the DAILY Worker" with the Daily

is printed in Missoula, Mont. There
is 8 world of difference in the two

has duped up the peoples minds

ing on the C.W.A. Jobs. There are
many married men that can't get the
C,W.A. Jobs. Single men can't get
this CWA. work and there are few
single men who get relief. It's sure
hard for a man to get job in this
farm locality. The farmers are hav-
ing a hard time to make ends meet.
You can't blame the farmer for not
being able to pay wages. It's the
system that we're under that causes
so much misery for the farmers and
the working class.
The only remedy for this crisis is
the revolutionary way out, and So
Wet America.

The February Issue of
''Soviet Russia Today
Tells of U.S.S.R. Gains
Reviewed By JUS KARsTEIN

Reviewed BY JULES KARSTEIN
IMPORTANT and interesting in
formation about the Second Five
Year Plan, the results in 1888, and
the tasks for 1884, appears in the
February issue OF Soviet Russia To-
day." just out.
Is the Second Five-Year Plan sue
oeeding? What is being accomplished
under this plan and to what extent
does it affect the Soviet workers and
farmers? The recent meeting of the
Central Executive Committee of the
U.S.SR. and the 18th Congress of
the Communist Party Of the Soviet
outlined in detail the aims and
achievements OF this second plan
There are excerpts from the historic
speeches from Stain and MoIotov,
and the program adopted by the So
Wet workers and farmers in their
advance toward a classics society.
Reading the account of what is be-
ing accomplished in the Soviet Union,
the striking contrast with conditions
in the rest Of the world is ineScap-
able. You cannot pick up national
weekly or daily newspaper without
being confronted with the advice
rom some well known (and well fed
dietary expert" on how to live On SIX
cents per meal per person. Impoyer-
.shed farmers are told to plough I'M
der" their crops. Production must
be curtained.
But here are some Of the points
in the program adopted by the Soviet
Union:
Increase of the production of in
dusty 81 per cent higher than in
1888, for heavy industry, 20 per cent;
for the increase of articles Of mass
consumption by 17.3 per cent; in
crease Of grain crops; increase of CO.
cial insurance funds to 1850, 900 ,0o0
rubles. (s2,&s00oo,0oo
Among other interesting articles
and features in the February issue
are letters from Soviet workers de-
scribing the conditions under which
they work and live; 1.-THE Red Army
is Workers and Farmers Army"
by Conrad Scarlatt; an article by
Jack Gera ghty. machinist, member
Of the A. F. Of L. on his recent visit
to the Soviet Union as a member Of
q workers delegation, and a letter
to Stain from the children Of Novaya
IDA, where Stain was an exile in
1912.
OF unusual interest is the report
Of the recently concluded National
Convention Of the Friends of the So
Wet Union. The resolution and de-
cisions reached at this congress by
representatives from 80 states and
various trade unions, political parties,
mass, fraternal and farm organiza-
lions, show the deep-rooted and wide
spread sympathy for the Soviet
Union.

framed charge Of unlawful as

pocket instructions to appear before

attached to the court.
The medical order. which asks
Powers to kindly use the elevator on
the White Street SIDE Of the build
ing," is signed by Irving W. Halpern,
chief probation officer OF the Court
Of General Sessions.
Powers was convicted on the lesser
charge, unlawful aSsemblage" in or
der to make it easier to railroad him
on the more serious charge after he
has served his present sentence.
Powers, who has been arrested ana
beaten up by police more times than
he can remember, was last week con-
victed Of charge of unlawful as
sernblage" following his arrest, on
April %, 1882, when he was one Of the
leaders of a united front demonstra-
ton for relief TO the New York City
Hall. Powers describes the scene:
TT was during Jimmy Walkers re-
Gime. We were met by a big mobiliza-
ton OF police-at least - ra~uated
and afoot, in charge OF Chief Deputy
Inspector David j. MacAuliffe. The
workers were walking around the City
Hall in double columns, two abreast,
but the police would not permit any
gathering of workers. A delegation
led by myself approached the police
lines at the Park Row entrance OF
City Hall, with the intention Of pre-
senting certain demands TO the mayor
and the Board Of Estimate.
"These demands called for the re-
opening Of the Home Relief Bureaus
which were then being closed up; for
cash relief; against discrimination
against Negroes and Porto Rican and
italian workers; for the conversion of
the s196,000,000 interest fund for the
bankers into unemployed relief; and
for the immediate resumption Of the
1921 100000 building program"
There were between 10000 and 49,
900 unemployed workers In this united
front demonstration, Powers recalled.
THE police" he said, barred the
entrance of City Hall and instead
launched vicious attack upon us.
at was one of the bloodiest attacks
upon workers that 1 have ever seen.
A large number were badly hurt.
Workers, who had been beaten up
on the street were dragged into the
basement Of City Hall and again
mercnessly slugged.
81 saw women lying on the floor
in City Hall in pools of blood. One
incident: a cop hopping up the
basement swung a od-soaked
mop in the face of one Of the work
er3 and said:
Here's your relief, you scn-of-s-
bitch"
A large number of demonstrators
we're arrested that day, but only five
or six were held by the police-in-
Guiding FerTarri, q longshoreman,
and Jones, a seaman, both members

Powers first trial took place on
