HAYES AND CRARY ITO ADDRESS REGULARS
BIC SHOPPING DAY
 HERE ON THURS
Merchants Bureau Pre- pairing for Event That Will Interest Public
PRICES TO MEET TIMES

Waterbury merchants are plan
 ming big things for shoppers in this district in preparation for the an-
 nual Dollar Day sale on Thurs day. Members of the Merchants Bureau of the Waterbury Cham Der or Commerce are cooperating
 to make this affair one long to
 be remembered in the Brass City. Bargains never before offered to the public will be on all the counters of stores participating in
 the event.
 Shoppers of Waterbury and nearby towns long considered ex- pert buyers need not spend too
 much time in searching for the
 goods they desire on Thursday for,
 as one merchant put 1t, the quality as well as quantity will be at the
 disposal of the public. in con venient places about the business
 houses. This same merchant is
 sincere In his statements that the
 Dollar Day Thursday will find goods never dreamed of being of- fered at such low prizes before. All the cooperating merchants arc highly enthusiastic over the
 project this summer. laying their feelings to the advance signs ex- hibited by the purchasers. Since the opening announcement of Dol | lar Day numerous queries have been received from shoppers, not | only in Waterbury but in sur
 rounding districts. Some desire to
 know the time the stores will he | opened. Othersa re anxious to | know when the stores will an
 nounce in the papers the bargains
 they have to offer and still others are asking about the parking l places in central locations.
 There Is no need to explain the manner in which the Dollar Day
 sale Is staged for the shoppers are | well aware of the system. It was 1 reported that some of the shoppers hold off buying anything for as long as a week previous to the Dollar Day, when they have
 learned that q Dollar Day is to be held. They are of the apprccta-
 tive kind who know the value of a dollar and what 1t can buy on one of the days. They know tha | Tn recent years the bargains of- fered by tried and trusted Water | bury concerns have been well worth the grcenback expended. From present signs 1t would be
 safe to say that Waterbury mer- chants cooperating in this stella,
 event will be in for q big showc'
 Of greenbacks on Thursday. Watch

BOSSES CANNOT
CONCEAL TRUTH
OF 5-YEAR PLAN
Is Foremost Drive in
History On Poverty

MOSCOW-Referring to the latest
campaign against the Soviet Union,
the grotesque conservative campaign
against ''forced labor" the "Isvestia"
declares that not all the Lords, Bish-
ops and penny-a-l liners in the world
will succeed in convincing the mas
ses of the workers that forced labor
exists in the Soviet Union. The hypo-
critical howl raised by the press
hyenas can hardly expect to deceive
even the most backward workers.
First of all, the character of those
who raise it is suspect. Those who
protest against forced labor" in the
Soviet Union are those who defend
exploitation and oppression through
out the world. And secondly, where
there is slavery there must also be
slaveoWners. Let those who fatten
on the sweat Of the masses tell them
who are the SlaveoWnerS who profit
from the supposed forced labor in the
Soviet Union. The masquerade is not
good enough. The workers of Europe
have long ago said to themselves:
Perhaps the life of the workers in
the Soviet Union is hard, but at least
they are working for themselves and
fighting for their own interests"
'The Five Year Plan is the most
tremendous drive in the history of
the world against poverty" Thus the
secretary Of the London Trades and
Labor Council, Alfred Wall. The
truth can no longer be concealed, not
even from those more backward
workers who have not yet realized
that they must break ruthlessly with
the bourgeoisie before they can win
through to their own freedom.
We answer the lies and calumny of
the capitalist press about the crisis
in the capitalist countries. The per-
SiStence Of influential circles are be-
hind it. A war of intervention is
being prepared against the Soviet
Union. The Soviet government makes
no attempt to deny the gravity of the
situation. But when the world bour-
geoisie carries its plans into action
it will be faced with the desperate
resistance of millions and millions of
former slaves Of the czar who will
have the support Of dozens of millions
OF workers and peasants throughout
the world The capitalist intervention
will end in the defeat Of the inter-
ventionists.
