"CoNUERoRs OF THE NIGHT"

'CON UEROHS OF ItdE NIGHT
Few people are aware of one of the
most heroic and epical battles that
the Soviet Union carries on every
day of the year against a gigantic
enemy, the untamed and unhar-
messed world Of nature of the bleak
Arctic
Unknown heroes struggle here
from day to day, conquering the
primeval night for the cause of So
cialism. These scientific heroes
watch the winds and study the
sources, they chart virgin fields rich
in natural resources. There is a
powerful and gripping drama in
their struggle against nature as they
extend the boundaries of the So
cialist world.
Last year cooperating with "a
other nations, the Soviet Union par
ticipated in the Second Interna-
tional polar year for co-ordinated
polar exploration and study. Pos
sessing the largest Arctic frontier of
any nation in the world, and being
interested in building mighty indus
tries near and above the Arctic
circle, the U. S. S. r. established the
most extensive system of Arctic radio
and scientific stations ever main
tanned by any nation.
The icebreaker Malygin of italia"
fame was sent out as part Of the
second International Polar Year.
During the cruise four new islands
were discovered, existing maps were
amended and enlarged, the world
famous meeting with the Graf Yep
pin at Franz Joseph Land took place.
At Franz Joseph Land, too, spe-
cial cinema shock brigade went
ashore. They created a powerful
and stirring drama from the life Of
the scientific workers who wintered
in the Arctic. This photoplay, a
talkie, "Conquerors of the Night" is
now in it's second week at the Acme
Theatre. The picture has an original
music score played by the Lenin-
grad Symphony Orchestra.

Stories are told of workers coming

sunrise and walking many weary
miles in half-starved condition to
their jobs.
The pay was recently cut from $45
a month to $40 Now the present cut
in the form of a vacation" without

PICK LaGUARDIA
AS FUSION CHOICE
FOR N. Y. MAYOR
Republican, He Had
Support of Socialist
Party in 1924

NEW YORK, Aug. At is ex-
pected that Fiorello La Guardia, re-
cent member of the House of Re-
representatives. from New York, will be
nominated for Mayor, as the fusion
candidate.
There have been many disputes
among the various factions of
Republicans and "anti- Tammany"
groups over the choosing of the
fusion Mayor to run against the
Tammany Mayor OBrien. They have
finally agreed on the choice Of
Samuel Seabury, leader of the reg
ular" Democrats against the Tam
many crowd.
Regular Republican
La Guardia has distinguished him
self as a demagogue, fighting against
prohibition, and for any particular
trivial issue that promised his pub
licity as a liberal" On all funda-
mental issues, he has defended the
interests of the capitalist class. He
is a member of the Republican
Party.
Supported by Socialists
His political career has been
marked by attempts to always be on
the winning side, having been in
succession, and sometimes stimuli
taneously Republican, a Fusionist,
a Democrat and a Socialist
In 1924, he was supported by the
Socialist Party for Congress as
hacker of La Toilette. He was then
called in Congress the Socialist"
congressman.
He has supported William Ran
dolph Hearst for public office. He
gained publicity as a disarmament
advocate. But at the same time he
was advocating large independent
air force for the United States.
He has never uttered one word of
criticism of the Fascist dictatorship
of Mussolini, but has been prominent
as an escort of visiting Fascist Of
ficials to Washington.
His latest maneuver and one that
reveals not only his character but
the character of the people with
whom he is playing it, is his active
support of the Socialist Rand School
financial drive.
OF all the candidates in the field
for mayor, only the Communist Party
candidate, Robert Minor, is truly
foe of the capitalist Tammany ad-
miniStration. Minor, member of
the Central Committee of the Com
munist Party has distinguished him
self as leader of the unemployed
workers demonstrating for immediate
relief at City Hall. Clubbed at the
unemployed demonstration at Union
Square in 1880, Minor served six
months in jail. He will lead the city
workers fight for immediate relief
and unemployed insurance to be paid
for by taxing the rich, cancelling the
huge interest payments to the Wall
Street bankers. and slashing the graft
salaries Of the big Tammany office
holders.

Far Trade Admitted
by District Attorney
Fur Dyers Strike Solid; Rabbit Dressers Meet
Today To Plan Fight On Racket ars

forces towards modifying the workers
to put an end to this condition. This
was already stated in the letter to
the district attorney that "the union
has declared war upon these racke-
teers and will continue an endless
struggle until they are fully elm
mated from the industry" The let
ter of the union points out that
racketeers are. working under the di-
rect guidance of the International
Fur Workers Union, which is affili-
ated with the American Federation Of
Labor.
A committee Of the union will pre-
sent the facts to the acting district
attorney and demand immediate &C
ton to curb the elements who have
made threats on the lives of the
union leaders.

gang in other states, it will undoubt-
edly be a matter of federal investi-
cation. This will be placed before
the special Senate INVESTIGATION COM
mittee on racketeering. The Needle
Trades Workers Industrial Union is
therefore preparing to demand from
the special Copeland Senate COM
mittee. which plans TO meet on Aug.
IA, that it be given an opportunity
to openly present facts on the situa-
ton in the fur industry.

fur dyers, involving 1000 workers, is
in excellent condition, with every
shop in the industry paralyzed At

ing to work with scabs, the workers
carried through a mass picketing
demonstration to prevent scabs from

A meeting of all rabbit dressers will
be held today at II am. at the Of
flee of the union, where the latest
developments will be taken up in
connection with the racketeers, and
how to combat them.

GIVEN AN HOUR
TO QUIT HARTFORD
Gypsies Got Into Trouble
on Theft Charge in
Capital City
PAID COURT COSTS

Four gypsies who claimed that
they were headed for Waterbury
to join members of a band PLAN
ming to stage a show in this city
were arraigned last evening in New
Hartford on the charge of theft.
They were assessed the cost of the
court. $14.75, and given their free
dom on condition that they leave
town within an hours notice. Word
was sent here in advance of them
informing the police of their film
flam game.
1t was alleged that one of the
women of the party entered the
office of Walter c. Woodruff,
prominent resident of New Hart
ford and inquired for directions
to a doctors office. One of her
companions engaged Cyrus w. KEEL
logg, who was present in the Of
flee. in. a conversation. She asked
him for nickel and promised to
place charm on 1t. He was to
place the coin in his wallet and it
would bring him luck. She placed
the coin for Mr. kellogg and the
charm worked wonderfully for the
gypsies. Mr. Kellogg discovered
a few minutes after the party had
departed that he had been robbed
of $40. With the aid of the state
troopers from the Canaan barracks

Former Merchants
Trust Officer To
Get u. S. Position
Mentioned in Washington Dispatches as Manager of
Conn Home Loan Bank-Now Working at Re-
giOnaI Home Loan Bank in Cambridge, Mass

Peter M. Kennedy, former exec
utfve vice-president of the Mer-
chants Trust company, may be-
come Connecticut manager of the
Home Loan bank, reports from
Washington, d. c., indicate. The
Home Loan bank bill, passed last
week by congress, provides for the
naming of a state manager. News
of Mr.. Kennedy's chances of being
named to this highly important po-
sition was received in Waterbury
today with much satisfaction.
Last year, it will be remembered,
Mr. Kennedy received an executive
appointment with the regional
Home Loan bank for New Eng
land. The administration of af-
fairs, however, was directed from
Cambridge, Mass.
Now, 1t is understood, the direc-
tors of the Cambridge institution
are seeking to have Mr. Kennedy
made Connecticut manager. This
will give Connecticut a bank of
its own in the Home Loan chain.
Mr. Kennedy is considered very
capable to handle the. operations
of the proposed institutions.
1t is reported, also, that Mr. Ken
nedy has the support of the Home
Loan bank board in Washington.
This being the case, it is very likely
that his appointment as Connect
cut manager will come through
quickly.
After leaving the Merchants
Trust company, Mr.. Kennedy be-
came connected with the state
banking department under State
Banking Commissioner Bassett. He
occupied this position only a short
time, however, resigning to take
up his duties in Cambridge with
the Home Loan bank.
