DETROIT WOMEN WORKERS HOLD DEFENSE BAZAAR Elaborate “Program for March 8 DETROIT, Mich., Feb. 19.— Those who are really fond of an old fashion- ed good time, will do well to visit the bazaar and dance given at the House of the Masses, 2646 St. Aubin, Sunday, March 8, from 5.30 in the afternoon untill way into the night, This affair will be held under the auspices of the Detroit federation of working women’s organizations who, it fyill be remem. bered, gave a very successful supper only a few months ago. This time, we have heard, they are going to do themselves proud. Choice. Bargains They have combed almost every section of this city for fancy and valuable gifts and things for the bazaar and those who are lucky enough to be on the inside, inform us that they are going to take plenty of money along so as to be prepared tc grab off some of the choice bargain that are going to be offered for sale It has been hinted that there is going to be a very elaborate program and most of us outsiders have been hanging around everytime the com- mittee met, trying to find out what's what. So far however, there have been no leaks but we will let our Teaders know of anything we may learn about the program. All we want to say now, is that anyone who knows the “women” knows that their silence is significant. They must have some- thing up their sleeve and are afraid they'll spill it if they say even one word, Excellent Orchestra An excellent orchestra has been en- gaged and those who are fond of hay- ing their toes trodden on will have Plenty of time to divert themselves as there will be dancing galore. All in all it’s going to be one of the biggest affairs of the season. The admission is 25 cents which is outrageously low but as everyone knows the “women” always show the greatest hesitation in going thru a man’s pocket. Come on comrades, on to the Wo- men’s Federation Bazaar for the La- bor Defense. Lets show ‘em that if they know how to prepare a good time for us, we know how to enjoy it. Plan to Ald Inventors NEW YORK; Feb. 19.— “We pro- pose to aid workers with a serious Purpose who have some device of merit, whether it be a toy to amuse youngsters, or an apparatus to speed manufacture, or an improvement in transportation or communication,” an- nounces the newly formed Inventors’ International Institute. The organiza- tion will pass upon practicability of inventions and possibility of obtaining patents. Engineering experts are on _ the staff. (Continued from page 1) bossed the town. and twenty-two churches kept them mujiks under the sway of superstition. St. George brandished his sword, the. kluxers shook in their night shirts, the blind followers of Gom- pers and Green swore by their job trusts and sacred contracts and so the battled raged. There were three champions for ,progress who. urged that as men of honor they should keep their promise to rent the hall. The night shirts, witch burners and others morons won. a glorious victory for god and their sacred institutions. The infidels and bolsheyiks were ban- ished from the holy land of supersti- tion and the ezar8- of "Marshalltown. No meeting was held as the time was too short to make’ other arrangements. This is in sharp contrast to the monster demonstration ‘held recently st Madison Square Garden, ‘New York, when twenty thousand’ bolsheviks and sympathizers, throbbing with protest wgainst the power of the czars and heir retainers, -cheéred enthusiastic- ally for Lenin, Soviet ‘Russia and the overthrow of capitalism” ap zonen stition. Intolerance at Sioux City A hot battle raged in the Labor As- sembly at Sioux City over the rent- ing of the Labor Temple to the Work- ers Party. It started in with but three for fulfilment of their bargain to rent the hall, and after two hours of hot argument it ended with a majority in favor. » Great credit should be given to those who, in the face of overwhelm- ing odds; battled for the right of free speech and against the damming up of the avenues of education. “Boycotting” the Bolsheviks At Fort Dodge, Boone and Cedar Rapids the trade union mémbers and former socialists ignored the Workers Party meetings held theré.

There is seldom any union among them and the wages go no further than about fifty cents per hour. They are a tre- mendous reservoir for scabs and strikebreakers as has been shown time and again in all industrial cent- ers and on the railroads and in the mines, Nothing is being done to reach them with education, and those small towns with labor movements—thru fear and intolerance upon the part of the labor bureaucrats that is passed on in their journals and newspapers— are intolerant of all new ideas. The writer was told of a case in Fort Dodge where out of eighteen boys who had grown out of the Boy Scouts sixteen of them joined the state militia. The other two wanted to join their comrades but their uncle, a union member and former socialist, threatened to disown them. Mission of the Militant The Workers Party must get in touch with one or a few militants in every one of these small towns, or- ganize them into the party if possible but at least influence them to spread literature broadcast in the communi- ty. Members of unions must be in- spired to take up live issues in the labor movement, simple at first until they gain confidence and influence, and then to broaden it out until the entire working class and farmers have been reached with propaganda count- eracting the poison of the capitalist press. Men and women of average intelligence and who have energy and courage can soon establish prestige and leadership among the masses. Tue masses, as we have observed in the Iowa campaign, are apathetic and shun direct contact with any new idea; can be reached by a local mil- itant thru the unions or by the per- sistent broadcasting of literature. Leaders who are militants are sadly needed in the small towns. SHORT ITEMS ABOUT MINNEAPOLIS MOVEMENT All party members and sympathiz- ers should take note of the following affairs to be held in Minneapolis dur- ing the next few weeks and be pres- ent. “Beauty and the Bolshevik.” Due to the failure of the films to arrive in Minneapolis for the sched- uled showings on Feb. 13 and 14 they will be shown at the Finnish Hall, 1817 Western Ave. No., ‘on Wednesday, Feb. 18, at 8:00 p. m. and at the Labor Lyceum, 1426, 6th Ave. No., on Thursday, Feb. 19.

While the hig, audience of workers cheered the Red army love story from first scene to last, the critics were not so well pleased, This was no safe and sane “Polikushka” whose suicide end- ed his participation in the class strug gle, this was,a picture of the new order that nestored the land to the peasant and.won the younger genera- tion, wholesale and retail, for the Bolsheviks. The critics did not like it. They sniffed at its.“propaganda,.” The act- ing was “traditionally Russian.” After our own slick, Hollywood output, the characters, costumes and setting look unkempt, tasteless and ramshackle.” But even the critics felt compelled to give some credit. “For all that” con- cedes the writer for the Transcript, who had been most bitter in denun- ciation, “the picture has a refresh- ing charm—refreshing and charming perhaps because it is so distinctly un- American in its light, casual handling of humorous bits, often made humor- ous in spite of themselves, and for the devil-may-care attitude towgrd the whole thing. The actors seem to be thoroly enjoying themselves.” The Advertiser report was short but friendly:, “A large and appreciat ive audience ,at Symphony hall saw the Russian screen comedy, Thc Beauty and the Bolshevik, a romance of a Red army commandant and an ‘enemy maid,’ whose father had lots of vodka andymore rubles. The Soviet army brigade, which was used in this picture, showed excellent horseman ship, winning: frequent applause. Th« picture, made-in Russia, is realistic in its treatment of the love story.” The Christian Science Monitor said the film)is “particularly notable, in contrast with American films, for the good will.and simplicity of its humor and for, its total disregard for material splendor. No hint of the star system mars it. The actress who plays the ‘Beauty’ is genuine and frolicksome.”, | j. Nor did the;press neglect the com- panion piece, Russia in Overalls. The Traveller, reported, “ ‘Russia in Overalls,’ a combination of travelogue and newsreel,-put out by the Interna- tional Workerg’ Aid was undeniably interesting. .Although this, too, was a@ case of the; Soviet putting its best foot forward, it was done success- fully. It left.the impression of a live- ly industrial outlook for Russia.” The Monitor said).that this film showed “those .who :have given money for agricultural, mining and manufactur- ing machinery, what had been accom- plished, The.film gave views of lum- bering in Siberia, of garment-making in Moscow, of fishing on the Volga, and of oil drilling and mining near Baku.” Many cities have already seen these films and many more are Hsted to run shows. A list of current dater is published in another column. But there are hundreds of cittes where working class organizations, in one way or another, could run this and other film programs with certain suc cess. Full information will be given labor and liberal organizations in in- quiry to International Workers’ Aid, | 19 8S. Lincoln St., Chicago, Ill.

UNCLE Wwical LY’S TRICKS Dr. Krishna-Lectured At Fingith Lecture Coursés,in: Worcester By HELEN KAI KAHKONEN (Special to’ The Dally Worker) WORCESTER, Mass., Feb. 19.— The lecture courses conducted under the auspice of the Finnish Federation of the Workers Party, are coming to a close. In these eight weeks we have already had all the lectures on biolo- gy, sociology, history of the socialist and Communist movement, co-opera- tive movement and political economy. Dr. Krishna» of India, a revolution- ist for 36 years, lectured on Colonial Imperialism, History: of Aryan Race, How to Cultivate & Good Memory and How to Think. Dr, Krishna, who is a doctor of philosophy and psychology was a very interesting lecturer. In his lecture, How to Think, he gave us interesting advice. His lecture on Colonial Imperialism was on European contries, imperialist dolicies in Asia and Africa. How he European capitalists rob the peo- ple of Asian and African colonies. In India there are 150,000,000 natives that can afford rice soup onzy once day. English capitalists spend $225,- 900,000 for militarism m {ndia to keep an iron dictatorship on the natives, and only $12,000,000 for schoots, hos- pitals and other public institutions for the welfare of the people of India. The social revolution of Europe will be postponed until these colonies free themselves from European capitalist domination. The lecture on, How to Cultivate a Good Memory and Powerful Brain, was really a useful subject to all the students here. Men like Marx and Lenin had good memories and pow- erful brains, and so were of great use to the Communist movement. Work- ers must win and they should have a powerful brain, that they all can be good fighters for the cause that will free the proletanians from capitalist slavery.
