DELEGATES LAUD
SOVIET REPUBLIC

MOCOW, U.S.S.R., Sept. 81. -
The American Labor Delegation be-
fore leaving the Soviet Union handed
to the Central Council of Labor
Unions for publication, a declaration
in which they stated that they could
not leave the U.S.S.R. without eX-
pressing, even tho in so inadequate
a manner, their warmest gratitude
for the hearty and untiring hospitality
which has been extended to them
from the moment that they crossed
the Soviet frontier.
The declaration states that the
kindness and friendship which has
been extended to them turnout their
stay in the Soviet Union has sur
passed their expectations to such an
extent that they look upon the work
ers of the Soviet Union as true and
sincere friends.
Progress Rapid.
The delegates further expressed
their conviction that if other govern
ments allow the workers and pea
SAINTS of the Soviet Union the posi-
bility for a peaceful development
great progress is in store for the U.
S. S. R. in the near future. The
working class of Europe and Ameri-
ca are in duty bound to see to it
that their governments leave the
workers and peasants of the Soviet
Union in peace. The delegates de-
clare that they will work with all
their forces for this end and express
the hope that the bonds of friendship
between the U.S.S.R. and other coun-
tries will grow ever stronger.
They declare that they will tell the
American people the truth about the
U.S.S.R. such as they have seen it
and they feel certain that this will
help diminish some of the misunder-
standings that have arisen.
In concluding, the signatures once
again expressed their gratitude to
their trade union friends in the US
S.R. for the kind hospitality and ado
that they will never forget the friend
ship shown them.

Industrial Blacklist.
The Brand bill adds an industrial
blacklist in the guise of alien enrol

authority to lower the immigration
bars for particular occupations when
ever a shortage in that line exists.
Such shortage would of course be
