(By Mail). —I wish to write a few lines for The |DAILY WORKER about local labor j haters. Organize Children At the beginning of 1928 the strik- ing miners, of whom I am one, real- ized the necessity of organizing the ‘children, Our slogan was that we | will organize the children in spite of Jall obstacles. We did or; ganize them because we saw that we have to teach "the youngsters to be on the side of labor and not with the capitalists. Thus the Young Pioneers started with a membership of 300 or more. ‘This marked the rise to “action” of | labor- fakers, stool-pigeons, etc., of ‘the bosses and of Lewis. The spies read lies about the children’s clubs, ting that they were taught not to go to school and church. They’ poi- oned the minds of many parents who afterwards did not send their children to the meetings where they would ,learn something which would be of ‘benefit to them as workers in the future. They would learn never to |be tools of the capitalists, but would, jon the contrary, smash all attempts of the capitalist class to oppress the workers. Had the older folks such jan opportunity as their children have ow, they would not be in the present | reat coal strike of life and death, | These narrow minded stoolpigeons should have been taught this and per- haps they would be on the side of the trikers and not be committing such jhorrible acts. The religious move- ‘ment, catholic and protestant alike, forgot one arother’s creed, allied themselves wit]: the bosses, Lewis and jhis henchman, to crush in the bud all "|movements for organization. | Father Skrak The jeader of this movement ‘was | Father Skrak of the catholic church. I would not want to have a father like that. The reason for this I will show shortly. He included in his gospel direct at- tacks against those who want to do |something for the labor movement. He criticized the Save-the-Union Committee and the miners who send |their children to Communist meet- lings. He warned his church lambs !not to send any of their boys or girls to these meetings. He stated before jth. J. S. Senate that the children are being taught not to go to church (not |to bring a last cent for the weekly collection, he means) nor attend school. .He seems to know every- | thing, yet he was never at any Com- | munist meeting. One Pioneer, 13 years of age, told} |him what she thought of him. He | superintendent. I asked myself vhether he was a man and came to It happened that some time before \eeived scab coal from the company The coal because they thought he was |with them.

Anti- Training Camp| Bills Stir Police (By a Student Correspondent) WASHINGTON, D. C. (By Mail). —‘Schools to Ignore Anti-War | i | | | recent issue of the Washington Sun- day “Star,” commenting upon the re- cent display of Anti-CMTC posters on the walls of Washington high schools. | The “Post,” the “Herald,” and other | local newspapers state in one breath that Mr. Stephen E. Kramer, in| charge of military training of the local schools, says that “they: want us to get excited, and personally, I don’t | think we will.” In the same article it says that the superintendent of the local police, Major Hesse, issued orders to the entire police force, say- ing that “placards signed ‘Young Workers (Communist) League of America,’ expressing opposition to] the citizens’ military training camps, have recently been found posted on} the corridors of business high school and elsewhere. Be on the lookout for any one placing these posters, and, if possible, arrest the person or persons respongible therefore and present the facts to the prosecuting officers at police court.” The local war-mongers surely place ‘themselves in a ridiculous position, when in their pretension to “ignore ‘the plastering of the Anti-CMTC \leaflets,” the newspapers are stirred ‘to announcements such as Communists Ordered by Major Hesse;” “Attack Training Camps;” \“Communist Poster Stirs Police 'Chief.” Poor Major Hesse! His legs must have shaken badly when he read those posters, exposing to the youth of Washington the true role of the ‘CMC as the bosses’ tool to prepare cannon fodder for the coming big ‘scrap between Wall Street and an- ‘other out‘it of parasites or for the ‘contemplated attack upon the only Workers’ Republic, the Soviet Union. |Moreover, we are somewhat inclined to doubt the tranquility of Mr. Allan |Davis, principal of business high school, and Dr. Franklin W. Ballou, superintendent of the local public I don’t call it unionism when he had 70 per cent scabs in his school who were warmed by the union coal while the expelled children were freezing and starving throughout the winter. There is one woman whom we call Sister Cockeye who brings him lies of our meetings, all of which he be- lieves. She was expelled from the Women’s Auxiliary because she tried | to break up the organization. She | went around from house to house and | told the women not to go to the meet- “Crowds of miners’ committees be-| accused ner of being sent by the |ing and that when she would become lit- | |the head of @ new organization she would repay them. Thus far she has failed to corrupt the organization. There are many other traitors We must get rid of them. We must block all their moves. We must smash every attack on our strike and proceed to victory.

So they} sing it (sing it very well) now at the | Theatre Masque: | “Twenty lovesick maidens we— Lovesick all against our will....” And that is, as it were, a keynote speech of the Play Arts presentation. The chorus singing is excellent, but the play is all flattened out, reduced o its essential proprieties, which, the prevailing taste on Broadway, is going some. The more enduring parts of Gilbert and Sullivan, the flashing knife work with which the gas bags of aestheti- cism are laid open, are preserved. Donald Kirkley as Bunthorne and Ed- mund Leonard as Grosvenor make one wish that these two and Gilbert could have collaborated to do something about Joseph Hergesheimer. Kirk- ley, especially, is a nimble and earn- est poet with his feet. The noble lords of England appear as affected jackasses. | The thunderous heavy dragoons, schools, at the sudden sight of such enlightening posters. As a matter of fact, they have not yet recovered from the shock of seeing these stars. Nevertheless, we are sure that Major Hesse’s hysterical order to the Washington police won’t dampen in the least the militant spirit with which these young workers and students convey the truth to the high school students about the capitalists’ preparations for imperialist wars. We are sure that many students, after reading these posters, will NOT go to jthe CMTC, but will join us in un- masking the CMTC to show the true function of this institution—to train loyal soldiers, ‘loyal to the parasites of humanity.

Somebody should tell a few. of them that in the re- turn sabre, the point is inserted in the scabbard without three or four un- necessary jabs at the opening. Mary Bokee, as Patience, despite the fact (if it be a fact) stated in the program, that her experience is confined to the Play Arts Guild pro- ductions, manages to make up in startling resemblance to 2 movie ac- tress. In this part, it adds a touch of exoticism, however, and is certain- ly not to be condemned. Patidnee and Lady Jane, done by Gertrude M. Gossman (previous experience not stated by the program) get the most out of their foolery. Probably they will not have to teach school for a living. The very pretty Lovesick Maidens chorus is not a ‘little stiff and careful of its feet. It is swathed in more drapery than is usually need- ed in a chorus, and its movements are too much patterned after the dragoon drill. But it sings well, and that, I suppose, is the main thing. It is a good show, because the peo- ple on the stage give honest and able PE RT SP REM en attention to the beautiful and hum- © orous lyrics of Messrs. Gilbert and Sullivan. But it is not as good a performance as others have done. —V. S. REPUBLIC | JOHN GOLDEN Dinner Intermi GUILD THEATRE A FOLK PLAY BY DUBOSE AND DOROTHY HE THEA., West 42nd Si Matinees Wed. & Sat.
