Sending a Correspondent to
the Soviet Union

IN order to give the American workers and
farmers a first-hand picture of the daily life,
problems, and achievements of the 160000,000
toners Of the Soviet Union straining every nerve
to build up their free, socialist society, the
Daily Worker and Communist Press generally
have arranged to send over a member of their
staff to live and work in the Workers Father
land and write back to us here what he sees and
experiences there
Every phase of Soviet life will be covered Our
correspondent will follow with us the daily life
Of the workers and peasants in their shops,
mines, and on the farms; at their union meet
ings, homes; their club houses. We will find
out what the Soviet masses do and think about
a million things! Including what they think of
America We will discover what the Five Year
Plan means in terms of human lives; of the
toiling masses. We will see how they run their
own government and the role of their great
Communist Party in building up socialism over
one-sxth of the earthS surface.
The next best thing to going to the Soviet
Union and seeing for yourself is to have a friend
go who'll promise to tell you all he finds out, and
answer your many questions nearly as he
can? Well, here's your chance, given you by
your workers press The series will start in the
early fall.
Your correspondent is at your command
Send letter Immediately giving your sugges-
tions to this comrade and listing the different
matters which you would like to have him look
into while there. Ask the workers and farmers
in your neighborhood and place of work what
they'd most like to hear about and put that
down, too.
Your correspondent can't undertake to answer
each one Individually, but all questions and sug
gestions sent in will be carefully listed and every
attempt made to act on these, and to include
material on each and every one in the course of
the series of stories which he will write for the
press
Send all such letters to:

Spread the Rhode Island Textile
Strike

Anna Weinstock was forced to publicly an
nounce her withdrawal from the Central Falls
situation. The workers saw through her and her
strikebreaking cronies, the Polish American
Citizens Club and the renegade strike commit
tee member, Frank Faber.
The fake vote in Providence of the A w. G.,
the Olneyville Busnessmen's Association and
that company tool, the democratic Alderman Duf-
fy fell flat The fake vote was On Monday On
Sunday the workers took their own vote showing
400 (out of 800 workers in the milD standing
solid in the strike and only 49 for crawling back.
Up to the time of writing, the vicious lies in
the capitalist press, the cred issue, the rehgi-
Gus ISSUE the attempt to play craft against craft
has made no real dents in the ranks of the strik
ers. However, the churches have not yet been
fully mobilized in the strikebreaking crusade and
the attempt to import scabs has just been started
The workers must be on their guard against the
next strikebreaking. moves.
The Fight Must Go On.
The strikes have now developed into an endur-
ance test between the employers and the work
ers. The employers are using every means at
their disposal to spread Generalization among
the workers ("We will move OUT, we are hir-
ing new help eve are shutting down complete
ly' are examples Of the company lies being wide
ly spread) But the workers know that as long
they keep the mill closed they stand the chance
Of winning their strike.
The weakness of the employers in the situation
can be seen by the following facts among others:
l. Salzberg mill owner in Putnam, Conn, has
already entered into negotiations with the strike
committee in his mill @ Bloom, another mill
owner has expressed his willingness to enter into
negotiations with the strike committee. g. The
American Woolen Co. is taking frantic steps to
defeat the efforts of the N. T. w. U. to spread
the woolen strike Some of the crafts in May
nard and in ShaWsheen village (near Lawrence)
have been given Improvements in their condi-
tions. The loom fxers in Fletcher's mill (second
awe mill in Providence) have been given prom
ises of wage increases to go into effect soon ETC.
The present fight must go on. If the workers
retreat now, if they allow their ranks to be
broken, they will face new wave of wage cuts
and speed up. The decisive problem is to keep
on pcketing, activizng every striker their house
wives and their youth and children, house to
house visits, keep up the agitation, sign up the
strikers in the union and spread the strikes The
spreading of the present strikes is double surety
that victory will be won.
