In Rochester, New York con-

many organizations will be repre-

The Daily Worker is distributed
there at the special MONDAY meet

big Northeastern Electric Co., the
large Eastman Kodak factory and
other huge industrial enterprises,
the workers are eager to get it. The

l met class conscious Negro work
ers who were more than glad to re-
ceive copy of the Daily Worker,
and are handing them over to fell
low workers.
Negro Workers Active.
A Negro comrade in East Liver
pool, Ohio is a Daily Worker agent
and doing very good work. In
Warn, Ohio, where Negro comrade
is Daily Worker agent in spite of
the oppression and terrorism that
he is confronted with from the mill
barons, he does splendid work for
the Daily Worker.
On the whole it can be said that it
only requires the devotion of the
comrades in every part of the coun-
try; that there is a great field for
the growth of the Daily Worker, so
that it becomes the actual mouth
piece, the collective organizer and
educator of the workers in this coun-
try, and able to counter-attack the
poisonous dope of the capitalist
press. At the same time it will
pave the way towards our cam
paigns for the organizations of
militant trade unions, for the cam
paigr against war and for the re-
building of workingclass revolu-
tionary movement in this country.

the average monthly wage of work
ers together with an increase in the
state industries marked the devel-
opment of the industries in the
Soviet Union according to the lat
est figures of the State Planning

573, 100000 rubles in July of last
year and for the ten months of the
current year October to JULY it
amounted to 8,015,000,000 rubles.
Following the provisions of the
State Planning Commission that
every increase in the production of
the industries would be followed by
an increase in the salaries of the
workers, the average monthly
wages of the workers increased
from 6432 rubles in July of last
year, to 70.17 rubles in July of the
current year.
The production of fuels and min
erals also saw a commendable in
crease for the month of July as
compared with July of last year.
Coal, oil, cast-iron, iron-ore, cotton
yarn were produced in greater guam
titles for the month than for the
same month last year.
AS a measure of the increasing
prosperity of the workers and pea
SAINTS figures on the money in cir
culation can be taken. The general
sum of circulating money on August
l of this year amounted to 1,718,-
100000 rubles as against 1,443,000,-
900 rubles on August 1 of the last

this meeting All laid great stress
to the Importance of resuming
mass picketing as an answer to the
Batty sell out plan. They then
talked of convention arrangements.
Meetings of individual mill commit
tees were still being held for the
election of representatives to the
convention, the speakers also stated.
Local papers announce that they
expect j. Sullivan, president of the
mill owners association to issue a
statement on the secret meeting of
that organization, held recently. 1t
is expected that the mill bosses will
come out with an announcement that
they are ready to negotiate for a
settlement with Batty. This means
that the. sellout, whereby the bosses
will be granted speed-up system
that means less earnings for the mill
workers, is imminent momentarily.
"No settlement is valid without
our union. The intended Batty set
Element will be rejected by the
overwhelming masses of strikers
and even by majority of Batty's
own membership" was the defiant
message carried in a statement to
the press by the Textile Workers
Union of the Textile Mill Commit
tees. The statement also declared:
"We shall keep fighting for VIC
tory, and we are certain that the
majority of Batty's union will join
the other thousands of workers in

Observers See Planned Betrayal.
CHICAGO, Sept. 1.-THE ex-

officials of the union conductors
and trainmen to block the demands
of the men for wage increases has
been made.
These officials are again sitting
in more or less secret mediation
with representatives of the employ
ers Notwithstanding the overwhelm-
ing vote of the men for strike ac-
ton and in spite of their own re-
peated statements that there would
be no more of the interminable
conferences by which the railroads
have succeeded in postponing action
for over two years.
Only further mass pressure on
the part of the workers can prevent
certain betrayal, which observers
declare the union officials and the
railroad magnates are even now
working out.
