At The Theatres Dominion The Joe Louis-Max Schmeline fight pictures will reach Wancouyer noon on Monday, June 22, and will be shown on the screen durin= all next week at the Dominion Theatre. This In addition to their reeular pro- gram which includes Richard Dix in “Devil's Squadron,’ and ‘Panic in the Air,” mystery melodrama based on the adventures of a Winehellesque news brosudcaster, featurins: Lew Ayres, Florence Rice, 3enny Baker and other talented artists. Of unusual interest, the Sereen play deals with the adven- tures of Ayres in his attempts to Solve one of the bigsest mysteries of the day and the consequences Which occur whn he becomes inti- mately involved in the affair. However, the interest in the Louis-Sechmeling fight over-shadows the regular programme, and regard- less of the outcome of this fight, many thousands of fans, who follow the careers of these two giants, will take advantage of this opportunity to) see the fight pictures. Beacon “Chapayev,” “Youth of Maxim” and now “Peasants,” third and last of the great triumvirate of films that split first prize at the world film festival held recently in Mos- cow. “Peasants,” like its two famous predecessors, continues superbly the new period of the Soviet film ushered in with the second Five Year Plan; the new orientation, Which Hisenstein points * out “in- corporates all ithe previous achieye- ments and puts them entirely at the disposal of millions of humanity.” . . The remarkable thine about “Peasants” is its peasants; and Since liberated by the Revolution, they are like no other peasants on earth. They are the picture. They are the heroes and the landscape. The story of “Peasants” is packed with action. It centers around the nefarious activities of a former Kulak who rooted himself in the collective to wreck it; resolves itself into the tragedy that ensues when he finds himself defeated at every tur by the will of the peasants, under the direction of the head of the District Political Bureau; and ends in the triumph of the peasants after ihe enemy has been -van- quished. The treatment of the kulak ele- ments is the same as that accorded the white guards in ‘“‘Chapayey,” rendered with conviction, tempered with insight. The meeting of the Tulak and his mother who accuses him of having sold out to the Reds, is one of the finest bits in the picture. The scenes—first tender- mess, then violence—between the isulak and his innocent wife, the wild night ride, the stirring funeral oration, the stormy meetings of the peasants, the dumpling episode, the beard-cutting incident in the Turk- ish bath, the dream of the Kulak’s Wife wherein a cartoon is exposed of Stalin congratulating her on the birth of a son, these are outstand- ing in the picture. The playing of Viadimir Gardin, as Anisim, the village elder, is a delicht. Poslavsky and Bogolyuboyv contribute excellent performances. The entire cast is a credit to the genius of the director. Globe “Chapayev,” the Red Commander, will make its third appearance in Vancouver, when it shows at the Globe Theatre for days, com- mencine June —. This great Soviet film always draws packed houses, and this will afford an opportunity to many workers, who have missed its first and second Showing, to see it. Also there will be many who will see it a second time. Royal Will Rogers in “Doubting Thom- as,” will be a feature picture at the Royal Theatre today and to- Morrow. Other pictures appearing next week will be “The Man They ALWAYS OPEN | BAY. 9274 | Private Baths, 50c SSS a ES TRUCK DRIVERS SHOULD UNITE ‘Public Carriers Act’ De- signed to Tighten Rail Monopoly Editor, B.C. Workers’ News: The following obsetvations on the trucking business are written by a truck owner in a small way of busi- ness. The writer feels that the au- thorities, having issued him a license to operate his truck, have no constitutional right to hold him up for a further fee in the middle of the Season, especially in® view of the fact that he is bound'to be forced on relief if he is prevented from oper- ating for lack of funds. For three years now we have viewed the attempts) of the provin= cial government to enforce the Pro- Vineial Carriers’ Act, or rather a Series of them. So fair the net result seems to have been 4 loss of face on the part of the government and ruffled tempers on the. part of the truck owners. The present laws are aimed at curtailing truck service in aid of the railroads. This is just rank reaction. Must we also curtail the railroads in favor of horse’ drawn traffic; steamships in favor of sail, and so on? Wo, we cannot go back. Under a Sane system the day of the rail- read is far from done. The railroads are burdened with parasitical debt which has been paid many times over, If they are to be kept run- ning, this debt must be outlawed. The answer of the railroads to truck competition is more and _ better Industrial Organization is Solution it is perfectly true that under the profits system the whole situation is well nigh hopeless, but the present evils could be mitigated to a certain extent if the trucking business were organized on an ‘Industrial union basis. Under the present chaotic con- ditions overloading of trucks is an accepted fact. The average driver of a two-ton truck thinks nothing of piling on 5 or 6 tons. He does not do this because he likes it, but because he must, to meet Competi- tion. Is it any wonder that there ap- pears to be a glut of trucks on the roads? Not Too Many Tracks? Trucking organized on an indus- trial union basis would be to a large extent self=policing. Overloading and overworkine of drivers would not be tolerated. Price cutting would be eliminated, and work would be ap- portioned fairly, or the drivers would want to know the reason why. There need be no question of goug- ing the public because other meth= ods of transportation would be in competition. Would Boost Garages How does this strike the sarage industry? Would not a self resulat- ing truck business put a lot of idle trucks back on the roads? The present public Carriers’ Act is a measure to regulate the major- ity out of business in favor of a monopoly. This is diametrically op- posed to the principles of liberalism which we heard so much of before the last provincial and Dominion elections. A real people’s govern- ment would foster the organization of the broad masses and give police support to them against the minor- ity of non-co-operators, instead of as now, using the police to coerce the majority in the interests of the few.

Report Shows Lot Of Pauperized Mothers K Are Given $5 Grant for Last Four Months of Pregnancy One of the featured reports to the quarterly meeting of the Women’s Auxiliary to the General Hospital was on the out-patients department, So well known to our relief recipi- ents and others of the financially embarrassed section of our popula- tion. They do not call upon any of the patients, however, to express their yiews based on their experi- ences, but only upon the nurses and society women who attended the meeting. They reported investigation of home conditions of maternity cases but did not suggest any remedies for the chronic unemploy- ment Which gave rise to these ad- verse conditions. To quote from a local journal: “The women are in- formed of the $5 grant they are privileged to receive from the pro- vincial government for the last four months of pregnancy for the purpose of obtaining proper and sufficient nourishment.” Isn't that 4 gem? They did not mention the tremen- dous campaign of the Joint Com- mittee of the C.C.I*. and Provincial Workers’ council and its Victoria delegation which won this ‘‘privi- lege” of $5 extra food for ~- relief women bearing babies. Oh, no! And just add the $5 to the $3.85 food al- lowanece for women on relief. Does $3.55 per month adequately feed and nourish a woman and her unborn ehild? Mrs. Philip Mallens presided oyer the first sesison and Mrs. W. Wood- ward over the second. Mrs. Wood- ward had just returned from a trip to Europe that same morning. How busy these women must be—dashine off the train home from Europe to listen to reports on the miserable conditions under which our poor women bear their babies and raise their children! Among others present were Lady Lennard and Mrs. Hager whose wealth comes from the ex- ploitation ef our poorly paid fisher- men. We women shall have to see to it that the voices of the women actually affected by these things are heard in the future and not only rep- resentatives of our parasitical class. UNMARRIED PARENTS ORGANIZATION Yes, this is the name of a newly formed branch of the Matemity Out- Patients Department to deal with eases of unmarried fathers and mothers. Of course, under present Conditions the main problem affects the unmarried mother and her in- fant, so-called “‘illegitimate,’’ They Say the objective of this orfaniza- tion is to provide the best possible deal for the unmarrid parents and their children. This is a tall order to face under Capitalism because no really good deal is possible. Eeo- nomic conditions are the basis of this problem and it should be viewed from this angle rather than as a social] phenomenon. As long as poverty and unemployment prevent young people from marrying normal-— ly, and raising families under good conditions, this problem will con- tinue to exist and increase as at present. It can be said to the credit of most fair-minded people today that many people say “all babies Should be legitimate,” as they have no control over the circumstances under which they are born. Of course it is only in the Soviet Union where this is actually a fact. We think that the Mothers’ Council, the Women’s Labor League and other progressive women’s organizations should take a greater interest and responsibility than in the past in Such an organization as the Hospital WA. Its various branches of activity could then be made to function in the best interests of those people it is intended to serve. GENERAL SMEDLEY D. BUTLER ASKED TO FORM FASCIST ARMY Plan Was Exposed, So Bankers Financed _ ‘Black Legion’ DETROIT, Michigan, June 13.— (ALP)—Wall Street’s failure to ob- tain a leader for a proposed army of a half million men to establish a fascist dictatorship in the United States, was given by General Smed- ley D. Butler as the reason for Wall Street's exposed support of the Black Legion, now under investiga- tion here, according to Duncan GC. McCrea, Wayne County prosecutor in charge of the case. Butler was offered leadership of the proposed fascist army of half a million, which he was asked to or- ganize by Gerald MacGuire, secret agent for New York banking inter- ests. Butler exposed the plan before a Startled nation in 1934. Butler revealed to McCrea that he had strong suspicions that in spite of his bringing the plans of the Wall Street fascists to light, that the re- cently discovered Black Legion may be a direct outgrowth of the plans made by monied groups in-1934, who offered to put up $3,000,000 for Butler to organize the fascist army and establish a dictatorship. Following a long-distance tele- phone conversation with Butler Me- Crea said: “I have learned enough of the aims and objectives of the Black Legion to be convinced that the society was rapidly building the Strensth for a coup to establish a fascist dictatorship. I know that we have not begun to reach the higher- ups in the organization. I believe General Butler’s information may be important in tracking down the real backers of the Black Legion.’’ The retired General will go to Detroit in the latter part of June to confer with McCrea, it was learned.

Alaska Canners Establish 100% Union Conditions Will Not Pass Through Picket Lines or Work on Unfair Projects Im a recent issue of this paper we announced that the Alaska Cannery Workers’ Union, had completed suc- cessful negotiations with the pack- ers, and had signed an agreement. Below we gSive the clauses of the agreement. 1. A 100 per cent closed which includes all men, second foremen. 2. All men shall pass through the hiring hall. 8. Company agrees that no con- tractor or their agents will be used in any manner whatsoever. 4. The Union shall be the judge shop, first ane of the qualifications of all of its members. 5. An eight-hour day is estab- lished, as against the ten-hour day in Seattle. 6. No benefit which may have been enjoyed shall be taken away from the men as the result of the Signing of this agreement. 7. The company agrees that no member of the Union shall be re- quired to pass through any picket line, established by organized Jabor,. or to work at any time on projects which have been declared “‘unfair’ by organized labor. On the Steamer “Arctic,” prop- erty of the Alaska Packers’ Associ- ation, which sailed from this port on April 4, 1936, without benefit of the men passing through the hall, and consisting of 295 men, the agreemeit includes these men and by contractors at the rate of $50.00 per month. Taking into consideration the fact that this group of workers were never before organized and had been working under vile, de- grading and almost impossible conditions which amounted to peonage and slavery, the agreements Signed by all packin= companies in San Francisco, who are eng =) salmon canning industry, men little to be desired, besid ing down a good foundation for fur- ther and future activities.

Therefore, with the Wages, shorter hour increase of the Should amount to approximately $75,000.00—making a grand total in the neighborhood of $100,000.00, which the men will receive.
