the French imperialists are carrying
forward the preparations on the
western frontier. Coordinating the
attack of the imperialists against the
Soviet Union Is the United States.
1t is Wall Street which came to an
agreement with Japan for the divi-
sion Of China. 1t is Wall Street
which, in the Hoover-Laval confer
ence, prepared the attack on the
German masses and on the western
front of the Soviet Union.
AT the very time that the capital
list press is admitting that far more
lay behind the statement of Hoover
and Laval than was contained in it
Laval comes out with the proposal
for the BRAND United Europe" plan.
On board the Isle de France Laval
stated that the first thing that would
be done as the result of the meeting
with Hoover would be to complete
the France German rapprochement
which is necessary to produce the
confidence needed as basis for
economic recovery"
This Franco German rapproche-
ment Is the preparation for the at
tack on the German revolutionary
masses in the coming months and
for the attack on the Soviet Union.

Youngstown Council Active.

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio, Oct. o.
When notice was given to an I'M

children that they would be eyicted
on Monday, Oct. 26, at am, the
Unemployed Branch of Youngstown
rallied the neighbors in the immedi-

where the eviction was to take place

A great success was scored by the
branch as the police, knowing that

Amalgamated Head Says He Works for Boss
CBy a Worker Correspondent

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. "A couple
weeks ago the Chicago Alnalgamated
leaders called a few hand-picked re-
preSentatives from different cities
and also from this city to 60 to
Chicago to discuss wage-cuts. While
they were in Chicago they decided to
accept a 10 per cent slash without
giving any notice to the locals.
When Frank Rosenblum, one Of
the teaches, came to inform us here
of the dirty work he was received in
our local hall with a big BOO, which
let him know what the people think
OF him. AS soon as he took the floor
to cover up things and call the people
dumb for not supporting the union
offiials the workers put stop to him
and told him to get off the floor.
Latter he took the floor again and
tried to tell us how important it was
to support the company so it can
stay in business. He said he did not
depend on the local for a living Che
gets his from the bosses for selling
us OUT. He said that five years ago
the company nearly went out Of
business, but the union came to their
aid with a loan and a wage-cut of 10
per cent.

Dear Comrades:
The Union Pacific back shops

Eearly In the summer this railroad
company adopted the five-day week
program. Later, on Aug. "a, they
again decreased the work period by
taking five days off Of each month.
Now, with 446 locomotives serviceable
and stored away, they have de-
cided t oabsolutely close the general

here. This action involves about
1000 men here in Omaha.
Many of the small stations, on all

that many agents and operators are
losing their jobs and the depot is

Whatever the architectural

it's design Of truly classic SIM

Norge white enamel models are
finished with three baked-on
coats. The porcelain models are
paneled. each panel easily re-
placed if need be.
In all models of the Norge the
food compartment is extremely
spacious and, because of the
power of the compact Rollator and
the use of Dry Zero. most eff

been no necessity to cut down
food space by ultra-thick walls.
The cabinet occupies minimum

signed to harmonic with any
interior arrangement.
Ice cubes freeze quickly in the
Norge. A tight sealing porcelain
door over the freezing compart-
ment helps to do this and it also
protects the ice cubes from pene-
trating food odors and keeps the
ice trays from sticking in the
shelves.

The Norge Offers Nineteen
Original Features

For six years the Norge Electric
Refrigerator has been in world
wide use. setting a new standard
for refrigeration performance and
results, in every climate and un-
der every operating condition.
Superlative quality must be
characteristic of the refrigerator
that can make such a record for
itself. And inbuilt quality is the
thing that has made the Norge
such a satisfying refrigerator for
all Of its users.
The Norge Electric Refrigerator
has 10 original features; many of
them patented, all of them used
fsr the first time in the Norge.
In addition Norge has IS super
lative quality features which add
to its long life and unrivaled per-
formance.
Most outstanding of Norge ex-
elusive features is it's mechanical
heart, the Rollator. This is a
compact and simple refrigerating
machine, which is practically
everlasting. 1t has actually
proved. during a test period cor
responding to Is years of normal
operation in the home, to actually
improve in use.
Because Of the power and eff
cheney of this mechanical unit,
and because of it's small size, it
has been possible to proportion
the Norge cabinet scientifically.
Many unusual and pleasing fea-
lures for convenience in use are
incorporated in the Norge food
compartment. For instance, the
food shelves are waist-high, easy
TO reach without STOPPING. The
food compartment lining is of
gliStening white porcelain and
has no dark depths. A wide
opening door gives full visibility
to the interior. Cleanliness is
an important feature with any
refrigerator and it is easy to keep
the Norge exquiSitely clean. Every
corner Of the inside is rounded.
1t can be washed easily and very,
very thoroughly. There are no
creViceS where bacteria can lodge:
no cracks where stubborn par
ticles can hide. Even the door
gasket. which is of an original
semivacuum type, that makes a
tight seal when the door is closed,
can be washed or wiped as fire.
