BU SVERDLOVSK July 1 iberian Wilderness CHWALD. 7.—Yesterday occurred the official Opening of a new giant of socialist industry, the Ural Heavy Machine Con- struction Plant. More than 50,000 workers gathered for the opening cere- mony on “First Five Year Plan Square” in the new socialist city. The best shock brigaders of the giant plant and representatives of work- ers and collective farm from all paris of organizations the Soviet Union tock their places on the new plat~ form over which towered a gigantic statue of Lenin Great Achievement for Urals. The celebration by tremendous entt after column ente The entire citys From the platform splendid shops of the Ural construction plant the “factory manufacturing ies.” The opening of this new unit of soci astry commemorates two Oecasions—on July 15, 1919, Kolchak was driven from the Urals, on July 15, 1928, the first axe blow fell on the dense forest, clearing a place for the construction of this great ma- Chine plant. Many units of the Plant have already been working sev- eval months supplying Soviet metal- lurgy and mining with complex ma- chine equipment. The Ural plant is the biggest heavy machine construction plant From the platform and from the wide Square one can see and feel the Majesty and power of the new Sov- fet. plant Not one kopeck from abroad aided im the building of this plant. Only the initiative and resources of the Soviet Union under the leadership of the Leninist Party made this pos- sible. Not Satisfied with First Victories. The tone of all the speeches was Mot one of self-praise, however. It Was one that revealed recognition of responsibilities. The opening of the plant does not mean workers can rest on laurels. They still face the com- plex task of completely mastering the high technique and using it to greater advantage than ever can be possible in the capitalist world by compelling the machines to work full speed so that there can be turned out great volumes of high- grade machines for Soviet heavy in- dustry. When the meeting was over the first group marching past the plat- form consisted of forty formér par- tisan fighters who aided the Soviet government forces beat back the white guardist and imperialist inter- ventionist hordes in 1919. It was on this very spot that the workers’ and Peasant’ forces first repulsed and started the rout of the whites. It was here that the disintegrating forces of Kolchak rolled back before the heavy blows of the red forces, here that the Czechoslovakian bands of Genere Gaida were stopped. To- day, fifteen years later, these fight- ers marched over asphalt pavements where once were forests of trees, fol- lowed by Red Front fighters in full uniform from Germany, Czechoslo- vekia who are now working in the shops of the new Soviet plant Everywhere throughout the new city is evidence of new life as only it is known here. Everything is bright * ew. Splendid workers’ quer’ avutactive shops, street cars operating fast schedule, great wide streets and boulevards, with flower beds in spaces in center. The plant itself is a model of comfort end health for the workers; great spaces with green lawn between plants. It is not only the scene of a new giant Soviet plant, but a new city of socialist life. SOVIET MAKE STRIDES IN METAL INDUSTRIES While American steel and metal manufacturers are closing down and dismantling plants the Soviet work- ers are busily constructing new fac- tories and stepping up output in those already built. A few recent reports show that The Kaganovich ball bearing works fn Moscow is planning immediate extension of work and addition of 3,460 workers to its payroll. It is now making 24 types of bearings, imeluding tractor bearings which have hitherto been imported ‘The Ural Machine Works has started construction of a rolling mill for the Chusoy viant. The mill's annual capacity will be 250,000 tons and will handle ingots weighing up to a ton.

There is no doubt that Britain is taking up the threat to her trade advantages contained in the United States policy of inflation and will devaluate the pound sterling.

Since the beginning of the con- ference and the realization that, far |from softening the effects of the | crisis, the capitalist world is sinking | into worse chaos than before, there has been an unprecedented activity in armament building. The collapse, and the frenzied building of naval ships and strengthening of the armed forces generally, are closely connected and indicate that the powers realize that the time if near at hand when the political maneuvers that have been carried on through conferences | will be played out and that the roar of guns on the battle field will drown | out the echoes of conference speeches. For two weeks delegates from’ var- ious countries have been returning to their homes.

Comrade Sano is a gifted leader of the Japa- nese Communist Party and ihe International Communist Move- ment.—Editor.) ut, There are two aangerous tenden- cies in connection with the question! of the attitude of the prisoners of class struggle to sentences passed upon them. There is first of all the position taken up by the anarchist Taiiro Furut: “Once you have fallen into the hands of the class enemy, do not resist.” That is nothing but a refusal to fight against the class enemy. It is complete capitulation. Objectively it amounts to retreating from class positions—though, of course, the position of the anarchists | is not a class position at all.

AGAINST FASCISM 46 Organizations Big United Front Meeting in LOS ANGELES.—More than 2,000 people took part in a mighty protest against Fascism at a meeting in the Philharmonic Auditorium on July 13, The meeting was sponsored by the United Front Conference Against Fas | cism, composed of 46 workers’, liberal and cultural organizations, and_ini- | | tiated by the ICOR, A resolution calling for the imme- held in the Hitler concentration camps and for the stoppage of terror organized by the Nazis was introduced by Dr. Rosanoff, the chairman of the meeting, and unanimously adopted. The resolution was sent to the Ger- man representative in Los Angeles and the ambassador in Washington, Among the speakers were Dr. J. C. Coleman, Executive Secretary of the Los Angeles Friends of the Soviet Union; A. L. Wirin, attorney for the International Labor Defense; Lewis Browne, liberal and author who re- cently visited Germany, and Sol El- stein of the ICOR. Attorney Wirin pointed out the danger of Fascism in this country and related the recent attacks on workers in Los Angeles by the Ku Klux Klan American Legionnaires and the “red squad,” and called upon the workers to fight fascism in Los Angeles. This protest meeting at the Phil- harmonic auditorium is the iirs’ since October, 1931, when the Mooney-Har- | lan Protest Meeting was attacked by Hynes and his “red squad.” Scores of workers were brutally beaten, tear- gassed and later tried on framed-up charges. Ship Yards Busy On Big Navy Plans, Workers’ Pay Cut BOSTON, Mass., July 16—How the shipyard workers will fare under the $315,000,000 program to build up the United States navy, which nounced as one of President Roos velt’s “biggest efforts to increase em- ployment,” is made clear by the con- ditions of work in the Fore River Shipyard, owned by a subsidiary of the Bethlehem Steel Corporation, which is owned by J. P. Morgan & Co, ‘The U. S. cruiser “Lexington” was built here; at present one destroyer is being built, and five more are pro- mised, in addition to engines for three more destroyers, and blading and high pressure casings for six. The 1,000 workers employed here work only three 44-hour weeks out of every four. The wages are as fol- lows: First class mechanics, who got 68c an hour in 1929, get 60c; second class mechanics, who got 60c in 1029, get 62c; helpers, Who got 45c in 1929 get 40c; unskilled workers who got 40c in 1929 get 28c. A first class mechanic thus~ gets a weekly average of $19.80, an un- skilled worker $9.24. These are less than a quarter of 1918 wages. ‘The company is breaking iis con- tract in paying this wage, according | to a recent report, which says that | the Matson Navigation Company bor- | rowed $750,000 from the U. S. Gov~- ernment to build a ship in this plant, } on the basis of an average wage of | 72c an hour.

Not only the wages, but also the disability allowance has been slashed from $15 to $8, although the monthly premium of $i.56 remains the same. Safe’y conditions are seriously neg- lected. In war time, when 15,000 men were working, there was an. average of 300 accidents a day. With fewer’ workers, the number of acccidents is smaller, but the dangers are just as high.

A student of the Harvard Business School, in a report on this yard, re- ports that the company boasts of its “excellent aber control.” That simply means that all independent organization of the workers is strictly forbidden, ist institutions.

They prove conclusive- \ly the Communist contention that | German fascism, far from tepresent- jing the interests of the “middle | classes”, the petty bourgeoisie and | the small farmers who flocked to ita support, has always been the serv- jant of the biggest capitalists only. The thorough-going attack on the | diate release of all political prisoners | working class, making even the pro- | tests of “faithful Nazis” in the lower | units illegal, reveals also in the clear- lest way that the murderous Nazi | campaign against all “Marxist ele- ments” is not merely an attack on |the most mititant sections of the working class, but is a of | terrorism directed against the whole | class of workers. A summary of Nazi decrees of the past few days is as follows: The biggest industrialists and fi- nanciers of Germany have been or- | ganized into a General Economic Council to advise the government on all economic measures. | All decisions as to wages and con- ditions of work are put into the { hands of a Council of Trustees of Labor, composed entirely of employ- ers.

Severe penalties, up to sentence of death, are provided for all opposi- tion to the Nazi program. Se cation of property and disfran: = ment is ordered for critics of the Nazi regime at home or abroad, All interference with industry is | to be punished severely as “insurrec- tion against the leader”. These decrees reveal at the same time the growing dissension within the Nazi ranks, and the existence of a powerful pressure from lower Nazi leaders—reflecting the mood of the | masses—to carry out some of the/* “socializing” measures which, Hitler © promised. The arrest of 200 Nazis, including four high officials and one in the highest circles, for insubordi- nation, is reported today. NEW YORK, July 17—The New York “Herald Tribune”, in an edi- torial today, emphasizes the sharp class character of fascism. It says: | “The resignation of the German nation’s economic policy into the hands of an industrial clique, made up entirely of capitalists who enjoy an international reputation, is an astonishingly bold acknowledgement of the Nazi party's debt to the great industrialists who financed Hitler’s movement, or an acknowledgement of the Nazi party’s incapacity to rule industry without them.” CARNEGIE COAL MAKES POISON GAS ‘AND STORES COKE Welfare’ Forces Men to Work There or Get Relief Cut By a Worker Correspondent CLAIRTON, Pa, — This is a com town located just outside of McKees- port.
