A short time ago the Leather
workers Union of U.S.S.R. des-
patched 5000 roubles to help the
locked out shoemakers of Norway.
/ A few days later the Central Com
mittee Of the Leatherworkcrs Union
received a letter from the Norwegian
Shoemakers' Union, in which the
Norwegian comrades expressed their
1 gratitude and wrote:
"Our present fight is a hard one.
1t has been going on for 10 weeks
and the end is still very far off, for
the owners are stubborn in their de-
mands. But the workers are abso-
lutely solid, and if we can obtain q
little more help we are sure that
through united action the dispute will
end in victory for the workers.

At the Congress Of workers of the
Tailoring Industry in the U.S.S.R.
which has Just concluded in Moscow,
Comrade Libers, the Chairman of the
Belgian Delegation of the Tailors
Union said:
During our sojourn in the U.S.S.R.
we had the opportunity of seeing
many institutions and factories. We
are convinced that since the time of
the last Congress, at which we were
present, you have made great pro-
gress. We took part in the May 1st
demonstrations together with the
Moscow proletariat, and we are con-
WINGED that the working class of the
U.S.S.R. is prepared at a moments
notice to defend the Soviet power
The workers of the whole world
should learn from the Soviet workers
how to fight for their own future"
Comrade Libers presented TIL e
Congress with an address from the
National Congress of Tailors' in Bel
GUM, which took place in Autumn
1926. In this address written in
Russian language, it says that the
Belgian tailors henceforth will fight
theoretically for unity.
Comrade Sclair, member of the
Executive of the British Tailors' and
Garment Workers Union, who was
present at the Congress, said:
"The knowledge of the Russian
language gave me the lucky oppor-
tunity Of following the work of the
Congress from day to day. l have
been convinced during this time that
the work of the Soviet trade unions
differs greatly from that of the
English trade unions: your Congress
took an active part in the solution of
questions of economic construction
and cultural work, which the English
unions are not in the habit of doing
unfortunately they cannot at pres
ent). When / arrive in England l
shall have something to relate.
GAS for unity between the English
and Soviet tailors, l consider that it
exists already and that no power
exists which can break this unity.
The Annual Congress of our union
will take place next year, and we
hope to see your representatives
there.
"1Ve shall work together then not
only for unity among the tailors, but
for general unity among the working
class as a whole"
The Congress greeted the foreign
delegates with a stormy applause.
