AMERICAN DELEGATION
RETURNS FROM j. s. S. R,

running the factories, and the
farms possessing every opportU
nifty to develop themselves cultur-
ally, politically and economically.
We are able TO refute the capitalist
SANDER that the 5 year plan is
failure. Wherever we went we saw
the five year plan being accom-
plished in 2 liz and three years,
everywhere there is enormous en-
thusiasm in the carrying out of the
plan. the shock brigadcs are the
driving force in this enormous tenn
pc. In direct contrast to the con-
ditiOns of the workers of capitalist
countries whose conditions become
worse daily, We saw the workers of
the Soviet Union marching from
victory to victory under the politi-
cal guidance of the Communist
Party"

R.R. WORKERS Hit
WAGE SLASH SELL
OUT OF LEADERS

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Dec. ga
railroad worker here, exposing the
role of the union misleaderS in help
ing the rail bosses put over wage cuts,
writes to the Daily Worker as follows:
Great Mind" Willard, president
of the B. & O. sure pulled a dirty
trick on the labor misleaders when
he explained that the thirty day ul-
timatum was issued at the "sugges-
ton Of some of the labor leaders"
And that he had every confidence"
that negotiations for railroad wage
cuts would be settled peaceably.
VOL, he ought to know. He has
been ain close touchc with the stu
alton al the time But if he had
kept quiet like Silent Cal" they
might have been able to keep up the
delusion that the union misleaders
were opposing the move. Beats hell
how dumb some of our great minds
are.

with the way these negotiations have
been conducted, and are all ready to
sign up with the National Railroad
Workers Industrial League. j. P.
Morgan and Company can stage a
triumphant march down Broadway
after this is all over, using for waste
paper, the union cards which the
workers have torn up But workers
throwing their cards from high
buildings should be very careful not
to get any bricks mixed in with them.
Railroad workers, cutting your
wages wont solve the capitalist eco
nomic problems, as has been amply
demonstrated in England and Ger
many. Other wage cuts are sure to
follow. Organize the Railroad Work
ers Industrial League for the fight
which we have got TO win TO avoid
starvation.

tlre out in the street because the
worker could not pay his rent.
The whole Council soon rallied
and was on the job putting the fur
niture back in the house. The worker
is still in the house and is now a
member of the Unemployed Council.
1t is high time that all the work
ers rallied to the struggle against
eyictions. Stop this landlord terror,
this moving of workers out into the
street when they have no money or
jobs.

Stain, who received rising ovation
from the assembly while the presence
of the presidents of the Uzbek, Turk
menistan, Talk, Ukrainian and other
republics emphasized the interna-
tional character of the Soviet Union
In his opening speech, Chairman
Petrovsky, President Of the Ukrain-
ian Republic pointed out that Soviet
industry in strategic branches such
as electric, chemical and oil had al
ready reached the level of American,
and German technique while the or
gallization of agriculture surpasses
them. While the state budget for
1881 reached the big total of twenty
and one half billion rubles, for the
next year it has been increased to
twenty seven biloiln, at the same time
attention is being concentrated on
improving the quality and decreasing
the cost of production and the train
ing of cadres of skilled workers and
Itechnichians.
Capitalist Production Drops.
Molotov, who was warmly greeted,
quoted figures from bourgeois sta
tisticians demonstrating that while
Soviet industry was developing at an
unequalled tempo, industry in thirty
nine capitalist countries dropped by
25 per cent since 1928, world trade
had fallen to the level Of pre-war.
Today only one country, the Soviet
Union, is able TO increase its inn
ports and industry, The socialists
theory Of organized capitalism has
been shattered by the facts of the
world crisis. The growth of Soviet
industry. as shown by facts. was
three billion rubles in 1928 four bill
lion six hundred million in 1880.

vance of the living level Of the Soviet
workers.
The delegations, which we're spon-
sored by the Friends of the Soviet
Union and the Workers International
Relief and we're elected at mass
meetings of unions and workers Or
CARNATIONS, not only witnessed the
gigantic demonstration on Re d
Square on Nov. 7 but toured extern
sively throughout the Soviet Union
inspecting the factories, visiting
homes and schools and talking to the
workers.
Martin Kampo, Pennsylvania
steel worker, summed up what he
saw in few words: THE most Won
derful country I ever saw 1t is
workers country, being built up for
the workers" "I would like to go
right back" said Dewy Dobinson, a
Pennsylvania miier, "but the National
Miners Union needs every militant
miner to help fight starvation in
America" Roy Hudson, seaman
and chairman of the F. S. U. delega-
ton, told Of conversations he had
with workers in Leningrad, Moscow
and all over the Soviet Union.
Urge U. S. Workers 10 Organize.
"The first question they generally
asked u.s." said Hudson, was about
unemployment in the United States.
When we told them Of the mass
hunger and misery and that there
were u million out of work in Amer
lea, they pointed to the fact that
there is no unemployment in the So
Wet Union and urged us to advise
the American workers to follow their
example. Organize into the red I'M
ions and the Communist Party and
build a Soviet America was their
advice to us"
All Soviet Workers insured.
When asked if the workers in the
U. S. S. R. were protected by social
insurance Hudson told of a worker
he visited in one of the modern
apartments in Baku. The worker
had been sick for some time, but was
receiving full wages and the best
medical attention. Members of the
delegation told of talking to aged
workers who were receiving from the
government old age insurance.
Every worker in the Soviet Union
is protected by social insurance" de-
clared Hudson.
'The only ones who are joblesS and
do not seem to want to work in the
whole U. S. S. r." said member
of the delegation, "are few of the
priests and clergy who stand in front
of churches unmolested begging Ko-
peks."
On Red Square.
The whole delegation declared that
they were astounded at the size. en-
thusiaSn1 and strength of the DEM
onstration on Red Square in Moscow
on Nov. 7. In answer to Comrade
Vorosholov's appeal for the speeding
up of the Five Year Plan and defense
of the workers fatherland. the work
ers and Red soldiers pledged enthu-
siasticaIly to carry out the plan in
record time and to defend the So
Wet Union against all imperialist
invaders.
"Our dlegates saw for the first
time the solution of the national
minority problem In Tashkent we
saw the UzbeckS who under the
Gar were one of the most oppres-
sed races, unable TO read or write,
possessing no property and getting
no medical attention. Today these
people arc governing their country,

Society showed its devout love of
sports last week when under gray and
dripping skies and over water soaked
grounds it defled the unpleasant humor
Of the weather man and attended the
first two days Of the National Capital
Horse Show in goodly numbers. The
third day OF the show was much better
and had q perfect day yesterday for
the closing events. Famed as a show

show Wednesday and Thursday showed
nothing startling but many persons In
water-soaked and mud-splashed gar
HentS, holding umbrellas and wading
about IN galoshes still kept in happy
and sporting mood.
The hunt ball and breakfast Is not
yet old enough in Washington to cause
= Wild rush, and what was really one OF
the prettiest and certainly one Of the
most interesting dancing events OF the
year was overlooked by many. How
ever, it was q triumph and should be-
come an annual event, well patronized
and the leading social feature OF the
horse show week.
The call Of the wild was heard by
the President and Mrs. Hoover and
they are spending a short time in their
camp on the Rapidan in Virginia. Mrs.
Hoover preceded the President, driving
her own car over the highways, and
had everything in readiness TO re-
ceiye the President and his party when
they followed her a day later over the
same trail. The Secretary of the In
terror and Mrs. Wilbur have established
q camp adjoining that of the President
and Mrs. Hoover and they, too. are en-
loving the week end in the mountains.
Mrs. Hoover Is one OF the busiest First
Ladies the White House has ever
claimed, attempting as she does to carry
on not only her social duties, but the
multiplicity OF things OUTSIDE, Unlike
her predecessor, she accepts ana &C

events arranged principally for the Girl
