Y. Yachts By MARGUERITE YOUNG PROVINCETOWN, Mass—On an evening when 20-odd magnificent racing boats of the New York Yacht Club squadron lolled haughtily at anchor in the harbor here, Jose Vas~ sos sat beside the crucifix in his lamplit sitting room and said, “I wonder how we're gonna get through next winter?” Jose Vassos (which is not his name) is one of the 1,500 unorgan- ized fishermen who are exploited and terrorized by four cold-storage fac- tories located in Provincetown, but owned chiefly by New Yorkers: and Bostonians. Once the fishing indus- try supported hundreds of sturdy, in- dependent colonists, but now: “Sometimes we really have to pay the companies for taking our catch to market,” Jose Vassos said. “The companies own the boats and the traps. We work for them. They, send our fish to market, they take out their expenses and they take out their profit, and the rest they let us share. Many times they tell us the fish didn’t pay expenses, We've got to cough up.” 300 to 400 Always Jobless Between 300 and 400 of the fisher- men are permanently unemployed— and there is no such thing as public relief in Provincetown. Many of the 1,500 are part-time workers, “on call” to be summoned by the factory to go out to net, to seine, to handline, at 2 or 3 or 4 am. A few inside workers earn $15 to $18 a week—two to four in each factory. Most of the employed feel lucky if they earn $10 this week, $5 next, and then nothing for two or three weeks, “They ain’t doing nothing down here about the N.R.A.,” Jose Vassos responded when asked about that. “Food’s gone up, but not wages. The factories still have two firemen and two engineers only, each working 12 hours a day.” Like all the other fishermen, Jose Vassos is a Portuguese, one of the descendants of those proud colonists who came from Lisbon and the Azores, to fish in America, not so very long after the Pilgrims put in at Provincetown on their way to Ply- mouth. But now the Provincetown descendants of the English colonists will advise a stranger seeking lodg~ ings, “Rooms cost $5 to $10 a week— unless you want to live among the Portuguese.

Crisis Has Increased Hardships Most of the middle-class tourists. and artists who make a summertime Greenwich Village of this bright lit- tle community that rests on the very end ‘of Cape Cod—curiously, the Cape is exactly like a militant worker's arm, stretching out into the sea from Massachusetts, with the elbow bent and the fist clenched!—do not want to live among the Portuguese fish- ermen, There is more race-consciousness in the fisher families. Once only they tried to organize and failed because of the attitude of the factories. But they are better prepared for organ- ization now than they ever have been before; each of the last three years has brought them increased hard- ships, This was evident in Jose Vassos, as he sat there, his face bronzed and seamed, his muscles thick from 30 years’ fishing, his dark and fiery TONIGHT’S PROGRAMS WEAF—660 Ke. 7:00 P.

How to Live Next Winter “Thirty years ago there were over 100 vessels owned in Provincetown,” he said. “Today there’s exactly one, the Mary P. Goulart, that pretty four-masted schooner anchored down by the main wharf. Twenty-seven men had the Mary P. Goulart last year, and in the twelve months they earned, altogether, $180.” “How did they live?” “Well, how did they live?” Vassos countered. “That's what we're all wondering. And we're wondering how we're gonna live next winter. “The factories make money, though: the Cape Cod Storage Com- pany ain’t paid no taxes in three years.” “How do they get by with it?” “Well, you “know, when you got money, you'can do anything. The Cape Cod is owned by Robbins and Robbins, in New York. For us Prov- incetown fellows things’ve got worse and worse. When my father came to this country, they could go in rowboats to fish. They'd go along the Cape to Truro, spring and fall, and fish with a pole. Today I’ve got to go out forty or fifty miles if I want to make a dollar, and it’s damn danger- ous.” “Curse of the Fishing” For since Vassos’ father fished in sight of his little cottage, the Cape Cod, the Consolidated Cold Storage, the Provincetown and the Fisher- men’s Cold Storage companies have taken over the industry. Worse, they have introduced a hulking, tremen- dous new kind of vessel, the beam trauler. “Them beam-traulers is the curse of the fishing,” Vassos explained. “Ripley says there’s 2,300 kinds of fish and I reckon at least half of ’em you can find right around the Cape, here . But them beam-traulers go along as near shore as possible, and they don’t leave nothing behind. ‘They scoop the bottom, spawn and all. Little fish and big. The little ones the men throw back, dead. I've seen ’em throw away 40,000 pounds of fish to save 4,000.” And when the machinery of mass production injures the exploited fisherman, when he gets a finger mashed ‘or goes down with pneu- monia from exposure——? “Compensation, But——” “They got compensation laws in this state, but we don’t get much of it. We don't put in for it because we're fearful of our jobs. There's mighty little difference between one factory and another, but Frank Rowe, the manager at the Cape Cod, is a mighty hard boss. The other day a couple of the boys were coming in, wet and cold and shivering. Rowe saw ‘em and laid 'em off—said they were drunk.” On the table in the fisherman's living room, full of crucifixes and religious pictures, @ newspaper lay, spread open, showing a photograph of the yachts that rode at anchor in the bay. The newspaper held a glow- ing, romantic account of the trim squadron with its flagship carrying Junius 8, » son of the head of the house that epitomizes finance capitalism, newspaper reported how Harold Vanderbilt, “sailing” the yacht Weetamoe, led the squadron in their Cape Cod run. Jose Vassos gave it a glance of pure disgust and said, “Them fellows know about ee all right: they aboard. Vander- ny boat all the time. takes it once in a while, but of them big boats ships a cap- I ain't got much education, but I can handle a boat a damn sight better than that crowd.” Bloomfield to Teach Course in Leninism at Workers School NEW YORK.—The course in Len- inism in the Fall Term of the Work- ers School, which opens next Mon- day, will Be taught by the assistant director of the school, Sidney Bloom- ‘This course will include an analy- es of the meee and development caliber Lesa ppinin of capi- war Wor! - economy, eco: lopment in the U.S.A., the ig Boi grins revolution and dictat of the proletariat, the problems ot socialist construction in the USSR, the national question aa the role role of the Communist Par- for winning the majority of the working class for world proletarian revolution.

He was superintendent an ice-cream plant. Party or the Yipsels had a picnic we bought our ice-cream from Com- rade Miller's plant, We young ones were warned not to call him “com- rade” when we went to him with our orders, It sounded strange to call him Mister, but we were told that § boss didn’t want him to mix Social- ism with business. So we gave him our orders for ice-cream and were very glad when he shook hands with each one of us. Although Hillyer did not have a cleer speaking voice. it was effec with a mushy sentimental piiasn:| Maybe he got it from the ice-cream. | Like Van Lear he always spoke about the suffering of labor under capital-| | ism and never said what ought to| be done about it except elect Social- ist candidates, Crocodile Tears I remember one meeting called in support of the miners on strike on/ the Mesaba Range. An old miner) | described how he and others worked in the watery mine pits, yet never) made enough to live on, He described how hig wife and children were hun- gry. The audience was moved, Miller wiped his moist cheeks with a red handkerchief, When he stood up to speak there was a hush in the hall as if it were a church, with Jesus about to deliver the Sermon from the mount. “My heart breaks,” Miller began in a choked voice. He had to pause sev- eral times to wipe his. eyes as he re- | peated only in more elegant words t the old miner had said so sto- ically. Had Miller broken down much more than he did during his speech, the meeting would have ended in failure. But towards. the end, he gained strength and concluded with an hysterical appeal for funds for feeding the miners’ kids. Women threw. rings into the col- lection hats; bills fluttered in out- stretched hands. The hall was in tur- moil with men and women shouting their donations. Miller was a (Shc | revolutionist. Then the War Came War was declared. The city elec- tions and the draft came at about the same time. Some of the younger Socialists had already been arrested for opposing conscription and were out on bail, pending trial. Our party | meetings were suddenly deserted by the older “comrades,” mong them Miller. And I remember Mahoney, now mayor of St. Paul, coming to a meeting and slinking out when we younger ones ‘forced dis- cussion on anti-war activity. The city convention for nominating cur ticket was one of the largest held. Amidst tumultuous applause Miller accepted the nomination for Mayor. While everyone cheered, he stood up and waved at us with his red hand- kerchief. “The Thomases of Those Days” Then we voted on a platform, After much oratory we younger ones foreed through a plank reiterating the op- position to war as stated in the St. Louis platform, accepted at an emer- gency convention and sabotaged by Berger, uit and the Thomases, of those days. As soon as the plank was adopted, Miller stood up. Everyone was quiet, for he was white in the face, and his lean body trembled. “Comrades, comrades,” hepleaded. “T’ve got a wife and children, They will arrest me if I run on such a platform, Please don’t put me in such a condition. Please, comrades!” Insist on Anti-War Plank We younger oneS swept the con- | yention with our scorn. “The foot- prints of our Russian comrades are still blood-stamped on the snows of Siberia. Shall we turn cowards when they have unfurled the red banner of liberation?” The plank was voted on a second time, and again carried, though with a smaller majority. Miller stood up. He wiped the perspiration off his face with his red handkerchief, He tugged at his solid red tie. “I can’t run on The LITTLE GUILD — presents — Concert and Dance — PROGRAM — 1, Quartet in G.... 2.
