SEPTEMBER

THESE Ire the truest days of all,

Spring is all youth, for spring for

Amid its opening violets,
The eyes of viOlets shall close.
April forgets. September knows.
September knows the birds that

Like human happiness, take wing.

Because she knows that things de

Spring scarce possesses, being sure /;
We love things most that least en-

We love things most we soon may

So many blossoms spring may

She chooses none. We closer clasp
That which already slips our grasp.
The summer comes, the summer

Despite the open-yoice threats to

Two thousand leather strikers faced
tear gas and ciubbings on the picket
line today when they struggled to
prevent police from breaking their
ranks at the tannery plant OF the G.

ton prohibiting them from picketing.

brutality of police and sworn deputies
and are demanding their removal

Elmer F. Andrews, State Industrial
Commissioner who was called in by
the National Labor Board to mediate
the strike, now in its sixth week
were considered by the general strike
committee Of the Independent Leath-

mittee agreed to accept the proposals
as a basis for negotiating a settle
ment. The strikers were scheduled
to meet the Tanners Association to-
day.
The recommendations for settle

Soviet Recognition and the Capitalist Press
AN EDITORIAL

IT HAS been exceedingly instructive to watch the
capitalist press Of this country desperately trying
explain away the unwilling tribute to the triumphs
of the Soviet Union, which is implicit in the Roose-
welt recognition of the worlds first Soviet State.
One central purpose has been only too clear in
the reaction of the capitalist press to this momentous
event.
This is to hide the fact that the Roosevelt recog-
milton is basicaly determined by the Victories Of So
cialst construction, on the hand, and the ad-
vance Of the capitalist crisis in the United States on
the other.
And the major method which the capitalist press
to conceal the fact that 1t is the growing crisis
in America that finally forced the American Govern
ment to recognize the Soviet Union is to make it
If the Soviet Government has at last agreed
to make certain fundamental changes in its nterna-
tonal relations policies.
A quick glance over the headlines of capitalist
papers all the United States indicates the way
which this is being done. We such typical head
lines as this: Russia Pledges Religious Liberty"
Soviet Government Gives Sweeping Pledges" etc.
There is hardly class conscious worker in America
or anywhere else, who will be taken in by this cold
self-consolation and deception
In few words the "Pravda' central organ Of
the Communist Party Of the Soviet Union states the
heart of the matter:
'What seemed impossible for sixteen years was
carried out in few days. This Is explained by the
fact that the causes determining change in Amer

themselves recently more insistentiy and impe-

Unemployed Councils nave issued
call to all workers to resist being
taken off relief lists.
Eighty thousand more workers in
the state of New Jersey will be taken
off relief in a short time, it was an
nounced by John Colt, state erner-
gency relief administrator. In Illi-
nois 187,000, within short period,
will be off the relief lists.
Mayor-elect LaGuardia, of New
York City, is en- route to Washing
ton, via Jamai99 and Havana, to
ask for federal funds. TIC funds
are not to be used for the unem-
ployed workers, but for building
costs for subways, buildings, etc. La
Guardia let it be known that re-
quest for funds for housing prclec 5
lis most tentative, and is o difficult
problem" In other words, LaGuardia
will not insist on funds that might
benefit tine workers. The Roosevelt
plan calls for removal OF several
hundred thousand from the rehef
rolls of New York State in the I'M
mediate future. There are million
and quarter unemployed in New
York City alone, and no provision
is proposed by LaGuardia for relief.
On the contrary, he has agreed to
Roosevelt's plan to remove those al
ready on relief from the relief rolls.
Tks National Committee of the
Unetiployed Councils declared chat
the preparations for the national
unemployed convention, to be held
Jan. 10 in Washington, should center
around the fight against Roosevelt's
forced labor scheme and removal OF
workers from relief. The Unemployed
Councils outlined the following steps
for organizing the fight against
forced labor: Form an organiz-
ing group on each job and through

organization to fight for union wag-
es and against all grievances; AT
O meeting of all the workers on the
lob, or as many as can be brought
together, elect a grievance commit
tee: 3-Link up the organization on
the different jobs through delegates;
Build up a Relief Workers Union,
or association, representing all the
men on the job; 5-The Relief
Workers Union should be tied up
with the Unemployed Council of the

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20. = Defi-
mite diplomatic action for swift ex-
change OF Soviet and American dip
lomatic and consular representatives
were discussed today as Maxim LIT
vinoff and American officials met In
the final phases of Soviet-American
conversations.
The Soviet Foreign Commissar
talked with Under Secretary Phillips
Of the State Department for an hour
and ten minutes, and it was said
afterward that they considered prac-
tical matters in connection with the
setting up Of embassies and consul
ates both In the U.S.SR. and the
United States.
Visits Harper's Ferry
Litvinoff began his last few days
Of talks refreshed by an automobile
trip that took him yesterday to
Harpers Ferry, where John Brown
made his famous stand In 1860,
marched in with 10 men and cap
tured an arsenal in the hope that
Negro slaves would come down from
the hills and join in slaves in

some months later, hanged. Over
this historic ground (the John
Brown hanging was one Of the
things that precipitated the civil
war; Litvinoff and a small group
Of Russians drove slowly, studying
every marked spot.
The conversations this week are
expected to lay the basis for trade
and debt agreements which will be
completed later through regular rep
resentatives, such as Alexander
Troyanovsky, Soviet Ambassador
designate. Official information was
lacking as to the length the Rus
sian-American talks will go toward
settling these vital matters and OBJ
servers disagreed as to the prospect
for important decision. One element
which may influence this Is time.
Planning Return
It was said by American officials
today that Litvinoff is planning to
sail home on Wednesday or Satur-
day. The latter seems more likely

the U.S.S.R., today broadcasted
a message of greetings to the Ameri-
can people on the occasion Of estab-

Speaking over the radio at the Of
flee of Alexey Rykoff, Commissar of
Posts and Telegraphs, Kalinin said:
"At this moment when normal Of
fetal relations between our two
States are being established, I am
glad to transmit in the name of the
peoples Of the Union of Soviet So
cialist Republics hearty greeting to
the people of the United States Of
America.
U. s. s. r.. Advances
TN the past sixteen years the toll
ers of the cities and villages of the
Soviet Union showed to the whole
world examples of tremendous Gre
alive work. With intense efforts
they turned our country in short
time from backward agrarian into
an advanced industrial country, and
it is precisely because Of this that
our workers and peasants look with
the greatest interest and attention to
the country of advanced technical
progress, the United States Of Amer
lea.
"The most important condition for
securing the technical progress and
well-being of the people is the preser-
walton and strengthening Of peace
betweeS. nations.
Artificial Obstacles
81 am convinced that now, when
all artificial obstacles for full and
manifold contact between the peo-
pies of our two great countries are
removed it will greatly benefit not
only their mutual interests but also
the economic and cultural progress
Of mankind and the strengthening
Of universal peace.
"I strongly believe that now will
begin an era of fruitful and mani
fold cooperation between our two
nations.
"I am convinced that the Joy
which we feel on this occasion is
shared all over the world by every
body to whom is dear the progress
of humanity and peace among ma
