as Saporoshe, in other words, sew
eral hundreds of kilometers inland.
The power station, which will lie
about in the middle between the ore
district of Krivoi Rog and the coal
district of the Donetz Basin, will be
the center point of tremendous in
dustrial combination. The next link
in the chain of this tremendous pro-
ject is the building of a foundry
with capacity of $4,000 tons of
cast iron to be manufactured into
high class steel. Upon the basis of
this work network of engineering
factories for the production of agri-
cultural machinery, aeroplanes,
ships, etc, will be built. A further
part of the combination will be the
Dnieprosplav works for the produc-
ton of ferromanganese and other
iron alloys. 1t must be stressed that
the cheap power provided by the
Dnieprostroi will permit tremen-
dous development of the production
of aluminium which needs high
power. Aluminium will thus develop
from an import article into an ex-
port article. The next group of the
combination will consist of a net
work of chernical factories for the
production of artificial fertilizers,
caustic soda and calcium carbide,
etc.
In connection with the regulation
of the Dniepr and the giant dam,
it will be possible to conduct wide
spread agricultural improvements by
irrigating over 100000 hectars of
desert land and by draining about
10000 hectars of marsh land in
the flood district.
The building of the Dnieprostroi
power station and the industrial I'M
dertakinngs connected with it will
demand a great development of the
railway system Donetz-Saporeshe-
Krivoi-Rog and will result in
cheapening of the freight rates.
Projects like the Dnieprostroi,
which is already known far beyond
the frontiers of the Soviet Union,
are a symbol for the tremendous col
lective creative forces of the pro-
letariat and are sign Of the ire
mendous possibilities contained in
the developing socialist economic sys-
tenn, and resulting from the concen-
tration of the means of production
in the hands of the proletarian state
and from the organized conduct of
the economic system. AS the idea
of the Dnieprostroi Power Station
was taken up practically few years
ago into our program of construc-
tim, our enemies abroad thought
that this idea was phantastic. To-
day, however, the international
bourgeoisie can no longer deceive
itself concerning the tremendous UNI
changed economic forces of the pro-
letariat.

LABOR RULE IN
TRINIDAD, B. W. |.
JUST like TORY
Exposing Imperialism
At Work in Colonies

PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad (By
Mail) = The local Gazette" pub
lished in this fortified outpost of
British imperialism in the West In
des, on October 20, published the
rules given importers on movie film
censorship, telling what may NOT
be shown or imported into the island
of Trinidad. Since these rules are
child of the present "labor" gov
eminent, whose colonial secretary is
Sydney Webb, they are of added in
terest.
Under the heading of Military"
scenes barred are: "Officers and
men in British or foreign uniform
shown in disgraceful light" They
may be disgraceful at times, but
mustn't be shown. Then: Horrors
in warfare and realistic scenes of
massacre" Which shows that the
Labor party does not want to dis
courage war.
Under the head of Political" the
following movie scenes are banned:
Propaganda against the Monarchy,
Royal Dynasties" -which is rich
comment on a government of $50
cialists." Then, although it is the
chief method used by British Cor
other) imperialism to enforce it's
domination, scenes are barred of
White men using violence toward
Chinese, Negroes and Indians" That
they actually do use violence is to
be hidden in the order barring:
Reference by word or picture to
any political incidents such as the
Amristar shootings." And, of
course: "Bolshevik propaganda"
The conclusion adds a SAVIOR to
the dish of labor Imperialism, by as
surfing: "The censors in circulating
this information desire to make it
clear that they are not adopting
any new principles, but that they
have been governed in the main by
these standards for some time past, I"
is to say, Macdonald is as
imperialistic as Baldwin.

has received about $4,000 of the
$4,000 needed!
These five men risked their
lives for the workers, they are
only waiting for the opportunity

". A. Bittner, Lewis henchman in
the West Virginia coal fields, has
exposed the NEW" United Mine
Workers as coal company union
in his speech in Usage and Scott's
Run, w. V. He stated, "No strikes!
The coal operators and the miners
must get together in West Virginia
and the wages must be decided by
three coal operators and three
miners"
We know which miners" he
meant; John l.. Lewis, V. A. Bittner,
and some other U.M.W.A. faker.
And what can the miners expect
from this bunch except to pay them
dues to keep them in office at fat
salaries, as the old U.M.W.A. did
with Mitchell?
The miners in Usage can't for
give these takers forGselling them
out. That action further proved to
US here in northern West Virginia
that the U.M.W.A. takers are not
going to and don't want to organize
US in union that will call for bet
ter wages and working conditions.
They are satisfied only with the
wages the coal operators are willing
to pay the miners, and they mean
to have no strikes.
The U.M.W.A. takers are selling
all the barracks and throwing the
miners out, and spending the money
of the West Virginia miners. The
West Virginia miners built and paid
for the barracks, and yet the UNI.
WA. takers are selling them and
spending the money that they get
for the barracks, on themselves.
Does this look like preparation
for fight to better the miners
conditions? l say no!
Only the National Miners Union
can lead the West Virginia miners
to victory in the fight for better
wages and working conditions. West
Virginia miners, join the N.M.U.!
Shake the U.M.W.A., which is con-
trolled by men who sell you out!

which utilities the powerful rapids
near Saporoshe and is known as the
Nnieprostroi Power Station. This
station will commence its work
within the limits of the Five Year
Plan, i.e., up to the year 1931-32.
The size of the undertaking, it's
significance for the whole economic
system of the Soviet Union and in
particular of the Ukraine, the in
teresting combination of far reach
ing economic tasks and projects in
connection with this new hydraulic
power station, has aroused interest
in the Dnieprostroi undertaking
even before its completion far be-
yond the frontiers of the Soviet
Union in the international economic
world.
The extension of the electrical
system of the Soviet Union is not
taking place only upon the basis
of the existing demand. The build
ing of electrical power stations is
naturally favorable places often
formed the commencing point for
new great industrial undertakings
and agricultural projects. This is
also the case with the hydraulic
power station on the Dniepr, which
in its first stage will produce ap-
proximately 100000 HIP. or $4,000

O00H.P. In its totality the Dnie-
prostroi project represents an or
ganically combined whole which will
be the center of tremendous eco
nomic plan. The Dnieprostroi pro-
ject contains the following important
parts;
The central and commencing point
is the hydraulic power station on the
Dniepr rapids near Saporoshe which
is already far progressed. A ire
mendous dam will be built and en-
ormous energy harnessed for the
service of the existing factories and
the factories which are being built
for the lighting of the whole district
in the Donetz Basin and of the ore
district near Krivoi Rog.
The building of this dam will be
connected with the construction of
sluices and locks and with the regu-
lation Of the Dniepr, which will
make the Dniepr navigable from the
towns of its upper part, for instance,

WORKING WOMEN

No Factory Women on
Socialist List

BERLIN, Nov. 14.-Under the
title, "Berlin's Red List" today's
"Rote Fahne' publishes the list of
Communist candidates for the Ber-
lin town council elections on the 18th
of November. Wilhelm PECK heads
the list. The "Rote Fahne" COM
ments:
every third candidate is a rep
resentative Of the working women.
This list is proof of the fact that
the party is really carrying out the
decisions of the sixth world con-
gress of the c. l. and of the We'd
ding congress of the German party
to pay more attention to the work
ing women. The members of
the factory councils head the list of
workers candidates, because they
are the representatives of the revo-
lutionary workers.
"The Representatives of proleta-
rian mass-organizations, particular
ly the prohibited Red Front Fight
ers' League and the Anti-Fascist
Young Guards, are in favorable
places on the list.
"There are 6S candidates on the
social democratic list, and of these
only six women, of whom three are
housewives, one a doctor, one a mu-
nicipal employee and the third clerk.
The list contains not one single rep
resentative of the working women
in the factories! The social demo-
cratic list is composed overwheim-
ingly of officials, company directors,
rectors, tradesmen, lawyers, bust
ness men, ETC."

Of terror is sweeping over Mace

Weles, Schtipp, Kumanovo, Prilep,
Ochrid, Bitalj, and Gewjely, mass
arrests have been taken place. The
police refuse to announce the
names of the arrested persons and
neither lawyers not the families of

them.
In Weles "a persons have been
arrested and news has just come

Three Tours.
The organization department 70
the 7. U. U. L. to assist the new

of the Labor Jury, jointly with the
International Labor Defense. Fol-
lowing the tour of the Labor Jury
will be another by the National Or

tours are correlated, they are not

against the right to organize the

the right of the workers to hold

union that believes in militant
class struggle. This conviction is a
blow agains 1.-THE whole working
class.
The kidnapping and beating up

the smashing of the union and re-

sentence of the court as the con-
viction of Beal and his fellow organ
izers. There is no use crying about
capitalist justice, this is it. The
thing to do is to fight, in order to
fight, we must organize.
No help can be expected from the
A. F. L. bureaucrats, from the lead
ers of the socialist party or the
Music groupl on the contrary they
will in the future, as in the past,
support all struggles against the
militant workers, but we must not
confuse the rank and file members
with the bureaucrats, on the con-
trary we must expose their treacher-
Gus role and break the rank and
file away from them. While there
are shades of differences between
the A. F. L., the socialist party and
the Music group, it is only in words.
The A. F. L. is frankly reaction
airy, the others are just as reac-
tionary but hide under a flood of
radical phrasology.

In the same category can be
placed the Cannons, Lovestones and
Gitlows, who are even more con-
scious in their struggle against the
workers, placing themselves as the
theoreticians of the counter-revolu
tionary forces in America; their at
tacks are launched against the Com
munist Party, the Trade Union
Unity League and the New Unions,
their support given to the Music
group and the A. F. l.. All of these
working class enemies share the re-
sponsibliity with the mill owners and
the state in the conviction in Char.

Only the workers can free the
seven convicted Gastonia case de

who in some form have expressed
