The final preparations for the 18th
anniversary celebrations of the Boil
shevik Revolution are now COM
plete. Moscow is decorated appro-
pirate to the occasion. Buildings
are illuminated and public places or
namented in manner graphically
representing the rapid economic de-
velopment during the past year.
The industrial exhibits are eloquent
testimony of the great strides made
in that field. which simultaneously
realizes further steps toward the
building of socialism. No less
marked is the rapid cultural uplift
of the masses, not merely in the
big centers, but in the remotest
parts of the Soviet Union.
Giant Electric Factory Opens.
| A huge new factory for the man
ufacture of electrical articles and
employing 4,500 workers, with a
production capacity for the ensuing
year of twenty-five million roubles
worth of goods, will open tomorrow.
Many other factosies have also
opened for the first time, marking
great advance for the city of Mos
COW alone,
Data just now published by the
Peoples Supreme Economic Council
are highly gratifying and show that
Soviet Russia's production and in
dustrial capital is increasing faster
than any of the older industrial
countries of Europe. Soviet indus
try is also participating more in
world industry. Total production
exceeds pre-war mark by more than
90 per cent. Over one billion was
expended last year for factory build
ings. Production costs have de-
creased five per cent since last year,
while labor productivity has in
creased fifteen per cent and wages
eleven per cent.
Identification Rapidly ADVANCES.
The volume of electric current
generated is two hundred and forty
three per cent over pre-war. Sew
enty-seven new undertakings have
opened this year, among which were
great oil pipe lines from Baku, Ba-
tum and vicinity. Seventy EIGHT are
partially opened, that is to say,

ready for full capacity production.

On the last anniversary 28 fac
tories, employing 125,000 workers,
introduced the seven-hour day. This
anniversary a law is to go into eff
feet exempting 35 per cent of the

Massachusetts, Mode of
Hailing Hoover
Especial to the Daily Worker)


NEW BEDFORD, Mass, Nov. 6.
Preparations by the Massachu-
setts state authorities are under way
for the jailing of all the most ac-
tive members OF the New Bedford
Textile Workers Union for their ac-
tivities in leading the textile work
ers here in a six-month anti-wage
cut strike.
That this is not an exaggeration
of intentions of the viciously labor
hating Massachusetts judiciary, is
proven by the public declaration of
State District Attorney Crossley,
who is quoted in the local press as
saying that he is out to get all the
leaders Of the left wing New Bed
ford Textile Workers Union.
The New Bedford Evening Stand
ard, in printing the threat of the
district attorney, added list of the
union and strike leaders, whose un-
swerving loyalty to the striking
tens of thousands of textile work
ers has marked them as the VIC
inns of capitalist vengeance.

They are: Eli Keller, general or

PICKET BOOTHS

Their Glass Vote
Especial to the Daily Worker)


PATERSON, N. j., Nov. g.
Every polling place in this city was
yesterday picketed by groups of
silk strikers carrying signs appeal
ing to the city's workers to "vote
as they strike, against the parties
of the BOSSES"
Groups of three and more strik-
ers, which were assigned to each of
the twenty-five voting stations in
town, came in the morning and pa
trolled the polls till late in the day.
Planned and carried out by the
left wing in the Associated Silk
Workers Union against the opposi-
ton of some of that unions con-
servative officials, the successful
picketing of the voting booths
shows still further that the strikers
are rapidly adopting the militant
tactics advocated by the left wing
Since last Saturday, when the union
membership meeting, by an over
whelming majority, voted support
of the left wing proposals and CEN
sure of the compromise" tactics of
the officialdom, the strikers are
carrying out the fighting plans the
left wingers are formulating for the
conduct of their strike.
Show Militancy.
The sentiment expressed among
the workers shows that they ap-
plaud the resourcefulness of the left
wing in planning the picketing of
the polling booths. They declare
that the strike of the silk workers
is thus brought to the attention of
the entire city. Militant workers

Smith Loses New York.
The early loss of New York State
upon which the Tammany forces
had banked so confidently was the
first clear evidence of the landslide
by which Hoover was swept into
power. Incomplete returns at
late hour last night indicated that
beside New York, Hoover carried
Illinois, Pennsylvania, Michigan,
Ohio, the largest states in the coun-
try. These alone would have in
sured Smiths defeat with a normal
division of the other states. In ad-
dition, however, Hoover broke into
the solid south winning the Viz
ginias. Other reports indicated that
Kentucky and possibly Florida may
have been lost by the democrats.
The election of Hoover falls in
completely with the imperialist war
'conspiracies of the United States.
Hoover is an adept at utilizing to
the fullest extent all resources
available for prosecution of the
coming imperialist war. This was
repeatedly shown in his long career
of Systematically starving whole
populations in the interest of imper-
ialist aggression.
Reports being sent in by wire as
we go to press indicate that the
Communist vote, running far ahead
Of its vote in the last presidential
elections, will be large. The COM
munist candidates, national and To-
cal, are leading the socialists in
many election districts of New York
City.

Early last night it became ap-

Hoover, would win. With New

feat for the Tammany governor

certain in the republican camp, it
became evident that the Harding

even in some southern states and

most even with Smith in Texas.
