LOS ANG 8, Cal.—In connec tion with the Workers’ bookshop and} iibrary, 322 West Second street, the Comrades are also issuing a monthly, type-written, paper, the Library Bul- letin, with Comrade Rose Rubin as editor, The American Worker cor- respondent started very much in the same manner as this wewcomer, and every interested worker has a chance, of course, to help in the improvement. According to the January issue of the Library Bulletin, the library staff! comprises the following 12 members: Victor Cutler, general librarian; Paul C. Reiss. Edith Berkman,) Rosenfield, Esther Swed, Louise Lib- art, G, Libart, Albert Shanks, Helen Airoff, Abe Zimmerman, L. Schnei-| derman. At a recent meeting it was decided: “That the staff shall meet once a month; that a class in library tech- nique shall be conducted by Cutler to! train librarians for more efficient work; that a publicity campaign bg} inaugurated without delay; that lec-, tures on various subjects shall be held as often as possible; that the first! lecture be held on Jan. 28th; that we plan to give an affair (concert, etc.) to raise money for the library.’ The first lecture will be held Fri-| day evening, January 28th at 8 p. m.,| in the library hall, with Robert Whit-, aker as the speaker? His subject will be: “Western Authors I have Known, 4nd Their Significance to the Class Struggle.” | ‘This will also be the first general! membership meeting of the library! members and their friends. The Workers Library Bulletin has a humor column already. The staff, is also planning, as a regular feature, a column devoted exclusively to re- views of current labor literature. At the “Keep The DAILY WORK- ER’ conference, January 24, a part | ot the order of business was: | 1. The annual Lenin drive for sub-| scriptions, 2.

MOSCOW, Dec. 31.—Out of the 146 million or so population of the USSR, 3 million are Jews, or ten per! cent of the urban population of the USSR. In Ukraine there are 1,900,- 000 Jews; in White Russia and the RSFSR—about half a million in each republic, and the remaining 100,000 Jews live in the Transcaucasian and Central Asiatic Republics. About 10 per cent of all the Jew- ish population of the USSR belong to the well-to-do class, some 50 per cent are workers, civil servants, peas- ants and petty merchants, while about 40 per cent are still living in a con- dition of semi-pauperism. On January 1, 1925, there were: 120,000 Jewish workers and 180,000 Jewish civil servants in all the trade- unions of the Soviet Union. Includ- ing the members of families, the Jew- ish labor population reaches 300,000 men and women, the civil servants with their families totalling some 500,- 000. Besides this, there are about 50,000 unemployed among the Jew- ish population. The total number of Jewish labor and civil servants’ popu- lation thus reaches 350,000 men and women, This Jewish toiling population is chiefly concentrated in Ukraine and White Russia. There are about 900,- 000 Jewish handicraft homeworkers, including members of their families. They nearly all live in Ukraine and White Russia. As for Jewish peas- ants, there actually are about 150,- 600 of them in all the USSR. Experi- ence has shown that Jews, as peas- ants, are gradually mastering their new business, and that after a year or two of farming their fields are tilled quite as well and yield quite as satisfatcory harvests as those of their neighbors, the original peasants, ; Same Lore Contradicted by Member Present at His Conference «Editor The DAILY WORKER:— I am sending you an acount of the New York Volkszeitung conference in which I wish to contradict some o Lore’s tions, which he printed a an ans to your editorial of las Sunday. I am a member of the con ference committee, and am intereste to h@il some of the ‘lies of the righ wing opposition of whch Lore is th leader. In an articie in the Volkszeitung dated, January 25, about the. Volks- zeitung conference, Lore osserts tha ten members of the conference were excluded beeause they had at previous meetings advanced political arg? ments, and thereby disturbed the work of the conference. Lore There. Lore was present at the meeting of Thursday January, 20, the night when the expulsion took place. He is wrong when he ‘says, that the ten members were expelled in a regular and ordinary fashion; they were not. They were lynched, since every form of written “and unwritten law was ignored. No charges were preferred, nor any cause for any charges shown. The lynchers evidently based the rea “MOSCOW.

Isvestia gives great prominence to Tokio dispatches stating that Foreign Minister Shidehara has reaffirmed Japan’s friendship for the Soviet Union. Hails Japanese Stand. “This declaration is of extreme sig- nificance for the constellation of the powers fo the far east,” said Isvestia. The Soviet press approves of Amer- iea’s unwillingness to give up its son for their expulsion policy on the charge of an anti-Lore propaganda article, which, it seems, was spon sored by Lore himself. Didn’t Know Victims. That the railroading was carrie on by a conspiracy is proven by th fact that some of the right wingers who voted for the expulsion, were un known to those present, and did no know, whom they were expelling How artificial is the statement of Lore can be seen by the fact that one of the expelled delegates had only on one occasion taken the floor, since he is no speaker, and certainly did not cause any disturbance. Besides, the right wingers were always. in the majority, and mostly held the floor, tolerating nothing except such as was suitable to them. Lore Laughed. Lore’s charge is therefore nothing | but loose parrot talk, and evaporates in the air. The lynchers wanted their victims, and Lore sat back in the hall, enjoying himself. The spirit of these lynchers was the same as among those. of the south, who, with the tactics of lawlessness beat negroes to death. It is up to the workers, and the | progressive delegates to the confer- jence, to deal with such despots and criminals in a most energetic manner, so that the march of progress shail not be hampered any longer.

PEKIN, Jan. 31.—The Pekin gov- ernthent finds “little that is new or startling” in the statement of Secre- tary of State Kellogg relative to the American policy in China, it was stated today.

The pope tonight in Osserva- tore Romano, in a letter addressed to Cardinal Gasparri, protests against the duee’s order disbanding the Catholic Boy Scouts of Italy unless they enroll as members of the nation-| al balilla and place the fascist em- blem on their flags, as an invasion on the pope’s right as shepherd of souls, The pope holds out the olive branch to the duce by intimating that if catholic bishops are entrusted with supervision of the moral and religious training of the national balilla, he will give full liberty’ to the catholic: scouts to join juvenile fascisti organi- zations. The general opinion is that if the government ignores the request of the pontiff for spiritual supervision of Italian youth by cathoclic chaplins, the breach between church and state will become wider than when Mus- solini assumed power.

DRAMA “The Sea Woman’s Cloak”—A Realistic ‘Sea Drama. By LEON BLUMENFELD, N.its @uphemistic production of plays and players, the. American Laboratory Theatre has attained an altitude seldom approached by the average “art” theatre, John Mason Brown in his comment about reper- tory coming to Broadway, in the pro- gram states: “The four theatres (The Neighborhood Playhouse, The Ameri- can Laboratory Theatre, The Theatre Guild, and Eva Le Gallienne’s newly organized Civic Repertory Theatre) that are pledged to repertory will, in different ways, afford New York the most vital experiment of re¢ent sea- sons. For years the need of reper- tay, its benefits*to actors and its value in creation of a perfected en- semble have been persuasively stated by theorists and practitioners alike.” Mr. Brown stresses an element which is, incidentally a deciding cir- cumstance in the position a theatre. occupies in the community. Reper- tory makes theatres. “The Sea Woman’s Cloak,” which is one of the five plays in the reper- tory of this comparatively new or- ganization, is a production with not a” few intrinsic qualities. Amelia Rives (Princess Troubetzkoy) is its author, and she has penned a highly imaginative and far-reaching opus, seconded. by sincere craftsmanship and snatches of sheer dramatic elo- quence, It is a sea-tale of Ireland, vichly adored with simplicity—the variety that only «gn organization like the American Laboratory Theatre can lend concentration. There are wild and grotesque sequences that will linger in your memory for days after. The matter of setting has been ‘handled adroitly and the views of a sea-cave on the coast of Ireland and the fisherman’s cabin indicate the humbleness that typifies the Irish. Acting that defies reproach with the exception. of an instance here and there, helps to enhance the color of “The Sea Woman’s Cloak.” Walter Duggan, as the intrepid fisherman, Walter Hecht, in the part, of his younger brother, a coward at heart, Martha Johnson in the role of Ganore, a mysterious sea-woman, Celeste Pir- witz, and Dora Schwartz were all capital in their respective character- izations. The village priest, por- trayed by George Auerbach, was somewhat boisterous in his part, but fitted in his position neatly. xt “The Sea Woman’s Cloak” is a realistic drama, realistic in practical-| ly every sense of the term, marred by little and forceful and emphatic in its movements. It has the stamp of approval of this critic, H BROADWAY GOSSIP ! Two openings are scheduled for to- night: “The Wandering Jew,” by E.
