The working out of the project for the Turkestan-Siberian Railway line has already been completed. By the 2nd of August 25 klms. had already been laid out. Work is in progress over a distance of 100 klms. The line will be 800 kIms in length.

A collective agreement has ‘been! arrived at between the administration | and the trade union affecting all | workers. | The first temporary station of the, Turkestan-Siberian Railway, named “Iltysh” will shortly be opened. Tractors in the Caucasus. Already 4,765 tractors have been delivered to the northern Caucasus: The First American Type of Shaft In the U.S.S.R. Work will begin at the end of! August in the Chastkoy district Don- | bas on the construction of the “Amerikanka” mine. modern American type. It esti- | mated that its annual output will be) about 600 million poods of anthracite | —200 car-loads a day. At the pres-| ent time the equipment of an elec-| tric station in the district is nearing completion. Cranes and compressors are set up. Plans are laid out for the district and railway lines are be-| ing built. | Automatic Bakery. The equipment of a large automatic bakery is being completed in Lenin- grad. It will be the second largest! in Europe. | Seventy per cent of the baking pro- | cess will be mechanized. Its pro-| ductivity will be 12,100 poods in 20) hours.

Timber Export Through Leningrad. | Extensive work has been started in| the direction of an automatic timber | export harbor in Leningrad. Good. Sugar Beet Harvest. The sugar beet crop this year sur- Passes all expectations and beats the record for the last 10 years. The) average yield is a thousand poods per} dessiatin and in some places it is! 2,000. | Owing to the improvement in sugar | raw materials the sugar industry| will proceed with the construction of | the two sugar refineries in the! Ukraine one. in Kharkoy and. one. in| Kiev, which will work up 120,000 Next season there will be also 3 idle sugar re- fineries put in operation. | Grain Purchases. | The grain purchasing campaign is| developing intensively in the Ukraine. 800,000 poods were bought in July— in July last year 430,000 poods. The new harvest is at least 25 per cent higher than last year’s both qualita- tively and quantitatively. There are more than 250 tractors employed in} threshing in the Dniepropetroysk} district. A marked increase in the buying of grain has been made in the last 5 days of July in North Caucasus. 700,000 poods were bought between July 25th and Bist. This is 75 per cent more than the preceding 5 days: Altogether 1,746,000 poods were bought in July, over 75 per cent of which is wheat. The buying of grain in the Chimea is proceeding more successfully than last year. The main buyers bought 500,000 poods in July which is double. the purchases of last year. Owing to the delayed harvesting because of the rains, the harvest will be compeeted within the next few days which wil} inerease the purchases to a_ still greater extent, particularly of wheat. The role of the private buyers has been reduced practically to nothing. Wages Grow. The last collective agreements re- sulted both in higher wages and higher productivity of labor. During the period of October-May, 1926-1927, the average monthly wage in big in- dustry increased 12 per cent. The productivity of labor per worker, has increased 14 to 15 per cent. THE DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1927 | American Workers’ Excursion Leaves For Moscow. | The American excursion of work- |ers:and clerks left Leningrad in the jevening of August 4th for Moscow.}| |Before leaving the excursion ad- | dressed a declaration to the Leningrad | 'proletariat in which among other | things it is pointed out that the la- | S The declara- coming to the U.S.S.R.. have been con-|tion promises that on their return the! delegates will tell the full truth of what they saw in the U.S.S.R. | American Cooperative Delegation in| the U.S.S.R. On invitation of the Centrosoyous the American cooperators Matti Tengunen*and Ekel Rono, who were sent by'the American cooperatives to the XII International Cooperative Congress to Stockholm, visited the USSR. Tengunen and Rono made a study of the Soviet cooperatives. All their conclusions and impressions were written down in a separate declara- tion which says: What we have seen in the U.S.S.R. |was an unexpected surprise to us! It will be of a| who came from America, where we! read in the papers about chaos and rder in Russia. We found in the S.R. contented and happy people. Particularly is this true of the youth. Their vitality and healthy appear- ance is a result of the health protec- tion given to children and young workers. é The working conditions and clean- liness which we have found in the | factories are above the conditions of | an average American factory. The 8-hour day, the annual paid vacation, the payment’ of wages during illness, all these are things of which the American workers dare not dream. Speaking about ‘the cooperatives the declaration says: There are 11 million people in owe organization which does 48 per cent of all the business in the countfy. have achieved. Such success has I come possible only thanks to the close collaboration between the coopeta- e- | tives, trade unions and the workets’|geoisie and its government. Such progress is abso*. lutely impossible in any bourgeois country. Tourists in USSR Don’t Worry Much About “Wardrobes The problem of what to wear and what clothes to take along in order not to appear out of fashion, that con- fronts most tourists, is one that can be lightly dismissed by those who will | travel to the Soviet Union on the eight weeks’ tour being arranged by World Tourists, Inc., of 69 Fifth Avenue, New York. In the Soviet Union there is no clothing standard. The head of a state sthook system may wear a blue flan- nel shirt, a pair of old corduroys, leather boots, a leather coat and a felt ‘hat. The World Tourists group will not | be encumbered by huge wardrobes of smartly tailored clothes and will not spend “hours of ‘worry about “what to wear.” Every tourist will be fur- nished a list of the articles of cloth- ing’ and. personal effects they may take with them duty free, and though there is no social code which requires a certain dress for any occasion, the greatest freedom is allowed the in- dividual. Algonquin 6900 is quite a busy ex- change in these days of preparation of the second tour to Soviet Russia. The party will sail via the Cunard} liner “Carmania” to London, then pro- eeed to Helsingfors, Leningrad and Moscow. Of the one hundred to which the party is limited there are still reser- vations open, and those who are lured } by the prospect of a trip to the U. S. S. R., must apply at once at 69 Fifth ‘Avenue, New York. WANTED — MORE READERS! | Red Aid Appeal. | ternational Red Aid publishes the fol- lowing appeal: The incredible has happened.

While he was speaking a few le- gionnaires began heckling him. He paid no attention to them, Failing to provoke him the legion- naires withdrew and consulted. They left the place and in a few minutes they returned to the scene dressed in their uniforms and helmets. Without further discussion, they rushed up to the stand, dragged down the speaker, and after destroying all of the literature at the meeting, beat up| the speaker. The police, as usual, vanished or proved hard of hearing atgthe time. Swivel-Chair Combatants. That this was a prearranged move was proved the following day. The legion, headed by Major Robertson, who served as a swivel-chair com- batant during the war, brought a resolution before the city council on the following morning, to forbid radi- cal speakers from holding meetings | ‘in public thorofares. Fortunately all jradicals and progressives formed a united front and after a public hear- jing the council defeated the resolu- tion. During the Saeco-Vanzetti cam- paign, the legion again took up the cudgel of reaction. The city admin- istration due to the energetic activity |of the Emergency Committee, as well |as the popular sympathy for the two workers, behaved decently during the campaign. Mass demonstrations were held thruout the city, without police interference. That fact, however, ag- gravated the lackeys of Major Rob- ertson and his cohorts and they filed complaints with the city fathers to that effect.
