In addition, P. j. Connolly began
the first of a series of announcements
to the workers in which he claims
that letters are coming in to him

The workers are entirely indiffer-
ent to these tactics. At the office

e. 149th St., the number of workers
1oining the union is steadily increas-
ing. The question as to when the

the expected strike is uppermost.
That such a strike is inevitable and
that without it no mass organization
can be accomplished is the conviction
Of a majority of those with whom

spoke.

feminist Party, Stain analysed
the international situation. He
pointed out the aggravation of
the differences between the cap
italist countries and the growth
of class contradictions within
these lands.
Dwelling on the problems of
the Chinese Revolution, Stain
expressed the firm belief that its re-
vival was only question of time.
The speaker pointed to the efforts
of the Soviet Union to preserve peace
in contrast to the capitalist powers.
Further development, Stain declared,
must inevitably lead to revolutionary
shocks.
Socialism Gains.
The second part of Stalin's speech
described the achievements of the
Party in the field of national economy.
The socialist sector of the nationalist
economy has grown considerably at
the expense of private capital, the
speaker indicated. The rapid pace of
the development of the Soviet Unions
industry is due to the fact that the
entire peoples economy has been
placed on minutely planned basis.
Referring, in the last part of his
speech, to, the question of the Oppo-
sition, Stain said, "If previously one
could have asked in what lay the diff
ferences between the Party and OPP
position, one must now ask whether
there exists single point of agree
ment between them"
What is to happen to the Opposition
now? Stain asked. 1t is being said
that the Opposition intends to sub
nit a declaration to the congress,
stating its willingness to submit to
the Party decisions and to dissolve its
fraction. At the same time, it adds
that it will defend within the Party
the views it has heretofore held.
Opposition Must Disarm.
Amidst the stormy applause of the
congress, Stain declared that this
will be vain. If the Opposition wishes
to remain in the Party any longer it
must "disarm ideologically and or
ganizationally," and openly before the
whole Party and the working class

When the assault took place dur

din kept up from tee to tee. An

as to the score and the chickering's
threatened to end the match right
there. Amity was finally estab-

was reached in season. Dishpans
