LONDON, Dec. 2O.-The Albanian
minister to London sounds the alarm
of new world war in a statement
today accusing Serbia of instigating
the rebellion in Albania.
Unless some great power intervenes

gression on the part of Serbia against
Albania to annex Albania"
The Jugo-Slav legation quite natural
ly denies the charge of Serbian ag-
gression. The only apparent deterrent
to new and horrible war appears to
be the fear among the great powers of
revolution from their own working
classes.
From Belgrade reports are that the
Albanian rebels have followed their
success at Kruya with occupation Of all

MOSCOW Scene
OF CONGRESSES,
SHOW PROGRESS
Union Membership Has
100000 Increase
nv ANlsE.

by ANlSEs
Federated Press STAFF correspondent.)
MOScOW.-SeVeral trade un-
ion congresses have been going
on during the past month and a
half in Moscow.
Most significant was the ALI
Russian Congress of Trade UNI
ions, with the British fraternal
delegates present.
The sixth Moscow state congress of
trade unions showed an increase of
almost 100000 members during the
past year, from sos to 900,09S. OF
these 725,232 are working under col
lective agreements. Wages from Oc-
tober. 1923. to June, 1924. increased
is per cent In some unions they are
now higher than pre-war. This means
real wages. not merely money wages,
for the unions keep their tables in fig
ures based on living costs.
Special attention has been paid to
educational activities. In the summer
large numbers Of physical culture,
sport and radio circles were organic
ed. The Moscow unions also estab-
Ished their own publishing house dur
ing the past year.
The Moscow state congress Of edu-
cational workers was attended by 500
delegates, mostly rural teachers. Their
resolutions showed the, move Of the
village workers during the past year
towards ommunis m. Especially
marked were the unfriendly relations
between the district organizations and
religious" teachers. The congress
passed a resolution that teachers with
religious beliefs should not teach.
Land and forest workers of the state
Of Moscow also held their annual con-
gress with 800 delegates. This union
has $4,000 workers in Moscow district.
Since one-third Of them are illiterate
they are maintaining 12S courses for
beginners and 165 schools for the half
literate. They received fraternal greet
ings from the United Federation of
Land and Forest Workers of France,
and elected its secretary an honorary
member.
