Soviet Life in the Making
Olgin's Saturday Lectures on What Is Happening
in the Soviet Union"

quoted to us descriptions of the fes-
tivities that took place in every city
OF the U.S.S.R. in connection with
! the beginning of the school year, You
could almost hear the tramping of
the feet of 10000 boys and girls
marching through the Park OF Cul-
ture and Rest on the eve of the
opening of the schools.
We have heard from the press that
the situation of the collective farm
ers (kolho3niks) has improved with
the new haryests How much has 1t
improved? What, does the improve
ment mean for the future? Who is to
be credited With the Improvement?
Comrade Olgin quotes definite exam
pies. He gives the names OF villages
and districts in the Ukraine where,
year ago, the food shortage was
most acute He takes individual peas
ants, members of the collective farms,
and shows hownuch corn and wheat
and rye and potatoes the family got
this year, how much is needed to
cover the food requirements of the
family, how much remains to cover
other expenses The figures are start
ling. You realise-not in the abstract,
but concretely,-wh we have a right
to say the kolilozniks are becoming
"affluent.'
And how about, Socialist construc-
ton? The ChelyabinSk Tractor Plant,
the Ural Machine Plant, the Azov
Oil Fields, the Stain Aautomobile
Plant, the Coal Mine Ivan and dozens
of others are presented not as names
only, but as things real, throbbing
with life, where problems arise every
hour and are being solved by the
creative efforts OF The workers under
the leadership, Of the Communist
Party, Comrade Olgin, here as else
where, gives US not only the achieve
ments, but also, The difficulties and
the way they are being overcome.
We have all heard about the ma
tionaI equality within the Soviet
Union. We know about the feminist
solution of the national problem. But
when We hear about the Republic of
the Chuvsch or the Republic OF the
Mordva, of which We know nothing
here, when we realize the number of
schools, colleges, research institutes,
theatres and other cultural institu-
tons in possession of those minority
nationalities, all conducted in their
own tongues which Is years ago did
not even exist as written languages,
only then do we realize what the
cultural revolution means to the peo-
Piles of the Soviet Union.
Perhaps the most impressive thing
that the writer experienced in Com
rade Olgin's lectures were the biog-
raphies of average workers and young
workers now occupying positions as
shock brigaders in the various in
duStries. Here we see the new man in
the making.
Comrade Olgin has also dwelt con-
siderably on the foreign relations of
the Soviet Union, in connection with
Litvinoff's arrival in the United
States. The most vivid was his con-
trast of the Genoa Conference of
1922 and the Washington Conference
of 1888.
The lectures are held every Satur-
day at 3 pm, and are open to every
body.

BY CARL REEVE

The November issue of the Steel
and Metal Worker, official organ of
the Steel and Metal Workers Indus
trial Union, reflects the sharpening
of the fight of the steel workers
against starvation conditions. Stories
from Ambridge, Buffalo, the Calumet
Basin, Weirton, W. Va, Pittsburgh,
Youngstown, and many other steel
centers, tell of strikes which were
either led by the Steel and Metal
Workers Industrial Union or in which
the industrial union played an influ-
entail role. In some of these strikes
victories were won, as in Buffalo,
where the union won a 16 to 81 per
cent increase for 300 steel workers.
The fight against the bloody terror
inaugurated under the MIRA. against
the steel workers, notably in the AM
bridge strike occupies, of course,
prominent space in the Steel and
Metal Worker. The statement of a
delegation of discharged and black
listed Arnbridge strikers to Governor
Pinchot lists the terroristic acts of
the employers against the Ambridge
strikers and demands that all dis
charged workers be re-instated. Other
stories describe the killing of one and
wounding of 100 strikers. The work.
er correspondence shows that the
Ambridge workers are reforming
their ranks and building the union
in spite of the terror.
The two full pages of workers cor
| respondence and other stories and
editorials indicate that Importance is
correctly placed upon work within the
A. F. of l.. union, the Amalgamated
Association Of Iron, Steel and Tin
| Workers, The magazine also reflects
the growing organizational activities,
in reports Of regional and local con-
ferences and conventions. The strug-
| gle against the A. F. of L. leadership
Is further related in the story of the
strike of the 1000 shipyard and dock
Yard workers around New York City.
One of the shortcomings of the
magazine, which is one of the best of
the publications of the revolution
airy unions, is lack of news regarding
the struggle against unemployment
and for the Workers Unemployment
Insurance Bill. A stronger leadership
by the magazine in this field, acting
as an organizer, giving the line and
activities against unemployment,
would strengthen the Steel and Metal
Worker and the union.
More shop experiences of individual
shops, showing examples Of how the
organization and struggle was car
ried on inside this shop, should be
encouraged, especially from worker
correspondents. There are not yet
sufficient articles summarizing and
generalizing the political and organ
national problems Of the steel indus
try and the union as whole on a
! national scale. There is also inslffi-
cient political news, or articles, draw
ing the political lessons of the eco
nomic and partial struggles. Short
news items and articles covering other
industries. particularly related indus
tries, such as coal, and some inter
national news, are lacking.
The Steel and Metal Worker Is a
fighting paper, which is well directed
toward the reporting and guiding
the struggles Of the steel workers
and their organization. All steel
workers should not only read the pa
per carefully. but should write cor
respondence for 1t.

Penal Admins trdtton
In the Soviet Union

Here, too. there are red and white
notice boards which perform educa-
tional work in the factories. The
working hours in the penal institu-
tons are not longer than IN the work
shops and factories. namely, seven
hours for adults and four to six hours
for people under 10 years Of age.
Wages are determined according to
the same principles as in the facto-
ries, and everyone has eight to u
days holiday every year.
During free time care is taken to
increase the qualifications Of and
train and educate the prisoners.
In order to promote the sense Of re-
sponsibility the system of self-admin-
istration has been introduced in the
penal institutions. The majority OF
cases Of breaches Of discipline come
before a Court consisting Of prison
ers themselves.
Far more than half the prisoners
are placed in institutions which are
not locked, while at the same time
the number of overseers is ridiculous
ly small. There are institutions where
there are only four warders to $50
prisoners. But the educational inflU-
ence Of communal life and common
work is such that attempts TO escape
are very rare.
The open institutions of the GPU.
are particularly interesting. Only ha-
bitual criminals are placed in these
institutions; as a rule such as are
under Is years OF age. They are first
selected by commission consisting
itself Of criminals" who have proved
their worth in many years Of work IN
the institution. In making the Sc
lection it is firm principle that only
those people are TO be chosen who
have shown certain solidarity and
fidelity to the band of criminals to
which they belonged. 1t is found that
in these institutions for so-ealled
hardened, habitual criminals, from
which it is very easy TO escape, not
more than per cent run away. A
further per cent are removed on
the decision Of the prisoners meet
ings as unsuitable, while "a per cent
make good.
The building of the Baltic-W White
Sea Canal by prisoners working az
free laborers is a wonderful achieve
ment. Former sabotagers, murderers
and thieves have not only taken part
in this work as unskilled workers, but
also occupied leading technical posi-
tons. Thousands Of them thereby
earned their early release and some
Of them even received rewards and
distinctions from the proletarian Re-
public.
In order to gain q clear idea of
penal administration in the Soviet
Union one must realize that people
who have served a prison sentence
are in no way at disadvantage, as
in view of the big demand for work
ers they are sure of finding work i'm
mediately after their discharge from
the penal institution, and that,
thanks to the training they have re-
ceived in the institutions, they are
able to secure a better material and
social position than they formerly
enjoyed.
Penal administration in the Soviet
Union proves the superiority Of the
socialist principle over the methods
of capitalism, which destroy human
life and human dignity.

Editor, Daily Worker.
Dear Comrade:
In his review of the Soviet film
Laughter Through Tears" Comrade
Francis Antico speaks about the pro-
gress of the Soviet cinema, pointing
to the current feature at the Acme
as an example of the Startling gains
made in the past few years" 1t hap
pens that this film is one Of the
antique items Of the Soviet cinema,
1t had been lying on the Amkino
shelves for at least four years before
it was shown here.
The reviewer also wakes enthusi-
astic over the acting Of the Moscow
Art Theatre actors in this film. 1t
is true, that the actors Of that fine
theatre are a very talented body of
performers, but it is also true that
they do not play in Laughter
Through Tears"
AS you see, the review by Comrade
Antico does not square with the facts.
Perhaps the reviewer will dismiss
this objection with the well-known
so much the worse for the facts. f."
But I still maintain that misinforma-
ton is a poor basis for any theory,
even If its intent is above reproach.

MoisSaye j. Olgin, editor of the
Freiheit, has undertaken new eX-
pertinent He is speaking at the Work
ers School every Saturday afternoon,
at pm, on Recent Events in the
U.S.S.R." He gathers his material
from Soviet newspapers and maya
zines and, placing this information
against his background of knowledge
of the history of the Revolution and
of Socialist construction, he draws
vivid pictures of how life is being
built under workers rule.
The experiment is new and, accord
ing to those who have frequented the
lectures, it is successful. We are used
to talks about the Soviet Union lin
general" We are also used to talks
attempting to explain everything" in
one lecture about the Soviet Union.
This naturally cannot be done. Life in
the Soviet Union has become vastly
complicated. There are so many as
poets of it. So many problems have
arisen. So many kinds of activities
are going on simultaneously. To I'M
derstand Socialist construction and to
appreciate its achievements it is nee
essary to know the facts in their
proper setting. The facts are numer-
Gus and in Conlrade Olgin's presen-
tation they acquire their real revo-
lutionary significance for us here.
Comrade Olgin deals with the most
recent happenings. The school year
began in the Soviet Union. Comrade
Olgin gave us not only the number OF
pupils in the primary and secondary
schools, not only the number Of stu
dents in the higher institutions of
learning; he not only showed us the
composition Of the student body
which is Overwhelmingly proletarian
and peasant, but he gave us also an
analysis of the educational system in
the U.S.S-R. and comparison be-
tween the pre-revolutionary educa-
tional system of Russia and that Of
the present. More than that-he
