SOVIET INDUSTRY POLISH UNEMPLOYED (Reed. Oct. 24, 10.30 a.m.) LONDON, Oct. 23. The Moscow correspondent of the British United Press says that 10,000 Polish unemployed from the region of Lwow have begun a compulsory trek to the Don basin area of the Soviet Ukraine, where they arc to be forced to work in the coalpits.
