was forced to change its course to
get out of the impenetrable fog
through which it had to battle for
the greatest part of the trip and the
pilots wished to check up on their

A cheering throng composed of
every inhabitant of Sitka met She's
takov, Second Pilot Philip Bolotov,
Navigator Boris Sterlingov and
Mechanic Dmitry Fufaev as they
climbed out of the monoplane, and
bevy of girls of Russian descent
presented them with huge bouquet.
The fliers will remain in the Alas
kan city for a day or two in order
to refuel and recondition their plane
and will then take off for Seattle,
the first landing point within the
borders of the U. S. mainland.
After changing the sea floats of
the craft for landing wheels and
replacing broken or outworn parts
with the material forwarded here
from the U. S. S. R., the filters will
proceed to New York by way of
San Francisco and Chicago. Ac-
cording to present plans, several
days will be spent in Seattle, half
a day in San Francisco, one day in
Chicago and four days in New York.
In all of these cities, mass recep-
tions have been arranged by Friends
Of the Soviet Union.
The Land of the Soviets is an

it will be greatly enjoyed by all
murder and mystery play fans. Well
written by Patrick Hamilton and
staged by Reginald Denham, with
competent actors and actresses it

In addition to being an entertain

While several members of the cast
have tendency to occasionally
overact, especially in relation to
their facial expressions, the general
standard of the acting is much above
the average Broadway cast. Ernest
Milton as Rupert Cadell, who I'M

Sebastian Shaw as Brandon and

The Labor Sports Union, a work
ers organization fostering athletic
activities freed from the capitalistic
professionalism, is working for the
freedom of the % Gastonia prison
ers.
The following is letter Clerence
Miller, a member of the Labor
Sports Union andone of the sixteen
Gastonia strikers who will go on
trial next Monday for their lives,
has written to the secretary of the
Labor Sports Union:
Il want to acknowledge through
you a number of greetings that we
received from several of your locals
as well as from your National Con-
vention. The activities that the L.
S. U. is carrying on in our behalf
is sign that your organization has
an important place in the labor
movement.
Company Sports.
"At this time when the bosses in
the South are increasing their at
tack against us, when they are out
to crush our union, there is no ques-
ton that they will resort to COM
pany sports as one of the means
to winning the workers away from
their own union. Already we see in
Elizabethton, Tenn, where the
American Federation of Labor has
sold out the workers, and where
the workers once again are begin
ming to show signs of resistance the
bosses are introducing a company
union and are resorting to company
sports.
"Only on last Labor Day did they
hold celebration in which sport
activity took a dominant position.
In an editorial, in one of the papers,
it was suggested that the American
Legion organize sports for the youth
so as to rescue them from the
clutches Of the Reds
L. S. U. Progressing.
"The fact that in the South the
young workers are so badly under
paid that they cannot afford to buy
any sporting equipment, the fact
that the National Textile Workers
Union, the Youth Section of which
is affiliated to the L.S.U. is making
such wonderful progress in reaching
the workers here, both old and
young, makes it very important for
the L.S.U. to increase its activities
in the South. We are sure the L.
S. U. will within a short time have
a good section in the South.
at is now only few days before
our trial. The bosses have intensi-
fled their fight against us. They are
again resorting to the kind of meth
DDS that they used on the night of
June 7. They have murdered Ella
May Virgins, one of our best union
members, they have kidnapped three
organizers in Gastonia, and one in
Kings Mountain, they have raided
our union headquarters in three
cities. We are sure that their &C.
tion is the result of the increased
influence of the union amongst the
textile workers. This last makes it
almost certain that they will re-
double their efforts to send us to
the electric chair. This danger is
more imminent now than ever be-
fore. The answer of the workers
