Machinists' Union, Local No. 81, Chi
cago, resolutions were adopted de-
nouncing the syndicalism laws being

the Central Executive Committee Of
the Workers (Communist) Party, and
Anita Whitney, the latest victims Of
the state syndicalism laws, and placed
themselves on record supporting the
international Labor Defense in its

RUSSIAN LABOR
Issues Statement After
Tour of Republic
fcontinued from nage u

it is the Soviets in whose hands the
whole of industry, transport, the banks
and foreign commerce lie, and thru
them the working class which occupies
the most influential position. For
private capital there is only small pro-
duction and commerce left. And even
here the Soviet power is forcing it
out Of existence by supporting the CO.
operatives.
1.-THE efforts Of the Soviet power are
chiefly directed to the reconstruction
and the completion of industry and
all other branches of economy. In
this the Soviet power has met with
great difficulties above all in con-
sequence of the dominance of agri-
culture and its backwardness and by
the fact that the industry left behind
by capitalism was deteriorated and in
part destroyed by the imperialist and
the civil wars. The Russian workers
understand these difIiculties and work
in an unseIfiish manner for the con-
struction of a peoples economy. Old
factories are concentrated and mod
ernized, and at the same time new
factories are being built. An immense
identification plan is being put into
operation and the whole peoples
economy is led as one state whole.
Boom Benefits Workers.
whilst in the years 1920-21 de-
generation of industry was observed,
the last four years have shown a
tremendous improvement which in
contradistinction to a capitalist boom
means actually a betterment in the
situation OF the working class, an in
crease in wages, the building of work
ers' sanatoriums, children's homes,
clubs, etc. In capitalist countries
economic construction proceeds at
the cost of the workers, their wages
and their social gains.
Decisive and exact figures show that
in 1926, 100000 new workers will be
engaged in the Soviet shops. And
with this the unemployment will fall.
The unemployment support on the
part of the state is incomparably
higher in Russia than in any of the
capitalist countries. The Soviet econ
omy is not yet completely socialist,
altho various branches have achieved
forms very closely socialist. Seen as
a whole, the Soviet economy is a
transition period to pure and sys-
tematized socialist economy.
Prevent Intervention.
IF the international working class,
conscious of its proletarian duty,
prevents an intervention against the
Soviet Union by force of arms, and
the construction of the economic rela-
tions between the various Soviet re-
publics proceeds, then the realiza-
ton of a socialist economy will be
speeded up. Already the Russian pro-
letariat is class conscious enough to
prevent any return to capitalist econ
omic forms.
Russian Trade Unions.
"The Russian trade unions are not
merely organizations for the protec-
ton of the interests of the workers
and for the betterment of their stand
ard of life, they are at the same time
decisive partners in the economic and
political life of Russia, in the making

ment OF commerce. According TO the
department, important Polish cotton
mills are reducing operations to three
days or less per week. This is not
due to lack.of demand but to lack of
operating capital in a country where
employer dictatorship is openly sus-
tanned by foreign capital.
The situation is considerably worse
in the Polish wooden industry. This is
shown by the department in the fol-
lowing figures covering operations in
the Bialystok district, where a once
furnishing industry making broad
clothrovercoatings, military cloth and
heavy blankets was concentrated:

PEKING.T TEACHERS
OPPOSE FOREIGN
RULE OF CHINA
Demand Abolition of
Unequal Treaties

PICKING, Dec. 2.-Professors and
educators Of the Picking universities
and of other educational establish
ments have organized Tariff Auton-
omy League for the purpose of
strengthening the stand of the gov
eminent at the tariff conference in
favor Of tariff autonomy. The fact
that these professors represent mod.
crate opinion indicates the strength
of the demand for tariff autonomy.
Recently the league gave a recep-
ton for journalists in order to ex.
plain to them the attitude Of educat-
ors to the tariff question and to learn
the opinion of the journalists. Wang
Chung-Hui, a noted jurist and mem
Der of The s5ague International tri-
bunal recently returned from The
Hague to China, opened the meeting.
There was q strong note in all the
speeches demanding tariff autonomy
Internationally not as favor, but as
the inviolabie right Of the Chinese
people.
Prepared to Fight.
The chairman, Leang Chandcha, a
dean at the. Picking Normal Univers.
ity questioned, the sincerity Of the
great powers, particularly Of Great
Britain, Japan and America, because
their proposals are not in accord with
their declarations Of willingness to
recognize the tariff autonomy OF
China. The speaker declared that
the Chinese people were prepared to
fight for tariff autonomy and were
prepared to make any sacrifice neces-
sary. They refuse to tolerate further
distractions in the way OF the real
ization Of China's just aspirations.
Wang Chung-Hui declared that the
special privileges Of the foreigners in
China were damaging to the interests
Of the country. Unequal treaties are
obsolete. The speaker quoted article
XIX of the league of nations coven.
ant which says that unequal and map.
plicable treaties must be revised. The
recent demonstrations were an expires
sion of the. innermost feelings of the
Chinese people and it would be a pity
if the tariff conference results In new
difficulties or an intensihcation of the
old ones.
Professor Tsao. head of the Ching
wa college said that the diplomats
recognized tariff autonomy in prin
ciple as they had recognized Wilson's
IA points, bnte the problems of tbs
last war are still unsettled. In the
meanwhile 40Qo0O,OOO people remain

The prominent economist, Professor
Mayulin, deelaFed that the abolition

question of tariff autonomy. The Chi

Gauss 1t affectsI Chinese merchants and
not foreigners and it can only be abol
ished when tariff autonomy has been
obtained. It's abolition can therefore
not be made a condition for granting
the tariff autonomy. The speaker
threatened that If the powers refused
to grant traiff autonomy to China then
the likien would be made to affect
not only Chinese merchants but for
eign merchants also. All the other
professors spoke in the same strain.
