PARK BOARD PLANS
 SPRING ACTIVITY
Will Meet Tuesday Night to Dis
 cuSs Important Projects

Action towards opening up some of the spring work m the parks IS expected following a notice of special meeting of the board of park commissioners issued today by Judge William r. Mangan, chairman of the park commission.
 Judge Mangan has called spe- cial meeting of the board for Tucs- day evening at o'clock at which time several questions relative 10 spring activities will be discussed Councilman Joseph Mlynarski chairman of the committee on q wading pool for the Washington school grounds, and Alderman J. Gustave Johnson, chairman Of the : committee on the purchase of a plot of ground in the East End for park purposes, have been invited to meet with the board.
 The matter of obtaining tho money voted by the common coun- ~cil for the above purposes will be discussed at that time.
 Chairman Mangan also expects to bring up for discussion the pro- posed memorial entrance to Walnut Hill park. Various things have en- tered into the delay in getting started on this work, but it is be- lieved the Hayes Construction con- pany is prepared to start within flew days.
 Mayor A. M. Paoncssa was in communication with Matthew J, Hayes. president and treasurer of the Hayes Construction company, recently and informed the latter that the frost now is all out Of the ground and there is nothing to pre- vent going ahead. He feels that the job will take about 20 laborers from the municipal labor bureau, which will help relieve the unemployment situation.
 City Engineer Philip A. Merriam has almost completed the figures on the highway plans through the pro- posed municipal golf course. He re- ports that while accurate figures are not yet available it appears that the change desired by the golf commit tee and the park board will be slightly more expensive due to the fact that it will be necessary to cut through some rock. Mayor PaoneSsa believes this extra expense will be offset by the fact that the change will eliminate the necessity of de- molshing or removing a house. 1t is believed Highway Commissioner John A. Macdonald is favorable to the proposed change. which will save several hundred feet for the golf course.

Akron, O., March II P}--LuXuries of the kind found on ocean liners arc being built into two new dirig- ibles here for the Pacific Transport Zeppelin corporation.
 The dirigibles arc expected 10 be- gin regular flight schedules across the Pacific in 193@.
 Interiors of these ships, as proph- csied by the designs. will be much like a modern club, possibly on the theory that fear is q barbarous emo- ton and sophisticated surroundings will conquer it.
 Passenger accommodation will be entirely within the hull. This makes possible many comfort pro- visions which are not possible where cabins are suspended from the out side.
New Britain herald., 1930-03-14

There will be 12,0O0 feet of deck space on each ship, which will carry approximately 100 persons. Designs include promcnades, equipped with comfortable window seats through which passengers may look straight down through slanting windows: lounges, q dining saloon and smok- ing rooms, besides large, comfort able staterooms, equipped with berths, dressing table, chairs and desk.
 Carrying passengers inside the hull instead of outside is made pos sible chiefly by the use of non-com- bustible helium gas, which ehml- mates much of the danger of fire.
 Danger from lightning is also largely eliminated, both by use of the non -inflammablc gas, and by

MusteitesSell Out Hosiery Workers

workers of New England, Paterson, and the
South they are rapidly turning away from the
tratorous A F. of L. and waking up to the
fact that only the National Textile Workers
Union, the textile section of the Trade Union
Unity League, is capable of leading them In
the coming struggle against the manufacturers
and their allies, the officials OF the U. L. W.
and the Musteites The Kensington workers
especially realize that the only program upon
which they can hope to wage a successful strug-
gle against naturalization, wage-cuts, ever-ln-
creasing exploitation, and for genuine unem-
ployment relief is the revolutionary class strug-
gle program of the National Textile Workers
Union and the Trade Union Unity League. The
young workers especially, who are hardest hit
by the economic crisis and by the sell-out OF
the Full Fashioned officialdom, find in the
youth section of the National Textile Workers
Union their only organizer and leader in the
struggle against discrimination and for better
conditions.
What To Do Now.
There is not much time left before September
/. What must the hosiery workers do? They
must Immediately begin preparations for strike
action. The strikes that will undoubtedly break
out this Fall will be defeated unless spread to
all the mills and led by very broad rank
and file strike committee on basis of militant
mass action.
broad united front, based on the mills, of
all militant organized and unorganized work
ers, members of the federation and the Ma
tional Textile Workers Union, must at once
be formed. The unemployed workers must be
nclu led in this united front, which must raise
the unemployed program of the Trade Union
Unity League adopted at the Chicago I'm
employment Convention.
United front committees of action must be
set up in the union and non-union mills. These
committees must especially include young
workers and women. Powerful workers defense
groups must be organized to combat the organ
lied gangsterism of the officialdom.
Part of Class War.
The struggle of the hosiery workers is part
of the general struggle of the textile workers
which is led by the National Textile Workers
Union. This attack by the bosses and the sell
out of the Federation officials is part of the
general attack of the capitalists and its ac-
companying sell-out maneuvers of the A. F. of
L. in the entire textile inlustry. 1t is not me
rely a wage-cut that confronts the hosiery
workers, as well as all textile workers. 1t is
wholesale campaign of the capitalist class
to reduce to starvation levels the standard of
living of the working class.
The hosiery workers must unite their i'm
pending struggle with the general struggle OF
the working class against capitalist exploita
ton. They must throw overheard the REEVES
| Smiths, McKeowns, Holdermans, and the U. T
W. takers. The fighting program of the Ma
tional Textile Workers Union, the Communis
| Party program Of class against class, provide
| the only road to victory for the hosiery work
| ers.

the capitalists, on the contrary, the increased
needs (the buying powers) of the masses can
not keep pace with the growth of production,
but lag continually behind, condemning pro-

This is the reason why among the capitalists
the workers strike and demonstrate, and or
ganize the revolutionary struggle against the
existing capitalist power, whilst in the Soviet
Union we see millions of workers and peasants
competing with one another, and ready to pro-
tect the Soviet Union with their bodies.
This is the reason of the stability, of the
consolidation of the inner situation of the So
Wet Union, and of the instability and uncer-
tanty of the inner situation of the capitalist

The last few years have been a period of
practical test. period of trial of two opposing
systems of economy. the Soviet and the cap
italist system. During these years there has
been no lack of prophecies on the decline" and
Collapse" of the Soviet system. And more
than this, many paens have been sung on the
prosperity" of capitalism. And what is the
true state of affairs? These last few years
have shown once more that the capitalist eco
nomic system is bankrupt, and that the So
Wet system possesses advantages of which no
bourgeois state, even though it be democrat
ic," peoples" state, and so forth, can even
dream of.
the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, in
May, 1921, said
cat the present time we exercise our nflu-
ence over the international revolution chiefly
through our economic policy. All the workers
in all the countries in the world, without
exception and without exaggeration, are to-
day looking towards the Soviet Union. This
has been attained. The capitalists can no
longer cloak our existence in silence, can no
longer conceal anything. Therefore they seek
above all to discover our economic faults and
our weaknesses. In this field the struggle
is already being carried on on a world scale.
If we solve this task, then we have won
quite certainly and finally on an interna-
tional scale" (Vol. VIII. LIST part p. 222,
Russian)
1t must be admitted that the Party is sue
cessfully fulfilling the task set it by Lenin.

First international Conference of
Negro Workers

America (miners, railway workers, needle
trades, etc. and delegates from Jamaica, Nj
geria, Gambia Sierra Leone, the Gold Coast
and from the former German colony of Cam
Groom, well a white delegate from the
South African Negro workers organizations.
Owing to the absence of representation from
the French colonies, from East Africa, from
the Belgian and Portuguese territories, and
from the Latin American countries II was ~
vious that this first meeting of Negro workers
was more a preparatory conference, the polit-
ical Importance of which is none the less very
considerable. The very fact that such a CON
ference was held and the clear line of policy
and action laid down the resolutions are
bound to have strong influence upon the de-
velopment of the struggle.
Conference Agenda.
The agenda of the conference included all the
important aspects of the problem. After mes
sages of solidarity had been personally deliv-
cred by the fraternal delegates of the League
Against Imperialism and he International Red
Aid and letters and kilograms had been read
from the Red international of Labor Unions,
from the Red Sport International, from the
Proletarian Congress of Labor, Manila, ETC., a
comprehensive report on the work of the In
ternational Committee during the eleven
months of its existence was made by James w.
Ford, showing the great difficulties met with
in getting into touch with the Negro workers
in most parts of Africa, well as the sue
cesses achieved by the organizers in the short
time at their disposal
The various delegates dealt with the condi-
tons of the Negro workers in their respective
countries, special interest attaching to tho
report made by Small on behalf of the Bath
urst Trade Union, which had conducted
valiant fight at the end of the last year against
the Margarine Combine.
A very clear and instructive statement was
made by George Padmore of the Negro Trade
Union Committee of the r. l. l.. IT, on the
Economic struggles and tasks Of the Negro
workers."
He summed up the effects of mperialist ex
plotation on the condition of the Negro masses;
pointed out that the mass struggles of the
millions of super-exploited Negroes in Africa
end America against the imperialist offensive
(South Africa, Nigeria, Gambia, Equatorial
Africa, Haiti, the West Indies and the u. s. A.
conceded with the revolt of other colonial peo-
pies India, Indo- China, etc. AMI with the
revolutionary movement of the proleiariat in
the capitalist countries; warned the workers
against the national repression of the Negro
middle class and intelligen STA; drew attention

addition he receives rs per cent of his regular
wage if he is married and so per cent if he IS
single.
Every producing organization or mine pays
annually a sum equal to about ID per cent OF
the total payroll for these forms of social IN
surance, including the free medical service
sick benefit funds, unemployment and old age
insurance. Such social insurance for mine
workers is unknown in capitalist United States
Housing is free for workers in the Soviet
coal fields, or the charge for rent is so small
as to be merely nominal payment Electric
light, fuel and other municipal services are en-
tirely free. Working clothes, boots tools, caps
etc., are supplied free of charge at very
low rate. Restaurants subsidized by the adj
ministration supply food at low prices. Clubs,
nurseries and schools are also supported by the
administration. The Workers Club, for in
stance, at Stain Coal Mines in the Donetz
Basin, is a fine modern building, with many
large windows giving light and air in the halls
and recreation rooms,
Even conservatively estimated, these add
tional benefits received by Soviet miners
amount to no less than so per cent of their
money wages This brings the average daily
wages for face miners to six rubles ($3) a
day, or about so cents an hour Contrasted
with the terrible uncertainty of unemployment,
part time work and illness in American mines,
this regular wage makes the Soviet miner a
free man.
Every miner in the Soviet Union belongs to
the Mine Workers Union He cannot be dis
charged from the mine without due cause.
Often workers who have been discharged are

The miner gets his Job through the free gov

free to leave his job at any time. Final au-

perialist countries, the resolution shows the
growing danger of war and of an imperialist
attack on the Soviet Union. 1t points out
that Gin case of such an attack it is the task
of all Negro toilers to struggle on the side of
the Soviet Union against the imperialists."
Special resolutions were passed against
lynchng, against the white terror in Ala
bama GU. S. AZ, protesting against the Mac
Donald government for refusing permission to
hold the conference in London and against the
South African and other governments for re-
fusal to grant passports.

millions of toiling peasants. These facts were

mously adopted
Patterson, Of the American Negro Labor
Congress, made an appeal for more "vigor-
Gus struggle against forcel labor and poll
tax" He warned the Negro workers against
the legislative Illusions deliberately created by
the League of Nations and the international
Labor Office and called upon them to resort
to direct action to recover their lands, refuse
to pay taxes OF rent, repudate indentures to
fight against the pass" and the compound"
system, to fight against their tribal chiefs who
are AGENTS of Imperialism, etc.
Very important at the present moment is
the resolution on he "War Danger and its sig
nifcance to the Negro masses" presented by

of Nigeria. After pointing out how black
