SUPPLEMENTING the street cars

of motor busses. They are big, sub
stantial, heavy-powered British trucks,
single-decked, the best and fastest
busses l have ever seen. They really
give rapid transit as they tear along
the streets and boulevards, stopping
only at definite stations. The fare
stands in about the same ratio to
that of the tramways as in other coun-
tries

during one of the great street demon
STATIONS our fellow-marchers enliven-
ed the lulls by picking up the nearest
policemen and throwing them high into
the air. The uniform no longer serves
the function of awning the lower or

some young cops come along the
streets pushing\ baby-carriages or car
rying children, or else loaded down
with parcels after the days shopping.
To cap this characterization of the
uniform we find the police often re-
lieved of traffic and "beat" duty by
the "Dvorniks," or yard janitors. They
are the watchmen-porters in charge of
the courtyard entrances which feature
most Russian urban houses, and these
shaggy, unkempt "black" workers are
invested with full police power when

TT should not be imagined that po-
lice regulation has increased during
the last two years. 1t has lessened,
if anything, because conditions are
better now. One does not now notice
the chasing of the street peddlers
that used to be very striking in GER
tain lines such as cigarettes, the Off
cial uniformed vendors have competed
the Independents off the streets, and
the others mainly flourish during the
time when the regular stores are
closed. On the matter of the law
against jumping on and off moving
street cars, which is technically pun
ishable by fine, there is also now great
leniency. Perhaps arrests may still be
made but many thousands court the
fines daily and there is a real self-im-
posed American tempo in loading and
unloading the cars, a sprightliness
that seems to extend into all crannies.

sirable traits could develop unchecked
which now, with the economic and po-
litical situation we'll in hand, are be-
ing given serious attention. Even
among the cream of the wonderful
Russian youth, among some OF the
Komsomol themselves, there develop
ed harmful disregard of personal APP
pearance and conduct. So the Kom-
somol itself is taking the matter in
hand by instituting lectures on Rev
dictionary Ethics" in which it is made
clear that physical mental, or sexual
slovenliness is no sign of revolution
arv distinction. These splendid
youths are fully conscious of their
responsibility as the real leaders of
their generation, and leave no prob
lem untackled that affects the
strength and progress Of their revo-
lutionary heritage.
The stores are filed with excellent
goods and the prices, for all essentials
at least, are quite low. 1t is note
worthy that the expansion in buying
power is so great that some Of the
stores cannot supply the demand for
goods, so that long lines of buyers
wait their turn outside the doors. Con-
trary to the situation two years ago,
these lines are now exclusively out
side the government stores, private
traders in the same line doing only a
limited business because their prices
are higher There are also lines out
side the government rubber trust
stores because the new Soviet rubbers
are so very much better than the pri-
vate wares of the same kind. Light
wines and beers can be bot in all gro
Gerry stores. The workers of Moscow
are better off than those of any other
part of Europe, and in addition to
physical well being they have the sat
isfaction of seeing their own soviet
state constantly on the upgrade.

DISCUSS
RECOGNITION BY

Eager for Trade
Especial to The Daily workerl

MOSCOW, U. S. S. R., Jan. 6-The
question of the resumption of diplo-
matte and trade relations between the
United States and the Soviet Union is
being discussed at great length in
the Russian newspapers. eoss
"a great controversy has been
aroused in the United States by
Wall Street banquet at which repre-
sentative American capitalists. and
agents of Soviet organizations met for
the first time and also by the failure
of Secretary Hoover's anti-Soviet
campaign" declares one of the gov
eminent economic newspapers.
These incidents can be interpreted
as indicating a tendency to nearer
approach by the United States to the
Soviet Union.
Russia and the United States are
not in conflict in the political arena
and in no part of the world are they
economic rivals. The question of es-
tablishing normal relations grows
brighter daily in the minds of Amer
lean business men, giving us reason
to expect a solid basis on which to
discuss final negotiations.
Business men have more conf
dence in actual facts than in political
theories. Despite the negative official
view, business men, in their own in
terest, are seeking to assure them
selves a place in the Russian market"

Protest to Both Governments.
Work was recommended the very

The wording of the telegram was
as follows: $50
Subsequent to May S0th up to 200
600 Shanghai workers organized
themselves in the Council Of Labor
Unions for the purpose Of carrying
on both the national struggle and the
struggle for the improvement of their
position. This movement naturally
threatened the position of foreigners
in China, who therefore, repeatedly
sought to break up the council.
Yesterday bandits, bought by the
imperialists, attacked our council and
cruelty beat up and seriously wound
ed our workers there. The imperial
lists are endeavoring by means of
these attacks to terrorize the Chinese
popular movement. In this present
telegram we appeal to the whole
country and would point out that the
breaking up of the council repre-
sents loss not only for the Shanghai
workers but also for the whole of
the Chinese people as the break up
of mighty organization leading the
national struggle:
1--WE hope therefore, that the Pc
king government and public organiza-
tions will take the necessary steps
to defend the council from the at
tacks of hooligans and assassins hir-
ed by the imperialists.
British Dirty Work.
Besides this telegram the council
issued an appeal to the populace of
Shanghai in which attention was di-
rected to the repeated attempts Of the
English newspapers to discredit the
council leaders by accusing them of
appropriating strike funds for their
own use.
For the second time" runs the
appeal, "the British semi-official kept
press in Shanghai has openly advised
the Chinese military authorities to get
to grips with the leaders of the labor
and students movement. The British
imperialists have hired hooligans to
destroy the Seamen's Union and the
committee for the distribution OF re-
lief to the strikers.
I'VE had already heard some time
ago of preparations being made for
raiding the council and OF the hiring
Of a group of bandits for this object.
And yet, Notwithstanding the fact

that the military authorities declare
that they are making every effort to

hal, and in spite of the fact that
there are military posts almost next
door to the labor unions building,

ligans broke into the council prem
Uses, smashed the furnishings and

Against Whole Movement.
"The hatred shown by the imperial
lists for our organization does not
in the least surprise us. Nor do their
efforts to discredit and crush it with
the help of venal traitors of our coun-
try and people occasion us any sur
prise. The council holds that the at
tack in question is not matter Of
the destruction of single labor or
ganization, but is an imperialist con-
spiracy directed against the whole ma
tional movement for freedom.

Tried to Kill Union Leader.
On the 23rd of August, it was found
that some unknown person who was
in the building had tried to detain the
council chairman, Ii Li-San, in con-
versation just before the raid took
place. Whoever it was did not sue
coed. Comrade Ii Li-San having had
pressing business elsewhere, and he
had barely left the premises when
the attack came off.
After the raid this creature made
his appearance on the premises along
with some others where they were de-

Russia along with the hated fascist
regime, so as to take the sting out of
Green's poisonous propaganda. The
Chicago federation went farther than
asked in attacking fascism by denounc-
ing the Italian debt settlement as a
huge subsidy to Mussolini.
The alleged "progressives" in con-
gress took immediate note of this
phase OF the question and many Of
the speeches will be tuned in to the
resentment OF American trade union
lists against fascism.
Green Fails.
Green, who condemns fascism in
Italy while cultivating its American
counterpart (see "Majah" Berry's
Omaha speech and the A. f. of l..
bureaucracys impeachment with the
ku klux klan), has wholly failed to get
his attack on Soviet Russia across
under the wing of an anti-fascist
movement.
The American workers are giving
wonderful response to the invita-
ton to attack fascsim, and in doing so
they ignore Green's mediation against
Soviet Russia.

Program Of Recreation.
Altho the workers who come to the
house of rest are not sick they are
all examined and weighted on the day
of their arrival, and a daily history
is kept of every perg5n there. 1t is
the aim of these institutions not only
to permit the workers TO rest, but also
to study scientificallSe the effects of
the two weeks rest on all classes of
workers, in order tos determine the
exact point of humiliation of fatigue.
OF course, these experiments are
conducted in such a way as to not
in the least counterfeit the purpose,
which is rest for the workers. The
days program is as follows: Rising
at to s; breakfast at 8; outdoor
games until noon; lunch from IL to
1; 1 to nap; to 4 hikes or games;
4 o'clock tea; after tea physical exer-
cises; dinner; to 10 lecture and

Know the Difference.
In response to the circular the
earliest meetings reported on show
that a spirited resentment against the
fascist dictatorship OF Mussolini Is
burning in the hearts of American
trade unionists who are indignant at
the suppression OF labor unions in
Italy, the terror against Communists
and all radical unionists who opposed
Mussolini's dictatorship because It
was a capitalist dictatorship, a dicta-
torship and terror In which thou
sands OF workers have been murdered
for standing up for the elemental
rights OF labor.
American trade unionists resent a
capitalist dictatorship. And in their
resentment at fasclsm they ignored
entirely Green's artful effort to get
them to couple II up with the dicta-
torship Of the working class In Soviet
Russia. They merely ignore that
phase OF Green's circular and launch
