It follows, in part: The Soviet Union’s educational and economic program, Mr. Cromie told The Associated Press, “will for years keep her people’s desires ahead of their ability to supply those increas- ing appetites, “That is why Russia is to be en- vied; that is why her business and growth are bound to boom, while we in North America, in England and other parts of the world retrogress or stand still.” The Canadian journalist. went to the U.S.S.R. “expecting to see de- pressed and “starving people.” “We in. the United States and Can- ada certainly do not realize the way life is being lived in Russia, at least, I did not,” he declared. “There are hardships being endured.

Just by way of being neighborly I asked him: “Well, how do you like it?” The young udarnik slowly surveyed workers pouring into» Piatiletka Square with banners unfurled, with brass bands blaring, with song well- ing from thousands of breasts; the giant statue of Lenin on the tall tower of the tribune pointing triumphantly in the direction of the factory grounds with its beautiful silvery shops gleaming in the sun; the Administration Building with its stern geometrical forms animated by streamers of red bunting draping the giant initials of the new plant—‘U 2 T M” (the Russian thitials for “Ural Heavy Machine Construction Plant”); the young park festive in its red trimmings and sparkling with the spray of its huge fountain; the streets radiating from Piatiletka Square and presenting a beautiful perspective of new houses in the new workers’ townlet flying red flags, and finally—the soft dull green of the pine and birch forest mutely re- fo the Los Angeles County Grand dury to denounce the police for co- minding the spectators what this Giant Plant and Socialist Town Running Full | Blast Where Pine Trees Stood Five Years Ago; Already Over-fulfills Its Quota young udarnik surveyed it all and said with great earnestness: “Vesyoli dien!”, a jolly day! In the peasant vernacular the word “vesyoli” may mean- anything from great solemnity to mere jolity. What it meant to him could be guessed from his personal story, OF ee WAS one of the veterans of Uralmash, He came here from a near-by village five years ago, an illiterate boy bringing with him only his axe and his raw strength. He was among the first tree-fellers hese. ‘The lumber was used to put up Hasty temporary quarters for the building workers, From felling trees he ad- vanced gradually to carpentry and from illiteracy he plodded his way slowly and painfully toward educa- tion and class consciousness. » He: lit- erally grew with the plant—lumiber- jack, carpenter, leader of his build- ing brigade and now—a skilled ma- chinist working in the First, Mechan- icgl Department — an establishment which for its collection of modern machinery, its up-to-date equipment and its proportions has no equal in the world, “Here I first gained my sight,” he said. “TI feel like I have built it for myself and I am happy.” He is not the only one. The majority of the workers now em- ployed in the Uralmash are new to Place looked Itke five years ago. The proportion of women. Seasoned work- ers are few, but the raw rustic ele- ments are rapidly being moulded into skilled workers and class conscious proletarians, demonstration was on. The leaders of central and local gov- ernment and Party organizations mounted the platform. Several mass- ed bands played the International and then a hush fell over the Square as the loud speakers augmented the first word of the chairman—“Toyar- ishtshi!” The presiding comrade was Osh- vintsov, the Chairman of the Exec- utive Committee of the Soviets of the Ural Region. His was ‘truly a keynote speech. While spe: glowingly about the achievements of the Uralmash workers and about the tremendous importance of the new Plant, he spoke solemn words of warning about the danger of, get- ting dizzy with success. Today is a day of rejoicing and triumph. but to- morrow is another day with new big tasks ahead, calling for new feats of valor on the field of socialist en- deavor, ¥! The new plant is a splendid speci- men of Bolshevik construction, com- bining the last words of modern technique with features of comfort and beauty, which in capitalist coun- tries are considered quite irrelevant. The factory grounds are more beau- tiful than any fashionable street in @ capitalist metropolis. ‘The work- esses have been mechanized to such an extent that no phYsical ex- ertion is needed in any of the de- partments, and after his shift is done, a worker has sufficient vitality kers Celebrate Opening of World’s Greatest Machine Factory ee ast = fe fty Thousand Workers in Festival at World’s Most Modern Machine Plant, and New Social- ist City Built for Health and Culture left for recreation and education. Kindergartens, nurseries and factory dining rooms free the women of the drudgery of housework and. give them an opportunity, for the first time in history, to really become the men’s equals, But— The workers must master the ma~ chines, reduce the cost of production, eliminate waste, and reduce the per- centage of scrap to a minimum. Ural- mash belongs to the working class, and it will be as good or as bad a Plant as the workers will make it. Hundreds of ffctories, mines, blast fugnaces look to the new machine- building giant for much-needed equipment. The mass of workers (there must have been fully fifty thousand of them) listened attentively. A repre- sentative of the local Soviet stressed another point: attention to the needs of the workers and their families, Housing, food supply, recreation and communal services must be put on an efficient basis, with the individual worker certain that his needs are fully taken care of, . oo FO sSterdlovsk, the 15 of July is a historic date; for the builders of Uralmash the date is doubly signi- ficant: on July 15, 1919, Kolchak’s White Army was chased from Sverd- lovsk (then called Ekaterinburg) by the red hosts of the workers’ and peasants’ Revolu‘ion; on July 15, 1928, the first axes began felling the tall pine trees and clearing the thickly wooded ‘area which Uralmash was to be built; on July 15, 1933, the biggest heavy machinery orks in the world is being opened, ‘Actually Uralmash has been in oper- ation for a couple of months and has overfulfilled (126 per cent) its quota of initial production. But July 15 -is a fitting date be- cause it marks the virtual comple- tion of the town of Uralmash. Tech- nically, the settlement that has grown, around the Machine Works is part of the town of Sverdlovsk, a city of half ‘a million, the “Moscow of the Urals,” actually it is a new indust:ial. community, a socialist be ta with a population of 60,000, th its own municipal improve- ments, with new homes for its work- ers, with schools for its children, with a theatre, a workers club, health fa- cilities, etc. T forma] opening celebration re- echoed with a dozen or so smaller celebrations and feasts held the same evening. The celebration in the iron foundry department was absorbingly interesting. ‘The scene itself was striking. With the melting furnaces, boilers, grinding machines, sand- mixers and other noise and. heat- making implements stilled for the holiday, the air in the huge foundry smelled sweet, About a thousand workers—mostly youths, émployed in that department, were scattered picturesque Ups. ys ¢ The talks were brief and concrete. Here the speakers translated the general slogan of mastering the new technique into cast-iron facts, The defects of the department were dis- cussed with a splendid frankness and the merits were equally brought out. In the name of the triangle (di- rector of the department, secretary of the Party nucleus, and chairman of the trade union committee) the chairman of the trade union com- mittee announced the awards of prizes to udarniks and sketched the personality of every udarnik and his specific contribution to the depart- ment. It was a running story of quiet deeds of valor, of zeal and he- roism performed in modest surround- ings. Several of the udarniks did not expect to be thus honored and were plainly overcome with joy and embarrassment. The prizes’ were sub- stantial ones—sewing machines, bi- cycles, watches, hunting rifles, cam- eras and free trips to the country, over and above the régular free vaca~ tion (with pay). It was past midnight when I left the foundry shop where the hilarity was still at its height. Outside, the factory grounds were alive with festive humanity. The broad as- phalted avenue was aglow with lights. From the open windows of tine club rooms of the various shops came sounds of the accordion, piano and singing voices. Only the smoke stacks in the background suggested Outside of the cut and dried proposals, only Carl Winters, secretary of the Unemployed Councils, spoke urging the organization of a united unemployed movement. Towards the close of the confer- ence a great deal of discontent broke out, and two organizations refused to enter into the Executive Commit- tee. These were the Workers’ Com= mittee and the Association of the Unemployed. The Workers Unem- ployed League, representing one fac- tion in the Socialist Party controlled the whole conference, which changed its name to make it appear that it was a federation of unemployed or- ganizations of New York State. After the conference some of the delegates who had engaged beds at the Salvation Army—two of them Negroes—were refused admission to the building. Thereupon a member of the Communist Party proposed to the delegates that they picket the Salvation Army, A portion of the delegates, composed mostly of Young Peoples’ Socialist League, Young Communist League and Communist Party members, headed =by Robert Minor, went to the building and held a meeting although it was after midnight. Several carloads of police came, but the meeting lasted some time, A Socialist Party member, Sam Stein- salz, and Robert Minor spoke. Finally the police, who had arrived earlier, drove into the crowd and pushed them away, pulling Minor off the stand. Thereupon the work- ers went to the police station and lodged a complaint against the Salva tion Army for excluding Negroes, The police refused to take any com~ plaint. The Y. .C, l, members together with some Y, P.’S, L. members and some members of the Unemployed Council, ke informally about picketing the Salvation Army. It) developed that the Y.M.C.A. and the. Y.M.H.A. had also refused to accept Negroes. The Y.C.L. has announced that it is going to propose a united front of all who were ready to enter into a campaign to fight the dis- crimination at the Y.M.C.A., Y.M.H.A, and the Salvation Army. Chinese Red Army Consolidates Hold On Captured City Gov't General Claims Red Halt As His Victory SHANGHAI, Aug. 13.—The Chin- ese Red* Army has _ temporarily halted its advance toward the coast in Lungyen, which it captured last week, and is consolidating its posi- tion before advancing on Chang- chow. This is used by General Tsai Ting- kai, leader of the Nineteenth Route Army, which suffered a crushing de- feat at Lungyen, as the basis for a report claiming that he has suc- ceeded in stopping the advance of the Chinese Soviet army, Even before the new conflicts be- tween the Red Army and the gov- ernment forces began, a. series of dispatches came from Kiangsi prov- ince announcing similar “victories” over the Soviet forces. . * !
