——* ~ Page Four ‘ THE DAILY WORKER Monday, March 10, 1924 DAVID BELASCO THREATENS TO | SMASH EQUITY He Signed on Dotted Line Before By FREDERICK KUH. (Staff Correspondent of The Federated Press) NEW YORK, March 9.—With an upstage theatrical flourish, David Be. lasco has thrown down a flat chal lenge to the Actors’ Equity Associa- tion, affiliated to the American Fed- eration of Labor. Belasco annotinces his intention of closing his Broadway theater and shutting down his pro- ductions now on tour within a few weeks, He admits frankly that this move is directed against the actor’s organization, Information elicited by The Feder- ated Press in theatrical circles shows that Belasco’s threat to close his pro- duetions is little more than a stage trick, As a matter of fact, all the Belasco presentations will continue as originally contemplated. Those tlays which wil] be taken off the boards will have completed their an- ticipated run, No change of plan will be effected. The Belasco version of The Mer- chant of Venice will be removed from the theater soon—but no sooner than had been arranged before Belasco declared higypurpose of exacting the pound of fish from his employes. The same applies to The Other Rose, Kiki, and Laugh, Clown, Laugh. Belasco’s personal record suggests that his dramatic utterances should not be taken too seriously. Before he became one of the Thoroly Sue- cessful, Belasco himself used to speak boldly about his determination of fighting the theatrical trust. But no sooner had he established himself comfortably than Belasco emerged as one of the ringleaders of that same trust. During the actors’ strike in 1919, to the accompaniment of loud publicity, Belasco announced that un- der no conditions would he accept the terms of the striking players. A few weeks later—without the usual trumpets and cymbals—he accepted ee those terms and signed on the dotted line. Union Will Fight. , Hf the statement of his own inten- tions may be regarded as sheer stage- effect, Belasco’s eagerness to provoke a new managers’ war against the ac- tors’ organization is beyond doubt. Belasco is convinced that the hour has arrived to break up the Equity. The union is determined to accept Belas- co’s challenge. In a formal prenouncement to the press, Belasco has scurried for shelter behind the skirts of art before launching his offensive against the theatrical workers. He asserts that “the theater is not a shop.” The principles of organized labor, he says, do not apply to the theater, nor for that matter to any art. He does not elucidate why actors should not unite to assure themselves decent working conditions, living wages and a voice in the mangement of the plays which they produce. With a darkened spot- light and soft tremolo stops, Belasco cries “Art!” and let’s it go at that. Poor Plutes! “No manager worthy of the name goes into the theater for money,” states the smugly aesthetic Belasco. “We all die poor.” If you have tears, prepare to shed a few of ’em for the tattered, hungry profiteers of Broadway. Remember how many of them can only afford one private yacht, that most of them must be content with only two yed}ly jeurneys to Palm Beach and that searcely a single theatrical manager today can maintain more than four upholstered automobiles. No; Belas- eo, we would have guessed that you could do better than this. With all your experience, you appear to be a tenth understudy when it comes to kidding the actors. To say nothing of the audience. Could Get Along. In a retort, issued to the press, Frank Gillmore, secretary Actor’s Equity Association, discounted Belas- co’s flambuoyant threats and indi- cated yee need be, fe Cecagoscrrs stage could stagger along quite pin bio without mileues man- agerial activities, Gillmore hints that that theatrical gentleman is strongly inelined to exaggerate his own im- portance. ‘ It remains to be seen whether Bel- aseo’s effort to os his fellow- , many of whom are now pe age on lavish Florida estates, to a fresh campaign against American actors, proves fruitful. Jobs Grow Fewer in Czechoslovakia; Figures Misleading By ROBERT MINOR. you want to find a pickpocket, talk about stolen pocketbooks and watch to see who gets nervous. Last week the Chicago Defender, a Negro newspaper, published a quite cool- headed and scholarly editorial (which we reproduce in this issue) comment- ing upon the fact that the present “rapid change of political conditions tHruout the world is day by day bringing the problem of the garker races to the fore as never before in latter-day history.” This Negro newspaper is not radi- cal—at least no more radical than any paper is obliged to pe in cham- pioning very mildly the commonplace. civil rights of its people. In this instance it commented in a very mod- est and reserved fashion upon the avalanche of darker races which every thinking man knows is destin- ed to be turned loose upon the im- perialists of Europe who are now holding in subjection mary times their own number of Negro and other dark races, and mentions the strate. gie position of Soviet Russia, which stands committed to the liberation of the suppressed colonial peoples. The result of this Negro editorial is a_wild shriek from that “friend of the Negro,” the Chicago Tribune. In its leading editorial of Friday’s issue, the Tribune scolds the Defender and recites a set of lies that will make any Negro laugh with bitter scorn. The Negro “has full political rights and the use of all the utilities of modern civilization,” says the Trib- une. The truth is that the Negroes in Chicago are herded off in a segre- gated district; they are not even per- mitted to live where they may please in the city. They are generally (in violation of law) excluded from the right to purchase a meal in any res- taurant outside of their own crowded “black belt.” A Negro found walking in the evening in a white residence district is often stopped by a police- man and forced to account for his presence there (a fact little known). The Tribune says that the Negroes in Chicago “have all the police pro- tection they want and protection from fires.” This is an insult as well as a lie. Not to mention the fact that in the last Chicago riot, caused by the killing of a Negro boy for the offense of trying to swim at a public beach, the Negroes got more protection from their own firearms than they did from the police, let us get down to more ordinary matters. The Negro does not enjoy the right of “full” use of theatres, restaurants and hotels in Chicago, altho a law guaranteeing him such rights is on the statute books for political ef- fect. The Chicago police recently closed a cabaret restaurant for no other apparent reason than that the house permitted Negroes and whites to share its conveniences. In the meantime, white cabaret-restaurants which exclude Negroes are permitted to run even after gunmen-murders are committed on the premises. The Tribune says smugly that “the whites will not intermarry” with the Negroes, “do, not have social rela-~ tions with them, do not have them to dinner, dances, or theater parties.” This ‘shows the utter contempt for the Negro which the great republi- ean daily liar would do well to con- ceal. It is true that white million- aires do not generally legalize their parentage of Mulatto children, and that theatres discriminate against Negroes, but otherwise, this also is a lie. The fact is that the Chicago police habitually arrest white women seen in the company of Negro men on the south side of Chicago—a very common occurrence, The Tribune then leaves Chicago and proceeds to tell fantastic lies about the “darkest acts conceivable to imagination, to superstitious frenzy, to lusts and appetites were the commonplaces”—not in Alabama, Georgia, or South Carolina, in the mind of the Tribune—but “in African regions which the whites had never touched” in the charitable effort to make chattel or modern industrial slaves of the Negroes. BOLSHEVISM But finally the Tribune gets down to what it is really driving at: “Bolshevism is the enemy of the American society in whose benefits the Negro partakes. If he thinks he could’ get more benefits by join- ing the enemies to overturn that society, he is necessarily making the majority of white Americans his own enemies.” Even if his ideas of communism are not intended to come to anything, an expression of them causes the white Americans to look at him with suspicion and resentment. That does the race no good. -If these ideas were in- tended to come to anything they would ruin the race. A+ social revolution in the United States un- dertaken a la Russe by Reds and blacks might result in a terror. have no census of the Reds, but The whites are ten to one. We they probably are not one in 10,000.” And here. again in its effort to bulldoze the Negro into forswearing all human rights and self-respect which “go by favor and not by law,” the Tribune lies: again; and it lies in the raost contemptible fashion. The “Reds” are not fools. None of them is sc crazy as to think a small minority of the population—‘10,000 reds and the Negroes”’—can over- throw an order of society. The Ne- groes received their emancifation from chattel slavery, not thru John Brown’s handful of “reds,” but thru a revolution upheld by the majority of the population of this “country. And only in @ movement. of a similar overwhelming size will the “Reds” and the “Blacks” attain the complete of their emancipation. But then the Tribune owners would lose their property and couldn’t lie any more. There is precisely one party in all the world that stands for undiluted, unqualified and complete liberation of the,Negro to the exact status of the white race. There’s the rub. It is the Communist Party—in America called the Workers Party. The Ne- groes of the world are beginning in- stinctively to turn their eyes, at least with surprise and interest, to the one party that does not “qualify equality.” That is what’s worrying the white slaves of the Tribune edi. torial desk. For the Communists tell the Negro frankly that his liberation can come only with the overturning of the institutions which are built upon his enslavement as an inferior class at home and a colonial slave abroad. That would involve the loss of the property of the millionaires who own the Tribune. Therefore, they must lie as best they can to becloud the Negroes’ understanding the question. Bureau of Mines Publishes Figures on U. S. Mine Statistics (By The Fedérated Press) WASHINGTON, “March“9.—About 2 per cent of coal’ mine accidents result fatally.

The Tribune and the Defender The Chicago Tribune has long made a specialty of lying to the Negroes and trading their support to a lot of republican politicians who grow wealthy on the Negroes’ faith while denying the Negro his rights with hypocritical sneers about not having “social relations with them, nor having them to dinner, dances or theatre parties.” But the Tribune will ultimately lie itself out; the Negroes are waking up and search- ing for their own true interests—and that’s what makes the Tribune edi- tor hysterical. Here is the Defender’s editorial which aroused the fear and hate of the Tribune: ‘DEFENDER’S’ EDITORIAL Moscow and the Darker Races. (Chicago Defender.) The rapid change of political conditions thruout the world is day by day bringing the problem of the darker races to the fore as never before in latter-day history. It. fs quite significant to note at this time that G: Zinoviev, the great Russian leader and president of the Third International, has just sent rigid instructions to the French Communists setting before them in pointed language that their duty should be to agitate among France’s black troops the independence of French Africa. To the student of European poli- tics it is quite clear that France in order to maintain her present posi- tion in Europe must rely to a greater degree than ever on the loyalty and valor of her black sol- diers, At the same time it is equal- ly true that Russia will be unable to attain the ideal socialistic state, | surrounded by capitalist nations as she is. The peculiar economic posi- tion of the darker races the world over gives them the power to deter-- mine the course of the growing conflict between capitalist impe- rialism on one hand and the con- scious’ working Class movement on the other. There is nothing humanitarian in the political policies of Europe in Asia or Africa; her interest in the countries of the darker races is to exploit the natural wealth of those people who are without meags of self-defense. We are wont to believe that French rule is ideal as far as her darker subjects are concerned, but more and more it is coming to light that there are many of her darker subjects who have justifiable reasons for com- plaint, altho as yet somehow the discontented elements are inarticu- late. France with her several mil- lion more blacks than whites gives the former only as much as she is compelled to. | The capitalist nations cannot close their eyes to the fact that the influences from Moscow will be far reaching among the proscribed and oppressed races of the world. It is the natural sequence of the late war and the disclosure to the working people of their inher- ent strength. Moscow leaders | claim to see, free of all doubts, a | war cloud hovering over Europe. And whatever nations may initiate | the next war Russia knows that | she will be drawn in.

Wood Favors Chase * Bank with Lots of Philippine Money (By The Federated Press.) WASHINGTON, Mar. 9.—General Leonard Wood, governor general of the Philippines, is responsible for the fact that the Philippine government now has $32,000,000 on deposit in American banks—the Chase National Bank has half of that sum—earning only 3 to 3 1-2 per cent, while it is Paying 4 1-2 per cent om the bonds which were sold to produce that money. The same batks that hold this idle money got the rake.off on the bond issue, according to Philip- pines spokesmen in Congress, who hold Wood responsible, They say that he induced the is- land legislature to borrow $23,000,000 for establishing a “currency reserve fund,” and $5,000,000 more — to strengthen the financial position of the government, and that this money with part of the sinking fund for the bond issues, lies in American banks. Leaders in the legislature were in- duced, in 1922, to ask Congress to raise their debt limit to $72,000,000, preliminary to this venture, when they gained the impression that ‘ood would then favor the independ- ence of the islands. When the bonds been sold they discovered Wood to be the implacable enemy of inde- pendence. They charge that Philip- pine bank losses were heavier, in pro- portion, to American than to native borrowers: The Americans clamor for permanent military occupation.

Naturally the soldiers felt this. ’- | They realized that they were tools in the hands of the master class of this country, that their services were ap- preciated so long as danger threat- ened the bosses but once that threat was removed the men who did the fighting and took the risks could go and chase themselves. A great falling away in the ranks of the Legion took place and in order to stop the ebb the Legion leaders were obliged to grab some issue that would hold the ex-soldiers. That of compensation for the time they spent fighting for $30.00 a week while the bosses made millions, was the logical one. Now it happens that this is the last thing the bosses liked. While it was perfectly proper to hand over billions to the railroad owners for the use of the railroads which do not rightly ‘be- long to the railroad magnates in the first place, it was branded an inimical to the best interest of the country to pay the soldiers a trifling sum in com- |pensation for their war service. It business. “It would load down the country with a five billion ‘dollar obligation and imperil the country's prosperity.” Oh yes. It would com- pel the big fellows to pay out in taxes some of the loot that they got away with while their dupes were over fighting. It would imperil the coun- try’s prosperity! That means less money for the rich who are ac- customed to luxury and a little more for the poor wage slaves—heroes for a day—who are used to poverty and can get along very well with’ what they haven’t got. Bosses Get Busy. So the business men—the big fel- lows—have organized an ex-Service Men’s Anti-Bonus League which is financed by Secretary of the Treasury Mellon and others. Knowlton Durn- ham is president of the league. In a statement headed “The Bonus and the Bolshevik Fringe,” Durnham claims that the bonus agitation is only a mask for an anti-capitalist propa- ganda which is becoming more men- acing every day. Veterans openly declare they are demanding a bonus because they saw rich men filling their offers during the war. The Chicago Journal of Commerce flays the veterans mercilessly, Refer- ring to the attacks on Mellon its says: “Their opposition to the bonus, of course, is not based on their as- sociation with Mr. Mellon. If they had never met Mr. Mellon, they would be against the bonus. And «that is true because they are busi- ness men. Everyone knows that nearly all business men are against the bonus... “Thus it is cledr that the attack on Mr. Mellon’s, business associates is a part of the general attack on business men for daring to give money to help circulate the busi- ness arguments against the bonus bill. f; “These leaders are deliberately Reompoting cles warfare in order to silence sane economic argu- ments against the bonus bill. “In thus deliberately arousing class fi the pro-bonus leaders have done best to intimidate ‘the business men of the country.
