Trade Uni0niSnl in
The Soviet Union

PITTSBURGH, Nov. 16.-RUssia,
as seen through the eyes of James II.
Maurer, President of the Pennsyl-
vania State Federation of Labor, is a
land of friendly workingmen and
women, enjoying workers clubs,
shorter hours, and new industrial
freedom. Maurer gave his impressions
as member of the labor delegation,
at a dinner here.
John Brophy, former president Of
the central Pennsylvania coal miners,
and the other guest of honor, enter
tanned the diners with the story Of a
table-mate on the SIS Roosevelt that
took them across. The stranger turned
out to be ex-senator Lusk of New
York, author of the famous Lusk
Laws, and Lusk investigation that led
to raids on radicals and the expulsion
of five Socialist assemblymen from
the New York legislature. Discon-
certed at being outnumbered, the
noted red-baiter apologized for his
sins, and said he liked the common
people and had never meant such use
to be made of his material.
Role of Unions.
Maurer's picture of Russia was
eagerly awaited as this is his first
address on the subject at a labor
gathering since his return-the hot
Reading campaign having taken up
his time till now. 1t was a very hui
man picture, and many-sided.
Don't believe anyone who tells you
that the government dominates the
unions" said Maurer. 1.-THE unions
dominate the government. =" Telling of
the shooting of absconding union
treasurers--a regulation sentence for
that offense until recently-he said
that the greatest crime in Russia was
to rob a worhingman.
Unions Free.
The unions are very free institu-
tions, said Maurer, and they give the
worker the freest Of speech and press
on industrial affairs through "wall
papers" and the union organs.
B ro p y contrasted the "well-
rounded trade union-coopcrativ la
Dor party movements he inspected in
Britain, Belgium, Germany with the
outlook towards the future, as ex-
pressed by the miners naturalization
program in Britain, with the still i'm
mature movement in America. lie
said that his visit to western Europe,
and in particular his visit to Russia,
has freshened his vision of the goal
toward which the labor movement
must strive and had given him new
faith and determination to carry on
towards that future.

BITTER STRUGGLE BETWEEN CAPITALIST POWERS
FOR FAT PROFITS FROM TRADE WITH FAR EAST
By LELAND OLDS
Federated Press)

An increasingly bitter struggle be-
tween the great capitalist powers for
the markets of the orient is forecast
in an address by director julius Klein
of the United States bureau of foreign
and domestic commerce. Speaking
to the Seattle chamber of commerce,
Nov. 10, on our new trade frontier,
Klein said:
s"Competition in all of the trade
areas of the far east has been keen
in the past and will be even keener
in the future. Fortunately for US,
perhaps, the purchasing power of the
orient has increased so rapidly that
our gains in commerce have been to
only a moderate degree at the ex-
pense of our competitors, but the time
is coming when we will have a real
struggle on our hands if the present
rate of progress is to continue"
Facing the Pacific.
Klein describes the United States
as having reached the last frontier
and faced across the Pacific. He calls
the astounding growth of trans
Pacific traffic the outstanding fea-
ture of our postwar commerce. Trade
between the United States and the
Orient has grown from $462,0 100000
in 1913 to $2,215,0 100000 in 1926. This
trade he says now constitutes 80 per
per cent of our total imports and
14.6 per cent of our total exports.
The increase in the value of goods
imported by various far eastern mar
kets from the United States is shown
by Klein in the following figures:

BULLETIN
LONDON. Nov. 16. - The discus
sion accompanying the debate on
the motion censuring the Baldwin
Government for neglecting destitu-
ton in the coal fields was so tumult'
nous that the House of Commons
was adjourned twice yesterday.
Sir Philip Cunliffe Lister who at
tempted to defend the Baldwin gov
crnment was hOwled down by the
LabOrites.
LONDON. Nov. 16.-Premier STAN
ley Baldwin's conservative govern
ment was under vigorous attack to-
day from two quarters as a result Of
deplorable conditions prevailing in.
the Welsh and English coal fields.
Ramsay Macdonald. labor party
leader, gave notice he would intro
duce a resolution censuring the gov
etlment for it's handling of the coal
situation.
The cabinet faced scathing criticism
not only from the opposition in Com
mons but from a section of the press.
The Chesterfield correspondent of the
Daily Herald, organ Of the Labor
Party, reported that many of the coal
miners in that district are idle and
that those who are working are earn
ing on an average of $3.50 per week.
Marching Miners.
Meanwhile the little army of unem-
ployed Welsh miners, organized by A.
J. Cook, is slowly approaching London
to make an appeal to Premier Bald
win, calling his attention to the desH-
tuition in the coal fields
Critics of the government declare
that conditions are so serious in the
coal mining districts, owing to unem-
ployment and physical sufferings, that
a tendency towards actual revolt may
develops
According to the Daily News cor
respondent at Durham there are
$4,000 unemployed miners in the Dur
ham coal fields with no money to see
them through the winter. Some Of
these miners have been idle since
1924.
Despite the apparent concern which
Ramsay Macdonald has displayed for
the miners in pretty parliamentary
speeches, the Labor Party, presum-
ably under MacDonald's leadership,
has frowned on the march Of jobless

Rivalry with Britain.
Our 2 keenest rivals in the field"
says Klein, "are Great Britain and
Germany, although practically every
European country completes directly

so far in meeting this competition
from Europe has been in China and
Japan. Although we had a compare
lively late start we are not the pre-
dominant suppliers of occidental com
modities to those countries"
