Siberia. JIMMY MATTERN."

AnaQlr is a traQlng posi- on tne
Anadir River, in the far northeast
ern Siberia, desolate region just
under The Arctic Circle There is
no means of communication, and
it is considered quite possible that
Mattern could have been there more
than three weeks without being able
to get word out.
After being feted by Moscow air.
men, he took off for Khabarovsk,
Siberia, June IA. Upon his depar-
ture he thanked Soviet airmen and
mechanics for repairing his ship,
and expressed a desire to return to
the Soviet Union for a more leis-
urely visit some time in the future.
He left Khabarovsk, and took off on
the dangerous flight across the Ber-
ing Straight to Nome, Alaska, after
having been forced back by ice
coated wings on the previous day.
No further word was heard from
him, and it was feared he had been
lost. An extensive search revealed
no clue.
The Soviet Air Ministry, upon
hearing that Mattern was safe, at
once issued instructions to the chief
of the northern aviation service to
contact Mattern and forward de-
tails of his situation. This branch
of the Soviet air service had pre-
viously been instructed to keep close
watch. Air officials expressed sur
prise that Mattern by himself had
been able to obtain his own means
of informing Moscow of his where
abouts.
WASHINGTON, July 7.-U. S.
coast guard officials today instructed
the cutter, the Northland, which is
300 miles off the coast of Siberia,
to cooperate with Soviet authori-
ties in bringing back Jimmy Mat
tern, world flier.
The Northland cannot go into
Soviet waters without permission
and at present is communicating
by wireless with Soviet officials in
Siberia.

CUT RELIEF
AS LIVING
COST RISES
Demand forJobless In
surance Must Grow
Stronger Now!
FOOD UP 20 P. c. IN WEEK
Federal Relief Cut to
Aid Strikebreaking
But Living Costs for
Workers Goes Up

WASHINGTON July 7-Confiden-
tial information to the bosses con-
tanned in the Whaley- Eaton Service
No. TIA says: 1.-THE government is
greatly concerned over possible labor
troubles due to the advancing cost
of living. A study is being made now
to determine if localities are entitled
to federal relief funds if the distress
is due to strikes"
This information coming from an
employers service with close connec-
tons in high government bureaus in
dicateS that the Roosevelt regime ex-
poets growing demands for unemploy-
ment relief and unemployment in
surance. 1t also stresses the fact that
under the new deal the use of federal
relief funds will be devoted to the
breaking of strikes. Where strikes
break out against starvation wages,
due to rising living costs, the relief
will be withdrawn from unemployed
workers in an effort to force the I'M
employed to scab.
Each week brings new reports of
rising living cost. The latest is from
Dun & Bradstreets, business Stats
tical organization, which indicates
that for the past week the rise in
food costs was per cent. In the
previous week it was per cent. Each
week the cost of living rises at an adj
vancing rate.
While cutting down relief at a
time when costs are going up, the
Roosevelt government spends more for
war. The expenditures for the navy
have been increased from $685., 1000, 900
to over $550,000,000 The total war ex-
penditures have already reached near
the billion mark.
The rise in the cost of living has
already cut the meagre amount Of
relief received by the unemployed The
daily rise in food costs will cut this
relief still further.
The Roosevelt government knows
that there will be struggles of the I'M
employed for increased relief and is
taking measures now to defeat them
or to stave them off. The unemployed
workers must organize and develop
immediate struggles for relief on the
basis of the rapidly rising food costs.
They must struggle along with the
employed against lowering living
standard for the entire working class.
Against the war expenditures the
slogan of all war funds for unem-
ployment insurance should wiring out.
There must be firmer organization of
the unemployed, increased activities
of the Unemployed councils for more
relief and for unemployment insur-
ance.

POLICE ATTACK
STRIKE MEET IN
ROCHESTER, N. Y.
Politicians A SIX Help
of Governor Lehman
to Break Strike

ROCHESTER N. Y, July Police
attacked relief workers who are strik-
ing against a wage cut when they
tried to march on city hall to hold
a demonstration. Tear gas bombs and
clubs were used against the jobless
workers. Two were seriously hurt and
taken to the hospital and four were
arrested.
Police pushed gun in the
stomach of Frank Costa, 60-year-
old father of the Unemployed
Council organizer. Costa was beaten
and sent to hospital where
council committee to see him was
refused admittance.
Women and children were at the
head of the march attacked by the
police.
The strikers have tied up all work
in city and county projects with most
of the 5000 worker striking. The
General Welfare Committee of 8" at
its meeting in Hotel Rochester, Thurs
day night recommended a wage rate
of 40 cents an hour. The officials al
ready agree to five cents more an
hour, when originally they proposed
IS cents. The strikers demand so
cents an hour on all labor jobs and
recognition of committees elected by
the workers.
Politicians Disrupt
Democratic politicians supported by
other misleaders are trying to break
the strike by bringing division among
the workers A committee of
headed by the democratic council
man Charles Stanton appealed d.
rectly to Governor Lehman to nego-
tiate a settlement in which the work
ers will get part of the wage cut.
The committee was well satisfied after
it's private meeting with Lehman and
intend to go ahead with these disrup-
tive tactics.
The Strike Committee authorized to
speak in the name of the strikers was
elected by the workers at meeting
in Washington Square Park in the
early period of the strike.
The strikers hold their ranks solid
and will not allow any attempts to
bring decentralization All negotiations
will be carried on by the elected strike
committee recognized by the workers
and final approval will only be de-
cided by vote OF all workers.
