BRITISH BOSSES
SQUABBLE ON HOW
TO WAR ON USSR
Liberal Speaker Says
Canada Dumps

LONDON, England, Nov 27.-Wed-
nesday the House of Commons re-
jected by a majority of IS the con-
sentative party's motion to cenSure
the cabinet for not doing anything
against Soviet Dumping" The gen.
eral program of preparation for war
on the Soviet Union which conserva-
tive, liberal and labor parties have
in common is complicated now by
party struggles. The conserva-
tive party, with large percentage OF
its backing from the landowners of
England wants the emphasis to go
on Soviet dumping Of wheat" An
embargo on wheat imports would be
big thing for the estates of the
dukes.
The labor party chiefs do not care
to come out openly for higher prices
of bread by means of an anti-Soviet
embargo. The liberals are divided
and doubtful as to whether they dare
stand for higher prices of bread, since
they represent especially the manu-
featuring interests. And if there is
to be embargo they want the imports
from their new rivals, the British
dominions, and Argentina taken into
account. During the debate the Of
fetal spokesman of the liberal party,
Sir David MacLean, pointed out that
Soviet dumping is not proved, and II
the present wheat sales by the U. S.
S. R. can be called dumping, then
one must admit that there is five
times as much Canadian dumping
and twice as much Argentinian
dumping, to say nothing of U. S.
dumping!
The London Daily Mail continues
it's provocation. After the denial by
Soviet Ambassador Sokolnikoff that
he was "in bad" with the Moscow
government and had imprisoned in
the embassy G.. P. u. agents sent to
take him back to Moscow, the Daily
Mail repeats its crazy charge, and
shouts out lot of vague accusations
that sinister gatherings" of Soviet
police agents" are held in European
cities to remove Soviet officials work.
ing abroad in embassies and trade
organizations.
European experts fear that the U.
S. government does not intend seri-
ously to go ahead with the embargo
plans provided for in the Mellon Or
ders of two days ago. They point out
that purchases in the United States
by the Soviet government are five
times greater than Soviet sales in
the United States.

In answer to the discovery of the

GREAT INITIATIVE

exhausted, tainted on 33th Street and

was expressed among the workers.
One worker exclaimed Mayor

and examined her and proclaimed
her very i'll from starvation. She was
taken to New York Hospital.
Later in the afternoon, walking

CENTURY METAL
WORKERS DRIVEN
WITHOUT MERCY
Wages Down to Starv-
alton Level
(By a Worker Correspondent)

ST. LOUIS. Mo-Condition in the
Century are getting unbearable. The
bosses don't know what to do next in
order to make more money on us.
They are cutting wages continually,
directly and indirectly. In short,
they are simply skinning us.
Just now they again gave us a
notice that from the first of Deem
Der they are going to dock off the
bonus we used to get.
After December 1st we will work
ten hours less a week. Besides they
are introducing the stagger system
About 300 work two days less in a
week at a time.
Means Hunger.
This means that those of us who
were getting the wages of $40 week,
will hardly get $14 now.
Besides cutting wages and speed
ing us up, they terrorize us every
way possible. They want us to work
like slaves. Should we open our
mouths, they let us know that there
are thousands of workers out of jobs.
This is what they slam at us at
every opportune moment "Out of a
job" Lose your job" They have
flooded the whole plant with posters,
Don't let carelessness cost you your
job" That means if any one is in
jured, he will not get insurance, but
will lose his job.
Bosses Charity.
We also were let known in clever
ways that if we did not contribute to
the Community Fund" we would
lose our jobs. We workers, who are
not responsible for the unemploy-
ment and the misery and starvation
that goes with it, are compelled to
pay for it by contributing to the
Community Fund" which even then
does not go to the workers who are
out of job. The money collected
for the Community Fund, is divided
to 81 organizations, as the Boy
Scouts and the Girl Scouts get $751;
$40. The Y. M. G. A. and Y. w. G. a.,
get $203,9 Red Cross $83,612. Three
religious organizations get $47,083.
Must Organize.
The company is using the unem-
ployment situation existing now in
order to reduce our wages to a star
walton level. "''- .'..'..'.t
What are we going to do about it?
Submit to the greedy exploitation OF
the bosses or resist this wage-cutting
campaign? The only thing that is
left for us to do is to, organize and
fight against wage cuts in any form

ECONOMIC CRISIS TAKES SHARPER -

Gable Reports Tell of Growing Unemployment

Italy Takes Measures for War; Australian job
less Grow; Business Way Down

Throughout the world the econo-
mic crisis is assuming blacker as
poets. Gable reports to the U. S.
Department of Commerce, which try
to be as optimistic as possible, clearly
show by the latest facts that world
capitalism is entering sharper phases
of the crisis, complicated in many
countries by revolutions and political
Smash-upS.
1t is not possible here to give all
the details, but short quotations from
some of the leading capitalist and
colonial countries, issued on Noyem-
Der 90, by the Department Of Com
merce, will give an idea of the course
of the crisis:
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS in Mo-
vember continued to be depressed
and business dull. There has been
drop Of about 40 percent in all ex-
ports from Argentina.
AUSTRALIA - Business In Aus
tralia reflects a growing pessimism
as trade continues to slump. Build
ing operations decline. At Sydney
building permits issued in october
dropped 81 1-2 per cent below last
year. The unemployment situation
remains acute. There are 10000
jobless, as compared to 10000 at the
end of 1928.
BOLIVIA.-The general restriction
of business in Bolivia has become
more severe. Both imports and ex-
ports have declined heavily. There
is also financial crisis in Bolivia,
with the currency dropping fast.
BRAZIL - Unemployment is in
creasing, especially in Sac Paulo (the
leading industrial city). Currency is
dropping. The crisis in the coffee in
dustry is getting worse all the time.
CANADA - Manufacturing and
trade in the Dominion have shown
little improvement in the week ended
Nov. %, business generally being de-
pressed by low wheat prices.
In Ecuador, Haiti, Honduras, bust
ness is reported as SLOW" with the
basic products of these countries,
coffee, sugar, fruit, suffering from
continued lowering of prices, ....
ITALY-As the crisis develops,
Mussolini is preparing industry for
war According to a royal decree
published on November 81 (and not
mentioned in the capitalist press) the
Italian government is authorized to
declare from time to time that GER
tain categories of industry are essen
tial for national defense.
JAPAN-Markets in Japan con-
tinue dull with little improvement
anticipated.
MEXICO-Both sales and collec-
tons are hard hit by the heavy dis
count on silver pesos against gold.

Conditions among the workers are
deplorable. I was talking to a work

the new change in hours they are
about to make there by putting all
the employees on hours per day so
as to give more people work. He
said that it would suit him alright
for they had speeded them up so that
six hours at a time was all that a

Years OF Soviet
Rule IN CYlneQ

MOSCOW.-Ten years have passed
since the Red Army stormed the bat
tie neck of Perikop and swept Wran-
gel and his men out the Crimea. In
dustry in the Crimea has made great
progress in these 10 years. In 1880
the total production was over twice
that of 1914. In 1881 the production
will be doubled. In addition, the
heavy industrial sector is rapidly
gaining Importance in the whole in
dustry. The capacity of the power
stations in the Crimea is double that
of before the war. The building OF
the foundry in Kertch is now COM
pleted. In 1881 start will be made
to exploit the third largest iron ore
field in the world which is situated
near Kertch. Two new factories for
canning will be erected next year, one
in Feodosia and the other in Kertch
| By the end of the Five-Year Plan
three more will be built.
The collectivization of agriculture
in the Crimea is proceeding rapidly
About so percent of the land is col
lectivized. In addition there are IS
Soviet farms with total area of $780,
900 hectares. The total area under
seed is much greater than before the
war (840,o0o hectares now as COM
pared with 100000 before the war;
The progress of the cultural revo-
luton is also very satisfactory. Many
high schools and technical colleges
have been opened. A medical col.
lege, a number of hospitals and many
schools have also been built. Specia!
efforts are being made to raise the
cultural level of the Tartars, and a
special publishing house issues great
quantities of literature in the Tartar
language. A National Tartar The

The various nationalities in the Cri-
