STRlKEBREAKERS

The scheme of the corrupt bu-
reaucracy of the A. F. of L. and the
socialist officials Of the United He
brew Trades entrenched in the Cen
trail Trades and Labor Council to
wreck the cafeteria workers strike
is already meeting with vigorous op-
position from militant rank and file
members of the locals. Local 719
of the Cooks and Broilers' Union is
the first to go on record in con-
demnation of the scab tactics
planned by the Council.
Condemn Official Sabotage.
"We know of the courageous
fight the striking members of your
union are putting up for the recog-
milton of the union and better con-
ditions," Local 719 wrote in reply
to the appeal for aid from Sam
Kramberg, secretary of the Hotel,
Restaurant and Cafeteria Workers
Union. "We feel that you are doing
a great service to the labor move-
ment. We also know that it would
be conscious sabotage ON the part
of any labor organization that did
not respond to your call, regardless
Of their affiliations" A sum of $50
was donated to the strike funds
after resolution endorsing the
strike was passed.

BOMBAY, India, April 26.-Once
more a strike sweeps Bombay. One
hundred thousand workers walked
out today in response to a call for
a general strike. The chief indus
try here is textiles and its workers
are just back from strike in which
the government imported thousands
of Mohammedan strikebreakers to
try and turn a labor struggle into
a religious war by attacks on the
Hindu strikers.
Misleaders Try To Stop 1t.
The Textile Union reactionary
leaders tried to sabotage the gen.
eral strike by stating that the union
opposed it, but only a handful of
the mill hands paid any attention to
this treacherous appeal.
In the last strike the town was
flooded with British soldiers and
hundreds were shot by them. This
time armed mounted police are al
ready patrolling the mill area and
foot police with machine guns,
bombs and poison gas are already
stationed at strategic points.
The strike was called by the Kan
igar union.

Legion Relies ON AT. OIL.
For Its Strike-Breaking

Expressing complete confidence
that the Am erican Fedora
ton of Labor bureaucracy can be
relied upon to do all the strikebreak-
ing that any boss can require, the
American Legion has issued an Off
cial statement that it will no longer
participate in such activity. Workers
know there is no assurance that the
Legion will keep its word, but the
touching reliance of this murder
gang on the Greenwich crowd is of
interest.
The American Legion, in its state
ment, refers particularly to its as
surance that the union men and
women concerned (the A. F. of L.
misleaders) will "deal properly and
promptly" with any "charge of Com
munist leadership in a strike"
Professional Scab-Herders.
In the past the Legion has raided
meeting halls, lynched militant
workers, assisted in frame-ups dur
ing strikes, and held its men ready
to be deputized as scab herders.
American Legionnaires are at the
present time functioning as hired
gunmen for the employers in the
southern textile strike.
The official statement issued for
publication in labor papers by James
F. Barton, adjutant Of the Legion
says:
"The attitude of the American
Legion on the question of interven-
ton or non-intervention in industrial
disputes is one of strict neutrality.
Shoulder to Shoulder
"The American Federation of La.
Dor and the American Legion stand
shoulder to shoulder for the same
high ideals of good citizenship. II
there is charge Of Communist
leadership in strike, the American
Legion is fully confident that it will
be dealt with properly by the union
men and women concerned. The
union labor attitude on this question
has been pronounced in no uncertain
terms by the national conventions of
the A. F. of l..
"The records of speeches and
resolutions made at national con-
ventions of both the American
Legion and the A. f. of L. leave no
doubt in the mind Of any informed
person of the close cooperation and
friendship between these two or
ganizations on every fundamental
principle of our organizations"

MOSCOW, U. S. S. R., April 20
The Sixteenth Conference of the
All-Union Communist Party of the
Union Of Socialist Soviet Republics
heard speeches today by Rykov,
Kryianovski and Kuibchev on the
five-year plan for the development
of the Soviet economic system into
a producing mechanism that will
practically double the present out
put in most industries, increase it
fourfold in the agricultural machin-
cry industry and threefold in the
engineering industry.
The capital investments will be
proportioned at rs per cent in the
heavy industry and % per cent in
the light industries.
Electrical power production will
be increased from 100000 kilowatt
hours, at present, to 22,OOO,OO0.
Great Metal Product.
Metallurgical products will be in
creased to 100000 tons annually
The production of artificial fertil-
izers for agriculture will go up
from 175,000 tons annually to
100000 tons.
The plan also provides for an in
crease in the productivity of labor
and a decrease in the cost of pro-
duction. Contrary to the situation
in capitalist countries, the increased
productivity of a worker in the
Soviet Union does not increase un-
employment, it only makes the
standard of living higher. and
shortens the work day.
1t was reported that 1900 kilo-
meters (about 1900 miles) of new
railroad track are being built, and
that communications are being still
further improved by a ship canal
from the Don River to the Volga.
An automobile factory with an
annual production of hundred
thousand autos is in the plan. All
of this construction will itself di-
rectly provide work for many more
men who have not found a place in
industry yet.
During the discussion the speak
crs approved the plan, but pointed
cut that it could be carried to a
successful conclusion only with the
maximum unity of the Communist
Party ard determination.
AS a preliminary condition for
carrying out this gigantic program,
therefore, it was pointed cut by
those discussing it, is merciless
struggle against Right wing and
other deviations.
Kryjanovski made the closing
speech, and the theses presented by
the plenary session of the central
committee of the Party was unani-
mously adopted.

to participate in the parade, fol
lowed by a giant May Day Demon
stration to be held next Wednesday

Whalen Evasive.
Whalen had declared that he
would not grant permit for the
line of march originally planned, re-
sorting to the usual subterfuge that
it would "interfere with traffic" He
announced, however, that the "po-
lice department would work out a
suitable line of march"
Whalen's reply follows three
weeks of consistent lodging of the
demands put forth by the National
Textile May Day Labor Conference
of Unions and Fraternal Organiza-
tions, in which are included the Ma
tional Textile Workers Union, the
Needle Trades Workers. Industrial
Union, the Amalgamated Food
Workers, who are now waging an
heroic struggle in the face of brutal
Tammany police terrorism; the In
dependent Shoe Workers Union and
other militant labor organizations.
At the same time a May Day
Manifesto was issued by the Trade
Union Educational League, calling
on all workers to celebrate interna-
tional labor day and is expected here
to concentrate attention also on the
Trade Union Unity Convention,
called by the T. U. E. L. to meet in
Cleveland one month later. Many
of the May Day meetings already
arranged for important industrial
cities are in the centers from which
heavy delegations from the most i'm
portant industries in the country are
expected at the Cleveland conference
to build new militant trade union
center and to lay plans for the or
ganization of the unorganized.
Call On All Workers.
Labor Unity, organ of the Trade

SPALATO, Dalmatia, Aug. 15.- Adriatic sardines of the finest va riety were offered here for less than a cent pound This years catch was the largest in the his tory of the Dalmatian coast and there was such glut of the market that local fishermen threw away hundreds of pounds. The sardine factories and curing stations were all overStocked.

 The Dalmation fishing industry has grown rapidly since the war In 1918 the fishermen had practi- cally no equipment and fish were scarce, as great quantities had been destroyed by dept,1 bombs in the war Now there are more than 1900O fishermen, O. ltng 6,000 boats, and catching 6,c0),c00 kilo- grams of fish per annu.I1, worth nearly $1 100000.
