WORLD TOURIST
Praises U.S.S.R.
Cites Value of Soviet
Union for Americans

Russia is still closed book to the
millions in America, and a sensible
method of building up firm basis of
friendship between these two great
countries, is closer personal contact
and the sweeping away of distorted
pictures of each others lives" said
NJ. Maurice, a director of the World
Tourists, Inc, of SO Fifth Ave-, New
York City, who spent the past winter
in Soviet Russia securing the renewal
of the contract given to the World
Tourists, Inc. to arrange tours thru
out the Soviet Republics in coopera-
ton with the official travel bureau of
the Soviet government.
"No country has more beautiful ma
tural wonders or greater treasures OF
art than Russia" continued Maurice.
Zone can within week, brouse thru
the sub-tropics of Tiflis and Crimea,
travel thru the scenic marveIs of the
Caucasus and trek the rich soil of
the Volga district"
The World Tourists, Inc, at once
visualized the tremendous tourist pos
sibilities of this vast country and was
the first company to bring this field
of unusual tours and interest to the
American people.

BOSSES OPENLY
ADMIT CHANCES
FOR CORRUPTIO
Hillman Is Blind" to
Rich Pickings

An extremely clear connection is
being established, between the imrni-
nent introduction of piece work in
the mems clothing industry, which
the union officials are enthusiastically
putting thru over the protests of the
tailors, and the recent exposures of
a deeply intrenched system of graft
in the New York Joint Boz. of the
Amalgamated Clothing F'orkers'
Union.
Even employers are beginning to
admit openly their fear that the sys-
tenn Of piece work will be used as a
inexhaustable source of graft by
the corrupt machine controlling the
workers organization. 1t is even ad-
nitted that the graft disbursements
along this line are by no means in
the future, information being avail
able to the effect that first payments
have already been made.
While all this is going on Presi-
dent Hillman is still conducting what
he terms can unrelenting investiga-
ton" Despite all his probing" it
is stated that he also knows of Of
ficials in the administration who are
on the payroll of the Contractors
Association.
There are also individuals in the
union administration who are at the
same time partners in certain cloth
ing manufacturing firms. Officials
have been known to receive appreci-
alive gifts" not only from individ-
ual employers, but from an employ
ers' association as whole. Heads of
the machine, it is further learned,
have been sent on lengthy and en-
joyable vacations, paid for by money
given by doting bosses.
With all those facts easily avail
able to Hillman, the ''holy president"
still continues to declare that he is
diligently digging for evidence" of
misbehavior.
Another interesting fact: At the
recent convention of the A. G. W.
in Cincinnati, the 300 delegates to the
convention were accompanied by
about TOO guests" These were the
paid officialdom, who did all neces-
sary arranging for the maniacaI
horn-tooting and Misunderstanding
demonstrations that remained the
outstanding achievements of the con-
yention. 1t was now brought to light
that the money necessary to pay for
the numerous parties and banquats,
INDUCED in by the machine quests"
from New York, came from a So
called voluntary tax of one hours
work levied on the workers here.
Faced with convincing arguments by
the Beckerman officials, that the job
would be forfeited, most workers de-
cided to volunteer" the one hour
tax.

Blackstone Comp. Asks
100000 Damages

Following the precedent set in the
New Bedford stonecutters case of
last year which denied workers the
right to refuse to work on non-union
materials, another company has filed
suit against the stonecutters' union
for refusing to handle their non-union
products. The company is the Black
stone Company of New Haven, which
has filed suit against all organiza-
lions of the Stone Cutters Union,
both national and local, for 100000.
The company, according to reports,
has already secured federal injunc-
tions against the union.

where the power of the bourgeoisie
has been destroyed.
"The workers and the poor peasants
accept the leadership of the Commu-
mist Party and refer to it as Our
Party even tho they themselves may
not be members. And the Soviet
government is a government under
which women have equal rights, both
political and economic, with the men.
The condition of the women and chill
dren is the special care of the govern
ment. The maternity law excuses
women from work two months before
and'two months after the birth of the
child with full pay. After she re-
turns to work, the mother is permitted
to take one and a half to two hours
off daily to nurse her child. The gov
eminent also provides clothes for the
infant and hospital care is free. Nurs-
cries for children are attached to the
factories.
Educational Program.
"a wide and intensive educational
program" continued Comrade Git
low, sis carried on among the work
ing women and the workers wives.
as well as among the peasant women.
This work is carried on by the Com
munist Party, chiefly thru the women
comrades. The results are truly re-
markable. Only those who have
known as I have the condition of the
working and peasant women of Russia
before the Revolution can appreciate
the tremendous change that has
taken place. Women who five years
ago were illiterate, unable to read
or write, are now active on workers
newspapers and are writing leaflets
and pamphlets.
Il met an old peasant woman who
is now GO years old and has learned to
read and write only within recent
years. This old peasant woman is
the author of a pamphlet on the
homeless waits in Soviet Russia which
has had tremendous circulation"
Attended WOmens' Conference.
Comrade Gitlow attended a number
of women's conferences during her
stay in the Soviet Union. She was
one of the speakers at a conference
OF factory women's delegates at the
10th anniversary Of the Soviet Union.
This gathering was also addressed by
Clara Zetkin, Krupskaya and by
number of rank and file factory
women. One of the most interesting
meetings she attended was an All

GIANT CAMPAIGN
is ORGANIZED BY
POWER BARONS
Reveal Nation Wide
Drive in Schools

WASHINGTON, June 10. A
giant campaign by organized electric
power and gas interests to seize con-
troll of the country's entire educa-
tional system, clearing the way for
domination of economic and political
action, was disclosed yesterday.
The immediate object is to instil
Sound doctrine into all Americans
from the child of seven to political,
legislative, administrative and regu-
latory bodics."g
To this end propagandists Of these
interests are ain contact with school
and college students in more than 30
states, REINFORCED by powerful pres
sure upon textbook writers and pub
fishers and the hammering home of
sound" ideas in thousands of columns
Of free newspaper space.
Of such overpowering proportions
is this movement that one of the lead
ing propagandists boosted that in a
few years he and his fellows would
Create for the first time in the long
history Of mankind, a definite, sound
school of economic thought, not only
among economists, but amng all the
people"
These disclosures were made in
hitherto secret document supoenaed
by the trade commission, reporting in
fullest detail the proceedings at
meeting of 10 directors of the propa-
ganda activity gathered together
from all sections of the country.
This document is considered in Of
fetal quarters master key to pro-
paganda activities which for eight
years past, in mounting volume, have
flooded with material what the power
interests demanded should be thought
1t throws wide doors the commits
sion has opened little by little, and
summarizes and interprets - in the
language Of the power spokesman
themselyes-reams Of written reports
which have gone into the commits
sion's record piece-meal.
The extravagant prophecy that the
first "sound school of economic
thought" in history was to be set UP
was made by J. B. Sheridan. of St.
Louis, director of a network of pro-
paganda in Missouri which has
reached out to virtually every section
of the country. He will be a witness
in the investigation tomorrow.
The power interests delegated to
this man, the task of reviewing the
textbooks on civics and economics
used in all parts of the United States,
to find out what was being taught
that they did not want taught, and
how to have it eliminated"
His accomplishments and his aims
were set forth at the meeting de-
scribed in the document. 1t was held
during the seventh annual convention
of the American Gas Association in
Atlantic City in October, 1925, with
many utility leaders sitting in with
the propagandists at their session.
Since that time, the commissions
record shows, hundreds of thousands
ST dollars have been poured into pro-
paganda work, and every form of it
has been extended.
