SS.UTAH iby an Gmertoon Seaman - MICHAEL PELL Illustrations by Philip Wolfe THE STORY SO FAR: Slim, a member of the Marine Workers’ Indus- trial Union aboard the S. S. Utah, bound for Copenhagen, Stockholm, Heisingfors, Leningrad and Gdynia, starts a discussion with the other sailors about the defense of the Soviet Union. He quotes the Daily Worker, and hands out a couple of copies, The next day he is warned by the Cap- tain, and While he is out of his bunk, most of his revolutionary literature Now read on!” RITZ was proud of his collection of neckties. During years of voy- aging he had accumulated an assort- ment of cravats in ali possible colors, shapes, and cloths. He kept them strung alongside each other in his locker and kept them as clean and bright as the teeth in his mouth. Now he was at it again,—sorting and ironing his ties, while Slim sat and read aloud to him. Every once in a while Fritz made a remark of ap- proval. Slim continued: For «this reason,» the Marine Workers’ Industrial Union does not limit itself to narrow craft interests in the manner of the A. F. of L. unions -but considers itself always as un integral division of the forces of the working class. It rejects and condems the treacherous “class collaboration” policy of the A. F. of L., whith seeks to delude the work- ers intobelieving that it is possible for them to live in peace with the capitalists, and ‘betrays them into surrendering their organizations to the control of their employers.” Fritz laughed. “You ought to read “You. ought to read that to those 18.U. sailors in there.” that to those I. S. U. sailors in there. And the longshoremen in the a ie om . . roo. 'HE péntryman and the two stew- ards came in. “Phew! That old Mrs. Seaham up there mdkes me crazy,” complained one of the waiters. “Eats her break- fast iffBed, sits in -her cabin all morning, and then kicks if the cabin ain't alk. cleaned out right after Junch,”"- - He was half bald, and looked like he had fst his blond hair worrying over old’ladies’ complaints. The stew- ards had it even worse than the other departments, working 14 hours a@ day, seven days a week, getting low wages, and having to swallow everbody’s’ dirt for’ the two or five dollar tip at the end of the trip. The waiters threw themselves in their bunks, while Slim continued: “While striving constantly for the immediate betterment of ail living conditions of the marine workers, the M, W. I. U. does not limit itsei; to immediate economic demands dlo:i>, but declares that the liberation of the marine work- ers from exploitation is only one part of the revolutionary struggle of the whole working class against the capitalist system. The M.W.LU. urges upon ali its members the most active participation in the general struggles of the working class, economic and political, di- rected. toward the goal of the es- tablishment of a revolutionary workers’ government.” ‘The pantryman, a one-eyed Span- lard, chirped sarcastically: “Hooray for the Reds!” “Aw, shut up, you crazy nut!” call- ed the worried waiter. He got up and took the book out of Slim’s Hand. “Lemme see. Yeah, that's it,—I was to a meeting of that ‘union once— ealled for'the freeing of Tom Mooney . and all political prisoners. I’m going to join up myself when this trip is over. That unioh’s for the stewards ‘two, ain't it?” “Sure, all marine workers, includ- ing the longshoremen.” .

They hadn't had ten minutes rest. “Bet they catch hell off the Stew- ard for listening to your propa- ganda” commented Slim, watching them go into the galley. “How about the fellow who said he’s going to join? Is he got any guts?” “Yes, he’s all right. Just came off @ Hamburg-American liner. Took this run so he could see his people in Denmark.” “What about you, Fritz? You're getting rusty. How about lining up?” “For Christ’s sake, Slim, you know about that trouble I had in the Ger- man Navy. I mustn't get caught there.” “Yes, but this line don’t run to Germany.” “Deportation ships do! And if I'm blackballed here for radical activities, how long will I last on the beach before I’m grabbed?” Slim shook his head, surprised. Fritz never used to talk that way on the west coast. “What the hell's the use of your soaking up revolutionary literature all the time, Fritz, if you don’t act on it?” “Don't worry about me. agitating all the time.” Slim sprang up. “Agitation! Now where the workingclass is being cut to the bone, where the capitalist class is strangling in its own meshes, threatening to drag the workers down with it—now we need more than agitation! Action! That means organization! Organization in the red trade unions!” Fritz laughed: “Uncle Slim’s get- ting hot again!” “No kidding, Fritz! Get into line again. We've got to train others to take our place, when you or me get it in the neck.” Fritz stowed away his neckties with tender care, shut the locker, stretched, and looked at the clock: “Nearly 7 bells! Time to set the tables.” I keep | hag morning from 4 to 6, mid- ships had to be swobbed and washed down. The mate insisted on a spotless deck for the passengers when they stepped out of their cabins in the morning. This morning Lad took the first wheel, so it was Slim's turn again. First they swept the bridge and saloon decks, Eddie count- ing the cigar butts as they went along. “Only 14 today! The passengers must be running out of cigars!” Then suddenly “Fst! Hey, Slim!” He held up a powder puff. “Phew! It smells! I'l bet it belongs to that Consul’s daughter. He chattered on awhile, then held his hand on his belly: “I’m getting hungry. What do you say, Slim?” Oe ies, The kid tiptoed down into the saloon pantry while Slim stood look- ; THE MAN HIGHER UP.” FLASHES and CLOSE-UPS By LENS Charlie Chaplin is old and tired « « » Woman’s Home Companion is printing his autobiography beginning this week. ... Winfield Sheehan, who asks $750,000 as the price for the immediate cancellation of his con- tract with Fox, was once secretary to Police Commissioner Waldo of New York City... This gentleman before whose “organizing genius” Hollywood trembles, was implicated in the 1910-11 graft and murder scandals. . . . Following headlines; appeared in the New York Times for April 30,1914: “CALLS SHEEHAN “Alice Walker (the keeper of a house of prostitution) Testifies She Paid Graft to Supposed Agent of Waldo’s Secretary.” . Sheehan was saved by personal intervention of William Fox and his millions and from then on sky-rocketed into “higher up” fame in Hollywood. .. For further details refer to Sinclair’s “Upton Sin- clair Presents William Fox.” .. . Anyway, such is the stuff whereof great men are made. No, it isn’t correct, as stated in Comrade Lerner’s letter, that the ‘Daily’ is blindly uncritical of all So- viet productions. . . See Vern Smith’s review of “Man With the Camera,” S. B.’s piece on “Eagle of} the Caucusus,” and some others. . Nor is it altogether fair to say that Judith Knight’s letter is “the typical | attitude of a great mahy comrades and Daily Worker readers.” Comrade Platt informs me that Sol Lesser, the man responsible for turning LEisenstein’s revolutionary Mexican film into a dull Hollywood “western,” was a leading producer of flag-waving and draft films dur- ing the World War. M-G-M has extended the contract of that White Russian emigre direc- tor, Richard Boleslavsky, responsible for a row of pro-Czarist pictures like “Rasputin and the Empress,” etc. The Workers Film and Photo League is instituting the Harry Alan Potamkin Scholarship Fund to send one of its members to the Moscow State Institute of the Cinema for a short intensive study course... . This is to be a yearly award and will be accorded to the member of the League who has done most during the year to further the cause of the revolutionary movie. Will the wise boys who say all dic- tatorships are alike please explain why the Soviet kino is growing by leaps and bounds, both in quantity and artistic quality, while the Italian fascist film died a day after the march on Rome, and the much-in- flated German bourgeois film is now dying of pernicious anemia under Hitler’s heel. The Motion Picture Herald sorts that researchers find Hollywood films to be composed of: Love, 25 per cent; Crime, 27 per cent; and Sex, 15 per cent... . Leaving'a-mere 33 per cent to be accounted for. A strange oversight? Maybe not. ... Send in your guesses as nature of the mysteriously missing 33 per cent. ... And I think one single guess ought to do the trick. And what's that about Bela (“Dracula”) Lugosi’s reported sym- pathies for Communism? The great electrical trusts will soon plunge into the television game for which they hold the. important patents... . Hence all the noise about the wonders of the new inventions in the field of electrical scanning. The financial octopi of Wall Street are giving up hope of making talkies pay for themselves. .. . And if tele- vision turns out to be as unprofitable financially, the fact that it will prove a better channel than the film for capitalist propaganda ought to be out. Pretty soon he came out with See Satara “You've got our backs chackled but Y'll be damned before I let you shackle my lips!” something bulging under his shirt, and motioned for Slim to follow to quite a consolation. . . . The broad- casting of sound films over a nation- wide network of relays makes all other known methods of disseminat- ing war propaganda, for instance, seem like ineffectual whispers. . . . W. I. R. Carnival to Present World Fair Skit, Soviet Movie NEW YORK—A mid-summer car- nival, including on its program the World's Fair skit by the Workers’ Laboratory Theatre, a concert and revolutionary songs by the W. I. R. Band and the Musicians’ Concert League, a Soviet Movie, “41st,” and revolutionary dances, will be given Saturday for the benefit of the Workers’ International Relief. The carnival will take place Aug. 19 at 8 p.m. in the open-air arena of Golden City Park, Brooklyn. Tick- ets are on sale at the W. I. R., 870 Broadway. Music the messroom. Here he pulled out slices of cheese, cold chicken sand- wiches, caviar sandwiches, celery, olives—passengers’ night lunch, to sustain them while hard at work playing poker. “Dig in Slim. Oh, boy, the belly- robber would have a nightmare if he knew this——What do you say, we swipe some of the Professor's cocoa to wash this down with?” “No, We'll do our swiping from the Company, That’s more honest.” They finished eating and went back to work. It was getting day now. The sky was shot with sun-rea, and the water soft and warm like a feather-bed. They were feeling pretty good and the work went fast, As they were taking the hose up for'd, some- one cailed in a hardboiled voice: “Hey, cut out that whistling!” Stadium To Present Opera For First Time Monday The first outdoor opera to be pre- sented by Stadium Concerts will be “Madame Butterfly,” which will have its first showing at the Lewisohn Stadium next Monday night, with the usual Stadium prices of 25 cents to $1. Giuseppe Bamboschek, for- merly of the Metropolitan Opera House, who conducted the perform- ances of the Chicago Opera Company at the Hippodrome, will direct the Puccini opera. The Philharmonic- Symphony Orchestra will appear in opera for the first time. The cast includes Anne Roselle in the title role, Dimitri Onofrei as Pinkerton, Slim pretended not to hear, and kept right on. Then the order was repeated louder: “Hey, throw that, whistle over- board!” Slim looked up. The mate was leaning out the wheel-house window, ® snarl spread all over his snoot, “Where do you think you are, -at a red meeting?” “No, snapped Slim, “I know I 'm on a slave ship. You've got our backs shackled, but I'll be damned before I let you shackle my lips!” CONTINUED TOMORROW and Claudio Frigerio in the prin- cipal baritone role. Jose Iturbi, the Spanish pianist and conductor, who appeared last Sun- day at the Stadium as conductor and soloist, will conduct the last con- cert of the season on Wednesday night, August 23. His program will include Schubert’s ‘Unfinished’ Sym- phony, Mozart’s E-flat, piano con- certo, and Beethoven’s C-minor Sym- phony.

By BILL MORTON When tyrants want the roost to rule And keep the workers under, They play us all for bloomin’ fools And split our ranks asunder. They make the white slave hate the black, The black slave hate the white, And while each other we attack, THEY profit from our plight. If slaves forgot the lying rot That bosses have to say, They'd learn a lot and make it hot For parasites today. No longer then would working men Toil for another’s gain, Nor children eat the husks of wheat, While bosses steal the grain. This racial hate is really great For boss and millionaire. é They rule the map while workers scrap And fall into their snare. So black and white, let us unite ‘And be no longer strange.

STAGE AND SCREEN Big Holiday” ai the Acme 's Glib Defense of Horror and Heroism of War “Hell's Holiday” is the most recent of the American official world war documentary films produced and re- leased by an independent company, to prove that America’s sole inter- est in entering the war was purely to save civilization from the fangs of the Boches. “We have no selfish ends to serve,” says the foreword to the film, quoting from one of Wil- son’s speeches, “we seek no indem- nity for the losses we have sustained and no material compensation for the sacrifices of war. We are just cham- pions of mankind in its battle against the forces of darkness.” The entire film, which is inter- spersed with sound and glib speech in defense of the horrors and heroism of war, is in reality a long hosannah of praise for America’s glorious part in the grand slaughter. Every five minutes or so the narrator in langu- age as cultivated and as barren as a Congressman’s, takes time off to eulogize American generalship in the war. And every few feet, he stops at the bloody corpse of a fallen soldier and with deep glycerine tears in his polished voice, mourns the loss of so courageous a fighter, and adds so- lJemnly that he has not died in vain, poor fellow. While soldiers are being mowed down by the thousands by machine guns, liquid fire and bombing planes, there are flash-backs of Generals Pershing, Foch, Petain and others, safely, miles behind the lines, dis- cussing further murderous plans of attack that will mean more thou- sands of lives, One scene in parti- cular shows a contingent of Italian soldiers struggling furiously to haul a wagonload of supplies up a steep mountain-top, while officers are calm- ly standing nearby, fingering their mustaches and looking to see if there are any signs of rain. Queen Marie of Rumania with her sickening smiles and flowers is seen for a moment spreading futile sun- shine among the refugees, also the pseudo-poet D’Annunzio, appealing to Italian youth to shed blood in de- fense of Rome. Following is a typical utterance of this lick-spittle apologist of the 1914 slaughter: “The knowledge of man’s inhumanity towards man has in- creased tremendously with the ex- perience of the World War.” This is strange news for the masses, millions of whom were forced by their inhu- man masters, at the point of machine guns and poison gases, to slaughter one another in the interests of the Morgans, Mellons, French, German, Italian bankers and industrialists, etc. in the last war. They certainly did not go to war because they had any- thing against one another! Technically “Hell's Holiday” is bad- companiment is out of tune with the] battles depicted; and every time the American cavalry are seen in action, we hear strains of Wagner’s “Ride of the Valkyries,” signifying the rid of capitalism to “victory.” We have had enough of the Big Drive and Forgotten Men—form of movie. Here's hoping that “Hell's Holiday” is the last of its species! | —DAVID PLATT * Dreiser’s “Jennie Gerhardt” to Open at the Jefferson Theatre on Saturday Beginning Saturday the Jefferson| Theatre will present “Jennie Ger- hardt,” based on the novel by Theo- dore Dreiser, with Sylvia Sidney and Donald Cook in the leading roles. A second feature, “It’s Great To Be} Alive,” is on the same program. Start- ing Wednesday, the Jefferson will show “Midnight Mary” with Ricardo Cortez and Loretta Young and “Laughing At Life” with Victor Mc- Laglen and Lois Wilson. “Morning “Glory,” based on the Play by Zoe Akins, is the new screen feature at the Radio City Music Hall, Katherine Hepburn, Douglas Fair- banks, Jr., Adolph Menjou and Mary Duncan play the leading roles. The stage show is headed by Muriel Kerr, young Canadian pianist, who will play the E-flat Concerto, by Liszt. Other items on the stage include “Blue Delft,” a Dutch fantasy, with Jan Peece and Margaret Daum as soloists and Barr and Estes and Bet- ty Bannister as the principal dan- cers. MOVIE NOTE The Eagle and the Hawk The soul-searching question in this war-adventure movie is which is the Eagle and which is the Hawk! In the beginning of the film the Eagle, is the hero, although a much weaker character than the hawk, who is the villain. What is more—the hero ‘is merciful with his victims—mind you —the weakling, and the villain is merciless—war is war. Here the problem is stated. Presto—the situ- |’ ation changes. The Eagle, continu- ally weakening, finally begins to re- alize the futility of war and killing, and after delivering himself of a strong nacifist sneech against war to his superior officers, who take it as a sign of cowardice on his part,— commits suicide. ‘l Exit the hero—nobody can do that in war and get away with it. But the hawk strengthens, plays the game ever more fiercely and after doubly redeeming himself by his courage in saving the honor of the Eagle by covering up the dishonor of his suicide—exit the vallainous hawk and enter the new heroic Eagle. The problem is solved. Which is the ly put together, scenes are repeated over and over again, the musical ac- Eagle and which is the Hawk? Three guesses!
