The largest military shows ever known in the United States are being held all over the country, and the gov-| ernment will use Navy Day, and Armistice Day for display of their forces and to try to arouse “pa- triotism” so that the workers will be ready to sacrifice their lives for the interests of Wall Street. In a statement on Navy Day, Secretary Wilbur of the navy de- clares: “N: Day reminds us again that our foreign commerce of near- ly $10,000,000,000—three times the value of the country George Wash-| ington liberated—requires protection by an adequate navy.” In other s, to protect the interest of American capital, which is compet- ing with Great Britain for control of the world markets, the American workers are expected to be ready to sacrifice their lives, “Salvationists” in Jingo Parade, | cz The unity of all the forces of i the army hurch, pa- | ies, ete—is shown by the announcement that following | patriotie ceremonies and parades on November 4, General Hanson E.| Ely, commanding general of the 2nd Corps Area of the army, will!) make a speech glorifying the war is meeting will be h vation A) hich will march in uniform in the military parade, thus| exposing itself as a part of the! army of imperialism, Workers Don’t Realize Danger. | The majority of American work- ers today do not realize that they are living in constant danger of the greatest war in history, and that the conflict may begin at any mo- ment unless and take a against capitalist militarism.

Two old pensants, bowed with toil, were walking hand in hand, their faces illumined with child-like bliss. “‘Well,’ said one, ‘I'd like to see them take away our land again, now.’ “‘Near Smolny the Red Guard was lined up on both sides of the strect, wild with delight. The other old peasant spoke to his comrade ‘I’m not tired,’ he said. ‘I walked on air all the way.’ “On the steps of Smolny about a| hundred Workers’ and Soldicrs’ Deputies were massed, with their banner, dark against the blaze of light streaming out between the arches. Like a wave they rushed down, clasping the peasants in their aris and kiss.ng them; and the pro- cession poured in through the great door and up the stairs, with a noise like thunder. On the platform the presidium rose and made place fer the peasants’ presidium, the two embracing; behind them the two banners were interwined against the white wall, over the empty frame from which the tzar’s picture had pariter uenurneaor eon al-} of | nf Orkneys anc t jover the Falklan | to cmad.

B. | Falk, intends to confer with Mayor Hoan in regard to measures to be jtaken against a leaflet issued by the Workers (Communist) Party under the title: “Reject the Fake Com- munity Fund.” This leaflet states that the col- lection of the Community Fund is accompanied by the intimidation of the workers. We point out that the Community Fund is nothing but a scheme of the capitalists of this city to foree the burden of caring for the sick, old, and disabled workers produced by the capitalist system upon the workers themselves. Reject Charity Scheme. In our appeal we are urging the workers of Milwaukee to reject the hypocritical charity scheme of the employers and to demand higher wages, shorter work days, and the passage of social legislation for the protection of the unemployed, sick, old and disabled workers, the cost of which is to be borne exclusively by tke government and the employ- ers. the mahagement of the funds to be in the hands of the workers, The “socialist” mayor of Mil- waukee pleads ignorance of the meth. ods of intimidation used by the em- pleyers of Milwaukee against the workers in the collection of the Com- munity Fund, Even a superficial in- | Yestigation will prove, however, that this is the case. Demand Showdown. We demand of the City Council a public investigation of the Com- munity Fund and the methods used in obtaining the collections for this \fund, This investigation, however, must be conducted in such a way that the workers who testify will be protected against being victim- ized for their testimony, In making this demand for a pub- lic investigation, we have no illu- sions as to the fate of our demand. ‘e know that the “socialist” alder- men of the City Council will make a united front with the aldermen of |the democratic andg republican par- ties to prevent an investigation. But the false friends of the workers must be exposed for what they are— servants of the capitalist class, not champions of the interests of the workers, We will continue our fight against the vicious institution of the Com- munity Fund in order to make it impossible for the exploiters to rob the workers of a part of their low income, and we are confident that in doing so we will have the fullest support of the majority of the workers of Milwaukee, —B. SKLAR. Dutch Competition, Not Hoover, Ended Rubber Restriction WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.—Julius Klein of the department of com- merce, in calling attention to the ending of the British rubber produc- tion restriction on November 1, tries to credit this benefit sought by American capitalists, to the alleged wily doings of Hoover. However, Klein, in order to make conversation, accidentally told the real reason why the British are dis- continuing their restrictions on rub- ber production in British Malaya Jealousy’ at the Maxine Elliott Tense INE of the most novel and at the same time one of the finest plays |to be produced in New York this season is “Jealousy” now showing at the Maxine Elliott Theatre. It is by Eugene Walter, from the original French of Louis Verneuil, In addition to being a remarkably brilliant drama it proves that a large cast is not necessary to pro- duce a successful play. Only two people are in the cast and in this re- viewer’s opinion the adding of sev- {eral others would not help to im- | written and produced play, The cast consists of Fay Bainter }and John Halliday, who portray a married couple on their wedding night. The play opens with husband and wife entering their apartment jand how after a little small talk they start arguing, The wife’s for- mer lover telephones her and results in her admitting that she had con- ducted an affair with him. } Finally in a jealous rage the hus-| band strangles his wife’s former prove the enjoyment of this well! | sweetheart and when an innocent jman is accused of the murder, de-| | cides to confess, In this’ manner the) | play cémes to an end. | | It is difficult to tell briefly the! | effective way in which this is ali ex- |plained. The telephone, in the past | a dispised fixture in the theatre, in the present instance shows that if used correctly, is a valuable aid to a {good play. Newspapers brought in- | to the newlyweds home, are also im-| | portant in keeping the play in a fine! ;tempo, Through the latter, the hus- band and wife are kept informed of the developments of the murder and help the husband to decide to give, | himself up. | The actor’s lot is-not an easy one. | Both Miss Bainter and Mr. Halli- | day are constantly on the stage and) yet are able to keep the audiences in-| | terest without any so-called comedy relief. Miss Bainter gives her best! performance since her appearance! | several years ago in “Kast is West.” | | Without a doubt this “two man”! play will be the talk of Broadway within a few days and at the same ‘time one of the biggest successes, | A great deal of the credit must | be given to Gurthie McClintic, who directed the performance, The fine hand of this capable stage director | undoubtly helped a lot in the even| |manner and the natural poise dis- | played during the entire play. | | While the plot is built around the usual triangle, a combinetion of superior play ,writing, acting and | direction has turned out a drama} |that all those who are connected with it can well be proud. | The play is produced by A.

DOCK WORKERS OUSTED BY SCAB LABOR Fakers Sell-out Leads to Union Breaking SYDNEY, Australia, Oct. 29. — While the reactionary trade union of- ficials accepted the government de- cision on the Australian dock strike thus surrendering in all the demands raised by the strikers, rank and fil- ers of the union are now without jobs, due to the retention of the non- union seabs by the companies, A street fight between the scabs and disemployed workers occurred this morning as a result of which seven scabs, including four Italians, were taken to hospitals. The fight occurred when unem- ployed union dock workers met the seabs who were on their way to load ships, formerly loaded by the union workers.
