GLIDING members of the families of
Schmidt, Bobrov, Krenkel, ETC.. sent
letter to Stain which contains,
among other things, the following
statements;
To-day, when our husbands and
fathers are already out Of danger,
our first thought in joy and triumph
is to apply to you our pride and our
great friend. We know that since
the first day Of the departure Of the
Cheliusllin on its voyage, you at
tentively watched the courageous
work Of our relatives. We know
that since the moment Of the ceta-
strophe you we're the direct orga-
nicer and inspirer Of all rescue
measures, at the head of which
stood one of your closest colleagues,
Kuibishev. We know that your close
attention accompanied every new
sirplane, steamer, dirigible, hurry
ing to the aid and rescue Of our
relatives, imprisoned by the icy ele-
ments.
Hail Soviet Arctic
1--WE felt this care every day, as
our relatives felt it on the distant
polar ice-floe. These things inspired
us to confidence in success and VIC
tory.
Behind your care stood the force
produced by our country under your
leadership,
Therefore, today, when our rela-
tives have left on the ice floe only
the proudly waving red flag of the
Soviet Union, a symbol that the
Arctic is and will be the Soviet Arc
tic, we must share with you our
JOY. Accept our great gratitude"

Food Workers Hail
ReturnOf Martenez
In Jail a Year, Now He
Faces Deportation
BY ROBERT CHASE

NEW YORK. Pete Martinez is
back in the rank of the militant
food workers. 1t is year and ten
days since the steel gates of Well
fare Island changed shut on Pete the
last act in a frame-up to remove
him from the front line trenches Of
the Cafeteria Workers Union Of
which he was an organizer. He was
arrested during strike at the Adell
Cafeteria.
Pete is another proof that the
bosses cannot crush working class
fighters through terror. In a few
days" he said with a steady, grim
smile, I'll be back on the front line
the same as before"
For nine months Martinez was
unable to get the Daily Worker
through regular channels, but the
Militant a Trotzkite paper. came
regularly. Only after protesting did
he finally get the Daily Several
books sent him were never received.
Anyone following Martinez around
the day he returned would have
been warmed through with what
affection workers welcome back
their comrades alarms. Hearty,
strong handshakes, and just few
words, packed with feeling, why,
Pete you so and so, glad to see you
backp
While the workers welcome him
back, the bosses and their govern
ment are plotting to snatch him
away again. Deportation proceed
ings have been started against him.
He was taken from the Jail to Ellis
Island and is out under $1,000 bail.
If the workers want to keep Mar
tinez in their ranks they will have
to fight for him. Pete brought back
a message from two other working
class prisoners who were also framed
for their activity in the union,
Manuel Lopez and Mirabau. Both
are counting the days when they
will be out to join the fight again.

The Entire Soviet Union Celebrates Rescue of 100
CheEiuskiners From Ice FIoU Off Siberian Coast
Airman Who Took Part
in Rescue Receive
Order of Lenin
Especial to the Daily worker

Especial to the Daily WOrker)
MOSCOW, U. S. S. r., April IS
(By le)-The masses of workers
and peasants of every corner Of the
Soviet Union, the largest country in
the world, we're united today beyond
the geogra phical barriers of its
mighty mountain-ranges, its great
steppes and raging rivers, in their
profound Joy in the victorious and
successful rescue Of the 100 Soviet
workers who had been marooned
on an arctic icefloe since the sink
ing of the steamer Cheliuskin on
February Is.
From every section of the great
land of the dictatorship of the pro-
letariat, from the White Sea to the
Caspian from the Baltic Sea to the
Pacific Ocean came messages Of
greeting, of joy in the rescue, of ac-
clamation of the intrepid flyers who
accomplished the history making
feat, and messages to Stain, leader
of the great Party which guides the
destinies of the great Union of
Soviet Socialist Republics.
All of the airmen who par
ticipated in this difficult rescue
have received the Order TO Lenin
and full years extra wages, not
merely as bonus, but as a sign of
the cOuntry's and governments
deep pride in, and gratitude for
their daring and heroic feats.
Ship Sank February Is
The 100 members of the crew of
the Cheliuskin, headed by Professor
Otto Schmidt, were marooned on
an ice-floe off the Siberian coast
more than two months ago, when
the arctic ship sank on February 10,
after being crushed in the ice. The
crew saved radio transmitter and
receiving set and kept up constant
/ communication with the Soviet radio
station at Cape Wellen, cooperating
with their rescuers. Otto Schmidt,
leader of the expedition aboard the
Cheliuskin, is one of the Soviet
Unions most famous scientists
For two months, sparing neither
/ risk nor expense, government
commission guided the rescue work.
Planes crashed; steamers sent to the
rescue tasted conditions similar to
those which had sent the Cheliu-
skin to its ocean graves. Many were
injured. But the work went on.
Slowly, surely, the rescuers brought
everything in readiness for the feat
which the capitalist world thought
impossible. Then, with the lives of
100 marooned men hanging in the
balance, the first rescue of the ten
women anw two children of the
expedition occurred. The work went
on. In groups of two and three
every member of the marooned
crew was transported back to
safety from the ice. Commander
Schmidt badly injured, refused to
leave the ice floe until all other
members of the expedition had been
saved A government order, how
ever, forced him to leave. The last
six-all officers, were rescued last
! Thursday.
Such, in brief, is the record OF
this modern epic of courage and

Retail Prices NOiU
80 Per Cent AbOUe
Last Years LeUeI

NEW YORK-Retail prices on
April 1 were gel per cent above
retail prices Of April /. 1888, it
was declared by the Fairchild
Retail Price Index. Ner's clothes
went up So per cent in the
month of March and women's
clothing went up ID per cent in
price. Retail prices in March
were fve-tenths Of one per cent
above retail prices for February.
The increase in the cost Of liv-
ing for the workers is in line with
President Rooseveit's imitation
policy. Since wages Of workers
have remained stationary or at
best only slightly increased, the
rise in prices means q virtual
drastic wage cut for the workers.

But the miracle happened, which

Against the opinion Of all the

For the same reason why the Boil

same reason why the ragged Red
Army Of a hungry country ruined
by the capitalists completely re-
/ pulsed the invasion Of numerous in
terventionists and executioners Of
the counter-revolution; for the same
reason why the proletariat, led by
! its party Of steel has constructed
numberless first-class plants, re-
modelled the countryside, uprooted
the kulaks, rendering decisive as
sistance to the peasantry in its turn
ing toward collective farming; for
the same reason why a gigantic
creative energy has unfolded on all
] fronts of labor and struggle.

Socialism, where the tOiling
masses have become the masters
of life, where they themselves are
making their own destiny where
they themselves are forging their
own future happiness, and the
happiness of all Of humanity.
This is the reason why the ocean
of their energy is limitless, why the
ground is so fruitful for the creation
of heroes of the flesh and blood of
the wide national masses, in the
first place Of the proletariat and its
militant, indestructable Party.
These brave fighters in a great

cipline of a people united in ardent
loyalty to the noblest cause on eartt
