MEMBERS LESS Misleaders’ Treachery Is Cause LONDON, De — Due to the ollaboration and yal tactics of the British Trade Union Congress under the leadership of the } Donaldists, membership in B: trade unions has taken a heavy slump during the last year. The Ministry of Labor Gazette reports that during 1927 there was a reduc- tion of 299,000 as compared with 1926. Ever since the MacDonald la- bor ministry and the betrayal of the general strike in 1925, membership in the unions affiliated with the Trade Union Congress has dropped considerably. It is significant to note that the greatest drop occurred in the mining unions, which lost 107,000 members during the last + ear, while the railroad unions lost 79,000 and the metal groups 38,000. Tf it is recalled that the reformist abor leaders sold out the coal miners nd that they are now in one of the yorst situations in their his and hat similarly the misleaders had in- luced the railroad workers to ac- sept wage cuts on a ¢ ollabora- jon basis, then this union member- ship slump is not surprising. The Left Wing Minority Move- nent in Britain, however, is gaining adherents and influence and much of the lost membership in the re- formist unions can undoubtedly be ‘raced to increased membership in ‘he minority movement. teorge Pershing, Anti- "mnerialist, Will Speak ‘4 Many Eastern Cities x | George Pershing, under the aus- ices of the American section of the ML - America Anti - Imperialist Yeague is at:present on a tour of he country speaking on Hoover's “nerialist cruise to Latin America nd the frantic prepaartions of per‘alism for war. ‘The Learue announces the follow > dates for Pershing meetings: December 27, evening, at Wilming- ».

A supreme effort is apparently being made by the Soviet art and commercial organs to obtain a maximum of interesting displays for the American show. Great hopes are entertained here that the Soviet exhibition will go far towards bringing about what is termed a “cultural rapprochement” between the United States and the Soviet Union. The hopes, of course, are in line with a heightened opti- mism on the whole issue of Soviet- American relations following recent contracts with the General Electric Company, the Radio Corporation of America and other commercial groups.

The Stude- baker plant was closed from Oct. 81 to Nov, 12, and of course the workers were laid off. The plant was closed for inventory. Also, sey- eral departments are moving their machinery to South Bend Indiana. That means over 1500 men and women workers will be thrown out of work. Hoover talks about pros- perity—yes, for the bosses. But in Detroit more thousands tramp the| streets every day in the search for| work.
