Page Six UNIONS ELECT ANTI-WAR DELEGATES; L | ‘World | __By Michael Gold— Returning to Jazz. readers of the Daily Worker are interested in jazz, for Many evidently strange as it seems, a column on jazz) was the one that seemed to draw) to date. Now try and figure that out, Comrade Editor! It would be inter- esting to give some extracts from these. letters. Using the Kernel. Your note on jazz touched the right spot,” writes the young prole- tarian composer Elie Siegmeister. “We in the Composer's Collective of the Pierre Degeyter Club have often dis- cussed t ubj Our general aim | im worl ‘d proletarian music | is-that it national in form, Tevo- | Jutionary in content | “What other really national mu: have we in this country beside j Consequently as musicians we are faced with the problem: how to eli minate all that is false, cheap, se hysterical in this music and yet re-| taim the essential American note. For | there is no doubt, if our proletarian music ‘is to be something other than) a Teflection of Russian or German models, if it is really to serve the | elass struggle in this country, it must speak the language of the American | masses. | “The good part of jaaz sprang out | of. the fresh, spontaneous invention | of number of Negro and white composers who managed to set down im’ musical terms those peculiar. rh¥thms and significant twists of the ice which mark off the American dialect from the English. ‘Their tricky, intricate frregular rhythmic patters were definitely an American creation, am expression of “certain native TNght-heartedness, ‘or and joy of fife. as jazz grew more popu- nt boom. Tin Pan Alley sprang and what had at first been an nal and fresh reaction towards began to be ground out ike sam- § . at so many dollars a squeeze. “Sex being a paying theme, the more moans and groans, the ‘hotter,’ the more stickily sentimental, the bigger the gate receipts. Consequent- ly; there was a mad rush to cover over the original tricky rhythms with @ gaudy sexual goo. “This overlay of filth is what the Russians have rightly tabooed; it is what troubles me when I hear it be- ing played as hot as possible, and being greatly enjoyed at our own Communist parties and affairs. Com- rades, we cannot take over and imi- tate the hotcha bourgeois dances 100 per cent without having their decayed ideology penetrating us also. “Yet I for one cannot believe that jazz should be discarded altogether. Té will ultimately be the job of the American proletarian composer to take the living rhythmic kernel of jazz, and instead of using it for whoopee, enlist it to express the vigor and~dynamics of the revolutionary Neorkker.” up. origi It’s a Problem. Now that seems to me a sane and creative attitude toward jazz. It is important to discuss jazz, because jazz affects the whole American problem @f proletarian art. We know jazz is| @ heap abused, commercial product, | yet Ht belongs to the masses. It is) tm the spirit of the tabloid newspe- | it is the spirit of radio humor, | what gets printed in our books ‘nd magazines. A Ti’s America, degraded and made vulgar by capitalism, but still, our mass-America. What is difficult is for am intellectual to take over this shoddy mass-hooey and use the best of it, when he really hates its guts. Comrade Seigmeister may have tried to use jazz elements in his work, but T feel sure, unless he is a genius, that it is a labored thing. ‘There must be spontaneity. A George Gershwin might be able to write native proletarian music, be- muse he comes from the jazz soil. I doubt of course that he could, as one needs a great deal of proletarian- ism too—perhaps more than one needs the other. Langston Hughes has come the nearest to what Siegmeister projects. Comrade Hughes hes written some fine lyrics in the jezz-rhythms, and their content is proletarian, By the , why aren’t our American com- posers setting some of these songs to music? Bela Reinitz, a young Vien- ese, has arranged one of them, I believe. - The. outstanding composer of the world proletariat, is Hans Eisler, I believe. He wrote the music for Red Wedding, Comintern and other fa- mous songs. I heard him play these ‘compositions in Berlin a few years ago, before the days of Hitler. In Bisler one feels the new power, cour- age and creative heroism of the work- ing-class. There are national ele- ments in his work, but it seems to me they are unconscious—even unnotice- able. Eisler has really found a kind of international style—tf this is pos- sible. BO a As Good As Wagner. But here's another interesting let- ter, signed by a comrade named Dale Curran: “Jazz is the main American con- wibution to folk art and proletarian arty” Jazz grew up out of the Negro teaction to white chauvinism; it ‘herefore expresses both Negro and white, “America took to jam readily— Nhat attivide of covering up senti- 'Prolet | all Published by the Comprodafiy Publishing Co. 18th St, New York City, N. ¥ Address and mail chacks Telephon to the Dally Worker Ine © ALgonquin 4 50 F. 13th dally except Sunday, at 50 R Cable “DAIWORK.” N.Y.

Amter, National Secretary of the Unemployed Councils of Amer- ica, issued a ringing call today to Unemployed Councils, Leagues, Associations and other organizations to send large delegations to the United States Congress Against War, which ‘will open its sessions in Mecca Temple and St. Nicholas Arena, New York City on Sept. 29th. “The United States Congress Against War must include larga numbers of delegates of unemployed organizations. The interests of the unemployed are opposed to those of the employers as embodied in the NIRA,” Amter stated in his call. “Roosevelt and Wall Street want war —we must fight against it. The un- employed will be the first to be put into the army in case of war. They will be used to slaughter the tens of millions of unemployed in the other countries drafted into the armies of other imperialist nations.” Employed 35 Years in Brewery; Fired, He Commits Suicide MILWAUKEE, Wis. — Joe Bushinger, 52, was found in | Washington Park with his throat and wrist slashed.

The aged man had worked 35 years in the bottling department of Schlitz’s. mentality with a good-natured laugh can’t be expressed any other way. In its uncommercialized form jazz has plenty of beauty. When you've heard the St. Louis Blues played by a@ good orchestra (say Ted Lewis at his best), you’ve had an experience of the same emotional value as lis- tening to Wagner. “Jazz came up out of the Black Belt, emerging thanks to the genius of thet amazing little man, Handy, and the world’s music has never been the same since then. The radio and movie exploitation of it is only an incident in tts growth; it is strong enough to outlive them. We can’t condemn a sound musical develop- ment just because soap-peddlers, crooners and greasy-voiced announ~- cers are grafting a living off it.” ¢ * A Consumer Speaks. | Comrade Curran, you are right, but if anyone can convince me that commercialism can be taken out of jazz without a social revolution, I will be ready to believe in Grover Whalen’s Nira. Some frank person named Shaw, who lives in Clinton, Pa., writes in to say that in his opinion jamz is only a way to find a mate. It has nothing to do with music, he insists; “{t’s simply a case of the bull finds @ cow ready.” And Mr. Shaw claims to be an authority; “yes, I have probably jazzed in 50 different cities, including New York.” Let us hope that this jazz-veteran hasn’t gotten as tired of jazz as some of us. But here is the voice of a jazz-consumer, Comrade composers; how would you like to try to produce tor htm? woo Var ge Answers to Correspondents.

Brewery | The bombshell is in the form of revelations that leaders of the Detroit Party have been operating, together with a capitalist politician, a | sweating the life out of about 80 unem- ® ployed workers who were lured to a ; farm with all sorts of glowing prom- ises, | The-farm, located at Capac, Mich., | was rented in the spring by a group | of leaders of the Detroit local of the Proletarian Party who were in con- trol of the Unemployed Citizens League, an organization which now exists only on paper. They brought in to help them a notorious indi- | vidual named Dennis E. Batt, who | was at one time a leader of the Pro- | letarian Party, but left the party several years ago to run for office on the Republican ticket and to fe- come a “labor” journalist in the best capitalist style. Bat proved very useful; through his political connec- tions, he got a $2,200 seed loan from the city council and the farm was launched. Ford Slave-Driver Brought In | Unemployed workers, sent to the farm to raise vegetables, were told community, run by themselves, with the profits shared among them. But they soon discovered that their gon- ception of workers’ self-government and that of the Proletarian Party bureaucrats were not exactly alike. ‘The leaders brought in as superin- tendent one Bill Lamnek, who had at one time been a member of the party. This individual formerly worked as a superintendent at the Ford Motor Co., where he had the reputation of being one of the worst slave-drivers in the plant and had boasted of his ability “to put a man in the hospital.” | _Lamnek quickly proceeded to vin- dicate his reputation and instituted @ system of browbeating and espion- age in the best Ford tradition. A committee of former workers on the farm has issued a statement ex- posing the entire racket. Despite the efforts of the Proletarian Party lead- ers to sidetrack it, the matter has come up on the convention floor and the statement is being distributed among the party members. The com- mittee of former farm workers is led by Sam Garrett, who has just been expelled from the Proletarian Party, and W. Davenport, a non-party worker. Garrett was expelled for leading a rank and file opposition movement aaginst this racketeering and against the opportunist, betrayal policies of the party bureaucrats, To save its face before the mem- bership, the Keracher machine, which has run the Proletarian Party ever since its organization, has also sus- pended Al Renner, the chief leader of the party in Detroit. Renner, also a former Ford superintendent and a real estate shark, has been intim- ately connected with the “self-help” | racket. The revelations concerning this racket mark another step in the de- generation of the little group of bench-warming “super-Marxists” who are the leaders of the Proletarian Party and whose chief stock in trade for years has been unprincipled at- tacks on the Communist Party. For some weeks the report has been current among the membership that the present convention will be the last and will mark the final breakup of the Proletarian Party. A section of the leadership is advocat- ing accepting the overtures made to them by the Lovestone group of rene- gades from Communism. By join- ing with the Lovestoneites they hope to establish a new base for their counter-revolutionary and racketeer- ing activities and to continue to mis- lead the small number of workers that still follow them, that this would be a real workers’! aS hy Sianmmetie roe F e Are.Not Stopping!” ID SUBSCRIPT! ‘By Mail everywhere: One year, 36 Canada: One year, $9: 6 ® | Kansas Unemployed March Asks More Pay On County Jobs, Democrat-Contr olled Organization Turned Into Military Body KANSAS CITY, Kan—wWith the starvation relief program unchang- ed despite the NRA, and winter not far away, 750 workers marched to the Wyandotte ‘county court house to demand wage increases on county relief jobs. The march was arranged by the Armourdale Unemployed As- sociation. Initiated by = local democratic politicians in“order to gain votes, “the workers have turned the asso- ciation into a militant body for their own purposes. At the meeting with the county commissioners, Clarence Staten, president of the association tried to hide the demands of the Unem- ployed. He praised the county commissioners who are responsible for the low pay on county work and said that “we appreciate what you have done for the unemployed. James Lawson, a member of the organization’s executive showed the horrible conditions where heads of families are given one day a week work for which they get $3.20. In addition they receive $1.50 in groc- eries. Usually-this must last for two and at times three weeks. This starvation condition means death for many workers this winter if no changes are made, was the charge made by Lawson. Lawson reported to the workers who visited outside the court house that the commissioners dodged their demands. The workers asked for a minimum of 40'eents an hour and a 35 hour week on all county work. A. W. Barry. spoke for the Unem- ployed Counc. He exposed the NRA program of relief cutting for the unemployed and reducing wages of the employed. .,, The call for amore intense mob- ilization of all’workers in the county Seattle Longshoremen Stopped Munition Ship- ments to White Guards Editor's Note. —Many marine workers will be delegates at the United States Congress Against War which will meet in New York Sept. 29 to Oct. 1. A marine worker delegate also has sailed to the World Youth Congress Against War and Fascism, which opens in Paris Sept. 22.

That is only a small part of the significance of the Naval Reserve requirement of the merchant ship owners. Beyond ® doubt, the strikebreaking phase is ® big factor in it. Another factor is that the United States government paid the shipown- ers to build most of the ships now flying the American flag, and still pays for many of them through ship Subsidies, to have those ships ready in case of war to be used as com- merce raiders, transports, and auxili- ary cruisers.

Dissention among Chancellor Doil- fuss’ supporters as to the degree of Fascism to impose on Austria as a substitute for the theatened Nazi} seizure of power made the danger of violent action by Stahremberg’s le- gions acute. Meanwhile Theodor Mabicht, Nazi “inspector for Austria,” declared that the Nazi campaign to take over Aus- | tria would be intensified, in a speech before a large gathering in Munich. “This is the issue that will deci the battle of Germanism in Europe,” Habicht declared. The Austrian Heimwehr (Home Guard) Fascists have prepared a series of demands on Dolifuss, in- cluding the resignation of Franz Winkler, vice-chancellor, who is op- posed to full Fascism, and the re- placing of Karl Vaugoin, Minister of War, by Emil Fey, Minister of Security. to stop the starvation conditions here was greeted by the gathering | of the NRA, 400 workers demon-| j demonstrators asked for an addi- Increased Relief Asked in Capital At Demonstration Socialist Heads Relief Station; Denies | Jobless Needs WASHINGTON, Sept. 19. — In| the nation’s capital, the birthplace | strated at the local relief station for more relief last Friday.

The general plan on which the powers are agreed is that the conti- nental nations adopt a uniform sy tem of military training, that certain} types of war aircraft (for which be substi- | tuted) be eliminated, that no reduc- tion be made of any other type of | weapon, and that Frenre and Italy) should join in the sondon Naval) treaty, which fixes naval ratios, giv-/ ing the United States and Great Bri-| tain the largest naval power, and that | international supervision be adopted stead of arms limitations for a pe- ‘ed of three or five years. | U.

Would Make Seamen Scab on Selves In this way.it keeps a trained per- sonnel of officets.and men, ready for immediate draft. into the armed forces, if need be, in war, The mer- chant officers are practically forced into the Naval Reserve. For eleven years the reformist International Seamen’s Union has advocated a na- val reserve of seamen with a short period of enlistment in the navy and preference on all jobs after that en- listment has expired. This would ob- viously force all seamen: into the Na- val Reserve. And it would put them all into the strikebreaking forces. In case of a strike the government could, and would, call them “to the colors” to scab on themselves. We had such an experience with government sttike breaking in 1921. No group of industrial workers is as close to the armed forces as the marine workers. That is especially true in the United States. But it is also true of every imperialist nation the manning scale of the battleships and auxiliary vessels. Seamen Special War Sufferers No group of, workers suffers as keenly from war as the marine work- ers, especially the seamen. Longshore casualties rank at the head of the’ list even in peace time. At sea, the/ marine workers face conditions no other workers are brought up against. In the last war, 37,000 merchant, sea- men lost their lives in disasters di- rectly resulting from the war. Thou- sands more were lost in other acci- dents due ‘to running without lights on dangerous coasts, and similar causes. One country, Norway, lost over half of its merchant fleet, al- though it was not “in the war.” Other nations Jost thousands of tons of shipping and thousands of men. The true total will never be known. But the loss did not hit the shipowner. His “risk” was insured. The lives of the workers were not insured. The seaman is not a good risk. A vessel that reached port with one cargo of the murder supplies paid for herself, As the marine workers.are among the gréatest sufferers from war, and as the government makes its greatest efforts to check and control these Workers and to keep them loyal, so too, the marine workers have been the most active group in all anti-war today. Any war is immediately de- pendent on transportation, and to a large extent on marine transporta-, tion, for carrying troops, f | Seton a sean OS ions, and for. men -to. fill out]: activities. In September, 1919, the Iongshore- men of Seattle, Washington, discov-| ered cases of rifles bound for the White Guard “armies of: Kolohak. | of munitions to Kolchak were stop- Siberia. They refused to put those cases aboard, and sent a wire to Pres- ident Wilson informing him that no minuitions for use against the revo- lutionary workers of the Soviet Union would be allowed to leave the port of Seattle, They also wired the other longshoremen of West Coast ports that shipments of munitions were coming through disguised. Shipments | ped, and Kolchak’s armed assault on the Soviets backed by American, Brit- ish, French and Japanese troops, col- lapsed. The power of the American marine workers, added to that of the Red Guards crushed the “Admiral” and his own troops shot him. The invading foreign forces were driven out of Soviet territory. In more recent times, many marine workers in various countries have taken part in effective actions to stop the shipment of arms and munitions to Japan and to the White Guards in Manchuria. In Copenhagen, early this year, the 8. S. Jolantha was “scheduled to sail with a cargo of munitions, Led by the International of Seamen and Harborworkers, sea- men, Iongshoremen and unemployed of Copenhagen put up a battle to stop the shipment, and only the se2b- bery of the leaders, of the reformist |’ transport unions and the police were able to get that ship out, three days late.
