Dx «1% WORKER, NEW YORK, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1933 Page Five re essence of the proletarian revolution lies in its international char- acter, The great historic ery of Marx and Engels known to us in Eng- \ lish as “workers of the world unite!” is more accurately translated in other languages. The phrase is: “Proletarians of all lands unite!” The work- ers’ struggles in one country are inseparable from the workers’ struggles im other countries. A platitude, of course. But to say that an idea is a platitude is to say it is so true that people take it for granted. Right there is the rub, Nothing must be taken for granted. We must keep our eyes constantly fixed on the tremendous class battles not only in this country, but in Europe, Asia, Africa, Latin America. We must + Participate in them. In every possible way we must aid our comrades E other lands. & . * * I HAVE just finished reading one of the most terrific pamphlets of our violent era, Unfortunately, it has not yet appeared in English, but I understand that a translation is being prepared, The pamphlet, entitled “Poland—Slaughterhouse of Men,” describes one of the cruelest and most sadistic regimes in the world, the blood- soaked fascist regime of Marsha! Pilsudski, Poland lies in the heart of Europe, surrounded by nations proud of their lofty culture. In the midst of this lofty cuiture, Polish workers are wracked and destroyed in an indescribably bestial manner. The most idealistic and heroic men and women of the country, most of them in the | bloom of youth, are butchered daily. Those who are not murdered are 4 thrown into rivers, infected with syphilis, 6r tortured until they remain |) physice! and mental wrecits for life, | And this orgy of political sadism is carried on not merely by profes- )} sional thugs, but by government officials, cabinet ministers, judges, red cross agents. The director of this bloody pogrom is that half-insane monster Marshal Pilsudski, This is no secret, The whole of Poland ) knows it. f i} T cannot think of any words adequate to describe the barbarities of Polish Fascism. To call it cruel, brutal, cannibalistic, savage, mad, is to | Vistas e the case. These adjectives may describe the tortures of the | mediaeval inquisition; they cannot possibly describe the raving deeds of Pilstdski’s slaughterhouse.

But there are times when they cannot be entirely concealed. The erles of the work- evs imprisoned in Lutsk for demonstrating against oppressive taxes at last other European countries. It became known that their jailers raped the women prisoners, pumped urine into their lungs, deliberately infected both men and women with the bacteria of the deadliest diseases. *A group of European intellectuals, headed by Henri Barbusse, pro- tested, agitated for the liberation of the Lutsk prisoners. The Polish Seim ‘was? compelled to “inyestigate.” The Polish Cabinet was interpolated, very, very politely. And the matter ended right there. No help could be expected from a Seim completely under Pilsudski’s heel, a parliament of thick-skulled fascist henchmen, No help could be fr from the fascist press, kept, cynical, corrupt, itself an instru- ent of the black terror. Als The Polish workers themselves speak to the world in the pamphlet On Pilsudski's slaughterhouse.

Bio Bue By GRANVILLE HICKS With this issue “The Anvil” shows its potentialities as a magazine of proletarian literature. . Erskine Cald- well’s “Daughter” is the best story “The Anvil’ has thus far published. It is also a story that promises well for the author's future. What strikes one ag the distinguishing yirtue in all Erskine Caldwell’s work is his respect, rather surprising but upimis- tekable and genuine, for the people he writes about, Though his charac- ters are often almost fantastic in their lust, their passivity, or their ignorance, he never shows either the seorn of the average bourgeois writer or the fear and hatred of a William Faulkner, This respect, which rests both on insight into the people them- selves and knowledge of the forces that have made them what they are, ig something a young author can build on, And now, if one ean judge from “Daughter,” Caldwell’s atten- tion is turning away from the biz- zarre and the pathetic in the actions of these people, and he is finding evidences of new aims and new at- titudes. This is hopeful, for few of our young writers are as well equi) as he to depict the awaken- ing of the common people, We have, for example, had many stories of men who killed starving members of their families, but I haye read none that mad¢ the act so credible as “Daughter” does. The simple repi ‘tie tion of the refrain about Saughter's waking up and saying she is hungry, irresistibly drums into the reader's mind. ‘Daughter” is not, of course, a story of the class-conscious pro- letarlat, but in depicting the jail delivery of Jim it does portray the kind of militancy in which, once nlanted; the seeds of class conscious- ness will grow. Joseph Kaler’s “Funeral” also deals with what might be called pre-class- conscious militaney. Though he can- not secure his effects with Caldwell’s simple strikes, Kalar does ereate the atmosphere of the coal fields and does suggest the terrible bitterness of the miners, Louis Mamet, too, in “The Pension,” which rounds out his story in the preceding issue, evokes credible workers. He is not quite sure enough in writing dialogue to rely on it so heavily, but his char- acters do take on definite shape. It is interesting to compare any one of these three stories with Helen Kop- pell’s “Out of the Holes,” the one tory in this issue that deals with the revolutionary movement as such. Here we have an account of a worker who, after a long and fruitless search ae & job, finally discovers the Un- ing really sticks in the consciousness of the reader. Obviously the success of Caldwell and Kalar or even the relative success of Mamet is better than this kind of failure. John C. Rogers’ “Call It Love,” which touches the fringe of the revolutionary move- ment, is also a failure, but this seems to ause he is confused about ay | ee and his situation, T have emphasized the stories that deal with the workingclass, but there are also the stories of petty bour- geois decline. Engene Joffe’s “In ” is neat, but merely a sketch, hi AND THE (MPARTIAL TURY OF GOMEST CITIZENS Weicu THe See | licly. By WALTER SNOW THE DISINHERITED, by Jack Con- roy. Coviel-Friede, $2. * * * Here is @ novel that towers like @ gaunt, unforgettable coal tipple above all other recent American pro- letarian fiction, During the past few years, mem~ bers of the Communist literary move~ ment have been so anxious to foster working class literature that many books, about which we had secret reservations, won our acclaim pub- If an author could etch a few realistic factory or strike scenes, if he had an eer for native dialect flav- ored with tobacco cud, if he attempt- ed to be vigorously honest, we felt that he was one of ours, Knowing that these writers faced largely hostile receptions from bour- geois critics, who are principally oc- cupied in log-rolling for their friends and leading advertisers, we assumed membership in a radical mutual ad- miration society, After all, such tac- tics might boom sales figures enough to make publishers willing to gamble on more proletarian literature. But “The Disinherited,” like the class it portrays, can stand on its own calloused feet, Even those who have followed all the work of Jack Conroy in magazines like “New Masses,” “The Left,” “Pagany,” “The American Mercury,” and “Interna- tional Literature,” where parts of this novel first appeared, will be amazed to learn how forcibly this Missouri migratory worker has woven his auto- biographical experiences into a com~ pact, dynamic whole that has the surge of power of a well-disciplined Picket line. In this odyssey of mid-Western labor during the past twenty-odd years Conroy not only fulfills a defi- nite theme (What faces the children of the Monkey Nest coal camp?) but also achieves the highest goal of any novelist, the creation of liveable human beings. No American labor novel since “The Jungle” has pre- sented such 8 gallery of figures as the elder Donovan, ex-priest and miners’ leader; young Larry Don- ovan'’s mother, who desired that at least one of her sons would get schooling and escape from Monkey Nest; Peg-leg Mike Riordan, the shot- firer; Bonny Fern; Aunt Jessie and her husband, Rollie Weems, who would never admit as long as he lived that the railroad strike was Bun Grady, industry's aged cast-off Br Placed his faith in Rescue Mis~ sions, Then there are Nat Moore with his two sickly wives, Lena and Emma; Helen Baker, who beeomes a prosti~ tute; Paul Stafford and his half-wit brother whose father was determined that they would never be entombed in mines; and Hans, the one-time follower of Karl Wiebknecht, who eventually arouses the farmers in penny foreclosure sales. These char- acters are endowed with the breath of life. They linger in one’s mind like memories of childhood, Boyhood Of Larry Donovan “The Disinherited” opens with the boyhood of Larry Donovan in the Monkey Nest coal camp. He is the son of an ex-Catholic priest whose stiles An Odyssey of Midwestern Labor in the Past 20 Years Jack Conroy’s First itst Novel, ‘The Disinherited,’ Tells Story of a Midwest Coal Camp face is now speckled with blue lumps of coal under the skin, whose should~ ers are stooped, breathing tortured by miner's asthma and ears growing deaf so that he can’t hear rocks that were | about to slip down. The stamp of inevitability is on every page of this grim pageant of the working class under capitalism. Entirely logical and unexaggerated | seem the sudden deaths, the dragging strikes, the abject poverty, the chil- dren reared to hate scabs and im- bued with the hope that schooling will enable them to rise to a mistily conceived security, the people seek- ing escape through marriage, drink, sordid affairs, new jobs. It is a chronicle of repeated defeats but, as Conroy says, “Somehow the miners seemed to lose the individual strike, but steadily to progress along the far-flung battle Ine of their goal.” Author Understands Workers Even after the coal camp trage- dies and after he was blacklisted for the railroad shopmen’s strike, that faith remained doggedly with Larry Donovan. He became a migratory worker toiling in a steel mill, a rub- ber plant, automobile factories, pipe lines and paving gangs. It should be especially stressed that Conroy’s novel is no monotonous litany of woe, Numerous quieter interludes, fragrant with the breath of green fields, spiced with Rabelaisian lunch hour jokes and impregnated with systematic understanding of work- ers’ pastimes and aspirations, relieve the main. theme and intensify sub- sequent tragedies, At first Larry hoped that he could rise from the uncertain future of in- dividual members of his class by mastering correspondence _ school courses, 1029 made him one of America’s dis- inherited, a Hoover City denizen. It eventually sent him back to Monkey | Nest, where he again met Karl Lieb- knecht’s follower, the crippled ex- rubber lant worker, Hans, who showed him a new Worizon and con- vinced him that he could rise only | with his entire class. A Minor Weakness One minor weakness of the novel 1s that Larry’s constant companion, Ed Warden, supposedly a worker scep- tical of all attempts at bettering la4) boring conditions, is very sketchily | portrayed. Only in two Good Sa- maritan incidents does he come alive. But all the other characters, and they are many in number, are well- rounded persons, Oecasionally a de- seription of the workings of new ma- chinery becomes overly technical; this criticism, however, applies to only a few isolated paragraphs. The careful craftsmanship of the book, as a whole, is a source of per- petual» delight. Byérywhere dne en- counters pithy phrases, similes, that gleam like miners’ lard-oil lamps in the murky denths of coal pits, and metavhors that are relentless hunger marehes. “The Disinherited” {s the work of a man who can really write and who tells the epic of our class.

John Strachey —— British revolutionary pubiicist, author of “The Coming Struggle for Power,” and “The Menace of Fascism” (Coyici Friede), who will be the correspondent in England of the weekly New Masses, Cowell Performs Own Compositions in Piano Recital NEW YORK.—Henry Cowell, pian- ist, composer and lecturer, gave a program of original compositions for the piano, last Friday night, at the Pierre Degeyter Club. | For this concert, Henry Cowell es- sayed something new—in his own words: “I wish to try this experi- ment of not having any program~ matic titles. I want to see whether the music means anything to the listeners, or whether it is only the title that means something.” The program, indicating solely mood and tempo, reads: “1. Slow, powerful; 2. Fast, bright; 3. Slow, delicate, etc.” In his introductory remarks, again quoting Cowell: “One of the great | faults in the field of workers music | has been that of combining revolu- | tionary lyrics with traditional musie —music which can by no means be termed revolutionary, One of the purposes of the Compoers’ Collective, of the Pierre Degeyter Club, of which I am a member, is to create music | that is revolutionary in form and in | content.” Cowell's performance cannot be judged as other piano recitals are, for he has invented a new piano technique, that brings into play not only the fingers but also the fist, the open hand and the forearm, some- | times striking entire octaves simul- | taneously creating what he calls “tone \elusters.” Here is music that in method is definitely revolutionary. He obtains tonal effects from the piano that, until his researches, were un- known to the instrument—orchestral effects that, despite innumerable hearings are still fresh and aston- ishing. Although these piano works of Cowell were written prior to, his. connection with the revolutionary movement, there are unquestionable signs of his turning “left,” particularly in his “No. 10, Fast, vehement.” A large and enthusiastic audience applauded generously both his play- ing and comments on music.

The work- Ing class, in its revolutionary for- ward march, thrusts aside and de- stroys superstitions and beliefs which are obstacles in the way of its prog- reas. It is an “affair” of the poet to reflect the life of the proletariat and also to inspirit his comrades with revolutionary ardor and hope, A corrupt class on its death-bed finds necessary such imaginative fig- ments as a god to expiate its crimes. The proletariat does not need a god as an asylum for its weakness. The proletariat overcomes its weakness by destroying the roots of its weakness. It destroys those social roots which nourish poverty, ignorance, religion and slavery and degrade the human being. It emancipates itself and pre- pares to build a classless society. morning ,,...” The hawk is also a symbol of the individualist who is| not a sparrow, not a “flock-bird,” but is “separate as a gray hawk.” The Roet cries: Give your heart to the! hawks instead of humanity, which is | corrupt and cowardly, Jeffers loves | this Nature God who is ruthless and | cruel as a hawk towards its victims, | the flock-birds. In the revivified| images of the New Testament, he de- | clares that civilization has once again | trapped and crucified its Christ. | ‘This Christ is the poetic projection | of Jeffers, the individualist. The contradiction appears ironical, par- ticularly when one realizes that Jef- fers’ work is an expression of a class which glorifies its cut-throat, com- ideals.
