With strikes and department stoppages continuing to flare up de- spite the Washington settlement and strenuous efforts of labor mis- leaders and the automobile labor board to hold workers in line, city officials are continuing with plans to bring in the strike breaker-in- chief, General Hugh Johnson, to bludgeon the workers into submit- ting to the employers’ will Mayor Couzens was scheduled to meet today with the labor bureau- crats to make plans for a mass meeting at which Johnson will speak.

SECRETARIAT NEW YORK DISTRICT C, P. Lock-Out In N. Y. Dress Trade Ends NEW YORK —The dressmakers’ lock-out ended yesterday, with the workers being ordered back to the shops without officials of the I. L. G. W. U. taking up the question of working conditions. A so-called impartial commission was ordered set up by General Johnson to “iron out” all matters which led up to the lock-out. But, knowing how these N. R. A. com- missions work, it is clear that the commission will do all for the con- tractors and jobbers and nothing for the workers. Commenting on the lock-out, Mr. David Dubinsky and Julius Hoch~- man, of the Dress Joint Board, were satisfied merely to state that a million dollars was lost by the con- tractors and dressmakers as a re- sult of it. Leaders of the union further stated that the stoppage served to “undermine authority in the dress industry and the con- tractors invoked a weapon which may now be used against them,”| The “authority” which leaders of the International were talking about is the open no-strike agree- ment concocted by themselves and the dress bosses. They fear that the | workers might now take the matter into their own hands and strike against the miserable conditions now prevailing in the shops. The lock-out ended without the leaders of the International saying a@ word about taking up the fight for the continuance and main- tenance of the agreement. But due to the activities of the left wing group in the union a great number of shops are expected to put up a fight for improved conditions after the workers return to work.

The detailed story of this, I bet, would be mighty exciting. * * . UT I did get a release from the Soviet Union on the still more recent ski marathon running from Irkutsk to Moscow (4,200 miles) in 83 days. That’s one record hard to beat in any land. Five Red Army junior commanders did the job, ar- riving in Moscow to take part in the festivities of the 16th anniver- sary of the Workers’ and Peasants’ Red Army. 170,000,000 people grest- ed them. Thousands welcomed them in the Red Square of Moscow. The next evening, after a night's rest, these young men, ranging from 22 to 25 years of age, were inter- viewed. Here’s the inside story in part: Gandimurov, the leader of the quintet is talking—‘“It was a clear, frosty morning, Nov. 30, when we left. scores of our comrades from the |Red Army and sportsmen of the city. We then gave our word that we would reach the Red Capital by Feb. 23, the day of the Red Army “That very same day we reached a place where strong winds had blown away the snow, forcing us to take off our skis and walk about seven miles. We covered 30 miles that day.” Then these sportsmen got their doses of bad weather; but continu- ally increasing their speed, they made as high as 100 miles in one day. “Then there were days where every mile had to be fought for,” he continued. He described the taiga stretches, 1,000 miles of it, where they were met by fierce winds, rising clouds of snow blow- ing blindingly in their faces. The frost increased, falling sometimes to 45 and 50 degrees below centi- grade. Then came the tackling of the Urals.
