The merger, which is the bosses’ feeble counter proposal to the nationalization de- mands of the miners, shows what complete chaos and demoralization exists among the British coal mine owners. It is being freely admitted that the industry is on its last legs and that only drastic measures can in any way remedy the chaotic conditions now prevailing. Only thru a widespread combination of British mine owners thru regulation of output and price- fixing, it is believed, can the British pit-barons hope to undersell their ‘competitors on the continent. Fuller, Guarded By Detectives, Skulks Capitalist Democracy and Prosperity Exposed By Jay LovesTonE ERE is the answer to all the pre- election bunk of pros- perity. Here are the facts of just exactly how “prosperous” the workers in this coun- try are. In simple, very read- able easy style, the author explodes the myth of high wages and presents conditions as they exist today. the old dictator himself—who had been abroad “for his health,” returned to Nicaragua a couple of weeks ago and was welcomed with much pomp and ceremony, at the port of Corinto by an official government demon- stration, with President Adolfo Diaz doing him personal honor. | Development By SCH. ELIAVA, INTIL the revolution of 1917, Geor- gia was divided into separate ad- ministrative units (governments) of the Russian Empire. It did not exist as a separate organism. Like the whole of Trans-Caucasia, it served the Russia Empire as a strategic basis for the execution of imperialist expan- sion in the direction of Turkey and Persia and at the same time as a colony with a view to the object of plundering its natural resources. The development of the economic and cultural forces of the country was not only not promoted, but was artificially kept down. In its place, the czarist regime foisted on the country many officials, military officers, clergymen and mis- sionaries from aristocratic or bour- geois circles, all of whom were im- ister of War.

The development of the individual branches of economy is characterized in agriculture by the active construc- tion of irrigation plants, by the re- clamatign of the swamps of Poti, Ko- bal and Abchasia, by the distribu- tion of agricultural machirery and tractors among the peasant popula- tion, by the organization of an_agri- cultural credit system, by the devel- opment of the tea plantations (in the course of the next five years, 20,000 hectares will be planted), by the, re- storation and enlargement of the.area under cotton, by the improvement of the entire system of viticulture, by the introduction of more acti scientific methods, by the proniotion of silkworm cultivation and the whole- sale organization of cotton husking, and | tions, and by the institution of agri- {and other places saw-mills have been | cultural relief measures. In the realm cf industrial activity, with the inception of Soviet power, factories and workshops have been erected for exploiting and working- up the inexhaustible stocks of all kinds of raw materials. In the short period of seven years since the es- tablishment of Soviet authority, the following textile factories have been in erected and put into operation Georgia: a cloth factory at Kula silk-yarn factories in Choni, Osur- getia, and Televa. At Tiflis a gigan- tic cloth factory is in the course of |construction, with a prospective out- {eloth per annum.

At Bateum, a petroleum re- |finery is being established, close to jthe Kaspi railway station a cement |factory, at Kutais a rolling-mill, in |the Achalakalak and Dushet districts | cheese-works, and in the Sonak region ham-curing works. | Since the year 1928-24, we have | been in a position to realize results; before that there was a period of ac- tive preparation. While the big in- ies alone occupied 8,027 workers 4 and 9,838 in 1924-25, this number rose in 1925-26 to 14,362. Pro- jduction has increased three-foid. Furthermore, we have organized in | Georgia and in all Trans-Caucasia a ificent systematic work of elec- ation on the strength of the tremendous supplies of “white coal.” * * * As regards cultural work (schools, arties and co-operatives, and the jailing of active trade union fighters have reached hte American delega- tion.
