Six State Labor Dept.
Representatives Meet

NEW Representative of
labor departments of six states man
ufacturing silk met Monday in Al
lerton House on 57th st. and talked
over bills to be introduced in state
legislatures for shorter hours in silk
mills.
The conference was arranged by
the Pennsylvania state bureau Of in
dustrial relations. The states repre-
sented were Pennsylvania, Massachu-
sets, Maine, Connecticut, New Jey.
sey and New York. A representative
Of the U. S. department of labor met
with them, and the meeting consisted
of series of conferences with John
w. Edelman, research director of the
Full Fashioned Hosiery Workers, q
union largely controlled by Music
ties.
Firm Up" Prices.
The character Of the proposals is
kept secret, but their nature can be
seen by statement in wonen's
Wear Daily, trade paper, which says:
1T is the contention of the spon-
sors Of this movement that such
program would do much to firm up
the price of silks" Some clue can
also be obtained by a statement In
the same paper: I'm each case the
representative of the respective state
labor departments agreed to sponsor
concurrent legislation, if that was
really the wish of the silk nlanufac-
tlIrerS and workers In their states"
The scheme is evidently mainly
price raising plan, with some kind OF
stagger system, probably involving
wage -cuts, attached, and it comes
from a united front of state, en-
ployer and A. F. of L. union leaders.

A member of the squad Is Harry
Smith, who was in the American Ex-
peditionary Force to Siberia under
General Graves. His experiences
there convinced him beyond argu-
ment that it was Wall Streets war
not his war. Smith was the COM
mander of the delegation of % on

Another member is E. v. Nicholson
one of the first members of the Dis
abled American Veterans organiza-
ton, member of the Veterans of

CoIorful Trip.
On their trip to Washington the
delegation of %, and on its trip
from Washington to New York the
organizing squad of nine, had many
adventures. They brushed past hos
tility OF railroad and city police and
mayors. They rode freights, and
trucks which were once practically
Communicated by the veterans. They
collected expenses on the way. part
ly by selling Bonus March stamps
and W.E.S.L. literature. They found
an army air port in Illinois where
the sergeants and corporals and en-
listed men were SO sympathetic that
they let the officer of the day sleer
and collected a cash donation. They
found train crews that would put or
an extra car for them, and railroad
police who told them frankly that
orders had come down from above
to let no bonus marchers ride the
freights.
House from Negro Churchman.
They found garage men who re-
fused gasoline until they heard there
were members of the WES.L. among
them, and then either donated gas
or reduced the price to ridiculously
low level. They found Negro
church in Washington that had a
veteran on it's board of trustees, who
turned over church property for them
to lodge in for days.
They found stool pigeons and dis
rupters, and dealt with them. They
found farmers who donated food,
and gave them barns to sleep in, and
they also slept in brick kilns and
abandoned mines.
Through it all they hung to-
gether, kept up their morale, and
carried out their task. They go on
now to other tasks.

inauguration of the second Five Year
Plan which the workers and peasants
of the Soviet Union will carry out
under the slogan of, Build Class
less Socialist Society"
Shortcomings of Growth
One of such shortcomings grew out
of the problem of co-ordinating dis
tribution Of food supplies, with the
turbulent and enormous development
of the collective-farm movement. Al
though such shortcomings are i'm
mediately put forward and subjected
to merciless self criticism by the So
Wet Government and the entire pop
ulation, they have been seized upon
by the capitalist press to create the
impression that a serious food-short-
age exists in the Soviet Union.
The latest facts here show that
shortcomings in food distribution are
being rapidly overcome, while at the
same time unemployment and star
walton continue to grow and inflict
| tremendous suffering upon the toll
ers in capitalist countries.
Improve Food Supply
Considerable improvement of food
supply for the workers is expected as
result of the latest government de-
cision regulating deliveries by the So
Wet state farms, collective farms and
individual peasants.
Replacing the system of contracts
between cooperative or state agen-
cies and dairy product units, the new
regulation sets definite obligatory
quotas for each region and each type
Of producing unit Especial dairy
farms, collective farms with or with
out dairy farms, and individual peas
ants.
Benefit Farm Population
The new arrangement is of great
benefit to the collective and state
farms as the quotas are not excessive,
making available a surplus for the
free market and tending to stimulate
dairy production.
The regulation forbids local State
agencies to increase established quo
taS under any circumstances. Great
progress has been registered in the
production of State dairy farms
which now have over five million
head of cattle.
A similar system of meat deliveries
instituted during the recent months
is already resulting in greater supply,
increasing the meat diet of the work
ers and at the same time stimulating
cattle breeding.

Theodor Leipart is a member of the

the trade unions attitude to General
Won Schleicher. the new Chancellor

Replying to an inquiry regarding
Won Schleicfer's military control,
Leipart said:
"I assure you that General Schlei-
cher is not the man youthink he

speeches that have disturbed
French public opinion. But in de-
manding military equality he has
only expressed what every German

The French journalist added: 1.-THE
warmth with which Leipart speaks
makes me feel that he has very close
connection with Schleicher, and even
admires him greatly"
Need we add anything to this
capitalist paper's picture of the
German William Green, Hjslman
and Dubinsky rolled into one.

SPANISH SOCIALISTS FOR WAR

MADRTD.-The debate on the
military budget in the Spanish
Parliament throws interesting light
on the "pacifisIn" of the Socialists.
The Socialist deputy, Mariana Mo-
reno Mateo declared: although my
party is for peace, it is necessary to
support the new appropriations to
provide for q vast army and navy
because the next World War is pro-
baby very near, and when it breaks
out Spain should be prepared"
What difference is there between
these remarks and the preparedness
views of General Macarthur, Chief
of the U. S. Army staff?

other workers, is giving indications OF

= Adjustments who had announced a
general strike in protest gairst re-
duced wages and intolerable working
conditions were able to wreSt from
the bosses now contracts at higher
salaries and with reduced hours of
labor.
The strike was called off after
eight hours of negotiations between
employers and workers delegates in
the offices of the governor of the
province. While the negotiations
we're In progress a militant demon
stration of 5000 union members took
place in the street before the palace
Of the governor.
sANTANDER. A sympathetic
walkout in support of the striking
dock workers was declared recently
by all construction workers. Many
clashes have occurred between the
militant strikers and the scabs

ton The Civil Guard has placed
machine guns at strategic points
throughout the city.
VALENCIA.-The strike OF metal
workers in this city has been joined
by all electrical, garage and machine
shop workers. Commercial printers
also have gone on strike In protest
against a wage-cut agreement put
over on them by Largo Caballero,
Socialist Minister of Labor. Printers
on various newspapers have voted to
walk out on a sympathetic strike.

have been arrested in Salamanca
within the last few days. Deputy
Roja, Socialist leader, is endeavor-

the growing general strike movement
by making promises of doing some
thing for them"
The traitorous role of the Syndica1-
lists in the Spanish strikes is shown
by dispatch from the city of Oviedo,
dated December 18th. The leaders
= of the Sindicato Unico have ordered
all members Of the union to desert
the general strike now declared
Throughout the province of Oviedo.
The report adds that the leaders
hope" that the Miners union will
follow this example and order its
members back to work.
Despite this Syndicalist betrayal,
the Oviedo strike is still almost 100
per cent effective, New attacks upon
the strikers have been made by the
Civil Guard. One clash occurred in
the mountains near Turon, where
the combined forces Of the Civil
Guard, Assault Guard and the re-
gular army were required to dispense

arrested after stiff battle In which
