Especial to the DAILY wOrker)

MOSCOW, Sept. 2 (by wireless
-Barbaric tortures of a woman
clerk, Golovina, one of the Soviet
citizens arrested by Japanese Man
churian authorizes, were sharply
brought to the attention of the Jap
anese Ambassador Otas when he
visited the Soviet Foreign Commits
sariat. The Soviet government de-
manded that the Japanese govern
ment take steps to stop the provo
cative arrests and inhuman tortures
by Japanese anchurian officials
Tass, Soviet news agency, report
ing the nature of the vigorous pro-
test, states that Assistant Foreign
Commissar Stomoniakov brought to
Ambassador Otas' attention the
following facts:
japanese gendarmerie at Hardin

brutal, medieval tortures. Metal
bars were placed between her fin

and then drawn tight causing Colo
VIVA to lose consciousness. Her
head and face were punched.
All these tortures were carried out
by Japanese officials. On August 81,
Colovina was conducted to the

she would be arrested again when

order to break the ranks of the
textile workers. The u. T. w.
leaders, as 1 stated in the New
Bedford meeting attended by
1880, are asking the U. 7. w. To-
Gals to act as detective agencies
for the employers and report the
reds The best guarantee Of
winning the strike is the involving
in the strike Of the most active
and militant textile workers who
ere now attacked by the employ
ers and the U. 7. W. top leaders.
There is no feeling against the
Communists in the U. T. w. rank
and file in New Bedford"
Calls for Unity
Burlak called for unity and soil
darity to win the strike, with inn
mediate organization of mass pick
esng before all mills.
While the U. T. w. leaders are
shouting throw out the reds. She
said. "and disuniting the ranks. the
N. T w. U. is proposing unity in
the strike front with the U. T. w.
and the rank and file.
The N. T. w. U. members will
help organize mass picketing and
take active part in it and in all
strike preparations.
Burlak pointed out that the two
independent unions, which have
conservative leadership, the Fall
River Federation of Textile Opera
tives and the Independent Textile
Union of Woonsocket, are making
grave mistake by deciding nct t.
join the strike. She called on the
rank and file of these organiza-
tions to strike and work to win side
by side with the members of all
other unions.
Police Mobilize
Rhode Island State and NUM-
cipal police are mobilizing all their
strength against the strikers today.
In the face of this mobilization for
terror, the U. T. w. leaders sent a
telegram to Governor Eli at Massa-
chusetts attacking not the police
mobilization but the reds" and
asked him not to call out the Ma
tional Guard "needlessly" and to
protect union strikers against
Communists" These strike break
ing leaders thus welcome the police
terror and lay the basis for attempts
to smash the strike through terror.
In New Bedford and other tex
tile centers all police days off and
vacations have been revoked, police
armed, and guards modified.
Most New England mill owners
announced today they will try to
keep mills open with strike break
ers.

the seamen and longshoremen on
nationwide scale.
Delegates representing the radio
operators wrote into the program a
demand for $3.50 to $165 month
for operators This is the wage
scale for second officers.
The Baltimore conference dis
played clearly the demand for
united action on the ships and
docks in face of William Green's
attempt to smash all united rank
and file actions in the ports and
everywhere.
A move on the part of the leaders
of the International Seamen's Union
in Baltimore to sabotage the con-
vention was an utter failure. A
leeflet issued by them, which at
tempted to ridicule the conference,
was not taken seriously by the rank
and file. One delegate came from
that union, despite official orders
that no member of the 1. S. U.
should attend.
The broad aspect of the confer
ence was shown by the large num-
Der of kilograms that came from
unions and ships crews in all parts
Of the world. One radiogram
came from the crew of the S. S.
Makau in the middle of the Pacific
Ocean. Maritime workers on the
West Coast, who are fighting fas-
cist terror for the RICH. to organize,
bargemcn from New York, groups
Of longshoremen sent messages
pledging to support the program
adopted by the conference.
Tonight the seamen, longshore-
men and radio operators leave Bal
timore for their respective ports
with one aim in view-to unite all
maritime workers for strike action
on the East Coast of the United
States as a step toward a strike
on a national scale.

creases" in retail food prices are
expected during the CO m i n 6
months" Richberg says.
However, when it comes to per-
tinent statistics concerning h e
worker, Richberg considers few
percentage units not worth mention
ing. In his first report Richberg
tossed aside the June 1888 to June
1884 decline of IL per cent in the
average manufacturing workers
real wage as a real wage which "re-
manned practically unchanged" He
was more interested in boosting
about the approximate 500 per cent
increase, under MIRA, in corpora
ton profits and the large increase
of company unions lagalized under
the protecting beak of the Blue
Eagle.
Incorrect Report on Food Prices
Thus in the third report he de-
clares that retail food prices have
increased more than 20 per cent
since the low point in April 1888
But according to the Aug.
% announcement of the Bureau of
Labor Statistics of the Labor De-
partment, current retail food prices
are up by more than 231a per cent, T"
This statistical report announces
that retail food prices advanced
during the past two weeks to the
highest level reached since Decem-
ber IS, 1881 AS compared with
the index OF 904 for April IS, 1888,
The low point reached since pre-
war days, current retail food prices
are up by more than 23ia per cent.
They are Al per cent higher than
for the corresponding period of a
year ago and approximately II per
cent above the level of two years
ago when the indexes were 1867
and 1908 respectively"
Richberg indicates that the Rural
Rehabilitation Program" or subsis-
tence plan will be continued. THE
Administrator of F.ER.A. reports
that this experiment indicates that
standard urban families may be
made permanently self-Supporting
in rural communities at less finan-
cial outlay by the Government than
the cost of direct relief in the cities.
This money will be eventually paid
back to the State through n-profit
corporations and will provide ro-
tating fund to be used in the build
ing of many rural communities.
The Rural Rehabilitation Division
believes that promoting the organ
led rural communities for part-time
work in farming and industry is
the cheapest form of emergency re-
lief for thousands of permanently
stranded families in the cities"
Where the employment in indus
try is to come from, or what pro-
vision is to be made for the small
farmers who would otherwise sell
their produce to the city, Richberg
doesn't indicate.
In detailing the important serv-
ices" which the War Department
has rendered to the Emergency
Conservation Work and Civil Works
Administration. Richberg, brings
out the organization and control
of the C.C.C." by the military arm
of the government. 1T was the
function of the War Department to
accept the men chosen by local re-
lief agencies cooperating with the
Department of Labor, to administer
and supply them and control them
in every phase Of activity, except
generally the performance of tech
meal work
The fourth section of his report
covering Relief of Financial Press
ures' will be completed prior to
