However, we must re- cord that in spite of our efforts, we have not as yet been able to reach the rank and file workers of local 3 in this movement. The officials of local 3 succeeded in isolating nearly two thousand bakery workers from the others. This means that we, and the membersof the International will have to penetrate the membership of local 3 and involve them in the cam- paign to force their bosses to main- tain conditions. “We call upon you rank and file bakery workers to keep your eyes open, and watch everyone, and es- pecially those who pretend to be friends of the workers, and see that you®are not misled or your struggles betrayed. We call upon you to take this fight into your own hands. “We call upon the membership of local 3 of the Amalgamated Food Workers to follow the step taken by the United Front and the three In- ternational locals, and in spite of your leaders, participate in this fight, Elect committees in your shop. Raise your voice in protest in your local. Demand that your local become a part of our genuine united front movement. Demand that your local follow the lead of the other locals, and let us fight together for our just demands.” Two Red Collection Days for Daily In Boston, Sept. 17, 18 BOSTON, Sept. 13.—The Daily Worker Drive Committee of Boston calls upon all workers to participate in the two Red Collection Days to save the Daily Worker.

This is a dramatic tale of the Cossacks during the regime of the Czar. In “The Eagle of the Cau- casus” the director, B. A. Mikhin, has tried to bring back again the life and customs of these mountaineers. Mikhin has made use of the natural background of these wild Cossacks by following the policy of all Soviet di- rectors in using very few profes- sional actors. Native talent and the people of this mountain country are the actors. Mikhin has also made good use of the scenario written by Izmail Bei Abaj, a talented writer who is fami- iar with his locale and the people. The story of Zaur, a spirited moun- taineer who is the leader of younger element in his village who rebels a- gainst the grafting and degenerate Princess of the Ozaristic regime who own the land, using the. Hetman’ and! the army to force hardships end taxes on these natives—all of this the director has managed to mould into a graphic drama of the time. The cast is headed by V. Bestaev as the Eagle, N. Sanov, P. Ganta- rina, N. Aganbekova, V. Gunia and G. Tchetchalazvili, The American Park East in the 6th A. D., and at 2075|Premiere is held under the guidance Clinton Ave., in the 7th A. D.

Curry group is willing to run an election and take a chance on injuring Roosevelt's campaign, in or- to cover up its graft and “vin- ” itself through the Tammany machine. Hillouit and the Socialist Party falls right in line with this. Hillouit is chairman of the Social- ist ‘Party national committee. The ourt will give its decision in line | with the best interests of big cavital jin New York, and whichever side is endorsed will cut wages and dis- |charge workers sooner or later. = | Curry and his faction, make a pre- |tense of “democracy” in that they offer to let Walker run again for mayor and “Jet the people decide.” This pretense the Socialist Party tries to give substance to by joining in the court case with the faction of Dethocracy, and of Walker who resigned under charges of graft. Against Wage And Relief Cuts Instead of fighting both Tammany factions, Hillquit appears as the ally of one of them. The Communist Party denounces Tammany as a whole, all its wage cutting anc strike breaking and starvation of the jobless. The Communist Party demands in the name of New York’s million hungr¥ jobless and its millions of struggling workers, in the name of thousands of city employes facing wage cuts, an election for mayor this Fall. It proposes the Negro worker, William L. Patterson as its candidate and calls on the workers to support him in a fight against wage cits and for jobless relief.
