He was in the vanguard of the American intellectuals who, recogniz- ing the decay of capitalist culture and the powerful growth of a new and vital proletarian culture, threw in their lot with the revolutionary ‘working class. More, he was @ luminous example of the power which a skilled and Sensitive use of the weapon of Marxist criticism confers in the field of culture as in all other fields. With this point of view he earned an international reputation as one of the leading cinema’ critics of the world. “With his sensitive understanding of the social meaning of Marxism in culture, he was distinguisshed by a revolutionary gaiety and humor which greatly enhanced ihe value of his work. -He combined with his great talents a tireless revolutionary energy, @iviig his time unreservedly to the movement. It cannot be doubted that the energy with which he served the movement even when he was suffering acute pain from a serious aiimeni, contributed to his untimely death at the age of 33. ~The greatest honor the intellectual and cultural workers of the move- ment can do their comrade will be to carry on with ever greater vigor the — laying a firm foundation in America for a revolutionary proie- tart a culture, to which he contributed so much. _ A Forward Step The Cleveland Trade Union conference to be held August 26th and 2th will be one of the most important ever held. The call for this con- ference was signed by some 90 individuals, most of them as direct repre- sentatives of their organizations, others as individuals who enjoy con- siderable influence in their organizations. Among them are the unions affiliated to the Trade Union Unity League of which William Z. Foster is general secretary; supporters of the C. P. L. A. led by A. J. Muste; some.30 locals of the American Federation of Labor, the A. F. of L, rank and file Committee for Unemployment Insurance, headed by Louis Wein- ‘stock, and the Unemployed Councils and Unemployed Leagues. Jt is the purpose of the conference to stimulate and extend the rising wave of strikes and other struggles that clearly indicate that the w0™<ers are determined to resist the attacks being carried on under the banner of the National Recovery (Slavery) Act. It is necessary to work out a defi- nite joint program of action that can raise these struggles to a higher stage, direct and coordinate them into effective channels and to develop @ nation-wide struggle for unemployment and social insurance. This ‘requires a definite plan for combating the government and the employers and especially its agents—the Greens, the Lewises, the Hillmans—whom it uses to paralyze action of the workers and to help fasten tighter the chains of slavery. * ‘The purpose of the conference is not to launch some new trade union center. ‘The A. F. of L. workers must understand that it is not the purpose of the conference to break them away from their unions. is tn enable them to fight better through developing oppositional move- Yrents within the A. F. of L. It is also quite conceivable that as a result = ‘this conference many of the organizations, now independent, can be ‘brought into ‘closer understanding and joint work with the: industrial unions affiliated with the Trade Union Unity League. Such moves, carried “out on the basis of workers’ democracy, can tremendously strengthen the fighting front of the working class. It would help the members of the K. F. of L. unions to build up independent leadership in their own organizations. It would be a big step forward in the carrying through of 2 the aim to which the Trade Union Unity League adheres, namely the one * union in each industry based upon the class struggle. +! “> But above all, the aim of the Cleveland conference is the united front { of the workers still adhering to the various organizations. This is essen- tial for the purpose of beating back the fierce attacks now being made. This can really be achieved only if those elements sponsoring the confer- ence throw in all their efforts and arouse the greatest support for the conference. “<The unions affiliated with the Trade Union Unity League especially the purpose of extending their contacts with the workers, organizing in the shops, recruiting thousands of new workers into their organizations. The conference will not be a success if it merely brings together the followers of the T. U. U. L. and the C. P. L. A. It will be a success only if it is able to rally new sections of the organized and - unorganized workers. For this purpose the T. U. U. L., the oppositions in the A. F. of L. unions must take up concretely the visiting of the most importafit A. F. of L. unions, the independent unions, and appeal directly to the member- ship. Special attention must be paid to the workers. now in struggle. It ‘should be our aim to have representatives at Cleveland from all groups of workers that have recently been in struggle or groups of workers who are now preparing themselves for struggle. If this situation is properly utilized, the Clevelang@ Conference may well become a milestone in the development of a powerful united front of the workers which will smash the aims of the Roosevelt Slavery Act.

I. PAWTUCKET, | R. Ir, July 20— | About 900 workers of the Royal Silk Co. and 100 from the National Weav- ing Co. joined the strike movement which is now spreading through the} silk center of Central Falls and Paw- tucket. This action brings the num- ber of strikers up to 2,000. Three thousand workers of the | Waypoyset Rayon Co. here won a 30 per cent increase when the company, fearing a strike hastened to forestall it by granting the workers’ demands. | Francis Gorman, United Textile Workers organizer on the scene of the strike here today cautioned the workers to be “patient and fair.” Just as in the case of the Salem strike and the strike at the Amoskeag in New Hampshire the UTW officials are maneuvering with the company fora committee of intermediaries to step in and arbitrate the strike. May- or Quinn of Pawtucket and Mayor Cadorettte of Central Falls have al- ready been called as “impartial” rep- resentatives to prepare the ground for a sell-out agreement. Only the most vigilant care on the part of the strikers can prevent the UTW offi- cials from their usual betrayal tac- tics.

Among the new strikes today was the one at the Eclipse Needles Co., | shirt plant, where 500 workers walked | | out. When the company bosses lock- ed the doors the workers smashed | | them down and left the plant. Police terror is being more and more invoked by the bosses to curb the | rising strike wave. In Lansdale, Pa., | the picket line of 400 was met by tear | | 888 hurled by sheriffs’ deputies and | | 10 pickets were arrested. | Governor Pinchot: was forced to is- | sue a statement that he was forming | tear gas was “illegal.” It was brought out today that the police commissioner and Boro Councilman in Lansdale, S. Homer Kendig, is himself a mill owner. | This was revealed in a suit by a 17-year old girl, Inez Pierce, for $116 | in wages which was held back by |. Kendig’s mill, At the Merion Worsted Mills, in | West Conshohocken, police attacked 300 strikers, who put up a militant resistance. The day was also featured by a preliminary report of the Legislative Sweatshop Investigating Committee, which, while admitting that sweat- stops exist, tries to give the bosses a clean bill of health by saying that the “industrial establishments of Pennsylvania generally speaking, are wholesome and decent.” Tf that statement is true, what are so many thousands of workers of Pennsylvania striking against?

PAUL, Minn, July 20.—Pack- ing House Workers from the Big | Four Packing plants in this import- ant center gathered at a mass meet- ing called by the Packing House Workers’ Industrial Union and overwhelmingly rejected both a company union and A. F. of L. union in the plants, Three han- | dred and fifty workers from Ar- | mour’s, Swift's, Cudahy’s and the Un'ted Packing Plants were present to hear a discussion on the Indus- trial Recovery Act, The workers cheered when Schneiderman, Karson, Hurwitz and other speakers exposed the real meaning of the Recovery (Slavery ) Act. By unanimous vote they de- cided to join the Industrial Union. Organizational meetings are to be held at every plant followed by a huge mass meeting on Friday, July 28th at which Mother Bloor is scheduled to speak. | } | | MILK PRICE RISES TODAY ALBANY, N.

Unemployed EAST LIVERPOOL, O0.—Although 200 workers attending a meeting of the Unemployed League here voted to strike onthe welfare jobs, George Perkins, a state leader of the organ- ization opposed the action. The Leagues are under the influence of the Muste movement. The unemployed pottery workers work a day a week and in many cases only one day in two weeks for the welfare board in order to get relief. For digging sewer ditch- es théy are paid from $2.80 to $3.50 a day depending on size of family. Although food prices have risen from 30 to 69 per cent here, no in- crease is. given in relief or in the number of: days worked. Workers on relief decided to hold a demonstration before the welfare board and send a committee to pre- sent their grievances, tive committee of the Unemployed League changed the decision to call off the demonstration, and appear) themselves before the board.
