4 } SS. UTAH - MICHAEL PELL Illystrations by Philip Wolfe THE STORY SO FAR: The crew of the S.S. Utah, after the boat has stopped at Copenhagen, Helsingfors, and Leningrad, U.S.S.R., re- turn to their boat, deeply impressed by what they have seen in the Soviet port, as contrasted with the ports in the other countries. So, when they are awakened af 4;30 one morning and have to wait around for an hour before beginning work; on Sunday, their day off, they refuse. a member of the Marine Workers and when they are ordered to work In this move their leader is Slim, Industrial Union, You read how the seamen, after organizing for the strike, held their ranks solid- ly and stood for their demands before the threats of the Captain. You also read how they won their demands and how Piits had, unknown to Slim and the others, joiried..up At a mecting of the ship's ‘group, with the M. W. I. U. at Leningrad. Slim and Pitts, a strike is planned. Meanwhile, two days before the ship is due in Copenhagen, Pitts writes and spreads among the seamen ‘a resolution to defend the Soviet Union in case of attack.

Since the Utah wasn’t goitip in now, she lay at archor until a tug came to take the'sick man off. The Old Man had to go along to sign him off and get a new steward. This would hold up the ship a few hours, and the Old Man was sore. But when the tug with ‘the new steward returned,—who came-along | but Bobby! The crew greeted him with loud hellos. That-- might, everybody came into the messroom to hear about Bobby’s adventure. They all had questions to ask-about | their acquaintances in Copenhagen. Barney wanted to know if Bob had seen his Annie in Tivoli. Gunnar asked about Molly and- Eskimo about his soloist in Cape Horn. Even the cadet inquired about his seducer. UT remarkably could give no information about these women and places. “I didn’t get around much in Copenhagen,” he remarked, while his twinkled. “Tn the can the whole time,-hey?” laughed Lag.

But not all Reds; two- thirds wefe not red. But they were all real workers: husky longshoremen from France and Sweden; fisher- men from Portugal and Greece; sea- men from England and Germany. ‘Then crews came from ships in port: Hindus, Russians, and delegations and telegrams from China, Japan, Africa, Cuba, Australia, Uruguay,— from all ends of the earth.” Blackey looked at Bob reproach- fully, and shook his head. “So you've gone over to the Reds, too... ?” Pitts and Slim exchanged glances. Bobby and Stanley got into an ar- gument, Bobby getting excited in his old way. He ran into his fo’casle and came back with a paper. “No, Stan- ley, the thing isn’t as easy as that. We've not only got to fight the ship- owners, but the reformist trade union leaders, ¢specially the I.T.F. and her national sections. They are mosily to blame for conditions being what they are. Take the strike of the Thames boatmen. All the longshoremen of London and Liverpool were willing to strike with them and did, but what did Bevin, head of the longshore- men’s union, do? Said the strike didn’t concern them, and made his men go to work!” Eskimo, Lag and a couple of others weren’t interested in this stuff and went to their bunks. Stanley and the others remained. “Know what this same louse Be- vin said at a meeting of the League of Nations recently? ‘As long as the ‘metal workers make munitions, and the shipworkers build ships, the long- shoremen could load munitions’! That was his excuse for not stop- ping war through means of strike.” This got Pitts excited and he told Bobby about the resolution he had gotten up. Bobby seemed to have learned a lot during these couple of weeks. He gave another example: “What do you think of Spence, head of the English seamen’s union, the N.U.S.? He has reached the point where he considers a strike bolshevik treason and a crime, and he brags in the “green Spew” about the fact that he broke the big strikes in 1925 and 1926 by providing blacklegs! And take the right Honorable Mister ‘Thomas, Colonial Minister to His Majesty, and Honorable Member of the LT.F.! That dog shoots colonial seamen and people down at the least sign of rebellion, and is an Honorable Member of the I.T.F., which is sup- posed to be a ‘labor’ organization!” It would be hard to describe Slim’s feelings at this change in Bobby. Was that the same Bobby who hated the Reds so, who had hated the Ne- groes so? It became late. Most of the men went to their bunks. Pitts, Bob- by and Slim remained in the mess- room. ..., the ship’s group.

One of the pioneers of flying in Russia, he performed what was then considered a daring feat in flying across the Klyazma, @ narrow river near Moscow, remain- ing three minutes in the air. That was in August, 1908. From that time to this, Boris Ilyodorovich Rossinski has borne the title of the “grand- father of Russian aviation.” Tall, strapping and good natured, “Grandfather” a few days ago set off from the Moscow airdrome for Khar- kov, accompanied by M. M. Gromov, the best pilot in the U.'S.S.R. From Kharkov he flew back to the Mos- cow airdrome, with Gromov as pas- senger, reaching it just before the opening of the parade on Aug. 18. That Day Rossinski celebrated th: | 25th anniversary of his work as an eviator. Rossinski’s interest for us lies not merely in the fact that he is the first and the oldest Soviet airman and that he was the first airplane constructor. Rossinski is the living embodiment of the history of aviation in old Russia and of the fighting path of the revolutionary airman. As a child, he took an interest in physics, and made a model of an airplane. His one dream was to fly. Later he met Professor Zhukovski, the first Russian scientist to make a study of aviation. Sent Abroad Professor Zhukovski sent the young Rossinski abroad, where he studied in a French Technological Institute and worked in the Bleriot Plant. Rossinski was so eager to fly that he flew a distance of 10 km. without permission. The school management took exception to this and Rossinski returned to Moscow. In 1910, he built a hangar and ee regular flights over Khodinskoe ole. the Khodinsk Airdrome. Rossinski was not allowed to fly beyond the bounds ofthe airdrome. In 1912, however, Rossinski broke the bounds with the daring object of flying around Moscow. He landed on the present sight of Hlectro- zavod. The flight created a sensa- tion. In an interview with a cor- respondent of the “Trudovaya Ko- peik,” Rossinski said: “T think that it is about time we airmen stopped flying over airdromes. Aviation should be adapted to the needs of everyday life. Flights over the city and other centers of popu- lation should be quite common oc- currences. Yesterday there was a veritable pilgrimage to my plane. It was all very touching.” Rossinski was fined because of this flight and threatened with the loss of the right to fly. He left Moscow for a tour of the provinces to propo- gate. aviation. With Soviets from the First. Rossinski sided with the Soviets from the very first days of the Octo- ber Revolution. He was appointed chairman of the Revolutionary Mili- tary Council of Red Aviation, in which capacity he fought energeti- cally for the building of a Red air fleet. He invented a special fuel mixture in the days when the Soviet Union was without gasoline. Flights on this fuel were successful, helping rout the white guards and the armies of intervention. Rossinski has tried out more than a thousand new planes. He has flown in many foreign machines and in planes constructed in the Soviet “Grandfather”---The First and Oldest Soviet Airman By N. IZGOER Such was the beginning of), | | | Union, planes with Soviet-made mo- tors and Soviet-made bodies. In 1923, when the Soviet aviation | industry was born, Rossinski was wearing the Order of the Red Ban- ner of Labor. He was the first Hon- ored Pilot of the Soviet Union. The government has placed an air- plane at his personal disposal. This | machine is often to be seen flying| over Moscow, Kharkov and the rural districts of the Soviet Union. Ros- sinski is an active member of several air clubs. (From “Izvestia,” central organ of the Soviet Government) ne Stage and Screen Amkino to Present Soviet Film, “The Patriots,” at Acme Tomorrow “The Patriots,” newest of Soviet talkies to reach America, will have its initial Amkino premiere tomor- row, at the Acme Theatre. Produced in the U. R. by Mejhrabpomfilm, “The Patriots” gives an intimate por- trait of life in a small town gripped by war fever, and the story of a lonely girl who loved an enemy war prisoner. It is the story of a border town in Czarist Russia just as war was declared and when the war mongers whipped up “patriotic” pas- sion among the townspeople. Ruth Miller Who will sing Mimi in the Chi- cago Opera production of “La Bo- heme,” at the Hippodrome this evening. In this atmosphere, and with this idea, the director, B. Barnett, one of the brilliant young Soviet direc- tors, has created a living document of war fever and the tragedies in its wake. A beautiful love story—the love of a young girl for a German war prisoner—runs through the story and brings the workers to a common understanding—that all workers have the same common enemy, and that the “enemy” is not your fellow work- er. ‘The cast is headed by Elena Kuz- mina, talented Soviet artist, who was seen here in “Alone” and in “New Babylon,” also Hans Klering, Kova- Tov, Chistiakov and Bogoliuboy.

No matter how you look at it E Carroll's “Murder at the Vanities not an important show. The daily reviewers found it dull, the audience appetites it is intended to will not enjoy it, and before | long everyone will have forgotten its run at the New Amsterdam Theatre. Shows like this are produced all the time. By hook or crook, a sum of money of no less than $50,000 is collected from various sources—the } movies, dizzied bankers, prosaic su- gar-daddies, eccentric racketee: and the results of their corporate | business acumen, taste and hopes| make up the greater part of the theatre of Broadway. In this in- stance, Mr. Carroll, who has pro-| duced huge successes»to the tune of | staggering deficits guessed wrong and his losses will be heavier than usual. But just as the characteristics | of health may be deducted from the | symptoms of a sick person, so “Mur- | der the Vanities, by its crude sim- pleness reveals the anatomy of show- business in all its phases.

The suspicion that the more seductive the girls the less exciting the mystery might become seems not to’ have dis- turbed the producer's faith in his idea. So the -odd combinations multiply. There are references in the dia- logue to Roseland—advertisement for the benefit of ‘the gallery—to the Essex House—advertisement for the benefit of those who buy their tickets at a premium—to. the taste that makes Chesterffelds better—adver- | tisement for the whole house which | is further reminded Of this fortunate | cigarette by a full“page on the pro- gram cover.

These actors—some of them talented —are working hard and getting little either in terms of money or human recompense, because in the iast analysis they do not know the thea- tre—the world to’ which it belongs. its inner mechanism, its economie foundations, what part they play in it, how it can be changed and how they can help change it. In fact, they are not part of the theatre at all, for a theatre, as a Soviet theatre director recently de- fined it, is an “ideologically cemented collective,” and the Broadway theatre is at nothing more than a bazaar, a haphazard assortment of wares thrown together to be auc- tioned to idlers on the market place. These actors are all victims of a more bloody murder than Mr. Carroll, with his spectacular imagination can show at $3.30 a seat.

He was a leader in the trade unions and prominent in the Socialist | Party. Prior to his election he had been | polling large votes on the Socialist | ticket, so, in 1916, the party leaders | jin Minnesota decided to do every- thing possible to get him elected. All the funds in the state party’s treasury were allotted for his campaign. The |party leaders hushed complaints when placards stuck up all over town car- ried very often only his handsome | face, and on the bottom, “Thomas | Van Lear for Mayor,” or “Vote for | tre ~ en of Labor, Thomas Van Lear, | for Mayor.” “Just let's get Tom elected,” the} leaders said. “We don’t nave to put | the word Socialist on the cards. Tom | will act like a Socialist when he gets | esc ed. He'll show those capitalists. | Money? Tom will give us more than | 10 per cent of his salary when he's | elected. Just wait and see!” So we all whooped it up for Tom. For Tom was a likeable fellow. He had a voice clear as a bell. Well | built, smooth-shaven, well dressed, he | locked like a statesman on the plat- | form. | Blissfully an audience of 10,000} | drank in the clarity of his voice at the final election rally. Tom was) right. Labor suffered at the hands | of capitalism. Hurrah for Thomas | Van Lear! Tom for Mayor! Tom} | will emancipate us! So the audience cheered, while the Yipsels, girls in white dresses with red sashes, sang, | “The Workers Flag Is Deepest Red.” | We held a celebration in the state | headquarters of the party when Tom was elected. He was not present. Poor Tom, he was too tired from his election campaign to come to our celebration, | Three months passed by. Tom did | not send the ten per cent of his salary | as he had promised on accepting the | party's nomination. He did not come | to any party meetings. He did not answer a letter asking him to pay his dues. A delegation was sent to him. His secretary, a reddish, well- | fed fellow, a labor politician, was very polite. He would bring the mat- ter of the ten per cent to Mayor Van} Lear’s attention. The Mayor would do the right thing. The Mayor was a fine fellow. | The Party was in debt after the campaign. Collectors clamored to have their bills paid. Another dele- gation was sent to Tom, Again his secretary met it, just as Mayor, O’Brien’s secretary meets delegations of unemployed today “Whom do you wish to see?” he asked pleasantly. “Is Tom in?” asked an old grizzled workingman who had given his life to party work. | “You mean Mayor Van Lear?
