 IN SOUTHERN CHILE

SANTIAGO, Chile, Feb, 23, (P)- With a number of other South American countries clamping the lid on immigration, Chile plans for the colonization of some 10,- COO Russian Cossack families in the central and southern regions
 Some of the Cossack leaders were engaged in the colonization plan in Peru during the Leguia regime, but that venture failed
 Chiefs of the advance guard claim that they are genuine Cos sacks who gained so much fame before the fall of the Czar in Russia. ####
 They have made a distinct inn pression on the government and the people here by their vigorous phySiques, their hOrsemanship, and their energy.
 They are i-bolShevists, a fact which makes them welcome. No reds are admitted to Chile.

Therefore, the Central Committee and

took energetic measures on the 5th
of October, replacing the former Com
missar of Transport with Andreyev,
formerly head of the Workers and

The freight car movements have
increased to $4,000 cars daily which

NEW YORK. - The operators Of

From the temporary strike head
quarters set up by the workers at

of the economic crisis. The Anna
list index of business activity last
week was at the record low for the
present crisis.
Wheat Buying For War Purposes
The increase in the price is not
the result of turn in the economic
crisis, but as the result Of the ap-
preaching war crisis, the intense
preparations being made by the cap
italist class for the attack on the
Soviet Union. 1t is for this reason
that the spectators are buying
wheat with the coopration Of the
Farm Board and for the United
States government. The purchases
of Cutten we're started, according to
the capitalist press, as far back as
August-showing that the knwledge
of preparations for the attack on the
\Soviet Union were known to the
4 peculators as much as three months
ago.
The anti-Soviet character OF the
rise in the price of wheat is openly
stated by the British capitalist press
in its attempts to win leadership
over the anti-Soviet capitalist front.
The Daily Express of London, which
is owned by Lord Beaverbrook, states
that the price of wheat has risen
because the bottom has fallen out
of the Five Year Plan.'

Dor. Private companies will not have
to pay union wages to the workers,
They can secure unemployed workers
through forced labor "for upkeep"
without wages.
Jim CrowiSm-DividinE the
Working Class.
A further feature Of the program
is the discrimination against foreign
born workers, Negro workers and
young workers. This is to be carried
out under the guise of "humanitar-
ianisrn," under the guise Of helping
married men first. Workers are to be
asked to accept jobs on the farms for
"upkeep" But this the capitalists
know to be sheer hypocrisy aside from
the forced labor phase. The farmers
are starving, they can not feed them
selves and their families. Many Of
them are drifting into the big citiei'
in search of jobs.
The Hoover government boast
that the American Federation Of
Labor "can be expected to support
this plan" and they could have
added that the socialist party and
all It's winglets (Muste) also SUP
port this plan" Yes, the entire
capitalist class, the Hoover govern
ment and the republican and demo-
cratic parties, the socialist party
and the American Federation Of
Labor all support this program OF
starvation, of placing the entire
burden Of the crisis on the workers
The workers must answer the plan
of Hoover and all its supporters by
a program Of struggle. They must
oppose the whole system OF forced
labor and the stagger plan. They
must unmaSk the whole flood OF
propaganda as the prosperity" They
must unmask the fakery of this plan
and resist the attempt to solve the
crisis at their expense. They must
organize and fight. Fight for imme-
date relief. Fight for an immediate
sum as winter relief. Fight for un-
employment insurance. Fight against
discharges. Fight for a shorter work
day without a reduction OF wages
Fight for tax on the rich to relieve
the unemployed. Fight against the
wage-cuts which the Hoover govern
ment now openly supports
The unemployed workers must
organize into Unemployed Coun-
ellis. The workers in the A. r. Of
L. unions must repudiate the A.
r. Of L. leaders and their stand
against unemployment insurance
adopted at the last convention at
Vancouver. Employed workers

wheat prices. The millions of dol
lars increase in the wheat supply
will go not to the farmers but to the
spectators. The slight increase in
value that the farmers may get will
be paid for by them through the
slaughter of millions of farmers and
farmers sons in the attack of the
capitalist class against the Soviet
Union if the capitalist class is per-
mitted by the working masses to go
thru with the attack. Workers and
farmers: Defend the Soviet Union
against the attack of the capitalists
and the spectators!

hope OF the workers and farmers

AKRON, Ohio.--An ex-serviceman,
who made applications to the chart
ties here for relief, was told to go
back to Pittsburgh, where he came
from or starve.
This man worked in the Goodrich

left Akron to work in Pittsburgh, but
returned to Akron about 10 months

The bosses forced him to pay a

I material change in the conditions or
employment of the jobless railroad
men.
The action of the railway union
chieftains recalls the maneuvers made
by the socialist officials of the Amer
isan Federation OF Full Fashioned
Hosiery Workers when their main
plea for a voluntary wage cut was
that it would stabilize" the indus
try and furnish work for many now
unemployed. The aftermash of the
deep wage cut affected by the hosiery
misleaders not only failed to make
more employment but threw hundreds
more out of the mills and reduced the
living standards of the workers who
had their wages cut.
The whole process of the united
front of the leaders Of the railroad
brotherhoods and the railway bosses
to put over the wage cut is told by
Roger Habson, capitalist statisticians
in an interview with the "Babson
Park" press printed on Oct. 80. Bah
son said:
Rail executives will propose a cut
to the labor unions, naturally asking
for more reduction than they expect
to get. Then the bargaining will be-
gin. The unions probably will re-
fuse and each road must file petit
tions before the board of mediation.
All this will take time and it is i'm
probable that actual wage reductions
can be put into effect before next
spring. 1 believe the labor unions
wiz agree to some wage reduction
without strike.
"a reduction of ten per cent in
wage rates would still leave the
workers ahead of the game and bet
] ter off than almost any other group

and juggling can the banks show that
they are solvent" The bosses gov
eminent, through banking pools, is
guaranteeing the big banks and the
rich their wealth. But the masses of
workers who had deposits have al
ready been robbed of them by the
banks. Thousands Of banks with
workers deposits have gone bank
rupt In the Bank Of U. S. in New
York City alone more than 100000
depositors, workers and small trades
men have lost their hard learned dol
lars.
Covering Up Wholesale Robbery.
The whole campaign Of propaganda
as TO the "soundness" of the capital
ist institutions and the program of
prosperity" of more faith" more
buying" is but a Smoke-screen to
cover up the robbery Of the masses
and the placing of the whole burden
of the crisis on the masses and the
turning Of the crisis itself into good
business for bankers and the big cap
italists,
The other points of the Hoover pro-
gram are direct attack on the en-
ployed workers, the complete refusal
to help the unemployed. 1t calls upon
the employed workers to share their
one or two days work with the unem-
ployed and thus further lower the liv-
ing standards of the entire working
class. Faced with 100000 unem-
ployed, with the deepening of the
crisis causing more unemployment,
with new speed-up schemes to en-
able the capitalists to compete in the
world market, the Hoover government
sees only the "stagger plan" as the
solution. Only the workers must
bear the price of teh mad capitalist
system with its crisis and suffering
for the masses. The capitalists must
continue to make huge profits and
receive big dividends.
Attacks Low Paid Govt Workers,
A new feature of the Hoover pro-
gram is an attack on the poorly paid
government employees. Their wages
are to be cut. Many of them are TO
be laid off and the stagger plan to
be introduced. This Is done under
the cover Of aiding the unemployed.
In reality 1t is to be wage-cut and
speed-up for the poorly paid gov
eminent employees, 50 that the Hoo
yer government can continue to spend
billions for war without further taxes
on the rich. But the government Of
ficialS, with their high salaries of
tens Of thousands of dollars per year,
are not to be interfered with. This is
the Hoover program.
Forced Labor-Starvation Wages.

eminent, must be pushed Yes, this

The gist Of the argument that the
