STORY SO FAR: Slim, a member of the Marine Workers In- jal Union, aboard the 8, 8. Utah, starts a discussion with the other ‘s about the defense of the Soviet Union, quoting the Daily Worker a He is bawled out by the captain and his revolutionary literature is stolen from his bunk. But interest among the sailers in what he tells them about the workers and the bosses continues to grow. Now read on: INSTALLMENT SIX F of Shetland Ferth they ran in- a gale.

It blew into the night; the men closed he port-hales and lazied around their bunks. It was hard to hold the ship to her course in these strong The constant turning of the teering engine, the violent rever- ations of the ship as she swooped fell, the strong spanking of the storm, could all be heard in the fo’- castle, Lag sat with his legs swung out of iting a letter home, The in his bunk on the flat is back, stretched out like the pope, and counting the number nd eves in the spring over i k figured out on box how much ning.

Sud- he shook his head and called: ten to this men!” Then “Preyide for short enlistments not exceeding one year in the U.S. Navy, to all men who can show three years’ service in the Amer- * jean merchant marine, During that enlistment, give them thorough and intensive training in boating and in the duties of man-of-war’s men. “furnish a man so trained with a first-class discharge from the Navy, if his conduct and skill are such as to entitle him thereto, and give him the first chance of ship- ment in any port where an Amer- ican ship is, and is needing men. This will furnish skill of the high- est type for the merchant ma- rine, and a really reliable reserve for the Navy at no extra cost to the government, and an ultimate saving to the merchant marine.” Stanley looked up and leaned out of his bunk. “How about it, Pro- fessor? You're smart. Who made this statement?” “Well,” answered the Professor like a professor, “I'd say, judging from the tone and general contents, it was the Secretary of the Navy.” “Wrong,” crowed Stanley, would you say, Gunnar?” “That sounds to me like they’re looking for cheap castrated labor. That's probably some fat slob from the Steamship Owners Association.” “Wrong again,” laughed Stanley. “Who would you say, Lag?” Lag looked up. “What? Oh, don’t bother me with that stuff.” ue “who TREMENDOUS crash of water A landed on the poopdeck and sent |a shiver through the vessel. The men | listened warily momeni, Stanley resurned to the charge: “AN right, Slim, do you know?” “Td say both the Professor and Gunner was right. The man who wrote that was acting in the interest of both the Navy and the ship own- ets.” ’ Stenley considered. “This here is a bill which was pro- nosed to the Shivping Board by Andy useth, President of. the Interna- oi Sezmen’s Union!” What!” Gunnar sprang up. “Let that! Say, Lag, you see here 4 the head of your union wants to, do with us?” lag was annoyed. “Don’t bother nf, will you? I never saw him in my 1i§ and don’t care if I never do!” “Yes, but you're paying part of your wages to him, and he's doing you out of your job!” “If you want to know,—I got my job here just by taking out a book in the ISU!” 'UNNAR didn’t know one hand they sell the foreign-born seamen a job, with the other they sell these same seamen out to the shipowners with bills like these, to throw the class-conscious workers out and replace them with poison- soaked patriots.” But Lag wasn’t listening. “Say, Slim,” called the Professor, | “were you born in the States?” “Yes, why?” “T can’t figure out why you're al- ways knocking the Americans.” “When did you hear me do that?” “You're doing it all the time.” Gunnar made a noise reminiscent of a horse breaking wind. “Spit out what’s on your chest, Professor,” urged Slim. “Well, to be frank about it, I don’t see why Americans shouldn't be giv- en the preference co: American ships.” “Why didn’t the ship-owners give Americans preference years ago, in the first place?” Gunnar interrupted: “Because there were hardly any American sea- men. We had to teach them how to become sailors.” “Is that correct?” Slim asked the Professor. “Maybe so. But that’s got nothing to do with it now.” “Very good,” answered Slim. “Now you don’t need the foreign- born, after they helped you build up your merchant marine. You kick them ‘out now. But what shall they do for a living?” “Go back to their own country. | The government will provide their passage.” “Yes, generous Uncle Sam. But there are no jobs for them now in the old country either.” . * Professor shrugged his shoul- ders. “That's their funeral, hey?” called Slim. “That’s what Wall Street says, too. But. you, Mr. American Worker; what do you gain, when the foreign- korn workers are kicked out?” “A job, of course.” ‘ “A job of course? How about the 50,000 or 60,000 American-born sea~ | men on the beach today?” “Well, some of them gain jobs. That’s simple logic: where you kick one man out, you've got to put an- other in his place.” “That may be logic all right, for simple college boys, but it don’t hap- pen to jibe with the facts. Do they The Professor hove out of his bunk, yellow at the gills. teach you in Princeton anything about rationalization?” The Professor shook his head. “Never heard the word.” “I guess not. College football teams haven't been rationalized; the bour- geosie don’t want to spoil their fun, but they don’t mind rationalizing the factories and ships.” The Professor was honestly puz- ey “What the hell are you driving ate” “Just this: that while American ships carried 86 per cent more cargo in ten years, from 1916 to 1926, they only hired 18 per cent more men. Or put it another way, while the gross tonnage was almost doubled, there were 20 jobs less for every 3,000 gross tons. That was 1926, and today where half the ships are lying idle or run- ning with half empty holds, they're iationalizing still further.” . se spoke up. “Say, Slim, what does rationalization mean again?” “It means, in the language of ef- ficiency experts, ‘increasing produc- tion efficiency.” In our language it means speed-up, wage-cuts, longer hours, undermanning, replacing skilled seamen with workaways and kids. Then there’s another kind of Tatiopalizing: changing over from coal burners to oil and to motor- ships, which requires less men.

Picture Snatcher A reformed gangster becomes a newspaper reporter for a tabloid and uses hold-up tactics in getting com- promising pictures for his boss. gim- mie Cagney takes the part of: the Slippery picture snatcher who snaps the first photo ever taken of a prison execution by tieing a vest- pocket camera around his ankle. For this good ‘work he wins (1) a doubtful raise in pay from his paper, (2) the enmity of all the righteous newspapermen who believe solemnly in observing the unwritten laws against picture snatching in the death house, (3) the good looking brunette daughter of the police chief, who, believe it or not, happens to be the same copper who sent him up |the river for a stretch to make a man out of him. Well, just another instance of cops working hand-in- |hand with gangsters, The Big Cage Clyde Beatty, the honest-to-good- ness one and only lion tamer in the movies, is the whole show in this animal-training picture! What he can’t maka lions do almost takes your breath away! First he makes them run up a ladder, then he makes them run down a ladder, then he makes them run up a ladder, and then down a ladder, and so on until the circus is over. Nothing like it has ever been seen in the movies. In the words of Jimmie Schnozzle Durante, “its astoundin’.” However as a tamer of lions, Beat- ty, although he looks like something the lion has just chewed up, has it all over powerful-breasted Tarzans like Buster Crabbe and Johnnie Weis- muller who would both outrun their primitive ancestry if they ever, came in contact with a real animal!

The Professor had shut his eyes, as though saying his prayers. Slim laughed. “Yes, Professor, rationalization means something different to us from the definition in the diction- ary.—And about those jobs we take from the ‘ignorant foreigners.’ Do you notice something peculiar about them?” For once, the college boy didn’t epen his mouth. He kept his eyes closed and gripped the sides of the bunk with his hands. Gunnar and Slim exchanged. winks. “These jobs, Mr. Patriot, are car- rying less wages.

In a valuable and detailed report, R. Shaw, organizer of the recent nut- Pickers’ strike in St. Louis, in which nearly 3,000 Negro women workers participated im -unexampled mili- tancy, explains how the strike was prepared, organized and , executed. Many important lessons in strategy and. tactics for our revolutionary union can be gathered from this ar- ticle, Article By Benjamin Herbert Benjamin, leader of the great Hunger Marches of 1931 and 1932, contributes an important dis- cussion on the difference in policy. towards the unemployed workers of the American Federation of Labor and militant trade unions and points out how the revolutionary unions must fulfill their obligation to or- ganize and lead the jobless workers. Robert W. Dunn, in an interesting article on the National Recovery Act, tells how the cards are stacked against the workers in tha “New Deal.” Magazine Needs Funds As the Trade Union Unity League's official organ, Labor Unity, now more than ever, must serve as the instrument for bringing clarity to the workers out of the confusion cre- ated by the Roosevelt demagogy, and the class struggle program of the revolutionary trade unions.

Boycott Stopped Caricatures The craftsmen of Hollywood need Some scapegoat to draw upon when all else fails. Ther was a time when| Mexicans, Japanese, Chinese ant| others, were the victims of this form of “easy” writing. Mexicans were villians, Japanese were spies and Chinese with long pig-tails were kicked around by cowboys, But dur- ing the final epoch of imperialist | expansion, Hollywood gained a stranglehold on the world’s film| trade, and respective governments | threatened American films with boy- cotts if these libels of their people continued. Thi method succeeded, for today the Negro alone, denied the right of government protection, remains the “goat.” Once in “Arrowsmith,” a Negro was presented intelligently and sym- pathetically. When the picture was first screened here, mutterings were heard in the film colony from the luxurious Jack-Asses, Why, they argued, show a Negro out of his| “element.” More to their liking was | King Vidor’s depiction of Southern Negro in the picture “Hallelujah.” Here he was in his proper “element,” | they said, shown chained to the| tradition of camp-meetings and en- slaved by abnormal sex desires. To consider that the Negro is capable of recognizing the forces that keep him submerged, or of particularly ex- pressing himself, would be showing | him out of his “element” and there. | fore unsuitable for Hollywood pro- | duction.

ZABLODOWSKY (Editor, “The Struggle Against War’) | Almost simultaneously with the | nation-wide call for a United St: Congress Against War, to be held in New York on September 2, 3 and 4, appears a book whose very title, as well as its contents, seems made to] order for that event. “The First | World War” is a timely warning to| Editor of “The First World War, | those who look on with indifference | the book | while the imperialist governments of | jthe world feverishly prepare for a second and bigger and better one. In 500 photographs, arranged chro- nologically, the compilers of this book } try to give the dramatic hi of the conflict. At first glance it would seem that they have managed to illustrate every phase of the war: slaughter, famine, and destruction; guns, planes, and gas; Sarajevo and the Unknown Soldier; propagani and revolution. And within these | limits the editors have done a fine | jo But even a child’s history of any War, Says more about causes and ef- fects than does this volume. Two pages at the beginning are devoted | to background. The space taken up| by the pictures of the Treaty of Vi- enna in 1815 and the Treaty of Ver- sailles in 1870 might have been given | over to maps of Africa China, and the Balkans with their “spheres of influence” where the imperialist struggle was sharpest. These could have been nicely balanced at the end with new maps. There might have been some hint of the strikes in Rus- sian factories before the Revolution, or of the European crisis of 1913 in general. But then we might have seen that the war was no gift of God, but rather of imperialist capi- talism seeking a way out of its con- tradictions. The publishers in their foreword claim to be “impartial,” having “no desire either to glorify or to attack.” This, therefore, is no “horror” book, such as was “The Horror of It,” a small book of photographs that packed a terrific punch in its mount- ing series of terrible scenes. By the same token the publishers are not responsible if the book does contain plenty of horror (cleverly distribut- ed); that’s the nature of war. The dramatic and often ironic little cap- tions by the editor do however, be- tray a point of view (the rotting mass of @ corpse that is labeled “This was | a Man”). tage—you don’t know what’s impor- tant and what is yot. Though it would be hard to sa? which of the Pictures should have been sacrificed, one immediately knows which should not have been. Where, for instance, js there a reference to the mutiny | in the French trenches, to the! French naval revolt led by Andre Marty, to the English blockade of Germany after the Armistice, to Ke- tensky’s violent efforts to keep Rus- | sia in the war?

As I have said, the weaknesses of are in the beginning and the end. Among the beginnings should be added the events leading up to America’s participation in the war. The sinking of the Lusitania is not enough. The headline on page 176, “Steel Common Soars In Million« Share Day,” belongs not only after the declaration of war by the United States, but also to a period consid- erably bef when the munitions makers were advancing huge credits to the Allies, fat loans which they could be sure of collecting only by joining in the war, The editor and the publishers con- veniently forgot the Civilian Conser- vation Camps, with the boys being mobilized for war training, They forgot the millions of dollars being spent by the government today for war preparations, while millions of workers live in destitution and star« vation, Here there should have been, if the editor had been less liberal and pacifist in his approach, two paral- lel columns showing the membership of the old War Industries Board and the present N.R.A., and the fact that they are practically the same. The crisis headlines given in the book are not so important as symbolizing the last battle of the First World War, but as the opening curtain on the Second. \I. L. D.
