"A. F. L. Faker Blames Misery

which is dominated by the reaction
sry A. F. of l.. misleaders have
only 10000 workers organized.
And now comes Burch, who in
his statement announces that of the
10000 workers $4,000, or more than
half, are unemployed. lie also adj
nits that conditions are even worse
amongst the unorganized workers.
With the characteristic insight
and profundity of the average know
little, or want-to-know-little, labor
Headers" of this city, Burch places
the entire blame on the present
"low' tariff. This, of course, is
rure buncombe.
The textile industry, one of the
most important industries here, is
particularly hard hit, and has been
in a bad way for some time.
But even if the Hoover admins
tration succeeds in raising tariffs
on imported textiles 1000 per cent,
or 100000 per cent, the Philadel-
phia weaver will be in the same boat
he was in before.
Not until he stops working in
open shops, or leaves the present
union, and joins the National Tex
tile Workers Industrial Union, and,
through this real union wages a real
campaign against the local textile
rlutocrats can he hope to better his
condition and remedy such a situa-
ton as now exists here.

1--WE Love Machine Guns"
The following is an extract from
a speech by August Furati, secre-
tary general of the fascist party:
"We love our weapon; it is the
machine gun. It is perfect today
and will be tomorrow also. In the
| future, too, we want to be able to
kneel behind it to feel it's charac-
teristic triggers under our fingers,
to listen to its voice and to feel the
JOY Of moving down our opponents. y
The Cultural Policy.
The following is an extract from
the "Tevere," which is published in
Rome:
present day education is not fas-
cist. 1t may bear the Lictor Bundle
but still it is not fascist. On the
contrary, when it bears the Lictor
Bundle, it is not only not fascist
but it is hypocritical. We must
show courage enough to introduce a
period in which the educational level
will sink. In other words, we must
clean out the universities, irrespec-
tive of the professors and without
consideration to the Lady Education
The result would be the mental i'm
roverishment of the universities
and sinking of the general level
OF education which would last per.
haps for a generation. But what
about it,"

Prada Correspondent Tells
OF the Krassin,s Voyage

A first-hand account of how the
survivors of the Inflated italia"
were rescued in the Arctic wastes
by the heroic crew of the Soviet
icebreaker "The Krassin" is related
by V. Valentinov, correspondent for
the Leningrad Pravda, who was the
official correspondent on board the
rescue ship when she picked up the
lost battalions early last July.
The following are excerpts from
letters written by Valentinov to his
newspaper and indicate the hard
ships and suffering endured by the
Russians in their hazardous under
taking.
Eventually Chuhknovsky, the pilot
of "The Red Bear, takes off in his
search for the Malmgren party who
are reported to be stranded some
where near Seven Islands. The cor
respondent writes:
"The plane grew smaller and
smaller. We climbed an icehill, and
stood there for half an hour,
watching that dwindling spot in the
sky which contained so many hopes.
Everyone was nervous, and pressed
his neighbours hand. Everyone re-
assured everyone else:
"'Our flyers will do their duty.
Our Comrade Chuhknovsky will do
his revolutionary duty

fog closing in. 1t was the same

picked up short messages from

island of Carl XII. Solid ice coming
to an end. Con the Krassin our
hearts began beating faster.)

the Krassin crew from one side, and
by the Italians from the other.)
