ALL UNION PARTY POINTS TO GAINS t TEXTILE MILLS lize 7-Hour Day on National Scale MOSCOW, (By Mail).-A dacision ntral Committee of the Corn- ty of the Soviet Union has | e. Pe heenprbl: / “the textile industry. The docision summarises the experience of about) - 4 months in this greatest en7ur- prise of thd Soviet Government in the textile industry and maps out a of measures with the object of g¢ the further extension of the 7-hour day in other enterprises. “We will remember — says , ‘Pravda’—the attitude of the bour- geois press to this Soviet undertaking. * We also remember the attitude of the Social Democratic press. The Mam- \festo of the Central Executive Com- + mitte of the Soviet Government pro- claiming the ‘-hour day was a , powerful blow for the bourgeoisie fighting against us and against the proletariat of their respective coun- “Tt was also a blow for the Social Denioerats who conceal the bourgeois attack on the 8-hour day and malig- nantly slander the U. 8. S. R. It wae a blow to the Trotskyists who lost their faith in the potentialities of the proletariat. But at the same time it was a cause for the greatest en- thusiasm of the workers of all coun- tries. “The bourgeoisie, the Social Demo- erats, and those who side with them wero at first joking over the slogan. They maintained that this was noth- ing but a sheer declaration to the eifect that at one time something will happen, something will commence, ete. Later they wore forced to adopt the tactics of silence, to give the impres- sion that nothing has happened. “The capitalists and Social Demo- keeping this from the workers! The truth will be known to all of them! All will find out that this tremend- ous social-political, cultural and econ- omic ¢ocialist measure, the 7-hour day, is being realized in the U 8. 8.
