Among the delegates there are: the chairman of the Pennsylvania Federa- tion of Labor, member of the Exec- utive Committee of the Socialist Party, James Maurer; the former chairman of the Pennsylvania Miners’ Union, John Brophy; thé editor of the machine workers magazine, Al- bert Coyle; the former editor of the Colorado trade union paper, Frank Palmer; the chairman of the Estrade workers union, James Pitzpatrick. The delegation is accompanied by a group of economists—professors of the Columbian and Chicago Uni- yersities. | A workers’ group was organized in the end of September so as ‘to take a trip round the U.S.S.R. and to return to Moscow for the October celebra- tions. * * Industrial Progress in the First Half of 1926-1927, MOSCOW, U.

This favorable situation has been attained by exceeding the limits of \the programme ia heavy industry. jn |the light industries aeve lopment jas | been some slower. The output of | the heavy industries during the first The Dzhulfa road is a part of the) half-year amounts to the value of 1,- | 228.3 million roubles. This is an in- | crease of 25.7 per cent. The programme | considered an increase of 23.2 per cent. |The output of light industry amounts jto 1, million roubles which is an |inerease of only 14.2 per cent, while |the plan forecasted an increase of |17.4 per cent. In some industries the inerease is considerably greater than | was expected according te plan. The | oil industry shows an increase of | 28.5 per cent against 17 per cent pro- jected in the plan; the metallurgical 4ndustry shows 30 per cent against 23 | per eent; the electro-technical indus {try shows 34 against 25.9 per cent; lumber shows 39.4 per cent against | 22.2 per cent; cotton goods 19.1 per }cent against 16.3 per cent; woolen | goods 16.6 per cent against 13.2 per |eent; leather 33.5 per cent against } 21.1 per cent, ete. | On the whole the industrial pro- | gramme, as may be judged from pre- liminary figures, will be carried out | to the full during the year. It may |even be over-stepped. It is quite probable ‘that the light industries will be 2 to 2.5 per cent below the pro- ramme. This is primarily due to he fact that the projected advance- ent of the sugar, dairy and fish industries will not be fully carried | out. | The number of workers engaged in | industry has increased 5.1 per cent. |The plan considered an increase of is per cent for the year. | * * * Yugostal Makes Progress. The Yugostal plants have produced metallurgical products during the |first three-quarters of this year to |the value of 437 million roubles. This is 108 per cent of its programme. Contrasted with the corresponding period of a year ago the production of Yugostal has increased 38 per cent. Most progress has been made this year in the Lenin plant (turbines in | Dnieprpetrovsk), the Voroshiloy plant {(near Dugansk), and the Tomsky |plant (in Makeiev). Their output is | 11.19 per cent above the plan. The |program contemplated for the year will be carried out towards the middle of August. | * * Wages Increase. | Wages have increased during the first part of this year compared with ithe same period of last year as fol- lows: * Metal workers Miners Textile workers Chemical workers Food workers Leather workers Wood. workers 12.3% 15.7% 12.5% » AL% 14.1% 4.2% The slight increase in the wages of during that period food and wood workers and others is!

It was in vain that various other leaders endeavoured to hold out big prospects before the Histadruth mem- bers. Not one of them was able to | propose any concrete measures for a wide-seale continuation of Zionist plans for the liquidation of unemploy- ment and increasing colonization ac- tivity. Thus there remained nothing else to do but to appeal in various tones to the. petty-bourgeois ro- manticism of the Histadruth mem- bers, to whom was recommended “blind faith” in the Zionist ideals of the Histadruth leaders and “fidelity to the Zionist flag,” in spite of every- thing—in one world: “Hold out for the fatherland!” What the Zionist majority of the! “Histadruth” Congress was unable to give to the Jewish workers in the way of concrete solutions of their vital questions (which are no longer to be found within the circle of ideas of | Zionism), they sought to make up by demagogic attacks on the eight dele- | gates of the Workers’ Left. The lat- ter had attempted to draw the at-| tention of the Congress to the real solutely necessary for the workers, the adoption of which would neces- sarily involve the discarding of reac. tionary Zionist ideology, and the transformation of the “Histadruth” into a real workers’ organization, The essence of the speeches of the “Left Bloc” was that for the “See Russia for Yourself” “A New World Unfolding” A Jubilee Tour to witness the Tenth Anniversary of the Russian Revolution Eight Weeks OCTOBER 14 TO DECEMBER 15, 1927 iS ak srad-Moscow on-Helsingfors-Lenin GREAT RECEPTION—BEST ACCOMMODATIONS A REVELATION TO ALL VISITORS ° 100 TOURISTS ONLY Bpecial priviloges to representatives of Organt- vations and Institutions hy Apply tmmediately to WORLD TOURISTS, Inc. 69 Fifth Avenue New York Algonquin 900, “An Education to the Visiter” “The Greatest Achtevement in History” imperial- » hope of rom the gz led t into gainst s be- ich is ich was ts and Zion- by a , which protagon- by such ne in many on the two ood of many » longer in har- of the Zionist » were compelled f the members of cept a number s were admitted for the , though of s with equal For the first opted recom- g of the Arab against the > 11 months a British judge peaceful unem- 1, as well as S,, Which are nd more frequent, of workers, was Although the monstr hard on ployed against becow poli ly adopted question ¢ and Va‘ death pe particularly mandat ition of the is enforced in a anner by the government in Palestine, With regard to the Soviet Union, |@ resolution was adopted welcoming | the Russian Revolution and the splen- | did colonization work of the soviet | government in settling working Jews jon the land.
