Dirba. Two days later the Dies Committee heard a witness as outspoken and blunt as Witness Krivitsky was retiring. This was Maurice Malkin, 40-year-old naturalized Russian fur worker, charter member of the U. S. Communist Party, long a well-known figure in the allegedly Communist-dominated Fur Workers Union in Manhattan. Tossed into jail for two years after the incredible New York fur workers' strike of 1926,* Comrade Malkin nursed a grievance.

Fiene embodies some of the controlled but outspoken realism of the elder Breughel, sixteenth century Flemish master. In Breughel's work, we see the underlying and basic connection of man with nature. His men and women are integral parts of the landscape; humanity is just as deeply rooted in the earth as a massive rock or a tree. Fiene speaks much in the same manner. His men are on a par with the countryside which they inhabit. But his is a new kind of landscape, one bristling with cranes and pulleys, a valley of machines whose wheels seem...
