CELEBRATE 18TH
ANNIVERSARY 1905
RUSSIAN REVOLT
Discuss Ten Years of
Identification

MOSCOW - A public plenary
session of the Moscow Committee
of the Communist Party Of the So
Wet Union took place on the TWEEN
ty-fifth anniversary of the Moscow
Instruction in 1905 and on the 10th
anniversary of the adoption of the
electrification plan. The Moscow
Soviet, the Moscow Council of La
Dor Unions and the Moscow Com
mittee of the Young Communist
League were also present.
Comrade Yaroslavski described
The instruction in Moscow in 1905
and stressed its tremendous impor-
lance; also quoting Lenin's words,
according to which there could have
been no victorious instruction in
1917 without the dress rehearsal in
1905.
The famous historian, Comradc
Pokrovski, declared that the Mos
co winsurrection opened up the first
great stage of the Lroletarian revo-
luton. che second stage was the
1917 revolution and the civil war
The third stage was the present
struggle for the building up of So
cialism. The 70 nth great stage
would be socialism.
Comrade Litvin Sedoy, the leader
of the insurrectionary workers in
Krassnaya Presnya, described the
heroic fight of the workers Of the
"Trechgorny" textile factory on the
barricades. A report was then made
on the socialist achievements of the
Trechgorny works and it was pro-
posed to grant the order of the Red
Banner to the works collectively.
Comrade Kashishanovski then re-
ported on the Identification plan. He
described the great significance of
Lenin's Identification plan and the
struggle put up against it by the
opportunists. Lenin's great plan is
being carried out, and by 1888 a net
of electric light and power would
be spread over the whole country,
with total capacity of eight mil
lion kilowatts, so that the Soviet
Union would then be second only
to the United States.
The representative of the Young
Communist League, Comrade Kos
sarev, then spoke and declared that
the League had taken over the pat
ronage of the identification of the
country. He was followed by the
representative of the workers en-
gagged on the Dnyeprostrol and the
other large power stations, who de-
scribed the great achievements OF
the workers. In March 1882, Dnye-
prostroi would begin supplying in
dustry with electric power. Other
speakers followed, and the session
adopted a manifesto to the workers
of Moscow and the Moscow district.

Of it he probably uses it as wall paper
in his bathroom.
There arc many ways in which the
MAYOR Of Hobolen can reward the
rich who permit him to govern the
City, There is the matter of taxes, for
example. Taxes are very high in Ho-
boken. When taxes are high it means
that rents are doubly high, And rents
are high because the wealthy men of
the city, who should pay all the taxes,
pay practically none. The Hoboken
Land and Improvement Co, owned by
Otto Wittpenn, a former mayor of
Jersey City who married into the
wealthy Stevens family, owns almost
half the real estate in the city An
examination of the citys tax records
will disclose that the assessments on
Wittpenns property are ridiculously
low. Barney, of course, gets part of
the money that Wittpenn saves.
Barney himself, a millionaire, pays
something like 5000 year in taxes.
The Jersey Observer, a wealthy Hobo
ken newspaper which advises him in
all important graft transactions, is as
sessed at $4,000 a year on property
that is worth million. Almost any
one in Hoboken with property, as a
matter of fact, can have his assess
ments reduced by the payment TO
Barney of proportlonate fee.
Merely, not content with graft
from brothels, speakeasies, gambling
dens, Public Service and other cor
porations, is frequent bidder, under
his brothers name on city contracts.
He holds the garbage collecting con-
tract of Bayonne at figure 100000
higher than that of the lowest bid
der. Barney, illiterate as he is, uses
up tremendous amount of station
cry yearly in his official capacity. All
of it is supplied by the Jersey OBJ
server--at prices that are literally I'M
believable until one looks at city
vouchers.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1931-01-17

His rates we're high, but his service
was good; for part of Barney's ser,
vice was immunity from troublesome
laws that Barney didn't enforce wher
his clients were concerned.
Bribed BY Public Service.
When Public Service first applied
for franchise in Hoboken, Merely
was so enthusiastic he Immediately
ordered all privately buses Off
the streets. A demonstration led by
the exiled bus-owners marched to the
City Hall the next day and almost
lynched Barney, so he repealed the
ordinance. Then followed a consul
tation with Public Service officials,
after which Merely announced a
compromise" measure. The privately
owned buses were to be permitted
TO do business, at a fiye-cent fare,
while the Public Service buses were
empowered to enact a ten-cent fare.
This doesn't sound SO bad until il
is remembered that Barney controls
the police force. Public Service buses
are permitted to speed down the
streets at a breakneck pace and reach
street crossings to pick up passengers
in front of the privately owned
busses. which must remain within the
city's speed limits. Moreover, these
private buses are hailed to court for
infractions of all sorts of traffic ordi-
nances while Public Service drivers
may engage in friendly speed con-
tests in the main streets of the city
without fear of even as much as an
angry look from any of McFeely's
cops.
How did 1t come about that Public
Service is permitted to charge ten
cent fare? Barney's excavation COM
pany again. The Public Service could
buy dozen steam shovels Of its own
for the price that Merely charges to
excavate ten foot hole. The Public
Service also issues a great deal of
stock. Mayor Merely has so much

MAYOR TELLS HUNGRY

STAMFORD. CONN, Jan. 10
A member of the Unemployed Coun-

arrested while collecting signatures
on a petition-list for the Workers IN

workers in the job-Gnes. The cops
held him for 3 hours, questioning him
and attempting to terrorize him so
ho would stop gothering signatures,
without success. They were finally
forced to release him.

huge fraud the registration" of job

Red ARMY HITS
NANkING TROOPS
Merchants Fear Drive
Of Workers-Peasants

Sharp fighting between Communist
,roops and the retreating Chang Kai
3hek anti-communist expedition is
reported in various parts of China,
according to a cable dispatch from
shanghai to capitalist papers in New
York. Previous reports told of the
capture of one Nationalist division
Nth 10000 soldiers and the desertion
II destruction of two other divisions.
Merchants in Changsha, fearing
another invasion and capture of that
city have appealed to the nationalist
government "for an extention of the
Anti-Red Campaign in that province
saything thus far the troops have
accomplished little" This is putting
IL mildly. The fact is that this ex-
peditionary force is being badly beat
en-. Their route has been SO drastic
that Chang Kai Shek has extended
the date of operations from the time
he had announced all the Red troops
would have been crushed. Bombing
planes are being sent from Nanchang
to bolster up the retreating National
list troops.
