DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1933 Page Five WHAT WORLD! By Joseph Freeman AN JOSE is the unofficial capital of the Santa Clara Valley, California, The sunlight and the high hills that surround it give it an air of semi- tropical languor that reminds you of Mexico. That impression is strength- ened if you go to the Mexican quarter, and listen to Spanish phrases lilting over tamales. The town has been on the front page of the capitalist press several fumes this year. First, David A. Lamson, a member of the aristocratic colony around Leland Stanford University, was tried in San Jose on the charge of killing his wife. More recently, Brooke Hart, son of a depart- ment store magnate, was kidnapped and killed. Both incidents were splashed over the pages of the press in all cities. Eyents in the lives of the rich, from marriage to murder, are hot news in the capitalist. press. Much less attention was given to the fruit strike in the Santa Clara, led-by the Agricultural and Cannery Workers Industrial Union with head- quarters in San Jose. The struggle of the workers is no as important news as the murders of the rich. ...¥et the same San Jose jail which housed David Lamson also confined a number. of strikers. The former was given every comfort. The latter were herded with pickpockets and other petty criminals in a filthy, crowded pen. But the strike leaders understooi its social origins of crime, and drew their fellow prisoners into the activities which they organized in the pen. There were classes in Marxism, lectures on the N.R.A. By the end: of a. week the other prisoners joined the strikers in singing the International. . . iS fall, wheti I was in San Jose, I heard about the intolerable con- ditions in-the pen. I tried to see it, but the sheriff was suspicious and would n6t-let me in. ‘Across the street, about a hundred yards from the jail, is St. James Park,- where the Communist Party and the Agriculural and Cannery Workers Industrial Union hold open air mass meetings. While I was there, the local newspapers reported a bill pending in the. municipal, legislature forbidding all except religious and patriotic meetings in that park. It was hatd to say whether in the code of California capitalists lytiching comes under the head of religion or patriotism, but it was in the.park which the Santa Clara kulaks tried to take away from the Communists that a mob hung the kidnappers of Brooke Hart. The lynching hed the approval, if not the instigation, of the local rich. Now it has the official sanction of Governor Rolph. The chief ex- ecutive of Calffornia not only approved and praised the lynchers. He is now anxious to convert lynching into a general custom. “T am checking San Quentin and Folsom prisons,” he announces, “to find out what kidnappers they have. I am thinking of paroling them to those fine patriotic citizens of San Jose who know how to handle such a situation.” That settles it. Lynching is not religious, but patriotic. It is to be- me an institution for the protection of the lives of the rich, since imeppers, as a Tule, do not kidnap he poor, whose relatives are unable heavy ransoms. ‘There have, of course, been cases where poor men have been kid- ed, but not with a ransom in view. These have been strike leaders, hugied by gangs into automobiles and taken out of the region where they were active organizing the workers. No capitalist paper, no capitalist of- ficial has ever agitated against such kidnappings It has never been suggested that mobs lynch those who abduct, torture or kill working class leaders. Rare joa yn the contrary, mobs are encouraged to re an igi. The same capitalist state which encourages the lynching of those who- kidnap and murder the rich, tolerates and approves the murder of 4e@ poor when these fight for living wages. . > ast month in Tulare, California, six cotton strikers were murdered the picket line and twenty strikers were wounded, including two women. Big farm owners and their gunmen also shot down two strikers in Porterville, three in Bakersfield, and one in Arvin. The shootings oc- curred after-the strikers, fighting for a dollar for every hundred pounds of cotton picked, defied the armed ranch owners and their night riders by mass picketing and parades. When a ric: men’s son is killed, the conitalist state approves lynch- ing, because murder is a very serious matter. When workers are mur- déyed, it is not so serious. “This is no irony. It is a simple statement of the nature of class justice, and the statement was made by a California court, which has fafled to punish the murderers of the cotton strikers. Pat Chambers, one of the arrested cotton strike leaders, has been placed under $10,000 bail, Eftérts to get the bail reduced have failed. Judge Allen of Tulare de- clared that “the crime of criminal syndicalism is more serious than the -erlme of murder.” That being the case, we must not be surprised if the authorities who encourage the lynching of murderers will also encourage the lynching of those who commit the “crime” that is “more serious” than murder, the “crime” of fighting for the interests of the working class. And it is a fact that the San Jose mob which came to lynch the kidnappers of Brooke Hart also demanded Antone Serpa, recently con- victed of slaying a ranch foreman. Deputy sheriffs, sticklers for form at times, persuaded the mob to attend to the immediate business at hand. But.the fact that the murder of a department store heir and the alleged murder of a foreman were put in the same category by a lynch mob indicates the dangers which militant workers in California face. ~ * * * RIME is an-eyil which is bound to persist in a class society based on extreme poverty and extreme wealth, and this includes the crime of kidnapping, committed by desperate men who are poor and anti-social against unscrupulous men who are rich and anti-social, Only the re-or- ganization of society on a socialist basis can begin to abolish the condi- tions which lead to crime. A society, such as capitalist society, which breeds exploitation, fraud, and robbery on the top and poverty, misery and ignorance at the bottom is bound to be crime infested. WfTiere prop- erty-owners are themselves jhe most guilty of robbery and violence, healthy Social relations are impossible. The San Jose lynching emphasizes that what the capitalists object to is not murder but the murder of their own; for they have themselves been -guilty of murdering unarmed workers picketing for better living conditions. The California landowners and politicians who approve and encourage the lynching of kidnapers have not lifted a finger to protect strikers or to apprehend their killers. They could not do so without arresting them- selves, “Murder. and lynching are in widespread use as instruments in the hands of property owners desperately repressing their industrial or agri- cultural serfs. The murder of the Communist leader, T. E. Barlow, by the-policemen and jail officials of Tarrant County, Texas; the slaughter of peaceful strikers in the San Joaquin Valley; the threats against the lives of the Scottsboro boys; the bloodshed in the Pennsylvania coal fields; the violence against the embattled farmers of the Middle West, indicate shat capitalist. law—whether it be formal Jaw or lynch law—is directed ‘oward protecting the lives and property of the rich against criminals, out also their profits against exploited workers and farmers. Governor Rolph’s call for mob violence has caught the sadistic imag- ination of other officials, Frank Walsh, Cook County, Illinois, coroner, now says that a lynching or two in Chicago of kidnapers and murderers “wouldn’t hurt a thing.” At least, he added, they “would be more effec- tive than some of the legal methods which have been used here.” Workers must be on their guard lest this official call to lynching be used against them in their struggles for a better life. Too many officials share the views of the Tulare judge who thinks that criminal syndicalism —by definition the activities of workers to improve their conditions—is “more serious” than murder, By implication mobs empowered by the capitalist to lynch murderers may lynch those who are “worse” than murderers. ‘Needless t6 Say, even the horrors of murder and lynching will not halt the struggles of the workers. Despite the terror, the San Joaquin cotton pickers won their strike. con Helping the Daily Worker through Michael Gold. SPOTAL TO DATE cocaessissssseysanetiscdepacesscone sey ber nsinis eg SMOKE | Hemingway’s New Book Reveals His By GRANVILLE HICKS WINNER TAKE NOTHING, By Er- nest Hemingway. Charles Scrtb- ner’s Sons, $2.00. ie ee To @ considerable extent one can judge a particular author's attitude towards life only by studying his de- velopment through several books. Certain of Hemingway’s stories in “In Our Time,” and “Men Without Women,” displayed not only an in- teresting technique, but also sharp eyes and ears and a valuable knowl- edge of the American people. It seemed not impossible that he would overcome his Jimitations and would |grow into a satisfying interpreter of the contemporary scene. Even “The Sun Also Rises,” could be regarded as an authentic and devastating rev- elation of the sterility of the life of the post-war loafers; it was true that Mr. Hemingway shared many of the delusions and obsessions of his char- acters, but there was still the chance of his outgrowing them. With the publication of “Death in the Afterncon,” any such hopes waned, and with the appearance of “Winner Take Nothing,” they com- Pletely vanish. The stoties in this volume, like those in his other col- lections, divide into two groups. In the first group we find the purely objective stories, which, in the new volume, deal with such topics as self- mutilation, homosexuality, and ven- ereal disease, They show that Hem~ ingway not only has failed to broaden his range, but has actually narrowed it. They show, also, that even for him, such events as he describes no longer have the significance they once had, and his treatment of them is commonplace and flat. The second group of stories is autobiographical, Mr. Hemingway pre- sents himself in the familiar guise of Nick Adams, and also under a new mame, Mr. Frazier. These autobio- graphical stories almost seem material for a psychiatrist rather than a liter- ary critic. There is, for example, “A Way You'll Never Be,” a story that succeeds only in making the reader @ little sorry for the author. There is “Fathers and Sons,” which is meat for the Freudians. And there is “Gambler, Nun and Radio,” which explicitly states and certainly demon- strates Mr. Hemingway’s unwilling- ness to do any thinking. Even as self-revelation, however, the stories are dull, for Mr. Hemingway has gone over the list of his symptoms many times before, Even the bourgeois critics have ad- mitted that “Winner Teke Nothing,” is a pretty bad book, and some of them have suggested that Hemingway is slipping. Their explanation of his decline is, of course, psychological, and there is no doubt that a com- plete explanation would have to take into account various individual ex- periences. But is is also worth not- ing that Mr. Hemingway is a believer in the existing order. He is a Catho- lic and, at least passively, he accepts capitalism. Yet in his books he does not defend either Catholicism or capitalism, but rather creates a little world of his own with a peculiar and narrow code of action and thought. In this respect he is a good deal like Archibald MacLeish, to whom the present volume is dedicated. Both of these men are torn by a conflict be- tween their literary aims and their social prejudices. They suffer, in other words, from one of the most serious diseases of the contemporary bour- geoisie. Mr. MacLeish is even now experimenting with an alleged cure for all such diseases, much recom- mended by certain eminent contin- ental authorities, called fascism. If Mr. Hemingway does not follow his example, it will be becaues he is al- ready moribund. String Section of Pierre Degey- ter Orchestra to Perform for T. U. U. C.

A. in By ALAN CALMER Tt doesn’t take long for the popular fictionists to turn out up-to-the- minute tales dealing with every new fad of the time. The N. R. A. is now a fitting subject for the impossible story magazines. The obvious, black- and-white way in which these stories refiect the propaganda of the ruling class is almost unbelievable. A current issue of the Saturday Evening Post (Nov. 18) includes one of these stories. Entitled “No Help Wanted” (by Hugh Wiley), it is a tale of several Negroes who are afraid that the N.R.A. will put them back to work! Jobs are forced down their throats (read this, you Negro work- ers who have been thrown out of work as a direct result of the N.R.A.), but they stay on the job only long enough to win a lot of money shoot- ing crap. Like every single one of these vile popular stories dealing with the Negro people, they are painted as a shiftless lot who don’t appreciate the “benevolence” of the _ white Another N. R. A. narrative is feat- ured, appropriately enough, in “Greater Gangster Stories,” a pulp- wood magazine; the story is called “N. R. A—No Rats Allowed” (by Anatole Feldman, December, 1933), Old man Schultz has bought up all the independent bakeries in the Tenth ‘Ward, cut the wages of the bakers, and raised the price of bread two cents. But worst of all, he has re- fused to sign the N. R, A.! Pete Swabo, “honest” labor organ- izer, is sent to help the striking bakers. The honest organizer goes for assistance to his old pal, Big Nose! Popular Fiction Serrano, guriman de luxe. Big Nose is listening closely to his Presicent’s N. R. A. speech. “That's what I call @ man!” he approves enthusiastically. When Big Nose learns that Schultz didn’t sign the code, “his eyes glowed with @ fanatical fire.” He takes charge of the bakers’ strike. “You're the boss from now on, Big Nose,” the honest labor organizer says. When Schtiltz, with his gangsters and politicians, tries to buy off Big Nose, the latter gets sore. What! turn against his President? He rallies the strikers, makes up a ballad for them (a stinking parody on our strike songs), gets the other “mobs” to wipe out the gangster, and forces Schultz to sign the N. R. A.

And in the great steel strike of 1919, of which William Z. Foster was the leader, similar measures were employed on an even wider scale. The workers, however, have many ficial barriers set up by the bosses | and have successfully combined. to struggle for better conditions. Among the important strikes in the indus- try which Davis describes in detail are: Homestead (1892); American Tin Plate (1901); Carnegie (1901); Ensley and Bessemer, Ala. (1902); Iron Range (1907); U.S, Steel (1909); MecKees Rock (1909); Bethlehem (1910); Iron miners’ (1914); Brad- dock (1916); Iron Range (1916); Bir- mingham (1918); Bethlehem (1918); Great Steel Strike (1919); Wheeling (1921); Newport, Ky. (1921-22); Mansfield (1931); Warren (1932). The followed by a detailed analysis listing the five main reasons for failure in that heroic struggle. This ought to prove fruitful in determining steel workers’ strategy and tactics in fu- ture campaigns, Davis likewise traces the history of unions in steel, from the organ- ization of the Amalgamated Associa- tion of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers in 1875, through the Knights of La- bor, the Sons of Vulcan, the I.
