MORE POLICE AT
TEXTILE MILLS
Bosses Take Advantage
of Union F'iasco

PAWTUCKET, R. l., May 9.-Now
that the officials of the United Tex
tile Workers Union have displayed
their ability to engineer a miserable
fiasco, by agreeing not to oppose the
application of the Darlington Textile
Mills for an anti-picketing Injunction
while the negotiations for settle
ment were in progress, the mill own
ers are intensifying their offensive
against the strikers by doubling the
number of police guards, state police
and deputy sheriffs.
The ranks of the strikers are solid
despite the fact that the employers
succeeded in their ruse of calling the
union officials to conference for q
settlement, when asking them to in
struct the union attorneys not to op-
pose in court the company's applica-
ton for an anti-strike injunction.
which the union officialdon did. At
ter the writ was granted the bosses

FAIL TO EXCLUDE
Chinese Sail ORS

WASHINGTON, May 9.-Attempt
to exclude Chinese and other Oriental
workers from employment on Amer
lean ships met defeat with the failure
of the so-called white race amend
ment to the new merchant marine
bill. The bill was passed on May 5
by a vote of 81 to A.
An example of the starvation wages
paid Oriental labor was brought out
in the course Of the discussion on the
amendment. 1t was pointed out that
the pay of Chinese stewards on Pa
cific steamships is $10.97 a month
as compared with $43.8O paid to white
stewards by British ships in the same
service.

Patriotic propaganda of the Marvin
Keymen of America stripe is put un-
der the tense in an 11-page report
just published by the research depart
ment of the Federal Council of
Churches. The Federal Council has
been repeatedly described by Marvin,
the d. A. R. and fellow patriots as
linked with Moscow in spreading
Communism in America.
Marvin's efforts, asserts the Coun-
Gil report, ''are characterized by mis-
use of terms, half-truths, misrepre-
sensations and insinuations. Plainly
false statements are not lacking.
Often charges are apparently phrased
so as to avoid specific libelous state
ments, while accomplishing a maxi
mum by way of damaging insinua-
ton" The following is given as an
example:
There is a conviction among those
who have watched the Federal Coun-
ellis activities that attached to the
extreme left is pot of Soviet gold"
Nesta Webster, an English writer
who specializes in trailing "World
Revolution propaganda" is held to be
the inspirer of much of Marvin's odd
and venomous attacks. Half the re-
port is devoted to examples of patri-
oteers' wild charges. The study may

Beresobsky, who took charge of the
distribution of the money admitted
that he had distributed one hundred
and seventy-five thousand roubles
Beresovsky admitted that he had re-
ceived twenty thousand roubles per
sonally.
The relations between the numer-
Gus foreign firms and the conspira-
tors was clearly proved in the investi-
cation. The firms kept the con-
spirators supplied with money.
Many of the accused confessed to
purchasing unnecessary and useless
machinery, for example machinery
was purchased from the German firm
Knapp on a contractual basis by the
engineer Gorletzky.
Admit Taking Brides.
The chairman of the purchasing
committee, Kusma, admitted that he
had taken bride of $500 roubles,
while the German mechanic Badstie-
Der admitted that he had obeyed the
instructions of the German engineer
Sebold to bride the mine manager.
He confessed also to signing a docu-
nent concerning the usefulness of
useless machines.
There was clear evidence of rela-
tionship between the conspirators and
the Russian Department of the Ger
man Algemeine Electrische Gesel-
schaft. The brother of one of the
conspirators, Bashkin, works in the
department of the director Bleiman.

According to the testimony Of the
accused Kasarinov, conference took
place in the Russian department OF
the Algemeine Electrische Geselschaft
which was attended by Bleiman
Bashkin, Kasarinov and representa-
tive of the former owner of the Sher-
binov mine, Dvorshantchik. In the
name of the Algemeine Electrische
Geselschaft, Bleimann agreed to con-
tribute one per cent of the purchase
price to the sabotage organization.
Another one of the accused also gave
evidence proving the relationship of
the Russian department of the A. f.
G. and its director Bleimann with the
sabotage organization.
Engineer Fascist.
The accused A. E. G. engineer Otto
admitted being member of fascist
organization before his departure for
Russia. Otto denies the sabotage
charges levelled against him but is
seriously compromised by the evil
dence presented by Kasarinov.
The Donetz trial will probably be-
gin here on the fifteenth Of May be-

President will be the University Rec

miner and Moscow factory worker.
The trial will probably last enc

German Capitalists Helped Organize Sabotage Conspiracy Domez Basin
.USSR Mine union
CONGRESS- OPENS,
GAINS REPORTED
Wages Increased; Coal
Output Grows

MOSCOW, (By Mail.-The Sixth
Congress of the Miners Union which
was opened on April goth, signalizes
a broad development and considerable
growth Of the Soviet Russian mining
industry. This, in spite of the efforts
of the agents of the world bour-
geoisie to create in one of the most
important districts of the mining in
dustry a base for economic interven-
ton which, for a number of years did
great harm to the Industry. -.
During the two years which have
passed since the Fifth Congress, the
production of coal has increased by
SO per cent and constitutes 122 per
cent compared with the production in
1913; the production of oil has in
creased by 10 per cent and constitutes
125 per cent of the pre-war produc-
ton; the production of peat-by 76.1
per cent, constituting 404 per cent
compared with 1913; the Metal
lurgical industry increased by 1867
per cent This rapid development of
the mining industry was possible only
owing to the considerable increase in
the productivity of labor and the con-
siderable amounts spent on capital
construction lin five years-from
1928 to 192S-the capital expenditure
of the mining industry amounts to
1923 million roubles).
Wage Increase.
The growth of the industry and the
increase of the productivity of labor
was accompanied by systematic wage
rises Ia 45.5 per cent increase in two
years.. During the last years big
efforts were made to improve the
housing conditions of the miners,
which is shown by the expenditures
on the construction of houses. In
1925-26, 80 million roubles were spent
for this purpose, in 1926-27, Is million
roubles were spent for this purpose,
and 40 million roubles have been as
signed for the construction of houses
in 1927-2S.
AS the mining industry develops,
we witness a systematic increase in
the number of workers in enterprises.
commensurate with this is the growth
of membership in the union-from
1851 on January 1st, 1926 to 473,-
1872 on January /, 1928.
Much has been done in regard to
promoting rank and file trade union
members to important economic, So
Wet and cooperative costs $1,000
members of the miners union were
promoted to such posts in the course
of two years..
The union has considerably CONSOLE
dated its financial position, and
thanks to strict economy in regard to
the upkeep Of the apparatus of the
union, SO per cent of all the member
ship dues were handed over to the
fund of the union in 1928 instead of
the 34.5 per cent in 1926.
Build Workers Clubs.
By 1928 II big labor palaces and
27 workers clubs We're constructed at
the total cost of about 10 million
roubles. Throughout 1928 build
ing operations on a large scale were
carried on. This has certainly given
an impetus to cultural work ina num-
Der of mining districts. However, the,
work of the union has still many de-
fects and errors which came to Light
through the Shakhtinsk trial. These
errors are being thoroughly discussed
and severely criticized at the miners
congress.
