The findings of the commission

Government to inquire into the
causes of the disastrous fire on the
passenger liner "L'Antlantique"

owners and their agent5-the chau-
Wrists, fascists and war plotters.
Contrary to the wishes Of these
circles it was ascertained that
faulty electrical cables short cir

1t was added by the commission of
inquiry that the accumulation OF
inflammable matter in the luxuri-
Gus cabins, the highly infIammable
paints used In painting the whole
ship, insufficient fire fighting ap-
paratuses, etc, we're some of the
causes Of the rapid spread of the

RECOGNIZE USSR
SAYS STATE MEET

ALBANY, N. Y, March IA reso-
luton demanding recognition of the
Soviet Union was presented by Alex
ander Trainor, worker from the Cen
eral Electric plant in Schenectady
and chairman of the Workers Dele
CATION to the Soviet Union IN 1882.
This resolution was unanim- lsly
passed by the delegates Of the Work
ers Conference.
Traipor compared conditions in
Schenectady with conditions as he
saw them in the Soviet Union. He
stated that the contrast between the
progress of socialist construction in
the Soviet Union with the decline
of production, accompa MED by grow
ing unemployment and mass misery
in the capitalist world, had forced
millions of workers to think more
seriously than ever before about the
revolutionary way out of the crisis
taken by the Russian masses.

right now that the disaster was
caused by an act of sabotage by
certain revolutionary elements
standing in connection with an in
ternal organization that held
Congress in Hamburg last year and
which had instructed adherents to
commit acts Of sabotage on each
ship where they sign on"
We have already stated that this
accusation Is no invention Of Mr..
Bourayne. On June 5th, 1882, the
reactionary Belgian "De Nieuwe
Gazet" wrote that the fire on the
Georges Philippar" was caused by
an act OF sabotage such as the
ISH recommends to Its adherents
in the struggle against the ship
owners and war" The editor Of
the above paper forgot to mention,
however, that the World Congress
Of the ISH, which had allegedly
adopted decisions In regard to acts
Of sabotage, took place five days
after the disaster. Possibly the edi-
tor of this paper didn't know either

corrupt gang at the head of the Ma
tional Shoe Workers Association, now
busy selling out the strike of 1000
Lynn shoe workers. These takers
have been forced to call these walk
outs under pressure of the workers.
Fifteen hundred of the Lynn strik-
ers are reported to have gone back to
work under betrayal contracts which
give them no improvements in their
conditions.
Like their colleagues Of the Natl
Shoe Union, the leaders Of the Shoe
Workers Protective Union have al
ready set up the cry for a speedy
termination of the strike. Their
chief aim is, not to raise wages, but
to organize a manufacturers asso-
citation.
Several hundred shoe workers, who
have been on strike in Salem for a
week, are also being sold out by the
union takers. The workers of the
Philco Shoe Corp. in Salem were
sent back with the promise that their
wages would perhaps be readjusted
after April Is. The misleaders are
trying to persuade the workers in the
other shops to accept similar terms.

victories in strikes it has led in Bos-

cation work in Lynn, Haverhill and

called by small depositors and was
held Monday, at the Workers Center,
1873 Pitkin Ave, in the Brownsville

A resolution condemning the clos

In addition, the meeting resolved to
elect a committee of seven to follow
out the following instructions. To
