a ks ™ RUSS CHEMICA TRUST WILL BUY DRUGMACHINERY ¢ hemugol’ Will Spend $1,700,000in America (Special to The Dally Worker) NEW YORK, Nov, 24—Orders for factory equipment amounting to over $1,700,000 will be placed in this coun- try by the president of the First So- viet Combination of Chemical, Glass and Allied Industries “Chemugol” Gourvitch who arrived here last week and took up headquarters in the of- fices of the Amtorg Trading corpora- tion which is acting as agent in ef- fecting and carrying out the orders. Part of the orders will be for equip- ment for large glass works which the trust “Chemugol” has under con- struction in the region of the Donetz Basin, and the negotiations for these purchases will be carried on by Mr. Gourvitch in association with Paul Kivkillo, vice-president of the Syndi- cate of the Silicate Industries “Prod- asilicate,” who is at present in this country. Gourvitch is accompanied by a staff of five engineers and tech- nical experts. Places Orders in Europe. Prior to his arrival in this country Gourvitch spent some time in Europe where he placed orders for the sum of about $2,000,000, mostly in Germany and Belgium. Here, as in Europe, the trust “Chemugol” intends to purchase machines of the latest patents which have become an urgent necessity in building up the expanding chemical and glass industries in the Soviet Union. According to Gourvitch, the increasing internal demand puts be- fore the “Chemugol,” which is respon- sible for 50 per cent of the output of chemical products in Soviet Russia, the task of doubling its production within the next year. The “Chemugol” controls the chem- ical, glass, and allied industries in the Ukraine and Southern Russia. The gross annual output of its factories amounts to $37,500,000.° The value of the products placed by the “Chemu- gol” on the market is about $25,000,- 000. The program of production for the fiscal year 1925-1926 exceeds ma- terially the pre-war output. This pro- gram provides for an output under technical conditions as they are at Present. The “Chemugol” is taking immediate steps to increase its pro- duction by re-equipping along modern lines some of the existing factories and the building of a number of new works. It is in connection with this task that Gourvitch is now in this country, To Study American Industry, Beside making purchases for immediate technical needs of the “Chemugol” Gourvitch will make a study of the organization and latest achievements of the chemical indus- try in the United States, as well as of the possibilities of the participation of American capital in the rebuilding of the chemical industries in the Soviet Union. ¥ the If you want to thoroughly un- derstand Communism—study it. CITY, COLLEGE OF N. VOTE AGAINST MILITARY TRAINING Y. STUDENTS By SYLVAN A. POLLACK. (Special to The Daily Worker) NEW YORK CITY, Noy, 24.—By an overwhelming vote of 2,092 to 345 the students of the College of the City of New York voted against the con- tinuance of military training at the college, ending a three-day referendum that had stirred the institution from cellar to roof, According to Sidney E. Mezes, president of the college, approximately 75 per cent of the students’ body had participated in the vote and in his opinion if the rest of them had voted ¢————_________________. the majority against the continuance of military training would have been much bigger, in spite of the fact that as it now stands, the vote is deci- sive, The agitation against the military training was started by an article in the armistice day issue of The Cam- pus, the undergraduate publication, which was followed by a mass meet- ing in the main college building un- der the auspices of the Social Prob- lems Club. At the meeting a commit- tee was appointed to present a de- mand to the student council for a referendum on the question of con- tinuing the compulsory courses in military training. Text Book Exposed. More of the amazing instructions in the text book used in the mili- tary science course at the college have been brot to light. The book is the 1923 edition of the Manual of Military Training, written by Col. James A, Moss and Major John W. Lang. “Bayonet fighting is possible only because of red-blooded men naturally possess the fighting instinct. herent desire to fight and kill must be carefully watched for and encour- | j aged by the instructor.” These in- structions are given on page 1, Chap- ter XXVII, of the manual, “Break His Neck.” On page 24, Apendix I, the manual gives instructions in killing, holding and kicks. It reads:. “Force him (your opponent) to the ground and break his neck by suddenly throwing the feet well to the rear and falling This in-| forward, tightening the arms and pressing the shoulder tightly against the back of his head. This hold, when properly executed, will break the op- ponent’s neck, or, failing, is still ef- fective as a strangle hold, “Raise the right knee until the thigh is horizontal, and at the same time slightly bend the left knee. Kick out viciously, then bring the foot back to the original position in order to avoid its being caught in a leg or toe hold. If the opponent is down, attack with the usual type of kick to his vulnerable parts.” Instructions in hand to hand fight- ing on page 23, appendix 1, read: “The principles of sportsmanship and consideration for your opponent have no place in the practical application of this work. In a fight with a big- ger and stronger man, avoid aimless struggle and work deliberately to dis- concert him by butting with the head, kicking his shins, grabbing his gas mask, etc., so as to make an opening for a disabling hold or blow.” On the first page of the book it is stated: “Everything that you do in military training is done with some mediate object in view, which, in tarn has in view the final object of winning battles. The object of all military training is to win battles.” The pacifist character of this strug- gle must be turned into correct chan- nels thru the unity of the students, young workers, soldiers and sailors in a real struggle against capitalist mili- tarism by fighting for concrete de- mands.

ITALIAN SENATE RATIFIES SOVIET COMMERCE PACT Manufacturers Eager for Russian Trade ROME, Nov. 24—By a vote of 158 to 15 the Italian senate approved the commercial treaty between the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics and the Italian government. Heads of various manufacturing combines have been visiting the So- viet, legation’s headquarters here in an attempt to get some Soviet Rus- sia’s trade. Long-term credits have been offered by a number of these combines. Russian Colonel in Czarist Army Now ‘ Guards Gould Estate NEW YORK, Nov. 24—Alexander Martynoff, who was a colonel in the Russian czar’s imperial army and for five years before the Russian revolu- tion, chief of police in Moscow, is now wearing the uniform of a Holmes’ pa- trolman and is guarding the home of Mrs, Finley J. Sheppard, formerly Helen Gould, at 47th street and Fifth avenue here. Martynoff was noted for his betial- ity in Moscow during his term as chief of police and at the outbreak of the Russian revolution fearing that the Russian workers and peasants would remember the inhuman tortures which he subjected them to, would cause his arrest and imprisonment, he fled to Crimea, Aids Denikin, In Crimea he joined the forces of Denikin and was made the chief of Police in Kiev. In Kiev, he did all that he possibly could to suppress any attempt on the part of the workers or Peasants to join hands with their comrades that were fighting the Deni- kin forces. . When Denekin was defeated, he fled to Constantinople, where he organized a detective bureau and aided the reac- tionary Turkish government to weed out the revolutionary young Turks, who wanted to abolish the sultan and change the form of governent. But he did not serve his masters long in Constantinople as the young Turks overthrew the sultan and declared a republic, In White Guard Haven, He then fled to the haven of all white guardists, America, where mem- bers of the working class are barred from holding opinions contrary to those running Wall Street's branch of- fice, the White House, and heartily embrace the oppressors of workers in other lands. He arrived here in New York and ever since has been working guarding the properties of rich para- sites that live off the labor of Ameri- can workers, To those who work hard for their money, | will save 50 per cent on all their dental work. DR. RASNICK DENTIST 645 Smithfield Street, PITTSBURGH, PA, THE DARLY WORKE |ATLANTIG COAST LINE OPERATORS TIE UP TRAFFIC Telegraphers Strike for Higher Wages (Special to The Dally Worker) WILMINGTON, N. C., Nov, 24.— The strike of the telegraphers on the Atlantic Coast Line railroad has tied up the movement of freight to such an exetnt that mearly all the road’s spurs near here. are cluttered with freight cars. Over 7,000 freight cars are on trucks and spurs of the road without any waybills and the destina- tion of these freight cars unknown. Tie Up All Traffic. The telegraphers have been on strike but a short time but they have been able to hopelessly tie up the traffic on the road. The company offi- cials are beginning to make overtures to the men to: come back to work. The men refuse to accept any compro- mise agreements, but demand that the company accedesto their demands of an increase of 7 ents per hour and two weeks’ vacation at full pay. The tieup of the roads not only af- fects the road in North Carolina, but the same is true in South Carolina, Georgia and Florida. Company Hires Scabs. The company in order to break the strike hired many so-called “operat- ors” that had graduated from tele- graph “colleges” to do the scabbing. The scabs are unable to do the work and as a result trains are running be- hind schedules and freight is con- gested. Trains are ordered to leave their terminals, they stand on the track for a number of hours, then the orders are to proceed, but no sooner have the trains started along their way, than they are ordered to stop and wait fur- ther instructions. This has caused trains to run anywhere from four to ten hours late. The other railroad unions are aiding the telegraphers and they see to it the train service laws are strictly en- forced, which povide that train crews and trains can only work a certain maximum numibe? of hours. Train; Hits Bus. The congestion of the freight has caused many dents. Recently a bus with about 30 children was hit by a Coast Line train, killing a number and injuring the’ Survivors. The cross- ing at that poirlt, where the accident occurred, was Idd@ded to capacity with freight cars wl have been stand- ing there sin饑 the strike. The freight train had been “cut” to let traffic pass the crossing. The bus driver was crongiis this point and un- able to see what was going one be- hind the freight cars, was struck by a train, *. 8 — Unemployment in Great Britain. LONDON, Noy, 24—The unemploy- ment situation continues to grow worse—as may be seen from the fol- lowing quarterly figures of unemploy- ment. (These fig res are the aver- ages of the monthly figures published in the Labor Gazette): 1924: Janu- ary-March, 10.8 per cent; April-June, 9.5 per cent; July-September, 10.4 per cent; October-December, 11 per cent; 1925: January-March 11.5 per cent; April-June, 11.5 per cent; July-Septem- ber 12.1 per cent, During July, August and September unemployment hag been increasing in a number of the important indus- tries: shipbuilding; the boot and shoe trade; steel melting; pig iron manu- facture; pottery; iron ore mining; ma- rine engineering. HAGUE COURT PASSES BUGK TO LEAGUE OF NATIONS ON MOSUL (Special to The Daily Worker) THE HAGUE, Nov. 24.—The per- manent court for international jus- tice decided after hearing the report of a commission that had been ap- pointed to inv between England and Turkey over Mosul oil fields, that the decision of the league of nations council, that is to be m: on the question of Mosul shall be final and binding. It also decided that the decision must gain a unanimous vote in the league council and that the votes of Turkey or England will not be con- sidered in determining unanimity, Turks Defy Court. When the court was first in- structed to discuss the issue, the Turks in an emphatic manner Showed that they would not abide by the decision of the league of na- tions, which they claim is British- controlled, or the Hague court, if the decision was detrimental to the Angora government and in favor of the British government, England is insistent that Turkey relinquish her claims to Mosul, which she gained in the league of nations mandate for Irak, and thus allow her to exploit the oil fields over which the two powers are now fighting. Passing the Buck, The decision of the permanent court for international justice is a mere passing of the buck to the league of nations as it realizes that its decisions cannot be put into op- eration, due to Turkey's refusal to submit to any attempt to hide t R Russian Sea Captain Discovers Ancient City Beneath Caspian Sea MOSCOW, Nov. 24—An oriental city which flourished thousands of) years ago but was lost to history, has been discovered beneath the waters} of the Caspian Sea by Captain Atayev, head of the Soviet Caspian merchant marine and has been confirmed by a group of Russian scientists, The captain had his attention called to the submarine city when, having deviated from his usual course, on a voyage from Persia to Baku, his leads- men found that the depth changed rapidly, alternating at irregular inter- vals as tho there were holes in the bottom of the sea, Returning over the same route on a calm sunny day, the captain was able to see on the bottom of the sea the clear outline of streets and houses, stretching for miles along fhe coast, near Cape Shik- hova, FEDERAL TRADE BOARD ‘PROBES’ ELECTRIC TRUST Commission on Another Whitewash Expedition (Special to The Daily Worker) WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.—The fed eral trade commission has now de- clared an “investigation” of the Gen- eral Electric company and its hold- ings. The investigation is being car- ried out much against the will of the administration and will undoubtedly result in no action being taken against the public utilities trust which has been formed in this country. Morgan Controlled. The General Electric company is controlled by J. P. Morgan and con- trols 145 power companies in the United States, Canada and Latin-Am- erica. This company owns large water power rights in all parts of the United States and has at the present time over fifty applications for power sites filed by its subsidiaries before the fed- eral power commission in its attempt to gain the addition of 4,000,000 horse power of electricity from water sites now owned by the government. and not as yet under private exploftation. Tried to Grab Muscle Shoals. This company which has gaihed control of the formerly British-owned Alabama Power company also at- tempted to gain control of the Muscle Shoals project, which could, be de veloped so that it would supply suffi- cient power for a large section. of the southern states. The Underwood bill which the pow- er trust attempted to jam thru would have turned the Muscle Shoal project over the Alabama Power and thus in- to the hands of the Morgan interests. Strangle Industrial Combines. The group that has forced the:pres- ent “investigation” of the electric power trust claims that this concen- tration if allowed to develop will strangle the industrial corporations of the country thru its control of electric Power and charge that the trust al- ready has control of the lighting of homes, stores, factories, etc. Austrian Archduke Prepares for Fascist “Revolt” in Hungary (Special to The Daily Worker) BUDAPEST, Hungary, Nov. 24.— Archduke Albrecht of Austria is con- tinuing his organization of fascists in Hungary, with the intention of be- coming the Mussolini of Hungary. The Budapest press points out that when the Italian fascist head, Benito Musso- lini, spoke of other countries turning to fascism that he had in mind Hun- gary. _ Archduke Albrecht has been in the good graces of the Italian fascist and is engaged to be married to the youngest daughter of the Italian king, Victor Emmanuel, if he succeeds in becoming the dictator of Hungary, The supporters of “King” Otto, the son of Empress Zita—and a Haps- burg, are worried as this plan of the archduke may interfere with their plans of putting their “king” back on the throne. Archduke Albrecht held a confer- ence recently at Mondsee in Tyrol with a number of the heads of form- er kingdoms to discuss a fascist coup in central Europe. Bourgeois Opposition Press Killed in Italy (Special to The Daily Worker) ROME, Italy, Nov, 24—Mussolini has suppressed the independent organ The Corriere Della Sera of Milan, Farinnaci, secretary of the fascist party, declared that Crespi brothers (industrialists) “must choose between pro-fascist or anti-fascist.” Under the fascist regime Mussolini has a right to suppress and confiscate the property of anti-fascist publica- tions. The Crespi brothers yielded and Senator Albertini, the present di- rector resigned as he opposed the fas- cisti, The new manager will be a fascist. Thus the last vestige of free- dom of press is eliminated. The Com- munist underground press is the only nm, and is an | press left in Italy to expose the ter- rorism and rottenness of the fascisti, Page Three BRAZIL BOSSES IMPORT CHEAP JAP LABORERS Japanese Government) Supplies Brazil Scabs (Special to The Daily Worker) SAO PAULO, Brazil, Noy, 24.—-Un-} til recently Brazil has been able to) get all the immigrants she wanted| from foreign countries—especially Buropean—by the old methods of false representation, lies and decep- tion. As nowadays much more pub- licity is given to the actual state of agairs in Brazil, it is no longer so easy to get immigrants in this way. Urged on by the employers, the Brazilian government is now trying new means | to draw foreign workers into the coun- try. The authorities of Sao Paulo par- ticularly are doing all they can to pro- mote state subsidized immigration. They have for instance concluded an agreement with the Japanese govern- ment for the supply of a certain num- ber of workers per year. The first of these contingents, destined for the coffee plantations, arrived at the end of September. The Japanese govern- ment officer in charge stated that “the nen have been carefully selected, and free from all taint of socialism.” fen more contingents are expected luring the remaining months of 1925. But before very long—as experience as shown—the inhuman working con- litions on the plantations will un- loubtedly result in these Japanese im- migrants turning to try their luck in the industrial centers. And there, by accepting lower wages, they will force down,the standard of living of the resident workers. Workers—especially Japanese work- ers—who are thinking of emigrating to Brazil, are hereby earnestly warned not to. What the papers say cannot be re- lied upon, as is clear from the fact that many of the Brazilian papers— especially those published for immi- grants, are in the service of the gov- ernment. In O Combate (issue of Sept. 16), e. g., we find a statement to the effect that the national finance de- partment decided at its last meet- ing to grant 250 milreis to the Ger- man paper of Sao Paulo, and 500 mil- reis to the Hungarian newspaaper as payment for the “information” pub- lished by them in July. It is a well- known fact that these papers suppress ull reports showing up cases of swin- lling and frauds in land purchases. mmigration, etc., for fear of the for- eiture of these government grants Workers are therefore warned against he Brazilian papers, Japanese Finance Mission Fails to _ Get English Loan LONDON, Nov. 24.—The Japanese delegation which was sent here by the Nippon government to negotiate a loan for the finance department, was unable to get a loan here except at Tates of interest and at such terms that the delegation could not accept them without raising a great protest in Japan. The finance department has recent- ly made large appropriations for na- val construction purposes and for military use against the opposition of the agrarian bloc which demanded money for rice growing, that it feels that a loan at a high rate of inter- est will seriously embarrass it in Japan if it attempts to float such in England.
