The whole Party Of the entire
country has right to be proud Of
the results of the work in ferrous
metallurgy for 1884, especially the
work in the blast furnaces. The in
structions of the Party regarding
the creation Of a powerful metal
lurgical fist in the East have been
realized. The Kuznetsk and Mag
nitogorsk metallurgical giants, con-
structed upon the instructions of
Stain and bearing his name with
honor, have furnished about 100000
tons of pig-iron this year. This
means the production of our own
coke, our own rolled metal.
The former metallurgical south
is unacceptable today, with its
improved transport, its system of
organization and its people. Proudly
holding their heads high, the metal
lurgists are approaching the end Of
the year, the beginning whereof was
marked by the Seventeenth Party
Congress. Stains banner is in
strong, reliable hands. The metal
lurgists have made Bolshevik re-

er and friend to liquidate the lag

League Note
Reveals Aim
OF MussOlini

ROME, Dec. 17.-In a short blus-
tering note addressed to the League
of Nations in which he attempted
to white-wash the invasion of Ital-
ian imperialism into Abyssinian ter
ritory, Mussolini not only refused to
arbitrate the question of his terri
torial aggression through the
League, but insolently demanded an
apology and indemnities from the
Ethiopian government.
Italian troops are being rushed to
the AbysSian- Erithrian frontier as
rapidly as possible. Even apologists
for italian imperialism admit that
100000 soldiers are expected to be
massed in Libya before the spring
awaiting orders to march on the
rich gold and diamond mines OF
Abyssinia. A whole network of mill
tary roads has been constructed, on
the orders Of Mussolini, which ex-
tend right to the Ethiopian border.
So rigorous and uncomfortable is
the life of Italian colonial soldiers
that in his note to the League Mus
solini accuses the Abyssian army OF
tempting the italians ito desert tc
their own forces"
Italian troops have advanced into
Abyssinian territory rs miles.

MOSCOW, Dec. IT (By Wireless)
In a keen race with time, the
plants of iron metallurgy in the U
S. S. r. today fulfilled the time OF
their yearly production plan, having
supplied 100000 tons of pig-iron
to the Soviet Republics.
Production will push ahead at full
speed to the end of the year.
In his report addressed to Joseph
Stain, v. M. Molotov and Ordjon-
ikidze, the chief of the administra-
ton of the metallurgicaI industry
states with pride that 100000 tons
of pig-iron, above the plan will be
produced by the last day of 1894,
thus bringing the smelling of pig
iron alone to record heights. In
no year did any capitalist country
show such tempos of increase.
ga Industrializatziu," organ of
the Commissariat of Heavy Indus
try, declares, This is the most i'm
portant landmark in the history Of
the industrialization of the U. S.
S. r. The doubled production of
pig-iron compared with 1880 is the
best sign of the colossal growth in

mond Fish and Robert Northrup.
The three were caught in land
slide at the Deckerton gravel pit

been aroused among the men, who
claim that they were forced to do
the work that required fifty men
with only fifteen.
Gornett was caught under twenty
five tons of frozen earth when the
side of the pit in which the men
were working caved in, his chest
was crushed in and his lungs pune
tured by the slide. Raymond Fish

James w. Ford, section organizer
of the Communist Party in Harlem
and member of the Party's Gen.

viewed the Marxist feminist method
by which the American Communist

an oppressed national group.
DR.. Abraham Markoff, director of
the Workers School, outlined the
grown of proletarian revolutionary

ment of network of schools
throughout the country and the
growth Of the New York Workers
School from a small institution to
one with five branches which are
attended by a total of more than
10000 students a year.

the Soviet Union expressing the
revolutionary indignation of Amer

promises are forgotten as usual.

not starve! We will fight to live!

Prisoners on Ships
Here, as in Barcelona, Gijon and
other ports, hundreds of prisoners
are held in ships outside the town.
Not only workers organizations
proper, such as unions and clubs,
but nationalist groups of any color
brighter than that of the capitalist
landlord-c lerical Tradicionalists
have fallen under the ban. No
Basque language newspaper may be
published or circulated here. Even
the Spanish language nationalist
sheet has been suppressed. Former-
ly papers published in Euzkadi, the
Basque tongue, were permitted so
long as they carried Spanish trans
lationS side by side with the origi-
nalS.)
An observation shocking to the
visitor here is the brutal method
employed in the local industrial
towns to throw the entire tax bur-
den on the laboring masses. If you
buy chicken, or sugar, or any other
commodity in Bilbao (and you must
buy your food outside the town you
are compelled to pay a duty in your
own town as you get off the train.
Thus, if you live in Sestao and work
for the British owned iron and steel
plants, you are taxed for every
municipal obligation, as the mills
absolutely do not pay one cent Of
local tax.
