Soviet Mastery

THE news of the forced descent of the
Il American balloonists recalls the fact
that two worlds records for height of
ascent still belong to the Soviet Union.
Soviet airmen have risen closer to the
sun than any other human beings COM
peting for the honors of mastering the
secrets of the shakespeare with Prokofeff, Birn-
baum and Gudenoh reaching the record height
of $4,000 feet in Moscow Nov. 1, 1898, and
Fedosenko, Usyskin, and vasenko going to the
tremendous height of 72,17s feet in Moscow on
Jan. 80 1884.
The latter three Soviet airmen were killed in
the drop.
The triumphs of the Soviet Union in these diff

Servicemen's League, Post 191, the
Marine Workers Industrial Union
and the Unemployed Council.

versary of the Japanese occupation
of Manchuria, unanimously passed

Negro people. Because the Commu-
mist Party lives, the Negro masses
are in the forefront of the struggle
for the liberation of Cuba from the
rule of Wall Street. Under the
leadership of the Communist Party,
the darker peoples in China, India,
South Africa, are uniting and rising
to throw off the yoke of imperialist
oppression. In the face of all this,
how absurd, how shameless, is the
charge of Mr.. Padmore, that the
Communist International is desert
ing the struggle for Negro freedoml
Communist Deeds Speak
The Communist Party needs no
defense as the champion of the
oppressed Negro people. Its deeds
speak for it. The very hatred Of
our enemies, the vilihcation we re-
ceive from the white imperialists,
the lynchers, the Klansmen, this is
the finest criterion of the effective
ness of our work. The lynch-rulers
see in us their worst enemies; we
ask for no better recognition.
1t is no accident that it is pre-
cisely at this time that Mr.. Pad
more, along with a number of other
white and Negro misleaders, frankly
deserts the program of full equality
by struggle, and for the revolution
airy overthrow of imperialism. The
struggle grows sharper; the masses
grow more determined and the OPP
pressors more desperate; the fight
draws closer to its climax, and the
combatants now range themselves,
decisively and Enthusiastically, on one
side or on the other. Either they
take uncompromising struggle for
their path and complete equality for
their goal, or they align themselves
ON the side of the oppressors and
go down the shameful path of COM
promise and betrayal. This path of
compromise and betrayal George
Padmore has now chosen.
Mr.. Padmore says that the Ne
groes of the world will be his Judges.
AAAob 10 u uC' Lie OOullHuIllSb GdIby
is willing to trust the Judgment of
the Negro toilers. We know what
this judgment will be, for in in
creasing numbers, the world over,
the oppressed Negro masses are
joining the ranks of the Communist
Parties, and putting their hope of
freedom in its leadership and its
program. The thin voice of hand
full Of nisleaders, white and black,
piping lies and ISLANDERS against the
Communist Party, will be drowned
out in the thunder of the march OF
the Negro masses and oppressed
peoples, of the working class of all
races, towards the final goal of
freedom.

US SR Unions
Administering
Social Fund
Control Four Billions of
Government Money for
Social Insurance

MOSCOW (FP0.-With four bill
lion dollars at their command, So
Wet trade unions have cut down
sharply on occupational diseases
and the number of industrial acct
dents, have extended and improved
pension services, and have scored
great successes in their handling
of sanatoriums and rest homes. This
has happened since the extensive
Soviet social insurance system was
placed directly under their control
year ago, according to The Mos
COW News.
Most striking in the list of the
unions achievements is their sue
cess in attacking occupational
diseases and accidents on the job.
Despite the fact that thousands of
new, unframed workers were drawn
into Soviet industry in 1888, the
number of accidents in most trades
fell appreciably-20 per cent in rail-
road operation, 10 per cent in shoe
manufacturing, 1872 per cent in cot
ton production, "a per cent in the
leather industry, 21.7 per cent in the
clothing industry and 9 per cent in
the electro-technical industry.
$4,000 Safety Inspectors
Occupational diseases as well as
accidents took it on the chin from
the unions in 1933-for a is per cent
count in the electro technical indus
try, II per cent in rubber manu-
facture, 10 per cent in silk produc-
ton, and so on.
One of the reasons for these ac-
complishments is the fact that So
600 safety inspectors-who are them
selves workers-are on the job now,
compared with 10000 before the
unions took over the safety check-up
task. Other reasons are more eff
cient utilization of the 100000, 900
assigned by the government for
safety and health on the Job, and
nationwide check-up of labor
protection, organized toward the
end Of 1888. The chief cause, how
ever, has been the direct activity
of workers in their own shops, deal
ing directly with local union officials
who are in charge.
Social Insurance
Another score for the unions is
the opening of 100000 offices for
social insurance payments, compared
to the $500 under the former social
insurance system. Union locals
themselves pass on pension cases.
etc, without other agencies inter
vention.
To care for the sick, for vacation
ers and for workers children, a
whole network of new sanatoriums.
rest homes, camps and nurseries
have been constructed by the unions
in their first year of supervising So
cial insurance.
According to j. M. Bineman, who
reports all this in The Moscow News.
the results of the unions first year
at this task SHOW that they are
undoubtedly on the right track"

THE same cable goes on to tell Of

Farmer>Labor Terror

YESTERDAY, in order to smash the
1 mass picketing of the militant Mime
apolis workers, Olson's national guard
raided the strikers headquarters, arrest
ing William Brown, Vincent Dunno, and
other leaders of Drivers Local STA, and
$50 strikers, dispensing those who were
gathering for the picketing.
This should make it crystal clear to all workers
that the leadership of the Farmer-Labor Party is
engaged in breaking the Minneapolis drivers
strike Governor Olson has suppressed all rights
of the workers of Minneapolis, His troops have
abolished picketing, prohibited outdoor assem-
hlages of over 1Oo and are authorizing the running
Of trucks At the point Of machine guns and bay
onets the right to strike and to picket is being
taken away from the Minneapolis workers by the
troops Of Governor Olson
The truck drivers of Minneapolis must at once
spread the strike to other Minneapolis unions.
This can only be done over the heads Of the lead
ers of the Farmer-Labor Party and over the heads
of the reactionary A. F. Of L. leaders Of the stamp
of Cramer Weir and Nelson.
THE leaders of Local STA, including the Trot-
skyist leaders, such as Vincent and M. F. Dunno,
have failed to go over the heads Of these c. L. U.
leaders and spread the strike They soft-pedalled
in criticism of the A. F. of L. leaders at the cost
Of failure to spread the strike.
The leaders of Local STA furthermore failed to
prepare the strikers for the meaning of martial
law. They pussyfooted on the question of i'm
mediate mobilization of the workers for a broad
united front campaign against the terroriStc and
strike breaking moves Of Olson, even after Olson
had called out the troops. After the national
guard was escorting trucks, these leaders still
hoped to settle all problems by mere negotiation
with Olson. That failing, they feverishly ordered
mass picketing without rallying the broad masses
of Minneapolis workers for the support of the
militant drivers They still refused to appeal to
the masses over the heads of the leaders.
The Minneapolis strikers must now arouse the
entire Minneapolis working class to action-to
spread the strike and to organize mass picketing
to defeat the strkebreaking Of the national guard
Rank and file committees should be set up in all
local unions to organize the spreading Of the
strike and the picketing, and to organize the
fight against the terror.
Only by the broadcast united front can the
sabotage of the reactionary A. F. of L. and
Farner-Labor officials be broken through and the
scab trucks stopped. The workers of Minneapolis
are strongly behind the truck drivers. They are
held back only by their reactionary leaders.
The workers of the entire country must rally to
the support of the Minneapolis strikers. Resolu-
tions and kilograms Of protest should flood Gov
ernor Olson at ST. Paul, demanding an end to
martial law the withdrawal Of the national guard
and demanding the right of the Minneapolis
workers to strike, to picket, to organize and to
assemble.
