Particularly sharp Is the latest

Imperialism, in Manchuria and are

leads daily closer to a gigantic war
in the Far East.
The present situation rises out Of

Young Communists to
Mobilize Forces for
End of Fluctuation

Energetic steps by the Soviet gov
eminent, the Communist Party and
the Communist Youth League, to
overcome the shortage of 2,0oo0o0
industrial workers urgently needed
to complete and man important in
dustrial units under the Five-Year
Plan were reported by Walter Dur
anty, Moscow correspondent % the
New York Times
The Communist Youth Pravda
and the Youth League has set about
to mobilize its membership to end
the fluctuation of workers especially
on construction jobs, and to draw
workers from the collectives into in
dustrial life, Duranty writes.
The Youth Pravda points out that
the industrial workers increased from
100000 to 100000 from 1928 to
1880, but that the industrial labor
shortage was acute in many indus
trial sections.
Duranty attributes the lack Of flow
from the collectives to industrial CEN
tres to improved living conditions Of
the peasants.
The building trades is urgently in
need of at least 100000 workers.
Writing in the Sunday Times for
Sunday, october IL, Duranty says:
I'm this period Of world wide
economic distress, when unemploy-
ed are numbered by millions In
every large industrial country,
there Is no unemployment In the
Union of Socialist Soviet Republics.
On the contrary, there Is an ac-
tual shortage Of labor everywhere,
from factory operatives and con-
struction gangs 10 white collar
clerks and movie actors, which Is
reckoned at fully 100000 today"

ers of the Howard Clothing Co. to
resist the threatened wage cut the
firm is now seeking to put through
with the aid of the Amalgamated

issued a leaflet at the Brooklyn shop
of the company.
Telling of the conditions forced on
the workers in the shop and the
strikebreaking activity of the A. G. w.
clique the leaflet states:
"Right now, the union misleaders
are engaged in breaking a strike in
the canvass department of our
shop. The canvass makers could
no longer endure the inhuman con-
ditions. They were forced to rush
their lives out for wage of $18
and $26 week. The canvass max
ers, as one man, stopped work and

better conditions, but again the
same thing is happening. The
same Amalgamated officials who
scabbed away the strike of the Kriz

in their power to break the strike

The attempts of the socialist party
and the Forward to reconcile the two
warning socialist factions that split
the Amalgamated Clothing Workers,

Upon complaint of several pa

the journey to school is made
hazardous by the necessity of
crossing railroad tracks at Tenth

the condition was only recently
brought to her attention and that
she acted Immediately by station
ing the patrol boys at the danger
GUS crossing.
Finding this to be insufficient
she notified Police Precinct No.

but persons crossing via the

to Succeed Howard Bruce

Appointment of Major e.

terday. At the same time Robert

Both of the new appointees

clude their work. Mr.. Bruce and
Mr.. Shaw had rendered their

While Mr.. Lacey has never be-
fore held public office, he has
received the whole-hearted sup
port of Governor Ritchie. He is
graduate of the Hopkins
Engineering School, and holds de-
grees from the Massachusetts,

tary of state, and during the
terms of 1929 acted as speaker
Of the house of delegates.
