Cruiser ‘Emden’ (Wireless by Inprecorr) BERLIN, Jan. 2.--The shop coun cils election of the Dresden trans- | port workers has given the Commu- nist opposition amajority, the Com- munists getting five seats and the “socialists” two seats, as against the six seats held by the “socialist and one by the opposition before t election. The Communist fraction in the Reichstag has introduced an inter- pellation in behalf of the mutineers of the cruiser Emden, demanding jpunishment of the officers respon- sible for the maltreatment of the men and demanding mass commit- tees for the men. The Communist worker Walter Neumann, shot when fascists attack- ed a group of workers at the Goer- litzer railway station, died in the hospital yesterday. The Reichswehr Minister Groener, in New Year’s greetings, exposes | the intentions to use the Reichswehr against the revolutionary workers in coming struggles. The statement declares that “troubles” consequent on the introduction of the Youn Plan, will increase, and that th means the Reichswehr will perform “great tasks.” | PROPAGANDIZE TO HIDE CRISIS The hours of labor are from six five thirty at night but the boss does DAILY WUKKER, NEW YORK, FRIDAY, JANUAKY 3, A.F.OF L.

Meets Hot Reply. A storm of denunciation met the | astonished signers of this appeal. Even the rank and file of the Alli- ance, of which these three signers were officers, raised a protest. The National Committee of the Alliance | objected, the Left Trade Union cen- ter, the Kyogikei, and other bodies | condemned the proposal. The Kyo- | gikai made the following points in| answer: | 1. The Communist Party was |checking this drift toward pessim- ism.

It has nothing “about war danger, de- fense of the Soviet Union or the Chinese Revolution. Colonial revo- lution is ignored. But despite these liquidators, and |those of Hoover, Mellon and La- the government attacks, the fight will go on until the Japanese pro- letariat seizes power., The Communist Party is not an- nihilated. On the contrary its ac- tivities are growing. The proletariat is giving its whole-hearted support. Not only in the left wing unions, but even in the right wing unions the Party gets support. The Party has centered its activities in the fac- tories and these are its fortresses. 5-Day Week is Discussed by U.S. S. R. Workers | MOSCOW, (By Inprecorr Mail Service).—A conference has taken place here to discuss the introduc- tion of the five day week in the fac- tories and institutions of the Soviet Union. Together with the socialist) competitive scheme the introduction of the five day week is one of the most important factors for the in- crease of the productivity of labor and the rationalisation of the fac- tories. - Three months experience of the five day working week in a number of factories and institutions have already led to considerable increases of production, the reduction of the costs of production, the improve- ment of the quality of production, the rationalisation of the factories, the introduction of new sections of the workers into the process of production and the revolutionisation of working life. | Criticism was expressed concern- ing the intrduction of -the five-day week into certain factories without the necessary preparations and with the adaption of the necessary sup- plementary factories and_ institu- tions, supply cf raw materials, etc. The conference showed the way to overcome these errors and placed it- self the task of mobilising the ac- tivity and the initiative of the work- ing class to the task in hand on as broad a basis as possible in or- der to introduce the five day week as quickly as possible for at least two-thirds of industry. a Report U.S. in Huge Loan to Argentina BUENOS AIRES, Jan. 2.—A loan of $100,000,000 is being negotiated from American bankers, according to information printed in the news- papers Razon and Frensa. Presi- with British and American bankers for a loan, and the newspapers are spreading the rumor that $100,000,- 000 is being lent by Wall Street. There is at present a severe cri in Argentina. The farmers espe- cially are hard hit. Recently, the bank of exchange was closed down, precipitating a severe financial slump. Trygoyen favors British imperia!- ism over its Wall Street rival. A special trade agreement has been signed with the British capitalists. The British’ textile industry was given a 50 per cent advantage over its American rival. i No details have been published concerning the loan from American bankers.

WASHINGTON (By Mail).— % tells us that the new party was | |tofore in the Daily Worker, is as- ployment to tide the bosses over. The crisis, as we pointed out here- suming sharper forms and will con- | tinue to press harder and harder on the workers. Green’s statements, together with | mont, is intended for mass consump- tion; a sort o fsoothing syrup con- cocted to make wage cuts and un- employment easiex with _illusive hopes for the future. When speaking to one another, the capitalist economists cast this slop aside. Says Laurence H. Sloan, of the Standard Statistics Co.: “If we ruthlessly cast aside all the misleading information that | is current, all of the fine words, all of the whistling in the dark to keep up one’s courage and search only for the real facts, our deduc- tion must be that the main trend of business activity has been downward for several months past; that it is probably continuing downward at the moment, and that it is likely- to continue at a relatively low level during the normally quiet months immedi- ately ahead.” The great building boom that Hoo- ver dreamed about to tide over times of crisis has not gone past the substance that dreams are made of. Yet it is such stuff that Green ped- dies to allay the discontent of the great majority of the 2,000,000 workers in the building and related trades, who are jobless. Even the best capitalst trump- eteers, however, recognize that the building industry presents the black- est appearance of the lot. (igh! “Eighteen months of recession in the construction industry,” says P. W. Garrett, financial editor of the N. Y. Post, “present the longest building decline since the seven- teen-month depression ended in Dee. 1920.” London Worried By Indian Mass Move (Continued from Page One) voted to authorize a campaign of civil disobedience at some future date, it is not feared.’ Of course, one must amend this notion with the other fact that the masses of ‘India may go much further than the National Congress and the paci- fist Ghandi wishes them to go.
