RUSSIANS PLAN
IN FAR EAST

MOSCOW, Dec. IL GNSJ.
With newspapers stressing the "ag.
gravated situation in the Pacific, "
the Soviet government today
promulgated a highly significant
decree containing an unmistak-
able reminder to Japan that the
q. s. S. R. intends to develop its
Far Eastern areas to a point
where they will be not only self
supporting but impregnable.
Signed by Premier v. M.
Nolotov on behalf of the Soviet
Union, and by Josef Stain for the
central executive committee of the
Communist International, the de-
cree has the following definitely
announced aims:
I. Encouragement Of emigra-
ton from European Russia to
remote and at present thinly-
populated sections of Siberia.
2. Tightening the burdens Of
labor of those workers and
aothers far removed from the
cultural centers of the U. S. S. r.
8, Making settlers happy by
removing causes of discomfort
and encouraging them to &C
Quire material wealth.
{. Encouraging self-sufficiency
to alleviate the burdens now
retarding transport. presumably
making it available for military
purposes.
5. Keeping members Of the
Red army contented by sub
stantial wage increases.
Five Sections
Effective on January !, 1884,
the decree contains the following
five sections:
"First, for 10 years all col.
Iective farms, and for five
years all individual peasants in
the Far Eastern regions are
relieved of the responsibility Of
delivering any grains or rice
to the government.
Second, for 10 years, the
following districts are relieved
Of the obligation Of delivering
to the state meat, potatoes,
sunflOwer seed, wool, milk, but
ter, hemp and certain vege-
tabIes-TOvey, Olgin, OkhOtsky,
ChukOtSky, Sakhalien and KAN
Chatka.
Third, for 10 years the obli-
cations of all other districts in
the Far Eastern region are re-
duced by so per cent.
Fourth, fish supplied to the
state must be increased by 20
per cent.
Fifth, the wages of everyone
in the Far Eastern regions shall
be increased as follows: Work
ers, engineers and technical
personnel in coal mines, 80 per
cent; workers in factories,
transport machine and tractor
stations, teachers, medical per-
SOnneI and all others engaged
In agrOnOmicS, 20 per cent;
white collar workers, 10 per
cent; rank and file Of the army
also lower commissioned grades,

"Green states that 1929, 900
workers have returned to work
in the months of April and
May" This is an unmitigated LIE.
According to reports OF the Depart
ment of Labor (Which are not too re-
liable and are deliberately falsified.
as the case of Stuart proves, there
were employment increases Of Is per
cent in April and A,S per cent in
May. According to Green there were
1889 900 unemployed in the United
States in March. CFhis figure Is far
underestimated, Tor the Alexander
Hamilton Institute, very coilsefya-
tive institute, declares that there we're
$1,000 900 unemployed in the country
in March.) However, taking Green's
figure, we find an employment in
crease Of 213,744 in April and of $685.
$40 in May This makes a total Of
94S,714.
This is not due to the new DEAL
by any means. Green includes in
this the military forced labor camps
for the youth. Green also states
nothing about seasonal increases,
which, according to the Department
Of Labor amounted to 4S per cent In
canning and preserving, IS per cent
in dyeing and cleaning, ten per cent
in building construction, etc.
Green would evidently include
also the people who have to saw
wood for hand out Perhaps he
even includes people ON the chain
gang, working off their sentences.
sidetrack Social Insurance
Obviously, however, Green and the
officialdom of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, have attached them
selves to the propaganda machine Of
the Roosevelt ballyhoo government, SO
as to allow the issue of Social and

NEW YORK Traffic was stopped

By HANK FuLLER

ATLANTA, Ga.-Suffering from
the effects of the restricted diet al
lowed men cooped up in Fulton
Tower and from the years confine-
rlent to which he has been subjected,
Angelo Herndon, 19-year-old leader
of Negro and white unemployed,
peers at you through his glasses to-
day and talks Of the coming freedom
of the South.
Herndon, the bosses maintain, is a
dangerous criminal He is, they in
sist not at all the quiet, studious boy
who sits talking with the interviewer
in Fulton Tower. He is not the
emaciated, tired, obviously worn
youth who shows the strain of un-
healthy diet and foul air. He is not

crement to dribble in slugging rivu-
let's across the floor of cells, the

What is happening in the labor
movement? Are there new develop
nents in the relief situationp How is
The Scottsboro case coming on?
What are the German workers doing
to fight Faseism in Germany? What
will be the next step in the Mooney
case? Have more Negro farmers
been murdered?"
These are the questions which
Herndon asks. These things make
up his life today, just as they did
year ago, when he committed the
crime" of being Negro worker
who understood the need of militant
action to force the bosses to con-
tinue giving something for the relief
of the unemployed white and Negro
workers. Because he was these
things, he led an unemployed DEM
onstration. And, because he led an
orderly demonstration which broke
no law, though it did break the ira
dition of racial hatred established by
the white bosses, he has been sent
into the living death of Fulton
Tower
Looks Toward Future
Today Angelo Herndon looks to-
ward the future. The state of Geor-
gia maintains he is a desperate
character, not fit to be allowed his
liberty on bail. This attitude does
not surprise the man Angelo Kern
don. Nor does it surprise those who
are familiar with the case. They
know, as he knows, that Eugene
Talmage, John Boykin and the rest
Of the official gang responsible for
the continued martyrdom of Hern-
don, are hiding behind the flimsiest
of legalistic technicalities when they
deny him freedom on bail. They

program.
David Sacher will be tried today at
10 am. at the 43rd Street and Fourth

Max Kelley and Jacob Schnapp will
be tried at the Snyder and Flatbush
Avenue Court in Brooklyn for dis
orderly conduct because they demon
strated for unemployed relief.
The New York District Interna-
tional Labor Defense, which will de-
fend these workers, calls on all work
ers to mass in large numbers at these
trials.
Special attention is called to the
trials Of Clark, Bernet and that of
Loretta Harmon. Attempts will be
made by the bosses to railroad them
to long prison terms as in the Con
shak case because of their militant
records. Workers must be present in
large numbers at their trials to pre-
vent fran1e-upS against these militant
fighters for the working class.

creased protests and stronger de-
inands on the part of the masses OF
workers will enforce his right to bail
while the case is being fought. They
question, as he questions, the con-
tinued illness of the judge which has
repeatedly postponed court action
looking towards a new trial.
"Well," says Herndon, as his Wis
itor turns to go, Il know I'm COM
ing out. I know the things the
law is doing to me right now make
that certain. You see, the workers
of Georgia, both white and Negro,
won't stand for this sort of thing.
They know what 1 actually did.
They know their own hunger and
misery. They know my case and
their own cases are all a part of
the big fight for food and shelter
for the starving workers who pro-
duce all food and shelter. Through
their organization and their pro-
test, both white and Negro, en-
pIoyed and unemployed, they will
better their own conditions and
they will free me-"

tone of the young man. His slender

labor in coal mine when he was a
mere child, straighten. mo- he

He calls after the visitor: Say.

the fight outside while the bosses
have me cooped up here"
The grated door swings shut. Out
side is streaming the free Georgia
sun. Inside, behind his thick glasses,
Angelo Herndon is following the fight
for food which he has led and will
lead again.
Workers Called to Aid
And as the fight is watched from
within the walls OF Fulton Tower,
the international Labor Defense,
leading the struggle from without,
calls on all workers to take an &C
live part by flooding the office of
Solicitor John Hudson, Atlanta, with
kilograms, letters and resolutions of
protest against the confinement Of
Herndon.
Funds for the case are urgently
needed and contributions, addressed
to Room 2l0, 141z Auburn Ave, At
lanta, or the national office of the
International Labor Defense, so E.
18th ST., New York City, from work
ers all over the land. will show
clearly that those outside are carry
ing on the fight being so closely fol-
lowed from within the prison walls.

forgotten it, as have the officials of
the A. F. of L., who talked 'reyolu-

THE main purpose of this baseless
propaganda is to raise the hopes of
the employed as well as the unein-
ployed workers that Roosevelt, the
new messiah, will solve the crisis,
and that the industrial recovery bill
is the method.
Green's statement before the Sem
ate Committee on the Judiciary in
January showed clearly that unem-
ploylnent is a permanent institution
in the United States, and no juggling
Of figures, to help his good friend
Roosevelt and Miss Perkins, will wave
it out of the world.
"The Industrial Recovery Bit will
reduce the living standards OF the
workers TO level not experienced by
this generation of workers in the
United States. 1t will leave millions
of workers unemployed. The fight
for the right to live continues. The
rank and file of the A. F. of l.. and
independent unions will join with the
militant organized and unorganized
workers, represented by the Trade
Union Unity League in fighting
against the shameless deceiving pro-
visions of the recovery bill; and to-
gether with the masses of unemploy-
ed workers of this country led by the
Unemployed Councils, will fight for
