PHILADELPHIA, July licked"
- Chocolate, the polished ebony

on a modest pedestal, a cham

king Of the junior lightweights.
The slender, grinning Havana news

Benny Bass of Philadelphia, before
$4,000 OF the home folks in the National
League ball park last night, to rise to
the championship heights that had been
forecast for him ever since he arrived
In New York from Cuba three years
ago. 1t isn't much of championship,
synthetic title at best. but it eased
in part much of the disappointment
that had been the Patent Leather
"Keeds" in shooting for the greater
crowns Of fistiana in his short but bril-
liant career.
Chocolate was a champion last night
of almost any of the lighter classes, as
he put together all his speed. skill and
punching powers to hammer Bass for
seconds short of seven rounds, slash
him about the face, mouth and nose
and finally cut his left eyelid so badly
with crashing rights that Referee Leo
Houck stopped the one-sided duel after
2:58 Of the seventh.
In only the fourth round was Bass
able to reach Chocolate with his looping
left hooks to the body. In every other
session but the first, which was even,
he took a smashing.
Chocolate weighed 1851 pounds. we'll
within the featherweight limit while
Bass. at 1884,. was just short of the
Junior lightweight limit of 100 pounds.

In order further to meet the dc
mand for highly skilled workers
is intended in the year 1881 to re
train 100000 adult workers in f.
factories and place them on skille
work. Further, 100000 highly ski
led workers must be promoted
leading positions. Tens of Thousand
of workers are studying in the tecf
nical, vocational and high school
and in the course of the year wi
take over leading functions in ir
dustry as qualified technicians ali
engineers.
In addition, in the year 1913
100000 apprentice swill be traine
in the factory schools. Thousand
Of foreign expert workers are a.,
ready working in the factories a.
workshops of the Soviet Union ar
assisting in the work of social
construction.
The great successes in this spher
are one of the heaviest blows whic
the Soviet Union has dealt worl
capitalism. They show the workir
class of the whole world that on
under a socialist economic systel
it is possible to introduce planne
organization of work and thcret

employment.

will be engaged. The number of
workers and employees will increase
from Ia million in the year 1880
to 16 million in the year 1881.
One of the most important social
political measures of the Soviet
Power was the decree regarding the
introduction Of the seven-hour day
issued on the tenth anniversary of
the October Revolution (192D. The
going over to the seven-hour day
could only take place gradually with
the adaptation Of the old factories
and works, whilst the newly erected
factories are Immediately commen-
cling to work the seven-hour day.
Up to 1890, so per cent of the work
ers in the State big industry went
over to the seven-hour day, and in
1881 the whole of the workers in
the State big industry will be work
ing the seven-hour day.
Another important measure was
the introduction of the five day
week. By this measure the num-
Der of rest days was increased, the
health of the workers was greatly
improved, the workers had the pos
sibility of making full use of the
cultural and educational institu-
tions, and at the same time there
was more rational utilization of
the existing workshops and plants.
1t is obvious that the introduction
Of the seven-hour day and the five
day week contributed greatly to the
,aoolition Of unemployment.
With the liquidation of unem-
ployment socialist construction en-
tered on a new phase, which is
characterized by the shortage of
labor. The demand for workers, rot
only skilled but also unskilled, can
not be satisfied IN good time and
to sufficient extent. The fulfill
ment of the building plans calls for
hundreds Of thousands of skilled
workers and millions of semi-skilled
and non-skileld workers from the
ranks Of the former artisans, the
women and poor peasants, Thus
the Soviet Union is able to give its
Labor Exchanges a quite new func-
ton. The Labor Exchanges are con-
verted from institutions whose task

ployed workers and employees, into

Tho Soviet Union has entered the
period of Socialism.
At the beginning of the third
year Of the Five Year Plan there
are no longer any unemployed in
the Soviet Union.
There were countries in which
for the time being unemployment
was not very acute. But there is
only one country, namely the Sow
let Union, in which unemployment
has been finally liquidated because
the root cause of unemployment,

has been abolished
In time of the reconstruction of
national economy which has been
destroyed by war, civil war and i'm
perialist intervention, there existed
unemployment in the Soviet Union.
AT the same time, however, there
was an extensive social service. The
unemployed received not only ade-
quate unemployment benefit, but
also considerable privileges in re-
gard to housing, clothing and food.
The period of socialist reorcani-
cation Of the whole of the national
economy was characterized by the
Five-Yea Plan, the rapid indus
trialization Of the country, the So
cialistic transformation of agricul-
ture on the basis of collectivization,
the liquidation of the kulaks as a
class, the improvement of the ma
terial situation and the raising of
the cultural level of the masses, as
well as the systematic liquidation
of unemployment. At the time of
the commencement of the Five
Year Plan there were still 1,468, 900
unemployed in the Soviet Union.
On the first of January 193o-after
the successful carrying out of the
first year of the Five-Year Plan
there were only $4,000 unemployed,
and on the LIST of January 1881,
after the successful carrying out of

THERE IS no let-up in unemploy-
ment Never before was there
such a mass of workers thrown out
on the streets to starve as there is
in the United states today. Every
development of capitalism makes
for unemployment. Mass produc-
ton, even vixen the factories are
running. means mass uneInploy-
ment.
When crisis Of the present
severity comes about all the factors
make for still more unemployment.
How does It work. The factories
slow up. and thousands are thrown
out But the men that remain on
the job must do the work that two
used to do before. Very soon, even
if production remains at an even
pace, less workers are required to
do the job.
Endless Process
In a crisis, when there Is over
production. prices begin to drop
not for the workers-but wholesale
prices. This means that the bosses
have to produce their commodities
at lower costs of production. so that
they can meet the lower prices.
Then begins the increased process
of sneed-up. They lay off workers
and speed up those on the job. The
speed-up constantly eliminates
more. 1t is an endless process.

1928. Between 1919 and 1928, nearly
100000 were displaced. Right now,
during the crisis, this displacement
process is being speeded up so that
even if production goes ahead, it
will leave in its wake an army of
over 100000 permanently unem-
ployed.
Hunger, permanent hunger, is
the prospect for the American
working class. On the job there
