A few weeks later an ardent agita-
tor turns up in some American mining
town and distributes handbills TO the
miners-"Miners of America Resist
the Terrors of your Masters! This
time you can win IL you use your or
ganized power against your enemy
who assassinate you and your families
who attack your wives, daughters and
mothers as they did in 1912 at Paint
and Cabin Creek, w. Va. in 1913 a
Calumet, Michigan. in 1914, at Lud

children were burned alive by the hire

in regard 10 the Second National Con
vention Of the Communist Party OF
America, where special attention is TO
be given TO the farmers Of America. az
the advance notices show: TN
America over forty million people live
on farms. Most of these arc farm
families operating small farm home
units. The products, the struggles and
the psychology of these semi-prole-
tartan farmers constitute our agrarian
problem.
Communist Nuclei must penetrate
existing farm organizations. The or
.
their reformist tendencies and be in
duced TO make revolutionary demands.
We must gain control Of educational
farm organizations. With these We
hicles we could penetrate all farm or
ganizations. Lastly we must estab-

which will serve for leadership in the
farmers revolt"
The latest crop reports show bumper
crops i'm the West. and the ever busy
agitators rush to Kansas to urge the
harvest hands to let the crops rot on
the ground. You go into Kansas
broke" says the dodger, "and most Of
you will leave Kansas in box cars
broke, broke, just after producing a
few hundred millions of dollars in
wealth. Gov Allen did not mention
hours. But as you read this you will
know that the hours are ten in few
localities, eleven usually and twelve IN
the least civilized parts of the State.
So Il goes through all the great IN
dustries Of this country. Not content
with despoilng Russia, the poisonous
hands of Communism stretch out on
ali sides for new victims.
