AWAKENING

workers of the world unite! You

Never were these words more ap-
Never was the revolutionary feeling
which they convey more broadcast
among the workers OF this couNry'
than at present.
The working class of the United
States, especially during the last year,
have felt this mighty spirit in the
clarion call of Marx and Engels.
They have listened and learned ana
are about ready to act.
The facts of industry and psychol-
ogy and of current events convince
the close student of the American
working class that something big is
getting ready to happen in this coun-
try.
The slaves of Mckees Rocks and
Bethlehem and Philadelphia and New
Castle and New York and the West
have all received a vision of the
mighty mission of the working class.
This vision has been the result OF
the everyday struggles of their lives.
They have learned, indeed, that soil
darity is the revolutionary watchword
OF the hour. That the struggle be-
tween tiem and their economic mas
tiers is becoming more and more in
tense, that exploitation is increasing
and that the great wealth which their
labor has produced has gone to the
few who SOW not but reap and enjoy.
The lessons of history and the long,
desperate struggles of the workers
in the past are sinking deeper and
deeper into their consciousness. They
are realizing that these trials and de-
feats have been mighty lessons bear.
