MOSCOW, U. S. S. R., (By Mail) -
Today we paid visit to Soviet
candy factory After going to the
foreman and presenting our creden-
tails, we were escorted by the fore
man through the factory No part
of the factory and its operations were
overlooked. From the big sleds haul
ed by the excellent Russian horses,
bringing in the raw materials to the
shipping department where the fin
ished product was ready to go on
the market, our guide, a courteous
big young Russian, was ever ready
to answer questions and show the OPP
erations of the work.
Great Interest.
First we entered the primary mix
ing departments where all the heavy
work was done by men and machin-
cry. The cleanliness of the men and
the well-kept mixing pots were OBJ
jects of great attraction. Also the
numerous new and modern machines
were a part of the things we could
not overlook.
We then went to another depart
ment where the cooked sugars, choco-
lates and syrups were carried to long
benches where they were kneaded and
rolled by many workers. The long
line of workers in their white caps,
white dresses and white shoes getting
the candy ready for the cutting ma
chimes, pulling and rolling and knead-
ing their big flexible masses of stuff,
reminded one of gigantic Halo
we'en taffy-pulling party. When the
candy was sufficiently worked it was
put into machine that stretched it
and cut it in pieces about half-inch
thick and one and half inches long.
Modern Machinery.
In the reign of the car the candy
was cut by workers with scissors.
Now the output is forty times as
great and the workers are not driven
as they once were. The cut pieces are
caught in large baskets where they
are carried into the wrapping depart
ment. This place where the candy is
put into coats of many colored paper
is a pleasing sight. Four hundred and
eighty smiling, singing, laughing
girls are at work in their white suits
doing this dainty job But we notice

PROTEST FORCES
BLACK SHIRTS To
HALT WAGE SLASH
Maritime Workers War
on Fascist Edict

GENEVA, Jan. 30.-The protest
of Italian marine workers has forced
a fascist labor court to hand down a
decision stopping the wage cut which
was to have become effective in the
wages of the men. The case is the
first involving the new scale of
wages tried in a National Labor
Court and is believed to reveal the ex-
treme uneasiness with which the fas-
cists regard the stability Of their die
tatorship.
Two months ago the owners gave
notice that they intended to slash sea-
mems wages twenty-five per cent,
The proposed cut followed close upon
the heels of a ten per cent cut. The
men refused to accept the cut, and
the case was referred to the National
Labor Courts which allowed it to drag
along for a month before reaching a
decision.
The decision handed down yester-
day DEGREES that henceforward all
contracts will be for the duration of
six months only.
The maritime workers are elated
over their present triumph and are
determined to use the precedent in
forcing further concessions from the
blackshirts. At the same time, it is
frankly stated by some leaders that
the fascists may exact reprisals in
the near future, and are only biding
the time when they shall feel strong
enough to strike at the maritime
workers.
The average wage for an Italian
seamen is 575 lire or about thirty
dollars a month.

ARGENTINA MAY
BAR U. S. GOODS
Protest Against High
Tariff Rates

BUENOS AIRES, Jan. 80. A
threat to take strong retaliatory
measures, leading to complete ex-
clusion of American goods from Ar
gentine markets, has been made by
Luis Duhau, president of the Sociedad
Rural, powerful association of large
landholders and cattle ranchers.
Senior Duhau's statement follows
the action of Ambassador Pueyrre-
don who brought up the tariff ques-
ton at the Havana Conference. Pueyr-
redon's proposals have the hearty
support of all the meat producers
and agriculturists in the Argentine,
Duhau declares.
Eat present we are selling almost
nothing to the United States" Duhau
is alleged to have said, 'if the United
States refuses to depart from its pres
ent tariff policy its exports to Ar
gentina will soon disappear"
Argentina may decide to build its
own agricultural machines, according
to Duhau, and if it should not there
are other countries besides the
United States where they can be
bought. Duhau further favors the
cancellation Of commercial treaties
with governments which refuse to
treat with the Argentine on a re-
ciprocal basis.
