Just What Socialist
Competition Means
to U.S.S.R. Labor

This is the third and final in
stallment Of the significant chap
ter from Hyin's New Russia's Pri-
nler" which was suppressed by
Houghton- Mhflin, American pub
fishers of the book. In Saturdays
issue we published the first In
stallment of this dramatic contrast
between capitalist and proleta-
rian society. nyin, the author, is
Soviet engineer.
The worker is master, and the
master reckons every penny himself
so that the industry shall have the
lowest possible running costs, the
biggest possible profits and turn out
the best quality goods. And so one
shop after another, one brigade after
another is going over to the new
form Of work from the point of view
Of the owner. Every workers sec
ton, every shop, brigade and work
shop has its own plan, its own cal
culations, its own funds and respon-
sibility. The workers know that If
by good work they save a thousand
rubles in month this money will
not go into the boss's pocket. This
thousand rubles will go towards the
improvement of the factory, or in
premiums for the best shock worker
or to the factory club, the factory
library. To emerge from dirt and
poverty, to shift onerous and mon
otonous work to the machine, to be-
come veritable master of nature
such are the interests of our work.
ers.
IT is difficult to turn the steering
wheel Of history, but with able
handling it can be turned. And 1t
is this desire to turn the course of
history, to remaKe the world that
provides the power we require--the
power OF the human will.
But to desire is not enough; we
have got to know how to make use
of this desire. The worker is not
only the master of the factory--he Is
the worker OF the whole country too.
But what is he to do in order TO
become the master of the country in
deeds and not merely in words2 How
is he, standing at his bench, in his
corner Of the workshop, to keep the
eye of master on the whole factory,
on all factories?
Perhaps you think this is dream,
Or some impossible Utopia?

Demand Police Stop
Interference With
Labor Sport Meets

NEW YORK.-A delegation repre-
senting the Labor Sports Union at
hearing before Chief of Police
OBrien, Friday, demanded that po-
lice cease interfering with L.S.U.
athletic meets. The delegation charg-
ed that the police are acting directly
under the orders of the A.A.U., the
bosses amateur" sport organisation.
O'Brien, after a member of the
group had read him a section of the
new Noohan Law which is directed
against labor sport organizations, but
under whose provisions an LS.U.
wrestling meet which the police broke
up was still legal, evaded the issue.
He gave no other reply than that he
would take it up.
Before leaving the delegation told
O'Brien that wrestling meet had
been arranged and that they intended
to go through with it. They did.

State Reports Cut
i'm Relief During May

NEW YORK.--Alfred H. Schoell-
kopf, chairman of the State Tenn
porary Emergency Relief Admins
tration reports a drop in relief dis
tribution of $6l9,564 during May.
In May, 360,312 families were given
aid. while in March 396,a84 were on
relief lists. This is drop Of 36,572
in two months. Reasons given for
the drop is that many families found
additional support through work Of
some of it's members. What it &C
tually amounts to is that children
of iobless workers we're sent to the
labor camps, the dollar day for
work was turned over for relief to
their parents
In many instances in New York
outright cuts in relief took place
where workers were arbitrarily re-
moved from relief lists.

Competition BetUeen Work.
shops and Factories

They are not to be found in die
tionaries they have not got there yet
Work is going on in our country on
new lines. AS well as constructing
new factories we are constructing q
new life within these factories. And
new conditions require new vocab-
ulary.
Every one of our workers is a mas
ter. That is new. And since the work.
er is a master he cannot be merely
the fulfiller of the orders Of others,
he wants to work with his eyes open.
And so the workers call industrial
conferences and discuss industrial
questions. That's new too, that's not
to be found anywhere else either.
The workers organize shock-bri-
gades so as to get more work done, to
rope in the backward and to help
them. and show an example to 9TH
ers. That's new too. You won't find
that in Ford's plant.
The worker is beginning to acquire
a new attitude to work-the attitude
of master. If one shop comes to a
standstill the workers in the neigh
boring shop don't say: Whats that
to usp" For If the foundry doesn't
produce the pig-iron, the mechani-
cal section comes to a standstill and
II the mechanical section doesn't
give out its machine parts the as
sembly shop can't carry on, and then
the whole plant comes to a standstill.
And if one plant comes to stand
still many others do too. Take the
Nizhni- Novgorod automobile works. 1t
gets steel for springs from the Fla
toustov works, carionated steel from
Mariupolsk and the Sickle and
Hammer" works, steel plates from
Mariupolsk and Lissbensk, bolts and
nuts from the Red Etna," tires from
the Rubber Trust Works, lamps from
the RED October Works, artificial
leather from the Kineshma works. If
single one of these factories lets it
down, the Nizhni- Novgorod works
can't carry on. Every factory depends
upon dozen others, so that 1t is not
enough to raise output. to improve
the work of ones brigade, ones own
workshop, ALI brigades, all work.

Unity Needed in
the Struggle for
Social Insurance

The Unemployed Councils have
been the champions Of unity OF the
working class. Fighting alongside
the other militant working class or
CARNATIONS, the Unemployed Coun-
ellis have championed unity and in
some measure have been successful.
But this unity is still insufficient
still greater unity is needed.
The National Federation of unem-
ployed organizations set up in Chi
cago on May IS was step in the
correct direction.
The Unemployed Councils played
significant part in this convention,
which took the first steps toward
uniting the existing unemployed or
CARNATIONS of the country on the
basis of the united front. This is
only conceived OF as a step in the
direction OF the unihcation Of all I'M
employed organizations in the United
States.
This convention was called by the
leaders of the Socialist Party for
the purpose OF setting up a national
unemployed organization in oppoSi-
ton to the Unemployed Councils. But
in this the socialist leaders did not
succeed. Although the convention
was not representative Of the rank
and file of the unemployed organiza
tons, it want on record for a fedora
ton and for unity. The socialists
finding that they could not carry out
their splitting activities, left the con-
vention. Today, they continue their
splitting, scabbing activities against
the interests OF the working class
The Next Step.
Steps in the direction of unity were
also taken at the state convention
called by the Unemployed Citizens
Leagues in Pennsylvania, in which
the Unemployed Councils played a
very important part.
The next steps will be taken at the
state and national conventions of the
same organization in Columbus, Ohio,
on July l to S. These conventions
must be further milestones toward
the unification Of the unemployed
organizations, toward uniting the
workers to struggle against the in
dustrial recovery" law, toward in
tensifying the campaign for Social
and Unemployment Insurance.
The National Federation decided
to continue the process of building
the united front in the states, coun-
ties, cities and neighborhoodS. The
National Committee of the Unem-
ployed Councils calls upon the local
Unemployed Councils, which have
everywhere been in the forefront in
uniting the workers, to take the mi
tiative in building the declarations in
the neighborhoods, cities, counties
and states. Unity of the workers in
struggle against the Roosevelt pro-
gram must be established without a
moments delay
This unity must draw millions of
American workers into the struggle
for Social and Unemployment Insur-
ance. The workers in every neighbor-
hood, every working class organiza-
ton, every A. F. Of L. and indepen-
dent union, every socialist branch,
every club, fraternal lodge. veterans
and professional organization, must
be reached and be made an active
participant in this tight.
Unity Of the working class in the
struggle for our central demand
Social and Unemployment Insurance
is our burning need.

could help the International Labor
Defense and all the people that's
helping them try to get the boys

for the International Labor Defense
those boys would have have been
dead two years ago. I want to thank
the International Labor Defense for
myself to. It was account of them
that I was able to tell the truth at
the second trial and got chance to
tell how 1 lied at the first trial and
why I lied at that trial. They gave
me a chance to clear myself of the
awful harm done in the first trial

he is the master of this immensely.
He feels like giant, he's proud Of
his work and his achievements.
EVERY day the papers give the
II names of worker heroes. Here is
Hineiko, the best shock worker in the
Stain factory college. "On August /,
$780," writes "Pravda," 'the plates
on the rotator Of a $4,000 XIV. turbine
we're under the direction of Hineiko.
While putting the plates on the shaft
Hineiko noticed some dust on the
cylinder which might have lowered
its efficiency. He tried to brush it off
with rapid movement of his hand,
but was too late, and his fingers were
squeezed between two plates. To save
Hineiko's hand the cylinder shaft
would have had to be spoiled Hinei-
ko would not allow this to be done.
In order to remove the plate care
fully, without spelling the shaft, he
proposed that the shaft should be
heated. Hineiko's hand, crushed to
the bone, all the time lay between
the two plates, and the pain grew
still greater when the shaft was
heated. This cost Hineiko two fin
gers, but the rotator was saved and
the turbine was ready in time.
Then there was Timofeyev, fore
man of the same factory. During a
very important stage in the making
of turbine--the testing-Timofey
remained at his post for days on end.
During the testing of $4,000 XIV.
turbine, Timofeyev's face and hands
were scalded by steam let out through
careless turn Of the regulator. The
doctor bandaged him and told him
to go home. Timofeyev absolutely re-
fused to do this till the testing was
over.
Again there was Gromov, carpen-
ter and brigade leader, one Of those
who helped to build up the Berezni-
kov Chemical Combine.
Gramov and his brigade undertook
to roof the compressor section, at
height of rs meters, in the winter,
with a temperature of rs degrees be-
low zero, when all other brigades had
given it up as hopeless. The work was
done in time.
1t is by people like this that the
world is being made over again.

BANK QUESTIONS
COURTS power
Meyer Kiser Attorney Puts
Jurisdiction Issue to Fore
in Hearing.

jurisdiction of the state bank ex-
aminer's department and circuit
court in the affairs of the Meyer
Kiser bank was questioned today in
a receivership hearing before Cir
cult Judge Earl R. Cox.
According to arguments advanced
by Paul Y. Davis, counsel for the
banks liquidating agents, the state
banking department, or Is per cent
of the creditors, must take receiver
ship action.
The petition for receivership was
brought by Mrs. Jessie Powell, aged
widow, who alleges that conspiracy
exists in liquidating the banks
affairs.
Edward Little, attorney for Mrs.
Powell, raised the question of the
banks present status, declaring
that its suspension of operation in
July, 1881, and institution of liqui-
dation, removed it from the super
vision of the banking department
and placed it in the status of
business concern.
Ruling on the contentious will be
given by Cox late today. At the
time of the banks suspension, a
supreme court decision was given
prohibiting the Marion superior
court from intervening in the
situation.
Mrs. Powells suit preceded a
meeting of Meyer Kiser depositors,
at which plans we're made for de-
handing information regarding the
progress of liquidation.
According to Charles D. Bah
cock, chairman of the depositors'
committee, no information has been
given depoSitors and repeated de-
mands for information have been
refused.
Liquidating agents of the bank, ].
j. Kiser, Ferd Meyer and Mel Cohn,
later requested investigation of their
activities by the state banking de-
partment. Bank examiners have
been assigned and expect to an
their findings this week.
