The showing of “The Beauty and the Bolshevik” at the Pabst Theater next Saturday, March 7, will be a proud and -happy occasion for the workers of Milwaukee. The theater is one of the finest in the city and the committee in charge has been studying the best presentation methods of the leading theaters and is translating them into working class terms. In the place of the stiffly starched man; nikin ushers by which cunning show- men try to give their patrons the il- lusion of superiority, there will be friendly young workers to guide the audience to their seats. Of course, there will be costumes—but they will be on the order of Red army uni- forms. . The ,able and energetic committee in charge: has left nothing undone to assure a crowd. Thousands of inyita- tions have been mailed to sympathiz- ers and to the school teachers who have on past occasions shown their great interest in educational pictures of Russia. Placards are being dis- played on the street cars and hun- dreds of posters are” being put up. The measure of success is usually in direct proportion to the hard work put into the arrangements. On this basis the Milwaukee show should be very successful indeed, Oklahoma Town Demands Work for All Jobless PICHER, Okla., March 1. — Seven hundred persons in this town have signed petitions demanding that con- gress guarantee to all the right to work for six) hours a day at wages of $6.00 a day.

Y., March 1, — The clean books bill, giying- sweeping powers to courts to take books off the market for alleged offenses agaifist public morals, seems coomed to de- ‘feat because it would interfere with the business interests of publishing houses. This measure is sponsoréd by Sen- ator Love of Brooklyn. It is pointed out that the bill would undoubtedly be used to stop publication of books crossg conventional lines on other things than sex. Booxs cealing with | advanced socid{ and economic the- ories would be subjected to censor- ship at the whim of judges, district at- torneys and petit juries. Senator Love, in his final argument before ‘the committee aamitted that present as evidence, of the need for censorship had not been found to vio- late existing obscenity statutes. His proposed bill, he urged, would enable more drastic censorship than that now possible. Snes BEAUTY INVADES, STEEL TOWN.

Dear Russian Caivaden: We, the American comrades, are sending our heartiest greetings to you! We hope that some day we will also succeed in the same way as you have. Here in America it is pretty hard for us, children of the working class, because most of us must work in the factories before we are old enuf to get and education. The time we should be spending in school we have to work in the factories of our greedy capitalists. In America the capital- ists make children work because they are cheaper while their parents walk the streets without any work to do. That is why we wish to succeed in the same way as you did. We wish . to make America equal to all chil- dren so that we will all get thesame education, and destroy child labor. With heartiest good wishes, The American Young Leninists.
