The attack of capitalism which
manifests itself in all countries Of the

practical realization of the world
trade union unity.

Worker, which is the true defender Of
the interests of the workers of Amer

On this the proletarian holiday, the

views its forces and demonstrates it's
labor solidarity before its enemies.
We, the Soviet textile workers, adj
dress to the American workers our ap-
peal to build their ranks side by side
with the world proletariat.
Neither banks nor stock holding will
lead the working class to freedom,
but only a consistent and stubborn
struggle against the class enemy. Not
thru Cancellation did the United States
of America obtain its national liberia
ton. but by means of struggle. Not
by conciliatory phrases was the Ques-
ton of Negro slavery solved in. Amer

THE Central Committee Of the Food
4 Workers Union of the Union Of
Soviet Republics sends its warmest
ECommunist greetings to the organ of
the American Communist Party, The
DAILY WORKER.
On the First of May, the labor day
of the toiling masses who are op-
pressed by capitalism on all of the
five continents Of the world, we greet
the American workers and extend to
them our brotherly hand across the
ocean which divides us.
With you the First of May is the
day Of struggle and review Of your
forces; with us it is the celebration
Of victory. On this day We are again
calling to the red banner of Commu-
nism the masses of those countries
which are oppressed by capitalism.
We again feel the. urge to unite I'M
der the idea of the united front of the
toilers of the entire world.
Capitalism of America has pressed
under its iron heel the rest of the
world, and this results in heavy sac
rifices by tens of millions of the toll
ing smasses thruout the world--the
victims of unemployment, those who
perish in prisons, the exiled, and those
who are shot and who die upon the
gibbets Of the "cultured Europe" in
civilized Europe as well as in the
colonial countries oppressed by
Europe.
Workers Of America, close your
ranks! All under the red banner of
Communism. In this hard struggle we
especially recognize the Importance of
the brotherly Communist press which
conducts the work Of Communist prop
uganda in the land of the capitalist
class Of America which is an enemy
Of Communism and therefore the ideas
which The DAILY WORKER sows
among the masses are an assurance to
us that the cause of struggle for a
united front of the working masses
thruout the world and struggle for
Communism will grow and expand.
On the day Of your and our holiday
we are sendingto you our Communist
greetings in the name Of the $4,000
members who are united in our trade
unions.

OCTOBER IN THE
USSR PROVINCES
Klintzy Leather Workers
Report on Progress
BY ELIAS LIFsHITz.
Worker Correspondent

KLINTZY, Gomel Province, Red
Giant" Leather Works, Z. S. S. R.
(By Mail) The attachments Of the
eighth anniversary of the October rev.
olution have not only affected the cap
itals and allied republics of the u. s.
S. r., but have even penetrated deep
into the provinces Every worker
may see this freely with his own eyes,
and become absolutely convinced that
he has not fought for the revolution in
vain, that October is justifying ITSELF
Let us take an example from the
town Of Klintzy in the Gomel prov
ince. The population Of Klintzy is
hardly $4,000, altho it Is an industrial
town where the majority of the popu-
lation are workers.
What achievements may we place
on record at the eighth anniversary
Of October? One of the main attain
ments is the opening Of a textile fac
tory. This is one more victory in the
field of extending industry. The open
ing up of this factory is of very great
significance in particular for Klintzy.
Up to a 1000 workers will be absorb
ed by this new factory. No small sum
was spent in preparing this factory
and in setting it in order, but it viii
undoubtedly pay its way.
Another victory IS the opening Of
the Stodolsk club. This is a very ip-
portant victory on the cultural front
The $500 mass of workers Of the
Stodolsk factory and leather works
alone will have to sharpen their wits,
develop their minds and train them
selves, and the newly opened club win
be able to cope with this tremendous
task. This club is one of the best In
the whole Gomel province. The club
is composed Of big meeting hall Gin
which two loud speakers are insta1edJ,
library and reading room, and
large number of various rooms for
various circles and classes. The club
is comfortable, agreeably fitted out.
with good taste and every convent
ence and it is forge for educating
our workers.
At the present time we are expert
encing a housing crisis everywhere in
Guiding Klintzy. In our town we have
now commenced fighting against this
housing crisis. Twenty apartments
have already been constructed for
workers families, not to speak of the
communal dwellings fitted out this
year. This is also one of our great
achievements for the occasion of the
eighth anniversary of October. We
have also a number Of smaller
achievements to record in Klintzy.
which tho unnoticed, play a dominate
ing role in the actual life of the town.
With these achievements we will
march forward for attaining still more
important and bigger successes by the
ninth anniversary Of October.

wages must be earned; no mat
ter how small they will be earned,
There will be no discharges"
This and similar catch words drew
hundreds and thousands of workers
from many parts of the country to
look for a job in Mr.. Ford's famous
automobile factory. AS early as the
evening before the day when they ex-
pected to be hired thousands of work
ers stood at the gate of the River
Rouge plant to have the chance off
Shaving for Mr.. Ford.
But after Mr.. Ford has filled his
orders, after his work had been done
he doesn't need US any more. So he
begins to discharge and lay off as
every capitalist does when he has
squeezed in as little time as possible
every bit Of work he needed out of
US.
From the River Rouge plant Mr..
Ford started to lay of by the thou
sands. Mr.. Ford proceeds in the mat
ter very cleverly4 He has placed his
watchdogs-"seryice men"-to watch
every worker. These service men"
discharge workers for the most trivial
things. One is. discharged for not
carrying his badge with the slave
number on, another one is discharged
for running in the factory and others
for not working fast enough, and so
on.
Those Of us not discharged. are
forced to work beyond our endurance,
frightened lest we lose our jobs and
that is our fate, slaves OF Mr.. Ford,
driven to sweat and when not need
ed, thrown out to starve. Ttat is the
present Mr.. Ford offers TO his slaves
for the new year. And the discharged
working men, Of course, will offer no
presents to their families. They will
be glad II they have what to eat.
This slave system will continue
until the workers organize. We, the
slaves OF Mr.. Ford, have no organiza-
ton at all. We must organize and
strive to better our lot and finally
to overthrow the whole capitalist
system that permits Mr.. Ford to
hire and fire at will without consi-
Iteration OF the misery in which we
live. We must on the ruins OF this
rotten system establish the Commun-
ist society In which the workers will
work for their own common good and
will not starve when they have work
ed too well and produced too much,
but on the contrary, will have we'll

GRAFTON of Labor, home for holidays,
made statement that all Indications
point to a prosperous year for 1926
and that labor would maintain its high
CD wage rate.
But every worker here knows the
real situation: That hundreds OF job
less are walking the streets with no
jobs in sight and jobs getting fewer
every day. That the union coal miners
have been forced out Of union mines
into non-union ground hog holes. That
the Elks Lodge, and other fraternal
orders as well as the salvation army
have this year distributed Christmas
charity to hundreds OF workers fam
lilies here. Yet the president OF the
