Shipping Board is taking a hand in the prose- cution of the three leaders of the Marine Workers’ Industrial Union who are now in a federal jail await- trial for urging the strikers to sh the injunction. The Shipping Board, with the help of the Interna- tional Longshoremen’s Association and the International Seamen's Union, was effectively breaking the strike, when the Marine Workers’ In- dustrial Union took a hand, urging the strikers to put up a militant fight. This was followed with mass picketing by Negro strik a se- vere fight between poiice and the strikers, and hundreds of arrests. Even strikers who stand near the dacks are arrgsted. Despite the arrests and terror, the Marine Workers’ Industrial Union is issuing leaflets to the strikers. The latest leaflets addressed to Negro and white striking longshoremen urged} them to elect a rank and file strike | committee and take charge of the| strike. i | The leaflet went on to say: “You have been striking for four weeks, and the ships have been| loading and discharging. You must | op this! The only way you can do this is by spreading the strike. The I. S. U. and the IL. L. A. are working with the bosses and refuse to call out the seamen.

The film deals particularly with the efforts and activities of the revolutionists to smuggle arms past the very elabor- ate police and spy system. which Czarist Russia erected against the efforts of the toiling masses to free themselves. Hence the title, “Tran- sport of Fire.” The film is in keeping with the excellent record established by Am- kino for productions are a istic and depi into existence through Wagner's ac- tivity.

Adamic, as an ex- machine gunner in the world war, of- fers to do the shooting. It’s all a joke of course, just a merriment between Broun and Adamic, neither of whom ever goes hungry, but, “There’s many a true word spoken in jest!” The mere fact that Broun, who will address the so- Cialist meeting today on unemploy- ment is utterly opposed to the mass demonstration of the jobless to force just such a massacre, Workers who know what hunger means in all seriousness, will turn aside from these jesters, and build Unemployed Councils. —H.

At first she refused to talk | to the committee of the unemployed, | but when she discovered thousands | of workers were behind them, she| gave in. The committee demanded that re- lief be given to the unemployed with- out the usual third-degree questions prying into the private lives of each unemployed worker. They pointed out that the Jawish Aid had de- liberatedly broken up a family of eight because they refused relief. The action of the Unemployed Council is convincing the workers in the Lawndale district that by organ- izing they can get more relief, \in- stead of depending on the vultures of the charity organizations. Another march was organized to the Jewish Aid, and when the super- intendent would not see the unem- ployed, they marched through the| building. One of the unemployed} told the council how he was thrown out by a thug when he asked for relief. One woman said she asked for charity, was refused, and the next day she found her husband dead of starvation. “Mooney Series Continued Tues. The Mooney series exposing the manner in which the A. F.

They ran away from home in the hope of seeing their smailer | brothers and sisters have a little more | to eat. They trekked northward, two little hungry figures. Where they slept and how they got food no one knew. But near Sandusky at dawn, a tramp espied two huddled figures | in a ditch. There was snow on the| ground and the figures looked frozen and cold. They were not dead however, and the Sandusky police picked them up as runaways. And now Balyint, who wants his sons to come back, has no money for their transportation. The Balyints live in a small house that is cold and only the kitchen} somewhat heated. Unemployed, un-| able to obtain relief, the family of | two parents and eight children are living on the ragged edge of starva- tion. | HIPPODROME . | “Kept Husbands” the new Radio | Picture, makes its initial bow at the Hippodrome today.
