Page Three , MOVIES HIRE ARTISTS AT $2.35 A DAY Hays Admits Movieland Czars Exploit. Labor By L, P. RINDAL, (Worker Correspondent.) LOS ANGELES, Cal., Jan 22,—Will H. Hays, president of the Motion Pic- ture Producers’ Association, let the cat out of the bag on his arrival here the other day when he said, in effect, that production and distribution can’t be carried on successfully at all with- out the workers, As pointed out be- low, Hays no doubt, meant work by hand as well as brain. Neither money bags nor pull in high places can run machinery—only well directed labor power can do that. Hays’ statement follows: “The most significant feature of the year {s the rapid development of man and woman power. Leaves Nothing. “Our businéss is built largely upon personnel. Take away our directors, our actors, our writers and we have nothing left but a highly organized production, distribution and exhibi- tion machine with nothing to keep it running. “The only reason the 600 motion pictures produced within, the year are not all of the quality of the 200 outstanding ones is. that we do not have 600 great novels or great plays in a 12-month, The necessary man Dower does not exist.” So we see that there is not brain power enough among the movie czars themselves to write “great novels or great plays.” They have to depend on poorly paid artists to do that. Nor can they do any other kind of useful labor. Useless parasites is the right name for them, Their only interest in life is like other capitalist exploit- ers—is to pile up wealth from the Sweat and blood of the workers. Artists at $2.35 a Day. The extras (now elevated to “ar- tists” by the bosses in order to make them feel proud of their misery) are no doubt included in the term “ac- tors,” for without them no pictures can be produced. In spite of that, the earning power of these people is as low as $2.35, net, a day—with jobs few and far between. Mechanics of all kinds such as elec- tricians, carpenters, painters, plaster- ers, and other workers were left en- tirely out of the picture by “Papa” Hays, These workers are just as necessary in the movie game as direc- tors, actors and writers, a fact which Mr, Hays: can’t get away from. He will not even try to evade it if press- ed hard enough. Does Hays Earn It? Will Hays himself draws a fat sal- ary, said to be $150,000 a year, not on account of his ability along any line of work in the picture industry—but simply because of his influence as a polished politician with pull in Wash- ington, D. C., thru Wall Street. Next to the capitalist press, the mo- tion picture industry, as it is conduct- ed today, is the greatest weapon in the hands of the master class to keep the workers from doing some serious thinking in their own interest. There- fore, stay away from the movies and spend more time reading The DAILY WORKER.

(Worker Correspondent) BALTIMORE, Md., Jan. 22—Two incidents occurred in Baltimore in one day which showed up the Jim Crow character of this city. The Negro public of Baltimore swarmed the theater to hear Roland Hayes, the noted Negro tenor. They were greeted with segregation. The left side of the theater was set aside for the Negroes, the right side for the whites. When the tenor heard of this in- sult to his people he refused to sing, but after a conference with the man- ager who stated “he meant no wrong” and that there was no animosity dis- played, the tenor sang. The second scene was enacted bY Points Our Leader Judge Robert F. Stanton in circuit court No, 2, when he issued an in- junction forbidding Negroes to occupy the building at 1100 W. Franklin St. Neighbors, white, brot suit against a property owner who had rented his home to a Negro family. The Negro family will now be compelled to va- cate. Will the colored race allow such se- gregation to exist undisturbed, or will they voice a protest? This segrega- tion will exist in this country as long as the Negro race permit themselves to be Jim Crowed by capitalist justice. The only way this will be eliminated is by joining the militant Negro work- ers. Join in the ranks of those who refuse to be Jim Crowed. Help in the organization of the American Negro Labor Congress. University Students Controlled. by Moscow, Laments Ohio Physician (By A Worker Correspondent.) COLUMBUS, Ohio, Jan. 22.—Assert- ing that the students of the Ohio State University are taking orders from Moscow and bunching together socialists, the League for Industrial Democracy and Communists, Dr. Clar- ence Maris, Columbus physician and political writer made it clear to all thinking and informed people that he is an ignoramus of the highest order. Then to show up. his stupidity still more he volunteered the information that the professors who signed the resolution calling for optional military training in the high school were reds because he had seen their names among the “forty-eighters”! A vote has been taken of the Ohio State University students on the ques- tion of whether they favor continu- ance of compulsory military drill for freshmen and sophomores. Way SEND A SUB!

Says Religion Will End Capitalist Atrocities By a Worker Correspondent. NEW YORK CITY, Jan 22.—Judge Jean Norris, the only woman judge in New York City, spoke on “Our criminal courts—their development of court care and practise where women are concerned,” at a meeting of the} Women’s Trade Union League. Judge Norris is a typical bourgeois judge, self confident and haughty and dis- playing the same lack of understand- ing of the social problems of today as the male members of the courts, She explained that she, like the other judges, work on a circuit procedure, moving from the family to the juve- nile departments, and on to the other courts each week, she being attached to the woman's court, in which she is particularly interested. Curse of Capitalism. The wayward minors department of the court, dealing with girls be- tween the ages of 18 and 21 reveals the horrible path traveled by the daughters of the working class, espe- cially that part of the working class where pitifully low wages do not per- mit of decent homes with privacy for each member of the family and from which uneducated, untrained girls are forced atan early age to start for the labor market and work always for low wages. All girls brought into this court are examined for venereal in- fection; 6Q per cent of them are found to be suffering from syphilis or, gonorrhea—some months the number running up to 85 per cent. All these girls are compelled to receive treat- ment at some city hospital, after) which, unless they are taken home| by parents or husbands, they are} placed on probation when they must live and work under the strict surveil- lance‘of the court. In answer to many questions, Judge Norris stated that economic condi- tions, low wages, etc., had very little if any effect on morals (legal). She claimed that instilling in the young girls the proper respect for the church, and compelling them to attend reli- gious services was the remedy for the| ” p.m. A Jakira. New Brighto#—D. E.
