MOSCOW, May 29.-More confes-
sions of guilt in the trial of techni-
clans in the Donetz sabotage trial
were made yesterday.
The electrical engineer Nildshin,
who was examined, pleaded guilty and
declared that the engineer Koester
had delivered two useless and anti
quated machines from the German
firm, Knapp. Nikishin had pointed
out that the machines were useless
while Kalganov and the German en-
gineer Sebold had declared that the
machines were excellent and should
be used. NilisAin, who promised to
make no trouble, received 400 roubles
thru the German representative of
Knapp, Badstieber, who is also ac-
cused of being participated in the
plot.
In answer to number Of questions
put to him by Krylenko, prosecuting
attorney, Nikishin declared that the
machines were not only useless for
the mines concerned, but were alto
gether useless. He declared that Cor
letsld has issued instructions that no
machines made in the Soviet Union
were to be purchased as he had or
dered useless foreign machines.
Krylenl1o pointed out that Bad

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, May 20
Enraged by the fast growing prestige
and authority of the Textile Mills
Committee as the real leaders of the
$4,000 textile workers who have been
on strike here more than six weeks,
the police are daily increasing their
attempts to damage the already
strongly intrenched strike machinery
by continued arrest of it's leadership.
After a strike meeting held yester-
day afternoon in which over two thou
sand strikers participated, William T.
Murdoch, head of the New Bedford
Committees, and Lameras and Porter,
two active figures in the strike were
again arrested. This is the second
time Murdoch has been arrested after
a meeting in the past few days. The
usual charge of disturbing the
peace" was preferred against the
jailed men. Murdoch and Fred E.
Beal, Mills Committee organizer are
to come up for trial Thursday for
leading large picket demonstration
before the gates of the Nonquit Mills.
Arrests Incentive.
The sharpening police policy Of
making numerous arrests in order to
discourage the picketing has not only
been a complete failure, but on the
contrary, has resulted in a heavy in
crease of the turnout Of strikers to
the picket line. Admission Of the
heaviest picketing since the strike be-
gan is made even by the capitalist
press, as well as the employers trade
journals.

URGE WORKERS TO
HONOR HAYWOOD
Meet a Demonstration
for Class Struggle

Calling on the militant workers of
New York to make the Haywood Me-
mortal Meeting on Friday demon
stration for the class struggle, Will
liam w. Weinstone, organizer of Dis
|trict 2 of the Workers (Communist)
Party, yesterday issued the follow
ing statement:
"Dear Comrades:
Friday, June l, 8 P. M. at the Cen
trail Opera House, the workers of New
York will honor the memory of the
militant champion of American work
ers-William D. Haywood.
The New York workers will honor
the services of that great leader of
the American revolutionary movement
who was a pioneer in the establish
ment of the trade union movement
and who helped in the economic and
political development of the working
class of this country.
Haywood stands out as towering
figure in American labor history. The
battles in which he has been engaged
have been milestones in the develop
ment of the toilers. He has been
prosecuted. He has been imprisoned.
He has been bounded by the capitalist
class because they saw in him a force
for the organization of the workers,
for instilling the workers with class
consciousness and determination for
the overthrow of the capitalist sys-
tenn.

founder of the Industrial Workers of

PIECE WORK FOR TAILORS
Beckeyman Foists NeaO System On Men

The first open organizational step
on a wholesale scale toward shack
ling the tens of thousands of workers
in the mems clothing industry with
the chains of the degrading piece
work system, was taken yesterday by
A. Beckerman, boss of the New York
Joint Board of the Amalgamated,
when he declared that he intended to
grant this system of slavery to a
dozen large manufacturers.
The bosses in question made this
demand several days ago, with the
threat that refusal meant the break
ing of negotiations with the union and
their removal to suburban towns.
The intended general granting of
this demand to the bosses is made
with the union about to enter nego-
tiations with the employers associa-
tion for renewal of the agreement

work to the IL bosses, is understood

marked the fourth birthday OF
the organization. More than 100000
working men, women and children
turned out for the demonstration
which was one of the most enthusias-
tic that Berlin ever witnessed.
The workers quarter was a forest
of red flags. Over hundred thou
sand Red Front Fighters from all
parts Of Germany assembled at four
meeting points and joined a monster
march toward the Lustgarten.
Delegates from similar working
class organizations in Great Britain,
France, Czechoslovakia, Austria and
Switzerland attended to express their
solidarity with their German COM
rades.
Cheer Marchers.
Masses of workers lined the streets
and Justify cheered the marchers.

PITTSBURGH, May 29-Ousting
the treacherous officials of the
Lewis Pagan machine in District 5,
over two hundred delegates in a
special convention here, representing
over one hundred locals in the district
voted this morning to take over the
union once more for the miners.
Rank and file delegates at the con-
vention rose to cite proof after proof
of strikebreaking activities on the
part of the Lewis officialdom in this
section, and unanimously declared
their offices vacant. Grey haired dele
gates who have been militant fighters
in the union for over thirty years de-
nounced Pat Pagan, president of the
district, and Lewis for expelling them
together with thousands of others in
their attempt to disrupt the organiza-
ton.
Minerich Chairman.
Anthony Minerich elected chairman
and Tom Myerscough, secretary of
the convention. Striking miners from
Westmoreland county who have re-
Gently been organized, were seated as
fraternal delegates. Mine women
from auxiliaries also as fraternal
delegates occupy the first few rows
in the hall.
Resolutions demanding complete
change in the strike and union policy
and calling miners to disregard the
illegal expulsions Of progressive To-
Gals and individuals, eliminating ap-
pointive power of international presi-
dent, for a fight for the Jacksonville
scale of wages, for naturalization of
mines, one national agreement were
unanimously passed.
Special resolution calling for equal
pay for young workers and their more
active participation in union affairs
precipitated wide spirited discussion.
Charles Wilson from the New York
City Children's Relief Committee was
given a great ovation when he
pledged the children's support to the
strike.

Whenever he granted piece-work to

CONGRESS- CLOSES
after DOING BIT
FOR BIC BUSINESS
Record One of Blacklist
in Recent Years

WASHINGTON, May 20. - The
first session of the 10th Congress,
notable for the efficient aid which it
rendered the big business and bank
ing interests of the country, ended
this afternoon at $3.50. Within an
hour after the Senate had adopted a
resolution to adjourn in order to pre-
vent further discussion of the John
son-Swing Boulder Dam bill, the
House approved adjournment by a
vote of LIS to 9.
Although defeated in his attempt
to prolong the session for vote on
the Boulder Dam measure, Senator
Johnson succeeded in making his bill
the first order of business when Con-
gress convenes again in December.
The record of the session is one of
complete subservience to the big in
dustrial and financial interests.
Among the measures that were passed
by Congress during the session were
the revenue bill, which will cut taxes
of big business corporations, the
Jones White merchant marine bill
which provides for loans at low rates
to the shipping interests; the public
building bill which will grant fat
sums to big contractors.
The appropriations made by Con-
gress during the session are expected
to exceed $4,50O,OOO,O Oo0-appropria-
tions which are larger than those
made by any congress since 1919-20
when great fiscal appropriations were
made for the war.

In the Stock Market
CBy Thomson g. McKinnonl

NEW YORK, July 1--we will
undoubtedly have a rest for a week
or two from the discussion of
changes in rediscount rates, but
brokers' loans will be, as usual, the
topic today and Thursday. from
what we can see this morning.
Thursdays report should show some
reduction, but we don't think it will
be an important one. Possibly the
anticipation of this and the dullness
and the natural Discrimination Of
the public to liquidate their stocks,
made it possible for the professionals
to bring about fair rally in Tues
days market. In these days any
sort of rally is very welcome, but it
is very evident that the public does
not follow these moves as hereto
fore. This, of course, is perfectly
natural in view of the widely adver-
tised policy of the banking authori-
ties to contract credit. We continue
of opinion that until there is a
change in this policy it will be
profitable to sell stocks on the
bulges.

NEW YORK, July 18.-Moderate
rallying tendencies that developed
in Tuesdays trading were carried
over in early dealings today and
further new highs on the movement
were scored by speculative leaders.
Trading, however, continued on the
same small scale witnessed for the
greater part of the week and efforts
to push leaders ahead rapidly met
with failure.
Shorts continued to cover in a
small way and aided in the upturn.
Some important buying was noted
in several issues, notably General
Motors and the mail order shares,
while traders were buying in a small
way on the expectations of sharp
decrease in brokerage loans to be
reported after the close of the mar
ket tonight.
Small initial advances were scored
by General Motors, Radio, Mont
gomery Ward, but Steel held steady
around its previous closing level.
Macy and Schultz we're in special
demand, the former rising to fur
ther record high.
Atlantic Refining continued to
feature the oil shares, running up
nearly points to new high for
the year
Further new highs on the re-
covery were scored in the early aft
ernoon dealings following a drop in
call money to So per cent from
renewal rate of 6 per cent. Heavy
buying continued in the mail order
shares and General Motors and ex-
tensive gains were made by these
issues. Trading in other sections of
the list, however, we're generally
light and changes were without
significance.
