Our movement must learn to SING. With song the marching workers find new courage. A song is really a slogan that has been emotionalized and put into a form where it catches the imagination of great masses of people, and sets them on fire. In their best days, when they were most militant and proletarian, the old I.W.W. used to be a singing movement. Every migratory wobbly had one of the famous little red song books stuck somewhere in his overalls. In boxcars or in lumber camps, in the hopfields or wheatfields, or on the picket line of a strike, or at some soapbox meeting in a western “slave market,” the workers brought out these books and sang. Tt was a force, this singing, and it helped the wobblies fight and grow. The organization today is only a shadow of ffs former glory; it perished like some prehistoric animal because it could not adapt itself to a new world. It is the most striking example I know, of how a bad basis of theory cah destroy a workers’ movement. Yet, in its time, the wobblies played a great part in American labor history, even though today they are just another little sect that fights the Soviet Union, Joe Hill, their maker of songs, will never be forgotten. He led the life of a worker, and it was out of this life he wrofe, freshly and realistically. It isn’t as easy as it looks to write a good workers’ song. But Joe Hill rang the bell each time. He had wit and force, and he never went “literary.” When the bankers and bosses of Utah framed-up on him and shot their bullets into the mighty heart of Joe Hill, they killed America’s first proletarian poet. In any anthology of the poetry of the American working class, Joe Hill, who wrote “Pie in the Sky,” and “Casey Jones,” and “Halle- lujah, I’m a Bum,” must surely be given a place of honor. . * * INE of the basic faults of the old Socialist and wobbly songs was that they were generally written to hymn tunes, This was also true of the workers’ songs in Europe. It is a mark of the theoretical advance of the workers’ movement that today the revolutionary musi- cians are trying to create a new kind of song, which will be #0 identified with the workers that nobody can take it from them. This theft has happened in Germany recently. The Nazis having failed to win the German working class to their horrible slave-state, have attempted every kind of demagogic lie. The Nazis are about as effective as a ham actor in this masquerade, and the workers see through them easily. The Nazis, after having destroyed all the trade unions and workers’ political parties, now want the workers to bélieve they are revolutionists and friends of the workers. What a bloody farce! ‘They have taken many of the familiar Communist songs, like “Young Guardsmen of the Proletariat,” and even the “International,” and written their own filthy Nazi words to them. Imagine a Hitler bawling his typical bestialities, “Death to the Jews, death to the workers!” to the tune of our “International!” And imagine the low order of Nazi mind that can think the workers can be fooled by such tactics, and can be made to forget and forgive the unspeakable crime that has been done them! The Nazis have the low cunning of a shyster lawyer. Such people thrive for a day, but always lose in the end. The slimy worm does not conquer the eagle. Every gangster has his day, and his death, In the transition periods of history, this type of adven- turer always appears, and then is crushed like a noxious bug under the marching feet of the masses. The day is not distant when the German working class will arrest this same Hitler and his leutenants, and bring them before the bar of justice. Treason, murder and corruption will be the main charge; and among the lesser ones will be this befouling of the song that workers sing all over the world, the song that unites them above race and nation, creed and color, the International! . * . American Songs COME back to our American songs: It is gratifying to note that some of our revolutionary musicians have already begun their experiments in creating a new proletarian style. One of the best songs I have heard, is the one on Scottsboro, “They Shall Not Die.” I don’t know it’s author’s name, but it has a new, strong and original quality that takes it a million miles away from the sentimental old hymn tunes. 5 Hans Eisler of Germany, who wrote the music for the song, “Comintern,” and the “Red Wedding” song, has been the pioneer in the new proletarian style. Some of our young American composers have learned valuable lessons from him, as is evidenced in this thrilling song on Scottsboro, The nearest thing we've had to Joe Hill's kind of folk-balladry has been from such southern mountaineer Communists as Aunt Molly Jackson and the martyred textile weaver, Ella Mae Wiggins. Detroit has also contributed a popular ballad, “The Soupline Song,” with words by Maurice Sugar. There are hundreds of such spontaneous songs being sung today by the militant workers in America. And writers like Langston Hughes are taking up the job where it was left off by Joe Hill. But we need our own new musical style. I venture to believe that a worker who has learned to sing the “Comintern” song has caught a new spirit from its rhythms, and has been affected politi- cally. Those who hear it are affected, too. These emotional facts are hard to put into logical words, but they exist just the same. ‘Yes, song is a force, and a political weapon of our time.

Davis. New York: International | Publishers. Price ee Reviewed by JOSEPH DALLET (Youngstown Dist. Sec., Steel and Metal Workers Industrial Union) * Here is the first book to tell the truth about the conditions of the steel workers, expose the huge profits of the Trust; show the con- nection between the steel trust and war, the close link-up between the banks, the Trust and the govern- ment, and in addition give an ex- cellent if brief history of organiza- tion and struggle in the industry from the Sons of Vulcan, 1859, to the strikes of 1933. Labor & Steel (sold in $1 and $2 editions) should be read by all who want a real pic- ture of the steel industry and is invaluable to those interested or in- volved in the organization of steel workers. tion to the fact that it gives a rounded picture, is the fact that the book is not just a series of state- ments, but is literally studded with quotations from workers, statistics, etc., which prove the points. Labor and Steel shows that N.RA. code wages are “lower in terms of purchasing power than the rates which had been in force from 1921- 31,” Contrary to the claims of the steel trust, 40 per cent of the steel workers get the labor rate. “Wages compared to value added by manu- facture DECLINED 10 percent from 1923-29," Davis says. Before any of the sweeping cuts of 1931 and 1932 the average wage FOR A FULL-WEEK'’S WORK was less than $25, Davis shows. In 1933 the whole industry was on part-time at near-starvation levels. But Davis slips into the error of advocating reductions in hours without point- ing out that, if not accompanied by Increases in hourly and tonnage rate, this means an actual cut in pay. Davis tells how the N.R.A. legal- ized discrimination against Negro steel workers through the wage “differential” under which the labor rate in the southern mills (where the majority of laborers are Negroes) “Labor and Ste ‘= ee Probably its best feature, in addi-| f is only 25¢ compared to 40c in the el” Penetrating Expose; — North. He points out that in south~- ern mills “even when the colored millwright’s helper is teaching the trade to a white worker, the white is called the millwright and receives millwright’s pay and is addressed as ‘boss’ by his. instructor.” And the infamous company store system, es- pecially prevalent in the South, puts white as well as Negro work- ers almost permanently in debt to the @rporations. The tremendous increase in mech- anization and speed-up is shown. Output per worker in blast furnaces increased 50 times from 1850 to 1925. Production per worker in the industry as a whole increased 184 per cent between 1889 and 1929. Mechanization improvements in sheet mills results in 20 workers equalling the output of 360 a few years ago. Just what the Steel Trust is and how it works is told in Chapter 8, including a history of how it was formed. “The founders of U. S. Steel of course violated the Sher- man Anti-Trust Act, but they weren't worried about jail sen- tences,.” we read. Why? Here Davis shows how one after another steel trust employee, official and stockholder held offices of U. S. At- torney-General, Secretary of State, Secretary of the Navy, etc. He neg- lected to add that big stockholders of U. S. Steel contributed heavily to the election of Franklin D. Roosevelt. a eer | NY ecaegealss into the complicated fi- nancial statements of the Steel Trust, Labor and Steel analyses what they really mean and finds that from 1901-31 every employee of U.S. Steel made $12 per week profit for the stockholders. The fabulous profits in war-times are shown, company by company, as well as the connections of the steel trust with war propaganda. How even during the crisis, while laying off and starving workers, all major steel companies continued to pay their bondholders and many also paid stock dividends is shown. Also the fact that in 1932 U. 8. Steel Directors paid themselves $100 for attending short director's meet- ings (where they voted to cut wages of the workers), ‘The history of organization in the industry from 1876 to 1930 is laregly a history of the rise and fall of the A.A. But Davis deals with the Sons of Vulean in 1859, the Knights of Labor too. He tells of the great | Homestead strike of 1892 where the steel workers defeated and took prisoners 300 armed Pinkerton de- | tectives. But he fails to mention |that, had not the State of Penn- sylvania sent in thousands of state troops, the strikers would have won. The traditional attitude of the leadership of the Amalgamated As- sociation towards the Negro worker 1s brought in in telling how vhe A.A, refused to organize the Repub- lic mill in Birmingham “because there are too many Negroes there” and the same year (1906) the A.A. demanded that a Birmingham miil “discharge all the niggers” as a condition for the calling off of the strike. And Davis shows how the AA.’s refusal to protect the un- skilled and semi-skilled workers hampered the growth of the union into the power it could have been, A detailed account is given of the heroic 1919 steel strike. Davis states: “The writer has satisfied himself by personal interviews with two of- fiuals of the A.A. (Tigue aud D. J. Davis) that neithe: put his fui viforts into winning the strike, that neither expected it to succeeed, and that both had fimly made up their minds before the stcike that they would organize the pants of U. S. Steel only if they were literally forced into it. The A. A. officials took an open sabotaging stand against the strike. They withheld necessary financial assistance ‘in spite of the fact that the A.A. Shows Need of Militant Struggle | treasury gained over $2,000,000 from | the strike—J.D.) and made an open | bid to Gary for a separate agree- | mert and settlement on tie eve of | the strike.” | Par tae ET the conclusions Davis draws on the strike are weak. He ate tributes the failure “to the weakness and timidity of the A. F. of 1.| leadership” instead of stating plain- | ly and truly the facts that it was} the deliberate sabotage of not only} Tighe and Davis~but also of Gom- | pers and the heads of the other) International Unions that helped | the steel trust to break the strike. | From 1921-32 the A. A. permitted itself to be driven out of 14 mills without putting up any real fight (except that put up by the local) lodges involved). The book concludes with a sum- | mary of the program and activities | of the Steel and Metal Workers In- dustrial Union and winds up, “Of the two (the A. A. and the S. M. W./ I. U.) the 8S, M. W. I. U. is, in spite of its youth, the better fitted | by policy, structure and personnel to| |lead the steel workers in their | struggles.” Here we have given an outline of Labor and Steel and stressed its many positive features. On the whole the book is a good job, certainly the best yet done on the subject. It is a good addition to the Labor and Industry series put out by International Publishers under the direction of Labor Re- search Associates. It should be read by every steel worker who can possibly get hold of it and by all others who want to learn more about the industry. 3 Soviet Films TONIGHT 1, Pavlov’s Mechanics of the Brain (Complete Version) 2.
