As a result the employ- ers caved in and all the workers have won their demands. The custom tailors are on sirike in thens, demanding wage increases. Endeavors to bring in strikebreakers broke down completely owing to effi- cient picketing and a shortage o! scabs. The boot. and. shoe workers are also on strike for wage increases in Athens.

During the fifteen years of its ex- istence the Soviet Union has made mous progress in conquering the disease and filth that characterized the Czarist regime. In 1917 there were only 487 medical-aid stations in factories throughout Czarist Russia. ‘The number has grown to 4,609 by 1931, while in the current year it reached 5,506,.an increase of nearly 1,100 per cent.

VETS JOIN MARCH Minneapolis Group to Leave Tommorow (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) tion gathered here among the soldiers of the Third Corps Area indicates steadily growing sympathy for the bonus and hunger marchers. The fact that many of the soldiers are also hoiders of adjusted service (bonus) certificates and that more than 75 per cent of them are compelled to send part of their misreable pay home to help their families, which have been hit by unemployment, is strengthen- ing the bonds of. solidarity between them and the bonus and hunger fighters, The reports also indicate a feeling of resentment over the possibility that they may be used against the march- ers. In the last bonus march 25 mar- ines disobeyed orders and refused to attack the vets, and the military au- thori ies are therefore keeping cloce watch on all enlisted men in an effort to prevent a repetition of this.
