had the opportunity to answer
these questions when I interviewed
some of the delegates to the current

Woman Weaver Oh Gee.
The contrast struck me forclbly
when I interviewed Colnrade Kol-
bosoff last night in the lobby Of
Sverdlov Hall. She is a weaver and
comes straight from her loom at
the Alexief Wool Mill in Moscow
and is going back as soon rs the
session Of the GEO. is over. A
meeting OF. all her cons5ituents-tlle
workers of the Alexieff Mill-will be
called where Kolbosoff will report
on the decisions of the Congress.
She will answer questions. make some
proposals and rtGrt the work of car
rying out the next years plan in
her mill.
Wearing felt boots and her
working clothes, she was entirely
at her ease as we talked. Yes,
she'd tell me about herself later,
but she wanted to tell the Alneri-
can workers about her factory right
9way. Our shop was closed down
by shortages during the civil war,
but that couldn't stop us. VIC
workers went to the forests and
7awed wood fer fuel and started
npera5ions. We had lots of other
trouble, too. Several years ago VIC

continued, "but despite the difficulties
we tried to fulfill the plan and help

bankruptcy of the capitalist system
of economy"
The Soviet System OF Government.
The editors of Labor cannot but
admit that the Proletarian dictator
ship in the Soviet Union is going
economically upward, bringing ever
rising standards of living to the work.
ers and farmers. But they are care
full not to draw the political lesson
Of this. 1t is that the Soviet sys-
tenn of government where power is in
the hands Of the workers, is supe-
rior to the capitalist system, where
power is in the hands of the own
erS of industry, the capitalist class.
What is the Soviet system OF econ
omy? Stain again has given lis the
best answer:
THE Soviet system Of economy
means:
/. That the power Of the capt.
talist class has been overthrown and
has been replaced by the power of
the working class.
2. The tools and means Of pro-
duction, the land, factories, works,
etc, have been taken away from
the capitalists, and handed over to
the working class and the peas
antry.
3. The development of produc-
ton is subordinated. not to the
principle of competition and safe
guarding capitalist profit, but to
the principle Of planned guidance
and systematic improvement Of the
material and cultural level Of the
toiierS. =.
4. The working class Is master
of the country, working not for cap
italists, but for Its own Glass;
1t is clear that under such a sys-
tenn the workers have infinitely more
democracy than they can ever have
under capitalist democracy, which is
but the mask for the Wall
Street dictatorship.

the capitalist system under which We
are now liying2 Stain answers:

Most of the 800, 600 have never be-

workers are reaching out for organ

increased in direct proportion to their
establishment with the National Re-
covery Act. No sooner were they Or
ganized in federal unions than they
decided to form industrial unions.
They objected to being split into hun
dreds of craft divisions.
The international craft union labor
takers Of the A. F. Of L. thereupon
protested against the whole federal
union movement, insisting that they
should go in and collect the per
capita dues. In response, the A. F.
Of L. heads recently refused to grant
federal union charters. The decision
OF the conference was to let a hot
subject severely alone except for the
announcement that federal charters
are again to be issued. Bpt on the
other hand, craft unions were guar

they aim to tie the worker to his job
and make him accept any conditions
that the employer forces upon him;
they are for strikebreaking purposes;
they do not solve the problem of
seasonal work (which is common in
all industries); they make no provi-
sion for part time, sickness, accident,
old age or maternity. They are being
proposed TO the workers as Something

The fight for the Workers Unem-
ployment and Social Insurance Bill,
which has been quite weak, must now
assume nationwide character. The
National Convention Against Unem-
ployment in Washington on Feb. 3
will launch an energetic campaign
among the unemployed, in the shops,
unions, fraternal organizations, clubs,
etc. There must be an intense dis
cussion in all working class organiza-
tions on the Workers Bill as compared
with all other bills, and this be the
beginning Of the biggest struggle that
this country has ever seen. The
situation demands 1.-THE workers
want it. The need Of unemployment
and social insurance has become clear.

If We Only Understood.

Could we only draw the curtain That surrounds each others lives, See the naked heart and spirit, Know what spur to action drives, Often we should find it better, Purer than we judge; We should love each other better If we only understood. Could we judge all deeds by mo-
 tives,
 See the good and bad within, Often we should love the sinner All the while we loathe the sin. Could we know the powers working To overthrow integrity, We should judge each others errors With more patient charity. If We knew the cares and trials Knew the efforts all in vain, And the bitter disappointment Understood the loss and gain Would the grim external roughness Seem, I wonder, just the same? Should we help, where we now
 hinder?
 Should we pity when we blame? An! we judge each other harshly Knowing not life's hidden force, Knowing not the fount of action Is less turbid at it's source;
 U r. Seeing not amid the evil All the golden grains of good Oh, we'd love each other better If we only understood.

GOLD BRICKS FOR THE AGED
 (From Washington O.C9 News)
 Dr. Edwin Witte, head of the ad- rninistration group preparing feder- al legislation for econmic security, is worrying about certain private organizations selling schemes for old age pensions and jobiess insur- ance.
 He has records of 36 such organi- zations. One ambitious promoter is out to sell congress on plan for $20s-a-month pensions to every Am erican past s60, the benefaction to be financed by 10 per cent reca:l sales tax. This would cost the govern ment S24,C0U,coo,O00 year, or more than one-half of the national in- come.
 A rival outfit goes this one better by offering pension to all ever 55.
 Some of these movements are sincere. Others appear to be chef iy interested in selling costly itera- ture and memberships. Still others are said to skate perilously near the postal laws against fraud. They seem to thrive on the hopes of & class already too poor and discnur- aged to bear any more expenses and disillnsionments.
 As Dr. Witte says, the raising of false hopes makes more difficult the efforts now afoot in Washington and elsewhere to evolve a workable security program for the aged and unemployed.
