REBELS KILL IL
IN SHARP FIGHT
us. Marines Rushed
to Nicaraguan Town

MANAGUA, Oct, 30.-All the stu
dents of the Nicaraguan Military
Academy with their United States
Marine Corps instructors were rushed
yesterday to Chichigalpa in the dis
trict Of Chinandega to round up one
hundred insurgent peasants.
A dispatch from Chichigalpa re-
vealsd that the insurgent peasants
engaged in heavy fighting with q
patrol of National Guardsmen, killing
IL of them Their commander, Lieu
tenant Sotomayor is reported to be
one of the killed.
About so rebels are said to be killed
or wounded. The rebels were COM
manded by Umanzor, known as one
of their most daring commanders.
The fact that the United States
Marines were dispatched against the
insurgents is interpreted as reversing
the recently announced policy Of
placing native officers in charge Of
the National Guardsmen. The United
States Marines are supposed to leave
Nicaragua February 1888, when the
commitment" of United States i'm
perialism in this country officially
expires.
1t is reported that the United
States government is seeking an ex-
cuse for not withdrawing the Marine
Corps.

RuSSak Stays On
Lawrence Ballot
Break Thru Ban

LAWRENCE, Mass, Oct. 3d.
Martin Russak, Communist alder
manic candidate, stays on the ballot
in this city. A mass of documentary
evidence showing that for three gen
erations his family has been weav-
ing cloth in the mills of this country
forced the board of registrars to
certify him as a citizen and a voter
and to abandon the attempt to throw
his name off the ballot.
Russak has, under the code here.
been forced to run as an indepen-
dent, but makes it clear that he is
endorsed by the Communist Party.
Friday, at his first big meeting since
the city authorities ban on Commu-
mist meetings, hundreds heard him
speak. He will speak at many mill
gate meetings this week. He is run
ming for the position on the board
of aldermen which carries with it the
direction of "welfare and charities,
that is, relief.
The board of registrars ruled June
Croll and Joe Figuerado, textile
worker and unemployed worker lead
ers, off the list of voters on the ex-
cuse Of not long enough residence in
Lawrence. Croll is Communist Party
section organizer in Lawrence. She
spoke before the board of registrars
and exposed the hand of the New
York bankers, who dominate the
mills here and through them the city
government.
She exposed their continued effort
to prevent Communist votes in this
mill town. She declared she would
vote Communist next year even if
the board of registrars themselves
must testify to years residence
here for her.

the order is only $500 every ten
days.
These orders consist of the poorest
type of food. Some of the stores
filling these orders do not even put
in the slightest amount of fresh
meat. Those with eight and nine
in the family use this amount up in
five days at the most.
Cut Not Accepted Quietly
This cut in relief was not accepted
quietly by the workers in Hammond.
Although many of them seemed to be
unwilling to accept the full program
of the Unemployed Council they are
willing to fight against this cut, and
movement of both the organized and
unorganized workers are beginning to
unite in a fight to maintain their
existing standard in face of this
latest attempt to reduce them to still
further starvation.
Two weeks ago, one group Of
neighbors and friends with one or
two council members formed united
front and descended on the county
commissioner at Grown Point and
demanded increases in relief orders,
free gas and light, free fuel and no
eyictions besides demanding the

In this part Of the paper the Ma

plOyed Councils will publish daily
instructions and advise on the pre-"
parations for the National Hunger
March. The first article is belowJ
In the preparations for the de.
velopment of local struggles, hunger
hearings can become an important
factor. From the ht:le experience Of
last year, we can state, that prac-
tically all public hearings were at
tended by masses OF workers, and TO
a large extent exposed starvation.
However, the hearings Of last year,
were primarily of an agitatiorlal
character and did not serve to
strengthen ourselves organizationally,
neither did we utilize the open
hearings to develop the initiative Of
the workers for struggle, and the
development of the committee form
of organization.
The public hearings must be drama
tie starvation conditions in the
neighborhoods on the basis Of the
miserable relief given. This should be
utilized to work out demands and
develop action for these demands.
We must show that those who get
relief on the bosses standard, are
actually Ivig at starvation level. To
develop struggle only for the dis
crminated workers, limits the
struggle.
At the hearing we should through
actual witnesses examine a basket
given by the city, its contents, period
of time, number in family, and show
that the relief" given is actually
undermining the health Of the
workers.
We should have at the public hear
ings a physician to examine the chill
dren of workers who get relief, after
the exposure of relief, evictions, shut
ting off of gas, forced labor, ETC., we
shall ask the workers to accept de-
mandS GROUND these issues, to work
out program Of action, elect COM
mittee Of workers which shall lead
the struggle for the adopted demands.
We must use the hearings to expose
the city or county officials on the
basis Of their own statements and
promises. These local officers and
relief heads, shall be called upon TO
defend their statements and actions
at these hearings.
The unemploye din Lawrence car
ried through a splendid hearing, but
forgot to take organiZational action
and of course therefore, there was
no building UP of committee.
There should be thousands of public
hearings in every city. neighbohood.
Expose the miserable relief given to
the workers, discrimination, evictions,
etc. Expose the demagogues and their
promises. Every hunger hearing must
result in actual organization, work
ing out Of demands, electing Of CON-
mittees and in making a program Of

S2.70 Per Week for

FAITH, S. D.-A demonstration OF
Hoover's program for unemployed
relief Is being made here.
Money is being loaned by the r.
F. c. to the state for road building
purposes but with certain conditions
regarding how it is to be spent.
A gravelling contractor is compelled
to hire unemployed family men for
distributing the gravel over the roads
by hands, with syovels. For this, men
are paid 80 cents an hour for a
maximum week of 80 hours or $500
They are charged $500 for board
and room SO it leaves $2.70 for the
family.
This method is so wasteful that the
contractor offered to pay all of the
men their wages and let them stay
home, keeping two if he would be
permitted to use his grader
However, this does not fit in with

SOVIET METAL
INDUSTRY AHEAD
While Capitalist Pro
duction Falls
Cable by Inprecorr)


MOSCOW, Oct. 80. - The Soviet
Government has done a tremendous
work in connection with the recon-
struction of old plants and the build
ing of new ones.
The Government has achieved great
successes in an exceptionally short
period in the field of nonferrous met
allurgy. In 1881 the production of
rough copper reached Ito per cent,
that of zinc $40 per cent and the out
put of lead 800 per cent of the pre-
war levels. A new progress has been
obtained in the current year.
New Plants
In 1882 the smelling of these metals
formed 1896 per cent of last years
smelling. While several zinc plants
abroad completely stopped work, in
the Soviet Union new plants started
to work in Constatinovka and Balov,
with a capacity of 10000 tons each
In addition, the already existing plant
in the Ordjonikidze town was greatly
extended.
Two more electrolytic zinc plants
will be started in Celiabinsk and Or
gionikidze in 1892. The much devel-
oped Volkov aluminium plant started
to work, the first of its kind in the
Soviet Union. A giant aluminium
plant will be started in the nearest
future on the Dnieper. Thi plant
will be supplied with current from
the Dnieprogess.
Results of Workers Enthusiasm
The production of such metals as
wolfram, molybdenum and arsenic
has been already introduced. The
first combined nickel plant in Ufaley
is about to start work. The first out
put will be obtained this year at the
giant Soviet nonferrous metallurgy
lead plant.
These successes Of Soviet industry
have been possible only on the basis
of the greatest revolutionary enthusi-
asm existing in the working class
which has taken power into its OWL
hands and is constructing socialism
in one sixth of the world by it's owr
effort and for its own benefit.
Report New Successes
Today, before the 18th anniversary
of the November Revolution, before
the 18th anniversary of the prole-
tartan dictatorship the workers o1
the Soviet Union are reporting from
all sections of the country new tre-
mendous successes won by them.
At Kuznetsk a new metallurgicaI
plant is completely ready for produc-
ton. The plant is ruling the first lot
of ingots today. This is the first
blooming, "a process of pounding Oh
rolling metal into bars) of the Five
Year Plan, included in the industrial
giants of the Soviet Union, which will
begin working by the 18th anniYer-
sary of the November Revolution.
The workers of the blast furnace
No. 6 in the Stain Metallurgical
plant (Dombas) report that they have
fulfilled on october 26, before the date
set, their monthly task by 102 pei
cent.
The workers of the Magnitogorsl
blast furnace also report about theil
successes. On october 26 both blast
furnaces Of the Magnitogorsk plant
yielded 2,162 tons of pig iron, exceed
ing the planned yield. This is not al
accidental record, but a result Of the
systematic raise in smelling on the
basis Of the widely developed socialist
competition an dshock activity.

Dear Editor:
The National Committee of the
Unemployed Councils made public
through the Daily Worker the Pro-
gram of Action for the preparation
of the National Hunger March to
Washington.
This program must penetrate into
the remotest regions Of the country
and it's contents discussed by the
workers.
The Workers and Farmers cores
pondents especially can play a very
important role. They can distribute
this program of action widely, and
initiate organization Of hunger march
discussion circles.
During the 1905 Revolution in Rus
sia, found myself in a little village.
1 was yet very young. In the village
grocery store 1 made it my business
to discuss the political events with
peasants coming to the store. can
remember it very well, even though
was young, how some peasants be-
came so interested, that they asked
for me if I was not there.
Worker and Farmer correspondents
can do a great deal to penetrate into
wider circles of the toiling masses
on the basis of organizing them for
struggle to obtain real relief from the
government "A Worker.
