THE STORY SO FAR: The S. S. and Leningrad. class struggle and what, they can do neer up with the M.W.LU. Prayda Means Truth y abi night an excursion was arranged to go aboard a Russian| ship which was lying nearby, loading | hides for Hamburg. pe The strange lettering on the ship | puzzled Shorty. The girl activist from the Club, who served as guide, ex- plained: ‘ i “That word spells Pravda, which means Truth® Shorty asked where the ship was built, “Here in Leningrad. This is one} of the older and smaller ships. Only | 3,500 tons, and a coal burner. Our new ships~2re all motor-driven, up to 10,000 tons.” On board, they tied up with a crew | off a German ship who were also | looking around. Barney» examined the electric elevated winches with an appreciative eye. “Look at that,” he called to Pitts. “They keep them painted and cleaned and covered with hoods—treat them like babies:* The visiting seamen were taken into the messroom. This had one long table With a white cover and up- holstered-seats all around. “Looks more like a parlor than a messroom,” muttered Shorty. i On the walls were photos of Lenin and Stalin; also a big map of the Soviet Union, showing where the dif- ferent industries were located. There were decorated lights in the room,} and electric’fans. Two stewardesses were just finishing cleaning up as) the men came in. bere! the girl guide went to get one of the ship's committee to show the men around, Slim and Eddie wert over to the far corner of the messroom, where a bookcase stood. All kinds of illustrated books and magazines were there, and from the different diagrams and technical charts, it was easy to see that the Rucsian seamen took a great inter- est in technical studies. A couple of benjes and balalaikas, and an accor- dion, hung over the bookcase, Mary came back with the second meve, who took the men around. As they went through thé corridors lead- ing to the crew's quarters, Shorty re- merked on the cleanliness, and asked how it wes kept so clean. “There are two stewardesses for the crew: They teke care of the crew's cabins, the crew's messroom, and the crow’s bathrooms.” “Ozow's bathrooms!” exclaimed Gunnar, incredible. Tne second mate showed them, ‘True enough: /bath-tubs, showers, In fact, a sailor was sitting in one of the tubs as they looked in, and he waved the bath-sponge cheerily at them. Thenthey examined the cab- ins, two seainen toa cabin, with white sheets, yes, even carpets on the deck, and over the bunks an elec- tric fan. For the man in the upper bunk there: was a little stepladder so he wouldn’t have to-jump up like a kangaroo or step on the other fel- low’s face getting down, as happens on capitalist ships. “Boy, that’s Pullman service!” called Stanley. Down below in the engine room the black gangs livened up. The second assistant had to admit “Clean as a whistle. Who says these fellows don’t know how to take care of ma- chinery?” Pitts asked how many hours a day they worked down below. “Six at sea?*-replied the Russian, “eight in port.” “Well, how many coal passers do you carry then?” queried the second assistant, “and what’s their pay?” “Nine coal passerson' here. They get 100 roubles a month, plus 38 roubles allowance for. food. In the North Sea,-or in the. tropics, the whole crew gets 10 per cent extra wages. Also, if the voyage is com- pleted in good time and the cargo delivered in_good conden the crew gets from 10 per cent to 25 per cent bonus.” Barney spoke up. “I’heard that you get working gear too, free.” “Yes, we get not only working clothes, but working shoes, oilskins, fur coat in cold climate, soap, towels, etc.” “How about Gunnar. “Deck gang gets two weeks, black gang four.weeks, with full pay. If we work on free days, that is added to our vacation time, At. sea also, lots of men prefer to work on their free days, which they get off all at ‘one time. In that way, many seamen ave from four. to six weeks vaca- ition, with full pay.” Stanley put a “personal” question. ‘Do the Russian seamen marry?” “Yes, I should say about '25 per cent of our, seamen are married?” “And can they bring their wives aboard?” » ‘The Russian laughed. “Of course! ‘Why shouldn’t they? Whenever thi are in home port their wives are rf board. And they are allowed to take their wives and children along for two free trips @ year," ‘This was a piece of surprising news to the men. “Yes,” assured Mary, the guide, “many Russian seamen spend their vacations on bodrd ship, together with their wives and children,” Stanley nudged Gunnar in the ribs bri Oa “Do you believe The assistant went over to ~|Mary: cee if he's in the Naval Reserves.” Mary explained to the second mate in Russian what the Naval Reserves were, and he answered, “No! It isn’t necessary to have Soviet officers take vacations?” asked crew is Slim,;-of the Marine Workers Industrial Union, has made the voyage across the Atlantic, stopping at Copenhagen, Helsingfors, Finland, Slim has been talking to his fellow-workers about the In Leningrad, the sailors of the Utah are getting the surprise of their lives, watching the new society in action. Yesterday you read how a Soviet sailor explained to the men of the Utah the meaning of the word “propaganda”, Now read on: INSTALLMENT 21 any such oaths. Such things are only uecessary where the working class is Utah, one of the members of whose about it, He signs the Chief Engi- split up into officers and men, and| where the capitalists want to bribe one part of the working class with titles and uniforms to use them| against the other part.” i * * \e ‘HE men all went back to the mess- | room. Some of the German crew were sitting there already, drinking tea and eating biscuits, which was now also served to the “Amerikanski” | seamen. One of the German seamen | asked to what extent the Russian/ seamen were organized. “One hundred per cent,” answered | the Russian. | Another German asked if the sec | ond mate was in the same union as| the coalpassers and sailors. “Yes, we have one union for all| marine workers. And each member | has as much to say as the next. On board there is the ship's committee | which governs working conditions, etc. As secretary of this committee, we might elect a mate, or a steward- ess, or a coalpasser—depending on the personal character.” The Germans took the excursion seriously, They also asked all pos- sible questions. One asked whether a seaman could be discharged. “The freedom to dismiss workers, such as exists in capitalist countries, | does not exist here. An employer here is permitted to fire workers. only in exceptional cases, such as if a worker commits a crime, or is abso- lutely unable to do the work, Eyen in the latter case, the worker must be given 12 days’ notice, or 12 days’ pay. Where an employer wants to cut down his working staff because through better machinery he doesn’t need so many hands, he has to pay the discharged workers three months’ advance wages.” Here Shorty broke in and demand- ed who the employers in the Soviet Union were if everybody worked for the government. “To begin with, there are still small private employers, such as peasants, | shop owners, people employing house kelp, ete. But most workers work for state trusts, or state farms, etc. We seamen, for instance, work mostly for Sovtorgflot, which is the state mer- chant marine. Our union makes a contract with Sovtorgflot as to wages, working agreements, number of jobs, etc, and the same applies to the unions of other industries.” : “Further,” continued the Russian, “members of factory or ship commit- tees cannot be fired at all unless the trade union agrees to it. Nor can single or pregnant women be fired, or office help, or ex-service men, ex- cept in rare cases.” “Geez, everybody here must have jobs then,” deduced Eddie. Pps a second mate laughed. they have, and our biggest wish is that we had a couple of million| more workers to take the unfilled jobs. We now have over 18,000,000 | workers as compared with 11,000,000) three years ago. In your United| States, for instance, there are today | forty per cent less men at work than there were three years ago. All our workers get social benefits. When they are sick, old, or otherwise incapaci- tated they and their families are sup- ported to the end of their lives. That means not only food and clothing, but opportunities for education, good housing, etc.” What Stanley couldn’t see was that with the Meet population of the So- viet Union, they should be so short) of labor. “The fact is that compared with) other European countries the Soviet Union is underpopulated,” answered the Russian. He pointed to. the map. “Yes, | “Look how big the Soviet Union is: | > one-sixth of the globe—far bigger than the rest of Europe. Yet we have only 160 million people! And a very small percentage are as yet highly qualified industrial workers!” The mate's face broke into smiles.’ Gunnar had been closely watching him the whole time, Gunnar consid- ered the Club delegate as a smooth talker—a professional propagandist— but this seaman, whose face was lined with years of hard work appealed to him: There were hardly any more ques- tions and as it was too dark to con- tinue the inspection of the lifeboats, etc., the men took their leave. On the way back to the Utah, Gunnar re- marked to the fellows: “What that Tovarisch was telling us was the Pravda, all right.” (CONTINUED TOMORROW) WHAT?’S ON-- Wednesday PRENCH WORKERS CLUB, Lecture in Bnglish on 2 i. sofy Case by Griffir, LL.D. at 49 oo.

By STEWART CARHART The “New Pioneer” has always enjoyed the reputation of fulfilling its purpose better than any other magazine in the working class move- ment, and this issue is nO exception. From the blue-winged cop in the strained posture of the “blue buz- zard” on the front cover, to the comic strip by Steve Prohaska on the back, it is full of material in- teresting to both Pioneers and older workers in the movement who haven’t been forced by the crisis and the search for a living to for- get that they once were kids. The first story, “Smoked Out,” by A. Pickett, describes the actions of a young son of a striking miner who prevents a scab from entering the mines. The topic of the story is appropriate and brings out ‘the problems for workers created by the N.R.A. in a form interesting to workers’ kids. But the story is rath- er thin and smacks a little too much of the goody-g0ody comic-opera he- roies of the Boy Scout magazines. Horatio Alger Reversed This is even more true of the story “Teacher’s Pet.” Eyelyn, the snobbish daughter of an “aristocrat of labor,” is won to the struggles of the Pioneers too abruptly after her father loses his job. This story fits a splendid formula—Horatio Alger reversed or from aristocrat to worker, In general it can be observed that in the “New Pioneer” the stories that are accounts of actual happen- ings are much better than those made out of “whole cloth.” ‘Two Good Stories Especially good this issue is “A Night’s work,” an account of the work of some Y.C.L.ers who painted the Fisher Body plant with slogans and helped win workers to the move- ment in a street meeting in front of the plant. Hu Hsi-Li has contributed an- other equally good, “The Story of Ting Ling,” the Chinese revolution- ary woman worker, recently mur- dered. Especially interesting, too, are the cartoons by Limbach, satirizing the blue buzzard. The best is a drawing of the bird (or is it beast?) with a stick of baloney in one claw and a knife in the other, busily engaged in the old practice of “slicing it thin.” But this has to be seen to be ap- preciated, Perhaps the most valuable article in this number is the description of the Workers’ World Fair, organ- ized by the Workers Laboratory Theater. Ben Blake, who wrote this account has given interesting sug- gestions for a satirical skit on the “Century of Progress” which may be put on by Pioneers. The regular features of the “New Pioneer” are always worth reading everyone. Especial mention should be made of “Science and Na- ture for Johnny Rebel,” conducted Bert Grant. Science is here pop- ularized and the functions of sci- ence under the present system is shown in a manner that will do much to off-set the ballyhoo of writ- ers like Slosson and Gernsback, FROM PEASANT TO COLLEC-| TIVE FARMERS, by N. Buchwald | and R. Bishop. International Pub- | lishers. 25 cents. z | Reviewed by BEN FIELD | The recent lies of the capitalist | | press about the situation on the | Russian farms are more violent and | ridiculous than ever. Since the be- | ginning of the Bolshevik Revolution, | | whenever the Russian workers and | farmers have scored one of their re- markable goals, the capitalists have | | tried to keep the truth hidden with smoke and noise. Just a few weeks |ago the press was beating a funeral | |drum—amillions of Russian farmers | died from hunger during a horrible | winter. But the news that Russian farms are reaping a bumper crop burst through. And now the liars have turned the drum the other} way. Where, only a short time ago | Russian peasants were dying from | hunger, now they are dying from) evereating! “From Peasant to Collective Farm- jer” is a timely pamphlet because | it rams the lies down the belching | throats of the liars. The authors} (Buchwald was correspondent for the Daily Worker) visited farms in different sections of Soviet Russia. They visited the First Congress of Collective Farm Shock-Brigade| Workers. They discuss the treat-| ment of national minorities in Rus-| sia and how national minorities. | Negroes and Jews, etc., are treated in Africa, the United States and other capitalist strongholds, Their comment riddles with a great fire the status of farmers Outside of the Soviet Union. Their story is up-to-| date, discussing Roosevelt's fake farm relief, and in this respect is superior to most pamphlets which describe the socialization of Russian industry and farming. Guests of the Nation The First Congress of Collective Farmers was indeed a most remark- able gathering. Contrast it with the National Conference of American Farmers in Washington in Decem- ber, 1932. Opera House was flung open to these 1,500 champion farmers. They were the guests of the nation from the moment they left their fields to the time they returned. The poor Americans had to dig hard to get together money to pay | their way in trucks for thousands of | miles, The government did all it pos- |sibly could to keep the farmers at home. In Washington it refused them the use Of a public building. The farmers had to meet in a small) hall. inegsne American capitalists opening Carnegie Hall with its dia- | mond horsehoe to workers and farm- ers in grimy overalls and boots. The overnment-owned ne refused at irst to allow Negro sharecroppers to sleep in cabins.

American Farmers Learning Fast | American farmers are learning.| fast. The use of militia and police} and deputies against them shows| the farmer who his enemies are, Not | only tear gas, bullets, but also air-| planes, as in the Wisconsin strike, | are being used against him. But in Russia the army is the broth- er of the farmer. There are three regiments around Stalin- grad sponsOring three collective farms, sending them banners. On| the expiration of his term, the Red} soldier often goes back to the village | and the farm. He swings immediate- | ly into the work. There are thou- sands of stories like the one about. the soldier of the 31st Caucasus} Regiment who helped pull a back- ward farm to fulfill its sowing pro- gram by 137 per cent and its live stock program by 100 per cent. The Red Army sends newspapers and books to the farms, it establishes veterinary colleges. Organizations | of soldiers’ and commanders’ wives set up nurseries, kindergartens, and | classes for farm women. A letter from the Stalingrad Cavalry Bri- gade to the farm congress shows the intense feeling of comradeship be- tween army and farmer: for a socialist harvest is to raise the quality of the horse they use. The| horse is a living machine’ which | must be tended with care.

Farmer-Worker Relationship ~ | More important than this is the relationship between worker and} its damnedest to sow the seeds of | hate between worker and farmer. | Proof of this is the processing tax. on wheat which, in order to “help” the farmer, has boosted the cost of bread to the worker as nigh as 20 er cent in many localities.

Less worthy artists might have wrecked the three stories com- pletely. But in the hands of the Moscow Art Theatre, this produ tian of “Anna Round His Neck, “Chameleon,’ and “Death of a Gov-| ernment Clerk’ takes on a breadth) and a depth that not only impress | but convince of the essential truth of the portrayal. Here are lives re- vealed in flashing grimaces or ges- tures. Here is the consummate art of the screen, a glimpse of which was brought to the American public by| Emil Jannings, again displayed in its compelling, concentrated force. Such a picture as this wakes us suddenly to the realization of how miserably banal is most of what we see. In “Anna Round His Neck,” Anna, daughter of a poverty-stricken gov- ernment clerk, rises through marriage to a rich man to a position among the higher classes, only to drown in their muck. The story here, as in the other two tales, is unimportant on the screen—the characterizations are vital. The magic of Chekhov's words has been transmuted into a newer magic — words cannot possibly ap- proach the subtlety and craft of a fine actor's expression. | “Chameleon,” a gentle, mocking satire of relative justice, portrays Jaughingly the difference it makes when the dog that bites you is the/ general's dog. “Death of a Government Clerk,” the concluding story, is a moving por- trayal by Ivan Moskvin of the crushed and ground spirit of a government clerk who has the misfortune, while eating an apple at the theatre, of sneezing onto the back of a general's neck and spraying him with the juice of the fruit. The agonies the clerk endures, the unbearable torments that this insult to authority, this rev- olutionary sneezing-on-the-neck-of- a-general, causes him, finally ends in his complete collapse. A whole life— no, thousands of lives, are revealed in this short and bitter story. The pic- ture is worth seeing for this alone. We heartily recommend it. The musical accompaniment, . ar-| ranged by J. Zelony, is in keeping with the spirit of the picture. | FRANCIS ANTICO. FROM A WORKER I will try all I can to spread the “Daily” myself.

Simple for the workers and farmers of the rest of the world but so hard for the capitalists that they will break their heads over it. Reading this story puts a living hammer into the hands of every worker, and a living pitchfork into the hands of every farmer. “When we have set the U.S.S.R. on an automobile and the peasant on a tractor, let the capitalist gentle- men who boast so loudly of their civilization try to overtake us,” Stalin once said. This is the chal- lenge of the farmers and workers in Russia found in this pamphlet. It is a challenge capitalism can never take up. It is a challenge American workers and farmers un- |der the leadership of Communism jean and will take up.
