Accord Between Soviet
and Britain Implies No
Change in imperialism

LEWES, Eng, Oct. 10.-(UP).
Representatives of Great Britain
and Soviet Russia reached as agree
ment today looking toward resump-
ton of relations between the two
countries. 1t was understood the
agreement must be approved by
parliament before becoming opera
tive.
Editorial Note: No illusion should
be entertained that any resumption
of relations with the Soviet Union
means that British imperialism has
slackened its war plans against the
Soviet Union. The maneuver was
needed at this moment when the
Labor Party leaders face critical
situation at the British Conference,
but Ramsay MaeDonald's visit to
Hoover is known to be designed to
reach an accord, not for world peace
but for wrld imperialist war on the
Soviet Union.

BERLIN, Germany, Oct. 10.-The
Sklarek scandal, involving the ma
yor of Berlni in graft, continues to
grow. The borugeoisie press pub
fishes a statement of Lehman, the
arrested bookkeeper of the Sklarek
firm, stating that the fur coat given
as bride to the wife of Mayor
Boess Of Berlin was sent by the
Sklarek firm mad that the transac-
ton was sale, for which 400 marks
was to be paid.
Actually, the fur coat was order
ed by the Sklarek outfit from the
most elegant furriers, and cost about
1000 marks. Boess hasn't even paid
the bill of 400 so far.
Hid Friends Graft.
The Rote Fahne, Communist or
gan, publishes a sensational dis
closure that weeks before the dis
covery of the Sklarek swindle, the

The success of the grain collection

You know, fellow workers, about

been steadily forced upon us to such
an extent that we are not getting
even an hours rest for lunch and

You know we are being cheated
out of overtime pay whcih we are
supposed to get, because we are not
permitted to keep our own time re-
cord. Our time is punched by the

about 2l5 hours, thus fixing the
time so tina THE company does not

Of the cutters on Aug. 3rd gave a
little victory to them. But because
the other departments did not strike
with them and we failed to complete
an organization they are now, after
few weeks time losing what they
gained by their strike.
Seven truck drivers who walked
out in support of the cutters strike
were fired. Were you glad to see
your friends thrown out? Of course
not. Then why permit this?

the bosses have to give in quickly
during the busy season when expert
