''Hand in hand with the general de-
cline n the membership Of the vari-
Gus Communist partise gees q decline
in the membership Of Communist
trade unions IN many Of these coun-
tries where these have an independent
existance. These countries include
Czechoslovaxia, Holland and France.
and the above remark is especially
applicable to northern France. At
the time Of the trade union spirit in
France, the Communist unions Of the
Department du NordP had 81 900
members; now, according to the re-
port submitted at the last Congress.
they had only 10000. (The member
ship Of the old trade unions has risen
in the same proportion.)
RED" Ranks Split
Zone Of the causes Of the decline is
undoubtedly the division within the
Communist ranks. As in Germany.
sectarianism and jealousy abound. In
Germany, indeed, the divisions have
gone so far that there may even be
said to be spirit among the splitters;
those leaders which have fallen into
disfavor in Moscow have now begun
the issue Of q publication of their
own (which was promptly banned by
the Orthodoxy and the trade unions
which are quarreling with Moscow are
now beginning to be known as Inde-
pendent Communists.
France would seem to be treading
the same road, judging from a recent
manifesto published by the National
Council of the Unitary or Communist
Trade Unions of France, in which
there are bitter complaints of the
anarchical and disruptive activities of
the minority, their attempts to secure
autonomy, and their recent threat to
withhold their contributions. The
Communist building workers of Sene-
et-Oise Department have just unani-
mously resolved to break off all con-
nections with the Unitary Trade I'm
ions.
Hard Shedding for Reds
another symptom Of the same mall
aday is the lamentatoin Of represent
alive of the trade union section, who,
speaking at a Communist congress in
Germany, complained of the many diff
ficulties now besetting Communist
trade union work. and said that Com
munist action in the trade unions was
'unsystematic and undisciplined. They
had great deal of trouble, he added,
with the Communist unions which
had broken away and established their
independence.
another delegate to the same Con-
ference was very anxious that some
thing no matter what should be done
to set the Communist movement on
its legs again; either concentration on
factory "cells" or a revival Of the
Works Councils agitation, or some
other device absolutely must be adopt
ed. lin France, too, there has been a
recent revival Of the agitation for fac
tory cells.)
Aim to Win Farmers
an Italy, the Communists have
given up hopes of winning over the
more advanced and class-conscious
workers, and they are therefor con-
centrating on land-workers and small
peasant proprietors. This is unfortu-
nately serious threat to the existance
of the bona fide land-workers' union,
which has naturally been one of the
chief sufferers from the Fascist ter

COMMUNIST UNIONS ON
DECLINE, REDS SPLIT UP

By International Labor News Service.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. 20
Communist trade unionism is waning,
reports the international Federation
Trade Unions from its headquarters
in Amsterdam, Holland. A recent
bulletin Of the Federation says:
Southwest Washington labor press. [volume] (Hoquiam, Wash.) 19??-19??, 1924-11-21

The workers Of Italy have evidently
had almost enough of Fascism and its
overload Premier Mussolini. They
realize that Fascist rule is not what
it Is cracked up to be and that they
must maintain and strengthen their
trade unions if they are to get a
square deal. AS a result they are re-
ported to be streaming back into the
trade unions, which many deserted in
the face of the Fascist campaign of
terror and bloOdshed.
Extreme reaction has apparently
run its course in Italy and the nation
is showing tendency to return to
the ideals Of democracy and freedom
The Fascist "Black Shirts" have ruled
with too high hand and have pro-
voked the inevitable change of heart
on the part Of the people"

lures and the designs exhibited is the
work of the students In the various

bit is OF great interest especially as
there IS little oppor unity to see
work Of this kind
There is considerable variety in the
pictures shown. They range from
water color pictures of paintings to
drawings and applied designs. Some
are pictures of people in quaint cos
tunes of Olden days; Of these, sew
eral are wearing costumes in vogue
at the French court of the seven
teenth century. The ladies are par
ticularly picturesque in their elabor-
ate gowns with extremely wide
skirts. Strongly contrasted with
those of the modern costume.
Several designs are pic. ures of
vases, pottery, or tableware, a Jap
anase design shows q vase and fan
in rich colors. Argo cornstarct fig
uTe is another.
The applied designs are very novel
showing what may be done with vari-
Gus colors of paper when it is skill
fully put together. Some designs are
in ricate geOmetric figures in colors
which contrast sharply with the back
ground. The drawings in black anC
white are fully as effective as the
