SOVIET LOGGERS
HIT ISLANDERS IN
u. S.-ANGL0 PRESS
Invite Workers To See
Real Conditions

MOSCOW.--A meeting Of loggers
and drivers in the Smiloyitciii dis
trict in White-Russia adopted a reso-
luton against the ISLANDERS spread by
the British and American press con-
corning the conditions Of the Soviet
timber workers. The resolution de-
MES that forced labor OF any kind is
used in the industry, and declares
that the conservative attack is not
dictated by any desire to secure i'm
proved conditions for the loggers,
but by. desire to attack the social
ist constructive work being conducted
in the Soviet Union.
AS a practical answer to the SLAM
ders of the conservatives the work
ers at the meeting joined the shock
group movement. A resolution
adopted called on the working class
press in the capitalist countries to
inform the workers there of the real
conditions in the Soviet lumber camps.
At the same time it was decided to
invite a delegation of British and
American workers to come to the
Soviet Union in order to study at
first hand the conditions of the
workers in general and the condi-
tons of the lumbermen in particular.

Then a larger police corps came into
the hall and others to the extent of
about 100, occupied all of the sur

all the street corners of the streets

again that the melting should be dis
banded. The workers protested ener-
getically and did not wish to leave
the hall before the end of the meet
ing.
Then barbarous clubbin gof the
workers began. In the room itself,
in the exits of the surrounding rooms,
on the stairs and ont the streets, the
participants were brutally beaten
and wounded. Men and women and
children, no one was spared The
floor was covered with blood. No
one could protect themselves, since
the steps are very narrow here and
the workers had to leave almost
singly by the steps which were COW

SOCIALISTS FOR
ATTACK ON USSR
Ladder Speaks With
Poison Ivy" Lee

''Poison Ivy Lee, personal pub
licity agent for the Rockefeller
family and the standard oil Co.,
joined with the socialist" DR.. Harry
w Ladder in working up war senti-
ment against the Soviet Union. Both
these eueries of the Soviet Union,
despite their phrases about recog-
milton, agree that Communism, as
shown by the advance of the Five
Year Plan, must be fought with every
weapon available.
The Rockefeller unit d
front against the Soviet Union took
place at the religious dope-dispens-
ing institution, the Union Theological
Seminary on Monday.
Poison Ivy" Lee spoke about the
ultimate failure" of Communism be-
cause it abolished private property
and because it was based on a ma
terialist" philosophy. Lee insisted
that the masses need to be doped so
that they could put up with the
realities" of capitalism-memploy-
ment, starvation, war. OF course,
Lee overlooked the fact that when
the capitalists squeeze the life out
OF millions of workers, they do not
exactly do it for the glory of god"
Ladder spoke on The Socialist
Looks at Russia" but the manner in
which he spoke showed clearly that
the socialist looks at Russia through
capitalist eyes.
The socialist party, of which Laid
Ter is one of the leading lights, has
passed a resolution supporting inter
vention in the Soviet Union by the
imperialist powers to overthrow work
ers' rule.
justification for the intervention
against the Soviet Union has already
been prepared by the socialists. When
the question of the Five-Year Plan
was under discussion in the New York
convention of the socialist party
Hillquit laid the ground for approval
of the capitalist war against the Sow
let Union. "It lis absurd to speak
Of the Bolshevik dictatorship as q
workers government" he said. Hence
to aid the capitalist war prepare
tons against the Soviet Union, in
the mind of Hillquit Ladder and the
rest, is justifiable act. All the talk
about Russian terror" which is sc
voluminous and prevalent in the So
cialist party is the very propaganda
that the bosses are using to speed
the war against the Soviets.
