Increased Output
lBy wireless to Daily workerl


MOSCOW, Jan. 3O-Increasing coal
output daily. the mine workers Of the
U.SS.R. have established new record
figures in honor o.. the 17tn Congress
Of the Russian Communist Party.
On January 25, e3.795 tons Of coal
were being produced daily in the Don
basin, thus surprising the Five-Year
Plan which calls for 10000. On the
same day all the coal basins together
produced over 255, 600 tons. 1t is not
amiss to recall that On the eve of the
10th Party Congress in 1889 the aver
age output of coal in the Soviet
Union was only about 10000 tons.
The present Congress is also mark
ed with record in the smelling of
iron. On Jan. %, 25,207 tons of iron
were smelted for the first time in the
U.S.S.R. In 1880, during the period of
the 10th Congress the average daily
smelling of iron was only $4,000 tons.

JObless of Big Six
Elect Delegate To
Unemployed Meet.
Delegate from Conn. i;
New Mexico Jobless
Send Funds

NEW YORK.-The Unemployed
Association of Typographical Union
No. 6, Big Six, has elected a dele-
gate to the National Convention
Against Unemployment, which takes
place in Washington, on Feb. 3, 4.
ard S.
The unemployed In Big Six, who
were a factor in electing Leon Reuse
to office last year, realize that
though there has been a change IN
administration, there has been no
change in union policy and nothing
Is being done for them inside the
union. The Importance of federal
unemployment insurance without cost
to the workers is recoTnizsd by the
association, which endorsed the Work
ers Unemployment and Social In
surance Bill some time ago.
The Unemployed Association Of Big
Six was started when unemployed
members of the union found that
their union officials did not recognize
their dire needs and refused to as
sist them. Like other A. F. of L.
union officials, Big Six officials are
not interested in the unemployed.
Endorsement from New Mexico
PORTALES, New Mexico, Jan. 30.
Unable to raise sufficient money
to send delegate all the way to
Washington to the National Conven-
ton Against Unemployment, the To-
cal Unemployed Council has endorsed
the convention and sent q small con-
tribution for its support.
I've Delegates from Stamford
STANFORD, Conn, Jan. 3o-Two
delegates to the washington Conven-
ton Against Unemployment were
elected by GOO C.W.A. workers in
mass meeting here on Friday night.
The meeting was called in protest
against a reduction in pay to $12 for
a 24-hour week.
A committee of three was elected
to present demands of the C.W.A.
workers to the local C.W.A. board.
Among the demands are increase OF
laborers' pay from so cents an hour;
better care for workers injured on
C.W.A. jobs; better protection against
the weather on open trucks which
take the workers to outlying projects.
Rudolph Gatti, chairman of the
meeting, who was elected as one uf
he delegates to Washington, declared
he had seen two cases of neglect
when men were injured. One man
received leg injury when struck by
falling tree and was allowed to lie
ON the ground for an hour, suffering
i:leonsely waiting for a truck to bring
him to C.W.A. headquarters.
81 saw another man injured during
blasting" Gatti said. "If woman
at a farmhouse had not given me
some bandage and warm water to
fix his wound, he would have had
to wait for truck"

NEW YORK, November 8-Rep-
resentative Hamilton Fish, Repub-
lican survivor of the Roosevelt land
slide, declared yesterday the unmis-
taxable mandate of the election is
that the Republican party must hu-
mamie and hberalize its policies"
Fish, a vigorous opponent of the
Roosevelt New Deal. was reelected
from the twenty-sixth district, which
includes the Presidents home county,
DutcheSs.

voters all over the country. The Re
publican party must reaff1rm its early
principles, enunciated by Abraham
Lincoln, that human rights are su-
perior to property rights, and that
labor is prior to capital
The leadership of the Republican
party" he said. land I do not refer
to Henry Fletcher, chairman of the
National Committee, and Melvin
Eaton, head of the New York State
Committee, as they have just taken
office, has been hopelessly Bourbon
and in certain States dominated by
wealth and special privilege. No
amount of progressive lip service from
reformed reactionaries, out of SYM
pathy with the rights and aims of
the people, will satisfy or deceive
the voters"
Fish said that last June he went
to the meeting of the G. o. P. Ma
tional Committee in Chicago and
sought to have "a young Middle West
erner made chairman in line with the
liberal tendencies of the times
MY efforts to nberalize the party"
he added, land give the younger ele-
ment real recognition were thwarted
and defeated by the Old Guard who
never learn or never surrender their
power, even when it would obviously
be in the best interest of the party.
Gas a politician, do not intend to
criticize any member of the National
Committee, but to merely state the
facts, which were self-evident at the
time. The liberal and younger ele-
ment will insist from now on in a
much greater share in determining
the policies and participating in the
activities of the Republican party"

ator Bronson Cutting, New Mexico
Republican, maintains his present lead
in the only senatorial contest still

If there should be a last-minute
change In Cuttings race for re-elec-

tion, the Democrats won 26; Repub-

unrelenting foe of the New Deal, to
more than 400 900 in virtually COM

ed the showing of Brown "and the

THE Republican campaign" he
said in statement, was conducted
against tremendous odds that were
insurmountable and over which the
party could have no control.
The Federal Government obviously
made studied effort to influence
opinion with huge contributions and
appropriation of public money. The
Democrats in the State augmented
their effort with huge State machine
and a campaign fund wrung from
employees and interests transacting
business with the State"

the closeness Of election results in

here as Judge A. E. Hawkins charged
a hurriedly summoned grand jury
to investigate alleged widespread vio-
lation Of election laws.
Both Democrats and Republicans
claimed the victory in Tuesdays elec-

on uncounted absentee ballots. The
county administration now is largely
Republican, but Democrats claim at
least a 75-vote majority for their
ticket when the absentee ballots are
counted.
Orders Sweeping Probe.
Judge Hawkins. in charging the
grand jury, ordered that a probe of
every violation of every description
be made"
Every kind of violation of election
laws possible was reported to me-"
Judge Hawkins said, in discussing his
call for the grand jury.
Men and women not on the legal
lists, but who appeared at the polls
to vote and made the proper affi-
davit were denied the privilege. I
have report that some Of the ballot
boxes were opened after the count
was made and certified, and the result
