Employment Figures
in Cleveland Give
Lie to Prosperity

CLEVELAND. Dec. 6.-While the
prosperity howlers are raising their
voices to the skies people who know
what the situation is are pulling the
ground out from under them.
B. c. Seiple, superintendent OF the
City-State Free Employment Bureau.
points out that there has been de-
crease of q per cent in employment
placements from those Of October and
17.6 per cent decrease from November,
1925.
This is causing considerable alarm
in Cleveland. since there is little hope
Of a change for the better.
Men bore the brunt of the drop,
their share being 81 per cent; that of
the women being per cent. Seiple
believes that the situation will become
far worse as the winter years on.
The steel industry has reduced pro-
duction to 20 per cent, with a likely
drop to even go per cent of capacity.
The auto industry is hard hit, and
Ford is the first to manifest it. Build
ing operations are particularly hit in
Cleveland.

worker Correspondentl

NEW IOfLh, Dec. IA student del
egation to Soviet Russia was planned
and national executive committee
elected here at a conference Of dele.
gates representing colleges and uni
versities in this state and New Eng
land. The conference, called by the
Student Council of New York City,
was held at Columbia University.
Students Should Join.
THE Russian revolution is the most
significant event of this generation, -
declared Chairman r. Heckert, one
of the eight delegates who accom-
panied Sherwood Eddy to the Soviet
Republic last summer. ''The French
revolution we can know only from
books, but the Russian revolution,
which Is even more sweeping, we have
an opportunity to study first hand.
American students should not permit
this unique opportunity to be lost"
100 Is Limit.
One hundred students Is the limit
act for next summers delegation, ac-
cording to Chairman R. Davis of the
publicity committee. These students,
60 per cent of whom must be under
graduates, will be selected on the
basis of their preparation for scien-
fife study in such social laboratory
es Soviet Russia, and their ability to
present their findings effectively thru
writing and speaking
UNLESS we can inform the students
of this country as to what is really
happening in Russia, student delega-
tion is of little value" declared Davis.
'The delegation will be subdivided
into groups, each group choosing some
specific problem, such as trade unions
or national minorities, and limiting
its Investigations to that field"
To Raise Funds.
"Funds to finance the delegates will
be raised by the groups sending such
representatives. declared Bishop.
@Here at Columbia a theater party and
other affairs will be held for this pur-
pose. Plans are being worked out for
the creation of loan fund which will
make it possible for delegates to bor-
row all or part of the $500 needed for
the trip. No student will be permitted
to join our group merely because he
happens to be able to pay his own ex-
penses. We hope to offer several ma
tional scholarships for specially quail
FED students. We want to make this
bona flde American student delega-
ton, representing as many sections of
this country as possible, so that
authentic news about Russia may be
spread thruout the United States"
Study Communism.
The philosophy of Communism and
the historic background of the revolu-
ton are among some of the subjects
which will be studied in preparation
for next summers laboratory work in
Russia. Pamphlets containing facts
about the various phases of life in
Soviet Russia will be prepared for the
use of the delegates. Group study will
begin at Columbia University Thurs
day, December 9, with discussion of
the philosophy of Communism.
