1900 Trained Workers Get
Jobs in 1881 in Soviet Union

Thirteen thousand skilled workers,
technicians, and engineers from the
United States, Germany and other
European countries will go this year,
at the Russian governments invita-
ton. to jobs which are waiting fol-
them in the Soviet Union. Seven
thousand Of these will be skilled
workers. Together with more than
5000 foreign specialists already in
Russia, they will play an important
part in pushing forward the great
work of construction of new factories,
power plans and transport, called for
in 1881. the third year of the Five
Year Plan of characterization.
The great enthusiasm of the Rus
sian masses for the Five-Year Plan,
which guarantees an ever-rising
of their standard of living, and is
bringing socialism to the countryside
as well as to the city, is reflected in
the election of the local Soviets, which
are now taking place throughout this
gigantic country. Characteristic feat
ures Of the present elections are the
tremendous turnout of the vote, and
especially the whole hearted partici-
patton of the peasants, who formerly
have been backward but now are

lectively).
All persons over eighteen years Of
age have the vote, unless they belong
to categories deprived of civic rights
criminals, lunatics, priests and pri-

In the Sc elections which are now
in progress throughout the country,
the foreign" workers, technicians
anu engineers are being urged to vote
and even propose their own candid
ates for the Soviets, a procedure per-
Missile under the Constitution. Quite
different from the treatment which
foreign born workers receive in the
United States! But then, in this
country the government is run by

COHOES, N. Y, Jan 26. - An in
junction against the Needle Trades
Workers Industrial Union, ordering
it not to "stir up trouble" in the Mir
enberg and Salzman shirt factory
here, has been issued by Justice Wal
ter Bliss.
This is a shop OF 300 workers. The
employer ordered a wage cut. The
Needle Trades Workers Industrial
Union distributed leaflets calling on
all to stop the cut by strike. The
boss then withdrew the cut temper
arily, and discharged five members
of the N. T. w. I. U. shop commit
tee there. They were taken back,
and then discharged again.
At one time the police were called
out when the boss heard that Joseph

distributing leaflets.
After that the injunction was OBJ
tanned, against both Goldstein and
the union, prohibiting them from dis
tributing any more leaflets or speak
ing to the workers.
The N T. w. L u points out to

continue to build their organization,
