Recently, anxious to get any work at all, after a long stretch of enforced idleness, I managed to get in as an usher -at the local B, F, Keith’s Pal- ace, the finest theatre in the state of Ohio. Here one sees raw exploitation, par- ticularly of the youth. Here are a few of the regulations. The ushers work from ten to eleven hours a day and seven days a week at the tremen- jdous wage of $15. The least infrac- tion of the many rules or a moment’s tardiness means instant dismissal. On many occasions the boys must work extra shows for no extra pay.

The plumbers themselves do not take this very seriously. It is only a plan to help the plumbers’ helpers from organizing.

But the greatest wrong is done to the Negroes of Cleveland, who are so discriminated against, that, regardless of the number of seats empty, in the orchestra or loges, no Negroes are al- lowed except in the balcony, even tho they pay the regular downstairs prices. To top all this evident and rotten system of exploitation, discrimination and graft, the feature picture recently shown, “We Americans,” is the highest type of flag-waving, glorify- ing the world war. A typical sub- title is a definition of a Socialist wherein one of the characters says, “A socialisfé wants all the money divided up.” Of course, the usual slush, about Fifth Avenue’s uniting with the East Side in marriage, ends the film and the moral we are ex- pected to get is that America is a jland of opportunity and we should be glad to fight for Morgan, Rockefeller and Co. War Danger. It seems that, what with Kellogg peace plans and peace conferences, and-war films we are being rapidly prepared for a new world war, pre- sumeably against the workers’ gov- ernment of the Soviet Union.
