MOSCOW, (By Inprecorr Mail
Service).-A conference has taken
place here to discuss the introduce
ton of the five day week in the fac
tories and institutions of the Soviet
Union. Together with the socialist
competitive scheme the introduction
of the five day week is one OF the
most important factors for the in
crease of the productivity of labor
and the naturalization of the fac
tories.
Three months experience of the
five day working week in number
of factories and institutions have
already led to considerable increases
of production, the reduction of the
costs of production, the improve
ment of the quality of production,
the naturalization of the factories,

Crane Plumbing Supply Manufac-
turing Works here is an open shop,
but there are some jobs controlled
by the American Federation of La
Dor, like fixing leaks in the roof,
which has got to be done by union
men.
How the A. F. of L. works on
jobs like that, is shown by the
fact that if there is shortage of
union men they allow the use of
non-union laborers on the job, but
these have to pay the union 81 for
permit.
The A. F. L. has nothing to do
with the wages. All they care for
is to get the dollar for the permit.
The roofers' union wages are $13.65
day of eight hours. The johnson

for U. S. imperialism. On orders
from his immeriate superiors,
Hoover, Lamont, and the scab-bosses
on the "grand fascist council"
Green attempts to gloss over his
scab, no strike and no wage increase
agreement with the leading bosses
in the country, by saying it is ne
cessary to help capitalism get back
on its feet after the groggy effect
of the sharp crisis.
"he presidents conferences"
says Green, shave been effective in
checking this drift toward pessim-
ism. These conferences recognize
the interdependence of all industrial
and economic groups"
AS an excuse for the part of the
A. F. of L. in the wage-cutting
drive, Green declares that the in
terests of tho workers and their ex-
ploiters are identical. The interests
of the Marion and Gastonia work
ers who We're killed by the mill
thugs and the bosses who hired the
gunner, is the same, says the A. F.
of L. ather than hurt the bosses
profits, Green prefers the workers
to take wage-cuts or accept unem-
ployment to tide the bosses over.
The crisis, as we pointed out here
tofore in the Daily Worker, is as
Stunning sharper forms and will con-
tinue to press harder and harder
on the workers.
Green's statements, together with
those of Hoover, Mellon and La
mont, is intended for mass consump-
ton; sort fsoothing syrup con-
cocted to make wage cuts and I'M
employment easier with Elusive
hopes for the future.
When speaking to one another,
the capitalist economists cast this
slop aside. Says Laurence H. Sloan,
of the Standard Statistics Co.:
IF we ruthlessly cast aside all
the misleading information that
is current, all of the fine words,
all of the whistling in the dark to
keep up ones courage and search
only for the real facts, our deduc-
ton must be that the main trend
of business activity has been
downward for several months past;
that it is probably continuing
downward at the moment, and
that it is likely. to continue at a
relatively low level during the
normally quiet months immedi-
ately ahead"
The great building boom that Hoo
yer dreamed about to tide over times
of crisis has not gone past the
substance that dreams are made OF.
Yet it is such stuff that Green ped
dies to allay the discomfort OF the
great majority of the 2,OOO,0O0
workers in the building and related
trades, who are jobless.
Even the best capitalist trump
eteers, however, recognize that the
building industry presents the black
est appearance of the lot.

A movement recently started ir
Japan to liquidate the Communist
Party. On August s, 1929, three
leaders of the Labor Farmers ALI
ance for Obtaining Political Free
dom, signed a fifty page appeal to
the masses to form new legal La
bor-Farmer Party. In December of
the previous year, these same per-
sons lad made a similar effort. But
the ruling class forbid it and it was
then decided no further effort should
be made.
The appeal was signed by Oyama,
Hososeko, and Kamimura. 1t was
understood that the action at pres
ent was supported by DIR. Hajime
Kawakami, who was ousted previ-
cusly as Professor of Political
Science at the Kyoto University,
much as DR.. Scott Nearing was
years ago in America.
The contents of the pamphlet may
be summarized as follows:
A Re10rmISt Program.
1. The Communist Party of jap
an was virtually annihilated as the
result of the government attack on
April 16, 1929. That it is non-ex-
istent now and will take long time
to re-establish it.
2. This means that the Labor
Farmer Alliance for Obtaining Poll
teal Freedom which is supposed to
be a loose body modified by the C.P.
has lost its leadership.
3. In spite of the capitalist Of
fensive, the rehabilitation of the
masses continues. They need leader
ship.
A. Neither the social democrats,
nor the Japanese Proletarian Mass
Party, can give such leadership. Nor
can the Labor Farmer Alliance in
its present form.
5. 1t is therefore necessary to
form a new legal Labor-Farmer
Party with its own executive at
once.
6. The new government of Ham
aguchi, which replaced the Tanaka
cabinet is more or less liberal. This
may mean the right to form such
a party denied year ago may now
be granted.
Meets Hot Reply.
A storm of denunciation met the
astonished signers of this appeal.
Even the rank and file of the ALL
ance, of which these three signers
were officers, raised a protest. The
National Committee Of the Alliance
objected, the Left Trade Union CEN
ter, the Kyogikai, and other bodies
condemned the proposal. The Kyo-
gikai made the following points in
answer:
1. The Communist Party was
hard hit by the capitalist attack
but it was rot annihilated. The gov
eminent admits it.
2. The Labor Farmer Alliance is
not so loose body as the signers
of the appeal declare.
3. When Comrade Oyama says
that it is necessary to have legal
party with it's own executive, that
means the exclusion of Communist
international leadership.
A. The Hamaguchi government
will not allow these comrades to
form a legal party unless they en-
tirely renounce revolutionary tao
tics.
5. The proletariat does not need
two parties. This is the principle.
And objective conditions in Japan
now do not demand revisal of this
principle.

ALASKA MOURNS ELMER J. WHITE.

One of Alaskas best citizens passed away when Elmer J. White, editor and publisher Of Stroiers Weekly died yesterday morning Mir White came to Alaska in 1898 to join the staff of the Skagway News He had been editor of a newspaper at Sumner Washington and an employee of the Post- office Department at Port Townsend TOT several years Before that for dozen years he had been engaged in newspaper work in Florida AIter two years with the Skagway News he went to Dawson and was engaged in newspaper work there before coming to Whtehorse where he published and edited the Star, a weekly paper, before coming to Douglas in 1915. He editor and publisher oi the Douglas News for few years ana oirector oi publicity for Alaska under appointment rom GoV Riggs He then moved his Douglas paper to Juneau where it became Stroer's Weekly which mas thrived for dozen years He was elected to the Alaska Legislature in 1918 and was Speaker o1 the House at the session of 1919. In 1922 he was the Democratic nominee for Delegate to Congress
 Mir White was of the highest character and journalist of more than ordinary abil- itv He was loyal to his friends and true to his convictions He was an Alaskan in all that the term implies He will be sorely missed by the pioneers who are devotng their abilities to the development of the North.
 The writer had known MT White for nearly four decades and speaks with knowledge when he testi- fies to his loyalty to convictions and his high con- cepts of citizenship and the finer ethics of the profession of journalism E. J. White was gentle man in the full meaning of that word and an authentic newspaper man. He never betrayed friendship or behaved less than gentleman in anything He broad and tolerant, and adhered to the best characteristics of Amercanism. He was of the best we have in citizenship.
 No Alaskan will be mourned more sincerely or missed more deeply than will this good Alaskan and good newspaperman. The sympathy of all in the North in large measure is with the surviving members of his family Their grief is that of everybody

ENGLISH PAPERS TAKE HEARSTS
 SIDE

The late mails bringing English newspapers with from France show that they made a lot more or the incident over there than MT. Hearsts own countrymen have made. British editors printed long accounts of the matter and wrote editorials in their best English Notwithstanding the lack of approval in England of Hearssm and Hearst international policies the London and provincial press generally took the side of MT. Hearst against France Most of the writers praised the hurror of the ironical statement he gave out after reaching England ct is printed with an account of the affair in today's Empre).
 typical English comment is the following from the Manchester Guardian:
 Mir Randolph Hearst has struck so many
 hard knocks himself-rnost of us have not
 forgotten the extraordinary fulmnations of
 his papers this year against the British
 Premier-that he must take it all in his
 game that the French Government should
 have expelled him from France and he has
 certainly made capital out of it by his
 amusing comment his expulsion which
 is model of its kind rebuking France for
 taking him so seriously The outrageous
 has always been the line of MT Hearsts
 rress and republication of its outbursts at critical times when good citizens of all countries were working for peaceful inter- national relationships would make very sad reading But the reader of popular news papers has short memory on both sides of the Atlantic.

He even publishes several magazines here. He has indeed shown sufficient inter est in this country to rescue St. Donats Castle, in Wales, from dissolution and to have stocked it with famous old English glassware, sverware, and furniture. He spent two weeks there in July when the restoration work completed, and intends to come back many times. He is a fre- quent visitor to London where he has many friends.
