MOSCOW, (Dec. Is, By Inprecorr
Mail Service) - Today's "Pravda"
publishes an article by comrade
Bucharin entitled, 1.-THE Technical.
Economic Revolution-the workers
and the Engineers" in which he
deals with the socialist competitive
scheme, the introduction of the five
day working week, the organiza.
ton of the gigantic soviet agricul-
tural undertakings, the collectivisa-
Of agriculture, ETC., as new forms
of the creative activity of the mas
SEES making for the radical trans
formation of the basis of the old
society.
Towards the conclusion OF this
article comrade Bucharin declares
that formerly he held wrong
opinions concerning the ways and
means of guaranteeing a sufficient
speed Of economic development in
the present historical period.
at has been shown that the party
was right. The party and its Cen
trail Committee were justified when
they criticised a number Of my
opinions expressed in my pamphlet,
"The Way to Socialism," in "The
Notes Of an Economist" in "The
Political Heritage of Lenin" and in
my utterances at the recent plenary
session of the Central Committee
Documents and Speeches).
"The Central Committee Of the
party was right when it raised the
question of the radical transforma-
ton of the old economic forms in
the village. The development of
this policy is indissolubly connected
with merciless struggle against
the r & h t wing deviation and
against the conciliatory attitude to-
wards it. The general policy of the
party has stood the test and proved
its correctness"

Moscow. {Dec. 1T.--By Tnpre-
corr Mail Service)-The sixth ses-
sion of the Executive Bureau Of the
Red International of Labour Unions
was opened yesterday. Inter ala,
the session will deal with the re-
suits Of the struggle of the inter-
nationa. revolutionary trade union
movement since the fourth congress
OF the R.1.L.U.
In an article dealing with tho
session the "Pravda" points out that
the period under review is ricn in
gigantic class struggles and ex-
periences. The period confirms the
analysis of the situation given at
the fourth congress of the R.I.LU.
and shows how correct was the in
sistence of that congress upon the
leadership of wage struggles indie
pendent of and against the refor-
mist leaders.
The sixth plenary session will pay
special attention to the preparation
Of the fifth congress of the R.I.L.U.
which will coincide with the tenth
anniversary of the existence CT the
RfL.U.
In later session of the Fxecu-
tive Bureau Of the Red Interna.

cussion upon the speeches of COM
rades Merker and Losovsk1 was
continued.
Comrade Heller dealt with the
situation Of the revolutionary trade
union movement in the colonial
countries and in particular with the
strikes Of the textile workers in
Bombay and of the jute workers in
Calcutta in 1928/29.
A World Crisis
Comrade Rubinstein (R.IL.U.)
analysed the growing crisis in the
capitalist world. A depression COM

and with the American exchange
crash capitalism entered into a
period of acute crisis. The crisis
meant the collapse of the reformist-
opportunist conception of COR
ganized capitalism"

(By worker correspondent.
DETROIT, Jan. 10.-While many
Of us are unemployed and some
working only part time we read that
Edsel has built for himself a new
yacht that will cost 100000. This
yacht was already destroyed and
we suppose that he will therefore
build a bigger one. This was only
a Cheap" boat as compared to Hen

Then Walter Briggs also has a
million-dollar yacht which is similar
to Sloan's and Fred. Fishers of G..

Just why the working class should
worry over such sordid things as I'M

can understand.

157 furnances in blast. Now there
are ITO.
The crisis is not limited to the
steel industry alone. 1t is severe
in the automobile industry, rubber,
coal, oil, building and textiles. In
all of these industries we find the
same growing unemploy-
ment and wage cuts.
In the textile industry the crisis
is especially severe. While steel
touched SO per cent of capacity,
some textile mills have dropped to
80 per cent. The Journal of Com
merce reports (January y marrow
sheeting mills together showed a re-
duction of approximately 70 per
cent from their normal running
time"

The = no question but that the
Youngstown age cut in the prim-
airy steel industry is the signal for
similar wage cuts among the 1,000,-
900 stec' -"orkers in all parts of the
country. Wage cuts have been
slapped against workers in many
industries already. These will be
further cut under the inspiration of
the steel bosses.
Why have the bosses stated this
wage cutting drive in the steel ip-
dustry in Youngstown? This is the
oldest section of the industry, and
an attempt is being made with the
installation of new machinery to
squeeze more profits out of the
workers in order to keep up with
the newer centers in Gary and Birm-
ingham. But the wage cuts will
rapidly spread to these other points
when the bosses are able to lower
their wages in Youngstown. The
sharp competition among them and
the reduction in steel prices will
make the wage cuts general. Only
sharp resistance by the workers
can stop these smashing attacks of
tie bosses.
Tremendous efforts are being ex-
erted by the capitalists to push up
steel production, but the crisis con-
tinues severe in this basic industry.
Steel production by the leading
steel trust is down to so per cent
of capicity. Independent steel comp
anies are running around 80 to IS
per cent. The capitalist press auda-
ciously announce this fact as indi-
cations of revival because at the
lowest point steel production touched
SO per cent. Certainly these are slim
straws to grasp at. In 1928 at pre-
cisely this time U. S. Steel Corp.
was running at 81 per cent; 1880
shows a drop of 20 per cent; and
the independents were operating at
81 per cent-this year they have
dropped nearly 80 per cent.

CUT 'EM OUT BOYS

Henry O'Malley again gave hi Fingly blessing to resident fish ermen-this time it is the gill. retter who is on the receiving end and who pays for "conser- vation" of salmon. Rather, we would say for the conservation of trap gear and operations.
 Circular No. 251, 18th edition issued under date of December 19, 1929, together with subse- quent regulations, are hereby amended by the following regu- lations":
 General Regulations Effective
 In All Areas
 Salmon f1sherieS-1. No gillne' shall include any webbing othel than a single sheet hung be tween the cork and lead lines.
 2. The use of any tramme net, diver net, or so-called "com tination net" is prohibited.
 8. No gill net shall be used ir any form of seining operations
 What are seining operations Is making a circle around school of salmon distinctly "seining" operation? Is it legal to make a round set With a gil net? Is gillnetting permitted in any and all areas, or it it per mitted only in the large river areas? Can the gillnet be used to catch humpies, dogs and CO., hoes? Must a gill net be set only in a straight line?
 Frankly this publication knows less about this regulation the more thought it gives to it. Per haps the fishermen and business men interested can give satis- factory explanation of the regu- lation. l

MAKE TT THE SAME ALL OVER
 ALASKA

Herring fishing in the Alaska Peninsula and Aleutian Island areas this year is limited to gill nets of 312 inch mesh, stretched measure. ..
 This prohibition is an indirect curtallment of reduction oper- atiOns in those areas. It is a de- monstrated fact that reduction plants cannot operate on herring caught in gillnets.
 This prohibition further indi- cates that Henry O'Malley has gotten cold feet and is uneasy over the conditions which during the past two years have endan- gered the westward supply of herring. The depletion of her ring in Southeastern Alaska had caused change of operations to the Westward.
 Heretofore MT. O'Malley has placed himself on record as be- in" unable to curtail reduction plant operations because there was no law to govern" He now brands himself as being reckless in his handling of the truth 2 more gentlemanly term for a

ANOTHER FISH AUTHORITY

1 MT. Jermane, associate editor
 of the Seattle Times sets himself
 up as another authority on fish
 cries of Alaska, Washington and Canada, incidentally he hands
 to the King of Alaska, Henry
 O'Malley, several bouquets that lsound like they were writtenby cid Hank himself.
 l A signed article dealing with inc salmon treaty between the United States and Canada was the idea which fathered the ar .icle. According to Mir. Jermane whether the sockeye fisheries is to survive or perish is left largely to the discretion of the cannerymen of Washington
 Copies of the treaty are being studied by the Cannerymen's Association of Washington State.
 First negotiations for the con- trol of the sockeye fisheries in he Fraser River Basin, which in- cludes Washington coastal plain, was begun back in 1908 when the Canadians first appreciated the fact that their fisheries were on a down grade in production.
 Treaty after treaty was pre- pared and presented each gov ernment for consideration-the American government never did succeed in even getting favorable report on each treaty from the Committee on Marine and Fish cries; the Canadians have passed every treaty and then had to res l ,ind it's action upon failure of he American government to ac- 'ept the treaty.
 The present treaty provides for establishment of an information I fisheries commission of six members, three from the United tates and three from Canada he commission is granted ex-

WHAT THE FISHING
 INDUSTRY NEEDS

What the fishing problem ir Alaska needs is a thorough in vstigation by an impartial group of men of judgment and fair ness.
 We do not concede that any Investigation made by the De- partment of Commerce of one o1 It's own branches worth two cents on a thousand dollars. Any in- veStigation of charges against the Bureau of Fisheries is refer red back to the Bureau of Fish cries; and they, past masters al the art of peddling propagande far from the truth, in their Slimy smooth way prove to the satls- faction of the Secretary of Com merce that all charges agains the Bureau of Fisheries and it. officials are but the charges O irresponsible radicals"
 If an investigation is conduct, ed, and this publication invite an honest one, let it be madt from evidence presented by mer of Alaska who owe no allegiance to any bureau for their jobs O for anything else; let the find ings be published as unvarniSh- ed truth.

 What is good for the Vest yard in the line Of restrictions is also good for the First Divi- sion.

The Alaska of the future holds much of promise and this Northland of ours will Someday take it's place as the 49th star in the flag of our Union" Hip! Hip! Hooray! The 49th star. Right now Alaskans are seing mostly 49OO stars from the cracks they have received at the hand of the Forest Depart ment; the Bureau of Fisheries land what not.
 Why
 With two National Forest,
 pictured py Mr. Flory as having so much timber, why is it that virtually every sawmill in the 1ountry is today bankrupt?
 Why is it that where therc were more than two dozen crew, logging for Wrangell and Pc tersburg back in the early 1900's today there are not more thal i've outfits in the field?
 Did you know that if you ask ad for permit to log piling on 9 certain area, that MT. Flory's department would force you tc take out the hemlock and spruce in that area, EVEN if you had no market for that timber? Or
 that if you had permit or another area to log off the spruce r. you would also have to take out
 hemlock and piling EVEN if you had no market for piling or
 hemlock.
 That is the bureaucratic way l of developing a drive resident small operators out of the game-give vast timber areas away as inducements to pulp concerns to come in. Impoverish local saWmills by regulations in the cutting of timber which does not permit operation of the mills except at prohibitive costs and thereby eliminate them from competitive markets in the vari- ouS fields. The timber is cheap alright-to the pulp concerns which are invited to the Terri tory-but mighty expensive to resident business.
 This publication does not op- 1ose entrance of pulp concerns into the Territory-on the same basis with the mills, but it is op- posed to the petty tyranny that has driven and is driving resi- lent loggers and mill men out of business.

tensive regulatory powers over the fisheries in national and ter ritorial waters and over fishing for sockeye by American and Ca nadian fishermen on portions of the high seas.
 The commission will make a thorough investigation into the history of the sockeye salmon and it is authorized to construct and maintain hatcheries. It will Ihave the power to prescribe the size of the meshes and fishing gear and appliances that may be rsed in the convention waters. The life of the treaty is sixteen years, after which it is subject tC termination on notice of one year by the government of either
 country.
 Fact and Fiction "Ten years ago it became ap- parent that the salmon fisheries of the North Pacific were to mee.

 both the oceans and the rivers were dotted with cannerjes, but
 in the course of years the fisher
 ies were destroyed because the ,almon were unable to prora ? gate
