Through virtually three decades, no

Eleven years ago, the F. B. Stearns
Company recognized, in the then
relatively unknown Knight sleeve

mendous import in the development
of the automobile. Following an
exhaustive study and test of the
practicabihty Of the sleeve>valve
motor principle, it was the first
American company to adopt it.
The good name for quality. and

Stearns car has achieved through
its long and honorable career is a
matter of public record. This, per-

Experts Advise That
Receiver Take Over
Chicago Surface Lines

The experts who are advising the
surface lines in the present traction
middle will turn down the city's sug-
gestion of six months extension Of
the present franchise, which expires
Jan. 81. They say that they cannot
legally negotiate with the city and
that receivership must be asked of
the federal court before the franchise
expires, on which date also $165,O0O
600 in bonds fall due.
Such move, it is pointed out, will
prevent the city from turning the
streets over to others. In the opinion
of F. ]. Lisman, New York banker,
who has submitted plan for re.
financing the lines, this move will
prove hazardous to the bondholders,
THE default in principal would be the
largest that ever occurred in the
United States" he said.
BY this move, too, the city will lose
the benefit of all previous negotia-
tons, tho 1t can petition the court
for protection during the receivership.
The car lines will then be operated
under the direction of the court.

WORKERS DON'T STICK TO BAD
JOBS TURNOVER FIGURES SHOW
By LELAND oLps, Federated Pr

BY LELAND oLDs, Federated Press.
Low wages, long hours and feudal
working conditions in the south tend
to saddle its textile mills with ex-
cesSive and expensive labor turnover
This Is shown in a U. S. department
of labor bulletin on lost time and labor
turnover in Is cotton mills. Accord.
ing to the bulletin. the turnover rate
in nine southern mills averaged 1S9. 5
per cent, or twice the 94.9 per cent
average of nine mills in the north.
The labor turnover rate shows the
number of new workers a mill must
hire in year to keep up its regular
working force. A 100 per cent turn
over means that workers are leaving
the job so rapidly that the mill must
hire 1000 new workers a year for
each 1000 employed; that is, must
replace the equivalent of the entire
body of workers.
Costs Money.
The constant breaking in of new
workers costs money-estimated by
experts to range from SIS to $500 per
worker, according to the job. This
includes not only the direct cost of
hiring and training the worker, but
also the indirect costs, since workers
who are constantly shifting are inef-
ficient and liable to accidents A 100
per cent labor turnover in a mill en-
ploying 1000 operatives might well
cost more than $4,000.
The report shows that mills work
ing 81 hours or less per week had a
labor turnover of SO per cent. Those
with S. hours or more showed an av-
erage turnover of 179, per cent, nearly
twice the figure for mills working the
shorter hours.

Report of ZinoUieu's Speech

IN the evening session of Dec. s,
L Gregory zinoviev, former chairman
of the Comintern and leader of the
opposition, took part in the debate on

ton. He admitted the crucial diverg-
ence Of views on the question of So
cialist construction in one country.
Zinoviey asserted that the execu-
tive Of the Comintern's draft program
does not contain a single point pro-
viding for the feasibility Of the theory
Of socialism in one country. He cited
Marx and Engels in an attempt to
prove the law of the irregular devel-
opment OF capitalism, which was well
known to Marx and Engels, and pre-
Guided the possibility of the victosy
Of the proletarian revolution in one
country alone, altho Zinoviev admitted

Cites Lenin.
He declared that Lenin entirely
shared Marks and Engels' view. He
cited Lenin as saying that while the
Soviet Republic stood alone in the
capitalist world enlightenment that 1t
would be utopian to believe that it
is possible to achieve full economic
independence.
Zinoviev, often interrupted in his
speech by his opponents remarks,
continued to cite Lenin and tried TO
prove that Lenin in 1915 and again in
1917 after February, propounded the
idea that the proletariat can sieze
political power In a backward coun-
try, but cannot achieve the full eco
nomic victory OF the revolution.
Zinoviev protested against the af-
irmation that Lenin taught the theory
that the victory OF the revolution was
possible in one country alone.

The speaker further attempted to
refute the charge that the opposition

When President Magnus w. Alexan,

while the department of labor figured

Trotsky ManuilslSy said, recognized
his mistakes with regard to Lenin,
but failed to recognize his errors in
respect to the party and the Comm
tern. The party's development from
the beginning Of the revolution went
thru three states: First, on the eve
Of October, when the problem was one
of seizing power in backward coun-
try. Second, the period OF war com
munism when the main problem was
that of keeping power and whether
the proletariat of other countries
could prevent imperialist Intervention.
Third, from-the new economic policy
until today, when the fundamental
problem is the building Of socialism.
LenIn's Advice.
In each stage Lenin advanced the
main point: alliance with the peas
antry assures victory. The social
democrats always asserted we cannot
achieve our tasks; elements within
our own party constantly share the
social-democratic drift. Trotsky hope
lessly mixes up these three stages.
Manuilsky, emphasizing that the
question of socialist construction is
an international and not only a Rus
sian problem, pointed out that the
socia1-democrats in Germany in 1929
and in Italy in 1920 discouraged the
workers and alleged that a revolution
in one country was impossible. We
must say the contrary: the revolution
in separate countries is possible even
now, as witness the rising in Esthonia
last year.
Trotsky, he went on, considers the
Soviet Union still part of world capt.
talism. We must theoretically oppose
such view because of its dangerous
differences. In conclusion, Manuilsky
pointed out that the social-democratlc
press (Lehvi, Germany, Arbeiter lei
tung, Australia, etc. is wholeheart-
eddy backing the Russian opposition.
The Comintern, he declared, must deal
with the opposition according to it's
merits.
Neumann speaks.
Neumann Germany pointed out
that Trotsky has not renounced .Trot-
skyism, particularly the theory of the
permanent revolution" Zinoviev has
entirely joined with Trotskyism. The
opposition, seeking to minimize impe-
rialist conflicting interests, reverts to-
wards Kautskyism and the views Of
the social-democracy. Trotsky, he
said, not only denies the building of
socialism but even the possibility Of
the progress of Soviet economy.
The big mistake of the opposition,
Neumann declared, is the view that
| the Soviet Union is an isolated coun-
try and part of the capitalist economy.
While Trotsky stresses the "isola-
ton" of the Soviet Union he over
estimates the influence of imperialism
and underestimate the strength of
the International proletariat. Trot-
sky's fundamental mistake is a lack
of faith in the prospects of the social
list revolution in the U. S. S. r. and
other countries.
The Comintern, said Neumann,
must rally the Communist Party of
the Soviet Union, the most revolution
airy and international party in the
world, to defeat the block of the Rus
sian and foreign oppositions and CON-
pletely liquidate them ideologically.

out that this was true numerically in
regard to colonial and semi-colonial
countries. which must hope for eman-
cipation only after the revolution in
two or three chief imperialistg states.
The relations between the workers
and peasants can be properly consid-
cred only after the overthrow of the
bourgeois in the principal countries of
the world. We must remember, Zinc
view went on. the fact that world
heavy industry and technique is still
sufficiently strong to win the peasants
and that the majority are not always
indispensable to the victory Of the
revolution.
other Charges.
Zinoviev briefly reviewed the other
charges against the opposition. He
kdeclared that the opposition's atti-
tude towards the social-democrats was
unchanged, that the opposition still
believes the stronger official social
democracies the worst enemies OF the
proletariat. He said that the opposi-
ton, pointing out the growth of the
power of the peasants and the new
bourgeoisie and the degeneration of
the Communist Party signalled dan
gerous tendencies and not accom-
plished facts.
zinoviev alleged that the Comm
terms policies against the lefts were
too drastic and against the rights
too lenient. He asserted that he had
nothing in common with Souvarine's
views.
He declared that the charge of SYM
oathy for the idea OF two parties In
the Soviet Union was unfounded. On
the question OF unity and fractional
opposition they had recognized their
own mistakes and warned their fol.
lowers TO abandon fractionalism. The
unity OF the Communist Party OF the
Soviet Union must be maintained, he
declared.
For Lenin.
Referring TO the question of Trot-
skyism, Zinoviev remarked that the
former mistakes dividing Trotskyisin
from Leninism, which Trotsky him
self no longer defends, are not the
basis of the opposition bloc and the
opposition especially does not share
in "the theory OF the permanent revo-
luton" 4A
In conclusion, zinoviev declared that
he will stand on the ground OF Lenin-
ism and that he Is not guilty OF a
'socialdemocratia drift"
