KUSBAS PLANT IS
WINNING, ADMITS
ENGINEERING ARTICLE

NEW YORK, Jan. o. The by
product coking plant which the au-
tonomous industrial colony in the
kuznetz Basin (Kusbas) in Gem
trial Siberia is operating has aroused
the attention Of the American en-
gineering world, as is shown by
display article in Chemical and Me-
talIuruicaI Engineering. The article
prepared by N. L. Kishor, formerly
shift superintendent and II. Kwelt,
formerly in charge Of the laboratory
at the coI<lng plant deals with its
unexampled difficulties Of rigorous
climate and lack Of native skilled
workers which It is overcoming. But
success is coming with the installa-
ton of modern equipment.
Forecasting great industrial fu-
ture for this region, so late a near
wilderness, the article ends:
"And when one considers the ire
mendous reserves of coal and iron
ore in the Kuznetz Basin, he can
have no doubt that the Kemerovo
plant is only one Of the greatest
metaIIurecal and chemical centers
of the world"

CAL TRIES TO
KILL The POSTAL
PAY RAISE BILL
Substitute Bill Buried
Under Amendments

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 2S.-The
Coolidge senators are trying to kill the
bill proposing to raise the pay Of postal
employees. by introducing flood of
amendments. With only month to
go before the end of congress, Coolidge
is trying to stave off a vote on the
postal bill, and thus deprive the postal
employees Of their salary increase.
The Moses postal bill, which is
Coolidge substitute for the original pay
raise bill, vetoed by Coolidge, was
denounced in the senate today by
Hiram Johnson of California. ut is
fraud and sham, said Johnson.
Every senator knows that it is a
debunking process and will not raise
sufficient revenues to meet the costs
OF increased pay for postal employees"
Some of the amendments introduced
were the Butler amendment, giving
religious publication preferential
postal rate over daily newspapers.
Senator Harreld also offered an
amendment providing that all religious
publications should enjoy preferential
rate except those paying their editors
"a yearly salary Of more than $4,000.
The Moses bill increases the pay of
postal employees, but also increases
postal rates in such a way that many
senators declare they cannot be put
.into effect.

RUSSIAN ART LINEN
AND HAND EMBROIDERY
At DEFENSE BAZAAR

NEW YORK, Jan. pa ship
ment Of exquisite hand-woven linen
and embroidery has been received
from Soviet Russia for the joint .ba-
zaar. These articles from that "bar-
barous" country reveal the high
stage Of artistic talent which the
Russian peasant has reached.
One must have seen the peasants
in their homes where they weave
this wonderful stuff and embroider
Il, to appreciate the love and enthus-
iasm that they put into every article
Into every stitch. Old men and
women, middIe-aged men and wo-
men and even young girls turn the
wheel and weave the cloth. And
then the artful manner in which
they apply the needle, and the
beautiful eoIored thread that they
pass thru the linen in most wonder
full designs--all indicates the art
that the Russian peasant possesses.
These linens comprise articles Of
great variety. There are bags, table,
covers, napkins, sashes, blouses,
eenter-pleoes, etc. The prices will
be far lower than those charged by
the department stores.
These articles will be at the

Jessica Smith Talks
At West Side Branch
On Russian Progress

NEW YORK, Jan. 2S.--Graphically
describing the present conditions and
the rapid progress the first workers
republic is making in industry and
agriculture and education, Jessica
Smith, recently returned from a stay
of three years in Russia, drew volleys
of applause from two hundred listen
ers gathered at the headquarters of
the West Side branch of the Workers
Party.
The lecturer described the improve
ment in the industries. She showed
how the peasants are constantly in
creasing their crop area by adopting
as fast as possible more modern
methods and by introducing machine
ry shipped them by advanced coun-
tries.
OF the 120, 1000 900 farmers in Russia,
the speaker said, only small number
have any conception of farm machine
ry such as is now generally used in
America. At first they are sceptic,
but on seeing the value Of modern
machinery learn marvellously fast to
operate and to become expert at their
new methods.
The vehicle Of education of both
common schools and at the universe
ties, said the lecturer, was practical
studies in agriculture and industry,
so that when student went out into
real life he went into the field where
his studies had already made him at
home. Students are given stipend
on which they can live while at school.
Thus the Soviet government is caring
for the future expert managers and
workers while they are preparing for
their tasks in the big work of the
country.

TRAITORS BETRAY
EACH OTHER IN
SOCIALIST RANKS
Abramovich's Pals All
Excel Each Other
By Max Hedaoht

A report reaches here from Vienna
that the executive committee of the
Second International has appointed a
grievance committee to sit in judg-
ment about the fight between the So
cial-democratic leaders Of Hungary in
immigration in Vienna since the fall
Of the Hungarian Soviet Republic, and
the social democratic leaders OF Hung
airy in Hungary.
The Immigrant group in Vienna
feels that it is being mistreated. It's
members were caught in the storm Of
the Hungarian revolution in 1919. The
tide of the proletarian revolt had risen
high. The socialdemocrats of Hunga-
ry felt that it was impossible to stem
the tide. They would have been crush
ed in the attempt. So they decided
to play the role Of Judas within the
movement. ~
consplred With Bloody Horthy.
A working agreement was entered
into with the Communists. But sec
reilly the social-democrats conspired
with the counter-revolutiona forces
OF Hungary, with the emissaries OF
allied capital and with the military
leaders of Roumania, Poland and
Czecho-Slovakia. Their treachery sue
ceeded. The Soviets of Hungary were
crushed.
The Hungarian social-democrats ex-
pected their reward But their fate
was different from that of their Ger
man prototypes. Victorious reaction
in Hungary felt so strong that it did
not need the services of the traitors.
So the reward for their treacherous
services was not a government posi-
ton but swift kick which landed
these social-democrats in Vienna as
emigrants lodging persecution by
their erstwhile allies of the Hungarian
revolution.
This was Disappointment No. 1; but
they were in for more.
In Vienna these social-democrats did
not feel at home. They we're on TO-
reign ground. Betraying workers in
grand style is only possible when one
has workers to betray. In Vienna
that job was performed by the native
socialdemocrats. No wonder, there
fore, that these exiles longed to be
back in Hungary.
Disappointment Number Two.
To get back they had to rely on
their fortunate social democratic
brother leaders who could remain in
Hungary. But here disappointment
nit them. The social-democrats of
Hungary, instead of combining their
betrayals to the workers of Hungary
also betrayed their brother leaders in
Vienna. They made an agreement
with the Horthy government to sup
port all its policies; and general am
nesty did not happen to be one of
Horthy's policies.
Traitors Three Ring Circus
Now the traitors of Vienna appeal
against the traitors of Budapest to the
traitors OF Amsterdam. And the
grievance committee appointed by the
executive committee of the Second
International is the result. The Com
mittee is composed of Tom Shaw for
England. Karl Kautsky for Germany,
Otto Bauer for Austria, and De
Brouker for Holland
Sinee the stage is all set the comedy
can begin. It will be one that would
even astonish Machiavelli in his-cyn-
ical deceptiveness.
