The usual confusion of gathering baggage: making sure one is all there. One counts minutes impatiently, until the train chugs triumphantly at last into the Biali-Ruski station, and a general exodus door-ward begins. Out of the cool, electric-splashed gloom of the railroad station one emerges into glaring sunlight. A moth-eaten arch stands pathetical amid a wide expanse of cobblestone a white-walled church stares at one, its bunch of goldren onions catching chips of sun. before one; down a tube of streets crowded trolley cars along and dang An ancient smell pervades the mel- ancholy buildings, the dead, half- decayed streets; one step into a bit of the past, One wonders if this is th: new world one dreamed and hoped for... . But up the street a gray, square building greets one with a Chicagoey Down the street the shell of another stands amid a zigzag of seaffolds, in the process of construc- tion. The new life is lifting its head, surpassing the old, solid, firm, quiet buildings, symbolizing well the spirit of the life here. Moscow typifies Russia. It 1s a jropping of history. A shapeless monstrosity spawned by ages of tyranny. Grotesque and unplanned, Misery its design, and Despair its master, Brooding places for the en- slaved millions; in the center, fan- astic palaces where titled parasites nce dwelt in drunkennes of wealth.

Therefore with due credit to the comrades in charge of this meet for their success in bringing worker athletes from all parts of the country, including Canada, to participate in this affair, we must severely criticize them and point out their mistake, Comrade Heimo and others of the Arrangements Committee, lacking an understanding of the fundamen- tals of workers sports, appealed to a banking institution to donate for this meet. The bank, being on the alert to show that it is the “friend” of the workers, donated a fine cup. This cup, spattered with engravings advertising the bank, was made the highest award at the meet. Some comrades of this committee even wanted to go further. They insisted that during the distribution of prizes, a speech be made in behalf of the bank, thanking them for their donation, ° a letes compete for prizes donated by | | | trade unions, the workers’ press, co- operatives and other working class rganizations. By having our ath- workers’ organizations, regardless of their value, we will not only be drawing the worker sportsmen closer to the Labor Sports Union but also to the militant working class move- ment, which is the only movement that will build our organization and to which we teach our members to loop up to and follow. This one outstanding example of reformism in our ranks (an ideology which aims to divert the workers from the path of class struggle) shows that there are many petty- bourgeois elements within our ranks who wish to turn our movement in- to reformist channels. We must categorically repudiate and struggle against any expression of such ten- dencies in our ranks. Speaking about reformism in our ranks, the resolution of the August 3 LSU con- ference states that it “categorically| city administration in Reading lets declares that these tendencies are inspired by the pressure of the bos- ses upon our movement, are anti- working class and must be fought mercilessly. The conference declares that it will carry on an uncompro- mising struggle against all anti- working class views and representa- tives in our ranks.” The best means of struggling against such anti-working class views is to draw in every member of the LSU into actual work of build- ing the LSU on the basis of workers from the factories. Every factory should be a basis for an LSU sport club, Every revolutionary union should also have a sport club. The L. S. U. must declare all the prizes donated by business establish- ments out of competition, The De- troit Voima, the winner of this bank trophy should renounce it publicly. Forward to a revolutionary Labor Sports Movement! THE PSYCHOPATH A play in One Act, One Scene. By A. B, Characters: PROFESSOR: A middle-aged man, with elongated, enigmatic face, long, soft mustaches.

The Eteenpain as a revolu- tionary workers paper must be sev- erely criticized for allowing such} material to creep into its pages. If the reporter is a staff reporter of the Eteenpain then he should be re-) moved and a comrade with an under- standing of the class struggle placed) in his position. What is the danger of such reports and particularly such prizes? Firstly into thinking that a bank is his “friend” and that it is donating the “prize” to help the worker sports- men.

The scene takes place on the first floor of a tenement house, on the lowest east side of New York, dur- ing the spring of 1930. The time is about four in the morning, when everyone is either asleep, sleepy or subject to fears and mirages. The curtain opens on the Professor bend- ina over @ glass jar, standing on the table, strewn with notes, text books, forceps, pencils, etc., and, to the left, on the sidewalk, a police- man taking casual peeks through the window at the Professor, who cannot see the policeman, it being quite dark on the street. To the right, there is the hallway, leading to the street and the Professor’s study. PROFESSOR: (Wabbling) This flea shows decided evident of crim- inal tendencies. It must be heredi- tary, for there is no precedent of flea’s warpt brains; and, further- more, it is problematical whether a flea has brains.

At this juncture, or when} all are looking suspiciously through | the window, the professor is bend-| ing low over the jar, his mustaches hanging down and even touching the wall of the jar. The flea is still| seen fleeing the professor's pursuit. It finally lands in his mustaches. Apparently, it bites him, for his face becomes utterly distorted. He writhes in agony and begins to leap up, his right hand in his mustaches and the left in the air.) CHIEF OF POLICE: Sure, coppy! He is as crokoed as anybody I ever clamped my wicked eyes on. And he feels my presence, too. Look! how he jumps around! He is fright- ened. Beat it in, cops! (They all rush in.

(The flea jumps into the Chief’s mua- taches, and the sleuths driven to action by the threat, go after it. They pound his face and head with the blackjacks, trying to kill the flea. The Chief falls to the floor. The sleuths are searching for the flea in his mustaches. One finds it. It is killed. The professor makes his exit during the upheaval.
