RLD! 7 a be By Michael Gold Shut Up! etn 'VERYWHERE you go thésé’ days, you hear the kids of America sing that lilting tune with the remarkably silly words, “The Big Bad Wolf.” I like the kids when theyising most anything, but I must confess that if another four-year-old Caruso warbles this ditty at me I am going to break off diplomatic relations at once with him (or her). It’s a good tune, kids, but it shouldn’t be overworked. We all like chocolate, but it would be torture to make three meals a day of candy. I would suggest ‘You go on a thirty-hour week as far as singing this song is concerned.; The world is full of fine songs, and when you are through working on your regular job of defying this big bad quadruped, you might relax by yelling the tunes of “Hallelujah, I’m @ Bum” or “Annie Laurie” and the like. Isn't it bad enough that All the adults are singing this song? Amer- iea is full of bankrupt salesmen and idle usurers and landlords and authars of ballyhoo who pep, themselves up all day by this song. It has taken the place of Christian Science and the Coue system of auto- suggestion. A year ago, everyone was singing that mournful and effective thing, “Buddy, Can You Spare a Dime?” This was too realistic a song of the crisis, however, and the Big Shots, wiser than many of us know, put the quietus on it. First they stopped it on the radio, then they ordered it off every vaudeville stage: The movies got the mysterious tip, and suddenly forgot, also, the millions of Americans who must ask for dimes these days. President Roosevelt and the Brain Trust arrived to solve all our problems, and by some miracle or other produced, not prosperity or jobs, but a New Spirit. % ‘Whenever capitalists talk of the spirit, or the spiritual forces, chil- dren, you had better watch you pockets. It is the signal that somebody is trying to divert your attention while his accomplice is stealing your last penny. The New Spirit of the Blue Eagle has made a lot of people happy. They are the bankers and big. industrialists who have millions and mil- lions of dollars from the government. But despite the fact that you find a Blue Eagle sign and-an. American fiag over some of the Hoover~ ville shacks on the garbage dumps, the great; mass of American workers have got nothing from this bive bird but a lot of promises and a theme song, “Who's Afraid of the Big’ Bad Wolf?” The Big Bad Depression” WONDER which of the geniuses in the Brain Trust collaborated with Walt Disney in writing this song. It expresses so accurately the general line of the Roosevelt, policy. The villain of the piece; the wolf, stands, of course for the Big Bad Depression. The three little'pigs are the people of America. The two little pigs who built their hotises of flimsy straw and sticks are, naturally, the worker and farmer. The depression-wolf came along and blew their houses down, But he cqud not touch the solid brick structure built up by the wise, far-seeing, rugged, sane, self-denying Banker, the third little pig. x This is the little pig whom’ the government has helped up to now, With loans and legislation. The help for the workers, small as {t is, has been given grudgingly, * hot at all. Why showld the Blue Eagle heip silly little pigs who didn’t know enough to save their wages, like the gocd little bankers? Imaging.it, the workers used to spend all their money, when they were earming tt, on food and clothes and shelter. And on ? they complain. like wise Mr. J P. Morgan, or Andy Mellon? see these men spending all their jack on groceries! Anyway, the Blue Eagle;,hasn’t forgotten the thriftiess masses of America, but has given them a song to sing. Gouldn’t they have saved some of it for a You didn’t | Men Without Bellies | philosophies that deny. the flesh. The workers have been asked to sranscend the fact that they have stomachs. Many of them have managed to stand behind Mr. Morgan and the President on this issue, and have jearned to do without food? “But the majority are still bound by the | chains of illusion and hunger, and demand something sordid and real, } | Negroes, and the torture by mobs “| Prominent speakers, HIS is the country of Christian Science movements, of transcendental | Caldwell, Others Write in Current | New Masses Issue} Two features of special literary in- terest appear in the Jan. 16 issue of the weekly New Masses, out today. One is the review, under the title “Der Schoene Archibald,” of Archi- bald MeLeish’s “Poems, 1924-1925,” in which Margeret Wright Mather as- serts that “Archibald is a Nazi, at least a kind of ur-Nazi, whether he wants to be or not.” The other is the revelation of Er- skine Caldwell turning reporter. In an exclusive story from Augusta, Ga., Caldwell reports the lynching of three near Bartow, Ga., of at least five others, as well as the existence of a continving reign of terror in that part of the South. Among the other contributions in this week’s New Masses are a pro- letarian short story, “Miner's Fun- eral,” by Emery Balint, and a com- prehensive analysis of the reyolt in Pukien Province, China, by C. Frank Glass, under the caption “The War Lords Go ‘Left.” Workers Lab Theatre Shock Troupe to Give Performance Tomorrow NEW YORK.—The Workers’ Lab- oratory Theatre will present its “Shock Troupe” in its first monthly full-evening performance tomorrow night at 42 EB. 12th St. at 8:30 p.m. Although this is its first independent performance, the Shock Troupe has been actively functioning for the past six months, devoting its ener- gies to the agitation and support of the various strike movements in Greater New York and vicinity. The program will consist of the poem-drama, “Newsboy,” a scene from the Siftons’ “1931,” a scene from Moliere’s “L’Avare” and a number of individual improvisations and recita- tions. “Peace on Earth” to be Published Soon “Peace on Earth,” by George Sklar and Albert Maltz, with a preface by Sherwood Anderson will be published shortly by Samuel French, Inc.

The world at large may now examine the true forces which, combined, resulted in Harry Edwards death. en die- bout his work. But a fer a “shake-up” had taken place in the department. Several ef the old fore- men were replaced: by more energetic fellows. That's hew Jim Allen came to be the giver of commands on Shorty’s line. To he sure, the com- pany incurred no loss by promoting Allen to foremanship. Under his “vigorous” leadership production rose all of 15 per cent in four weeks, while the working force was reduced from 58 to 52 men. Occasionally there was @ faint rumble of resentment against Allen’s prodding methods. But he prided himself on the indomitable manner in which he subdued anyone who questioned his authority. WAS lunch hour. A graveyard- Tike qtie¢ prevailed in the Metal Press Building of the Greggs Body Company. The huge motionless ma- chines, arrayed in long rows through- out the gigantic glass-roofed struc- ture, looked like so many steel mon- sters in the semi-darkness. Scattered in the aisles and between the ma- chines, little groups of workmen were sitting on benches, on trucks or on the sticky cement floor. They were talking in whispered undertones as if afraid to arouse the iron monsters towering all about them. Squatted on a low wooden hand- truck was the lonely figure of Shorty Edwards. Alongside of him stood his open lunch box, from which he took @ Wax paper-wrapped sandwich. Delicious though the sandwich looked, Shorty did not appear to en- joy it. His massive jaws moved slow- ly and reluctantly up and down with monotonous regularity. Gloomy thoughts undoubtedly occupied his mind, for his deep-sunk eyes stared dull and aimlessly before him. A sad and worried expression enhanced the usual melancholy appearance of his thoughtful countenance, The source of Shorty’s unpleasant meditations lay in the enormous up- There was, however, one persistent cloud which cast ite shadow over this brilliant performance. The time spent for repair work on his line exceeded considerably that of Allen’s nearest rival, the foreman on the door line. But for this shoricorting, the super- intendent had told him on several oc- castons, the upper-back line would be ranked at the head of the entire de- partment. So Jim Allen resolved to sweep this final obstacle aside at any cost. And Shorty henceforth became an object of particular attention to the determined foreman. At times Shorty felt. a burning de- sire to let his bony fist make a swift journey to the ambitious foreman’s acquiline nose. Only the thought of the inevitable consequences withheld his ever-itching hand.

Preser Shorty abandoned his half-hea attempis to force the food into his unwilling stomach. He put the remainder of the sandwich back into the lunchbox, closed it and rose with a painful grimace.
