UNEMPL OYMENT.

GERMAN CITIES
Close Down Rolling
Mills in Ruhr

BERLIN, Dec 17.-On November
1 the government was giving unem-
ployment doles to a total of 1872, 1907
and by Nov. Is this number had risen
to All 900, an increase of 13S,O93,
about 30 per cent. While figures for
the end of November are not yet a.
valuable, it is reliably estimated that
by that time no less than 100000 peo-
pie were being assisted by the govern
ment. Unemployment in part time
also increased considerably.
Close Down Ruhr Mills
Short time work is steadily in
creasing in the glass and porcelain
industries. This is also true of the
metal industry and the engineering
trades, including the manufacture of
automobiles, motorcycles, sewing ma
chimes and similar products. Many
workers have been discharged from
the rolling mills and glass furnaces
in the Ruhr and in Westphalia, while
employment in coal and other lines
also fell off during the month, with
the exception of the brown coal in
dustry Of Saxony where there was
some demand for skilled workmen.
Conditions remain the same in the
iewelry and watch industry in the
Rhineland. Even in the chemical in
dustry a number of workmen have
been thrown out of work
The sugar beet harvest created a
slight demand for agricultural work

The average wage in the building

ing and railway branches is now "A
percent above the 1913 average for
skilled workers and 5S.3 per cent
above it for unskilled workers. Al
tho the wage indexes would make it
appear that the purchasing power Of
German labor was practically the
same as in 1918, this impression is
not correct In reality, the general
standard of living of German labor is
below prewar.

Workers (Comrnunlstl Party.

THE outcome of the Finnish Section
4 convention was a welcome sur
prise to every supporter of our party.
The enemies of our party had looked
to the Finnish convention for a split
which would bring disorganization in
to the ranks Of the party. But in place
of a split OF even bitter factional
struggle the convention took unani-
nous stand in support of the central
executive committee and the Com
munist International.
Many comrades, even those who are
loyal supporters Of the present line Of
the party and its leadership are not
clear as to how this victory for the
party was achieved. The Finnish Sec
ton of the party had been from all
appearances on the extreme right of
the party. Due to its many years Of
development as a language section,
its many institutions, newspapers,
halls, co-operatives, ETC., the party re-
organization, now being carried thru
energetically, is a greater shock to the
Finnish Section than to any other sec
ton Of the party. The fact that the
Finnish comrades while carrying on
good and effective work among the
Finnish workers, had not been drawn
into the general work of the party,
was another obstacle in carrying thru
tns reorganization.
Also there appeared before the
party convention. signs of the devel-
opment of an extreme right wing OPP

the Comintern and against the reor-
ganization of the Finnish Section

Forces for Unity.

A STRONG factor in securing the
4 unification of the convention for
the party and the Comintern was the
need to show united front against
the social-democratic Cand syndicalist
elements, both of which had been
looking forward to the convention in
gleeful expectation that it would re-
suit in a split out of which they could
gain profit.
The Finnish comrades also were
strongly inclined to the view that it
was their duty to take a stand for the
party as represented by the central
executive committee against any fac
ton or group which was carrying on
struggle against the party and the
central executive committee.
Some of the leaders of the Finnish
Section, who had supported the Foster
group in the party prior to the nation
al convention, thought that there was
no danger of right wing deviation and
opposition to reorganization in the
OCCbAOD. w nCn bnAo udhBCA
developed in a menacing form they
realized their error. This development
was analogous to the development OF
the Cannon-Dunne group within the
Foster group in the party generally
These Finnish comrades saw in the
Minneapolis resolution threat
against the party and Comintern and
found that there was a stronger
Loraist sentiment in the Finnish Sec
ton than they had reckoned with
They were unwilling under such cir
cumstances to continue in position
of opposition, thru which they would
encourage and strengthen this oppor'
tunistic Lore sentiment and therefore
took their stand with those comrades
who we're energetically supporting the
central executive committee and the
Comintern, in order to create united
front against this right danger.
