The February issue of the Party
Organizer is a double issue that deals
exclusively with the regional shop
conferences held in New York and
Chicago. The experiences of the
comrades in the various industries
clearly indicate that, with the correct
approach to the problems Of the
workers IN the shop, mass struggles
can be developed.
More Work Needed
Spontaneous struggles take place
in many instances on the initiative
Of the workers themselves. This in
dicates the upward swing of activity
of the masses, and illustrates how
members of the Communist Party
must pay more attention daily to
preparations of struggle, without
wasting time in gloating over the
spontaneous movement of the work.

cause Of obstacles which competing
capitalists put in the way. Only I'M
! der a Socialist system OF planned eco
nomy were these projects possible.
Even where huge plants have been
built in capitalist countries, as in the
case of the Gary plant in the United
States, they cannot be run profitably,
since profitable running can be had
only when the plants work at full
capacity.
No Unemployment
This restriction of forces of pro-
duction under capitalism has pro-
duced mass unemployment and hun
ger, while these factories and parts
Of factories are idle. In the Soviet
Union, on the other hand, unemploy-
ment has been eliminated and fur
Their increases in production win pro-

of the working population.
OF course, these three projects are
only some OF the outstanding ones
in the Soviet Union. Anna Louise
Strong, assistant editor of the Mos
COW News, is we'll known to Ameri-
can readers for some of her stories
and sketches. Her pamphlet, From
Stalingrad to KuZbas, is a series
of newspaper sketches Tor the Moscow
News, of number of factories, writ
ten on tour of the Soviet Union.
In addition to Dnieprostroi, Mag
nitogorsk, Kuznetsktroi, she writes Of
the Stalingrad and Kharkov tractor
factories and Of Novo-Sibersk, CAPT
tai of New Siberia. AS she writes.
these giants of industry become more
than economic projects. We see shock
brigaders competing with one another
breaking all previous American re-
cords for speed Of work, aware, all
the time, that they are working for
themselves, building their own facto-
ries. Large cities shape themselves
around these construction sites for
factories.
Schools, houses, recreation centers,
railroads, trolley, buses seem almost
to pop up as the workers settle about
the factories. AS the factories, rail-
roads and mines function more and
more perfectly, new inventions, usual
ly made by the workers themselves,
are introduced to make the job of
each worker easier, safer, more COM
Portable and shorter in time.
There is something epic about this
building up Of the vast lands east Of
Moscow on to VladiYostock. In fact
NoVo-Sibersk is called the Chicago
of the Soviet Union. The growth re-
sembles the development of the West
in America, but it significantly lacks
the exploitation of labor which was
characteristic of construction in Anne
RIGA.
There is no longer any doubt that
the Soviet Union can plan and build.
The new goal of mastering technique
in the Soviet Union is itself proof of
this. The Soviet Union has passed to
the next step-efficient operation OF
the plants. But construction continues
and more new giants are planned,

RAIL KEYMEN
Ask Public Ownership OF
All Transport

Montreal (1LNS)-All American
railroads, motor, air and water trans
portation facilities should be co-ordi-
rated into one national transportation
system owned and operated by the
people This was the declaration of
the annual convention of the Order
of Railroad Photographers, following
nearly a weeks discussion of mpend-
ing railroad legislation in the United
States. There was large attendance
of delegates from all sections of the
United States and Canada, and a
number from the Panama Canal zone
and Mexico.
The resolution favoring complete
naturalization of all transport facil-
tiles set forth in the preamble that
the emergency railroad act now pend
ing before the United States congress
provides a mechanism of false econ
omy which will seriously reduce trans
portation services to the public, will
deprive thousands of employees of the
opportunity to earn a livelihood, will
neither permanently improve railroad
operations nor guarantee railroad
credit, will retard general economic
recovery and will promote policies
harmful to the public interests"
Public Interest SubOrdinated
The resolution further declares
that the proposed legislation will "en-
courage a private monopoly of pub
lie service" in which the public in
terest and the interest of the human
element in industry is subordinated
to the demands of capital invest
ment" 1t is also stated that "the
best interests of the nation as whole
end the human element in the trans
portaton industry will only be served
when the public utility is owned and
operated by the people in the inter-
ests of the people. Therefore, be it
resolved that we recommend and urge
the government of the United States
to take over the railroads of the ma
ton, together with motor, air and
water transportation facilities and
coordinate all into one national
transportation system"

Morgan, head of the powerful in

ations. Public men and officials were
revealed as borrowers of Morgan
funds and buyers of stock "bar-

The witness declared that he paid
no income tax in 1891 or 1882, it be-

this was due to tremendous shrink
