100 So.
#. In this case all the heterogeneous
fertilizer is given later when buds
have formed to produce larger
flowers. Others use a complete
fertilizer low in nitrogen. such as
3-10-5 or 4-10-6, mixed into the soil
just before planting at the rate
of 4 pounds to 100 So. it., and
IS to 20 pounds of bonemeal over
the same area. Or l tablespoonful
of commercial fertilizer and a
double handful of bonemeal to
each plant. Later when buds. show,
a complete garden fertilizer Is ap-
piled every 2 weeks, beginning
with a very small amount q tea
spoonful or less) and increasing
as the plant grows Cup to 1 table
spoonful or a little more.)
Dig the dahlia clumps very care
fully without injury to tubers,
roots or sprouts when shoots are
about 4 inches high in spring. Cut
